If we get access to buy Starlink as an IPO or even SpaceX directly, what percent of your TSLA holdings would you be willing to sell in order to buy? I'm sure when this happens matters, but if it were today, what's your thoughts?

I'm not an AI expert. But I know AI has shown rapid improvement towards the later part of its training on its way to mastery in other domains (ChatGPT, image recognition, Go, etc). Is that expected or is the size of Tesla's dataset problematic? I think Tesla's dataset and ability to collect...

I've got a 2018 TM3 with RADAR, but FSD beta installed so it's disabled. Been evaluating FSD beta for many months now and am very unimpressed specifically with following distance. It often follows too closely with the distance setting on max. It's also quite inconsistent, sometimes the...

Thinking ahead for someday when I have grandchildren (God willing). I'd like to set aside $5K to $15K worth of TSLA for college (or more). A dedicated 529 will NOT let you invest in individual stocks. A Roth IRA is perfect because it works for college and any extra then works for retirement...

Unlike previous versions, this one is NOT growing on me. Still hate trying to do the easiest of tasks like seat heater, find a different streaming channel, chech tire pressures, having to close the car screen on every.single.drive. The list is long and I am sad.

Does anyone here think that the fact that FSD can't learn your local roadway nuances might be a deficiency? Everything that FSD sees is like the first time and it applies what it "sees" to the NN. Granted, if your nuance happened to make it into the training dataset, it might do well. A...

Seems random, but with phone and awake vehicle, I'm noticing pressing the HPWC button 1" away from the port is not always working. I manually lightly press the door as a workaround. Happens 10% or less of the time. Wondering if it's firmware or hardware... Anyone else seeing this?

This is a spin-off from a question I asked in the investor thread HERE. I'll kick off the first question for folks who have first hand knowledge of how much demand fees might be (specify what State your knowledge is from) for: 10 SC stalls @250kW = 2.5MW theoretical peak load * 80% = 2.0 MW...

I read some lengthy and active threads. I can easily find myself behind by a few pages. The forum keeps track of what I’ve read and lets me read from my multiple devices, picking up right where I left off... Until the update. Now after a reply, it automatically jumps to the last post (mine)...

I didn't make my CT reservation with FSD. I know that I can edit it and add it. Question is if I add it (to lock price before next week increase) and when time to configure, if I don't choose FSD, does that "change" open the whole reservation to new (then current) pricing? I suspect that my...

They had to keep my car longer than expected to fix the condenser fan- over the weekend. They were nice enough to offer me a beautiful red MS with all the bells and whistles....only it's permanently in CHILL mode. Sounds like that's what they do to all the inventory vehicles now. I guess...

This topic comes up a lot. I know that Tesla does NOT have the hardware to make this happen in a conventional stitch and process the image sort of way, but...... Since we know that the FSD/AP computer is constantly generating a 3D map of our surroundings (think = cones, trash cans, stop...

I'm excited about battery day. 1M mile batteries, V2G, cobalt-free, industry leading power density, etc...Great stuff coming for sure, but I'm thinking my 2018 TM3 is going to take it in the shorts due to what's going to be announced. I get that Tesla is always innovating, but I suspect this...

I noticed the bicycle symbol on my rendered screen and thought "cool, it noticed the bicycle symbol" I've seen it render arrows and such. But as I continued driving and looking to see what symbol it was seeing, I realized that the bicycle lanes didn't have symbols at all, but rather the...

Couldn't search threads with this topic and I don't remember reading anyone complain about this....NoA *frequently* slows down by reducing my speed set point to make a freeway transition but then after the maneuver is complete it doesn't restore my original speed set point. Example is I set NoA...

Anyone else have a driver side vent misalignment like the photo below? I'm VERY close to being out of warranty and am worried this misalignment might lead to rattles and/or inefficient air ducting..... Go out and check yours if you are curious and let me know!

I've almost had my Model 3 for 2 years now and would like to clay bar (technically synthetic mitt) my paint this summer, but can't seem to find a definitive position on using clay on my PPF. My PPF is full frontal. Does PPF get embedded particulates like paint does? If their is risk or no...

Going to need an alignment soon as I swap on my next set of tires/wheels at ~47K miles. I'm thinking an alignment would be wise. Where have you guys found is competent at doing alignments on Teslas? Mine is a RWD BTW. SC is an option, but suspect they are busy and expensive and likely not...

Just curious how much cell imbalance people see when they accelerate quickly? My cell imbalance starts out around 2mv to 6mv when leisurely cruising, but jumps pretty high during moments of heavy 'throttle'. Theoretically this doesn't hurt my head, but was wondering how high imbalance people...

I read a sobering thread in the MS section about someone needing to replace their 60 kWh pack out of warranty. Tesla denied a good-will replacement and quoted him $11K. Most replies thought that was very fair for a refurbished pack from Tesla. I think the TM3 pack is less modular than the MS...

I'm soon going to be past my 50K mileage warranty and am curious what others have needed replaced that commonly gets replaced under warranty? For example, many have brought their car in for something else, but then had the service team "replace the charge port pin deadfronts as part of...

In the morning, I've been watching my "max regen" increase up to a final value of 85 kW as my car warms up during my commute. Today, I decided to see where on the UI screen (the green/black line under the speedometer) the full 85 kW was....So at freeway speed, I completely let off the gas and...

No new firmware. But on my commute home today, AP nag was working overtime. I counted every 12 seconds. At ANY speed. Yep, in stop and go bumper to bumper I am being asked to touch every 12 seconds. I can set my watch by it.This is not my observation previously. What gives? Reboot? Others seeing...

