    Live View cameras reversed (funny thread w/pics)

    First I’m dyslexic so I have problem with this. Several months ago (pre multi camera view) I was near my car and looking at my App and struggling to figure out what perspective I was seeing. It all seemed reversed. I almost made thread asking if my cameras were “flip flopped” but decided...

    Withe Cybertruck confirmed 800V V4 must be

    Since it is confirmed that Cybertruck has a >800V pack then that means the V4's must be going to >800v charging also. Maybe this is why they were installing the cabinets in Europe first as a low voltage test. This way they would be better prepared to go to higher voltage as they start installing...

    Cybertruck will be 800V

    This was announced on the Jay Leno Simi test drive (TS 28:00). I'm surprised I haven't read or heard of anyone that noticed it. Obviously this has implications for the V4 Superchargers.

    GA Senate Bill 146 discussion

    Has anyone studied the GA Senate Bill 146 to see how it affects us? I kinda skimmed over but Georgia Power isn't mentioned. Will they charge Tesla and other DC chargers standard commercial rates (how do they do it now)? Isn't that about 16¢ per kWh but I think they can pay more if demand is...

    I want to customize my Trip Card info to Current Drive, Week and Lifetime but no matter what I do it defaults back to Current Drive, Since Charge and Odometer after one drive/car sleeps. The ones I want do stay checked but they don’t show up in the Trip Card (pic 2). I have even tried adjust...

    V4 location plans/cables on wrong side of V4 charger?

    An Atlanta Supercharger site about to begin construction have plans submitted with V4 as an alternate. So not sure if they are going in but........ What is going on with the cable on the WRONG side? This doesn't make any sense since you will have to use the charger in the parking space to the...

    Suggested Supercharger sites in Georgia (Tesla vote)

    Tesla opened up Supercharger sites for suggestions and votes. Looks like you get 5 votes. So far we have only 1 for GA (Dalton). I just suggested Midway Ga (I95/US84) as a site (blue star). It would help fill in the I95 corridor. We also (IMO) need at least one in north GA and in mid southeast...

    Tesla says SC are not for profit, but way more expensive than for profit EA chargers

    Tesla says the Supercharger network is not to make a profit. However Electrify America and EVGo are far, far cheaper to use despite being for profit companies and buying their hardware from 3ed parties . What is the reasoning why Tesla SC are so much more expensive? Also don't see much of...

    DARPA flies/tests FSF Blackhawk helicopter

    For the first time DARPA has test flown a Full Self Flying (ALIAS) Blackhawk. It flew this weekend for 30 minutes at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. "The aim of the ALIAS program, say DARPA officials, is to support execution of an entire mission from takeoff to landing -- including autonomously...

    Setting a point on Map as Home Address (for FSD Beta/pic)????

    For FSD Beta to get me home I need it to navigate to a point on the Map. Can I set this as my Home Address? TL;DR Live in a high-rise condo and there is a a parking deck that coves the entire neighborhood. My Home address takes FSD Beta to the street level in front of my building and I need to...

    Is Tesla selling AD space on our screens/Have layered AD on mine (pics)

    Have a strange Century 21 Advertisement that is showing up on my Maps screen as of today. It is NOT part of the Maps since it is layered and doesn’t rotate or move with the Map face. What the HELL am I seeing? Is Tesla selling Advertisement space on our screens?????

    10.3.1 rolling out

    Looks like the fix is coming this morning. Of course there is not any info on what fixes are yet and thread title contains all the info known at this time. Exciting times knowing we should get to use 10.3 this week. EDIT: So far nothing yet to me but hoping to get it downloaded and installed...

    Unsafe Following 3 second or 1 second or what?

    Trying to lower my Unsafe Following and a little confused. Was at 2% this morning and did 10 miles and I was behind a car in the HOV lane and keep a 3+ to 4 second distance. My score stayed the same. I then tried the same drive and tried to keep a more consistent 3 second distance. This time I...

    Proof AP doesn’t ding you but…after you disengage

    Here is proof AP doesn’t ding you for Hard Braking when it does a Panic Stop going about 70+MPH. Was in HOV lane and a car cut in the HOV lane in front of the minivan in front of me and they had to lay on the brakes. AP was EXTREMELY slow to react and I started panicking. Just as AP applied the...

    Satellite 48.xxx images "wonky" (pics)

    Just got 48.xx Maps downloaded last week. Pulled into the parking deck and looked at my building and was confused. What am I seeing? Looked like there were some type of tennis courts or something??? on our roof. Keep trying to wrap my mind around what I was seeing (Atlanta/Atlantic Station) and...

    HINT: More music options coming

    ....or is this a HINT? It says "up to 7" when there are only 6. So it would need at least 2 more to be a correct statement.

    Taillights not working (software) in Auto

    Oddly this ALSO happened a little over a year ago when my 3 was new and was perplexing. People flashing lights behind me so pulled over and put in P. Got out and no taillights. Was confused since Teslas are not like regular cars and wondered if they went off as I got out. Reset MCU and still the...

    AP allowing 10MPH over limit (Red Light Stop).

    Noticed that on a certain short stretch of road and only going in one direction that AP allows me to go 10MPH (or more) over the speed limit. Also using Red Light/Stop Sign stopping and can only go the speed limit everywhere else. Thought it was a one time fluke but have now repeated it. Have...

    Post your weekly COVID-19 mileage

    I always take a pic and reset my "Week" tripmeter....well every week to keep my Wh per mile usage (also have "Lifetime"/total) tripmeter. Noticed last weeks was an embracingly low 23.1 miles or 3.3 miles per day average. Haven't drove a single mile this week since we (Atlanta) are under a...

    How to restart Supercharger?

