I am trying to find information about differences, in safely passing at highway speeds (on a two-lane highway), between Tesla M3, S75D, S100D, and PS100D. Tesla quotes "1.2 seconds passing speed 45-65 mph" in the MS configurator for P100D, but it's hard to immagine how this looks like in...
OK so the other day Andrew Collins posted a request to anyone with a Model 3 to loan it to him to drive and review their car for Jalopnik and offered the person a lunch for their troubles to anyone who stepped up. Well he got his chance already and posted his video/review thanks to Mason McLead...
Sorry, I did not find anything about that with the forum search. I am sure this must have been discussed already.
Which fuse do I have to pull to disable EPS and traction control completely? I know there are multiple fuse boxes on the Model S.
What are the drawbacks in doing that? I mean not...
Just putting feelers out there to see how much people would pay for our Tesla due to concerns we have about repair time we are thinking about selling it...
I was at the Edison NJ meet and greet stop for You You Xue’s Model 3 road trip last night. More info on the road trip can be found here: Tesla Model 3 Road Trip
About an inch of snow had fallen earlier in the day and one of the parking lots by the supercharger was not plowed, so they decided to...
After the Santa Mode Update (2017.50.2)...I lost the ability to control the 17 inch display with a USB mouse. My rear seat passengers heavily relied on this...the USB mouse still works on the 3. Can anyone else confirm this?
So I picked up my 3 yesterday at the Fremont Hub. Supercharging wasn't necessary to get home with the long range but I wanted to show those with an S\X and non owner's (yet) how simple it was, even with paid usage.
Let me know if there's any thing else you want to see. I'll be adding more...
Picked up my Model 3 today at the new Fremont Hub. Overall it was a great pickup and overview of controls and features.
However, on the drive home I decided to turn up the stereo to test out the audio. It sounded kind of hollow and lacking any base. Upon further review just the front upper...
As advance as the Model 3 is...it is fairly easy to break-into the trunk.
Most modern cars only place the seat release in the trunk or have locking mechanisms. Since Tesla's don't have any glass-breakage sensors or motion alarms...we are going to see breakins like these happen.
It is...
Pressing the button on the end of the shift lever engages Park along with the noise of the mechanical parking brake callipers - fair enough - but press-and-hold it again and it does something else and also lights up a red (P)ARK in the I/C - and it also makes a second, discrete noise. Is this...
After the snow had melted back a bit, I ran my MX with 2017.50.2 on my torture route yesterday. This route has revealed some serious lane control and guidance issues with past firmware versions. The route has two exits and a "rise plus turn" feature in the middle. The rise + turn has led to...
I bought a Morning star sure sine 300 watt inverter. It produces a clean sine wave (hopefully).
What I like about it is it has a user setable low voltage turn off, audible alarms, and it uses no annoying cooling fans so it is completely silent. It's also built like a tank. But because it is...
Driver's seat, no problem. Ingress/egress is good. Plenty of head room.
Even with a 6' (183 cm) person in the front, the tall person can still fit in the rear seat and not be jammed against the front seat. The only downside seems to be a low bench for the rear seats, which could be...
In case you wanted to know what every light on the Model 3 LR w' Premium Package looks like:
Note: how the lights look on camera may not be entirely representative of how they look to the human eye.
The front center console compartments are LED lit, as well as the front door pockets. Very...
Did a search and didn't find a similar topic. I picked up my white model 3 in LA yesterday (non-employee) and love the car. Here are a few thoughts I had that could improve the car at this point in time via software updates:
#1 - Scheduled Charging: Must have! I want to plug my car in and not...
Chrysler 200 sedan ran a red light at intersection. Autopilot was not in use. Wife walked away with only a tiny scratch on her finger. No concussion or injury. Automatic emergency braking may have lessened the impact, but without opening an investigation through Tesla we have no way of knowing.
As has become a habit now, I've took the opportunity to test the latest update 2017.50.1 on my Model S to see if there are some improvements in autopilot behaviour. Now, I've had the update for 4 days now and have driven a few hundred kilometers before this test. So any calibration should have...
So.. I hope I'm wrong here, but it sure looks like the icons along the bottom of my screen are now burned into it. Something I didn't think was possible w/LCD...
Anyone else seen this? Anyone had the screen replaced? I'm under warranty until March 2019.
Making lemonade out of lemons. Got hit today by a dude with no license and no insurance. Video here;
You can see that he appeared to decide to hit me. Not sure what the deal was, just very, very glad we were both OK. I went to urgent care after the car was towed for some X-rays, and...
Many of us want to protect our babies (yes, the organic ones too) and I am talking about our cars. For me, it is my new 2017 Model S. For about six months now I have been researching what is the best way to help protect my paint and on the front of my car's body. I wanted buy a product that...
So, Elon musk said the S/X would always be at the front of technology so it's a little disappointing to see Model 3s getting features S/X don't.
If you watch this video you'll see the immersive sound has low/high instead of just on/off and that it has a new option, speed sensitive volume.
I'm...
I can see electrified transport disrupt the repair/parts business. Creates refurbished interiors and battery upgrade businesses - but after 10 years? or even 20 or 30?? (my 900 Saab 27 years old). Seems too far into the future to predict.
How about "cabs"? Take a look back 1922-1982 Checker...
My brother-in-law built a DIY Supercharger cabinet. Check it out. It’s pretty cool!

So, there's a rumor that Model S/X might get a redesigned interior around Q2-Q3/2018 - and of course there is the instrument clusterless dash of Model 3 perhaps giving us a glimpse into Tesla's future ideas. There is also the speculation and some past rumor on the 1/2 or 2/3rd windshield HUD...

Model S and Model X cars currently have four different zoom/pan modes for navigation. There's north-up, direction-up, leg-zoom (when superchargers are in the mix), and trip-zoom.
Months ago I saw an Electrek article showing an upcoming maps feature, which (I feel) mostly provides benefit by...
CGP Grey posted a new video on Machine Learning that was somewhat eye-opening. I knew that AI was incredibly complicated... what I didn't realize was that no one really knows how it does what it does... It's more than a little unsettling... My understanding of this is that engineers...
Since the video quality is lousy (vertical, low-resolution, hand-held phone camera), you won't get the true experience, so let me set the stage and describe what you're going to see...

Since Bjorn Nyland tested the AP1 interval, I thought it would be useful to compare it with the AP2 "nag" interval. Turns out that consistency is key with AP2 and it's still a far cry from AP1 unfortunately, with a lot shorter intervals.

2018 Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid First Drive | Review | Car and Driver
On the road, the Clarity feels a lot like an overloaded Accord. Honda says the plug-in Clarity has a curb weight that tops 4000 pounds, which makes it between 600 and 900 pounds heavier than the...
