I pickedup a used Model X from Tesla recently. It had the old MCU1 and I paid to get it upgraded. Included software for FSD. We've scored over 95 over two weeks and have 100+ miles on autopilot... but no request to join the Beta. Does anyone know if it happens quickly after hitting...

Lot's of noise and discussion around potential rear facing 3rd row seats a month ago. Has there been any additional news on this front? I recall hearing someone was getting an early preview of a 3rd row seating model but never saw anything posted if this occured.

Looking for potential sellers... Ideally in midwest location. Our family is in Chicago.

Trying to rationalize what might actually make FSD more interesting. One thought was its ability to greatly reduce how often driver nag occurs during highway driving. Has anyone seen if this is being considered? Or is the driving nag more of a regulation related issue?

My family has been debating getting a MS with rear facing seats as our family hauler for the 5 of us... We've been eying up model X's for a while, but with the deteriorating seals, shudder shake, and other issues.... we're reconsidering a model S. Challenge is we haven't been able to find or...

My family has been debating getting a MS with rear facing seats as our family hauler for the 5 of us... We've been eying up model X's for a while, but with the deteriorating seals, shudder shake, and other issues.... we're reconsidering a model S. Challenge is we haven't been able to find or...

As many of us await what the plan will be for 7 seater design, I'm curious if there might be an aftermarket play to take the model S rear facing seat and retrofit into a Y on a 5 seater. I believe Tesla will do the aftermarket install into Model S's for around $1,800. Potential benefits...

It appears from multiple posts that the Rev D hardware isn't a permanent fix for the dreaded shudder. This means all MX owners may be stuck paying $2K/year (10-15K miles) in perpetuity for their vehicles, or alternatively learn to accept the issue. This doesn't seem to be a sustainable long...

I've been eyeing up 2016 90D's opposed to 75D's to get the couple extra miles... I've seen most getting between 220-235 miles fully charged. I just saw a posting for a 2017 75D that stated 235 miles at full charge. Is it true that there is barely any difference between the '16 90Ds and '17 75Ds?

I've been watching the inventory over the last several months. Domestic US 6 seater inventory was hovering around 250 units and now down to around 150 units for several weeks... with some price increases from lower supply. Anyone else noticed this? Is it due to potential holiday buying, or...

As we close in on year end, can anyone comment on remaining warranties on '16 MX 90D. Is the warranty 4 years from the date on door? So if I purchase Dec 30 '16... my warranty will expire Dec 30 '20? So essentially assuming it's under 50K mileage... I'd still have a full year?

I've been searching around everywhere and can't find any data regarding Model X range with 19" wheels. It appears if you take a 90D you gain around 35 miles range from 22" to 20". Essentially almost the equivalent of stepping up a battery size to 100D. I'm curious if you went down to a 19" or...

Does anyone know if you purchase a non-CPO used from say a private party and its out of warranty, are you able to go back to Tesla and pay to have a warranty added/extended? I'm guessing the answer is no... but want to confirm. Thanks!

Doing some research around used model X's and trying to find two pieces of data I believe I've seen here but can't find in the search. 1) A comparison chart of the different vintages with speed and range (ie. 2016 90D vs. 2019 Standard Range vs. 2017 100D) 2) A list of manufacture...

I have someone interested in purchasing my M3 and they requested for a loan transfer? I've never heard of this and typically have just done clean deals where buyer brings cash from their bank to the table and title is transferred. Are there risks on the seller side to this approach? Is this...

I'm in the process of selling my model 3 and looking to pickup a used Model X for the family. I noticed a significant difference in the touchscreen lag. Any insights on what model years the hardware may have been upgraded to a bit snappier MCU? Are any on par with the '18 M3's?

New job unfortunately means my M3 is going to find a new home soon. Anything unique I need to know selling a Tesla private sale? Do I run some kind of factory reset? Also, I heard there may be a bit of a challenge of the new buyer getting the App setup on a new account. Is this true? Any...

