    New Tesla/EV owner and first-time FSD beta user - is this a joke?

    TACC and AP for single lane highway use or very infrequent lane changes worked much better for me before FSDb. The distance pacing and lane change frequency (even with 'minimal' selected) make it borderline unusable IMO. Not the mention the phantom braking frequency uptick. I get the...

    Elon: FSD Beta tweets

    People love to ignore the literal words of the Tesla website (which have fluctuated wildly since 2017) with regards to FSD.

    Elon: FSD Beta tweets

    Bad faith is never going to result in real answers to your questions, if that's what you're actually looking for.

    Growing FSD liability could be massive.

    Elon Musk has one of the highest social media followings of all time. He was crazy popular even before Tesla really took off with Model 3 production. Comparing his outreach to the CEO of BMW is disingenuous at best. Heck you don't even have to leave this thread to see that many are drinking...

    Growing FSD liability could be massive.

    I wasn't but the response is wild nonetheless. I just can't believe we live in the same reality.

    Growing FSD liability could be massive.

    When I purchased FSD the website looked exactly like what Matias just posted. Please enlighten me on how most of those promises have been delivered?

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    Adding a data point: June 2018 LR RWD, 17k miles, 242 Wh/m lifetime, down to 293 miles full charge. I have stopped using TeslaFi but at last log in I had the worst rated range of their population which was ~120 vehicles.

    No range loss!

    Don't worry man I'm doing my part to bring down your contribution to the avg. There are only 3 cars on TeslaFi worse than me.

    12V Battery Failure Experience

    Yes it was. So at least you got 4 years covered.

    12V Battery Failure Experience

    Possible he was just saying stuff to make me feel better. It's also possible his experience in central FL is skewed with very hot temps.

    12V Battery Failure Experience

    I was faulting the 7 day schedule for simple battery swap, ICE cars do not have that issue lol. I'm not grandstanding about EV's or unique design, just Tesla's service issues. If this problem really did take 7 days to fix you're darn right I would have sold the car. To update the thread: A...

    12V Battery Failure Experience

    I do not have any non-Tesla accessories in or attached to my vehicle, aside from a USB thumb drive. Should have mentioned I was planning on going to the SC today regardless, if the car starts anyways. This morning I received a text that a mobile tech "may" be able to fit me in between...

    12V Battery Failure Experience

    Walked out to my vehicle after work today to find it totally unresponsive with a blank screen. The windows and locks worked (extremely lethargically) but the phone app indicated that there was no connection. Attempts at restarting did not work. Luckily I had a jump starter battery pack in my...

    Regenerative braking reduced message appeared while driving

    I'm getting 5-6 dots intermittently at 80% range and 80 degree weather lately. If the dots are there I definitely feel the regen limitations. Something is definitely not right.

    If Tesla restarted selling the LR RWD model, what would its range be?

    Model 3 Performance Battery Degradation One Month (Story)

    I have been charging 30-35% -> 80% on average every 5-6 days and have seen some (possible) BMS improvement. LR RWD went from 296 max to 305 in the past 4 weeks. I know it's not ideal on the battery but the rated range has been driving me nuts. Previously I was charging 60%->85% every couple...

    Almost 15% range loss Model 3 Awd

    If your next SC is Orlando, good luck...it's definitely snake oil there. Different answer every time, usually morphs into some variation of "your driving habits do affect rated range" (I'm at 245 wh/mi lifetime lol). My 80% is at 232-233 fwiw - LR RWD as well.

    Model 3 Performance Battery Degradation One Month (Story)

    After the post hurricane bump I am down to 292 rated on a LR RWD w/ V10 software. I now have something strange happening with my charging limits. The last 3 charges have resulted in a charge over my limit bar by 2-3% (according to the graphic -- green is past the limit bar). I meant to grab a...

    Model 3 Performance Battery Degradation One Month (Story)

    @N54TT it stopped at 297 on that occasion. I didn't actually notice the 310 theoretical until the next charge (85% is my norm) about 5 days later. I have a sad update, however, that provides evidence for my Dorian suspicion. I got home from work yesterday with 206 miles of range and did not...

    Model 3 Performance Battery Degradation One Month (Story)

    I have re-gained 13-ish miles of range but it's possibly a side effect of the Dorian uncorking. The only thing I've done out of the ordinary recently was charge to 100% and keep it there for a full day (hurricane prep). My theoretical max is now 310 up from 295-297 just a couple of weeks ago.

    Smelly AC not covered under Warranty on new cars?

    I've had this done at the Orlando SC twice since the spring, the smell came back within weeks both times. The first time the filters were free, the second time I had to pay. The second time they also told me I should run A/C without re-circulation exclusively and always turn on the A/C 5...

    Lost range? Poll

    I'm down about 22-23 miles of range at 80% (LR RWD).

    Worried about service centers

    Lots of talk about density in CA but it's a problem almost everywhere. More than 200k new Teslas in U.S. yet less than 50 service centers built since the beginning of 2018. Mobile service can't cover that gap.

    Model 3 Performance Battery Degradation One Month (Story)

    I charged to 100% for the first time in a few months this morning and capped out at 295 (LR RWD) so that's a 9.2% degradation over 9000 miles. I'll be doing a couple long stretches with supercharging over the next few days, if stalls aren't busy I'll try to go 20/30->100% a few times and see if...

    *Coolness* Anybody else pre-conditioning the cabin to stay cool?

    I do this in central FL so that I can get the mandatory vinegar smell flush out of way before I get into the car. 7/10 times it still smells like feet anyways for my entire drive home from work. (Yes, I make sure to to have re-circulate turned off.)

    Model 3 Performance Battery Degradation One Month (Story)

    This is identical to my experience, almost to the mile. My car was built July 2018. The Tesla Service Center closest to me ran a diagnostic ~2 weeks ago and claimed everything was normal and the rated range is based on my "driving style". My lifetime efficiency is 245 Wh/m and that's with...

    What’s the average Wh/mi you are getting

    RWD at 1500 miles with aeros, 260 wh/mi lifetime on the dot. I do not drive hard and regen efficiently. Unfortunately I live in Orlando FL where it's been 100+ degrees all summer and my daily commute is on a horrible corridor for traffic, forcing more extreme braking. On cooler days and less...

    glass roof - production change (July 2018)?

    Just another data point for the thread: VIN 58XXX and no red tint on rear panel. A buddy of mine picked up his Model 3 exactly a week after mine but his VIN is 56XXX and he does have red tint all the way back. Both cars built in July.
