Back when I was big Tesla fan, I thought some owners were overreacting when they criticized Tesla. Now I can put myself in their positions. My initial experience was luckily good. I remember when I got my first Model S 2016, they gave me many goodies. Also they set up a nice tables, nice...

I went to the Tesla service center today, and they keep insisting I don't have Full Self Driving. Their argument is that my car is "capable" to get it upgraded with infotainment to HW 3.0 BUT they keep insisting I have to pay monthly or yearly subscription. The Tesla service center also said...

I love the Model S and the current Raven with 345 Miles and Performance at $99K seems a good deal. I would love to turn in S75D from 2016 and purchase Model S despite there is no change in exterior , even with small tax credit $1875. I have been waiting for the refresh but I don't feel it's...

The price structure is Long Range and Performance with Ludicrous mode only. Will the existing owners still get $20K discount? My guess is that it does not. But it would be awesome if it does.

Maybe I am a little late, but couldn't find the similar posts in the search. Congrats TMC, 1M posts! When I lurked this forum years ago, I remember it was far less than 200K posts in Model S section. More proofs that Teslas are becoming more mainstream and popular today. The odds of not...

I thought all cars prior to 2017 Jan 3rd had FUSC and is transferrable to the next owner. But this P100D is not included despite it has EAP. Does Tesla still honor the FUSC or did Tesla change its mind that all AP 2.0 gets no FUSC? Model S P100D 5YJSA1E44GF166850 | Tesla

Well, in the presentation, Elon said he is confident that the sales of Model Y will exceed Model S, X, and 3 combined. I am a bit skeptical and I don't know why he said it, but for some reason, I think Model 3 will still exceed the sales of Model Y. Model 3 is cheaper, quicker and has longer...

I would assume not many wanted FWD (Falcon Wing Door) due to technical issues from Model X, but I am sure there are some who wanted the feature in Model Y. Just want to see how many were interested in it.

Tesla has been disappointing many early adopters, with the recent Model 3's significant price drop and FSD pricing. In the past, some owners who bought days before the advent of the AP2, Dual Motors, and Battery Upgrade 9K (later became like 2K or free) were definitely not happy and you can...

Sorry if it is already mentioned. I just didn’t see in the searches. It seems software unlock for 100D is back. Highly doubt it is a smaller size battery for 310 miles of range. The homepage doesn’t say we can add it later. It should be able to, right?

Can anyone clarify how owning the car in both states work out? I will take my Model S which is in California to Massachusetts for business. I will also let my family member who lives there drive the car, but I am the owner. So in this case, do I need to register the car in both states or is...

When I drive my cars, I often hear kids on street shouting "Oh, that's a Tesla!." When parked, kids would stop and take a closer look at the car etc. One guy stopped and asked me if it is the car that can go 3.3 0-60. Heck, he even knew the technical aspect. Or last time I saw a little girl...

On your next purchase, would you buy it over Tesla? Let's assume 150+ miles full electric, and no ICE. I bet there are many who would be interested in it.

We know Black Obsidian and Silver Metallic colors are no longer offered. I think Elon said they will be still offered but as off menu. Are they still available for people to order or are they basically gone once the all the color stocks are gone?

I use it almost everyday. Perfect size for my laptop bag or grocery.

Looking at the big thread of how P3 price changed, I was surprised some would choose for Free Lifetime(non transferable) over the PUP $5000(+tax??) refund. My guess is that majority would favor the refund based on sheer number of comments in that thread. If you choose Free unlimited...

Model 3 Performance gets 3.3 seconds with rollout and it seems that how Tesla advertise it in Model 3 webpage. P100D has been out over 1 year and it still advertises 2.5 seconds. We know there was a speed OTA upgrade. First time it was 2.4 seconds with Easter Egg and then I think maybe...

Now that the price dropped to $4K over former RWD LR $49,000, do you feel bitter about this? Do you wish you waited longer and regret pulling the trigger too early? Just curious what goes in buyers' mind.

