It is only 4 months away. I don't think Tesla is coming out with a new model for robotaxi such as a new model 2. I think Elon is just planning to put in a more advanced version of FSD in slightly modified Model 3 or Model Y and send these out into the streets to compete with Waymo.

I ordered a 16 kW solar panel system with 3 Powerwalls from Tesla. But the project has been on hold because PG&E would not approve it unless we relocate the electrical main panel to another location, which will cost more than $10K (Several others in our neighborhood were told to do the same...

I recently had to have my 12V battery replaced. My Model 3 did give me a warning that the battery needed to be replaced, but I did not know that I have only few days to replace it before the car shuts down. Tesla Mobile Service came and replaced it under warranty. He told me that as soon as I...

I received the same warning about my 12V battery last month. I continued to drive the car. And about 3 days later, my Model 3 bricked in my garage. I could not get into my car to get my stuff out and I was too lazy to try to jump it. I scheduled for a next available mobile service appointment...

My wife accidentally smeared some hand sanitizer on our Model 3 back leather seat. Now the area smeared by the hand sanitizer is darker black. I tried to rub it off using a microfiber towel with water. I got some off but I can still see the darker color from certain angles. Any advice on a...

Thank you everyone for all your inputs. Now I feel very paranoid with the main electrical panel right next to the gas main. I most likely will go forward and relocate the main electrical panel. I am not sure if we can disconnect the gas. Our furnace, water heater, oven, range and dryer all use...

I ordered a 16.32 kW solar panels with 3 PowerWalls from Tesla last November. I just received an email from my project adviser that PG&E is requiring that I relocate and upgrade the main Panel. The cost will be between $10,000 to $20,000 and will take about 12 months longer. This is the email...

Thank you for sharing your experience. Is your DCC-10 paired with a NEMA 14-50 outlet or with a Tesla Connector?

I am currently trying to install a NEMA 14-50 outlet or possibly a Tesla Wall Connector. However, my sub panel is pretty full and cannot accommodate a NEMA 14-50 outlet. The electrician is recommending installing a DCC-10 EV Energy Management System between the sub panel and the NEMA 14-50...

We have one Model 3 now, but my wife may be getting another Tesla, probably a Model Y. We are finally going to have an electrician come and install a NEMA 14-50 outlet (right now, I am still using the 110v outlet to charge). Our electrical panel can probably accommodate at most one NEMA 14-50...

Electrek just reported that Tesla is going to offer bird's eye view with FSD: Tesla to offer bird’s eye view through Autopilot camera in FSD package - Electrek I read in previous posts that this was not possible because the cameras on Tesla do not cover all the angles to produce bird's eye...

I received an email to make appointment to upgrade to FSD HW 3.0. Can this be done by Tesla mobile service? Or is it better to get it done at a Tesla service center?

I understand that the driver is always responsible and in this case the driver is at fault. But I still cannot understand why Tesla programmed the collision avoidance assist to apply the brake only enough to slow down and minimize the impact instead of bringing the car to a complete stop when...

Try this: Dr. ColorChip Automotive Paint Chip Repair Kit - Dr. ColorChip: Automotive Paint Chip Repair Systems they have Tesla colors

Are we sure that the upgrade is going to improve the 0-60 mph acceleration down to 3.9 sec? is this a verified number? Isn't the performance 0-60 mph acceleration rated at 3.5 sec? or is it 3.2 sec now? If this is the case, 3.9 sec is still not as good as the Performance number and might not...

Is there a way to solve OP's problem besides trying to clone his original card key? 1. Put it on a flatbed tow truck and drive to the service station. But since he lives in TBilisi, Georgia, and the nearest service station is over 2000 mi away, then it sounds like he would need to cross border...

I bought this one and has not had any problem yet: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-MUF-64AB-AM-Plus-64GB/dp/B07D7P4SY4/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3N0LI6P9QXXSF&keywords=samsung+usb+drive+64gb&qid=1574963164&sprefix=Samsung+usb+drive%2Caps%2C209&sr=8-4 I had a cheaper USB drive before this one and it...

Some one smashed my Model 3 passenger side quarter panel window couple nights ago trying to see what was in my trunk. I scheduled an appointment with my Tesla app to bring the car in for the window replacement. Today, I received a text from Tesla service informing me that I can call and...

Some people are moving to portable solid state drives. These drive have so much more capacity and less likely to corrupt even after repeated writes to the drive: Portable SSD T5 1TB Memory & Storage - MU-PA1T0B/AM | Samsung US

I had the exact same problem happened to me few months ago. For me is was a problem with the USB flash drive. It partially failed/corrupted from the repeated writing from the Tesla DashCam. The drive would not allow writing to the drive anymore, but would allow reading of the existing files from...

It’s possible Tesla offered to Fedex the paperwork for signature, but Phlier declined and decided it was a great chance to take his new Model 3 for a spin—290 miles

Thank you for the reply regarding the outage. I have never had this happen to me before. My iPhone as a car key has never failed since I picked up my Model 3 in Sep 2018. This is the first time. I tried to log in again just 2 min ago, and I was able to log in now. So the outage is probably...

