... a Ford Lightning, that is: https://youtu.be/XQ5gT9dTPEQ As somewhat explained in the test accompanying the YT video, I had just left my veterinarian's office and was headed to a nearby Starbucks when a Ford Lightning ran a red light and nearly t-boned me. My light turned green, I...

Thanks moderator for splitting this off into it's own thread, as requested. I took at trip today from San Jose to SFO and back. Got home with <90 miles and I had to do a few things around the house so I couldn't charge my car until later this evening. I went to my usual ChargePoint station...

This crossed my desk a little while ago: https://electrek.co/2023/10/17/bmw-group-adopt-nacs-across-ev-brands-enabling-tesla-supercharger-access/

I've been running 2022.12.3.2 for just about 14 months now on my 2018 Model 3 LR RWD. I put off updating as I was planning to install the CCS retrofit (Gen4 charge port ECU and bundle of wires) and part of that process was to initiate an update after all of the hardware was in place. Long...

Got a text message today from Tesla Mobile Service asking me if I would like to schedule a mobile tech to come out and perform service on my front upper control arms per a recently released (???) service bulletin. I haven't had any problems in that area, as far as I know, but since they said...

Watch This Guy's Numerous, Humorous Failed Attempts To Gas Up A Tesla Model 3

Just got this email from UC Davis on EV and Fuel Cell Vehicle Study: Dear Electric Vehicle Owner, You are invited to participate in a research study because you have received a rebate from the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP). However, your participation is completely voluntary...

Just got a notification that 2020.20.12 is ready for downloading to my Model 3. No idea what it is but assume to be some bug fixes. Thread on reddit says it's a surprise. Three days ago I got 2020.20.5. This has to be the quickest update I've seen.

So after reading some posts over the last three years from people who have had problems getting their deposits back here's my story: TL;DR: Took two days. Over a weekend too! But I'm only talking about the $1,000 reservation deposit; not an order down payment or a full purchase refund. Back...

So I normally have been using EAP on my morning commute. Engaged at 70mph, when I come upon slowing/stopped traffic, I disengage autosteer (AS) with a tug on the wheel and move over onto the left line (to allow motorcycles to pass). My speed at that point is around 45mph and since TACC is...

Posting outside the main 2019.5.x software thread to ask this specific query: Is anybody else having a non-working autolock with 2019.5.15? Twice today when I walked away from my 3 it did not autolock. Yes, my phone was connected to the car. Calendar appeared when i got in the car and I...

When listening to streaming music I use the left roller on the steering wheel to skip songs I don't want to listen to. Occasionally it also seems to skip the first part of the song that follows; up to 3-4 minutes worth. It apparently is random as to which song(s) this affects but my...

This is being written from the perspective of somebody who experienced a 5 month change in software capabilities, virtually within the space of an hour. I assume that most people here have been updating as each software version has been released so this is for anybody who's been in my position...

Apologies if this has been posted before but I did do a forum search using Google... Anyway, I'm sitting in my car in my driveway this morning for about a minute when I get a phone call. I'm badged-in since I'm using the keycard and the car is in Park. Phone is paired with the car via...

Just got an email saying people who did not purchase EAP can now add it for $500 discount. Might bite on this offer! Support Enhanced Autopilot Trial Until September 24th, 2018, all owners who have not purchased Enhanced Autopilot can upgrade at a reduced price of $5,500. You can upgrade at...

Left my car charging overnight using the UMC plugged into a 120V outlet; 5 miles per hour charge rate. The charging stopped at my preassigned limit (90%) around 2AM. Due to the assumed vampire drain, the car has lost 4 miles of range since. My question: when does charging resume, if it does...

...is storing a quart of Marianne's Ice Cream (Irish Coffee and Chocolate Chip this time). During tonight's trip in the 3 to Santa Cruz to hear Tiran Porter play in a band at Seabright Brewery, my wife and I stopped at Marianne's on the way out of town and picked up some ice cream. First...

Moved my car to a charging station a few minutes ago. Display turned on when I opened the door but a few seconds later the whole screen went black when I shifted into reverse. I've had the issue with the reverse camera image being black but this was different. The whole screen looked like it...

With the poll asking if the Model 3 is the most you've ever spent on a vehicle, that got me thinking about my previous cars. So here's my history and I invite others to contribute and maybe we can find some common ground. Or debate the virtues of Model "A" vs. Model "B". Just no flame...

Was casually inspecting my email inboxes on my phone a little bit ago when I saw: "Your Model 3 is Ready to Order" :):D:p Really want AWD + LR. PUP is okay. Don't know yet about EAP. Don't want SR or FSD. Leaning heavily toward MSM and 18" Aeros. Will have to sleep on the configuration...

Just thought I'd start an off-topic subject that's semi-popular at a Thinkpad forum I hang out at. What are you listening to now? Could be in your car (Tesla, I hope), at work, at home or wherever. It's something I thought about since I just heard "Love Song" by Tesla on KUFX-FM (98.5 San Jose).

I am a Model 3 reservation holder (online 3/31/16). I live in San Jose, CA and neither work for Tesla or already own one. So basically the only thing going for me to get one ASAP is that I'm local to the factory. I recently had the chance to sit inside one at the Stanford Shopping Center in...

Hello! Put in my reservation for a Model 3 about 5 minutes after the web site went live last Thursday. Not a current Tesla owner but hope to be one within two years (hopefully not 3!). From what I've been reading, we in the Bay Area are going to be the public beta testers for the first units...
