    Sentry Mode catches door dinger and saves me $1000.

    This was the day after my OTA update and first time ever activating Sentry Mode. I set it just for fun as I parked in a fairly remote part of a near empty parking lot. Came back to my car and couldn't believe someone nailed my door! Was super excited when I found the clips showing the vehicle...

    Tesla Addiction Support Group

    Before Tesla I'd buy a car, drive it into the ground over 7-10 years then buy another. Anyhow, bought my first Tesla in 2016 and now just ordered my third Tesla...and as soon they come out with something else new and amazing I'll probably end up buying that. Three Teslas within 2 years:eek:! If...

    Tesla Board of Directors: Get control over your CEO's Twitter Account!!!

    ‘Think of us small people’: Tesla fans are begging Elon Musk to stop tweeting Maybe as a group we could petition the Board to take action to remove Elon's twitter account as for some reason he seem incapable of deleting it himself.(we're not talking about removing Elon, just deleting his...

    Turn Off Presidential Alert Notifications. Help!

    After searching the web apparently there is no way to turn off "Presidential Alerts". There must be a workaround. I know there are plenty of software engineers, Tesla hackers etc on TMC. Any ideas how to block these for iPhone users? Note: this is not a thread debating the merits of the...

    Tesla: Please Have Continuity Between Models When Disengaging AP

    Just competed a 2000+ road trip in my new MS. Everything great but one really tiny thing made me a little crazy and fix seems super simple. On the S(and I think X) when you disengage AP(I know you can disengage by hitting brake but I much prefer the smoother transition of disengaging via stalk)...

    Trying to be a polite Tesla Model 3 driver but ICE cars are soooo slow!

    I didn't notice this as much when driving my S but the Model 3 just wants to go...NOW! ICE cars are so friggin slow getting up to speed I find my self tailgating and swearing about slow ICE cars. This is really not appropriate driving behavior and for now I need to accept the fact that most cars...

    Poll: Is Elon Musk more similar to Gandalf or Saruman?

    In the past I would have chosen Gandalf and us, his loyal followers, Hobbits but with recent events(attack on media etc.) I'm wondering if he's evolving into a Saruman with his loyal followers Urak-hai? There is no Sauron choice(yet) as Sauron was pretty much evil from the get go whereas...

    Ideas To Help Prevent Auto Pilot Accidents...It's Time To Get Real

    I an attempt to prevent another fellow Tesla owner from getting killed or injured in a completely avoidable accident while using AP, let's share some ideas here. I have about 40k miles(all highway) on AP1 and here are some ideas: 1. Real World Training. There are many pieces to AP. There are...

    32 Hour Drive in 2 Consecutive Days...Thank You AP1!

    Drove 1600 mi from Cape Cod to New Orleans over a 2 day span(in brutally cold weather buts thats a different story). If I had attempted this drive with a fossil car it would have been either unachievable or incredibly grueling and dangerous. With AP1(and Teslas media player of unlimited...

    Am I the only one who couldn't care less if my Model 3 headliner is cloth instead of fake suede?

    If you post on TMC you've probably had a pretty decent life...so who freaking cares if your state of the art electric car has a fake suede(oh...I mean Alcantara...from the rare and mythical creature of the same name) or cloth for a headliner? To appease the masses, an easy Tesla fix could simply...

    Business idea: Start shipping company using Tesla Semis. Seems you'd have a huge competitive advanta

    "*Advantage" I've been toying with the idea of starting a local shipping company(Tesla Semi range totally works) to compete with the legacy shippers out here. Seems to me I'd have an immediate competitive advantage(as Tesla Semis run so much cheaper than the old trucks on the road). This could...

    Anti Teft Idea: Activate Passive Entry From App

    To prevent "relay attacks" I think it would be helpful if Tesla added "Passive Entry" to the app. I like auto presenting doors most of the time and I know you can set "passive entry" from the car but there are situations where I'd like to set passive entry remotely(leaving a car parked longer...

    Elon Musk Needs His Own Tim Cook to Take Over Tesla’s Operations

    Interesting read but not sure I agree. First off, doesn't Elon have subordinates who handle operations? And second, comparing Apple production to Tesla production is quite a stretch as the level of complexity to create state of the art electric vehicles is far, far greater than producing mini...

    New Tesla Roadster...Stupid Inexpensive

    As there is absolutely nothing like it in the world, Tesla could have set the new Roadster price at 500k+ and pre sold those 1st 1000 founders units in a heartbeat. I wonder if those 1st 1000 units are going to be an introductory type offer with a more realistic price later on?

    Non Tesla Charging Stations Reliability

    I have a bunch of "non Tesla" charge stations within a couple mile radius from where I live but over the past month 4 out of 5 were out of order(and all 4 were from different companies/organizations...Charge Point, EVGo,local municipality etc.) . One of them is a high speed DC and I ran into a...

    After One Year Of Tesla Ownership I'm Sooo Disappointed...

    that I can't get a Tesla T-Shirt. So, most apparel has been out of stock on the Tesla store forever...and now it looks like there is no more merch store. I paid big money for my car and can't believe I can't find Tesla licensed apparel(Mercedes and Lexus would never let this happen!). What is...

    New Elon Musk Company: "Missile Command Co."

    I'm not a scientist nor engineer but with the huge roll out of Model 3, the future of autonomous driving and considering the current state of global turmoil wouldn't this make total sense for Elon's next venture: "Missile Command Co."? This is how it would work: Once full driving autonomy is...

    Tesla Model S One Year Anniversary Review

    Having recently passed my one year(18000 mi) anniversary of owning my Model S, I posted this review on Edmunds and thought I'd share here. Instead of focusing on every facet it's short and sweet. Frankly, it's hard to believe my car could be any better yet one year later, a Tesla purchased today...

    2700 mi trip in Model S 60...range anxiety NOT

    Just completed round trip from Cape Cod to Orlando and back in my Model S with 60 kw battery pack. Used AP1 99% of trip. So many superchargers along the way never needed to drop under 15% before another SC was available. ICE never again.

    Watch a Tesla predict an accident and react before it even happens
