    Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

    That's not actually true. I suppose I just don't understand both how your discovery can be a safety issue and and that you are willing to stay quiet about it. Maybe you aren't certain it is a safety issue. But the best way to diminish FUD is with facts. Isn't it?

    Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

    Is the issue that consumers do not have Whistleblower protection? I'm trying to understand how lawsuit threats to keep @wk057 quiet on a safety issue are legal.

    Chicago to Southern California Advice?

    Hi all, I'm about to drive from Chicago to Southern California (to stay in a house with a pool and isolate there). Before anyone passes judgment: we've already had Covid in March and were lucky with mild cases. Anyone have any advice on chargers to avoid or better places to make pit stops...

    Family of 5: 6 Seats or 7 Seats

    Hi. Also a family of 5 and we have had a 6-seater X for over 3.5 years. It is fantastic for family travel, and I wouldn't trade the set-up for anything else. No one complains about where they sit even on 2000m+ road trips. They complain about other things, sure, since two of them are teens and...

    Elon: "Feature complete for full self driving this year"

    That's fascinating. I've looked really hard, and I haven't seen it. Nor have I had "what should be" a turn arrow light switch green when the arrow goes green. Shrug.

    Tesla banned me from purchasing another Tesla after vehicle buyback

    OP: unfortunate but completely predictable. When Tesla offered to buy back my original X for WAY over market value and told me to order a new one, I was very concerned that the order would be cancelled. I made sure that I had it stated in writing that I was not going to be banned from ordering...

    It's weird because the video they released for that announcement seemed really good, but they haven't released that firmware yet for some reason.

    Family w 3 kids - Choose X or wait for Y?

    Your kids are going to stop wanting to sit next to each other. When the oldest is jammed between two car seat, there will be trouble. I've a family of 5, and the 6 seat X is like the best minivan ever.

    Tesla may have been on Autopilot in California crash which killed two

    You might want to go for another ride with NOA taking an exit for you. NOA disengages, but "cruise" stays on. So - if you are not paying attention - your car will keep driving until either a car stops in front of it or it hits something. Yes, it is the drivers fault, but this has always seemed...

    Navigate on Autopilot is Useless (2018.42.3)

    Pretty sure @scottf200 wasn't saying you were negative. Rather he was highlighting your post to help the Brothers of the Cruciform Sword understand that the logging is ongoing and detailed, setting up info to be compared to "later" (as you pointed out) when the driver does get updates. It's all...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Good grief. I really hope that email is fake or that it has been brutalized by someone retyping it (who maybe doesn't know English well and/or doesn't have spellcheck). Not to be a prude, but that's not an acceptably, professionally written release.

    What will happen within the next 6 1/2 weeks?

    I believe a more accurate way to write this is that you are contrasting your hope with their fear. You are most certainly not contrasting your knowledge with their fear. Indeed, if anything, you are contrasting your hopes with their experiences.

    I apologize for butting in, but I have a thought to perhaps help with increasing diagnoses. Also I apologize if this has been done. It might be helpful if owners of the cables and other stuff (who are willing to help others diagnose) could list their id's and general region, so that less...

    Tesla Model X Raven noise that all potential buyer should know about before buying it!

    If my Raven X has this noise, I wouldn't be able to hear it over all of the rattles that my X makes. That said, in addition to the rattles (which hopefully they will fix this week -- not holding my breath), I do have the pitch whine that others have noticed.

    Tesla now using deep neural net for auto wipers (2019.40)

    Wtf: X drivers and poor SC ettiquette.

    Unfortunately, there is no supercharger to the other side of where that guy was parked. Nor were any other cars parked out on the edges of the lot -- since it was negative windchills and the SC's are far away from the structure. And it was late on a weekday night. Thank you for your...

    Wtf: X drivers and poor SC ettiquette.

    The lady in Rochester was even sitting in her X. I asked her if she was parked like that because one of the chargers wasn’t working. I was being charitable. She said she didn’t know and that she “had no idea she was blocking a charger.” She was straight up parked at an angle, butt in one stall/...

    Wtf: X drivers and poor SC ettiquette.

    Driving home from Minneapolis to Chicago. At both Rochester and Madison East (the one with 3 chargers), an X driver parked over the lines, making a charger inaccessible. Luckily at the Madison SC, the driver of an S that was charging was in his car. He saw that we couldn’t get in and he moved...

    Chicago superchargers all inside parking garages?

    The Normal SC's are in such an awful location. Springfield seems early on that trek, for sure, but the location is a million times better and is by a fairly decent microbrewery/restaurant that serves horseshoes and breaded tenderloin sammies. THUMBS UP.

    MASTER THREAD: all Smart Summon-related posts go here

    Oh man, I finally tried smart summon on my Raven X. I was in an empty bank parking lot and it was a complete fail. My car backed out. Yay! Started going in the right direction. Yay! And then turned toward the planter and I had to stop it before it ran into it. Good grief.

    Does NEMA 14-50 Adapter No Longer Come with Car?

    Why can we trust the electricians who install the HPWC but not the ones who install 14-50 outlets? Is it extra training? Stock holdings?

    Model X Replacement for Mercedes-Benz GL550

    You're welcome. In case I wasn't clear, I think the 6 seat X is perfect for my three kids and they don't mind sitting in the third row. Road trips are a blast (but we sure do fill up the back and frunk with our stuffs). One kid gets the way back and the other two ride in the middle two seats. No...

    Model X Replacement for Mercedes-Benz GL550

    The biggest difference that comes to mind for me - in terms of sacrifice in going to X from gl550 - is that the third row in the Mercedes is vastly roomier, nicer, and less claustrophobic, and there is much more storage space potential. We have a six seat X because we don't really need a 7th...

    Thinking of cancelling Model X order after reading negative customer service reviews???

    One thing to watch out getting advice here is that a significant number of posters own Tesla stock and are very unlikely to discourage anyone from buying one. Simultaneously they deride people with bad experiences as shorts in TSLA. No doubt there are histrionics from posters who have very bad...

    Tesla autopilot HW3

    Other than the fact that 1) if you purchased FSD at order time of a HW2 vehicle you've waited longer and 2) that there are significant differences in the upgrade ease for HW2 and HW2.5, your rhetorical question is a pretty solid argument that "if time didn't exist and if different things were...

    Thinking of cancelling Model X order after reading negative customer service reviews???

    Want to add a pretty important thing: Model X is still the only electric car in which we can easily road trip and the only electric car in which my three kids can sit far enough apart so that we can road trip without a murder. Everything I see negative about the car is fixable by such examples...

    Thinking of cancelling Model X order after reading negative customer service reviews???

    Service and quality are gambles. I don't proclaim to know the specific odds, but they are not slim. Picked up my replacement new X yesterday. If I look for problems, I can see them. But I'm not really uptight about panel alignment unless it means rain gets in my car. Some upholstery is sketchy...
