    Wish List Item: Weather Radar

    I had a 2014 BMW i3 electric telephone booth. Whoops, I mean car. It had weather radar on the nav screen that was fabulous. I love for Tesla to add that option since the data plan would cover the download costs.

    Model Y At fault front bumper repair - Go with insurance claims or pay out of pocket?? Quoted $5.5k

    My little parking lot bump creased the rear hatch. Bid's averaged about $6K. I decided to use my insurance since I never had a claim since 1973. What a mistake. In the 3 years since the accident my auto insurance went up about 3X. I suggest talking to one of the dent pulling companies to try...

    Tesla app update today, NOW NO CAMERA VIEW

    You're not alone. My car is in the garage where Sentry Mode is automatically off. I'm unable to turn on Sentry Mode to allow viewing live camera. I'll check it tomorrow when I'm away from home.

    Minor fender bender - No Fault - Initial Estimate $6500 - Go through insurance?

    I had a minor dent for my MY meeting an OLD Chrysler in a parking lot. The dent was in the rear hatch and two different body shops said that it had to be replaced. I went with a Tesla certified shop. Total cost was just over $6,000. No fault, no police and clearly both parties' fault. The...

    Rates are up by 50% ??

    I'm very sorry to disagree with you. My rate in for my 2020 MY LR almost doubled. I and my agent are just starting to seek other quotes. I'm not sure I see the relationship people have been mentioning between the increases in minimum wages and the raise in insurance rates. What role do minimum...

    FSD almost caused a crash..

    I've had a couple of drives on 11.4.4. My car stick wants to turn on to side streets or entrances into developments WAY too much. It still likes to slow down a lot when going down a road with no reason to slow down. Today it wanted to stop for a green light. I've been disengaging because of the...

    Tire Recommendations for 19" (Quiet All Season)

    Read about the Hankook iON evo AS SUV 235/55R19 105V XL A/S Performance. They made a tremendous difference in noise and comfort for my 2020 MY.

    Best options to improve comfort and reduce noise

    I just replaced the Continental Pro Contact tires on my 2020 MY and am surprised at how much quieter and smoother riding they are than the Contis. It's now possible to comfortably carry on conversations at highway speeds because of the lack of road noise. The tires are now on sale at Walmart for...

    FSD beta 11.4.3 (2023.7.15) issues

    I started having this same problem with 11.4.2 and it seems worse with 11.4.3. I daily drive my MY on a two-lane road that has turn lanes for going into private communities that are usually gated. It now swerves into the turn lane so often it is not drivable. Like rschimpf78 I waited to see what...

    Hankook new iON tire, an "EV" tire (not the same as Kinergy GT)

    I just ordered the Ions and got a price match with Discount Tire. I searched for the $100 rebate and couldn't find anything. Please send any info you may have on where to find the rebate. Thank you for convincing me to order these.

    FSD discussion

    My MY is on 11.4.2 an on an 82 mile trip today there were 3 instances of phantom braking. Two of them very hard braking. The prior version of FSD didn't have any phantom braking.

    FSD discussion

    My gated community has a tall double swing gate at our entrance. It's on a slight corner. Even when the Homelink manages to open the gate my MY speeds up and will run into it if I don't hit the brakes. Occasionally it will brake hard just before I slam on the brakes. I'm on 11.4.2 and it almost...

    Have the factory tow hitch, but looking to get a uhaul cargo trailer

    Check the weight of the trailer and contents to ensure they aren't over the weight limit of the hitch.

    Any way to report errors?

    Not that I want to try it or recommend anyone else try it but the way to get Tesla's attention is to have an accident and blame it on FSD beta. All the articles on accidents that I read about where FSD may have been on gets a thorough review by Tesla, everyone's lawyers and the authorities.

    Those with a 2020 LR/P that had a 322 mile EPA rated range, how many miles does your car now show at 100% charge?

    My 2020 MY LR has 33,452 miles on it and shows 300 miles at 100%. Of course, I've never gotten close to that many miles because of my driving style. I think I could come close if I stayed off the highways and drove the speed limit. Fortunately for most of my driving there are Superchargers where...