Wife and I are considering going to a single family car for us and our three kids. Currently driving a Volvo XC90 and Model 3, M3 will be traded in. We did a test drive yesterday of the Model X and determined the six seater could truly be our family car, however are trying to justify the...

Prepping some tax documents. Any insights on what is needed? Also- there is a chance I may sell my M3 this year, as job role is changing and no need for a commuter car. Does tax credit require you to own for a certain time period prior to selling? There won't be any profit made, so I'm...

I recall seeing a tweet from Elon recently that the LR AWD isn't being forgotten and will also see the 5% power increase. Has there been any update on when? Also- any actual track results from P-AWD or RWD M3's that have gotten the increase already? What kind of 0 to 60 results are we seeing?

Has there been an math or extrapolation regarding what a 5% power increase would tangibly drive? I've heard speculation of .1 sec of 0 to 60 time across the board, but wasn't sure what this might be based off of....

I've been trying to keep car attached to WIFi as much as possible. I just learned it appears it won't stay connected to my phone hotspot while driving, and only will use WiFi while in park. I left my phone in my car for several hours to see if I could snag the update... however when I returned...

Anyone in the midwest or Chicago area get the latest update? I've got my M3 on wifi today, no updates yet...

Any idea what is going on? Big push by Elon to get sentry mode out, Tesla does a cookie monster teaser to drum up even more interest, yet updates are barely even trickling out? The latest versions appear to be much improved regarding bugs. Any thoughts on why the slow roll now?

Anyone else experience little nuances where the cruise control could be more adaptable? For example if it's set to 55 MPH and the speed limit drops to 35 MPH (as shown on the screen), the cruise doesn't adjust on my M3. It requires you to hit the brake to disengage and then re-engage at the...

Anyone know if the Model 3 supports smart pre-conditioning or if there have been any discussions or rumors? I've had a couple times this week I forgot to pre-heat my car manually at work and would have loved for it to have remembered my schedule and warmed it up on its own. I believe the MS...

Anyone else noticed how warm your feet stay in your Model 3? In all my other ICE's there was always a ton of heat loss where my feet were in the cabin, even with heat cranked sometimes they'd still get chilly. In my M3 they are ALWAYS warms... even with heat only at 68. Is this perhaps due to...

In the event Tesla decides not to offer an uncorking of M3 to PM3 for strategic reasons, is it feasible an aftermarket hack might one day exist? For example in 10 years might one be able to install an 3rd party control system that allows full battery power to motors? Clearly would void...

I turned on manual heat today and cranked to HI and level 10. To my surprise cold air. If I switch to auto it goes hot. I switch back and I noticed below level 9 it starts blowing hot again. Anyone else seeing this?? 2018.50

Chicago got hit by a pretty decent ice storm today. I was worried about some of the reported issues with ice freezing door handles and doors shut and didn't want to get stuck at the office. I tried an interesting "hack" to avoid issue. My office has EV charging, so I plugged in this morning...

Common wisdom by Tesla owners is not to charge all the way "because its bad for battery longevity". While I don't doubt it may be better for the battery to partial charge, I'm curious if it really matters. We purchased high performing cars, why not charge them the all the way and enjoy the...

Quick question... Would extreme cold weather have any impact on the cars ability to hit max acceleration? Assume the battery is fully charged therefore a consistant SOC. Would the M3D still hit 4.3 0 to 60 in say 10F?

Model 3 just got delivered last week. Very pleased with the car. Doing some planning on how I best protect the investment from my toddlers. Anyone have any seat covers or protectors for back of driver and passenger seats that look nice and work well in Model 3? Any other tips from parents?

Anyone else excited to see what the advanced capabilities will allow? I believe it should be coming fairly soon if they are tracking. Didn't EM mentioned around 6 weeks in early November? I wonder how long it will take for them to rollout across entire fleet. I could see this being one they...

Spent some time browsing 0 to 60 website. One of the things that is very interesting with Tesla (EV's) is that adding AWD increases acceleration time, where traditional ICE's you give up time to the weight. No longer do you have to weigh performance against safety and road grip, you get both...
