She loves the semi-automatic front doors and the rear gull-wing doors of the X. Plus its nicer fit and finish compared to her early Model 3 (2018). And all the storage space for her work stuff. So easy to get to in the back with the gull-wing door up. Provides very nice access. Regarding...

Jumping in to say that we took advantage of the current promotion and transferred the lifetime free unlimited supercharging and full self driving from our 2017 Model S to a new 2024 Model X. The new car is my wife’s daily driver and she hates the lack of turn signal stalks, etc. But she is...

Hey all - resurrecting this thread to ask if anybody has experience with the availability and reliable functionality of the new banks of charging stations installed in their parking garages. Garage 1 now has 94 units on Level 3, and Garage 2 has 56 of the same. All 240 volt. These will...

Would be useful to have. Will investigate. But this brings up a second question - now that other car manufacturers are going to switch to the Tesla charging standard, how quickly will they switch over their charger stands? Regardless, for $450 to have the flexibility is an easy choice.

We so wish that our Tesla’s could use that CCS charger in Elkins. Apparently neither have the right charging innards. Would be perfect for our trips to Snowshoe.

Also, perhaps you all know this, but just in case… “chill” mode and low regen are your friends in winter driving conditions. Both reduce the risk of losing traction. You can set up a driving profile for yourself with these settings selected to make it easy.

I’ve left all-seasons on my AWD S for the last six years and have done okay. Will occasionally slide a little but never ended up in a ditch. But I should share that we do swap snow tires onto my wife’s model 3 which we use to drive to Snowshoe for ski weekends.

I'll provide a counter message and say that in most circumstances, it really doesn't matter, particularly if the off-brand comes with the NACS connector tip. Background - we have two Tesla wall connectors and one off brand installed in our garage. The latter was for our original Chevy Volt...

That's a substantial difference. I would hold it back and sell it privately.

For me it's about the resale value once FSD is level 5 good. Our cars with attached FSD will be worth big dollars on the open market as robotaxis. Need to preserve the option to sell. <<ducks all the rotten tomatoes thrown by naysayers on the notion that FSD will ever amount to anything>>

Agree - this is the deal breaker for me. I will not be upgrading.

Hmmm... I've got a 2017 Model S with FSD via hardware 2.5. I paid $3k for the FSD back in the day. This is an opportunity to buy new and pull that investment off of the old hardware into a car with new. A $15k savings. Everybody teach me, which cars have FSD version 4? I may pull the...

Well, this is a bit late, but I threw your question to ChatGPT. Below is its response. Not bad. Hello! Here are a few steps you may want to consider when selling a Tesla in the UK: Firstly, ensure that all outstanding finance on the car has been paid off. This will involve contacting the...

Haha - yes, I think you will be able to squeeze by. But if a firing range is called for, you can be sure they won't miss. This is Mountaineer country. Multi-year NCAA rifle champs. ;-)

I swung by again today to answer Cuttin’s question. Although it’s not open yet, it looks well on its way to completion. What’s more, the Tesla charging pedestals are lit up, which I am presuming means that they are on and ready to go. Perhaps one of the supercharger gurus can confirm. The...

I bought FSD on my S for an additional $3k in 2017. Was sure that my car would be autonomous by 2020. Haha. Hasn’t happened, of course, but I do enjoy fooling around with it. I use it for roughly 25-50% of my daily commute. I bail out when others are following because it is likely to do...

Any word on an opening date?

WVhybrid - I'm late to the party here, but count me in for a future event in North WV.

I swung by the site today to check to see if it was really down and sure enough, there’s no getting in, and the charging hardware is completely blocked by construction material. The Sheetz building is leveled and gone. Starting fresh. Pic below, but the angle doesn’t do it justice. Tesla’s...

Extra bad timing - ski season is coming up and will increase traffic headed towards Timberline/Canaan/Snowshoe. Hopefully Tesla will add temporary chargers nearby.

