Just installed 2024.2.12 with the new vision-only Autopark. I have to say, I'm impressed with its ability to back into any spot I attempted. Centered perfectly every time even if it's a bit slow, although much faster than the old ultra-sonic sensor Autopark. Some obersevations: - backed into...

Given the likelihood of Tesla opening up Superchargers to other brands in the US at some point, why are they still deploying so many with the pedestals parallel to the rear curb? It seems that almost all new European stalls are pull-through design, which makes it easier for other brands to...

I recently had some body work done on my M3 due to an accident. I noticed the other day there is a fine mist of something on the windshield, which is very noticeable when the sun shines though at a low angle. The glare is pretty bad. It's like there are tiny dots all over the place. You...

Here we go again. Totally one-sided reporting about Tesla getting run into a niche company by established automakers. I personally loved the example of poor design based on one guy not able to install his car seat in the Model 3. There is no questioning parts availability needs improving, but...

This is now available on the Tesla website. I wonder how it compares to the Nomad. Model 3 Wireless Phone Charger

I hope they can figure out what caused this one. Taking a nap in the vehicle during Supercharging may not be a great idea. Tesla vehicle caught on fire while plugged in at Supercharger station - Electrek

I got rear-ended the other day at a stop sign. :mad: The crappy part is he hit the corner and wrecked the rear quarter panel in addition to the bumper. Anybody on this forum have any experience with fixing this type of damage? It looks to me like the quarter panel is welded to all kinds of...

For those of you across the Atlantic, how do like your vehicle? How does it handle on European roads? Was the fit and finish acceptable?

Tesla leaks new self-driving Autopilot hardware 3.0 computer diagram ahead of launch Looks like the retrofit may be more than just a new computer given there is a secondary radar input for HW 3.0

Apparently, Tesla will use 3 rear cameras to detect fast moving, approaching vehicles in the future. I wonder what this means for the FSD I already purchased. “A company spokesperson told CR that these future versions will use three rear-facing cameras that can detect fast-approaching objects...

Today was the final electrical inspection for my garage renovation project that included the addition of two Wall Connectors sharing a single 50A/240V circuit. It was obvious the inspector was not educated in the ways of the EV when he started asking questions about having two chargers on a...

The Tesla Model 3 configurator no longer has an option for FSD. What gives?

The rotor in a switched reluctance motor is just a piece of metal with no magnets so it doesn't produce current during regen like a traditional PM motor does. There is no rotating magnetic field. Rumor has it that the PMs in the Model 3 motor are imbedded in the stator between the poles...

I am scheduled for delivery at the Rockville, MD service center on Wednesday. Reading about all the delivery horror stories on this forum has made me a little concerned. Is my VIN: 309xx-car going to have: the wrong shade of white painted on the bumpers, a sunken hood, poorly aligned body...

I was just playing around with the model 3 configurator and noticed the price for Pearl White and Red is now $2000. That's $500 more than yesterday and $1000 more than in June. What is going on? Did they add gold flakes to the paint?

I just bought Belden B8760 cable for the data link between my two HPWCs. It is 18AWG, shielded, twister-pair, 2 conductor, 300V. I just noticed the Tesla manual states 600V cable is required. I can’t imagine anything in the HPWC is running higher than 300V. Does anybody know if I can safely use...

I had a VIN number (~31000) assigned a week ago with a delivery set for the Rockville, MD SC tomorrow. Received a call yesterday stating my pearl white, RWD, 18" Aero Model 3 had not arrived yet so they wanted to push delivery out 1-week. The new delivery date is Aug 8th. I also asked where...

Has anybody tried these lightning port extenders in the Model 3? It appears they may make it easier to connect iPhones in cases to the Tesla provided charge cable. Cellularize Lightning Port Extender...

The Maryland MVA website states the Maryland EV tax credit is "subject to the availability of funding". Changing my order from AWD to RWD (mainly due to better range) has brought my cost below the Maryland limit of $60k. Does anybody know what the status of the EV credit funding is? Has...

The latest review: 2018 Design of the Year: Tesla Model 3 | Automobile Magazine Heads up display?? "Ultimately, none of this has anything to do with the virtues of this BMW 3 Series-sized car. It has a longer wheelbase, more perceived cabin volume, and a better, flatter, and more comfortable...
