    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    I've been a beta tester for four weeks now. First time posting here. I've noticed that FSD beta doesn't stick to smooth radius turns. It appears to "overfit" its intended path with very jerky steering wheel movements. When making a protected RIGHT turn, the car should have its path computed...

    Performance Waiting Room

    I got 16.3.2 this weekend...If that means I have HW3, then you made my day!

    Performance Waiting Room

    Got my white/white performance Model 3 (FSD) just over two weeks ago. NO REGRETS. I waited one month, but had my doubts while I was waiting. I considered changing my order to non-performance, non-white/white...I was getting cold feet.... ...Be patient and hang in there! I got my car (perfect...

    Sentry mode rather useless

    I received a software update this weekend that included Sentry Mode. It caught a teenager messing around with my P3D. I think it is a terrific upgrade. If the teen had actually done any harm, I could've identified him (another video clearly illustrates his license plate). If nothing else...

    White on White Interior Waiting is pain

    Hang in there! P3D white/white was worth waiting for in my humble opinion. I almost gave in, but I'm glad I didn't.

    White on White Interior Waiting is pain

    Replying to my own post to provide an update. The day after I made this post, I got my VIN, and less than 5 days later, I was driving my white/white P3D. I had a friend talk some sense into me about my fear of poor initial quality and having my Tesla dealer so far away from my home. He said...

    What defects have you found at/after delivery?

    I've been waiting since 4/28 for a VIN (none yet) for my white/white P3D FSD. My nearest Tesla dealership is 115 miles from my house. As much as a fanboy as I am, and as much as I *really* want my model 3, I'm seriously considering cancelling my order. I'm beginning to doubt that Tesla will...

    White on White Interior Waiting is pain

    Wow! I've *only* been waiting since 4/28 for a white/white P3D FSD, and I've also been thinking about cancelling. (Cold feet?) I already have made up my mind that if Tesla can't get it to me in time for the current tax credit (7/1 it goes down by $1875) I'm going to cancel. If they throw me...

    Waiting for white interior

    I'm a P3D white/white waiting since end of April. Tesla has said "May delivery," so I am patiently waiting.

    My VIN is gone!

    Same issue with the app. I used to have links to videos and access to my "loot box" now, nothing. I did a website purchase on 4/28 for P3D (white/white) +FSD, and I'm still looking at just an RN. I talked to my local dealer and the update they gave me is "May delivery." Eagerly awaiting a...

    VA Clean Fuel Plates: Worth the effort?

    OK--as a Hampton Roads guy, the Clean Special Fuel plate is practically meaningless. I guess they de-incentivized electric and hybrid car usage because there are so many of them on the road now...hah! Global warming---solved. Air pollution---solved! Nice job, VA. Whatever.

    What does a referral code do for the buyer and the person providing the referral code?

    Wow--I'm 115 miles away from my dealership, and I thought I was far. I plan on taking a train from Norfolk VA to Richmond VA on my pickup day, so I don't have to put my wife through all that driving. Hah! I'm going to take a train to go pick up my Tesla...how weird is that?

    What does a referral code do for the buyer and the person providing the referral code?

    Thanks for your reply-- I considered that option right after I realized that it didn't work right...except the price of FSD went up by $1,000, so I'd have to pay that extra cash if I were to cancel and start over. In another thread I explained that I gave the code I wanted to use to my Tesla...

    New Referral Program (March 2019)

    In a different thread, I described my mistake in not using the code properly in making my order. I considered cancelling my order so that I could re-initiate it with the code, but Tesla raised the price of FSD by $1,000 and to cancel and restart would mean I would have to pay $1,000 more...not...

    What does a referral code do for the buyer and the person providing the referral code?

    Noob Tesla (almost) owner here. My apologies to the folks who already know this (I didn't): In order to take advantage of the referral code (now 5,000 miles for new buyer and source of referral code, valid until 5/28), you *MUST* use the link given to you by the other person to start your...

    VA Clean Fuel Plates: Worth the effort?

    Personally, I see zero benefit to getting a new Clean Special Fuel plate. Am I missing something? $25/year for what?

    FSD Upgrade, yeah or nay?

    Automatic Lane Change and Navigate on Autopilot.

    FSD Upgrade, yeah or nay?

    My 2cents: Whether it is overpriced or not, I think FSD is a truly tangible way to embrace the future. Why did we all buy smartphones? I think those who have the "early-adopter" spirit, (which is every Tesla owner, in my humble opinion) will want to embrace FSD, even if it isn't fully ready...

    Tesla raising FSD by $3,000 on May 1st

    You are probably right, but Elon needs to figure out how to fix his cash flow. If he increases prices, then the secondary market (used cars) become more attractive. Consider this--when Tesla's tax credit goes away, (and with free supercharging no longer offered) older cars that already have...

    Tesla raising FSD by $3,000 on May 1st

    OK--sorry for the bad gouge. My sales rep tried to be helpful, but she clearly didn't have the latest info. I'm very impressed how quickly my post got read and responded to. I'm happy to join the club. I wound up buying online instead of at the dealer, though the sales rep encouraged me to...

    Referral bonus just increased to 5000 miles?!

    Another note...My sales rep told me that FSD will go up $3,000 on May 1st. I bought last night to lock in FSD for $5,000. If there are any fencesitters out there, take into consideration that FSD will cost $8,000 (new) in just two days. --H

    Referral bonus just increased to 5000 miles?!

    Just bought an P3D last night. I have my 5K mile referral code. I imagine I will have to accept delivery before I can set up supercharging and use a referral code. I am certainly willing to use your code/give my code to another new buyer. Let's take advantage of that 5K miles, right? Please...

    Tesla raising FSD by $3,000 on May 1st

    Apologies if this is "old news," but my sales rep told me on Saturday that if I was "on the fence" about buying a Model 3 with FSD, that I should consider that Tesla will be raising the price by $3,000 on May 1st. I read a story or two stating that this was coming, but I heard it from the lips...
