    I need to pee.... DAD, I need to pee!

    Does anybody know how to use the navigation (Model 3) to identify the next upcoming gas station or rest area on-route while driving on the highway in Europe??? Having small kids I run into this problem all the time. My Mercedes has this feature in the Navi that is always shows how many...

    With two young kids in the back I get this phrase regularly while driving on the highway (Europe).... Please help me find out how I quick and easy find the answer to how far it is to the next highway gas station (Raststätte) on my route. I have tried to ask the navi in all sorts of ways but it...

    FSD rewrite will go out on Oct 20 to limited beta

    The fact that Tesla has always been at risk of going bottom up has made it somewhat understandable that Elon was always trying to sell things that were not finished. However, with the impressive shareprice increases there really is no reason left to promise more than reality. Hence I sincerely...

    FSD rewrite will go out on Oct 20 to limited beta

    Yeap - very likely. And Tesla need to deliver it this year - otherwise it would be the second time they miss the “by end of year” deadline. Personally it would have gone a long way for me if Elon had provided a tiny apology or acknowledgement that this was due by end 2019, and bla bla bla...

    The Cancer that is Phantom Braking

    Damn it - i noticed 2020.32 being worse and was hoping 2020.36 would get better. I am so tired of being part of Teslas software development team.

    Navigate on Autopilot is Useless (2018.42.3)

    Not really buying that being true but even if it was then it is a really sad trade off tesla made. Taking basic stuff below standard to make AP work - not ok.

    Navigate on Autopilot is Useless (2018.42.3)

    My 2010 Mercedes E350 has less Phantom braking than my 2019 Model 3 with the full FSD package :-( It is an enigma to me why my Tesla continues to have this problem. It was solved a decade ago so why on earth is Tesla struggling so much with getting it right???

    Start ICE car with flat battery using M3?

    Thanks all I am not going to risk my favorite car . Just needed to know if there was a hack - but no. I am actually about to sell the old bugger - if anybody is actually going to pay money for it

    Navigation update 2020.12 is out!

    Newer Teslas cannot read speed signs so your car will inevitably get it wrong every time map date deviate from reality (75% as you observed). The AP1 teslas can do it but Elon decided years ago to stop paying the company who holds the patent on this technology and removed this function from cars...

    Speed-limit sign reading coming “soon!”

    If there was a “workaround” they would have done it long time ago. More likely they are now making a deal with mobileye - swapping patents or simply paying the licensing fee. Elon has been silent on reading speed signs for long time so the fact he says “soon” likely means the deal with...

    Thanks for sharing that! Time will tell what soon means. Elon is not the most credible man I know.

    The Cancer that is Phantom Braking

    That is also my suspicion based in similar experiences. MObileEye holds the patent to 2030 so my car will a pile of rust before it gets real time speed limit detection. Teslas will never achieve any FSD without ability to read speed sign as you pass them - simple fact.

    Safety in City Driving?

    I have a M3 with all the latest bells and whistles and I am sorry to say that what you are looking for is not available in this car. It will do stop and go traffic very well and keep you on the lane you are driving in. But it will not prevent you from backing into things, hitting suddenly...

    Patent expiry on speed sign reading

    Hi All Does anybody know when the patent(s) on reading speed signs that Mobile Eye holds will expire? (These are possibly the reason why new Teslas are unable to read speed signs as it passes them).

    Hi all, Any ideas for new rims that have become available this spring??? I love the Ronal R51 - unfortunately it is only availble for Model 3 performance in 20”. My preference is 18” or 19”. Have a great spring out there

    2020.8.1 Another useless update for most of us

    I DO look forward to the 2020.08 update because it supposedly should fix the voice command issues I am having. However - that is simply fixing something that is not working. So I very much sympathise with the heading of the thread. A lot of what gets updated are fixed to things there were not...

    90% charged - in app range estimate

    The point of the poll is actually to understand the spread for a given model - so ok for me that there are different conditions, age, battery wear, configurations, etc I mean the value displayed in the app when 90% charged! Also, please choose the higher range if your estimate hits the...

    90% charged - in app range estimate

    Curious what the spread is on the range estimates (the on provided in the app) when 90% charged :-) This is for M3 AWD long range ONLY. Kindly be courteous and not polute thread and poll with estimates from other versions. If your car is in miles then simply convert to kilometers.

    What will happen within the next 6 1/2 weeks?

    Tesla is often quick to release updates with features that are not perfected yet. With NOA on highways it is a major news event every time a Tesla driver hurts or kills himself while using the beta feature. Automatic city driving has potential to severely backfire because now it is not the...

    OMG that truck is fugly!

    Missed opportunity to transition traditional ICE truck drivers to a more sustainable future. This truck will likely end up as an additional “pet” car for affluent americans that might even have an EV already.

    Model 3 Accessories

    Auto Pilot Is Dangerous

    Whau - scary videos. Glad you and toddler survived this AP incidence. To me writing “beta” or disclaimers in manual doesn’t matter. The underlying problem is that Tesla happily deploy functions that are 95% finished and then improve on them in real world. Other car companies have chosen to make...
