Has anyone replaced their 12V battery yet? Has anyone experienced the warning message that speaks to the battery going bad? Should the battery be replaced every "X" number of years - no matter what?

For some reason the updates in 2020.12.6 are causing some folks to be apprentice about using it because its not perfect. I understand that. I know its not perfect, however the more we use these features it appears that the sooner they get tweaked and fixed and the faster Tesla rolls out new...

I have been using Traffic Light & Stop Sign Control. Before this I never/rarely ever used TACC on local streets. Today I noticed that while using Traffic Light & Stop Sign Control my car also slowed down EVERY time I went over railroad tracks. Did normal TACC on streets slow down at Rail...

It appears that Tesla is looking towards full body casting of the model Y. hmmmm…. The only thing that comes to mind when full body casting a car in one gigantic press is repairs. I wonder how many cars are going to be totaled if a part of the casting is damaged. They are looking into...

It appears that Tesla is looking towards full body casting. hmmmm…. The only thing that comes to mind when full body casting a car in one gigantic press is repairs. I wonder how many cars are going to be totaled if a part of the casting is damaged. They are looking into casting down to the...

I'm sad. Its earth day and I can go out with my P3D and celebrate by rolling around in the earth ( dirt ). We need a model 3 "stay at home" parade. <-----wait... hmmm is that even possible?

FYI It appears that a few early model 3's have an issue with the bushings that hold the rear drive unit. I have a service call in for mine to be replaced. Unfortunately Tesla says that the bushing that holds the motor is not part of the drive unit warranty. I have 57K miles. Price to...

It would have been a wonderful thing if we could warp into the future when FSD is all over. That way we could all stay home and have our Tesla's go out into the world where stores could place our purchases in our cars and then we could bring the car back home. Anywhoo…. I'm really happy...

The first time I saw the Model Y top windows....my desires from March 31'st 2016 were rebirthed. The Model Y has the exact configuration that I hoped for on March 31st 2016. That gigantic center window on the top of the Y is outstanding. Sure...I love my model 3 and its windows. Model 3's...

I can remotely summon the car with nobody inside. I can engage autopilot and the car essentially drives itself. I can remotely vent the windows..... heat the seats.....and control the interior temp....etc. However I cant get a simple thing like my horn to work - after visiting my service...

Since my HW3 update I'm getting the message Cruise Control not available message. Almost daily. I'm not sure what the problem is but almost every time I get in the car and try to engage autopilot or cruise control. The consistent remedy to this is to pull over to the side of the road - place...

Years ago....I used to think that the Model S and X biodefense air filters were just an over-the-top feature that just made the car more expensive with additional failure points. I couldn't imagine that it would ever be a situation that would call for such a feature. Welll….. Now I ask...

Looks like a Taycan has caught on fire. Where are all of the super fair reporters that follow Tesla around like a hawk? Porsche Taycan caught on fire — burning down a garage in Florida - Electrek How does Porsche get a get-out-of-jail free card?

https://electrek.co/2020/02/14/porsche-delivers-first-taycan-4s/ Well Well, Porsche did it at almost twice the price of a Model 3. <------They should be embarrassed. 79.2kWh pack - yep P3D like. 253 miles - not quite P3D numbers but acceptable $104,000. - whoaaa - missed the total boat on...

Tesla is starting to add third-party charging stations to its in-car navigation - Electrek Well well......looks like there are going to be a TON more places to charge per our maps. albeit - not quickly - but.....who's complaining? Let me answer my own question if you don't mind. Answer...

Looks like Ford will be training their techs via VR to fix their Mach-E. Ford will use VR to train technicians to work on all-electric Mustang Mach-E - Electrek I'm so glad Tesla didn't do that. Here is a quote from Ford: Technicians will don an Oculus Rift VR headset and then perform...

I know that I won't have to ask anyone's opinion about this. I understand Tesla's position - and I understand an individuals position on this one. Hmmmmmm. https://electrek.co/2020/02/14/tesla-force-software-updates-owners-resisting-them/ Maybe I don't need an opinion. <-------...

Its currently 25F in Chicagoland today. Snowing for the 2nd day in a row. The front of my Model 3 was caked with heavy wet snow. FSD became unavailable. All of the images of cars and such stopped displaying on the screen. This always happens to me when the forward facing radar behind the...

Can you imagine how much trouble Elon would have been in if he called one of his cars "Nude" like this electric car? Well these people did and aren't wrapped up in some stupid court trial like ELON was going through. united nude challenges conventional vehicle forms with lo res car

I am in need of finding out what the Model 3 uses for the lane change algorithm because my car changes lanes at the strangest times. 1. No one in front of me for a mile. No one behind me for a mile. Its changing lanes ( not often, but enough to be annoying at times ). Why? How can we...

