    Tesla FSD Beta Release 10.5 2021.36.8.8 - 10.5.1?

    It is NOT permanent. The note says it is for "the remainder of the trip". So a new trip starts when you put the car in Park and then put it into Drive.

    Got My 2021 VIN!

    Tesla VIN numbers are not consecutive. They bounce around a lot. What really matters is the build date.

    High pitched noise from drive unit

    That's the same sound I'm hearing. My LR AWD M3 is a 2018 built 12-6-2018. With 17,126 miles.

    Blog Report: Model 3 Inspired Compact Hatchback Planned for Europe

    I would trade in my Model 3 for a smaller, Prius-sized hatchback. But the new car should use the upcoming higher-density battery cells so I could still get over 300 miles range. And hatchbacks are NOT stuck in the 80's as another posted stated. Toyota has sold more than 10 million Prius...

    You can buy a Tesla-to-J1772 adapter for about $190 to allow your Tesla charger to charge any other EV.

    First Time Driving a Tesla- Just got my MY

    Regarding the jerking of acceleration and braking, I strongly recommend using "Chill Mode". You can access it via Controls > Driving > Acceleration. Chill limits acceleration for a slightly smoother and gentler ride. It makes the accelerator pedal travel further to get the same amount of...

    Help: Stain on white seat

    I have the white seats also and I have used Holy Cow Concentrated Cleaner to get out even the toughest stains, without damaging the synthetic fabric at all. Use full strength, don't dilute.

    Model 3 Nature Pictures

    1.75-acre spring-fed swimming pool in far west Texas. Unfortunately it was closed until Spring 2020 for repairs.

    TACC - Set to Current Speed?

    As of March 17, 2019 this STILL hasn't been fixed. I'm guessing it will be fixed when those of us that have FSD get the HW3 upgrade and FSD has much more capabilities.

    Don't worry about the VIN. They don't necessarily use up VINs sequentially. I also had a low VIN but not as low as yours, delivered on Dec. 21 (same as you). My VIN was 112xxx and it was built on Dec. 6, 2018, while cars built on that date were in the 181xxx range.

    "Off menu" waiting room

    Though I really wanted a RWD with white interior and LR battery, I took delivery of the same except with AWD on Dec. 21, 2018. I got the $7500 tax rebate, but paid $4000 for the AWD. And I got the rebate right away instead having to wait until the 2019 tax season. So basically I got AWD for $250...

    When did AP gain your trust?

    I tried AP a few times but to me it's a little scary. It's just not ready for prime time yet. I have always used cruise control in previous cars, probably 95% of the time. So I use TACC now with my Model 3, but I have some issues with it. I use Chill mode because the acceleration of this car is...

    Just got an email from my Inside Delivery Advisor, Matt: "Congratulations! Your new Tesla has been built and is ready to be delivered." He wanted pictures of my trade-in and photocopy of the title for that car. Done. Just 6 calendar days after making changes to correct "unbuildable"...

    It took 2 extra days from the expected date when my build details got updated to AWD from RWD, but now it is there. See below screen shot. It still doesn't show my off-the-menu Full Self Driving option, but the OA said they successfully added it, and for the $3K promotion price. Now I'm just...

    No, I paid the normal price to upgrade from RWD to AWD. I didn't really want AWD (heavier car, another motor to worry about breaking down, less range than RWD (310 vs. 334), higher price, don't need AWD here in Houston) but it was the only way I could get white interior with LR battery :(

    I just got off the phone with a wonderful lady in the sales dept. at Tesla. She immediately knew about the LR RWD with white interior problem and she also knew one of the people who actually worked on the email that we all got. She connected with him and he was able to switch me right away to an...

    Deliveries before Dec 31 as promised by Tesla

    I think eligibility means your car is delivered before the end of the year because starting Jan. 1 the tax credit is reduced to $3750 (and you won't be eligible for the $7500 amount any more). You also have to have at least $7500 of income tax liability in order to claim the full credit. Its...

    I finally got a reply from [email protected]: Long Range Rear Wheel Drive with a White interior was never offered as an option through our design studio. It was never manufactured. At this current time we are working on fixing as many of these orders as we could to ensure you receive a...

    Well said, AZ-3. I totally agree with everything you said. Thanks for articulating what is actually happening here!

    After sleeping on what to do about the Tesla email giving me only two options, I decided I don't want either option. So I called Tesla earlier today and after 35 minutes on hold (13 minutes for sales dept. and 22 minutes for DA) I talked to a delivery advisor to ask her what happens if I reject...

    I got the email today at 1:33pm also (Houston time). I agree its poorly worded. It says With continued streamlining of our manufacturing process and the discontinuation of the Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive Model 3... but they are only discontinuing it for the white interior. They still are...
