    Elon Musk

    Yikes. And everyone's trying to stay on elon's good side to get invited to the next product reveal right? I shouldnt have come back here. Enjoy your bubble.

    Elon Musk

    How can you maintain that policy when the head of tesla has just jumped headfirst into politics? For the climate change denial party no less? You're going to end up coming across as elon's propaganda arm. This is the ELON thread after all. To say we can't discuss the most recent news ABOUT...

    Elon Musk

    I just wrote a long post on this thread explaining how elon's recent behavior has turned me off from being a tesla supporter due to his support of the climate change denying party that tried to overthrow democracy. Now that post is gone. I haven't been on TMC in a while. Is that what this...

    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    You might need to provide a link to the time they tried to overthrow democracy. Unless you're being sarcastic. There are people who say that and mean it so it's hard to tell.

    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    I was the biggest tesla and elon fan I knew. I overlooked all the quality flaws with my model 3 and told other people there's no reason to ever buy any other car. Elon started to lose me when he started pumping climate roasting crpytocurrency. How can you claim climate change is the biggest...

    Free speech isn't anti democratic. But supporting the party that tried to overthrow democracy sure is.

    Software version that disables radar?

    If you refuse updates, they'll just make stuff stop working on your car to force you. I haven't updated since they made the UI worse and now today I can't precondition the AC in my car anymore.

    Sound system lost it's "punch" after latest update

    I'm on 42.4 and still get occasional static problems. Specifically If I listen to talk radio and they play audio of a phone caller on the radio show, the audio of the phone caller will frequently distort into high frequency static/buzzing.

    Hands Up of you bought a Tesla and you don't care about clean air or the 'Telsa Mission'

    "Hands Up if you don't care about clean air?" In other words, how many of you are selfish pricks?

    Nice job! I've considered doing this exact project myself. Thanks for sharing how it looks!

    Software Update 8.1 2018.34.1

    I'm gonna start calling these things OTA downgrades instead of OTA updates.

    Traffic aware cruise control - initial set speed?

    Do you see somewhere on the tesla website to report things like this? I don't see any.

    Traffic aware cruise control - initial set speed?

    I just posted this same issue on the model 3 facebook forum. Yeah it's really annoying. You can't set your cruise speed anywhere below the posted speed limit. I was advised to switch from "relative" to "absolute" in the autopilot settings, and that didn't change anything.

    Why do both wheels not work to adjust mirrors?

    Thats actually how it was initially. You're right - much more intuitive and better. Then they screwed it up with a software updates. Im sick of hearing how OTA updates are awesome. They've downgraded more things in my car than they've improved.

    Flooding

    I'd park it on the second level of the nearest parking garage. Even if a flood doesn't kill your car, it aint gonna escape without some damage, even if it's just mold.

    Tesla backing away from "Phone Key as primary key"

    Oh well, since it works for YOU, that's all that matters. All these other people with constant problems must be lying.

    Tesla backing away from "Phone Key as primary key"

    The issues is they can only improve ONE SIDE of the tech, because the other side is a phone which they don't manufacture or control. As long as they use phones as keys, there will be problems for this reason.

    First Road trip with model 3.....really sucks.....

    No that observation is made by many many many other problems that have been created by rushing cars off a new production line. These are not occassional issues, they affect a huge portion of brand new cars. Not charging specifically, but you'd be foolish not to test if before taking a road...

    First Road trip with model 3.....really sucks.....

    Yeah production is still far too sloppy to trust these cars on a road trip without thoroughly checking them out first. I took my first road trip a few weeks ago, but I first went to a supercharger here in town to make sure supercharging worked, because I didn't want to end up in a situation...

    In the real world, if black unemployment was at record lows THANKS TO TRUMP, then it wouldn't have started improving YEARS BEFORE TRUMP TOOK OFFICE, would it Einstein? Unless trump was somehow improving black unemployment back when he was laundering money for russians and boning porn stars...

    Elon Musk

    Just like trump, you spout lies as if they're facts. He introduced his campaign by saying mexico was sending rapists and murderers. He was called racist for that, because it was racist, in an attempt to win the approval of racists. Prior to that, he spent years trying to make people think the...

    Elon Musk

    Half right. There is only one reality, and it's not what you hear from the guy who says climate change is a chinese hoax or that he never paid hush money to porn stars.

    Obviously not. You share trump's relationship with the truth.

    Elon Musk

    That's not hard to prove considering he admitted it on national television. Change the channel.

    Elon Musk

    You have been misinformed. It is the president's prerogative to fire whoever he wants, but if he fires them to stop an investigation, that is obstruction of justice and it is a crime. Change the channel and you won't be so misled and misinformed.

