I just took delivery of my Model 3 yesterday and absolutely love the car. For reference I've driven a Model S P85 for the past 5 years. But I'm not used to the autopilot and not sure how it's supposed to work and am looking for some answers to a couple of questions. First, is there no...

There are many who say that Tesla’s meteoric rise in the auto industry can not continue because there will be competitors coming that will take a bite out of their market. Well I feel that there are no real competitors to Tesla at present and will not be for quite some time. Why? Well we...

With version 4.3 we got a needed feature with charging in that we can now set when we want charging to start. What we need now is a feature that allows us to set when we want charging to end. For example, if I set my charging to end at 7AM (the time when I leave for work) the software would...

When I went to upgrade to the 4.3 update I got an error message saying that the update couldn't be done because the 12v was too low. Tesla service came out and replaced the 12v and everything is fine. Still weird that a 12v battery goes bad on a 4 month old car, but this got me wondering when...

I just discovered today after some testing with the key fob, that my car is not locking using the walk-away lock. I have this feature set to on on my car with the latest software 4.2. Here are the steps that I took: 1) car is unlocked and parked. 2) got out of the car with both key fobs...

I did my first out of town road trip today. It was a one day turn-around trip from Arrowhead (northern Phoenix) to Flagstaff AZ. This is not a typical road trip for the Model S in that in the 125 miles in the trip there about 5000 feet of elevation change as you go up I-17 to Flagstaff. The...

It seems that many Tesla owners may be physicians like myself and one of the best parts of my day is pulling into the physicians parking lot at the hospitals I frequent. The Model S really stands out among all the Mercedes, BMWs, Porsche, etc already in the lot and daily I get one of the my...

It’s been 4 weeks and 1000 miles since I’ve gotten my Model S P85 and I wanted to give my impressions so far. To sum it up in one sentence – this is the best car I’ve ever driven or owned and I’ve been fortunate to have owned some nice cars. My last 2 cars were a Porsche 911 Carrera and a...

I wanted to create a thread to discuss the various modes the car may be in and what the batteries are doing during these modes. There are 2 batteries - the traction battery and the 12v battery and it is somewhat of a mystery what is happening to them in the various modes the car can be in so...

So I am P#130 and haven't heard a word from Tesla since July. I was wondering how long before actual delivery do they contact you for your final paperwork/financing. I was originally told delivery in November, but maybe now it is December? I see from the board that many people have contacted...
