    12v battery issue, Tesla unsatisfactory response

    How about a warning so we can actually fix them before they go bad??

    12v battery issue, Tesla unsatisfactory response

    Agree totally... instead of educating “kids” at oreilly autoparts who “haven’t heard of a Tesla” maybe tsla could tell them what battery they use??? Seems easy enough

    12v battery issue, Tesla unsatisfactory response

    Just say that out loud again in a mirror.... you had to educate a worker at a professional shop!! Wtf do you expect a “normal”person to do?? Read 17 pages of this *sugar* and then go educate a kid???

    Airstream towing (Bambi) range?

    I think that’s a great overall guess at ~500

    12v battery issue, Tesla unsatisfactory response

    It’s was 120 on the nose which is like 50 too much I’m sure... but again sorry to all the engineers who think I’m super lazy, I really do like fixing my own stuff when possible.

    12v battery issue, Tesla unsatisfactory response

    For the record I am WAY long tsla and have loved all of their vehicles. tesla service 800 number couldn’t tell me today wether or not lake forest or Santa Ana had a battery in stock, nobody could be reached at either store for the 2 hours I tried on hold. Even Tesla service cannot see what...

    12v battery issue, Tesla unsatisfactory response

    I could actually buy a battery and change it, when you call around to ALL local part suppliers and ask for a Tesla 12v battery they have no options. Do you not see the difference? I’m not trying to be bitchy here at all it’s just crazy 1- the difference from a few years ago with service and 2-...

    12v battery issue, Tesla unsatisfactory response

    Yeah the manual that’s on the screen of the car eh? You’d have to quickly think about logging in to the main website then figuring out where to go, what to search for etc etc. I even explained to this person of the REAL dangers to your point about the dogs or kids, I am not exaggerating...

    12v battery issue, Tesla unsatisfactory response

    3rd new Tesla I’ve owned, relatively minor problems with my 3 until today when without a SINGLE warning my 12v is apparently dead? Car will not turn on for about 30 minutes, finally got it on, drove it forward 5 feet and tried to roll the window back up... bad call. Window is now stuck down...

    Can you turn off the rear parking sensors with a bike rack?

    What a great update that would be... seems like an easy thing to implement for them, sort of like auto windshield wipers turning on while getting into their vehicle:) that was fixed easily enough.

    I’d wait 100%.... no question

    Who Has The Highest Mileage 3?

    Are you averaging 242 wh/mi??? I have a p3 and with the 20” anchors on after 59k miles I’m at 281 wh/mi and really wishing I could put 18’s aero wheels on for winter time.

    FSD Visualizations!!!

    Have heard the same thing, I think the entire fleet is further away from getting hw3 installed than partial city driving coming to everyone.

    2020 Long Range vs 2018 P100D

    I would go raven all the way period.... I have also heard of tesla taking away fusc when it’s transferred to a new owner. I’m a huge fan of the new motors on raven cars and the x needs all the help it can get for more miles per charge.

    Elon Confirms that the FSD sneak peak is for car with HW3 only

    Maybe just retrofit the cars then sneak peak everyone?? I’ve had 3 new Tesla’s now and I have to say it’s very hard to be happy with my ap2.0 car knowing full well they likely won’t update it for a LONG time even tho I paid for it over 3 years ago. It’s frustrating to say the least. My car...

    service center survey - pissed off customer

    I’m typically a huge huge fan of tesla service but I’m about to cross the 50k mile mark on my model 3 so I wanted to bring it in to fix a few rattles I had. For the first time I went to the new Carlsbad service center instead of Costa Mesa and they had a new “manager” who tried to tell me that...

    Cost of ownership of buying Model 3 vs keeping my M235i.

    So I get to see first hand with used model 3’s go for at auction when repo’d. They’re unreal with their resale value. I recently auctioned off a sr white on white 2018 with 14k miles and it brought 42500 plus 500 auction fee transport etc... I will agree on the “loaded” vehicles it’s not as...

    Ludicrous Delivery?

    Sorry last sentence was fat fingered. Tesla has a very good reputation of making things right, don’t be nervous upon delivery and I’m sure your car is going to be amazing. Enjoy it!! also tesla resale value is unlike any other car out there, enjoy it

    Ludicrous Delivery?

    I have purchased 4 new vehicles from Tesla... and 1 of them had a singular issue (it was one of the very first model x’s amd a piece of trim on the R rear door didn’t perfectly align with the front. It took them no time at all and wenwere of. i think perhaps the verbiage and of course the...

    2019.40.1.1

    I do not have the new update and it’s been happening to me for quite some time. I do not think it’s new but perhaps it’s more frequent now or maybe it slows down quicker so it’s more Noticeable to you

    2019.40.1.1

    My car does the same thing before going through toll booths on the 241 freeway (not free since we luckily get to pay someone indefinitely now for the opportunity to to drive on a California “freeway”) but it’s exactly the same as you mention. Tacc set to 80 and it will fit no apparent reason...

