    Model 3 - 2.5 Computer All I got in this upgrade was Polish Language...That feels even more depressing than when you just get bug updates... Still annoyed at not yet having street traffic light improvements

    Slacker downgraded to free slacker?

    Hopefully an informative post... When they started to charge the $9.99 connectivity fee, I decided to see if I could live without slacker and tunein from Tesla, and instead use Amazon’s Alexa Auto. After a full month of use, I definitely prefer Alexa Auto for music and everything else Alexa...

    "Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

    Disagree on that one... when I bought the car in Dec 2018 there was an option to pay for autopilot features but no option to pay for full autopilot...I had assumed I bought the full thing. Unless you had done extensive research you would not have understood you were buying a non-complete...

    "Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

    Im a Tesla fanboy like most of us out there (50%, the others are Tesla fan girls), but I’m starting to get price gouging fatigue... $9.99 for connectivity (which is the only way to get AM radio stations $2000 for performance upgrade $4000-6000 for full autopilot after I thought I already had...

    Anyone been seeing an increase in Loading Errors with streaming?

    The “loading error” bug has been going on for about 2-3 weeks, for sure on 32.1 but maybe earlier. You can recreate the bug easily by selecting a podcast and then choosing an older episode. If this doesn’t immediately error out, just select a different podcast altogether from your recent...

    Perfect beer holder

    I carry a 50oz insulated mug in there which is a similar size to your growler. The other place I’ve found that works (without it rolling around) is the back left corner of the trunk.

    Love the remote Honk on the Tesla app

    So I’ve now decided one of the best features of the Tesla is the ability to honk the horn remotely using the app. I realise this might sound ridiculous, but you need to understand the context. My kids love sitting in my car playing Atari games, while I am going into various stores (drug...

    Illinois EV registration proposal to increase fee to $1000/year!

    Just read on electrek that the tax will be $248 vs $29 or so I was paying with my Illinois EL plates Question 1. When does this come into effect? 2. To qualify for the $29 registration you had to get EL plates. If I wanted customized plates, does anyone know what the cost would be?

    Who has installed automatic trunk closing system for model 3

    so it looks like some crew (tesland) have finally created what most of us have been after. An automatic trunk opener and closure system. Looks like they are a European company without a us footprint. Question: Anyone order and install this in the USA? How much was installation? How much were...

    Vegan “leather” chipping off

    Saw that Taptes (I think it was them) is selling leather seat covers. I’m not a fan of covers, but I hate the vegan seats and they are wearing poorly. Anyone tried them? Do you know they are car seats or does it feel legitimate?

    Want an Dash Button to activate Siri

    It does for me too, but it requires you to take your phone out of your pocket or bag and put it out in front of you. I need something that can trigger the “Hey Siri” when the device is placed in a non active listening environment.

    Want an Dash Button to activate Siri

    I like most Tesla users with an iPhone have to rely on “HEY Siri” to call people and do other Apple tasks (especially because Tesla Voice Activation doesn’t understand my thick Aussie Accent) The challenge is, if the phone is in your pocket, Hey Siri, doesn’t work. What would be awesome if...

    SR+ homelink

    If this was just a software update it is an easy incremental revenue source for Tesla, but I wonder if this becomes a true incremental revenue source now they have to install something at the service Center ? And if so, what else are they going to start adding.

    Why can I only get 65kW when Tesla states it has 120Kw

    I headed to supercharge at Pleasant Prarie, Wisconsin tonight. The map told me that it can deliver 120kW Max. Yet my car, Model 3 is only pulling 62kW. I am the only one charging and the battery would be warm, as I drove 45 mins to get here and it is 44 degrees outside. Can someone please...

    Suggestion: Deactivate easy entry when the car detects a rear passenger

    Hey..simple suggestion for the Tesla software engineers. Can we have a setting that detects when a rear passenger is in the car and therefore deactivates the “Easy Entry” setting. Normally I am a solo driver with no occupants, but every weekend when I’m with my kids, their legs get smooshed...