Today I was at the red light with my 3P+. I first cleared there is no pedestrians nearby and no cops were around. Then, my inner child kicked in and I had an impulse just to punch the pedal to feel the acceleration in the long empty road ahead. I also checked there was no car in the right...

I was searching for the G Force of the Model 3 acceleration as well as Model S 75D acceleration in Google and couldn't find it. Then I realized that high school physics, kinematics, is all needed! Silly me! You just have to be careful with unit conversion from mph to m/s. For those who are...

I have driven 200 miles so far since the delivery. 90% Full Charge Rated Range = 279 Miles 100% Expected Rated Range = 310 Miles exact (279/.9) Currently, I am getting 255 Wh/mile. Mind you that I did at least a dozen of 0-60 under 3.5 seconds as it can get addictive. If I drive carefully...

Normally, I don't like the new car smell as I get vertigo. I didn't like the new car smell in Model S and Model X. I always rolled down the windows for couple months so that the smell goes away. Model X smell went away after like 6 months or so. But for some weird reason, Model 3 smell is...

I saw today in the parking lot, 90 badge but without Dual motors. I see many "90D" badges, but this is first time I have seen 90 badge without "D". I see plenty "85" badges. Is this a rare breed of 90 RWD? I have seen countless Teslas but this is very first time I saw it. Do you guys see...

I am not to sure if it existed briefly. I checked the Wikipedia and it showed Model X 70D with the weight of 2,300 kg vs. X 75D with the weight of 2,330 kg. It sounds like 75D is 30 kg heavier? If that is true, that means 70D was not necessarily the software locked. First of all, I didn't...

With Tesla, you can never predict! Tesla brings back free Supercharging to inventory cars and Model 3 to help sell cars in end of quarter rush Who is triggering today?

I see a lot of Dodge, Lincoln, and Fords. Sure they are American cars but why not Teslas? • 0-60 is quick enough for police to issue the speed ticket. • Tesla is known for very safe car with 5 star rating. (Model S, X and 3 altogether) Police Departments tends to have spacious parkings. Let...

So it seems like it will be gone. They changed the wordings from giving 1 year for free to $100 credit. Tesla reminds me of the Apple back when Apple gave out the free printer AND iPod touch for free for buying Macbook Pro in 2000's. Then Apple dropped those and then started to give out iTune...

The usable battery of 3PD+ is 78 kwh. (total 80.5) Currently 3.5s The usable battery of P85D is about 77 khw. (total 81?) Currently 2.8s. with ludicrous mode, 3.2s without it. But Model 3 is 1000 pounds lighter. A thought crossed my mind that Tesla is purposely "significantly" downplaying...

So we now know that track mode is only for P3D+. (as of 8/31/2018) Based on Elon's twitter, ludicrous mode is likely to happen. We don't know when but if it comes, do you think it will be exclusive to P3D+ or will include all P3D-. Let's speculate until the release.

I used to believe that Model S had refresh only on front fascia in April 2016. But I found out finally today that the back is a little different if you look closely on the bottom bumper. I guess Tesla is doing favor to make old customers still happy as it is not very easy to tell from behind...

When I test drove Model 3, it was a little weird and awkward feeling that there is no screen right in front. I am afraid it will take me some time to get used to it. All you got is the center screen with speedometer and everything else. Did you guys simply get used to the center screen...

I am curious how transferable FUSC will leave the impact on the resale value? My Model X, having purchased in 2017 June, the FUSC is not transferable but I intend to keep the vehicle long. My Model S is for my business and is on lease, so I am thinking of just returning it but then it seems...

I know it varies based on the driver's driving style... But at what miles did you guys change your tires? I think I heard as high as 43,000 Miles before. I am already hearing squeaking sound when I make a turn. It is about time for the maintenance for 2nd year anyway. Can any Tesla...

