    Tesla Cybrtrk

    Sort of feels like a truck DeLorean. But not in a good way. Not going to convert the truck crowd IMO.

    Auto Pilot $3000 [Update: that is the price for FSD for owners with EAP]

    Tell them you want to buy it and insist on $3k! lol

    Do valet drivers need instructions?

    Use this link in your browser in your car and set it as a favorite Fun Tesla Screens, Dashboards, Valet Messages & More Then use valet 2 and leave it up when you valet. You can even change the language. The others are fun too.

    Video: Driver left scene of an accident / Update: driver caught

    I’m not really sure it’s an assumption. It sounds like a question. And I’m inclined to believe IF this were a recidivist incident, that would impact some opinions. However, there is nothing at present that would indicate that.

    Video: Driver left scene of an accident / Update: driver caught

    Not the best legal decision either. You were kind not to call the cops for a hit and run.

    Got a new, white Model 3, and the quality is dreadful [Humor: Model 3 toy]

    I don’t see how you can blame Tesla when the car was even wrapped on delivery.

    Update from Tesla service on screen yellowing

    Geez. That’s bad.

    I pickup my M3 tomorrow. Any suggestions?

    Take a checklist with you and go through it. You can find one if you search this site.

    Had a Run-In with a deer on Monday

    That’s actually been one of the FSD challenges they discussed in autonomy day: Animals in the roadway. Deer can be very dangerous. I’m glad you (and your furry adversary) are okay.

    Down Payment with CC

    I paid the $2500 deposit with a card via Apple Pay. Very easy.

    Interesting talk with Tesla Support on software 2019.16.2

    Unfortunately, neither worked.

    Model 3....embarrassing moment

    Actually, what I find embarrassing is that my last car was on its last leg when I bought my Model 3. It had a pretty consistent oil leak that wasn’t bad enough to fix. So the mechanic solution was “just put in some oil when it gets low.” I gave up the garage parking spot to my lovely bride so...

    Thank you both. I’ll try this.

    Interesting talk with Tesla Support on software 2019.16.2

    I have lost all visualization of lanes and other vehicles from this update. I have both soft and hard reset to no avail. Does anyone have a solution?

    Tesla cutting costs and refusing to repair paint damage

    This. Get it on the due bill. Every time.

    Walkaway lock at home ... I don’t want it

    Now that you mention it, the Stats App also has a Watch app that lets you lock and unlock from your Apple Watch too.

    Walkaway lock at home ... I don’t want it

    Two options. Tap the key card against the door pillar when you want it locked or buy a key fob and use the buttons. So sayeth the manual...

    Walkaway lock at home ... I don’t want it

    You can do that. Locks. Lock Confirmation Sound - Off. Which also makes me wonder, does the OP want “Walk-Away Door Lock” Off? Would that solve her issue?

    How honest are you about Tesla issues when speaking to friends/family that want to buy a Tesla?

    Wonderful car. Best I’ve ever owned and I love driving it. But I warn them of the pricing changes, the overpromises predelivery, the service challenges, the employees who are kept out of the loop of Elon’s whim-based decisions, the issues with body work, and to inspect the hell out of it with a...

    Is the current NoA helpful or harmful?

    I’m guessing the author has never driven I95 in Miami. Lol

    Post-delivery AP/FSD Price Changes

    You mean paint? That decreased from Q1 pricing.

    Post-delivery AP/FSD Price Changes

    Kinda wish they made basic AP a bit more reasonable. Increased the price by $2k and made it standard because safety is so important, but kept it at $3k for everyone else.

    Walkaway lock at home ... I don’t want it

    You want your car unlocked in your driveway? We have had a rash of burglaries in my area where people (likely kids) go to cars and check to see if their cars are unlocked because people do exactly what you just said. I’m pretty happy with the auto lock mechanism. I usually take my phone wherever...

    Is sentry mode on? If so, turn it off.

    Should I worry about Tesla going out of business?

    I should have been clearer that I meant their immediate debt problems, which between 2.3B in credits and 2B in new offerings, are somewhat overblown.
  27. J

    Should I worry about Tesla going out of business?

    I’m not an investor, but no, I wouldn’t and I don’t. They just sold a boatload of credits to Fiat Chrysler that will resolve their debt issues. They had a less than ideal quarter, but that’s not a big deal to owners. If they win the autonomy race, they will explode because they will have a...

    How to remove bed / trunk liner in Model 3

    Thank you for reminding me why I bought an all weather trunk liner.

    Potential Model 3 buyer with 164-180 mile daily commute

    Yep. Agree with people here. LR or AWD. AWD at 90% and you leave the house at 279 miles. Normally, I’d say NEMA 14-50 is plenty, but wall charger just in case. And while my 15 minute commute and desire to enjoy my AWD acceleration has made FSD of less interest to me, if I had 160 miles a day I’d...

    BMW will crush Tesla

    “Weak minded Tesla investors” That line made me laugh. I’m not even an investor, and that told me everything I needed to know about the article. That said, I think there’s plenty of room in the automotive sector for lots of EVs. If BMW brings something good to the party, I’m all for it. More...

    Wireless charger throwdown - who wins?

    I like my Taptes, but the big drawback is the shipping time. Because it’s international, it took a really long time to receive, maybe a month. If you can wait, it works great and is a good value.

    Some Tesla hate on the highway...

    No. Stable in the middle lane. Going 80 with the flow of traffic.

    What did you name your Tesla?

    Some Tesla hate on the highway...

    Driving in Orlando yesterday with my wife on a road trip and got my first Tesla hate. Was on NAP and stable in a single lane, so I know I didn’t do anything abnormal. Anyway, a red Mercedes SUV pulled in front of us in the left lane and opened the passenger window and flicked us off then pulled...

    Autopilot Update for Older Model 3s

    This. And $3k for TACC is just silly.
  41. J

    Autopilot Update for Older Model 3s

    It really should be $2k. $3k is silly. Particularly with the $1k bump in FSD. It was a good reason to drop AP to $2k for those who didn’t get it “standard.”

    Just ordered my P3D. Is there a break in period like ICE?

    If there’s a break in period, it’s for you, not the car.

    Ugh. Sorry that happened. That’s sucks. They clearly weren’t looking or misjudged.

    How much does your electricity cost?

    My city has $.10 flat rate. If I chose to go nights and weekends it would be $.05 off peak and $.24 peak.

    Regen Brake Question

    Battery full. Car moving downhill. Nothing to regenerate because you’re at your soft cap. That’s when I’ve seen it.
