Definitely not the 1st time. Lots of threads on this subject, just search. I had fixed passenger seat controls 3 or 4 times by now, but one of the buttons has broken off again. I'm not fixing it anymore, until right before I'm selling the stupid thing. You sure you didn't mean the above...

Sorry to hear about your experience. An open door would prevent ANY locking attempt from succeeding. Automatic or manual. Always keep an eye on miscreants hanging around your car. As you leave or return to your car. Even if your car is locked. a

This is all HIGHLY subjective. Model 3 interior is cheap, and plasticky. Anything you can do to hide it (wraps, covers, etc.), might be worthwhile for some, and worthless for others. The only functional additional you can make is a line-of-sight mounted speedometer/nav screen. Again, of value...

It was a BS post on a BS disinformation platform. Most of us have ZERO interest in providing extra advertising revenue stream to social media sites.

Personally, I've used 3 Ton ESCO jack stands (with an occasional hockey puck) for 20+ years. Solid, stable, easy to use. Not the cheapest. https://www.amazon.com/ESCO-10498-Jack-Stands-Capacity/dp/B01J5ZB8K6?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=A1AUFI5NHGNZ61

Sounds and smells don't transmit well over ASCII. What does that "reduced traction" mean? Short answer is - yes. Take the car to a Tesla SC. But, please, come up with a more precise description of your ongoing problem, so that they can reproduce and validate what's bothering you. "Reduced...

Shilling for Elon much? Elon had contributed ZERO to Thai kids rescue from the cave, other than inserting himself as a distraction. Elon had NOTHING to do with the rescue, though he tried hard to get a some attention (as per usual) out of a potential tragedy. Elon wants to be in charge of the...

If you are a type of a person who values factory and extended warranties, you REALLY should not be looking into 100+K mile cars. No, there will not be a factory warranty on that car. No, Tesla will not sell you extended warranty (they do make an offer right before 50K factory warranty runs...

It's BAD, and getting worse. Appointment went times have been creeping up north of 3-4 weeks for the last few years. Tesla is simply not expanding SC footprint fast enough to keep up with the number of cars on the road. If you need something minor, a Ranger may be of service (if available in...

A few things to keep in mind for the future: Tesla software updates are 99.9% fluff. And that fluff is never well tested nor debugged. There is absolutely no rush to install them. Especially when you are away from home. You can drive with an inoperative / black screen. Just put the car in...

Then: Do as they told you, or Go to a SC and ask for your money back unless they fix the config right there and then. HTH, a

You two clearly got juked by Tesla. Time to go back, in person, to the SC that promised you FSD transfer, and pester them until they fulfill the promise. I do hope that you have it in writing, somewhere !? Good luck, a

TLDR. What's the bottom line?

That's a meaningless statement. Each tire brand has dozens of models of tires. Some are definitely better than others. Some are more expensive than others. Using All Season tires in the summer is a definite downgrade in handling, performance, and safety. In the name of the price. An insanely...

There is a LOT of fishy stuff going on with the original (sight unseen) obscene estimate! Good news, indeed, but is there any evidence that ANYTHING rusted to cause the brake fluid leak in the first place? Or are they still guessing? The above is a package of comically false assertions. No...

Why would 710kg / 1565 lbs rating be a problem? 🤷‍♀️ Has Model Y recently porked-up from the rated 4,154 to 4,398 lbs to somewhere north of 1565*4 = 6260 lbs? a

Maybe if he did a bikini review in a jacuzzi. Time to go back on the meds?

Munro used to be tech-minded, but lost his touch (and key staff) a while back. Now he just verbally pleasures Elon at every turn., This time around, over a loner (Cali MFG plate) Model 3. The review is pure fluff. The opposite of technical or quantifiable. The "new" model is quicker and...

Why did you put a non-matching brand and tire on your car? Has anything else happened as you were collecting nails in tires? Hit anything? Ran over anything? How did you manage to imbed a nail in the SIDE of a tire? This does not matter. Alignment is not a mileage-based activity. That is a...

If Musk didn't jump at an opportunity to invest into Tesla (no, he did not found it), someone else would have done that. A few lucky decisions by an investor does not make him immune from doing boneheaded stuff down the road. a

Or not at all: https://www.businessinsider.com/meta-cto-andrew-bosworth-replaced-tesla-with-mercedes-amg-eqs-2024-3

If it's an insurance claim - then the answer does not matter. If you don't have insurance - then you are in whole another world of pain. If two driver side doors got hit, then so did the B-pillar. Getting that one back in shape is not a DIY job. Take the car to a body shop certified to work...

That's a very foolish course of action. Hardly something I would brag about! :eek:

Of course NOT. Lease is a financial contract on a specific vehicle. No automaker allows lease car swapping. Read your lead contract and see if there is an early termination clause, and if so, what are the penalties. Do expect to find something outrageou. The only "easy" way out of the lease...

