    Is Tesla service deteriorating as they scale??

    Wow! Tesla Motors is a prime example of a) a GREAT CAR DESIGN with b) marginal quality mechanical assembly coupled with c) The POOREST service attitude in the industry! On my 2016 S, it took EIGHT trips to service to get the HVAC working properly. And a total of 7 months to get all the minor...

    Help me decide if my 2020 Model S has a Range Problem

    Lowtek and Snerruc.. On my 2020 model S, and on the fairly level Interstate from Atlanta to Orlando, The indicated energy consumption is about 325 to 330wh/mile at 70mph speed at Outside Air at about 60F on a 250 mile segment. It seems this would use 82KWH. I assume the 333wh/mile includes...

    Help me decide if my 2020 Model S has a Range Problem

    I need some help understanding if a) My 2020 Tesla model S has a problem or b) If my Tesla Service Rep is correct somehow. When I got my new Tesla in mid December, instead of the rated 375 miles of range at full charge, my car would only charge to 355 miles maximum range as shown on the dash...

    2020.4

    Wow!! You guys are EXACTLY on the problem. Just like you, my FIRST desire is for vehicle software that works RIGHT, DRIVES RIGHT, DRIVES SAFELY and incidentally can again decode VOICE COMMANDS and then b) Turn OFF the undesirable junk commands such as the one that causes the car to abruptly...

    Additional Vehicle Information in 2020.4.1

    It is one thing to "slow down" if you are in the center lane with a truck on the right running much slower. It is quite another to JAM ON THE BRAKES so as to frighten the passengers (and the driver) are grossly disturbed!

    Additional Vehicle Information in 2020.4.1

    I have a question about firmware 2020.4 firmware. I have a Model S 2020 delivered in December. Now with 5500 miles on it. All was pretty good with the normal build problems until 2020 update firmware came out at the end of December. Then I experienced a myriad of problems including a) If I...

    Where do you think Tesla's FSD will be 12 months from now (April 2020)?

    If all this means that something approaching L5 will be operational by the end of 2019, Why will Tesla not give us a guarantee in WRITING that at LEAST Level 3 (without government approvals) will be available by the end of 2021? I have made this request twice with an offer to buy a Model S...

    FSD With Purchase Or Wait

    Sir Gua> I agree with your analysis. I bought a 2016 AP1 model s in July 2016. The salesman told me it could "eventually" be upgraded to FSD and I did not buy the option. Then a week after I took delivery in October 2016, we were told that No.. No FSD on AP1 ever. Now.. That said, I am...

    A possible solution to the autopilot nags

    Your suggestion is very good! Perhaps there is a simpler way for some of us to live with the NAGs! 1) Now the light blinks at the top of the screen and if you do not "tug" the wheel, you get a "count of one". 2) I am a driver who is fully attentive to the traffic out the front window. I do not...

    Model S Software/Firmware wishlist

    Model S Autopilot Suggestion: I would like a SINGLE BEEP alert (that is not counted as 1 of the 3 that shutdown Autopilot until you stop and turn off the car). When I drive a) I keep my hands on the wheel at all times and b) I fully concentrate on the roadway around the car. The "keep hands...

    Jon McNeill to depart Tesla

    My experiences with Tesla phone support was pretty good UNTIL the model 3 appeared. Now a) I have not had anyone answer my calls to tech support in 3 calls and I left two requests for callback without any callback. Certainly not acceptable. So I tried WRITING letters to Musk, McNeil among a...

    NTSB Wants Information on Tesla Autopilot Accident

    I believe we all know that Tesla HW1 and HW2 on AutoPilot cannot recognize a fully stopped vehicle as you come up behind one at high speed. For example, at a red light on a main highway intersection. However, if the car if front of you is running at (say) 20mph and you approach at 60mph, then...

    Superchargers super-slow

    There is an additional Supercharger problem as to now unreported. Yesterday, on a drive from Nashville to Memphis, I ran into rain and snow between Nashville and Jackson Tn where I planned to charge. I started out with about 45 miles of "margin", but by the time I got to the Jackson Tn...
