Does anyone know, or have a theory, why Tesla has cars on its new inventory which are more expensive than the price when ordering a new, similar spec car? It's not an isolated example, there are numerous examples in the Model 3 new inventory which are more expensive. I simply can't see why.

TLDR: a mean smack dab in the middle obvious pothole on autopilot was $1000 in tires for my Tesla model 3 performance. Anyone else experience fun like this?

Even wat punten inzake elektrisch rijden:

Verduurzaming van het wagenpark blijft gestimuleerd worden. De elektrische rijder gaat eerlijk bijdragen, om de opbrengsten op de lange termijn houdbaar te houden.

De aanschaf van elektrische voertuigen blijft ondersteund worden, waarbij ook oog gehouden wordt voor de ‘fossiele rijders’ en een eerlijke verdeling van de kosten tussen beide groepen. De subsidies stoppen allemaal per 2025, de MRB gewichtscorrectie (fiscaal) blijft bestaan. Bezien wordt op welke manier het instellen van zero-emissiezones kan worden uitgesteld, onder andere om uitzonderingen voor bijvoorbeeld ondernemers landelijk te kunnen regelen (standaardiseren). De instelling van zero-emissiezones blijft een gemeentelijk besluit.

There are 2 slots in the sides so will rain get inside and damage it?

We were driving on the highway and never saw anything but heard a loud thump and noticed two decent sized cracks on my tinted glass roof.

Not covered under my Progressive windshield insurance coverage (from my understanding at least), and only place that apparently carries these glass roofs in stock around here is Tesla apparently. Unfortunately they don't have an available appointment for almost 3 weeks.

I'm sure the safest answer here is to leave it unused, but given the appointment isn't right around the corner, any thoughts on driving it in it's current state?

The cracks happened 2 days ago, and they have not spread as of now. I'm sure that might change with weather/temp

Anything special about the roof glass? Any chance it's like two separate layers of glass and this exterior crack isn't/won't affect an interior layer? Or is this just a bad idea and just be patient car-less for a few weeks?

Thanks!

Alhoewel ik maar weinig km's er mee heb gemaakt (leenauto, werkafspraken) vind het toch leuk om mijn korte ervaring als MS rijder (dec 2017, FSD) te delen.

Allereerst: wat een waar voor je geld! Voor de prijs van een MS krijg je twee MY! Geen wonder dat deze auto zo populair is, begrijp het helemaal.

Positieve verschillen:
- het kunnen gebruiken van je telefoon als sleutel:
- veel beter visualisaties:
- nog minder minder knoppen/stalks;
- ingebouwde wireless charging voor twee telefoons;
- lijkt strakker te rijden op FSD;
- hoge instap;
- scherm horizontaal, beter voor films.

Wennen
- andere bediening

Negatieve verschillen
- deur portieren;
- geen dashboard, tenzij goede after market oplossing is dit misschien dealbreaker;
- te klein scherm.

MobilEye is not a believer in pure e2e. I think they argue their position quite well.


Back in November 2022, the release of ChatGPT garnered widespread attention, not only for its versatility but also for its end-to-end design. This design involved a single foundational component, the GPT 3.5 large language model, which was enhanced through both supervised learning and reinforcement learning from human feedback to support conversational tasks. This holistic approach to AI was highlighted again with the launch of Tesla’s latest FSD system, described as an end-to-end neural network that processes visual data directly “from photons to driving control decisions," without intermediary steps or “glue code."

While AI models continue to evolve, the latest generation of ChatGPT has moved away from the monolithic E2E approach.

I've only just noticed - The energy bar that was above the graphic of the car on screen - the one that changed from black - consumption to green - recovery has disappeared. 14.6 downloaded and installed today - has it gone with that or have i just not noticed until today? I did quite like that feature.

14.6 also indicated In autopilot settings there is an option to select USS or vision for parking - even for the older Intel MCU - but I haven't got that option.

Dag allen,

De LDU van mijn '15 MS heeft het helaas begeven. Ik weet de precieze oorzaak niet (is door SeC Groningen vastgesteld), maar ik vermoed de welbekende keerring lekkage.
Ik ga er dus vanuit dat de volledige LDU vervangen moet worden (en niet alleen gereviseerd kan worden). Wat Tesla hiervoor vraagt is mij te gortig (ook omdat het me 2 maanden buiten de garantie gebeurt).

Weet iemand wie dit in Nederland of omstreken uit kan voeren? Ik ben wel in contact geweest met EV Clinic en Kroatie dit dit kan doen, maar dat is nogal een ritje met de MS achterop een autoambulance.

I have had my highland since launch day, the last week a rattle has appear near/under the driver seat. I am struggling to find it as it only happens above say 50mph and I have got any friends to sit in the back and find it

I have raised a service request as I assume this will be covered under warranty.

Will they give me a loaner car?

Autopilot is one thing but what is the point of fsd if it’s nagging me to grab the wheel every 10 seconds. For one it’s down right dangerous telling me to grab the wheel when it’s making a turn. That’s how bones get broken.

Are UK Model Ys now being made in Germany? James and Kate YouTube channel claimed this a couple of weeks ago.

My iPad popped up a photo reminder this morning.

It was the first day since the car arrived on day one of lockdown one that we were able to venture out further afield
We had a celebratory picnic at Elveden supercharger in the sunshine with our less than two month old car with 293 miles on the clock. (112 of those were delivery mileage!)

