    We Are Now Down To 2...

    ...lengths of following distance in Autopilot on wife's Model Y LR with the latest update. Just thought I'd mention it since I was complaining about the prior minimum setting of 3 being too far back which allowed too many cars to keep cutting in. This was maybe a week or two ago and lo and...

    Is Anyone Else Tired Of Following Waaay Behind On PureVision Autopilot?

    I know they did this (set the following distance to no Less than "3") on Autopilot to allow the system to feel out the real world with cameras only, but the following distance seems a bit too long and allows everyone and their brother to cut in front of you. The gap increases with speed as well.

    Miss My Model S, Wrote A Song...

    Well, I guess I am Tesla-less for a while. My Model S lease expired so I had to turn her in. Now I wait on a CT resv. with a *sorta* realistic number (early 40,000s) but likely still not until way into next year. And I've been stressed out driving by actually having to Press The Brakes when I...

    Model Y Long Range RWD is $2000 Cheaper...

    19-inch Rims from Model 3 on Y?

    Wondering if anyone has done this yet. I always thought those Model 3 19" wheels in bright silver looked pretty spiffy on a silver or midnight 3. If the fit would work.

    Mother's Day from Inside Our S

    Too bad there were no nice sit down restaurants to take her to, but the in-car entertainment made us forget all about the 45-minute takeout wait. It was kinda like Supercharging except we never left the car and instead we got 5-star food brought out to us. Tesla for win!

    Under A Year Left On My 2018 S75D Lease...

    ...and I am kinda torn, mainly because although I still love my car and there is nothing wrong with it, the Model Y looks a bit tempting plus I already have a low-number reservation for my real lust-inducing object, a Cybertruck Tri-motor. But the lease expires too early - in March of 2021 or...

    Cybertruck Artificially Suppressing Model Y Sales

    According to TheStreet which was quoting Tesla, "Around 76,200 of the delivery total was linked to Model 3 and Model Y cars, the company said...", and yet it doesn't break out how many deliveries were for the Model Y alone. If lower than anticipated (note how Tesla is already reaching out to...

    They Should Just Rename FSD

    When Tesla's neural network AI is fully up and awake and making real time decisions in live traffic driving us around, I would think by then they might consider renaming the system. Instead of the tired and over-carrot-sticked "FSD" (Full Self Driving) Mode, they should change it to "FSA" (Full...

    Storage in "Sail Pillars"?

    I was reading through the Cybertruck specs and saw: "Storage capacity: 100 cubic feet of exterior, lockable storage including the vault, frunk, and sail pillars." Including the Sail Pillars? So what, do they open up or something? Or maybe they're even REMOVABLE for better blind spot vision? If...

    My S75D Hit By Semi, Body Shop Fixed All In...

Or at least it seemed like record time for me anyway, ever since reading the horror story posts from others on here and on Youtube about how it took months (and at times even More months) to get their cars repaired. All I know is I got hit June 21, had the car...

    AP Following Distance on Setting 1

    ...seems to keep my car so much further back than before. When I first got my car about a year ago I distinctly recall feeling the need to click it up to "2" or higher on occasion because it seemed like I was following too close sometimes on "1". But now AP keeps the car far enough back at times...

    Twitchy Behavior After Update

    After the latest update, to me Autopilot seems more sensitive in its reactions, such as re-centering a little more forcefully back into the lane when that wide lane narrows or there is a long gap in the roadway lane markings, or swerving into its abruptly-decided-upon lane when one lane splits...

    What Is Your First Memory of Tesla

    Posting here because most on the forums would have heard about Tesla right around when they first brought out the S, but moderators please move if needed. Anyway I was thinking about how interested I am in all things Tesla, especially product-wise, and what fuels it. Then I tried to recall the...

    Say What You Want About Tesla Service, But

    I for one have an exemplary experience to share. So I’m reading about how everybody is getting all these latest updates while neither myself (nor BATTCAR) have seen one in about a month. Yeah, I may have a case of Tesla first-world entitlement syndrome but I really wanted Dog Mode and Sentry...

    Anyone Guess How Many Pre-orders

    Audi E-Tron Reservations

    How ICE Makers Survive When...

    all I’ve been seeing in media and online lately is: Legacy Automakers: “We’re gearing up for EVs!” Inference: “EVs are better!” Fact: EV is different from ICE and gearing up costs billions So my questions are: Meanwhile, wouldn’t many wait and Not buy more ICE cars? So then how...

    Las Vegas Model 3 Deliveries

    Referral Code Mix Up ?

    Hello, new here (pulled trigger on new S75D late Dec., with late March eta) and waiting anxiously. Anyway I used the referral code of Tomas (my brother in law's) for the free supercharging for me, and then he was to get a new black Musk-autographed wall charger. Or so we thought. The referral...
