I kind of feel bad for trying to pump him for more FSD info on X. He did his best to give those of us with “classic” Teslas info about our inclusion in v12. While we will never know why he is leaving, Musk likes a quiet room for all things Tesla and it will now be quieter.

Ok, I know the 2 1/2 old thread about earliest adopters getting FSD Beta still exists but I thought it might be time to track separately the brand new FSD Beta (v12.x and later) for our ancient cars as there is some belief vertical screen cars will never get it. I realize there are still...

So what is recommedned for cleaning up our rust buckets?😆

As long-time S owners are aware, lifetime Supercharging passes with 2016 and older cars (plus a few early 2017 cars) for the car’s lifetime. Of course, after that time there have been brief periods when lifetime supercharging was attached to new cars but only could be passed to the second...

It appears all Teslas with or without FSD Beta are moving to 2023.44.30.8. I don’t recall a single software release for all cars ever happening before?

So now the Tesla app’s most prominent link is the “refer and earn ad.” Is there any way to eliminate the ad from showing?

The Phoenix suburb of Avondale has purchased a device for addressing EV fires. Maybe this will solve the very real problem of extinguishing EV fires, which tend to flare up even hours later. Apparently the device bores into the battery and water is then blasted into the battery compartment. “…...

Those of us who have had Teslas for a long time wondered at various times if Tesla would survive. There were lots of people here that predicted Tesla’s long term future would be in energy not manufacturing cars. As we watch most car manufacturers adopt the Tesla charging standard and the...

I made sure I have my home address set as “Home” on both of our Teslas and checked the box to exclude our home for walk away locking. Our 2016 Tesla works like a champ and is always unlocked in our garage but our new Model Y locks in the garage. I have tried rebooting the app and triple-checked...

I took Tesla’s FSD transfer offer yesterday (even though I hesitated since FSD will be dropped from my new car if/when I sell it someday). However, since FSD is not yet available on any Y’s with HW4, how can I verify that the FSD “software license” was actually transferred to my new HW4 Y? (I...

I have two Teslas on FSD Beta, a 02/2018 3 and a 12/2016 S. While both cars have the issues experienced by everyone on FSD, only my Model S frequently behaves like a drunk, gently weaving within lanes to the point I turn it off if I have passengers. I had Tesla align the wheels a month ago but...

I assume most/all of these affected owners are waiting for upgraded cameras. But I wondered if any MCU1 car is now actually running FSD Beta and if so the quality of the driving experience. FYI, even those of us with MCU2 spent weeks to many months waiting for camera upgrades. Shame on me for...

I have a 12/2016 S with lifetime free Supercharging and yet the Charge Stats show $19 spent. (I have never charged anywhere but Superchargers and home.) Anyone ideas what is going on?

We replaced our six-year old Gen 1 wall charger last month and I just noticed the new Gen 3 cable has several raised lumps/bumps in it. Is this normal? We live in Phoenix area and are just getting our first cold snap (around 40 degrees) if that matters? (Our much heavier six-year old Gen 1 cable...

I know this issue has popped up previously, even a year ago. Some people said a reboot solved it. That doesn’t seem to be fixing my 3. Oddly, everything is normal for my Model S. Both cars are on the latest FSD Beta. Fortunately, the 3 has voice commands that can be used to open YouTube...

I love the fact we don’t require lots of routine maintenance. I also loved when Elon claimed Service would never be a profit center. Yet I am being quoted over $300 for install of $12 parts of air filter and desiccant bag. Any thoughts on need for replacing the desiccant in the AZ desert?

On both of my Teslas I was asked to log into Google, which is unusual. Maybe that was a bad omen. I can watch YouTube but when I go into YouTube tv I get the following message on both cars: ”Sorry there was an error licensing this video.” It appeared on everything -- live and recordings. Oddly...

After several hours of night driving and trying different settings, I need your help! Even when I turn off automatic headlights on my 3, it is still flipping between dim and bright like a drunk. Any thoughts how to solve this issue? BTW I always have had auto headlights turned off on both Teslas...

Several weeks ago my car stopped making lane changes into the adjoining left lane on multi-lane city streets. Tech told me it was because cars can’t tell which direction the adjoining left lane is moving. Any one else experienced this situation?

IC on my 12/16 S has been falsely reporting passenger side rear door open when trunk is open. This fault first occurred before HW3 upgrade a couple months ago and persists. Since IC panel was replaced with HW3, it must be software and it puzzles me that it persists after what seems like nearly a...

though I still had six months of original warranty left. Dumb, I know. But I figured the four year warranty on the new MCU2 made the decision easier. Then a few days ago Tesla lowered the warranty on replacement MCUs to two years! So do I have a four year or two year warranty? (I probably should...

If I remember correctly, it took at least a year for AP2 to catch up and pass AP1 — and arguably it still hasn’t in a few ways like reading speed limit signs and lane merges. While I imagine much of the AP1 to AP2 situation was because Tesla was moving from an outside vendor to internal...

I am trying to create a thread that will consolidate posts concerning successful retrofits from HW2.0 to HW3. I am supposedly getting my Model 3 updated from 2.5 to 3 tomorrow. Meanwhile no word on my 2.0 Model S. I realize the first Model S’ with 2.0 should be upgraded starting this month as...

Tesla’s MCU infotainment upgrade support page clearly says those with FSD who buy the upgrade will get HW3 at same time and also says 2.0 with FSD will be invited to the MCU upgrade party in late March. I realize there are about a dozen threads on the MCU announcement but I haven’t found any...

