My point was always that people should try this out for themselves. As this thread shows, people can vary quite a bit in torso length, which is what matters more when seated than overall height. However, I still think some are missing what I was saying in the video. It's not about a...

I didn't mean to imply there is anything special about my referral code. I'm just saying that I see it happening, and part of the reason why is that I get 1-3 referrals every day. It's better if you use someone else's referral code simply because it will mean a lot more to most Tesla owners...

I would think it much more likely that the recline positions were different than anything with the headliner. What about the other reclined position? Did you try that?

Did you try to put your head on the headrest?

I see my referral code being added to existing orders all the time. I guess it just depends upon who you end up talking to at Tesla, so keep trying if you get the Heisman from the first person you ask.

This is my video, and I can answer a few issues raised. First off, I didn’t set out to do anything other than test drive a Model Y and share my thoughts. I had no preconceived notion of how it was going to turn out one way or another. As I said in the video, I had very limited time with the...

After 6 months of trying to get a refund, this is what I finally got from Tesla: "Thank you for following-up. Due to your vehicle being purchased on 6/28/18 there are no refunds available. Elon’s tweet in regards to a refund was for customers within the 7-day return window and/or undelivered...

How would capacitance sensors work when people are wearing gloves?

Somebody with a friend at Sheetz corporate told me that they were partnering with Tesla to open a ton of new Superchargers. Between this and Mt. Airy in just one week, it looks like that's more than just a rumor.

I just had my horn switch replaced for a different reason, and I confirmed that there is no way for the horn to work by pushing just the bottom. Either side where the horn symbol is works. Dead center with enough force works. Just the bottom of the horn pad will never work due to the fact...

From friends who have had windshields replaced on their Model 3s, I’d say that 2-3 weeks wait is ambitious. Tesla employees don’t even have any good way to track where parts are. I’d ask if you could be matched to a different vehicle as you will likely get a completely different car faster...

I don’t blame you for wanting it in writing now, but when I took delivery in September, Tesla seemed to be a lot more competent and willing to fix delivery issues. I was neither surprised by the fact they didn’t hand me a due bill for the items I showed them, nor by the fact that they...

You’re suggesting quid pro quo and not what OP wants which is to just get it for free.

Bad example because I’m one of the suckers who paid $8,000 for EAP+FSD for my Model 3 because the order page told me it would be more expensive if I bought it later.

I’m far from a “sky is falling” kinda guy, but that is something that would really concern me. I would not be driving a vehicle after something like that happened. Please update with what they find.

5.15 has reintroduced significant phantom braking, 30% Auto Lane Change abort rate even with no cars around, and horrific bucking coming up to a stopped car (hard braking, then hard acceleration, then hard braking). All of this is on my daily routes where I use EAP all the time. I’ve said this...

How much is not holding others up worth to you? What should Tesla do for those who paid for the upgrade if they just give it to you for free?

You seem really defensive. No need for that. Reread what I wrote. I am activating EAP *after* pulling away from an intersection, not before or within. I do have places like this, including the road that runs to my house. I have no idea why you’re so dogmatic about this and turning it into...

That’s fine for the edge case we are discussing, but I use EAP all the time. Your way means I have to come up to speed or set the speed manually every time I pull away from an intersection. My way means I just activate EAP, and it will automatically set to the speed limit whenever the map...

Sure, but those are for units yet to be produced. This deal is specifically for units in inventory.

I had someone hit our front bumper with a shopping cart, putting a cut in the XPEL. I took it to our installer, who said it will never heal. However, they have had very good luck using touch up paint to cover the blemish on the XPEL and specifically said that they do it all the time to cover...

Since Tesla dedicated Q1 production for China and Europe, no inventory cars are likely 2019 production (other than refits, which will have a born date of their final release for sale). If they are building cars in 2019 that are going straight to inventory in the US, then that is a very bad sign.

It’s very easy to do on the Model 3, but it’s a bad idea. The steering wheel plugs into a cogged ring, and you can install it oriented however you want as long as its lined up with the cogs. However, the rack is still limited to one full turn to either right or left based upon the cogged ring...

