Same here. Latest update wiped all my settings. The trip meters and kWh usage too - too bad not the odometer itself... That NEVER happened before (in over 4 years). Something new to get used to I guess...

Lost my settings this morning after the latest update. Also, the local (Crescent City) supercharger conked out completely during charging. 3 cars were there. Luckily I had enough charge to get home, but the others were probably long-distance travelers... Not a good Tesla day...

No worries, if their reputation gets bad enough - they'll just start advertising! That's how big corporations are. The customers are just milk cows. No one asks milk cows if they're satisfied. Until things change (and they won't) I will simply go back to the used car market when the time comes...

With me it depends on which issues we are talking about. So I ticked 2 boxes. One thing is for sure - I won't be an early adopter again. I have a wait and see attitude now (it could have been different Tesla!) I am happy to be into my first EV though! And I thank Tesla for that! The next EV is...

Damn, you got the triple whammy! - 1) Lemmon car. 2) Bad service. 3) Corporate bureaucratic carelessness. (Most of us get #3 at least.) Sorry to hear it man... Give 'em hell! They deserve it.

That's life. For customers - When you're a baby it's all oohs, ahhs, and plenty of attention. When you're old you get kicked to the curb. For companies - When you're starting it's kiss-butt time. When you're established it's kick-*sugar* time. Maybe I'm overgeneralizing... I too am no fan of...

Wyoming seems good to me, from what little I know... I like it because of its progressive Bitcoin legislation. :) I bet they would offer Tesla a hell of a deal - and support it afterwards too.

I have no doubt that they want "to bring a factory there" - local politicians in particular. My concern is what they will do once it's built, once Tesla is "captured" there. Will they continue to support it, or will they start to milk it (through various types of bureaucratic bullying) for...

Great that Texas has so many orders! But - for the factory itself, there need to be EV-friendly laws and politicians - or the factory will be bullied by oily interests. Lobbyists and politicians make the laws, not the people ordering EVs. (Btw. Trump is considering bailing out the oil industry...

Good. Texas has the wrong culture for an EV factory.

Thanks for resisting. I was embarrassed enough when I noticed it all by myself. o_O :D

:oops: Correction - to OP and original tweet: "C'mon uncommon Elon..." etc. :oops: (I fixed it on Twitter too, but I'm sure nobody read it anyway, least of all Elon himself.) I think we can all agree - Elon is not "common". :D

Another random thought - it could be a luxury robotaxi. The 2 rear seats could recline and the legs can stretch out over the side battery boxes. (add massage, heat, and more luxury stuff between the rear seats, champagne anyone? etc.)... Common Tesla, you have more imagination that me - make...

I don't. All of it is pie in the sky until there is production. But that Pikes Peak car is pretty impressive. It also kicked butt on the Nürburgring. I still think Tesla needs to get into some sort of racing... (especially with its current market cap.)

Might be worth waiting further - to see the competition... Volkswagen Is Planning Some Spicy Electric Cars Based On The MEB Chassis | CleanTechnica

Sure would be nice to have a Plaid 3 and Cybertruck for less than the price of a Roadster! For me at least, the center seat (3-seater) would be the most attractive part, but I can go with a 4-seater too.

This is not so great in my opinion... But food for thought anyway... - And if you robotaxi it - only the rear buckets would be available for rent. - Driver's seat is off limits, It can only be driven in plaid by you! Photo attribution - McLaren F1 GT Interior

Sit on the battery box, then swing your legs over? I'll leave it to Franz and crew to design something elegant. Some cool handholds, etc. I figure the extra layer of batteries won't be too high...

I just tweeted this at Elon for the heck of it - Common Elon - Give us a plaid-3 ! - Center seat, bats. on both sides, 2 buckets in back, more bats. in center, motors of your choice. The rest can stay as is... Who needs a Roadster when a Plaid 3 could do the trick on the cheap (relatively) ?

242 avg for 12,000 miles. I keep the aeros on. I keep the tire pressure high. I coast in neutral a lot. (I've done that with every car but this one coasts exceptionally well!) I keep it in sport, and do punch it sometimes (not very often). I live in a mild climate (Oregon coast), and keep AP at...

Thanks for your vote of confidence. I don't know what I deserve or not. It's my first new car. I do know - that if I were them, I'd give me one! :D

Good to know! My Service Center is Portland, OR.

6 hrs drive one way, 6 hrs drive back, same day. That's my only option. Same thing again when the car is ready...

I live 6 hrs drive away from the service center. Just scheduled my first service. They better provide a decent way for me to get back home!