This sucks, but it's not unusual. Rotors and pads are wear items, just like tires. These are NEVER covered by the OEM warranty. No, it's just a lame-ass guess they gave you, since they don't know. How do they know the rotors are warped? Unless they took them off the car and measured the...

Driving by Braille? That's left (driver-side) front of your car, and a parking garage pillar snuck up on you? Bumper is toast. Fender can be PDR-ed back into shop (Paintless Dent Repair). You should be able to fix everything for under ~$1.5K. Search locally for PDR techs with good reviews...

That sounds fishy as hell. Either your credit history and income are totally fishy, and the $560/month lease payment pushes you over the "line", or your loan officer doesn't know what he is doing and/or wants to ditch you. Either way, the answer is to get a quotes from 2-3 other banks and CUs...

Drawing generalization from a sample size of 3? Not smart. Strike OTA updates - they are meaningless and mostly worthless. Charging stations are a "meah" for me. I'm on my 3rd EV in ~12 years, and my frequency of utilizing EV chargers outside of home and work is probably below 2% of total...

That is the EXACT opposite of what every reviewer shares, and what I have experienced on a Highland test drive. Even Tesla fan-boys are trashing the stupid turn-signal stalk delete :

Step 1: Remove wheel, wheel liners, and unclip front of the plastic rocker panel piece. Step 2: Apply POR-15 Stop Rust Kit. As instructed. At least 2-3 coats. Step 3: Buy Tesla OEM mud-flaps to protect that exposed metal from future debris impacts, then install them after the surface has been...

Actually, they do. Yeah, it's amazing. Waiting 45+ minutes for a ride that doesn't show up is fantastic. And no Uber takes a ride from my home to the SC. So much better than having a loaner! It's a courtesy customer-focused automakers and dealership extend to their customers. Tesla is not...

I donno about that. These guys sound lovely:

A claim is a claim. There is no such thing as "withdrawing" a claim. Once you fail a claim, it's on your record and will be considered as part of future rate increases. Why not call them an ask? Our speculations on the subject is worthless. a

That makes ZERO sense. Initiating turn signals is still and "interaction" that is required by law in most jurisdictions. It can be intuitive and easy (stalks), or it can be unintuitive and suboptimal (touch buttons). An "interaction" will still take place. You mis-spelled that. It should be...

That was not wise. You do NOT want tires of different model, never mind make, on the same axle. But what's done is done. Alignment has nothing to do with your wheel vibrations. In all likelihood, you have either a bent wheel, or lost weights that were glued to one of the wheels during...

The key is the price, which drives the value proposition for buying used vs. new. I would strongly advise to take the perspective vehicle's VIN and mileage, and run it by Carvana to see what you would get for it if you were selling that used car private. Be prepared to be shocked about the gap...

To correct a few misconceptions: You CAN position the side & rear view mirrors to eliminate blind spots. You do have to position side view mirrors properly, and very few folks know how or bother do so since that skill is not taught in driver's ed (I've never rented a car with properly...

Not really. I shopped (for other cars), and the going rate for quality workmanship and materials is ~$500/panel. Or $5-7K for the whole car. $6,500 from factory is not a great deal, but it's not terrible either. Because no-one actually asked for a fridge look. Other then Elon. To make it...

Good condition how? Have you got inside the cars to check them out first-hand? I've never been in a rental car with 50+K miles on them that was anything other than beat to hell. Never mind 110+K mile samples! The range was never truly 300 miles when new. Tesla is notorious for grossly...

So you only want to promote your biased opinion, and don't want to hear others? And you think that will fly on the Internet? Really? That's impractical and unsafe. You should be looking up, ahead, in the direction of travel, before you change direction. Anything that takes your eyes off the...

Great - you've chicken proofed your parking spot. I thought your had problems with rats, not chicken? First of all - sorry for your problems. Second of all - you need professional help. I think you will agree that amateur DIY approach has proven to be insufficient. Option 1: Get a cat (as...

What exactly do you mean under "EU or ME" navigation? Is nav working? Are maps working? Is connectivity working with the US SIM? What country is that? Ruzzia?

Same way as FSD. Easy-peasy! That, plus inductive charging off the roads (aka Dynamic Wireless Power Transfer (DWPT)). BTW, Halcyon is a beautiful looking concept car. a

It's will be the same car, minus a few frivolous infotainment features (music streaming, live traffic, online nav). You could remedy all of the above by either: 1). Paying Tesla $10/month. 2). setting WiFi hotspot with your phone, and using the data plan on your cell. #1 is viable for only as...

Correction - they SHOULD stay with the car. In reality, they may, or may not. It's upto luck of Tesla account management Russian roulette. They have been reports of AP/FSD getting removed after purchaser, with no recourse. For no known reason. There have also been reports of happy AP/FSD...

You are kidding, right? An updates ALWAYS changes something. It may, or may not, be something you care about it. And the change may, or may not, be material to your driving experience. But something ALWAYS changes with OTA updates. Cheers!