    Deteriorating Range P90DL

    I forget the exact number of usable Kw’s on the 90 but I believe it’s 82 or 83?? The 75 has 75 and to the 100 battery pack has something like 101-102kw. We just traded out our 2016 90d x to a 2018 100d x and it’s truly like going from a 75 to a 100. Massive change for us.

    V3 chargers

    So basically what Tam was saying is just the long range model 3 or anything spec’d above that can currently utilize the full power of v3 charger

    Any with this issue resolved? Just started on my wife’s dec 2017 build model x. Lights on the wheel work but no buttons and no horn.

    2019.36.2.1 for Raven performance

    It’s frustrating when they change prices around so much...
  30. Tjhappel

    Model X now 328 mile range

    You averaged 277 wh/mi??? That’s got to be some of the best consumption possible in an x. In my wife’s 90 she’s getting 390 or so and on my p3 I get 278 over 50k miles. we do not have the new raven X but sounds like it’s way more efficient.

    Considering Upgrading my 2018 LR AWD - Would you?

    I would definitely wait to see what the new update on the s looks like. 6-9 months won’t kill you to keep driving it and honesty the P isn’t worth it, unless your tracking the car it’s way too much money to trade it in and loose taxes etc etc. Your car is worth 40k + at wholesale auction FYI.

    Rear motor failure (on a trip out of town)

    And do not be scared to go in a road trip, I have 50k on my 3 and haven’t visited a shop yet.... wife has 90 on her x and same boat.

    Rear motor failure (on a trip out of town)

    Yeah your in a very very rare circle of people with rear motor failures on a model 3. As poster above stated with s/x it was a whine not necessarily a bad motor. I’ve hear very very little about motors going bad on the 3. sorry everything was closed but like mentioned above you get a new...

    2019.32.2.2 Blindspot Detection Limited on back country roads..?

    Happened to me today, I have never had an issue before with this and it happened on a road similar what you wrote about. It was perfectly fine freeway driving.. only happened with this update. I’m sure next update fixes it or in your case your next set of cameras, hw3 computer and mcu.

    Lease Returns After Buying FSD

    There was zero... again it’s an easy fix. All of these cars are doing way more money on the re sale market than what they expected so All lease returns have HUGE built in margins due to stronger than expected demand on resale market. Tesla can do the right thing easily and I hope and think...

    Lease Returns After Buying FSD

    Well honestly they paid for a 2-3 year lease and bought something that was right around the corner... we are keeping out nov 2016 model x w fsd even tho we want a new one, I can’t wait for them to replace the computer in our early build car! I do actually feel bad for those who bought it on...

    2019.32.1 Update: (slightly) Increased Range?

    Weird... do you think it could be just like a normal charge night where it’s not always the exact same? My car goes up/down ~ 3-4 miles nightly.

    AP locking onto cars in the other lane and slowing down to their speed

    During the fsd day presentation Karpathy touched on this saying it’s the computer guessing what the car in front would do based on what it had been doing. This is a known issue ams they’re definitely making progress imo on the slamming brakes for no reason when the driver is only even on a...

    Is Model X a good high mileage car?

    I did the exact same thing you are inquiring about, I drive 35-50k a year. We bought a December 2016 90d with ap2. I put 75k on it with very little issues except for the delivery where nothing lined up etc... but since then it’s been great! I gave it to my wife at 80k miles and now I drive a...

    Seems like FSD is a complete crock

    No way, ap on California freeways is absolutely exceptional. NoA ehhhhh but on 2 lane highways like 395 to mammoth it does a fine job. Actual ap tho is very very good on freeways right now.

    Tesla no longer matches Carmax on Tesla Trade-Ins?

    Tesla sells cars at auction just let carmax does, the only difference now is carmax used to “not” retail any tesla’s at all and now they do so if you have a clean car they want for retail they will pay big money for it. On non tesla trades usually anyone will March carmax.

    Andrej Karpathy Very Negative about Computer Vision?

    So the guy who posted this should re name it?? Like “Andrej is a believer” or “wow he changed his mind after 9 years of work?” Or he’s digging up some obscure thing he said like 15 years ago when he was in middle school.
  46. Tjhappel

    Andrej Karpathy Very Negative about Computer Vision?

    Yeah... I shouldn’t have said that but it’s crazy when you read some of these threads, like 14 years ago Elon blah blah blah. Anyway excited for tomorrow so we can all see what Andrej has been up to!

    Model S doesn’t get cheaper then $25k due to scrap values?

    Yes used auction value of wrecked 2013 60’s are still above 22k. Like totally salvaged etc.. I’ve never seen a wrecked 100 do less than 30k

    Elon: "Feature complete for full self driving this year"

    Yes we all wish hotz would have taken the Tesla job Elon offered.... it would or could have been amazing but it didn’t happen. It’ll be interesting to see v3. Can’t wait till very green gets his hands on it. Thanks for all the info, it’s fun to read and speculate on.