I'm seeing a pretty noticeable loss in range just recently. Is it firmware or actual degradation? See the chart below. Orange triangles represent a new firmware adoption. The big loss happened right at the 40K mileage mark. Blue line is extrapolated range (left axis) and grey line is...

Outside my field of expertise....can someone with some insight estimate the team size Tesla likely has in place to develop their software? I'd like to EXCLUDE FSD and Energy products (ie Powerwall) from this exercise, if possible. Please consider the following: They are developing software...

The truck comes in 250, 300 & 500 mile ranges. Any guesses about the pack sizes necessary to make that happen? I'm thinking 85, 100, 175 kWh without any real calculations behind it....

Check the video(s) for yourselves. I believe my car avoided debris by itself. I was a bit drowsy and didn't react as quickly as I should have as I realized their was something in the road...turns out the car moved slightly to the right, avoided the debris, and then moved back! Was it...

I don't think the "7" distance setting is far enough for my tastes in some situations. I'd like farther, maybe a "maximize Regen" setting that leaves a big enough gap that Regen brakes could be used for most breaking situations (obviously not including emergency situations). Give me a setting...

Really windy in Southern California this time of year. I have been really appreciative of how well AP maintains lane position during huge gusts of wind. Possibly better than me. Makes dicey conditions far more comfortable.... But thinking about this made me wonder how AP knows the difference...

Title says it all. Share your insights.

First time I've seen this graph. Either never noticed the tab or it's new.... Which is it?

I have a long commute. It's about 112 miles roundtrip. I typically charge my RWD LR 80% as my compromise between long battery life and convenience. I usually start my morning with plenty of range at 256 miles. Wednesday morning, I left with 256 miles of range and returned home with around...

It sure appears that Tesla's latest firmwares are all over the map with range. I wanted to see my battery degradation as a function of mileage and then I superimposed my firmware updates. In summary, my observations: NOTE: The dashed line is at the 310-mile mark The triangles represent new...

I've discussed this topic in other threads, often under the "Vampire loss" pretense. Since I think there is a new phenomena here, I've started a new thread specifically for this issue.... I'm seeing a significant drop in range at work. I thought it was vampire loss because I'd arrive at work...

I've always gotten these on occasion, but there has been a recent uptick and it is really becoming a PITA! Anyone else seeing an increase lately?

I think relative to newest firmware (28.3?)...I get 2 new strange behaviors: AC temperature is changing/reverting to a previous? setting. It just seems to jump from what I've most recently set it to to something from before. Can't pinpoint the behavior, but it's seemingly changing by itself...

I guess I just can't wait for FSD to render my mirrors useless like Tesla intends.... I wasn't happy with the limited size of the factory mirrors. While aerodynamic, they really only provide minimal blind spot visibility. I really like to see both my blind spot and even the next lane when I...

Tesla had been selling AP as"beta" software since the beginning..... Since October 2014. That's now almost 5 years. How long can it possibly stay in this status? Any other companies beat this? What's the longest any software has been in beta mode?

I'm not even going to link the original article it's so bad.... But it was from business insider.... Is there anyone in the planet that really thinks this Camry is better looking than any Model S?? Hilarious!

Lots of talk about people trying different tire sizes, but I have yet to conclusively read if replacing the OEM 235/45-R18 with 245/45-R18 results in the tire sidewall extending slightly beyond the rim. Standard size tires offer ZERO rim rash protection because the rim is beyond the tire. I'm...

Looking to hear from anyone who has replaced their 18" tires. Which brand and model did you choose? which size? (standard or changed to...) Cost and shop? why did you pick these? Can you compare Wh/mi to OEM? Can you compare noise to OEM? Thanks for spending the effort to reply. My...

I'll quote the article so as not to reward clicks to this crap.... Apparently if you can make a better "looking" car you have won! Oh, and they'll do that with a crossover....why is this garbage so humorous? Original article How Ford Will Eat Tesla's Lunch in the Next Two Years

I think I read that the ideal SOC to maintain your li-ion battery at for maximum life is 50%. That's not usually practical because you're not using half of your battery's capability (half you range) I usually charge to 80%, and my daily commute uses approximately 20% each way. I plug in each...

Since a firmware change a few months ago (I'll have to dig deeper to identify which firmware it started), I occasionally get in the car in the morning and see the battery is "overcharged" vs my set point. This morning I saw it again. I set SOC to 80% which is normally about 255 miles for me...

Seems like a good battery health indicator would be to know what your average SOC for a given day/week/month/year is. The closer to 50%, the better (theoretically) for battery longevity. I believe that TeslaFi collects the data to support this metric, but do they offer this stat?

With the warning system(s) and AP, it seems like Tesla's would avoid running into vehicles in front of them quite above average. On the other hand, nothing can be done about all the Bozo's on their phones behind you. It seems to reason that Tesla's front vs rear collision rate ought to be...

So I'm half way on my commute this morning, cruising at 75 MPH on the freeway when my low pressure warning pops up. We've all seen it before and it's usually complaining about 1psi or something stupid. But this morning all the other tires showed 44 psi and I right rear showed 37. So I watched...

Just a little whining.... When I leave my climate control on manual and "lo" in the morning, only to return to my hot car in the afternoon, I use the app and select 72 degrees. Once I open the door, the AC stops and goes back to manual, but leaves my temperature at 72. So it doesn't return...

I've been losing 10 to 14 miles while sitting in the parking lot at work. Yesterday I got to work with 194 miles of range and leave with 182 Cabin overheat is disabled Sentry mode is disabled Car is actually asleep (verified via API) Don't use TeslaFi Temps are not too hot (70s to 80s) Parked...

Since Tesla insists on making the rims so vulnerable to run rash, wouldn't it be nice if there Mobile service could fix them while doing other services?
