For those of you not following Reddit (I don't blame you) ... There's a mobile tech who posts there, and they just got FSD v12.3.2.1 (a new version) on demo cars running 2024.3.x last night. Hopefully we'll be seeing it pushed to owners cars soon. Would love to try FSD v12 for a month...

Is there any evidence that in older cars that have radar, that it is used in FSD-beta? Or does FSD-beta (v.11 in my case) just ignore the radar (and USS) sensors?

I have a Model 3 on loan from the service center. My normal car is a 2017 Model S. When I type in a podcast title I want to find and listen to, into the M3's search, all it returns are songs and musical artists/albums from the streaming app - no podcasts and nothing from the "tune in" app...

Simple question. As I look at used Model S cars, I'm curious how to tell if they do or do not have USS in them? Is there some other obvious feature change (e.g. yoke?) that corresponded with USS removal?

So yesterday I had a lot of driving to do, so started out the morning with a 100% charge. I finished the day back home at about 8% charge. I needed to do some work in the garage, so had to park the car on the street for about an hour, maybe 2, before plugging it in inside the garage. When I...

I've seen several graphs of people's charging data. Often the graph says that it comes from ABRP data. I've also heard that Scan My Tesla can somehow provide charging data. I've never been able to figure out how to get these data. Can someone ELI5 for either ABRP or SMT, or another preferred...

Engineering Explained has a good segment on what goes into a tire designed specifically for EVs. It kinda feels like one long Hankook advert, but has some great technical content nonetheless. I'm going to be looking for new tires for my model S this summer. I'm on my 2nd set of Bridgestone...

I'm considering an upgrade to my Model S75 via a CPO purchase. Does anyone know what the fees and taxes are when buying a CPO Tesla from out of state, and having it delivered in California? CA DMV shows that used car fees and taxes should be roughly $15 plus about 9.x% tax on the sale price...

I've read several threads here of people asking about why their Tesla data don't reconcile/agree with their PG&E data. I have the same question, and none of the other threads really seemed to apply to my situation. I have a 8.6kW Tesla system with 2x powerwalls. I typically see peak...

Just curious if anyone knows what changes were made to the last few iterations of the "long range" to extend it's rated range from 373, to 402, and now to 405 miles? I know (or I'm pretty sure anyway) that the 373mi range example was the debut of the Raven drive train with the model 3's PMSR...

I've had my Tesla solar system for almost 2 years now. PTO was in December 2020, install completed in October 2020. I intentionally left a couple of high power items off of the battery back up panel, and kept them on the original house panel, e.g. the AC and oven. I figured we could do...

Has Tesla ever allowed/sold a battery upgrade to anyone who's battery was not actually "malfunctioning"? Like say a S60 or S75 owner upgrading to a 90kWh or 100kWh battery, just because they wanted to? Just wondering if this is even a possibility, and what the cost would potentially be.

I have a 2017 Model S 75, it has the headlights that sorta shine to the side when you steer around corners. They started to fade under warranty and Tesla replaced them (a few months ago). When I got the car back, the new headlights were pointed very low, like almost straight down it seemed...

This could apply to Model X owners too, but I couldn't find an appropriate forum to discuss MCU common to both S & X... I recently brought my model S to the service center for various reasons, one of which is that my MCU1 keeps acting up: occasional reboots, sluggishness, poor voice recognition...

My car is a Sept 2017 build S75. Pretty high mileage - I'm at 94,000 now. About 500mi ago the brake squeeler indicators started making noise. I have an appointment to have brakes done at Tesla SC for 10 days from now. I must say I'm pretty disappointed. I've had the car on max regen since...

I could have sworn that I read sometime last year or so, that the app got updated with the ability to initiate preconditioning of the car&battery via the app. I have yet to see this functionality. Was it ever rolled out for anyone?

I don't see a forum that's appropriate to post topics about supercharging, which is a topic common to all tesla vehicles, not just one vehicle type. Maybe we could have a forum for questions that are common to all vehicles (not just supercharging?) Then again, there's a forum for autopilot...

Got in a fender bender today. Gonna need a bit of body work done. Has anyone had good experiences with any Tesla approved body shops in the south bay area? I live in Saratoga, work in Mt. View & Santa Clara. Anyone good in SJ, Cupertino, Sunnyvale, Palo Alto, Los Altos, Santa Clara, Los...

I live in the SF bay area of CA, so not particularly cold at night (dips to low 30's F sometimes). Typical overnight winter temps are around 40F. And yet, every morning when I start driving my late-2017 S75, I get a little yellow warning triangle on the dashboard near the power meter, and the...

We finally made the jump and ordered an inventory S75 Friday, just in time for the 0.99% financing. The car has been sitting at Fremont for at least a couple weeks, and will (hopefully) get delivered to our home this evening. While it's kind of nice to have it delivered directly to our home...

I thought I'd share my cost of ownership comparison calculator here. I know there are several out there, and in fact this one is based off of one I found here about a year ago. I'm sure it's not perfect, but I think it's pretty good for comparing an ICE to a Tesla S. Copy it, play with it, let...

I've seen this option listed on several CPOs of various battery sizes.... "range upgrade" what does this mean/refer to? Was there a point where Tesla was able to increase the range of a given battery just via software or something? Thanks... Edit: another question about options... how can a car...

Can a 2nd owner buy an ESA (aka extended warranty)? Or does the original owner have to buy it and transfer it? I thought it was the latter, but upon reading the Tesla FAQ, nothing says it has to be the first/original owner; it just says this: "Owners (excluding 3rd party dealers and vehicles...

Does anyone know what it currently costs to enable AP1 on a used 2015 car on which the previous owner chose not to have AP1 software installed? The car has the hardware (obviously - 2015); it needs the software update to enable the functionality. I'm trying to use this cost to negotiate, as I...

I'm looking for a Model S with AP1, Pano roof, and the rear-facing kids seats. Battery size not important. AWD/dual motor a HUGE plus, but not required. Mileage not too important so long as maintenance has been kept up & records available. All other options not important. Max price is $60k. I...