Now that S and 3 are on latest firmware I assumed both have it, but no go on S

In spite of the strong likelihood that this lawsuit is nonsense I see this story headlining several websites including CNN. Since this is the investors forum I wonder how many of you investors believe the timing of this story and TSLA’s rocketing upward price are just coincidental? BTW I...

I don’t know if it is a bug related to a recent software update but it seems my Model 3 sometimes doesn’t lock after walking away.And yesterday, a related event that was both funny — and a bit terrifying — happened when I was picking up my car at the airport. After a tiring trip I hurried to...

I was excited that true one foot driving to full stops was included but it doesn’t seem to work on my “old” S. In fact the release notes are blank. Anyone else had same experience?

I am not a frequent Supercharger user but the last couple experiences have sucked. A couple months ago I used Flagstaff and found two or three chargers slow or broken. That was bad, but today was ridiculous. This afternoon I stopped at the urban Supercharger on Camelback road in Phoenix, which...

It looks like no one with AP2.0 and FSD is yet getting V10 according to TeslaFi. I realize this particular rollout may be stretching MCU1 ability and might explain why those who bought their cars three years ago are in line after people who purchased last week. But it still sucks. (I also...

After several tries with both key fobs in various locations, I cannot get my S to find the fob per the 2019.32 security update. Any thoughts or suggestions? I haven’t seen any other reports of this issue.

“All Tesla cars ordered on or before June 30, 2018 will continue to have access to their existing Premium Connectivity features at no cost for as long as the car is active. As additional apps and services become available in the future, owners will have the opportunity to upgrade their...

While we seldom Supercharge either of our Teslas, I wonder if those who frequently Supercharge find that maintenance of the rapidly growing network is keeping pace with expansion. I stopped at Flagstaff yesterday and a helpful guy flagged me down to report several were out of order. Of course he...

As a non-engineer, 99% of today’s presentation is over my head but it worries me a lot that all of the references to enhancements are in comparison to HW2.5. Does this seem like a big deal for those of us with 2.0? I know the topic has been discussed at length here and Elon’s stream of...

Now that key parts of EAP have moved to FSD? Hard to see how that will work as they manage AP vs EAP

I have 23 days left on EAP trial and I decided to buy it for the $5500 sale price today instead of waiting until the full 30 days trial expires. But when I select Order Now on my car's touch screen it says the cost is the full $7000. Any idea what's going on? Tempe Service Center was stumped...

Now that NOAP has become a feature of EAP, does anyone think it will eventually be taken away from EAP and folded into the FSD upgrade? While it surely isn’t FSD, it does seem like a step in that direction. If someone thinks they still have a good idea what will distinguish EAP and FSD...

Amid all of the negative Tesla stories, I have observed one indisputable positive fact from my little world around Chandler, AZ: Model 3s are popping up like dandelions. When I got my 3 way, way back in January, I probably spotted another 3 about once a month. Now, suddenly this month I see...

Although Supercharge.info shows some current US construction activity, construction seems to have slowed greatly since Spring. Unfortunately for long distance travelers the sparse recent construction activity seems to be more focused on urban chargers than filling significant gaps like the...

even after rebooting the screen. Any ideas?

I get the underlying reason shorts post their stuff all over the Internet on sites without any significant editorial standards like Seeking Alpha and Forbes. Sites without editorial standards and the Tesla cheerleader sites like Electrek that seem to exist mostly to share referral codes with...

was on full display yesterday. Even a brilliant middle aged person in good health can’t continue to burn the candle on both ends. Hopefully, someone he trusts will get him to see the light.

are they depending on Trump to save them from future mpg fleet requirements — or are their other vehicles exempt anyway? If Ford succeeds, I assume GM isn’t far behind. Other than Tesla, I guess this news suggests most cars in the future may come from Asia and American made vehicles will gas...

There are so many issues with my 6 weeks old car that have yet to be addressed but I wondered if it will do me any good to complain about the least of my concerns, i.e., , protruding headlights. Has anyone gotten any relief for this common issue? I am frequently reminded of American cars I...

Lots of people not affiliated with Tesla speak with authority about the 200,000 sales limit and they are surely just making guesses because Tesla refuses to provide any information. Anyone know why Tesla won't share this information so critical to many purchasers? I've never heard a reason from...

Hopefully Tesla will abandon this experiment and get key fobs for us. The “credit card” is fine for a backup but not nearly as useful or user friendly as a fob. Nice try and maybe someday Bluetooth — or whatever comes next — will be more reliable.

The Tesla app on my iPhone 7 normally quickly connects and updates to current time for my S, but the connection to my new 3 is spotty at best. Right now the car is in the garage and the app won’t update. Last update was 28 minutes ago. This happened several times yesterday too. Any ideas?

I posted in the 3 forum about my glass roof being installed incorrectly such that the edge of the roof is about 1/16-1/8 inch or so above the top of the windshield, most noticeable near the roof front edge on the driver’s side. I believe some of you had similar issues on Model S and experiencing...

Unlike my massive S glass roof, the glass roof on the 3 is relatively small since the rear window extends above the rear passenger seats. On my 3, the glass roof panel was installed such that on the driver’s side it sits about 1/8 of an inch or so above the windshield. I believe some S owners...

Open Amazon Prime -- if you have it -- and watch the 2008 hour long episode of Nova called "Car of the Future" featuring the brilliant and funny car guys/MIT grads, the Magliozzi brothers (Click and Clack). It's hardly an ICE promo but definitely spends the most time discussing efforts to make...
