No it takes me about 2 weeks to go through a charge. I drive out and come home on average twice a day so I get the notification twice a day. "Do you want to charge up now (44%)?" "Do you want to charge up now(42%)?) It's just these messages twice a day everyday. Or whenever I get near my...

This feature is only for home chargers. So it only notifies people who can charge whenever they want.

I'll disagree. I think EV owners in particular are keenly aware of their charge state. Do ICE cars remind you to fill up with gas every time you go home with half a tank or less? Callin BS on this one. Dumb feature implemented in a stupid way! Gotta call a spade a spade! Had to just disable...

My charge limit is 90% so whenever I get near my house under 46% it pings my phone with a notification saying, "Do you want to charge your vehicle"? What a stupid thing. Tesla software just seems so amateur :(

This was the info I found about it Googling. 2013 P85+ Upcoming Tesla Software Update Will Remind You to Plug In Your Vehicle If You Forget

ios. I get it every time I get near my house. It sucks a lot. Tesla rapidly imploding.

I did it's not there that I can tell. Is it in your photo and I don't see it? *again, I'm not looking to disable all notifications. Just this new one that reminds me to charge as described above.

There's a recent update that added a reminder to people who charge at home that when they return home and the vehicle is under 50% of their charge limit it sends them a notification on their phone. I couldn't find a way to disable this one notification. Can someone help me out? I do not want to...

I hope Tesla's economic slowdown and layoffs don't affect the service center. I want to get my car fixed! As an aside I've been looking forward to the new Wawa's opening in town to try out the Superchargers there and they seem to be dragging their feet too. It's beautiful weather, go build...

Any progress updates? How can I contact them?

Dang Model S has fallen hard if Cybertruck has a better interior :D I don't think a Model 3 is a small Model S. I think the Model S is now a bigger Model 3. No bueno.

Rivians look okay. Not really Model S competitor though. Also likely 2-5 years away from production.

The cheapening of the interiors is the number 1 reason I haven't bought a Tesla, particularly a Model s. Haptic buttons and touchscreen everything is a no-go for me. I liked the Mercedes switchgear just fine. I have many many complaints but that's the dealbreaker for me. Not going to press a...

Awesome. I want to be the first customer for the service center. Need some work done.

Then add in $25k for a battery replacement out of warranty :P

I've had one drive unit failure and I think they replaced another one as a preventative measure at one point as well. Tesla techs have told be they're common fail points and 2-3 years or 20-30k miles per replacement is not unusual. It does seem strange how unreliable the batteries and drive...

I'm totally fine with exclusivity. Just free market and social value stuff. If you are loaded with cash you can always by used. Best way to get the exclusive stuff is to build a relationship over the years. Buy some Cayenne's and 911's then trade in for the GT3. I'm curious to see what they...

I don't mind Porsche's a la carte system. It feels a bit bait and switch to see base MSRP then realize it'll probably be 50% more when you're done with options but that's exactly what they are, options. If you just add 50% to the MSRP in your head before starting a Porsche build you'll be...

Hey, good progress. I'm hoping it's open within a few months!

New Taycan refresh looks great. They're too small for me though. Very sporty and excellent for smaller drivers though. Pricy and no tax cuts though.

Now it's like cheap unknown origin haptic buttons and touchscreens. :( Bring back the Mercedes interior!

My Model S feels more premium than the new ones, largely because of the steering wheel and levers. I think they're mostly Mercedes parts, which is totally cool with me.

That's why I don't like seeing them go downmarket with the S and X refreshes. It should be a premium product and not just a bigger Model 3.

Honda briefly removed the physical volume knob and got railed in the media for it. They added it back in within a year or two. Tesla seems to be taking the we know what's best for you approach and consumers aren't buying it. I also like mechanical watches so I'm probably in the minority there...

More better faster! I'm interested in a new Model S/Model X type vehicle but Tesla is focusing 100% on Cybertruck, Roadster, Model 2 and likely Model Y refresh for the next 10 years and it's just a bummer. No interesting products on the horizon for their OG customers.

If I were Tesla I'd offer 4 vehicles and have all new versions every 6-10 years. A small crossover, a midsize crossover, a 3 row SUV, and a traditional pickup truck thing. And every once and a while have a limited run ultra high performance sports halo car thing. Their currently lineup feels old...

I only follow USA auto choices, sorry international folks. Not interested in marketshare discussions. I'm just discussing consumer info and trends. My mind is leaning towards American for the tax cuts, or potentially very reliable foreign brands like Porsche and Lexus. I'm still waiting for...

Crossovers are just convenient, comfortable, easy to get in and out of, hatchback makes for easy cargo hauling, higher ground clearance means less chance for damage. I've already ripped the bumper off my Model S on a normal sized parking curb. I'm too old for that slammed life and having to...