Somewhat random, but.... In S forum, people say S75D, S100D or SP100D and for those who gotta let the world know they have ludicrous mode, they say SP100DL. Here people say P3D, instead of 3PD or 3P75D, or maybe 3P80D as people found out it uses 80.5 kWh (usable 78.2 kWh?) battery pack. My...

For those who bought the Performance with performance upgrade package and live in snowy areas, are you gonna get 19'' sport wheel for winter to keep the brake calipers on? Tesla shop sells them for $3,500 19'' Sport Wheel for winter tire package, but I am not too sure if the brake calipers fit...

I narrowed down the choice and I can't decide • the pearl white • silver metallic • midnight metallic silver for my M3 purchase. Initially, I thought about another clone of silver metallic but I feel like changing the color is not a bad idea. I see in the forum that both white and silver...

Correct me if I am wrong, but I remember seeing 53K and people talking 11K more expensive for P model 3. But I see 54K now. Did Tesla quietly raised it or am I so late in the news? So initially when AWD was first introduced I remember it was 5K and went down to 4K and now back up to 5K. Also...

I had a chance to test drive the Model 3 and it was a beautiful car and it felt unique its own. I still find Model S looks nice exterior but Model 3 for its price still looks awesome and for somewhat 3's interior seem a little better. But I was disappointed how the backup camera took up the...

Fun speculation here. Do you think Model S 2.0 will keep the rear third brake light? This brake is how I can easily spot fellow Tesla Model S when I drive. Only cars with long third brake I have seen are BMW 6 coupe and Audi 7 series. Please tell me what other cars also have it. Also from...

Just wondering how many people are waiting for panoramic roof (a.k.a. sunroof?) My guess is that roughly 90% of people will be against having it?

While I feel 64K for Performance is reasonable, other than the 20'' wheel, it seems a bit stiff and not so much useful in regular street. For those who are interested in Performance model, are you getting one?

I couldn't find the similar thread; so I might just start one. Tesla seems to increment the options. I see the white interior premium for performance version. There is performance version but does not say anything about ludicrous mode. When I saw the badge in the Model 3 configuration page...

Of course, not the car :p I am talking about the number of Model 3 posts. It feels like it was yesterday when TMC opened the forum for Model 3 and I remember the time when there were like total of fewer than 3000 posts only back then. Having about 500,000 reservations and soon to be the...

Unlike Model S and X, the center touch screen panel is popped out in Model 3. My concern is that if a thief breaks in, and break the center console, is the car still drivable and can the parts be replaced easily? Or is it designed so strong that thief cannot break it apart?

For my Model X recall and uncorking upgrade, I got the loaner, Model S 75 RWD. I really wished I get P100D, but better luck next time! I got all glass roof which looked really nice. But I definitely like the functionality of sunroof. I noticed the RWD cabin noise was much less than Dual...

How many of you guys think that Model 3 would look better with the chrome bar between the tailights like Model S & X? I don't know what you call it but it is the one that look like a samurai sword on S & X. A lot of cars have them lately such as BMW 7 series, Lexus ES & GS, Mercedes S, E...

Just a speculation here. I noticed that in myTesla, there is no indication of performance model. According to the timeline in Tesla Model 3 homepage, 2018 Production of the Standard Battery begins All-Wheel Drive production begins in the Spring International deliveries of left-hand drive...

I never thought midnight silver metallic was a popular color choice for all across S, X and even 3. Well, I was so wrong. In fact, initially I assumed the color was least popular because it seems less conspicuous compared to colors like red and blue. Or even white, silver and black in that...

For those who got Model 3 config invites, how many of you are going for SR for $35,000 price range. While I got excited to configure it and tempted to buy one, I felt it was waste of money for 310 miles as I am planning to keep the Model 3 as a short commute/grocery shopping car around my town...

Sorry no pictures because I didn't want to get into the accidents. But I saw two trucks of the multiple white(maybe stickers to prevent damage?) Model 3 going I-5 south around 9AM today morning passing Buena Park area. There were two trucks of Teslas in tandem. Looks like Orange County is...
