Turn off Automatic Set Speed Offset in the Autopilot settings and it will behave more normally.

Thanks, I knew it was old and it has been years since any upgrades or enhancements. I guess so old it does not even have a version number!

So if EAP is not FSD V11 highway stack (which I am certain it is not), what version is it (currently)?

Contact your Tesla SA. No one on here can fix it. Only Tesla can fix it.

What is the passenger door behavior?

Driver's door jam has the build placard with all sorts of good stuff on it, including build date. It only lists month and year, but I know it was in local inventory on April 8, and it is marked as a 4/23 build, so it must have been early April.

Second this. Also early April build. Same behavior. The FWDs work fine and as expected in tight places.

Well, I have to agree this is stupid, but the plan is to replace both the door sensors and bumper sensors with vision in a software update "coming soon" (Elon time).

The wheels are different widths front to back, so that might weigh in here. The right way to do it would be to buy front wheels to replace the rears so that they are the same all around. This may affect towing, loading and handling, however.

Range?

This is a very astute observation. Thanks!

I'd say you are in the minority. Tesla knows that and would have to have some way of offering options AND the tax credit.

Unless you want ONLY the white/black 5-seat, 20" wheel model to qualify, they would have to drop the price to around $75k to allow for a few options, at least. $75k in the current config will never happen. Perhaps a de-contented version (RWD, removal of premium features, etc), but not the...

It would have to be well under $80k to allow customers to select common options (non-white paint, more than 5 seats, etc.). I don't think they would do $79,990 for a white/black 5 seater.

This change is for Model S only.

You can look for yourself. Last week there was around 1,060 cars nationwide. Today I see 1,114. https://tesla-info.com/for-sale/US/MX/?state=All&sale=New&variant=LR&sort=PA&min=0&max=9999999&minyear=2023&maxyear=2023&search=

My experience looking at new refresh Model X at the local store is that the doors on HW3 cars open all the way and that the HW4 cars doors do not.

I think it is way more likely to be an upcoming price cut and/or introduction of a less full-featured model, maybe even to get it below the $80k tax credit threshold?

I was told my my SA to look at the cameras themselves (on the pillars and fenders). If the lenses have a red tint to them they are the HW4 cameras. If the tint is gray/green they are HW 3

I stopped by yesterday and got a few pics, this being the best. It sure looks to be within a week or two of completion.

Actually, it is $0.0816 24/7! Amazingly cheap. Solar is on the order of a 20-year return on investment.

I totally agree. In the common wind between The Dalles and Pendleton, this is often a challenging stretch. Tesla needs to put a 250 somewhere in between. Until then, another great option would be the release of Tesla's CCS adapter in the US.

Note that the numbering/lettering is not always in numerical order. For example, the south stalls in Springfield, OR are set up as 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 1B, 2B, 3B, 4B. So, the person you are parked next to is not sharing power with you - the person 4 stalls down is. Strange and confusing. Just...

I bought mine from Tesla online. After receiving it, I emailed them the form and they refunded my sales tax a few days later.

I was under the impression it is the sales tax rate of the address with which the vehicle is registered.

OK, thanks. I still just see an order number. I'll be patient.

We had the exact same plan, message yesterday and good outlook for the plan coming together! We don't have a VIN listed, did you have to look in the web page source code to find yours?

I will be making the trip from Reno to Klamath Falls next month. It is a long, dry run (about 260 miles). Will stop at the Susanville Red Lion for an hour of destination charging. It sure would be nice if it was a SC!

What TACC distance do you set for drafting a semi? I have never done it for fear of rock chips on the hood.

Amps? You mean KW? Centralia is 150kW max. Chademo is 50kW max. What was your state of charge? If more than about 40% you won't see 250kW at a Gen 3 Supercharger.

It is 13 miles from the turnoff of the highway up to Hoh.

You said you were going to Hoh rain forest. You will be just a few miles from Forks when you go there. It is a Gen 3 250kW station.

So how about the new Supercharger in Forks?

Just tent camp in the RV camp loop (B). All of those sites have electric. Also, there is a Supercharger in Forks now.

Stopped by this afternoon (I was curious myself). They are all still dead. Superchargers were very busy, though!

I was there several weeks ago. Most definitely V3.

Tesla models under $45,000 DO qualify for the sales tax exemption. This includes the Model 3 SR & SR+.

With a new Supercharger just down the road in Tumwater a few miles, I don't see this becoming a Supercharging station. Maybe a set of destination chargers or even 72kW Superchargers, but nothing for road tripping.

Your car needs to be in Park to activate. Also, I believe you have to have purchased FSD Capability.

Went by this afternoon about 5:00. Still no power. What a nice location and setup, though!

Honestly, the purpose of Superchargers is not to serve those who cannot charge at home. It is to serve road trippers. That is why most Superchargers are NOT in urban areas, but on the outskirts and along major highways.

Charge speed is also dependent upon your battery's state of charge (SoC). From about 10-50% you should see full speed on a normal Supercharger. Above 50% it will drop off and around 90-95% it will drop to near Level 2 charger speeds.

Detergent soap will remove all trace of any wax on your paint. If that is what you are aiming for (a fresh surface to wax), then use it. Otherwise, use non-detergent car wash soap. Once washed, I highly recommend using a clay bar kit to remove any physical contaminants on the paint before waxing.

I stopped by today and the Superchargers are certainly up and running. However, the Destination chargers all appear to have no power (I only checked a couple but no lights on any of them).

I have. been using 90% rubbing alcohol for 3 weeks now with no adverse affects.

Using the huge under-floor compartments (2 of them) will eliminate this problem for all but the largest items.

I understand that the Wi-Fi antenna is in the passenger mirror housing, if that helps.

I went by there today and all 8 destination chargers have Telsa plugs on them.

Stopped by this afternoon. Talked to electrician working the site. He said power should be on in a few days, then we will be waiting for inspections from the utility. He thought for sure it would be open by the end of this month. Also, it is clear in the first picture that the lines will be...