    Elon Musk

    CNN says nothing of the sort. If CNN was so bad, you wouldnt have to assign false positions to them. CNN says trump doesn't believe in climate change science. That is a fact. CNN says trump appoints professional pollution defenders to be in charge of protecting the environment. That is also...

    New theory - Elon is shorting the stock

    My next theory is that he's too foolishly reckless to run a company in such a precarious position.

    New theory - Elon is shorting the stock

    It's the only way to explain his otherwise self destructive behavior. He shorts the stock, acts crazy, calls people pedophiles, makes money. Sadly, this might be the most optimistic interpretation of his recent behavior.

    Elon Musk

    Yeah that's why CNN spent years talking about bill clinton's penis. Because they're so anti republican. Telling the country that trump is a lying con man isn't political activism, it's the duty of the free press. It's not an opinion. It's a fact. People need the facts. CNN talks about...

    Elon Musk

    The soviets don't care about the 2nd amendment. They care about harming america. They know the best way to do that is to elect republicans. And the best way to do that is to funnel money to them. And the best way to do that is to use the NRA. Which is exactly what they did. And the NRA is...

    Elon Musk

    If CNN only exists to take down trump, what were they doing for the 30 years before trump came along? The world's most famous liar is telling you not to trust CNN, and you believe him. Yes, it is the responsibility of real journalists everywhere to inform the public if they are considering...

    Did you get EAP? Why or why not? (Poll)

    You're not alone. That's why tesla won't sell it separately. Even though base level nissan and hyundai's now include TACC for free in the base model. Pretty pathetic.

    Did you get EAP? Why or why not? (Poll)

    I got it but I rarely need it. It was great on the one road trip I've taken, but I rarely take road trips. $5k is too expensive for rare usage. I wish you could just buy adaptive cruise control for $1-2k. That would be fair.

    CNN is corporate media and protects their sponsors, but that's not the same as being created to misinform people like fox news. False equivalencies are false.

    I think I'm going to turn OFF cabin overheat protection

    It's bizarre that the default setting is ON, which drains lots of power. As if most buyers have either pets or small kids, live in a hot climate, and are stupid enough to forget them in a car. I use this super high tech solution called leaving the windows cracked open an inch.

    Elon is still throwing out pedophile accusations. He has learned nothing.

    This is extremely troubling. Does he really have the same lack of self control as the president? Is his brain fried? I never thought I'd say these words, but I really hope that guy is a pedophile. And elon has evidence. Otherwise he's gone nuts.

    Elon Musk

    You're falling for russian propaganda. The goal of the KGB propaganda technique known as WHATABOUTISM is to make the public give up on trusting anything they hear, tuning out, and letting the authoritarians get away with anything they want. Not all media is corrupt. And certainly not equally...

    Phone as Key Issues

    Because they are attempting to use your phone as your car key without addressing many of the predictable issues this system would create. They'll fix it when they offer the fob. That's the only way to make the entry system fully reliable.

    Should I add EAP before or after I get a VIN?

    Unless you spend a lot of time on long highway drives, or spend a lot of time in traffic james, EAP is overpriced at $5k. I bought it and it was awesome on a road trip I took, but for everyday driving I don't need it at all.

    Tesla Model 3 Is The Most Efficient Electric Car On Highways

    Blog Report Says Tesla Had to Rework Most Cars in Push to 5,000

    Make that 4301. I need some stuff fixed on mine too. Loose headlight. Loose side mirror. Warped windshield glass. And for some reason the sound system doesn't sound as good as the early build model 3 i rented a few months back.

    Maps, traffic issue

    I've tried that. It doesn't work all the time. Even if it did, it shouldn't be necessary. You shouldn't look at the map and have to double check that it's not lying to you.

    Maps, traffic issue

    Nav traffic problems. My car lead me straight into a traffic jam last night. The highway was green on the map screen, then I turn onto the entrance ramp and low and behold - the highway is a bumper to bumper traffic jam. I zoom the map in and out a little and it refreshes and the whole highway...

    Tesla Service Paint Repair/Repaint Experiences...Please Share

    Welcome to service hell. Which absolutely no one could have predicted, unless they have a functioning brain. Tesla needs to ramp up service about 10x if they're going to put 10x the number of cars on the road.

    Head rests - so narrow and far forward

    The headrests are one of the strangest design decisions in my opinion. They jut forward into your head and are extremely narrow. I think they would be especially annoying for a front seat passenger who wanted to recline and take a nap to balance their head on that 6 inch wide section. I read...

    White seats are too soft

    I like them. I was afraid they'd be too hot in the SoCal summer heat with the car parked in the sun all day, but it's been acceptable. I do have a white car though which might help keep things cooler.

    Issues after one week.

    Yes it's almost the exact same as that. On the model 3 I rented last February, it looked screwed up on the right spoke instead.
