    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    Yes, I have tried assertive. Have also tried playing around with following distance and such. Kind of assume FSD overrides all that in the interest of having consistent feedback-loop data for improvement? Regardless, I haven't been able to perceive any difference based on those settings, though...

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    As I've said before, no one is rooting for Tesla and for FSD's success more than me. Have now owned multiple Tesla's (not a flex, I am just a foolishly committed early adopter, always drooling for the latest Tesla tech - wish I was smart enough to have bought their stock rather than upgrading...

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    Yes. Here in Los Angeles, more often than not FSD Beta is unable to handle tight right turns, even at lighted/stop sign intersections. If the curb sticks out even a little, for example, immediately before initiating the turn the car jerks left, over-correcting for curb at last minute, starts to...

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    I am as big a Tesla fanboy as there is. Just got 10.3 this afternoon. I am so bummed to say that over the last couple of hours I have found that this iteration of autopilot is utterly worthless on West Los Angeles city streets, and requires constant, aggressive intervention. Really shockingly...

    I see so many model Y owners having issues. Would you buy again?

    Absolutely and my wife wants one when her Range Rover lease ends in a few months.

    Late 2017 Model S 100D, HW3/MCU2 $61,900

    Yes, it had FSD as indicated in ad. Yes, it sold at full asking price, which I believed was always fair (slightly above the mid-range of the KBB private party value) and became more than fair when FSD price increased during listing period. So, I did not negotiate with anyone, and did not feel it...

    Ride quality on 19’s vs 21 inch wheels

    I've had both - changed to 19's very reluctantly because I so prefer the look of the 21's - and the ride with the 19's is much softer and I am glad I did it. But it is definitely a matter of personal taste, since the ride with the 21's (and air suspension) is still pretty terrific, IMO. If cost...

    Late 2017 Model S 100D, HW3/MCU2 $61,900

    The free supercharging I have is from my original purchase of a Model S, VIN #701 or so (if I recall correctly) 10 years ago, transferred from that to next and then to this S. Or at least as I understand it. This S was purchased in August or September and built and delivered in October 2017...

    Late 2017 Model S 100D, HW3/MCU2 $61,900

    I've seen some comments here suggesting charging is not transferable to a new owner. I asked the sales person who helped me with ordering the new vehicle at the store - though with the desire to transfer it to the new car, of course, as was the case with my prior purchases. He said it "stays...

    Late 2017 Model S 100D, HW3/MCU2 $61,900

    Autotrader for some reason defaults to 210 and has no option to change. As text from me in ad notes, it charges over 300. I haven’t range charged in a long time so I don’t know upper limit but I have seen no noticeable degradation. It is a 100D. Not the Performance model.

    Late 2017 Model S 100D, HW3/MCU2 $61,900

    I am selling my October 2017 Model S to replace with an X due to family needs. This is my 3rd Model S and has been treated with all the care that one would expect from a crazy Tesla fanboy. MCU2/HW3 upgrade of 2.5 original hardware, told by Tesla the free supercharging "goes with the title"...

    Yellow screen? Force Tesla to Replace it!

    I don't think Tesla can plausibly deny this is a warranty issue, should this ever be tested in litigation or arbitration, as they have replaced many screens under warranty (mine included) prior to changing the policy. Seems to me the replaced screens are, under any reasonable interpretation, an...

    Phantom Window

    Also a "no" here to the knee hitting the button thing. No question in each case, while parked in same location for several days, window rolled down "on it's own." In fact, the second time it happened (last week), I was out of town and my car was parked at my office. My space happens to be...

    Phantom Window

    I have had the same thing happen (2017 Model S 100D) - once the driver's side window and more recently, while away on a week-long trip, the front passenger side window. 100% certain they were rolled up when I left the car parked and a few days later they were mysteriously rolled down. Did you...

    Tesla Radio Flyer for sale in SoCal

    I received my Radio Flyer referral gift - it is unboxed but unused, unassembled, and still in original plastic wrap. If interested please PM me with your best offer - seems from what I have read that $300+ is fair. Southern California people who can swing by my home in Santa Monica to pick it...

