    Unhappy with FSD sales and pricing

    Questions: 1) Does the car act differently after the hardware upgrade? 2) Can one assume that an FSD purchase at any price (mine now $5k) will include a HW upgrade? 3) Did you have to nag them to get HW upgrade or was it automatic. I just cleared 5 figures on Tesla stock, thinking of getting FSD.

    FSD Beta Videos (and questions for FSD Beta drivers)

    I don't have FSD, but the TACC stomps on the brake randomly so much that I don't really trust it too much anymore. Have you seen any of that with the HW3.0, and the beta FSD?

    Blog Public Beta for Starlink Internet Service Coming Soon

    We could seriously use this at my work. We have a preschool in Los Altos, CA, 37.4 Lat. Copper here is unusable for internet most times, and unusable for phones when it rains. No access to cable. I was able through a crazy twist of fate to get fiber. $476/mo for 10mb.

    If you fast charge, Tesla will permanently throttle charging

    I wonder if it is permanent though. Could it be SC vs not SC as a percentage? Once you hit say 50% it starts to slow down. Maybe more non-SC charges could drop you below that threshold.

    Windshield Replacement Experiences

    Update: I faxes invoice for windshield. Two business days later, State Farm transfered $670 into my bank account. This is the $1170 cost to repair windshield, minus my $500 deductable.

    Windshield Replacement Experiences

    Update: TLDR: I am leaving State Farm as soon as I get whatever piddly check they send me. I had the work done at Tesla. It went fantastic. Very communicative. They fixed some outstanding bulletins as well. Looks fantastic. My baby is back to healthy again. State farm's customer service...

    MASTER THREAD: USB drives that work with Sentry and TeslaCam

    Guess I'll throw in my 2 cents. I used this Sandisk for the longest time. (I have a mac) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EZ0X55C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It seemed to work fine, caught a cougar on video that ran across the road. But then it showed an error, It was...

    Windshield Replacement Experiences

    2018 Model 3, rock to the lower right windshield, crack developed over a few days to about 15 inches long. State Farm insurance. Called insurance, they recommended a whole list of replacement companies. The first one sounded like Joe's Payless Auto Glass. I was not about to trust my baby to...

    Pre-FSD FSD

    Just got an email to buy FSD at $3k. Does this guarantee me a 3.0 hardware upgrade at some point?

    Tesla has stopped making "cars"?

    Top two news stories on one of my local TV stations this week... verbatim: #1) Car cut in half after a violent crash in San Francisco Bayview district overnight. #2) San Francisco MTA holding open house on how to make Taylor street safer after Sunday’s crash that left a pedestrian dead and...

    Pre-FSD FSD

    Has there been any commitments on what features might be delivered to FSD customers before the actual full self driving? I recall reading that enhanced summon would come not only to FSD owners, but also EAP owners. So do we know, if I buy FSD, are there features coming before full self driving...

    16.2 Near Collision w/ Auto Lane Change

    Until it stops trying to lane change in heavy traffic, I can't see me ever enabling auto-lane change. I just have to keep tapping on that cancel button most of the time on NoA.

    Q1 Finances

    Oh I'm long alright. My average is more than $200. I expect to sell my shares in about 20 years for the same price... after about 10 splits. Let's call it long term care insurance.

    Q1 Finances

    Just read the article about a prediction of Tesla dropping to $100 and being aquired by a tech company. Normally I ignore this crap. It's hard reading Tesla news, you need to sort through the BS from short sellers. Try to sniff out those that are trying to help them. I can't remember a...

    Largest concern about buying a model 3

    Yeah the interesting thing I saw looking at CR ratings, is that all Tesla cars have a "Predicted Owner Satisfaction" of 5 out of 5. Does this mean that even while some cars have issues, the owners still love them?

    Largest concern about buying a model 3

    Hi Pkeet99 Adding in my two cents. We drove a 2015 e-Golf for 3-years waiting for the Model 3. If you haven't driven an EV for very long, you will be shockingly amazed by one. At least this one. Simply put, EVs are magic. They are the future. So my prediction: if you're not a previous EV...

    Tesla Referral Program

    I lucked out. I hope. I am not certain, but when I got my M3 in July I could have sworn the HPWC/Radio Flyer was the award for 1 referral. I got a referral that was delivered in August. I went to claim my reward, and now it said a picture, needed 2 for HPWC/Radio Flyer. Then I got the email...

    When did AP gain your trust?

    I trust TACC to keep the car from hitting the one in front of me. Although it still does strange emergency breaking when there is nothing around. It must be glare or shadow or something like that. It also seems recently to jam on the breaks when I drive past an onramp and it senses a car...

    Landlord won't let me charge, says I need a permit for the 125v portable charger?

    Landlord won't let me charge, says I need a permit for the 125v portable charger?

    I would be concerned (and your landlord probably is) about 2 things: 1) Can the circuit handle the load 2) Will the landlord be liable if something happens. I would hire an home inspector to inspect the outlet to ensure it was installed to code, and if there are other outlets/equipment on the...

    Tesla Q1 Earnings Call: Flufferbot, Model Y, and the ‘Best-Selling’ Model 3

    This is always a conflict I think at companies. Do you make commitments you know you can meet with almost 100% certanty, knowing that you will get hammered immediately for them being so poor? (but praised when you beat them) Or do you make a commiment that you know everything will have to go...
