    FSD free trial

    My trial just ended. I liked using it, and if the cost stays down at $99/month I can see myself using it for roadtrips this summer.

    When will the FSD trial start rolling out?

    I was out of town last week and updated remotely via the app to 2024.3.6. I have a 2023 RWD, standard update option, no FSD or Advanced AP features ever. After updating got an email that my 30 day trial had started, and would expire April 29th. This was the first I had heard of it, and was glad...

    Charger port cover broke from power outage

    It hasn't listed as an option for any of my services, including a tire rotation where anyone with a jack can do it (as mobile service did). I'm curious if anyone has actually gotten work done there? I had a theory they would use it to base the rangers out of it, stockpile parts and such, but not...

    Charger port cover broke from power outage

    Yeah, I’m curious how soon any of them will fly again, and if they check to see if it’s a Boeing first!

    Charger port cover broke from power outage

    Heeeeyyyyyyy!! So plausible, considering how many Boeing plants are around me (although they didn't build the infamous plane).

    Charger port cover broke from power outage

    That’s a good idea. Who would I ask for that?

    Charger port cover broke from power outage

    I’m in SC (South Carolina), and there are no service centers in our state. Because the original mobile service broke my car for a week is why I would expect some kind of assistance.

    Charger port cover broke from power outage

    I agree it's preferable to the dealer experiences I've had for recalls. I've never spent more than $5000 on a car before this, so I'm not always certain of what to expect. I would have been more ok if when I called they just said "tough luck, we can't get there sooner." It was maddening that...

    Charger port cover broke from power outage

    Success! Jon from the Charlotte Service center was awesome (and I rewarded him with a couple of nice 3D additions for his personal M3P), and we are now charging and operating again (I was down to 8% when I got here this morning). I'm glad I didn't do this myself, because it ended up being rather...

    Charger port cover broke from power outage

    Well today is the day! I really hope mobile service shows up, because it’s 20 miles to work where the appointment is. Sure, I’ve got 60 miles of range left, but it’s 33 out so I’m not too confident that is accurate still… I get there is a degree of inconvenience to owning a Tesla is a state...

    Charger port cover broke from power outage

    That sounds very much like what it is.

    Charger port cover broke from power outage

    I’m confident I could open this up and repair it; if it’s just a wire not connected. My closest service center is 100 miles away. I do have a super charger only 12 miles away I could try, but I really only care about this being fixed so it doesn’t matter a ton to me if that could work. I’ve...

    Charger port cover broke from power outage

    Still no update from Tesla. This is probably the worst customer service experience I’ve ever had.

    Charger port cover broke from power outage

    Still no replies from the app on my message about getting service sooner than a week after being left with a car unable to charge. 2 calls to the service center where I was told my issue was escalated and I would hear back within 24 hours have also come and gone without help. I love this car and...

    Charger port cover broke from power outage

    It was a good try, but no luck. It seems a ground cable may not have been reconnected by the tech... Mobile service says they will be back next Tuesday. I don't think I can make it that long on my charge, so it may be back to the E-Bike 18 miles each way! I'm usually tempted to do all my own...

    I sure did.

    Charger port cover broke from power outage

    Mobile service came and fixed my charge port door. Yay! Downside, after leaving and saying the firmware was updating I am not able to charge. Awaiting response from them, but this kind of sucks.

    Car images with radar/lidar?

    Yes, I completely understand that the programming has a limited range of display outputs. I see it switch between a semi and a pickup with a trailer and understand it. The leap from large spool of hose to motorcycle is more puzzling, and I thought enjoyably humorous. Please don’t let this forum...

    Mine does the same!

    Reverse lighting

    I’ve noticed when reversing at night that my brake lights are much brighter than my reverse lights. Do others notice this? It seems to be emphasized on the camera view, but I wonder if that is due to spectrum or filtering of some kind. Anyone else notice this? 2023 Model 3 RWD

    Car images with radar/lidar?

    I am a fan of and impressed with autopilot. It’s a great addition to my commute. It’s also the only system I’ve used that is beyond basic cruise control. I’m always impressed and sometimes amused by the images of other cars (and cans/cones) on the screen. This morning it decided a trailer spool...

    6 month update: Love the car, 3D printed accessories make the interior storage even better. Currently have 12,500 miles. Used service to rotate tires first time, will do myself this time. Door panel comes loose when I get into car and push against it, but it snaps right back into place. Only...

    Charger port cover broke from power outage

    Delayed update, after having to schedule in person service I received a message that mobile service could fix this. That’s great; but it sure would have been nice to be able to do that from the beginning. If this was out of warranty or broken from misuse I would have figured out my own...

    Charger port cover broke from power outage

    Thanks for replies. No footage; as far as I can find. Car didn’t report any events. When I put in the service request it only lists the physical locations. Mobile wasn’t an option. No electrical issues in car, charger still working. I’m in a subdivision with underground lines. Charger...

    Charger port cover broke from power outage

    New issue I haven’t heard about. My 2023 Model 3 RWD was parked at home charging during a storm. Power went in and out several times. In the morning I go and discover the port tried to close and snapped on the charger handle. Nearest service center is 2 hours away and mobile service can’t do this…

    I should have added, I'm a bit of a battery nerd. Build my own E-Bike batteries out of recycled tool cell packs and make my own LFP batteries for Golf Carts. Also have a lithium storage wall I built for my garage freezer (just 3KwH, for now).

    What iPhone case fits Tesla wireless charger?

    My MagSafe leather apple case works well. Also just discovered that the MagSafe wallet attaches quite well to the sun visor mirror!

    Any risks ordering inventory cars?

    Just got my inventory car. Fresh off the trailer, discounts are just to goose sales and clear production for Highland.

    Hi all, Sitting in the Savannah service center lounge while they prep my new Model 3 RWD. Purchased today from inventory, but the one I was sitting in sold online so sales rep didn’t know and had to get a new one from the back lot and detail it. My father in law just got a Model Y LR last...
