    Use your iPhone to estimate your 0-60 time.

    It's easy to analyze you iPhone video on your Mac using QuickTime or Preview. Take a passenger's handheld vid of the speedometer. Then share on Notes or email to yourself and open with preview on your Mac. Here's my video showing how:

    I tried "Launch Mode" for the first time today.

    Has anyone ever noticed any loss of function after abusing a Tesla with multiple Launch Modes? My service guy states: "The motors are so relatively cheap and easy to buy and replace that we may have some significantly better ones by the time you would ever need one. It doesn't matter how many...

    I tried "Launch Mode" for the first time today.

    I enjoyed sharing "Launch Mode" and did so on a slightly uphill, very lonely, very straight entrance ramp with 700 lb of Pax (my 160 lb included) in my P100 Model X We videoed the Speedo and it looks like we did 0-60 in 3.9 sec, then continued to 100 mph (I swear by accident!) and slowed to 80...

    Tesla offering insurance next month

    My judgment and experience with my X is that Tesla's are so expensive to repair that the rates will continue to grow to the point that they are more expensive per mile than ICE cars. Musk will have to re design so that the car can be cheaply repaired. Like sensor units easily replaced without...

    How hard is to replace HPWC with Nema 14-50?

    DCGOO said: ↑ Correct. There is no issue with any UMC. But the early HPWC will not work with new MCU vehicles. Tesla will replace your old HPWC with a new style WC for free. But you have to pay for installation (or do it yourself, which is not that difficult). The only problem with this, is...

    How hard is to replace HPWC with Nema 14-50?

    I simply had my electritian install both at once. The HPWC charges at 48 amps and the NEMA 14-50 at 40 amps using the same wires. I have not tried using both at once but assume that would throw my breaker.

    Out of curiosity, what do you hate about your Tesla?

    Hello "LastToy", thanks for the information on reducing sound. BUT the question was from an X owner. Was your experience for an S or an X?.

    Totalled my S today....so I confirmed my Model 3 First Production order

    No willingness admit people make mistakes? Had they died, then no chance for that person to have frequent nightmares and remorse and chances to amend the behavior that lead to the accident. No chance to mentor others in the future to avoid the same mistake.

    Totalled my S today....so I confirmed my Model 3 First Production order

    QUESTION 2: Were you on auto steer? I'll admit I tend to not watch as closely as I should when I use it on a divided highway. Hopefully I would have seen this guy coming on a 2-Lane road!! But Maybe not!! Thanks for the reminder.

    Totalled my S today....so I confirmed my Model 3 First Production order

    QUESTION: Did your S send out an audible alert, or brake or swerve on it's own? Did you have the Collision warning on and set to what sensitivity?

    I visited the site yesterday. I talked with a worker from the contractor and he said the supercharger should be open in two weeks. I noted that five of the slots have signs that state "tesla charging only" three have the standard "OK to park for 30 minutes". So, at least I will be able to...

    Supercharger - Sioux Falls, SD

    ICE stands for internal combustion engine. A Tesla parking slot is "iced" when a ICE car is parked so that a Tesla cannot charge. I am happy when a tesla charging station is at the very distant edge of a parking lot where people with "normal" cars don't want to park. These tesla slats are...

    What the heck is the deal with this aspect of the Falcon Doors?

    Same thing happened to me. One partial solution is to go to controls and set "Full open at this location". This usually works in my garage.