Returning to report for posterity that the wind noise returned with a vengeance, so when my AC broke and needed repaired I asked the service center to investigate and fix the seal. They did so - $39 part and $157 labor which included driving it on the highway to evaluate and then confirm...

Wexford staff told my wife that it will be open in November. But these pics don't make me optimistic.

I used the mouldable glue and thought it looked perfect but unfortunately it made the wind noise twice as loud. So I stripped it out after a couple of days and lo and behold, the noise is resolved. Quiet luxury. I suspect this is temporary but fingers crossed. Will try the window adjustment...

I've not. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for sharing. I've got this exact same problem in my 2017 S. Will give it a try.

Good to see. Thanks for posting.

Yes, am hoping that my tame work commute brings me back up into the "A student" range. Would be fun to have something new (FSD) to play with.

It's an Aug 2017 build Model S. Upgraded to MCU 2. And FSD computer.

Here is my answer… I’m still in the running. My “forced autopilot disengagement” cost me some points but doesn’t appear fatal:

Don't be like me everybody. After pushing the button to enter my 7 days of driver safety monitoring, I went out on errands and while daydreaming on the interstate got the dreaded "Autosteer is disabled for the rest of this trip" flash warning. Ooops. I'm probably blackballed for FSD beta...

I’m in

Mrs. Country Roads shot some pics for us today. Looks pretty close to being functional.

Agree with the surprise at the location as it is very close to the other site. Excited to have the V3 to test out. I wonder if Sheetz it the primary driver here - a good business model for sales of food. Also good for younger graduate student owners who live in apartments and need a place to...

Yes. Welcome to the club.

I can't find the "Most Liked" and "Most Informative" lists. I always went directly to these and read the last 24 hours or 1 week. Am I just missing them, or are they not built yet? I'm a big fan of these. Would be sad if permanently gone.

Yes - I'm thinking about it. I may put my S out on the town, but only day-shift weekdays so I don't have to clean up vomit. Or at least clean up less often. If it works out well from a financial standpoint, then maybe go bigger and put it out longer and buy an older pre-autopilot S as my...

Hybridbear & Appleguru - yes, can confirm that I've got it. I just didn't know. They key is to hit that little caret symbol. Thanks.

Correct. I do not. Never wondered about it, honestly.

My take is that the price drop is due to the NHTSA safety recall. It saves Tesla money if they can convince more owners to pay for a $1500 MCU2 upgrade, rather than get the MCU1 fix for free. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they drop the price again if they see the demand isn't...

I had read about some sound quality troubles, but honestly forgot about it as an issue. My wife and I took the car on a 6 hour road trip over the weekend and streamed music the whole time and it was good. No issues for us, but we're normal and not crazy audiophiles. Or maybe the sound system...

I don't need FM, and my backup camera is fine:

I took the plunge and upgraded from MCU1 to MCU2. The screen is much sharper and faster. I can dictate voice commands. Web browser is actually functional. Am very happy. Would do again.

My guess is the constrained supply is from coronavirus-related factory shut downs in the Spring. So hopefully should improve soon.

CHL is referring to people like me - started with HW2, upgraded to HW3 for FSD, and now want MCU2. I've requested the Infotainment upgrade via the app every month since late June. No luck.

To be clear, my wife was driving us to a ski resort in the mountains on a two lane twisty road. Lots of acceleration out of turns and deceleration going into. She was having a ball. I was trying to read twitter on my phone. Got nauseous. One time I looked over and she had hit 96 mph when...

My wife sold her 2018 LR RWD 3 and bought a 2018 stealth performance and she loves it. However, she just drove me out of town for the weekend and the car made me nauseous with its rapid acceleration/deceleration cycles. I finally had to ask her to put it in chill mode and set the regenerative...

The Nikola app still seems functional. At least as of 6pm eastern.

I leave all season tires on my AWD Model S and it does fine in the winter. We swap my wife's RWD 3 to winter treads though for extra traction. We use either for going skiing. Both do well. So I would go with one set of all seasons for your set up.

Confirming four chargers operational. Pic from today. (with our new 2018 P3D - woot!)
