    Supercharger - Arnold, CA (LIVE, 8 V3 stalls)

    I see it on the in car nav too! Sweet.

    Any reason a wheel lift tow truck can't tow a RWD Model S with the front wheels on the ground?

    If it's RWD I don't see what's so bad about towing it like that. It has a standard double wishbone in the front. I bet it's because they just want to use standard instructions for all Teslas and don't want to differentiate between rwd or awd.

    RDU/LDU coolant bypass innovation

    Based on the design I think the answer is 100%, just a matter of how long it will take. If your sensor is still dry then I would be looking at other avenues to get the coolant bypass done. Much cheaper than 6-7k down the road for a replacement. Just my opinion.

    Supercharger - Arnold, CA (LIVE, 8 V3 stalls)

    This sounds like the most likely reason, agree. Starlink is very spotty if it doesn't have a perfectly clear view. I wonder if they can use a Verizon sim card instead of an AT&T one over there. Would probably be the easiest solution. Also strange how Arnold doesn't have any AT&T reception...

    I am frankly shocked by how stunningly ugly the Cybertruck is

    I agree that it looks like a futuristic rolling dumpster. It's basically the vibe they were going for and they pulled it off really well, based on the attention it gets.

    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    Not a single state has been doing their job? You realize there are 50 states right? If not a single state is able meet Biden's requirements then even more reason to get rid of him.

    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    I did. The federal government made a bad decision. The Biden administration must end.

    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    Thanks for clarifying. Goes to show how incapable and ineffective the current administration is. Time to vote them out.

    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    Good. Joe Biden allocated $7.5B to new chargers and built 7 total. Remember at the beginning of his campaign when he promised to build an EV charger at every highway offramp? I remember.

    Elon: FSD Beta tweets

    Maybe in 20 years at today's rate of FSD progress. I remember back in the early days of AP1, there was no steering nag at all. Those were the good days. I agree. And you can find a nag defeat device for the steering input too, which is a plus.

    Elon: FSD Beta tweets

    They will almost definitely keep the steering wheel nag on the pre camera cars.

    Need help on "Free Unlimited Supercharging for Life"...

    I don't think we are talking about the same thing.

    Need help on "Free Unlimited Supercharging for Life"...

    If my memory is correct, they stopped offering transferable fusc on Jan 15, 2017. All cars sold until then had it with the exception of some 40s.

    Supercharger - Arnold, CA (LIVE, 8 V3 stalls)

    About a month ago. I've had no problems charging there all winter, but recently I've been taking the truck up there as I'm tired of waiting a that slow charger + it actually gets some use on weekends. On weekdays I always see it empty. You can also walk to the cafe across the street, I think...

    Supercharger - Arnold, CA (LIVE, 8 V3 stalls)

    I charged with my Model S there, topped out at 42kw for me. The fried chicken at the gas station is pretty good.

    Door handle issue.. does not pop out, door now opens on its own

    That's a gen2 harness not a gen3.
  18. Cheburashka

    We have officially hit bottom!

    44k seems like too much for such high mileage. IMO. This depreciation is nothing new. Has always been like this. I got my 2016.5 in 2017 for 55k I think with just under 30k miles. Sticker on it is 96K.

    Rear trunk won't open

    That is a great price actually. No brainer to have them do it even if you are capable. Surprised it's so low, I just got a door handle replaced and it was around $450 total.

    Legacy Model S No Updates

    I was in the same situation on my S and I messaged Tesla through the app, selecting service, software and asked them to push the latest update and they did.

    Plaid S or Highland Model 3 Performance

    Not at all. The 2024 is getting active suspension like the MS as well as a bunch of other improvements, not to mention that it will be more powerful. So not it's not the "same car".

    Thesis and Poll - Long TSLA Short auto insurance

    This sort of nonsensical way of thinking about how incredibly safe Tesla's L2 driver assists are and teabagging Elon will get you and potentially others killed. Tesla Autopilot investigation closed after feds find 13 fatal crashes related to misuse

    Superchargers in Northern California (location speculation)

    There were definitely some Tesla employees on the ground though. They even have cars that say Tesla Supercharger on them. They also performed maintenance on the chargers. Not sure if they got fired.

