... Yeah I should probably get around to reading the manual. Was kind of fun to explore it and discover new features on my own for a while.

There is a "N" on the stalk and the UI "PRND" So am I missing something? I can't figure out how to activate neutral from the stalk.

72 hours seems generous? As far as I know, at any other car dealer, once you've driven a car off the lot, any cosmetic blemishes you find are on you? How long do people expect to have for Tesla to fix any and all cosmetic issues no questions asked? There clearly has to be a limit especially...

I kind of feel like every owner should be entitled to one free or heavily subsidized fob. Yeah other auto manufacturers charge up to $300 for a replacement, but in all of those instances those cars came with 1-2 free fobs upfront. I'm considering purchasing one because my wife's android phone...

I hope they made it a 3rd regen setting. It would be nice to have a little more control over the regen strength.

I don’t see any downside to sticking with the V1 that includes the battery? Am I missing something?

If you want to order now the Tesla is no longer guaranteed to get the full tax credit, the Chevy bolt is still guaranteed the full tax credit, plus $700 from Costco, plus in some states like Texas it's good for an additional $2,500 off that doesn't apply to the Tesla. You really can't compare...

So just to clarify, you know of some kind of test that shows this? I’ve been trying to find the rolling resistance rating for the PIRELLI WINTER SOTTOZERO™ SERIE II but all I’ve found is it’s advertising listing it as “low rolling resistance “

That is a clean dark look. I’ve grown to really like the white aluminum strip. As a plus I figure that material will lend itself more to wrapping than the wood grain should I feel like it in the future.

I just got updated to .40.1 which the service center said should fix this issue so fingers crossed.

I have an awd with 19” sport wheels, anyone know if the 18” areo winter set will get better efficiency?

I love the look of silver with the 19” sports wheels.

Does anyone know what the range looks like with the aero+snow tire kit Tesla sells? I’m wondering if that would be an improvement over the 19” sport wheels.

Yes, fan just stops working no matter what buttons you press. Double scroll wheel reset does not fix it. I’ve been told .40 fixes this

So what is this about nomad no longer including a battery in their charger and yet they are still charging the same price? I ordered but haven’t received mine yet. Seems kind of like a bate and switch if they advertise a battery at the time I ordered but then remove it before they fulfill my...

I took mine in, they gave me a loaner, and then they returned my car to me a couple days later saying I just need to wait for a firmware update that fixes it. Not super happy with that resolution...

I have V9 and if I could go back to V8 right now, I think I would. On V9 my HVAC works only intermittently, which is not super fun with a frozen windshield in the morning. In my mind HVAC that works 100% of the time trumps the 360 visualization and Atari games. I just got my car back from...

I’m hoping .40 fixes the HVAC not working intermittently issue. I almost wish I could go back to v8 until that’s fixed. HVAC is pretty critical to operation of a car when you park outside in freezing temperatures.

The EAP and FSD descriptions are still live on their site: Https://www.tesla.com/autopilot I just saved the page as a pdf “for my documents” just in case. You might want to do the same.

Meh given all the seat colors are the same price on model S and X. I’m expecting and am fully prepared for the day when the white seats are free (or same price as black). I’m still happy with my purchase. I have my car now, I love the seats, and I couldn’t stand the wood dash (I hate wood grain...

Looks like a slight price reduction for white interior now.

Are they just software limiting an LR battery like the S60?

Seen on the configurator now : Does this mean what I think it means?

They think mine is some kind of firmware issue that hasn’t been fixed yet. If it’s a firmware issue though I’d expect more people to be experiencing this but I don’t see many people chiming in about experiencing this too so I’m not sure I trust the service center’s conclusion?

Is anyone else having issues with their HVAC fan refusing to blow any air? I have 2018.39.7 installed and I’ve had 2 instances where I get in the car and no matter what I do it won’t blow any air. Doing a reboot by holding the two scroll wheels doesn’t fix it. Service center is telling me this...

I’ve had this twice now. I get in the car in the morning but the fan won’t turn on. I can’t defog my windows. I get drive in at 6am in 40 degree weather with the windows down so I can see. (Thank god for the seat heaters but it makes the lack of a heated steering wheel all the more accute) I’ve...

Showing the side cameras while backing up seems easily doable. No front bumper camera clearly dooms a similar 360 view as competitor's have but it seems like they might be able to create a 270 view.