Today, I was logged out of my Tesla App. When I try to log back in, I got an error message: "There are no products linked to your Tesla account" I deleted the Tesla App and reinstall the app and tried to log in again. But I got the same error message. I went on my desktop computer and logged...

There were a lot of these glitches when the Dash Cam first came out and there were numerous threads on this. You can search the forum for this issue. I had similar problem initially. Here are 2 possible solutions. The 1st is a easier, quick and dirty method to try. Insert the Sabrent USB hub...

I am very excited that we get the hardware upgrade. I wonder if Tesla can just send out service rangers and swap out the HW3. I thinks it would make the process much faster instead of having thousands of people calling service centers to make appointments to bring the car in.

I feel OP’s Avatar picture is very fitting for this thread

Yeah, I was wondering why the chime did not sound when I hit the turn signal too. I feel that Tesla should reprogram it so that the chime sounds when the driver hits the turn signal and there is a car in the blind spot without waiting for the driver to actually start turning the steering wheel.

I just purchased FSD for $2000. I was wondering if this is what we are getting: If it is, I think it is totally worth it.

I just purchased FSD for $2000. Many are wondering what they will be getting. And there is not much concrete info on which to make their decisions. I found this old video from Tesla on FSD (from 11/2016): Would you buy FSD for $2000 (assuming you already have EAP now) if you can get this...

After you purchased the FSD, does your account page under "options" show the FSD option right away?

I have used McGuire ScratchX to easily wipe away stains on my PFF

Is this tweet from Elon real? The tweet was from 2/28/19. How come no one picked this up until now—2 weeks later? 5% increase in power. What does this mean in terms of improved 0 to 60 time? 4.2 sec? 4 sec?

This is probably the best explanation so far. Phantom breaking is an imperfection in obstacle detection and imaging processing. It does not explain why full stop is attempted when TACC is engaged but only 30 mph deceleration is attempted when TACC is not engaged.

I feel that Phantom Breaking is a separate issue. I have driven my Model 3 for a while now since last year, and I have not experienced even one phantom breaking/false breaking by AEB, even if there were small objects littered on the street that might falsely trigger AEB. I am more disturbed by...

Thank you for pointing this out. But this seems disturbing to me. "When frontal collision is considered unavoidable" why wouldn't anyone want to come to a complete stop, instead of just slowing down by 30 mph? Are there situations in which you wouldn't want to come to a complete stop? But when...

@MMBTUS This is the first time I have seen this chart/information. This seems to be very strange to me. For Model 3 without EAP option and no TACC, why would automatic emergency breaking (AEB) only slow down the car by only 25 mph when traveling between 30 mph to 90 mph? If there is an emergency...

Does anyone know what “not exactly symmetric” means? How about “long-term”?

Does anyone have any hard evidence that the $2000 upgrade to FSD includes the hardware upgrade to HW3? (not inferences, deductions, speculations, tarot card readings, or tea leaf pattern revelations) Evidence such as Elon”s tweet? (it seems like this is the gold standard now) I would totally...

I am very happy to be in this luck category: 3.) 2018Q3 Model 3 AWD Early Orders. AWD at 4K. Cheaper premium paint. Free LTE. But I wonder if there is a "stealth" lucky Category out there: Owners who ordered Model 3 AWD during the 2018 Q3 chaotic 5000 cars per week ramp up and received 3P-...

Can one just order a white dash or a wood dash from the Factory or service center? You can just switch it out every few months depending on your mood. Approximately how much would it cost?

If anyone can hack the Model 3 AWD and uncork the power, then he/she get a free Model 3 from Tesla also: https://electrek.co/2019/01/14/tesla-model-3-giveaway-hacker/ I am surprised that no one has done it yet.

Does this include installation or just the windshield?

I did some research before on how to remove scratches from glass. I have not done it yet. But it seems like the compound to use is called Cerium Oxide. You can get this at Amazon...

Yesterday was not that cold. It was in the 50's. I have driven in the last few weeks with temp in the low 40's and I did not get the warning. The psi did drop to 38. So, I will add more air/pressure to increase to 42 psi. I was wondering do people get out their air pumps every 3 months to add...

I picked up my Model 3 in late September 2018. At that time, I remember all 4 tires showed 40 psi. Yesterday, I got the first low tire pressure warning with all 4 tires showing 38 psi. So, it took about 3 months for me to get the low tire pressure warning (from 40 to 38 psi). Is this what...

This is a cool Easter Egg! It would be a blast showing it to my kids. I want it. I want it now!

I Checked my car today. There was no problem with the horn. Sep 2018 92XXX VIN

I also noticed the passenger winder lowered slightly today, and no one sat in the back But this is the first time that I have noticed it.

So, few days ago a small pebble hit my windshield. It did not crack the windshield but instead left 2 tiny scratches. I can just barely feel it with my finger nail. The 2 scratches is right in the middle of my field of vision on the driver's side. I am trying to figure out a way to remove the...

Thank you for all the info on initiating an update. I will just wait for now until I get the OTA update pushed to me, since I don't have any bug with my car right now. But I do like the feature of requiring password to turn off the mobile access.