    Mystery item in rear cubby at delivery

    Nope. I was told iPhone charging adapter/parts no longer included and had to order separately from Tesla, which I did. Took delivery in October, btw.

    Mystery item in rear cubby at delivery

    Thanks. Weird that they deliver the car with it just lying there. Would expect they'd have a place for it to be securely stored. Wasn't that way in my prior S85.

    Mystery item in rear cubby at delivery

    Anybody know what this is? It was in the back in the cubby under the floor of the rear hatch when I picked up my new Model S 100D a month ago. Didn't lift the cubby cover when I inspected the car at delivery center, so I didn't notice this sitting in there until I got home. Very heavy metal...

    Model S Software/Firmware wishlist

    Tesla Email: $30,000 Off P100D!!!!

    Where does the purported information about an interior refresh come from? Just speculation and aging of current Model S design, or has there been some more concrete information released? Looking at upgrading my S85 and salespeople at local store say no refresh in the offing, but I am aware of...

    12/2014 Build Model S85 w/AP1

    Thanks for sharing your POV. As indicated in listing, open to best offer and in any case, goal is to check on value before deciding whether or not to accept Tesla trade-in offer. Which is, for what it is worth, somewhat above the high end of the range you suggest is the appropriate market...

    12/2014 Build Model S85 w/AP1

    Tesla under network attack today?

    My December 2015 Model S running 8.0 started doing the spontaneous re-boot thing today. Twice in 30 minutes while driving, with one 5-minute session parked in the middle of that time period. Is anyone else experiencing this today (and so I could then assume it is a fleet issue and not something...

    Has Autopark ever scuffed your rims?

    I love autopark and use it all the time. Still, had one circumstance where rear rim was scuffed pretty badly. it was a location where i autopark frequently, with no issue. I believe the only difference was that the car (truck, actually) parked in front of the space i was entering was much...

    Integrated solar roofs

    Would it be better to house batteries in a unit that can be buried adjacent to or under the home? Temperature largely controlled by the nature of underground insulation, contained fire risk, no need to find a place to hang a powerwall, and reduces the issue fire departments have with solar...

    Firmware 8.0

    Self parking works great for me in my December 2014 S. Parallel and horizontal spaces. Use the parallel parking feature pretty much everyday, and still marvel at how it gets it perfectly right in just 2 moves each time.

    Supercharger - Mammoth Lakes, CA (8 V2 stalls)

    What to do with phone? Mount?

    With just the mount on, only a bit. With the phone on the mount, yeah, ac does not blow directly on me as forcefully and the phone gets super cold. I don't think that is harmful to the phone but I can't say I know for sure. The reduced ac volume hasn't bothered me, but perhaps if I lived in a...

    When does version 7.0 beta come out?

    "Soon." Or should I say, "Tesla soon." In all seriousness, I do wonder if the Space X rocket loss will increase Elon's "conservativeness" in letting features like autopilot, which include some inherent risk of unanticipated advererse incidents, out into the world. Seems a reasonable reaction...

    Premium Rear Console

    Got mine yesterday, and for those considering purchasing, I'd give it a qualified thumbs up. Looks good, well designed cup holders and storage, great match to materials in car. Unlike the front center console, however, visually it is clearly an "add-on. I was a little bummed that the first...

    Northrup Grumman (was Orbital Sciences) Antares / Cygnus

    Doug - I am not an expert, but a friend who works on the financial side of the space launch industry responds thusly: these launches are fully insured. An escape/recovery system would make sense for a payload-only launch if the incremental cost of the escape/recovery system (roughly, amortized...

    Got Firmware 6.0?

    Still no 6.0. Told by service advisor today that they are "tweaking" 6.0 to resolve some issues so it is not unusual not to have it yet, den though my VIN is in mid 8,000's. No ETA provided.

    I just ordered the Hankook's from Tire Rack and thus far, the experience has been excellent. Got email from Tesla service after dropping off my car for something else, saying all 4 needed to be replaced and they provided pricing for new OEM's. Went online and ordered Hankooks from Tire Rack...