    I live in a condo and have to use a Supercharger. There happens to be one in the same parking deck. So I plug in and go back up to my condo while charging. Today (all stations full) stated charging at a slow rate. Headed back to my condo and even checked before I got on the elevator and was at...

    Will exterior paint be offered as an option or will they all be (like a DeLorean) Stainless Steal only? On the order site there is no mention but still too early to tell.

    No taillights this morning in dark/rain/heavy traffic Interstate

    This morning (pre dawn/6AM) was driving on I285 (Perimeter [what we call it]/Beltway). It was blinding rain and heavy traffic. Car behind me started flashing brights on/off. I turned down the stereo and they were also honking horn. Thought they were “road ragging” for some reason so switched...

    Joe Mode "kills" Turn Signal sound

    Keep noticing I could hardly hear my signals at speed. Turned Joe Mode off and the sound came back to normal. Seems a little strange to have Joe Mode nearly mute the signal sound since it is NOT a warning type sound. This will just lead to more people driving longer and more often with the...

    Any way to use Speed Limit Mode/no Chill or to get a warning

    Ideally would like to set a warning beep if I go over a set speed. Had this on other cars and find it as a useful reminder. Tried cutting on Speed Limit Mode but it enables Chill Mode and no way to cut Chill off (grayed out). I even tried setting to 90mph and still get Chill Mode. Is there any...

    Wheel washing water channel problem

    Worlds worst problem and needs to be fixed immediately. Well maybe not quit that bad but........In the Sport's Wheel (have 19" but I bet 20" are the same) there is a channel (see pic) that collects water. After washing you must use a towel to absorb the water at the bottom. Of course if a spoke...

    Taycan to best Tesla with Apple Music app

    Looks like the Taycan is going to get the Apple Music car app first along with 3 years of LTE data (we get 1 YEAR of Elon time data and who knows when that is up:eek::D). This likely means higher quality (think Apple requires at least 128kbps and could be the full 256kbps) audio than we (Tesla)...

    NOA sent me the opposite Interstate direction (pic)

    Don’t use NOA much since it does such a poor job selecting lanes. Also keep confirmation on to help counter its lane awareness (or lack of). Today decide to go to Swanee (near the Mall of GA Supercharger) to run. They have some very nice trails and gas is so cheep plus I have a ½ drunk copilot...

    Nail in tire = Tesla or Discount Tire

    First time in my life (I believe) that I've got a nail in my tire. Probably been this way for a while and maybe since I bought. Notice over the first few weeks the rear passenger was getting a little lower than the others. But even after a month is was something like about 45/42 to 38 for it...

    Navigation says “stay straight” on interstate/shows next exit (pic) What?

    Strange navigation behavior. When driving on the Interstate instead of showing the TRUN off and distance it will show the next exit and say “stay straight”. For instance in this pic I’m turning on I285 in about 5 miles but instead of showing this it has the next exit coming up and shows NOT to...

    Why red rear signal lights on US version?

    Oddly the US allows a confusing hodge podge of red or amber, detected or not detected rear brake lights. Definitely more ambiguous and dangerous but……. Of course most other countries require detected amber rear signals. Despite the fact that amber’s are safer it would seem that having just...

    2020 BMW M3 (G80) 510HP/AWD : How Will it Compare to Model 3 Performance?

    Looks like BMW is gunning for the Performance. The 2020 M3 (code G80) will have 480BHW to 510BHP and AWD. While too early for numbers I bet BMW is looking for low 3's or maybe in the 2s 0-60 and probably a MUST that it is faster then the Performance. So the $64,000 (almost literally) question...

    Maps Auto switching Sat/Day to Map/Night mode

    My first (AWD) 0-60.

    First time (sorta) timing my AWD and doing a full 0-60 (really wanted a Performance but…..). Living in an urban area roads that are safer are way too busy and roads that are deserted enough don’t seem safe, responsible and defiantly illegal. Found a spot of road the meets all requirements and is...

    Why does Summon adjust seat/wheel?

    Why does Summon feel the need to adjust the seat and steering wheel positions? Is this Elon's driving position or mine or the "ghost" of someone????. Seems kinda strange to adjust them for no apparent reason.

    Navigate blows by turn every time AND afraid to merge problems (pics)

    This is a little bit of a complex interchange and Navigate has 2 fails in a row every time. Also I’m doing this at about 5:30AM so light traffic and "testing" Navigate. The 1st pic is an overview of the interchange. In the red arrow I’m merging onto I75N. I can be up to 65MPH and about to merge...

    90mph AutoPilot on a 45mph road (pics)

    Every where I have driven so far (except limited access/Interstate's) the speed has been limited to 5mph over the posted speed limit. Today I was on a 4 lane road about 25 miles north west of ATL (so still semi urban) and hit Autopilot and it took off and scared me as it keep accelerating...

    Percentage or Miles/Kilometers : which do you use and why?

    I have been using percentage (so far) since the Miles/Kilometers is displayed as an absolute and not relative to actual Miles/Kilometers driving. Had an ELR and it was relative so milage estimate range changed based on driving habits and made more sense. However percentage means different...

    Blended regen brakes???

    First, I got my Model 3 a little over 2 weeks ago. Noticed some brake dust building up. Never had much brake dust on my ELR so thought it may be because on new pads and a little more aggressive driving. Then I was watching a podcast (can’t remember which) and it was stated that the Model 3...

    Why no Dynamic Speed Sensitive Volume Control???

    Last 3 or 4 cars I have owned had Dynamic Speed Sensitive Volume Control. Why doesn't the 3 have this? Is it in the S/X? It is a mid level feature offered in many models these days. It is kinda aggravating having to manually adjust the volume level as you speed up or stop. Seems Tesla could add...