I have the same experience- our Model 3 is much more sensitive to the presence of my phone when I’m at the trunk than when I’m at the doors. I keep my iPhone X in my back pocket, and I usually have to spin my butt towards the car to get the door to open. If I’m not carrying something in my...

This also happened to me for the first time yesterday, though I already knew that pulling the manual release would take care of it. That release is not like the emergency release in the front doors- it will not hurt your charge port to use it. You just need to be careful pulling because a few...

The short term fix is actually pretty easy once you know what to do. TACC/EAP won’t accelerate to the indicated speed until you remove your foot from the accelerator. The trick to smoothly activating TACC/EAP when it defaults to a faster speed than you want is to keep your foot on the...

I really like the guys in the Raleigh Service Center, and they use Caliber Collision for paint and bodywork, one of the best body shops in the area.

I’m betting we’ll start seeing this badging on the newly-100kWh-only S and X instead of “100D” and “P100D.” Badging across the line needs to sync up at some point, and that’s the unfortunate direction they are headed. I would have much preferred “75”, “75D” and “P75D” badging for the Model 3...

Never heard of this or read anything like it. For something like that, I would immediately log a bug report, then call customer service to see if they can pull any data about it. The former is probably too late but I’d still do the latter.

Not in my county or most of the 100 counties in NC. Can we get back to Teslas now instead of unfounded mud slinging at people because of the state they call home?

Stereotype much?

Mine also looks like this, though only under certain lighting conditions. A friend who got her Model 3 at the same time as me also has the same effect. Like others have been told, the SC told me that it was a known issue that will be fixed with a software update.

Mine was exactly like this, about 3-5 degrees off to the right of where the tires were actually pointing. I just had it adjusted at the Service Center because it was there for something else, and they said they have to do a full alignment to straighten it. They didn’t charge for this as they...

It’s fine when the map is correct, but it can be very frustrating to not have Autosteer available to you when Telsa’s speed limit and/or map data is wrong, and that happens more frequently than I’d like.

Xpel’s Model 3 wrap kit has cutouts for the sensors (and the logo, too).

Because of torque vectoring, it helps massively when you need to turn, even when you have good traction. When you’re driving at the limits of traction, such as when you might be attempting to avoid an accident, that torque vectoring to the front tires could very well mean the difference between...

We have the same problem with 42.2. Prior to that, the media player would stay on Slacker, but we’d have to manually reload at least. 50% of the time to get it playing again once we got back into the car.

The button you’re looking for is already there- just toggle NAVIGATE ON AUTOPILOT on and off as it is useful for you.

You should be able to add it when they contact you to schedule delivery. The $5000 price is for purchasing before delivery, not purchasing at the time of your order. I added FSD the same way when we ordered our AWD in July, and I had zero issues.

Excellent take on Tesla’s possible pricing strategies from start to finish. I never even considered the CPO impact on private party sales of used Teslas like that, and I think you’re absolutely right.

I found it maybe 3x as fast as previous versions of the software. So fast it actually startled me.

Just search “license plate screws” on amazon. They’re an industry standard screw.

I’ve been trying this drive, too. On Day 2 so far, though I had a USB drive go five days before crapping out. Fingers crossed.

Raleigh is a lot hillier than many people think, and that makes it tough on mileage whether it’s an ICE or EV. We’re currently at 254Wh/m over the first 2,000 miles of driving, and I was pretty happy with that until I saw some of the numbers here. That said, we drive enthusiastically and do...

I can’t get anything I’ve tried so far to work beyond the car going to sleep. When the car wakes up the first time, the camera icon does come up but with an “x” where the red dot should be. The next time the car wakes up, the camera icon doesn’t come up at all. Afterwards, the drives are...

I just got the update to 39.7, but only after reorganizing my wifi boosters for better wifi in the garage. Fifteen minutes after I was able to finally connect to wifi with my Model 3, I got a notice that a software update was available. Update finished about 20 minutes later.

Sounds like me: Raleigh, NC 6/09/16 reservation 6/28/18 configuration (Silver Metallic, Aero, Black Interior, AWD, non-P, EAD) 9/06/18 delivery scheduled for 9/19 and added FSD 9/17/18 delivery canceled with no new date and no explanation at all. Promised updated delivery in hours, but I still...
