    Anyone switching to a Rivian R1T after watching reviews?

    Ouch, that sounds terrible. I had 1 terrible service experience with my Model 3 where it broke down, service said the car needed to be towed and it was unsafe to drive, something to do with the high voltage contactor and potentially losing power while driving all precipitated by a charging...

    Cybertruck will have rear wheel steering

    The thing that concerns me is the S & X still have a shuddering issue from the front half shaft design with the higher suspension setting and damage over time/use. This has been an issue since AWD was introduced and is still not fixed with many revisions...to the point where they aren't fixing...

    Anyone switching to a Rivian R1T after watching reviews?

    I'm also loving the competition!!

    Anyone switching to a Rivian R1T after watching reviews?

    I think a big part of it is the drivetrain and suspension is the same across all, it would be equivalent to a trimotor being on all CTs To the question though, I did throw in a preorder, liked what I saw and the size is appealing. I figure by the time I get a chance to order I will have more...

    Anyone buy a new inventory MX?

    Holy moly! The biggest discount I've seen this quarter is around $4k which barely makes sense to go after. I was told that the days of huge discounts are gone....but it sounds like there are still some crazy deals out there.

    What discount did you get? I'm in the market and looking for one right now.

    FS: 21" Grey Turbines with tires

    Its not illegal to drive without TPMS, you just can't be a car manufacturer and sell a new car without TPMS.

    Cleaning black wheel arch trim

    The 'white' could also be wax residue, is it uniform or does it look swipes closer to the paint?

    new owner asks questions about autopilot and full self driving quirks

    They should never have included Enhanced Autopilot or Autopilot with Convenience as part of the FSD option. Creates so much confusion on what the expectations are or should be for the system. Its really just a nice following cruise control at this point.

    Upset with service costs, is this normal

    Also, really anyone can do brakes so this should be fairly cheap.

    Rental Model X rides much quieter and smoother than my 2018. What gives?

    Tire wear is a major component here. On my wife's Audi, it was extremely noticeable when we got new tires installed for road noise

    Lost Supercharging by merging accounts

    I set ours up to have two different tesla accounts but I contacted customer service and was able to give my wife's account access to the car as well. I guess this isn't too different than having just one account shared but I wasn't sure how well being logged into the same account in multiple...

    The $54,000 Paperweight (Registration problems)

    This level of service is really unacceptable, I've had dealers manage my out of state registration with more finesse even going into states beyond just their neighbors. The really odd thing is the inconsistency in the process at Tesla, I received my registration and title within 30 days...

    Seriously?

    My other car is a BMW M3, the lowest mpg mark I've hit for a full tank is 8....it's rated for 13 city and 20 highway. I had a similar experience with my pathfinder, albeit on much shorter trips in the winter of a mile or two

    Obvious features/functions that weren't obvious to you

    You can also go to the climate control screen and an option will popup with an option to keep climate on after you get out.

    Obvious features/functions that weren't obvious to you

    I think its because the charging doors are on the driver side, so reversing into a supercharger stall makes this useful

    Charged battery for 6+ hours right up until leaving, still had regen dots?!

    I didn't know that, I thought preheating the cabin would also start heating of the battery

    First Positive experience with Tesla since delivery

    Good to hear, my service appointment was pretty great as well. Had some paint work done on the bumpers, chrome trim on the driver side replaced and the rubber trunk gasket. Waiting on some parts that are backordered but with the service advisor getting me a loaner and pretty quick on the...

    What was the range for your first full charge??

    I also thought a full charge occasionally was good for balancing the pack

    Started car up yesterday to a bunch of fun errors

    They ended up replacing the high voltage contactors and said the charge door disabled as a protection to prevent charging

    Wood veneer cracking

    Has anyone noticed this? I marked it down at delivery but at the SC they said the other model 3s have it so it's "normal" It's noticeable when you look from the side and can see the surface isn't flat but had a bunch of raises cracked or separated sections.

    Pre-Conditioning / Remote Heating / Seat Heaters

    The loaner is a 2018 75D, pretty basic model, the option is called 'Smart Preconditioning'

    Pre-Conditioning / Remote Heating / Seat Heaters

    I noticed on my loaner S, there is an option for it to learn your schedule and condition the car automatically so if you leave at the same time every morning it will just be ready to go. This seems pretty cool, but manually scheduling would be just as useful!

    Model 3 LR Texas —> Colorado Trip & Range Report

    My Solution to the Blind Spot Problem

    Most cars in Europe have a gradual transition from a flat mirror to a spherical mirror, in the US, there has to be a separation so if you look at a car like a Ford Escape there is a separate spherical mirror placed in the corner next to the flat mirror. On my e92 m3, the EU version has the...

    Anyone have issues with Tesla Customer Service despite the "friendliness" ?

    See my thread here : Started car up yesterday to a bunch of fun errors One rep was adamant that I shouldn't drive my car and a tow was needed, 20hrs later with nothing changed, suddenly the car is a-ok to drive and a tow would not be covered. For my delivery, it was radio silence then suddenly...

    Can I drive the M3 RWD without winter tires through the snowy mountains?

    I've driven my BMW M3 through the snow in southern Germany with snow tires. It is definitely doable and possible, it is really amazing what a good set of snows can enable your car to do, for extra insurance, snow chains would also be recommended and you can just leave them in your trunk until...

    Started car up yesterday to a bunch of fun errors

    - Cannot maintain vehicle power - Car may stop driving or shut down - Unable to Charge - Car needs service to charge Tried rebooting and the "Cannot maintain vehicle power - Car may stop driving or shut down" error went away, but the other two stayed. The entire time, it sounded like it was...

    Quality Issues

    I agree this is accurate. Speaking about one car company where I know the procedure (it's been publicized), BMW repairs a ton of damage from shipping at their US ports before any customer sees it. The one thing I don't like is that we all have to become detectives to some respect to find all of...
