    Supercharger - Fremont, CA - 47400 Kato Rd (not completed, V3 test site Mar 2019)

    v3 Test site is here, but I don't think it will open to public, it's basically an Tesla office building and warehouse, not suitable for public access.

    Model 3 owners, are you planning on buying a Model Y?

    If you ask me 5 days ago, I'll place my deposit without any hesitation. But after all these fiasco and how they treat old loyal customer, I'll say No, and tell the story to everyone who ask for my advice on Teslas.

    Did we pay more for tax incentive in 2018

    Yes, you're screwed. Not only you been gouged by them from higher price tag, you also need to pay more in sales taxes, yearly renew fee, higher insurance cost due to sticker price.

    Reduced price Autopilot & FSD for existing owners announced March 1st

    This is totally doesn’t make sense, If I paid $5k for EAP before, but under this new structure I still need to pay another $3k for FSD. but if I have neither, I only need to pay $5k for EAP+ FSD? That’s insane... under this new price structure, we shoud get FSD for free.

    Obvious features/functions that weren't obvious to you

    A new tip found in v9: Since v9 map moved the button of switch forward position to top right, it might be more clumsy to pinpoint and click when driving. Especially when you zoom in/out the map then you want it to back to forward position. I found you can just double click the title area of...

    How often do you use frunk?

    I used to use Trunk all the time, until one day my car got breakin and they steal my stuff in trunk. Bandits know how to get your stuff in trunk within 20 seconds. But they don’t have time to read the manul and jump start your frunk. And btw, use siri to open frunk with remote s app is a breeze.

    A little bird told me Model 3 is close to lease

    Believe it or not, ppl gonna see leased Model 3 with half the purchase price within weeks, Since it’s leased from Tesla finance, Tesla gets full tax credits before end of this year and a generous lease offer for their customers. This will convert a lot of orders and help push deliveries for the...

    Quarter glass. None in stock?

    I waited 2 months for my quarter glass, 1st parts arrived shattered, 2nd time it’s scratched, now I’m waiting for 3rd one while my car been installed with scratched glass. Lack of parts and such careless inspection will destroy Tesla’s credibility I have to say.

    Tesla should offer the dash cam as a freemium feature.

    I’d rather them focus on Enhanced Autopilot and Full autonomous driving instead of this gimmicks which you can buy from Amazon for $50.

    Rear view camera - v9.0

    I know a lot of people angry about V9 removed the functionality of stick top rear view camera. There're petitions, rants allover the internet. TL,DR: you won't get it, and Tesla won't change it, the reason is because UI interaction logic is totally changed in v9 to satisfy the future product...

    Version 9 on AP1

    I just got update before sleep, took about 20 min to install on my 2016 AP1 model s. The responsiveness is not bad, considering it using 2011 era Tegra 3. One of my new favorite feature: send location from phone.

    Hi, I just came to notice since 2018.32.2 update, my Model 3 lose the DRL(daytime running lights) ability during daytime, is anyone experiencing the same issue? I might be wrong about the term, it could be signature lights in earlier reports. but it used to look like this on daylight:

    Chevy Bolt makes successful 2,000 mile trip in 16 days. I can do it in 4 with a Model 3.

    This is the exact reason why we choose Tesla in the first place: car is just a tool to transport you from A to B conveniently and comfortably. Did my last trip of 2800 miles in 7 days, just a breeze:

    Who will qualify for a free APP 3.0 HW update?

    Model 3 Drawing Huge Amounts of Power Randomly While Plugged In (after charge cycle complete)

    Looks not right too me, when I charged to 90% overnight, it usually ends up with 281Mi on app notification, the next morning, it's usually 278-279Mi, It's totally fine because of minor vampire drain and battery active cooling, but I never saw the notification barrage like yours.

    Are Dual Motor 3 rear motors basically RWD 3 rejects?

    I’d be more worried about panel gap/fit and finish since they’ve all built in the same tent by the same workers. Hope the have higher standards in QC with such $15000 premiums. Last time I visited Fremont Factory, I didn’t notice they store motors in different racks. They’ve just sit there...

    Model 3 AWD / Performance - lower UDDS Range!

    Looks like Model S/X are designed with AWD in mind and Model 3 are mean to be RWD for a reason. Another cue is Tesla dropped RWD on all Model S last year. There is no draw back to use AWD on every single Model S. However, Model 3 is another story, AWD become a dilemma between best range and...
