    Tried a FSD subscription. It's not worth it...

    I chose to buy FSD not because I thought it would be perfect, but rather I wanted to experience its progress. FSD now has much improved from four years ago. The journey has been interesting. Something to tell my grandchildren. Ten years after FSD has been solved it will be boring.

    2500 miles. My thoughts - and issues 😬

    "Last thing is apps. I’ve seen loads of things out there but what I’m reallly after is one that can “accurately” predict my range. Is there a decent app that I can put my start and end point in and it will work out how many stops I’ll need based on charge rather than me using Google maps, me...

    Can one pause the FSD beta request?

    Good point. I figured.

    Can one pause the FSD beta request?

    Thanks. In my mind I’m not trying to “game” the system I just legitimately want a break. I’ve been at 97 for about 2 weeks. I’ve gotten 100 and 99 everyday but still no movement. Lately, I’ve been not using a lot of autopilot so I can wrack up points and I’m still at 97. Frankly I’m...

    Can one pause the FSD beta request?

    Does anyone know if the beta request and/or beta safety score can be temporarily turned off and then on again without loosing ones safety score or place in line? I need a break from “grandma” driving.

    Blog Tesla Discounts Basic Autopilot – $2,000 Until July 1

    Off base. It's a liitle confusing because it has been developing: there are now two levels NOW: 1. Autopilot- adaptive cruise control and self driving in highway lanes (early M3 did not come with this feature. Now it comes with it unless you purchased the 35,000 car) 2. Full Self Driving

    Blog Tesla Discounts Basic Autopilot – $2,000 Until July 1

    Considering that all M3s now have adaptive cruise control & autosteer the 2018 M3s (which didn't come with any autopilot) should buy it so they can easily resell their cars. BTW I got FSD on my 2018 M3 because I felt this was a once in a lifetime chance to experience its progress in REAL...

    iPhone no longer connects automatically

    We also experienced lack of instant connection after an update from several months ago on our two 2018 M3. It's gotten better but still randomly connects. Also, since that update we have experienced random glitches to the car sound. Randomly, when calls (incoming or outgoing) get routed...

    Just bought a New 2018 LR RWD from Tesla

    I really like my LR RWD which I got in April 2018. I also got FSD. I fully enjoy my car because it is a "work in progress", not because it is perfect- that would be boring.

    Vacation “rules”

    I just spoke to a mobile service technician who said to plug in, leave the battery at 50 % and lower the volts to its lowest number. Lowering the volts will allow the charge to trickle in.

    @GSP Thanks. Good to know x2.

    Vacation “rules”

    Good answer! For some reason I hadn't thought of plugging it into 120v. - I suppose one could also use a surge protector just in case?? Yes, I will turn off sentry mode however I am concerned about how hot it gets where I live-can be 115 degrees- and who knows in the garage. Does anyone know...

    Vacation “rules”

    We have two M3 and only one charger. I have been searching for how to put the second car into some kind of "vacation" mode but can't seem to find the info. does anyone know? Also, it appears Tesla support.com ie chat and email have disappeared. I wish the owners manuel had the ability to search.

    Clean your solar panels!

    I wonder... Has anyone tried the "no-Rinse" car wash liquid? The "No Rinse" solution says it is suppose to break down dirt. I consistently use it to clean my car. First with a solution using a bug sprayer -which of course would be fairly easy to spray on the panels.

    Tesla model 3 accident with a Mack truck

    I noticed that the ambulance went a different direction after the accident.:( Did help come quickly? Question: did you get the footage from Tesla or or your USB drive?

    Best Method/Product To Clean White Premium Interior

    I accidentally sat on a pen which left blue ink dots on my white interior. I got most of it off with a Shot wipe that a kindly Tesla owner gave me at a supercharging station but there is still a blue haze. Has anyone tried a Mr. Clean pen? ...I am going to try the alcohol & will let you know...

    Just left the Dedham MA SC - People were loosing their *$@t

    I am a model 3 owner- now x2. I personally take an artist perspective on the cars. They are a work in progress. I love and relish this fact. When I got the first M3 there were some delays & issues which, when brought to Tesla's attention, were quickly resovled. I love the updates and the...

    Who has lost regen with winter tires?

    I didn't know about refraining from charging when the battery is cold. Where did you learn about that? And does it mean one should heat the car before charging? Will the car tell you when you've reached optimal temperature for charging?

    Who has lost regen with winter tires?

    I'm here in California with just cool weather & no snow at all. We have both a RWD & AWD Model 3 with factory provided aero wheels. For the past few weeks we have been getting, "regenerative braking limited" messages as well as dots showing the limited regenerative braking for both vehicles. I...

    Can you help with purchasing a Tesla as a business vehicle?

    I did the same in April- also S Corp. It is registred to the business & myself. It has become a business deduction. I Can't help you about financing. But insurance has cost me more...$807 (model 3) with State Farm per 6 months. I am not happy :( However I just got great rates with Costco...

    Business Trip Tracker

    Does anyone know of a "business trip tracker" that is already integrated into the Tesla or coming soon as an update?... Rather than writing down or using an App to keep track of my business trips for the IRS it would be an incredible help to do the same with a push of a button in the Tesla. Of...

    I believe the material is the same, it is just that there is a little sheen to it that the first doesn't have.

    Dashboard scratches

    Bad news...it didn't change anything... good news for me, after applying the Amorall I was able to eliminate any residual sheen with my normal routine of Optimum, No rinse. FYI- Yesterday my husband & I went to pick-up another Tesla ( AWD Model 3, red with white interior... yeah! :)). While...

    AWD Non-Performance White Interior VIN 991XX Next Week!

    Terrific! I ordered my red AWD with white seats the end of July. I was fretting that the white seats would delay the order, but maybe I am not too far behind :)

    Dashboard scratches

    The same situation just happened to me. :( Did the Armor All leave any visual residue or smell? Was there a certain kind that you got- spray, liquid, etc?

    Blind spot warning while changing lanes

    ...Yes, of course the car should not fix assumptions but every driver has a set of experiences and these experiences should be considered when developing a car. My point and communication to the folks of Tesla Motors is that of my thought processes which was: my Honda has blindspot warnings...

    Blind spot warning while changing lanes

    Okay, good to know now. I still think, as a first time Tesla owner, it is counterintuitive NOT to have basic audible side to side warnings. Again, because the front and back warnings and auto pilot have been good, I assumed the side to side driver input would be just as good. My vote is to...

    Blind spot warning while changing lanes

    Thanks everyone for your feedback...is Blind spot warning good or unnecessary could be debated. My true concern was that I assumed - that with all its technology- my Tesla would warn me if someone was in my blindspot. So I was driving as if it would.

    My 2018 odessey also has an audible alert...when you say, “it is suppose to be coming” have you heard it could be an over the air fix or a new generation tesla?

    Blind spot warning while changing lanes

    Twice I tried to change lanes while another car was in my blind spot. I was very surprised that there was not an audible or visual alert. Once it happened with the blinker on, once without. I also have a Honda odessey which does alert me when a car is in a lane I am about to go into so I was...