Can anyone guess as to why Tesla put the Bluetooth microphone in the Model 3 on the passengers side? What could possibly be the advantage? Quite often my car confuses my words when I ask the car to do something or when I talk on the phone. Should I start screaming over to the passengers seat...

Ok.... So I turn on the heat in my car to 69 degrees F. The outside temp is currently 32 degrees F. The fan speed is 1. I can dial up the Temp to 72 and sure enough it gets up to 72. NOW I turn on the "AUTO" feature and the fan cranks up ( still set to 72 ). What does "AUTO"...

So....what's the problem. Well, A little while ago it was stated that my car has FREE supercharging for the rest of the time that I own it. Sounds great - right? Now - I have free connectivity for the life of the car also. Sounds great - right? So what's the problem? The problem is...

My dashcam is always recording ( or putting files on my HD that is installed ). I'm wondering if you guys know the absolute proper way to remove the HD ( or whatever device you have installed ). I always feel apprehensive about just yanking out a USB device without letting the OS know that...

Lets skip the reason that soooooo many Model 3's ( Tesla's )require service. 1. Can anything be done about the length of time required to get an appointment? 2. What can be done about the length of time needed for repair once the car it at service?

I sent an email to the Early Access Program folks at Tesla and found out that it is no longer in existence. EAP was supposed to be a bonus for those who purchased their model 3's early. Oh well.....

Dear Tesla, It would sure be nice to have some kind of audible "microwave" type alert to let you know that Supercharging is complete...you know.….just in case you want to take a light nap and want to avoid the cost/price of idle charges due to missing the silent "charging complete" notification...

Anyone know how to get rid of this error? Why does it happen?

Anyone here have it yet? Any improvements?

Simple, What does the start button on the App do?

What do you guys think is the best adhesive to mount the OEM spoiler back on with? Tesla has re-attached it twice. I'm just wondering because I might take the plunge and try it myself the next time. It just starts separating at the furthest ( smallest ) points and further separates itself...

I'm reading story after story about how Tesla's are catching vandals and potential thieves in the act with dashcam footage I'm wondering if Tesla should lead the way in creating a website to display said-criminals and their nefarious acts. I'm confident that even ICE cars would be inclined to...

Question for Everyone. Please be honest. This is a Poll to possibly find out why the following hole is preset in "some" model 3's.

There are many opinions as to what features everyone wants or doesn't want on the Model 3. Simple question: Open to the entire forum: What is the perfect Model 3? Which options. Lets see if we can come to a consensus of some type.

How many speakers are in the front of the original audio upgraded Model 3? Does anyone know for sure how many?

2:30 in the morning. No one in front of me for 1/2 mile on a 3 lane expressway. Cant see anyone in the rear view mirror. 65MPH open road middle lane - NOA activated. Car wants to move to the left most lane. I figure - Strange but I let it. 1/2 mile later...it wants to move back to...

Does anyone believe this guy was allowed to keep his warranty in tact? Watch a Tesla El Camino pickup destroy some tires - Electrek

Anyone have GAP insurance? If so...where did you get it?

I'm just wondering what you guys think. Do potential Tesla buyers need to know what the repair times are if they are in an accident? ( even one that is not their fault? ) Everyone.....I'm not making any of this up. I couldn't believe it. I called the standard Tesla Customer Support line...

Everyone, I was rear ended today. One lady not paying attention causing tremendous grief and sadness. Car is inoperable. ( It said it on the screen ). It was towed to a Tesla suggest repair place. Got there and there were many Tesla's there. Body shop was top of the line, however they...

Tesla CTO JB Straubel excercises ~$3 million in options as office presence called 'scarce' - Electrek Sorry...but I'm outa here as an investor. Trust me - I'm pulling for them!!!! I wonder how much of this is Elons Fault. What a nice guy, but he shouldn't battle the big dogs of the stock market.

Question: Other than the foam inside of the tire ( seemingly ) making the ride quieter.... why the design change. I have a temporary non-Tesla Pilot Sport 4s ( standard ) on the rear drivers side right now ( because Tire Rack didn't have a Tesla one ) and I like the look of it better than the...

Who knows. Guiness counts all different kinds of crazy records.

Anyone know what the dot in the middle of the back window is for on 2019.16.2?

My question is: How long could a person sleep on autopilot before the car itself has stopped? Tesla driver gets license suspended after drunkenly falling asleep on Autopilot My car warns me every 20 to 30 seconds to hold the wheel and if I have no response.....then it starts its shutdown...
