The Intel Atom chip Tesla uses is the Atom N450 using a BGA559. Being a Linux based operating system, why can't the chip be swapped out with a slightly faster BGA559 processor like a N475 chip or maybe even a 2 core N570 processor? Has anyone attempted this?

My car was in for warranty work and I asked if they could re-torque the suspension while in there. They put nothing for a price on the estimate. When I got the bill it had a $210 diagnostic fee and $84 for work done. Am I wrong to request the diagnostic fee is removed? Nothing was wrong, I just...

My seat sensor requires me to bounce around the seat for it to sense I'm seated down. This results in a bunch of "prevent rollaway" parking brake engagements and annoying UI continuously locking to the charging screen while charging. I think it just needs to be adjusted or maybe a piece of foam...

I’ve been using my Rav4 as an airport golf cart the last two years or so and it is heavily underutilized. It’s time to let it go Paint is ok. It’s not like new, has some scratches. No major dents, no accident history. Interior is clean. No tears rips or permanent stains Motor runs pretty quiet...

I went on my first trip with the car since 250kw chargers have become a thing. My very first stop I was excited to see 250kw but that was short lived, at around 35% SOC the output went from 250 to 45kw. It then slowly climbed back up to around 80kw at 50% and charged between 60-80kw until I was...

I feel like this is a stupid thing to ask but I have never had this issue before. I have never had an issue with new tires before. I got new tires yesterday and instantly noticed a very slight vibration sound. This morning I started looking at the tires and noticed that two of them had quite a...

I don't remember but was there any overlap here?

I have EAP and hardware 2.5. If I want to change lanes and actually hit the blinker the car moves over right away. When I am on NOA there is still a 3-4 blinker delay. My car also no longer moves out of the passing lane on its own. Are these annoyances an attempt to get people to buy the FSD...

I know there are a bunch of threads along the lines of tires but none really help me a whole lot. I’m at 32k miles and I think I’ll be hitting treadbars on fronts and backs at around 35-36k on my oem tires. OEM tires are really expensive and I’m not all that amazed by them. I am looking at...

My dad hit buy on one of the inventory cars a few days ago. He is ready to take delivery, everything is filled out, money is ready, etc etc. But today the advisor called him with "good news". They have a gray one for $1200 less, only downside is it won't have free supercharging. My father told...

My mom just got a RWD with sport rims. I have a dual motor with aero's. I find that if I drive at 70 mph on the freeway I will get my rated range (my car charges to 266 at 90%). Today I got to drive around my mom's car and drove it at 70 mph on the freeway and got 90% efficiency. Her car charges...

I have an iphone 8s. When I start a phone call I need to turn the volume almost all the way up to be able to hear. When the call is done I have to adjust the volume again for music. My mom's brand new car doesn't have this issue. Is there a setting for this? Is there something wrong with my...

Happened on Friday Happened again today. Ideas? service appointment next week but I'm sure it will be an issue if they can't duplicate it.

just got 2019.7.11 Appears this one adds v3 supercharging. I am usually the last to get a update so this came as a surprise. May have something to do with my constant resets and bug reports with 5.15. That was a really bad one for me

So the day I got the car I immediately peeled off the screen plastic with the tab. After about 4000 miles I saw a little bubble in the top right and thought I had a screen defect. My girlfriend started picking at the edge of the screen and it turned out there was another piece of plastic there...

I have 12.5k miles on my dual motor 3 with aero wheels and have yet to rotate the tires. Wear “appears” to be dead even all the way across. I don’t live near a service center and don’t trust the local tire shops to lift my car right. I think I am going to keep going without rotating. Is...

Maybe this has been talked about, but I can't find it. With Chadmeo, it is possible to feed electricity back into the house. The other day there was a 2 hour power outage in our neighborhood and the conversation about powerwalls came up. Would have been really nice if my car was able to send...

just left the concord, ca supercharger with my model 3. When I got there, it was almost full, I pulled into a spot a a guy in a black mode s got upset. He poured his coffee on my rear wheel and spat on my door handle. Wtf?! What am I supposed to do?

Cons I'm not going to sugar coat this car, it is not a modern Tesla. Paint is not perfect Interior is not stain free It does not look like it just came off of the lot Tires are near the end of life. This is a niche car, this is not a car for someone that everything to work right away all the...

About a week into owning the car I wiped down the screen and was a little bit disappointed to see some light scratches and swirls on the screen when the light was shining on it wrong. Then yesterday I noticed a small bubble near to top right of the screen. Mentioned it to my girlfriend and she...

The install pad marks are still on my windshield. I have always tried to avoid cleaning interior windows because when I do they get fogged/ streaked and all sorts of other problems. How do others clean the inside side of the windows, what is the best product?

right side creaks. Put my hand on it and it stops. It’s annoying. Any ideas what to do?

Leaving my car under a sunshade with a 110 plug for about 20 hours. I will be doing this often Is it better to plug it into a 110 and let it trickle charge up to 70% or leave it be somewhere between 50-70 percent? Northern California so temps aren’t ridiculous but overheat protection will likely...

Day 71 since configuration of white AWD. Have had an ISA for 10 days now. Last email from him yesterday said they were having some delays but I'm looking at weeks not months and I'm at the top of his list, not 100% sure what that means. Neighbors daughter was in town yesterday and she had the...

I have been on the edge of buying one of these for a couple weeks now. My lease for my current car is up in February but would be willing to put the car in my garage now. Still need to decide S or X. Longest drives are Walnut Creek to Sacramento and Walnut Creek to Modesto. The 75kw battery...
