I got my appointment scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, and the service tech sent a message saying that the estimated time of completion is 3-4 days or less. That seems absurd to me on a job that I've read the mobile techs have knocked out in a couple hours time. The tech said that Tesla...

For what it's worth, I purchased the EAP to FSD upgrade on Sunday for $2000 and immediately scheduled to have the hardware installed on my 2018 M3. My local SC showed an estimate of $2000+tax, and I sent a message stating that I just purchased it and I shouldn't have to pay anything more for...

Paging Toonces, I'm seeing some FSD parallels here. :D

Autopilot's intended domain is limited access freeways. If there is a break in the lane lines (as there likely would be at an intersection), you can expect the computer to respond like this, at least until you get onto FSD beta. This is not phantom braking, which typically does not coincide...

This is begging for an AR HUD solution. But there hasn't been a whisper of speculation about that since before the Model 3 reveal. I bet Elon decided way back that a HUD and the development required to produce one would just be a waste of resources since the cars were just going to drive...

That's true of course; by permanently I meant that no sticker with an expiration date would be required. But as long as three wheeled vehicles are considered motorcycles, and motorcycles maintain HOV lane access, they're good to go. I just don't want to see anyone trying to split lanes in an...

Here in California, it would qualify for the HOV lane permanently (no annoying "good-for-a-few-years" stickers required). Combining that with its unmatched efficiency, it would be the ultimate commuter car. But only if you can look past its width and aerodynamic styling.

Aptera just said this past Friday in a release that they are essentially "pencils down" on the design, but then popular demand for DC fast charging forced them just a few days later to work with Tesla to get that implemented. Since they were already committed to using Tesla's NACS connector...

No Twitter (or other social media accounts) for me. Feel free to steal the idea and tweet it at him yourself though. As a Model 3 owner with a PowerWall, I'd be happy enough if they were just able to implement it. I've got to think that someone else already thought of it, and there's a...

I wonder if Tesla could lock it down so that their vehicles could only transfer energy to PowerWall(s). That would eliminate the PowerWall sales cannibalization that V2X presents, and would actually incentivize homeowners who already own a Tesla vehicle to buy a PowerWall, if they don't have...

Just chiming in to say that this right stalk overloading affected me years back, details in this post. As best I recall back when it happened in early 2019, you had to actually tap a button to bring up the rear camera view, there wasn't an option to have it come up automatically in reverse.

I got notification about the 2022.40.4.2 update yesterday, installed it (was on 2022.36.6), and when I went to drive this morning all my settings and profile were wiped out. I was running late for work, and had to use my key card to get the car started because my phone was no longer connected...

I'm curious as to how you got free unlimited supercharging on a RWD? I thought that the only Model 3's that ever got that were the Performance that didn't later opt to ditch it for the $5000 refund.

Nobody has pointed out yet that Autopilot is not designed to be used on undivided highways where traffic is coming at you from the other way or turning across the lane ahead of you. An argument can be made that Tesla shouldn't allow you to enable it in those locations, but they do. And, as...

I've had mine set up to Export Everything for at least a week now. It worked as expected (or close to it) for a couple of days, but doesn't any longer. I've edited my schedule so that there is only Peak from 5pm-8pm (weekdays), the rest is Off-Peak. I also changed the sell price for Off Peak...
