    autopilot lane change updated?

    I noticed AP doesn't turn off with lane change anymore and it even does the lane change for me. Is this part of FSD free trial? I have FSD off and have only AP on so I was not sure.

    New Model 3 owner Questions

    I don't like the one I have because the mat gets caught by the seat frame when I slide the seat forward. But it seems all of them are designed similarly. I had to trim mine because the low front edge could not clear the mat.

    Window is not making proper contact with the seal

    My trim is actually slightly deformed at the corner near the B pillar on the driver side. I can see that the dip in the trim is preventing the glass from making a good seal.

    Insurance not dependent on the Trim level?

    makes sense. faster = more risk. higher msrp = more expensive to replace

    Insurance not dependent on the Trim level?

    My insurance company, American Family insurance, is saying my Model 3 VIIN is showing it is a Long range model. Mine is a Standard range and I confirmed the VIN is correct. But they are saying the insurance premium is not affected by which trim level it is. How could that be? Isn't faster and...

    Depreciation on a used Model 3?

    I would buy a new one if you qualify for $7500 tax credit. New inventory vehicle can be had for $38xxx. and when you get $7500 back, it is basically ~ $31000 before state incentive. In three years it will be about 60-65% of new vehicle.

    Model 3 trunk power lift failure

    are you sure it is not the safety feature where the camera determines if there is enough clearance when opening the trunk? The garage door looks very close.

    Lease return - wrong fees charged - Tesla took fees using autopay

    EVs Fall Short of EPA Estimates by a Much Larger Margin Than ICE in Real-World Highway Testing

    I was surprised the first time when i went 75-80mph during a trip to Seattle. Surprised, Panicked, disappointed, and came to an understanding and agreement. No more. I drive ICE for trips. But it is an amazing in town car, no doubt.

    Got hit by another car, how bad is this kind of damage?

    My wild guess is $25000. Fortunately, there is no motor, axle, transmission or radiator in the front. Hopefully, the battery is intact.

    Inventory vs. Customer Order

    They are not necessarily rejected cars, IMO. Dealerships operate like that. Tesla is a hybrid system with and without dealership, IMO. They want to have some inventory to keep the sales smooth. If they waited to build the car they could see down times and rush times toward the end of the quarter...

    Latest Price Drop Discussion

    Instead of lowering prices on the high profit performance awd, I would have created higher trim to attract Porsche and exotic car drivers. Higher trim with exclusive colors, wheels, and aero kit.

    Package Pricing

    I have to agree with op. When I was checking out Tesla last year, I fell for that a couple of times but since then I have gotten used to it. I mentally add $1200 when checking the prices.