Well described. Same happened to me today. First time. Dewy conditions, clear, no snow, high 30's. The windshield was clear, just the camera housing was fogged up like bad swim goggles. My B-pillar camera, drivers side, also. Passenger side was good. Hope it "fixes itself"...

Worth a try for sure, might look nice. I did considered it, but my trial and error process ended with the version you see. I still like it today, after many months of looking at it.

Oh, that bugs me too! I had similar plans. More sugar gifted to the newbs...

I agree. That's partly why I started this thread: Tesla "Sportster" on Model 3 Platform

The stealthier the better! But I'm afraid our Model will become a base, and commonplace - and lose its stealthiness. We'll see...

For sure. The rebate effectively went to Tesla because they priced-up when it was available. Valuable lesson learned. I think I've got one more Tesla in me, about 20 years of driving time left. So I hope they get that damned Roadster started so I can buy a used one (or maybe one that's at least...

So I paid over $20K more last year for the exact same thing I could get now - a base Performance 3? How's that for the new name - Base Performance 3, Performance 3 Base ? Oh well, at least I have that discontinued silvery silver color - but I bet they bring that back too - for free...

I guess that Formula 1 champ is just a bad driver then... Check the vid.

Not bad actually. The Model 3 can serve as a platform for many things. :cool:

I don't know about your P3, but mine's already a Porsche-killer. I few tweaks of the motors (maybe just a software unleash), some body lightning, and it'll kill that new Vette too. That's the challenge - they can do it! (Electric is simply superior.) Btw. - So you think being a newb on TMC...

Yeah, turning a sports car into truck is only good for a funny one-off toy. Elon seemed to like it though. But turning a sports car into a real sports car - a Corvette-beater - would be great. If you think sedan-clothing fits it best, well, be happy.

Yes, I feel my little sedan is a sports car - but it needs to go sub-3, like the Corvette! Should be fun and easy to do with a few tweaks. Franz can do it!

Good to see you, I haven't been on the forum for a long time. Yes, the P3 in a new body would make a great affordable sports car. And Franz von Holzhausen could probably use a nice new project about now.

The reason I'm posting this is because I think the new mid-ICE Corvette will be a huge success - but should have been electric! Tesla could steal their thunder, show them how it's done, using the existing Model 3P platform. Could be big... I do love my P3 as a sedan - but as a sub-3 sec 0-60...

How about taking the Performance Model 3 platform and creating a two-seater (with focus on the driver's cockpit!) to compete with (and kill) the new Corvette in performance and price?! Come on Elon - you can do it!

Tesla insurance? Until I know exact details, color me sceptical. Could this be something cooked up by Tesla lawyers to cover Tesla's butt against perceived future liability risk? "What? You didn't buy our special insurance? So sorry, you are so SOL." :p And expect sudden arbitrary price...

I was afraid of that, but I did a search of the term "robotaxi" and didn't see any others, so I started the pole... Oh well... Can you link to the others?

Maybe. Only if the steering wheel is removed and customers can only sit in the back. :)

I provided the credit card customer service with my correspondence to Tesla and Tesla's "policy statements" about the refund. Just some copies and screenshots. I told them "Tesla might refund me any day, but I want to get this started just in case they don't". They completely agreed. This is as...

OK, as of today my "provisional credit" is now permanent. The card company sided with me (as they should). Apparently Tesla had 10 days to dispute my chargeback. Surprise, surprise, they were unresponsive. So they got dinged chargeback fees (not sure how much, maybe $100 ?) Anyhow, if they are...

Same here. I want my "Beware, Student A.I." sticker - and my "A.I. Instructor" certificate. :)

Cool. Glad to see the "Student A.I." is already better than the experienced human driver - in some important ways!

Yeah, mine does stuff like that too. Whenever it perceives a lane split it gets confused and often takes the left lane (the inside "fast lane" or, as in this case, the oncoming traffic lane). :eek: It should default to the safer "slow lane" on the right - but then it might take some wrong exits...

Tot I'd say the TeslaCam/Sentry Mode is about as "ready for prime time" as their fantastic LTE browser - not! Sorry Tesla, gotta call 'em as I see 'em...:( Hope your much-anticipated FSD turns out better than this stuff... o_O

Totally random hit or miss whether on sentry mode of driving - corrupted unreadable files, good files, pixelated images, green bands, etc. I get it all. :) Seems like the forward facing vids are slightly more reliable than the side ones, but not much. - Not ready for prime time...
