    Tesla need to allow FSD to belong to owner

    I agree, I've paid for FSD twice (my choice, no gun to my head), but I won't pay for it again for my 2021 Model S. I live in the Mid-west and was only seeing 7ish months of usage due to all the hazards (winter, rain, pot holes, fog, flashing yellow lights, shadows, construction) that prevents...

    FSD 12 perspective from a previous skeptic

    Great Review, I've purchased FSD for my 2018 Model S (hardware upgraded), 2020 Model Y, but have not chosen to purchase it for my 2021 Model S. I've participated in the Beta since it was open. FSD is great for long highway drives where there is no construction and the roads are good. You do...

    youtube app in tesla not allowing voice control [using youtube in browser instead of in car app]

    Still no solution?? This is annoying, YouTube not allowing the use of the microphone for searching…. This has nothing to do with driving and searching as anyone knows you can’t access YouTube while driving the Tesla. I’m sitting here at a charger trying to search a relatively long phrase I...

    Dealing with Allstate on Claim on my 2018 MS - includes DV

    So in December of 2019 right before x-mas, I was unfortunate enough to have a kid who was texting on his phone slam into a car (at roughly 30 MPH) at a stoplight which in turn pushed him into me. Everyone involved was ok, no injuries. The car that was hit took most of the shock so I didn't...

    MS 75D Charging

    Getting ready to travel from NW Indiana to Punta Gorda Florida in my MS 75D and have a question. I don't supercharge a lot but something I noticed is the SC in South Bend charges much faster at a low batter level than the SC in Michigan City. I normally SC around 5-7% when I need to. For this...

    Supercharger - Michigan City, IN

    Happy to report the Michigan City location is up and running (4/7/2020). I'm here now charging! No numbers on the chargers though... Third charger from the west not ramping up (maxed at 45 kW). Moved over to furthest charger to the west and hitting 100+kW. I've got a 75D, so not going to see...

    Our diminished value case is headed to trial

    Cruise Control Unavailable...

    IMO cruise control should have a standard alone feature to septate it from the sensors. I'm quite tired of the MS slamming on the breaks when a car crosses the road in front of me 1000' ahead. Very frustrating.....

    Cruise Control Unavailable...

    I have had this happen several times just driving to work (any weather) and on long drives. I have always had to pull over and do a full reset to fix the issue. I have the new 3.0 hardware but it did happen with the 2.5 hardware I used to have. Since it is impossible to have only cruise...

    Possible Battery Issue?

    I've got a 2018 75D that gets 246 fully charged. I've made a few trips to the Indianapolis Tesla service shop to get minor repairs done and noted it was using 206-214 miles worth of energy to travel 138 physical distance. This occurred with temperatures in the high 60's and is pretty much the...

    Tesla autopilot HW3

    I thought that based on what the Tesla service tech. told me. He said this upgrade will probably fix that issue. Lol and I believed him.... I don't mind the system being cautious but slamming on the brakes almost got me rear ended doing 55 on the highway which could have caused a multi car...

    Tesla autopilot HW3

    Just had the yellowing removed on the MCU of my 2018 MS 75D (9/2018 build date). I was told my car was slated for the HW3 update and they would be upgrading during that visit. I honestly didn't think I would be receiving that upgrade anytime soon. Figured the older versions would be the...

    Autopilot bobbing side to side

    Same problem here on my 2018 Model S 75D, I'm a new Tesla owner and just thought this was typical but from what I am reading I guess not.

    No sensor alerts when backing up?

    I moved from a Lincoln MKX to my Model S and one of the first things I noticed was when backing out of my drive the Model S doesn't warn me of approaching vehicles coming in either direction down the road. The Lincoln MKX would warn me of cars roughly 200' away coming at me. Yes I always look...

    Autopilot issues common?

    New 2018 Model S 75D owner here. Something that makes autopilot almost non usable for me is driving down a four lane Hwy. a car crosses 3-400 feet in front of you and the Model S slams on it's breaks for a second. This almost cause an accident as I had someone tailgating me while I was in the...

    Is this standard milage loss?

    Purchased a 2018 Model S 75D with 18k miles. When I picked it up it was at 60% charged, I took it home and the following week when Tesla transferred the VIN I headed to a Supercharger and increased my charging to use the max battery capacity. When supercharging was complete I had 241 miles. I...

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    Just bought a 2018 MS 75D, after opening for about 3 days a strange nose started occuring while using the AC. It is a deep bass sound that sounds like a baseball card in bike spokes and it allowed from a medium speed to zero. Then starts again about 1 min. later. This happens only when the...

    Model X Lease Buyout

    Just wondering if it is still true that you can perform a lease buyout at the end of a Model X lease from Tesla? I found this on their website: "Can I purchase my Tesla at the end of my lease? You can purchase your Model S or Model X at the end of the lease for its residual value, plus...

    Blog Report: Low Demand From Tesla Sends Panasonic Solar Cells Overseas

    Yeah Tesla is not installing in Indiana, I tried to got through them. This article is specifically about Tesla demand not this party demand. I think they anticipated a higher usage of panels through Tesla but their not seeing the volume. I am in the fence now between SunPower and Panasonic...

    Byton hopes to use Tesla Superchargers

    I believe Elon hoped that what he started would drive change and it certainly did. If he really meant for the EV world to take off in hopes of a better place Tesla needs to share that network. I'm not saying for free, Tesla did after all front all the money for the infrastructure but it's that...

    Question regarding Buying a Privately Owned Tesla

    I am trying to get out from under my Lincoln ATM and when that happens I will purchase a used Tesla Model S for my first electric car. I have heard stories in the past that buying used Tesla's that aren't "Certified" by Tesla can result in having the ability to use supercharging stations turned...