Unlike today, it was also warm and sunny…

Hi
I'm thinking of buying a used model 3 but can't decide which year and mileage to go for.
As I understand it, 2018-20 had chrome and no heat pump, both of which put me off, so am thinking 2021 (or late 2020 refresh) onwards.
Also, as far as I can tell, the most noticeable difference between a 2021 and a 2022 is the switch to Ryzen processors and the removal of sensors, but perhaps there is something else I am missing that makes a 2022 more attractive?

So my main question is this:
Am I better off with a lower mileage (say, 35k) 2021 M3 or a higher (but by no means astronomical) mileage (around 45-50k) 2022?
As far as I can tell from A Better Route Planner, the range and charging speed improvements of a 2022 M3 make all of 3 mins difference on a theoretical drive from Exeter to Edinburgh.
Also, I think I'm right in saying at 50k a car will be out of the comprehensive warranty?

Any thoughts? Many thanks in advance!

Ik sta op het punt een MY te bestellen (lease). Ik rij nu een oude (2019) M3.
Ik rijdt dagelijks korte stukjes en in de weekenden soms wat verder (200-300km). Ik heb thuis geen eigen laadplek en laad dus op publieke laadplekken of werk.
ik had eigenlijk de intentie om de MY LR RWD te bestellen, met het idee zo min mogelijk vaak te hoeven laden, maar begrijp dat de MY LR RWD een 2170 accu heeft en dus bij dagelijks gebruik het advies heeft tot 80% te laden.
De MY SR RWD heeft een LFP welke wel dagelijks tot 100% kan.
Heeft een Long Range dan nog echt veel toegevoegde waarde voor dagelijks gebruik?
De winst van de LR heb ik dan alleen incidenteel als ik echt ver weg moet en dan een keer naar 100% kan laden.

Prijsverschil is 4K en is toch wel aanzienlijk.
Tips of mis ik nog iets in mijn redenatie?

Hi Guys,

I have had my Model 3 Highland LR since March.

Noticed that at 80% charge the range is only 400Km.

anyone with model 3 LR care to share what their ranges are at 80% charge?

my mate tells me it’s too low and i should send it in to service

thanks guys

I mean it. FSDs is very dangerous. Just 2 weeks ago I was in a rental car and almost drove through a red traffic light. I am so accustomed to the car stopping by itself that I had to implement disengagement procedures at the last second.

Life is getting terrible with the advancement of technology.

I am seriously thinking of starting a campaign to shut down FSDs before humanity forgets how to drive safely.

Hello All,

I found a small tire cut on my Tesla MYLR(attached Pictures) which i bought in March and when I checked with tesla they denied to cover for replacement and were estimating 430$ for replacement. I haven't hit a pot hole or a curb and its not so deep but i notice its kinda spreading. I checked with continental and they asked to inspect with Tire discounters(Authorized Dealer). Did any one had a similar situation and what did you guys do?

Thanks

Er is blijkbaar een pre productie versie van de middenconsole van de Model Y refresh gelekt, dus dat leek me een mooie gelegenheid om een nieuw topic te openen. Hopelijk kunnen we hier de komende tijd nieuwe leaks en geruchten posten voor de aanstaande refresh Model Y.

Hi all,

I have the well known creaking on the front drivers side suspension. I've just been to Tesla Tottenham (East London) to have it confirmed. They have diagnosed lower control arm bushing worn out. I'm a bit surprised/miffed at the price they are quoting though. £260 to diagnose the issue, and another £780 to supply and fit. This seems excessive to me. It's especially annoying as I am due to hand the car back to the lease company in a few weeks time (December 2019 M3P by the way).

So, do I have any other options here that anyone may be aware of? I've already rung ProTyre in Bishops Stortford and they have said they can't get the parts.

So my inverter went down in January. I didn't know until March or so when I randomly went into my app. I noticed no solar production. Made an appointment - ealiest was 6 weeks away. They diagnosed and determined I needed a new SolarEdge gateway. Fast forward to today when it was finally installed. Production restored.

So for 4 months, I had no solar production. Has anyone successfully got some kind of compensation from Tesla for the lost production? My installer panted the seed into my head, which I hadn't even considered.

How did you go about this? What docs did you provide? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi All,

New owner of a model 3 here and quite happy with the car so far. However, I bought the car from a 3rd party seller who specialises in selling EV's. It was a remote purchase and the car was delivered last week. Just recently I noticed that the passenger side tyres are not the OEM Michelin PS 4. Instead, the front is mixed with a 'Kormoran' and the rear is mixed with a 'Toyo Proxes Sport'. They are the right size but obviously each axle has a mixed tread pattern now.

In my mind the car should be supplied with the right OEM tyres, what would you recommend in this case?

Thanks

It can gets extremely hot in Texas is there anything you can do to prevent the heat from getting in the cabin if you cannot park in the shade? Also is that a problem for areas where it’s hot (the top is glass) The cabin protections already kicked on when it’s 80° outside.

Has anyone/big YouTubers ran a trolley problem with FSD Beta?

Havent found anything and im sure it would be a nice viral video if someone makes it (would probably cost a lot and require a stunt driver etc to make it realistic)

Really curious as how impossible scenarios are programed with FSD neural nets or if there is some sort of "governing ethics" code that is actually running (or if there is nothing running and FSD beta just gives up).

Things like two unavoidable crashes scenarios of the top of my head:

-one person/multiple people
-car vs human
-human vs animal
-car vs bus
etc
