    Got 3 errors--Vehicle may shut down unexpectedly but next appointment is 3 weeks

    Errors: VCFRONT_a192, VCFRONT_a182, VCFRONT_a402. First message says 12v battery needs to be replaced. But other errors are very ominous: some electrical equipment will be shutdown, car may not start, etc. Should I be worried and be careful where I drive until the battery is replaced? Is there...

    Is it stupid to buy new car but delay FSD purchase?

    The EV tax credit if it ever passes, gives a good chunk of change to new owners but the purchase price is limited to $55,000. The Model 3 that I want is listed at around $52,000 without FSD so that the $12,000 FSD would put it over the limit and thus the car would be ineligible for the credit...

    The Fasten Seat Belt, Garage Door Opener, and Phone Call Notification banners all occupy the same space on the left hand side of the screen below the car animation. The problem is that if one of the banners is visible the others are hidden. Tesla needs to stack these banners when there is more...

    I'm interested in knowing how my car knows where it is on the map I don't think there are GPS receivers so is it inertial navigation? Dead reckoning? The reason I ask is that since my last update (2021.12.25.7) my car screen-map shows my car location sometimes blocks away from its actual...

    2nd time in 9 days software install was corrupted. First 2021.12.25.6 and now 2021.12.25.7. Error message says, "Software download needed. Contact service." Last time it took them 2 days to push a new download which fixed the problem. There must be a faster way to get this fixed. Seems like...

    NoA Challenge for Atlanta area drivers

    My Tesla has always had problems navigating a route from I-85 east to I-285 south. (Called spaghetti junction by the locals.) I'm on 2019.28.2 now and the autopilot still is too scary to be safe in my opinion. To go from I-85 east to I-285 south, the exit from I-85 has three lanes. The left...