    Supercharger - Arnold, CA (LIVE, 8 V3 stalls)

    That would be good. Twitter is way better now as X than before, but I think that org has a ton of typical silicon valley bloat on its staff. Completely different story with the supercharger network.

    Gen 3 door handle fix questions

    I've only done the rear handles myself but personally I find it super easy to remove the handle without touching the window. Just need some low profile wrenches.

    Supercharger - Arnold, CA (LIVE, 8 V3 stalls)

    They fired the entire supercharger team today I think. Whoever replaces them is probably going to want to get these chargers working real quick.

    Can Model S be produced for $55K to qualify for federal tax credit?

    No point. The 3 and Y are moving more upmarket and inheriting Model S features such as rear display and air suspension. Those old "cheap" Model S didn't have a luxury interior. They had cloth seats, metal roofs, and manual trunks. Up until 2016 next gen seats the standard cloth seats felt like...

    Just kill it off already

    Yangwang doesn't sound so bad to me. That said, I'm sure if they brought it to the US they would Americanize the name.

    Gen 3 door handle fix questions

    There is an issue with these gen3 handles where the harness or hall sensor fails, so the handle doesn't pass calibration and appears to be stuck.

    Supercharger - Arnold, CA (LIVE, 8 V3 stalls)

    It only worked for a short time and it's been down ever since. I wonder if there is something else Tesla needs to do at this charger before it officially opens since it's still absent from the in-car map.
  33. Cheburashka

    Rear trunk won't open

    Yes, and I broke a couple of clips as well. How much does Tesla charge for the job?

    used p100ds now are dirt cheap. What's going on?

    The M5 is way, way more unique. It has so many different parts than the regular 5 series and a specially tuned chassis. The only thing a P100D does better than any other Model S is go fast in a straight line, which is why it's isn't worth very much. The Model 3 highland is a superior car now...

    used p100ds now are dirt cheap. What's going on?

    The new performance model is not going to be much slower than a P100D as it's also sub 3 seconds now. Obviously, it will be slower than a Plaid. However, unlike a P100D, it has adaptive suspension and track mode, as well as things like full regen.
  37. Cheburashka

    used p100ds now are dirt cheap. What's going on?

    The P100D is going to be way more clapped out being almost 10 years old now. The new model 3 has plenty of superior and innovative features like adaptive damping, track mode, vented sport seats, rear passenger display, etc. Oh, and it comes with a warranty. As far as driving experience goes...

    used p100ds now are dirt cheap. What's going on?

    Dec 2016 MS 75D that I've owned since 2017 The new Model 3 has way nicer seats, adaptive suspension, and it does 0-60 in under 3s. It will be better to drive as a performance car. No brainer at that price vs. a car that's almost a decade old
  39. Cheburashka

    used p100ds now are dirt cheap. What's going on?

    With the new Model 3 performance, I think it's way better value than a used P100D unless you need the extra room or the sunroof. Would most likley be cheaper to own too, especially if the P100D needs any battery or drive unit work.

    Tesla in crisis?

    Even if robotaxis would be incredibly profitable, the problem is that he's been promising some form of robotaxi for the last 6 years and progress has been painfully slow. Wasn't the coast to coast handsfree drive supposed to happen in 2018? I agree it would be a bad idea to bet the company's...

    Tesla in crisis?

    This 100%. Elons in the news cycle all the time for all the wrong reasons. X is a massive distraction. However, maybe the current abysmal performance is enough to throw Elon back in to beast mode and begin kicking everyone's ass at Tesla. I remember in 2017ish when we bought our S, Tesla was...

    Snow Chain for Model s

    Personally I use the Autosock. Easy to put on and off and no chance of damage. Also it's April, you don't need chains at this point.

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    I tried the new FSD again. It's trash. IMO v11 was way better. It drove me onto the shoulder and thought it was a lane, consistently goes over the lines on curves, and it drove in a bike lane for way too long. It might be more confident, but it's not any better.