I don't see a lot of the Model S refresh changes as positives. I see many of them as cost cutting. The yoke, haptic buttons instead of real buttons, touchscreen gear change instead of stalks, the landscape screen. I see all of these as cost cutting negatives that make the product worse. For me...

Key word there is, "new" Camry. Tesla isn't making new stuff. It's just hoping people continue to buy the old stuff, which are doing in fewer numbers. Automakers generally need a new version every 6-10 years. Model S is 12-13 years old now.

I feel the opposite way you do on all points. The company seems to be in chaos with Elon saying he wants more control over pushing the company towards AI as a priority and sales/stock values going down even with new products and refreshes. I haven't seen much interest in the Cybertruck, Model...

Anyone else get vibes that Tesla/Elon has lost interest in cars and is focusing everything on autonomous/AI tech to ride that stock hype wave? The vehicles are feeling very long in the tooth and no ETA for interesting new things. I'm in the Cybertruck is vaporware camp. Maybe they will shock...

That Audi looks great. If they nail the landing that could be at the top of my list. I keep hoping they will expand the EV tax credit.

I've got about 3 years left on my battery warranty and so that's the timeline I'm giving myself to find a new car. I really like mine, when it works, but it's unreliable and the service experience is a nightmare. I just want Tesla to do what every other automaker has always done and make a new...

Looks good to me. Give it a 1 inch lift from factory on some 20 inch forged rims! make an extended wheelbase version as a Model X

The new Panamera looks great. It's not radically different just a ground up redo and better in every way except for no wagon now. Tesla just needs to make a new Model S and X. Similar style, just ground up redo with all the new tech available. I'd even suggest they don't try to make a track pack...

I feel like Tesla build quality hasn't been getting a lot better either. And their service centers/customer service, repair wait times and costs have been insanely horrible. They are still the value king for price per range/horsepower but I'm getting to the point where I don't care about...

Yea, Tesla is going more cheap, minimalism, automated, disposable. The recent Mercedes EQXX is lightweight and getting 600 mile range in prototype. It's not a pipe dream. The Model S is old. Lithium ion packs are pretty old at this point. It's not outlandish to expect better.

I just want like 1 inch higher ground clearance, easier ingress/egress, about 500 lbs lighter, 200 miles more range, no yolk, bring back stalks, greatly improve build quality reliability and repair costs. The design is fine with me and doesn't need to be changed. Just needs a re-engineer ground...

I feel like it's obvious that these models need an all new ground up rebuild. It seems like a smart idea to maybe combine the two and create a new mid/large size crossover without any special features like falcon wing doors. Just a really well designed and engineered simple $80kish crossover. A...

Hopefully someone can keep this thread updated with construction progress. Is it possible someone from Tesla that might have some info on when it should be open and who could be contacted to schedule a service and tour of the new building? I don't live nearby so I can't easily check regularly.

I actually drove by it today as well. I was amazed how much they cleared. Entire lot is about 10 feet dug out. They're really building a custom setup. I can't wait!

Mobile tech came and repaired the car yesterday. They don't make the fuse box my Model S uses so they had to salvage one from a scrap car. Even then they only got part of the fusebox so the tech had to create a new fuse box from 2 units Frankenstein style in my garage. Car is running again and...

I only paid for 1 tow and never again. Make tesla pay for the rest. AAA won't cover long distance towing. This is 3.5-4 hour towing. So the latest is service center overtightened/damaged my fuse box and broke the 12v battery and fuse box and other hardware. So it needs replacing but they...

Technician found a loose battery cable and crossthreaded nut on the fuse box. SC likely overtightened the nut and destroyed the fuse box, ruining the 12v battery. Just another flub up from the SC it seems. They also scratched up my rear bumper, as well as other scratches all over the car, and...

I denied their $500 estimate to replace the battery without inspecting the car. We'll see what happens tomorrow when they're supposed to show up.

I doubt 2 completely different 12v batteries would be faulty within a 2 year period. Too coincidental. Calling out Tesla on this one. Something is wrong on their end clearly. Especially considering they replaced the entire HV battery and 12v battery and car bricked the next day and is now...

My car doesn't sit for long periods of time. I drive only a little bit everyday and slow charge at home every 2 weeks or so to 80-90%. I've babied the car. I assume when Tesla SC installs a battery it's a "Tesla" part. I've never heard of any mechanic shop having no warranty on the work they...

They've replaced the 12v battery 2 times in the past 2 years. I'm not sure why it keeps failing and why they can't seem to fix it. It's a very expensive repair. And when it fails it bricks the car and leaves me stranded or worse. What a silly and major failure on Tesla's part. Has anyone had...
