    Rear ended another vehicle, not blaming Tesla but wondering why AEB did not activate?

    Sorry to hear that!... I recently had a similar accident. Merging just like you were, through it was a double lane of merging and an SUV cut me off moving right to left across the two merge lands and then slammed on the brakes and I didn't manage to get stopped. AP, nor TACC, were on. The AEB...

    Climate Hero Kids

    Thanks Runt8! I wish we could have it out by Christmas, though the publishing world's pace is preventing that. Think we are really onto something fun and compelling. Thanks for the encouragement! And please do sign up to our mailing list to be kept up to date as we make progress...

    LOL! I'm not him, though that is funny! If he's a Tesla driver and Climate Action supporter, maybe we could enlist his support ;)

    Modifying the Tesla Center Console for phones in cases (Pictures Included)

    Andy you rock! 30 mins of tinkering and a little work with a knife and it works and saved tons of bucks and frustration! Cheers, Paul.

    Model 3 Roof Rack Options

    Anybody hear anything recent on this? Even the Tesla service guys that I know still have zero answer... one even said "the 3 is an around-town city car... S and X are for loading up with skis and bikes"... my jaw dropped open. Starting to sound like no solutions (without suction cups or...

    Buyer beware. Buying a CPO Tesla feels like a SCAM.

    Our CPO purchased 2015 S that we bought a year ago has been awesome and the few things that needed attention at delivery time were addressed quickly and with great service by Tesla.

    Model 3 Roof Rack Options

    Unreal that Tesla still has said nothing on this. As a skiing and biking family, we can't buy the 3 until they explain how a rack that is removable can be used... and not suction cups, or hooks that go inside the door frame.

    So sick of the negativity

    Awesome post! Of all the fellow T drivers I meet, I have never found even one who regrets the purchase or who doesn't try to explain to everybody he/she meets that this is the future and it's awesome in more ways than we can convey in a couple minutes. Let the haters and shorters keep...

    Buyer beware. Buying a CPO Tesla feels like a SCAM.

    Glad they did right by you in the end. Don't bail man... we bought a CPO 2015 S a year ago and have loved every minute of it and their service (in Vancouver, Canada). Don't let a couple bad eggs spoil a great long term experience for you ;)

    Model 3 Roof Rack Options

    2 Tesla sales people have said that racks will only connect in to the Model 3 on the solid roof version (not glass roof). I see the photo above, but anybody hear anything different lately direct from a Tesla person? At the very least, bundling the glass roof with the premium package is a...

    Brakes temporarily not working!

    T could do something like this via software, no? I forwarded this video to them when I got the usual post-service email questionnaire.

    Brakes temporarily not working!

    Scary stuff really. I feel like they need to find a real solution, instead of making excuses about regen, etc. Somebody is going to get badly hurt if they don't solve this... especially when the 3 is shipping in high volume.

    Brakes temporarily not working!

    They said I already had revised pads and splash shields, and that to prevent this in the future we should turn regen to low from time to time in the winter in our dirty/salty climate to keep the pads floating freely in their mounts on the callipers. I'm not entirely comfortable with this...
