    FSD = Flaky Student Driver

    I hate to admit it, but after 1 full day of FSD beta, I have similar feelings. I am a huge Tesla fan, and am pretty happy with regular autopilot, as it is usually quite smooth and confident. My only grip with traditional AP is lane position in curves. It often reacts to the start of curves...

    FREE 2021 Model 3 Carpet Floor Mats

    Yes - FREE. I have replaced my carpet mats, and realized that I will never use them again. I am willing to give them to a member for local pickup only at the Milwaukee Tesla Service Center on Silver Spring. I used them for 3 months before my Tesla Shields came, but they still look close to...

    Does anyone else still prefer to drive their gas cars?

    I would not mind an ICE car as a toy of some sort, such as a Miata or a Boxster. But as a daily driver, I have zero interest in going back to a gas powered car. I would not miss the sea of bland ICE Powered cars on the road today (i.e CRV's, Equinox's, Explorers, etc.) To me, an EV powerplant...

    What did you name your Tesla?

    I am picking up my Model 3 on Wednesday.....Fartin' Carl My wife could not believe that I would name a beautiful $55k Tesla Fartin' Carl, so I told her she could name it. After reading this entire thread, and stewing on it for a few days, she said Carl it is. Farting is his super power. 🤣

    Thinking About Selling Focus ST For a Model 3

    Wow - I stumbled upon this thread that I created almost exactly 1 year ago, so I figured that I would provide an update. First of all, I did end up selling my beloved Focus ST last June, and I also now own quite a bit of Tesla........stock. I also am driving an EV these days - One that I...

    LR RWD vs LR AWD Revisted - Range vs Winter Performance

    Then you are well aware of our conditions and terrain. I have run dedicated snow tires for most of my driving career, so I am extremely familiar with their benefits. Personally, I am more concerned about the effects of cold on the car than I am worried about grip with snow tires. My Focus ST...

    LR RWD vs LR AWD Revisted - Range vs Winter Performance

    By nimble, I mean 270 pounds less weight over the front axle, thereby reducing the amount of mass opposing a change in direction. Like taking a line backer out of your frunk nimble. :D

    LR RWD vs LR AWD Revisted - Range vs Winter Performance

    Excellent feedback from everyone - I especially appreciate the comments from those that have owned both versions! For my needs, it certainly sound like the RWD version would be all I really need. Being that I am more concerned about cold weather performance and efficiency, I think that I would...

    LR RWD vs LR AWD Revisted - Range vs Winter Performance

    I am very interested in a Model 3, but I keep waffling back and forth between RWD and AWD. They both offer very distinct advantages, and although I have seen some folks wish to upgrade to AWD, I haven't seen anyone wishing they would have chosen RWD. As I see it, here are the advantages of...

    Thinking About Selling Camaro SS 1LE For a Model 3

    I'm in a similar position - I bought my Focus ST 6 years ago, with the intention of keeping it 10-12 years. This was still the plan up until a month ago when I went with a friend to test drive a Model 3. After that drive, I was completely sold on the car, and have not been able to shake it...

    Thinking About Selling Focus ST For a Model 3

    Glamisduner, can you post a full size image of your car, as that is exactly the combination I am interested in! White over white with the 18 Aero wheels, with the covers removed. Or if you have seen other photos of that combination, please send me some links, as I have been striking out with...

    Thinking About Selling Focus ST For a Model 3

    Great feedback on the heat and defrost - Other than a reduction in range, it seems to work well enough. With respect to range, 160 miles on the worst days is still fine, as my commute is less than 30 miles round trip. Interesting info on the mobile service. I was not aware this seems to be...

    Thinking About Selling Focus ST For a Model 3

    First time poster - Sorry for a similar thread as 1LE McQueen has about his Camaro, but I am battling a similar question with my Ford Focus ST. I bought my Focus ST back in 2013, shortly after it came out. It is the the top trim ST3 package (leather Recaro seats, Nav, HID lighting), white...