If people want this feature I'd recommend filing a "bug" through their car. Hit the voice control button and say something like "bug report no surround 360 view" or "bug report can not see side cameras when backing up" I figure the more people request this feature through various channels, the...

I'm at 307 after 220 miles, awd with 19" wheels. I've done some spirited driving but I think the main reason for the poor numbers is I have a pretty hilly commute. The elevation profile for it looks like a huge "V" so I imagine that hurts the efficiency a bit.

We've packed up the sun in the Seattle area, it's nothing but gray skies and rain for the next 9 months here. However I can report the glass roof does well with mid 50s weather. If you live in a climate that is still mid 80s in October, maybe getting a little more tint on the roof would help?

I went from a 2001 Subaru imprezza to a awd model 3 and it's such a huge improvement. I'm glad I saved my money and didn't go performance, the awd is amazingly fast as is and even then I don't often get the chance to use its full acceleration. Almost everything thing is a massive improvement...

Sort of related: I've been having trouble with the Bluetooth audio properly transferring to the car. I'll get a call, answer it through the car touch screen, but audio is via phone handset. When I try to select the car as the audio source it tries for a second and then reverts to the handset...

Well crap, I had been just charging my car at work but I went to charge at home last night and exactly this happened where it kept tripping the gfci outlet in my garage. I guess I need to get new gfci outlets? That seems to have solved the issue for most people?

Hopefully BMW designs a huge ad campaign around how it's new 3 series is faster than the model 3, just to really incentivise Tesla to do something about that :-)

Yeah I feel like the greater Seattle area probably has the second highest concentration of Tesla's after California yet has very few superchargers. Seems kind of odd.

Below is an image of my front wheel. The red line is where the sensor is, the green line is about where a curb comes to. I don’t see how you're supposed to trust those sonic sensors mounted so high for detecting low curbs when you need to get close.

I get them tested every year as an eye glasses wearer . Though joking aside if I did have a medical depth perception issue, I'm not sure there is a whole lot medicine can do about it, so even then your suggestion seems unhelpful? So to bring this back to the original point of the thread: has...

I guess I'm having a hard time trusting the sensors because I'll be pulling into a spot and I see the poll right next to my front side fender, but the sensors show nothing. Yeah I just don't think that's going to help. Love the car so far but I have a wee bit of jealousy when I'm in my wife's...

I haven’t gotten a feel for this cars dimensions yet and I'm now supremely paranoid when parking it that I'm going to either crunch the front or get the dreaded curb rash on the sides. Has anyone looked at installing a simple wifi camera to the front that you could just view on your phone? I...

...this has probably been asked before, but is there any similar effort / mod like this for the model 3?

I did the same. Took 31 days for them to issue a refund in my case.

I know right? I can't believe they discontinued it but glad I ordered before they did.

I think the nomad website says that the note 9 does not fit.

Got my silver awd with white seats yesterday! Reserved 11/2017. Delivered 9/28/2018 I'n thinking especially with the white seats it's asking for some tint, but I also live in the pacific northwest where it is cloudy and gray 9 months of the year, so maybe 45-50% tint?

Stopped following this thread around page 200 or so but wanted to update it. Reserved 11/2017 Ordered silver awd 6/28/2018 Delivered in Bellevue WA 9/28/2018 I was surprised to get the car when I did. I think the silver color helped expedite things since they have since retired it.

It's on my due bill. Like the scratches are bad but it's also really hard to see them so I'm not as concerned about how they fix it vs if it was in a highly visible area like the hood or door.

I posted about my delivery experience at Bellevue here Less than 48 hrs before delivery, no MVPA If you're picking up at the 20th street location in Bellevue: make sure you look under the front of your car! They are using the Sears parking lot as a staging area for the cars and driving them...

So that was a *sugar* show. I showed up to my appointment without an MVPA and they said no problem, we'll get it generated. They were running a little behind so an hour after my appointment time they call me over to sign papers, but the contract they are having me sign has no mention of my trade...

Update : Good news, tesla financing rate matched the better rate I was getting from my bank. Bad news, still no MVPA and delivery is tomorrow morning. Guess I'm just going to show up and see what happens.

If it's an 11k or more software unlock I don't think too many performance owners would be bothered by that. If it's less than that and buying awd + perf unlock is cheaper than buying a P3D that would be bad.
