You'll want to get that secured, it protects the bottom of the car. To date, no one has ever stolen catalytic converter from a Tesla. You don't want to be the first.

Looks like a fastener(s) fell out.

Yea that^^^. If I’m traveling and need a charge at my hotel I shouldn’t have to fight the non customers for a spot. I would add. Most parts of the country have a law that the tow sign must include where to get your car back. If that’s missing, it’s usually an empty threat.

I tried and found the Be Ready At charging schedule is poor at best. Save yourself some frustration and set manual charging times. The OP may want to charge for an hour or more then use one of these to look for hot spots.

BYD, a carmaker Musk once laughed at, overtook Tesla at the end of last year as the top seller of electric vehicles on the planet (Tesla overtook it in the first quarter of this year, but they’re neck and neck). And now it’s giving Toyota a run for its money, unveiling a new hybrid powertrain...

Stick with the Tesla wall charger. There isn’t much savings going with a 3rd party charger and you’ll loose some features. Installing a wall charger yourself is pretty simple. Make sure you buy the correct, or larger wire for your breaker size. I did mine in an afternoon including a 50’ pull...

All I see is a scratch on the plastic cover? If it worries you that much, replace the cover.

Not sure there is a way to do that, but I did buy some pipe insulation and tied it to the garage door vertically with zip ties. Now the trunk lid hits the soft insulation instead of the garage door.

Yea okay, don’t think I’ll be putting lines on my driveway any time soon.

Tripled? I find that hard to believe. You must have had a claim(s). My California insurance (autos, home, plane) have pretty held the same. Auto down $400, house up $150, plane up $200. Not sure why auto went down other than the cars are a year older?

That's not right. Try adjusting it on the screen in the car.

Florida does have a new car Lemon Law, but is pretty weak. The OP’s car is not unsafe to drive and its use is not impaired. There is a 30 consecutive day in shop law, but you have to put the shop on notice the clock is running. If they give the car back to you for one day, the clock starts...

Does it matter? How many miles do you drive in a year? Most of us run out of miles before we run out the calendar.

Elon Musk says AI will take all our jobs https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/23/tech/elon-musk-ai-your-job/index.html “If you want to do a job that’s kinda like a hobby, you can do a job,” Musk said. “But otherwise, AI and the robots will provide any goods and services that you want.”

The car was purchased and delivered in your name. Good luck, but I think you are SOL.

How often is the screen angle changed to justify electric motors? What would the cost be per unit, $500?

Agree, the front wheel is not safe for driving. The rear wheel needs to be replaced. If your thinking about custom wheels, now is the time. I not an expert on the underside, I’ll let others comment.

That true if you have directional tires… Directional tires have arrows on the sidewall indicating direction of rotation. Does anyone have directional OEM tires?

I don't even know what you're asking?

I completely X’ed my tires, it’s all wheel drive. No issues. Not what Tesla says to do. Who knows more about tires, Tesla or Michelin?

Don’t think we’ll get that in the US. We drive in the left seat.

I’m no expert but I X my tires. I’m assuming you’re AWD?

I think your friend is a ventriloquist and he's LHAO right now.

I fail to understand how poor management is a liberal / conservative issue. I do think Tesla has peaked, while Musk isn’t the only reason he’s one of the reasons.

What happens when you think it's going to back-up, but it goes forward? I'll stick with the old fashion way, seems a lot simpler.

Dark colored cars look really good right after you wash them. The other 6 days of the week they look like crap. Years ago I had a dark blue car, even lint from the towel I used to dry the car would show up on the clean car. Where as, a white car still looks clean 2 weeks after it’s washed.

Looks like the OP already got the originals back.

For gods sake, it's a 5,000+ pound vehicle traveling at 100 feet per second. Keep your hand(s) on the wheel.

Removable parts, no way that's totaled.

No data limit when driving, it's not sent to Tesla. If you're looking at the camera's remotely there is a limit, but I don't think that's your question. That's how I do it. Not sure my MY even has mirrors... ;)

I was scheduled to start a new job 1st day of the lockdown. I asked my new employer if they wanted to delay my start date a week or two until this Covid thing is over… Lockdown day 1. Drove to the office to pick up my laptop where one person was waiting for me. It was like the freeway was...

I believe it’s actually two parts. Honking and finger.

The most dangerous part off FSD is when you forget you turned it off. Come on, I can’t be the only one.

My opinion: You bought a used car. When a tire is damaged the owner may not be able to secure a matching tire. If you want like new, buy a new car. LOL - I'm a big fan of round tires.

I sure don't think so, the car is just another cell phone. First I've heard this complaint. I also have a 2023 MY.

You listen to your Brother-in-Law? A Brother-in-Law that drives a Prius no less?

Sounds like you're good to go! As the Supercharger approaches your charge limit it slows down. For a faster charge you may want to increase you charge limit beyond what you need, then manually stop it when the desired charge is reached.

If you plan on taking a trip recommend you do a test charge at a local SC. 1.) So you're convertible with it. 2.) A few people home charge fine, but when they got to a SC it didn't work due to a failed part.

Assuming Tesla has your charge card on file, nothing. The Supercharger bypasses most of your settings. The one setting that may need to be changed is % to charge.

That’s a later year model, it didn’t have the “easy to steal” issue. Assume the driver had the fob or the technology to hack the car. Gotta give the car credit, it took a licking and kept on ticking. A Tesla would have shut down on the first impact. Why do they hide the face of the bad guy?

The MX is a good EV, but a bad reef. Anyways, this MX owner did okay.

We must be looking at different pictures.

Was there supposed to be pictures?

I really think most Phantom Breaking isn’t what it appears and it can be explained.

It's called FSD Supervised, you should drive watching the road, hand of the steering wheel and a foot ready to press the brake or accelerator at all times. The fact that you went from 80 MPH to 40 MPH without taking corrective action speaks volumes, you're the driver. No need to turn off auto...

LOL, no Tesla is smarter than that.

Body work, water damage. Yes Cracked windshield, missing hubcap. No

Just have them replace the windshield. It’s a clean fix, pretty hard to do it wrong. Surprised Tesla didn’t fix it before you saw it.

LondonCNN — As many as 800 activists gathered outside Tesla’s factory near Berlin Friday to protest its expansion plans, and some of them clashed with police as they attempted to break into the plant. “There are currently 800 activists on the Tesla Gigafactory site as part of the Disrupt Tesla...

Seems like a big Storm is coming in now.
