    Regret purchasing FSD after the Ver 12 "upgrade" being crammed down my throat

    Curious, wouldn't having disabled FSD give you similar driving experience as your ICE car?

    FSD 12 and tow hitch bike rack

    Just a quick question - Have you tried FSD v12 with a rear bike rack that blocks the rear camera? I'm debating between getting a roof rack or a tow hitch, and while I know that a tow hitch bike rack or cargo box is more efficient, I also want to factor in whether a tow hitch bike rack will...

    Uberturbine Aero Covers

    Sorry didn't get to wash the car. :) Mine's the first gen 2018 model so I'm stuck with chrome trim, though I don't mind a little chrome at all.

    Uberturbine Aero Covers

    My friend was telling me about aftermarket hub caps the other day and I found a vendor on Amazon selling a set for $100 with a 50% coupon. I was almost tempted to buy another set for backup. :) Unfortunately that was the last set that the seller sold. The wheel caps were spray painted with...

    Gotta Rant! Windshield chip...NOT a Tesla problem...PSA

    My insurance referred me to the nearest autoglass place, where I then got my ding fixed next day. They then billed my insurance directly. Definitely worth calling first.

    I wouldnt buy a Model 3 again

    Wheel scrapped during parking... toss car into river. If I forget about my car's acceleration, handling, audio system, snappy navigation, voice commands, charging network, autopilot, FSD (yes I use it and love it), and reliability, I might consider getting another car. :) On a serious note...

    14-50 on 100 amp breaker? Ok to use?

    You're right, If for some reason the charger started pulling more than 50A or a short circuit, the receptacle can burn out before the breaker trips. I did not take into mind that the outlet is also part of the circuit, so the breaker gotta be designed for the lowest common denominator. And...

    Unsure if model 3 would be right for me - advice appreciated

    If you don't get a Tesla, get a Chevy Volt. Not only you don't have to pay for the high gas price, but if it burst in flames you can make them install new chargers as they re-model the garage. :)

    14-50 on 100 amp breaker? Ok to use?

    I'm not a EE but I am still baffled at the amount of responses suggesting you to install a 50amp breaker. It's like saying "you're using an iphone charger on your 20amp circuit? better change the breaker to a 1amp breaker!" Whether you have a 100amp breaker or a 50 amp breaker isn't...

    Any reason to upgrade 2018 M3 for 2022 M3P?

    Hardware 4 is the latest FSD computer. People found mentioning of it in the source code from an update 3 months back. Though there is zero information on which platform HW4 will appear on. It might be exclusive to the Cybertruck, or maybe the plaid. There's also rumor of new cameras being...

    Any reason to upgrade 2018 M3 for 2022 M3P?

    Sorry my wires crossed and I thought we're talking about the Model Y at the moment, probably because I personally am thinking of upgrading my 2018 M3 to a Y. :)

    Any reason to upgrade 2018 M3 for 2022 M3P?

    Personally I would wait for one with 4680 and the structural battery pack. But if you order now you will probably be getting that. There's also the potential for a HW4 for FSD so that might be worth waiting for if that's your thing.

    Do New Model 3s have UV/IR Blocking?

    3 years ago I was installing window tints on my M3, and out of curiosity I was testing out which brands of window tint offer better protection. I ended up diving into this UV protection rating rabbit hole and spent weeks researching the subject as there is barely any research or data testing...

    Do New Model 3s have UV/IR Blocking?

    If you feel any warmth that would be from IR radiation, which wouldn't cause you any harm. That's why UV light from tanning centers won't make you feel hot at all.

    Is it safe to use 70 amp breakers for home wall connectors to charge Model 3?

    Upon reading the rest of the thread I noticed that some people are using the amperage in outlet, circuit, and breaker interchangeably, and also having incorrect conception on how to choose the right sized circuit breaker. I then realized that this forum is a terrible place to be asking...
