    I have pre-paid FSD but Tesla is not releasing the beta to me for years

    Sounds like a reply from a Tesla employee:) I bought FSD alpha, did not get either that or the beta, so which part of FSD did my cars get??? I just wish they would communicate--I probably would have paid for the MCU2 upgrade if I knew, but it's the lack of simple communication with the nearly...

    I have pre-paid FSD but Tesla is not releasing the beta to me for years

    " upset because they do not have FSD Beta and complaining that tesla has not communicated what the requirements for FSD BETA were. Is that the complaint?" correct, is that an invalid reason for complaint and being upset? I specifically paid higher price for the cars bc they had FSD prepaid.

    I have pre-paid FSD but Tesla is not releasing the beta to me for years

    Thanks for the details, both cars have MCU1, HW3, and AP3 cameras, does that mean I have to pay for the MCU2 upgrade and then FSD will be sent? if so, I cannot believe how poorly Tesla communicates about this for years.

    I have pre-paid FSD but Tesla is not releasing the beta to me for years

    I wonder if others were in the same situation and have suggestions on how to proceed. I bought 4 used Teslas directly from Tesla, all had FSD, 2 of them got it years ago, the other 2 had the hardware upgraded to 3.0 and have messages stating the FSD will be released in the upcoming software...

    M3 with FSD BETA for sale

    This car has the FSD Beta-- a $12,000 option that's very hard to get because one has to continuously maintain a "satisfactory" safety score for a period of time and then be lucky enough be part of the release--it took me months. Long range, rear wheel drive, probably close to 320 mi on full...

    Dead End - climate change - pandemic song with Tesla footage

    I wrote lyrics and music a few years ago, and now the times were "right" to record an updated version while in self-isolation. Please let me know what you think.

    EAP disappeared/not there after private party purchase

    Wow, does this mean: 1. So if I sell directly to private party my MX with FSD it will transfer FSD to the new owner? 1a. Will that second owner be able to transfer FSD to the 3rd owner? 2. If I sell the car to a dealer and dealer does not "transfer" or "activate" the FSD in their name then sell...

    Selling Tesla in this time of need...

    Judging from your profile pic you bought a MS with a bio defense mode? Those may be increasing in price shortly due to higher demand if this virus continues spreading. Hey, it's not a zero chance scenario.

    TSLA long - Toyota, GM, Starbucks Royal Caribbean short or what is your strategy to survive

    There are always risks, my friend hershey101 -- I drive two Teslas ONLY because I took the risks. I got in at high 200's on TSLA, so I benefited greatly by buying on margin. Then I sold some shares in 500's just to cover the margin, made a ton of dow. But depending on how this unfolds I am...

    TSLA long - Toyota, GM, Starbucks Royal Caribbean short or what is your strategy to survive

    I held only TSLA shares in my portfolio for years painfully (hey, even Warrant Buffet said that investing in a bunch of stocks and indexes makes little sense if you wish to be above the average) until this crises, and I wish to somehow hold on to the Tesla shares which I even bough on margin...

    Should I return? Have to decide now 3/27/2020

    Just wanted to add, the minute you put a little scratch or ding on your car the list of it's current imperfections gets blurry.

    Should I return? Have to decide now 3/27/2020

    I would return it but only IF and because you are missing the forest for the trees. I have the X and the S with probably half of those items and at least a few more insignificant ones. Just have them correct the big ones and live with imperfections and enjoy while it lasts. Life is too short to...

    SR or SR+ with AWD only

    I happen to have ordered the LR Model Y with a single motor. Do you all think those will come sooner? What would the range then be, given the recent increase?

    Model X as a snow plow? Colorado snowstorm footage

    It was a fluffy snow, so no damage to the car. The music is my Just Chill original instrumental piece recorded on Roli Seaboard MIDI keyboard a few weeks ago. My Model X has Nokian studded tires.

    2016 it was, you are right. It had autopilot 1.0, which still handled autobahn and all their numerous construction zones beautifully.

    Model S in the wild pics

    The guy is actually very reasonable, dropped the price now to like $60 a day (prob cheapest in Europe) as he is trying to recover some of the cost from this beautiful white 2015 MS 75kwh. HIs location is def off the beaten path, but not too far from Stuttgart, if anyone wants I can find his Turo...

    Have something stuck in the vent under the driver seat? Vacuum it out

    I just went through this dilemma twice as my wife's bag fell and something fell into the plastic vent under the driver's seat. It rattled for months driving us nuts. Today I used one of the powerful vacuums for $1 at the carwash and stuck the nuzzle into the vent, while using both hands to cover...

    BYND Beyond Meat out of main

    I think that’s your answer right there. Americans simply overheat, and I agree with you about the sugar, which leads to over eating and obesity. If these problems were not present I’ll bet US average lifespan would be somewhere close to Japan’s.

    BYND Beyond Meat out of main

    Switching to vegan is like switching to EV's in my view: 1. You get a LOT more power (meat and it's fats and impurities just takes so much energy to digest) 2. You require a LOT less maintenance for your body. 3. It just makes financial sense as meat is way too expensive even before taking into...

    BYND Beyond Meat out of main

    The problems is that there is no single nation that is vegan, so this data just compares the various meat and fish eaters and their dismal differences in life expectancy. I'l bet any vegan and wealthy nation would be far ahead with life expectancies prob. in the low 100's. Take Paul Brag as an...

    BYND Beyond Meat out of main

    I realize the debate over meat will be with us for decades, here are a few points and how I decided on this subject: 1. Meats and fish if were produced sustainably without the additives and hormones would probably be half as bad for us, but feeding farm salmon with corn is going to produce...

    Tesla Truck

    If cash was not much of an issue buy a used Model X for like $60+K and a trailer. Some folks spend more than $60K on a model 3. There are at least 2 for sale at close to that...

    TSLA market cap is half of Uber

    ...and we all know that Uber is just an app and a loosing business based on the past years, plus they don't really have much of tangible assets. Even if Uber comes up with a a FSD tech buying a million of cars at, say $40k a piece will be $40 billion which is about how much the entire Tesla...

    NC Bill to tax EV's and Hybrids

    We in Colorado have unusually high registration fees that are based on the car value, so $100K Model X will cost more than $1,300 to register for the first year, a little less for subsequent years. On top of that the state charges a $50 EV registration fee. Thankfully, there is the Colorado...

    Model X and S Updated

    I am also one of many who recently bought a MX in August 2018 and even though I realize my MX now has second best tech and just depreciated another $10k--we should not feel that bad and here's why. Whoever is in the position to buy the newest S or X has also paid their dues by either switching...

    POLL: perhaps Tesla should do this to improve efficiency and generate cash, in the short term

    I beg to disagree, and I live in somewhat of a cold climate -- mountains of Colorado. When you preheat an ICE vehicle before driving--massive waste When you go up and down the mountains ICE cars waste fuel and brakes going down the hills You also completely negating the fact that so much fuel...

    POLL: perhaps Tesla should do this to improve efficiency and generate cash, in the short term

    Clearly, Tesla is at the crossroads, once again, given the disappointing Model S and X sales for the last Q. Clearly, Tesla is stretched beyond belief. Clearly, Tesla technically is years ahead of the competition as evidenced by the 204 mile range yet $75K Audi's Etron, and the not so well...

    Anyone wish to time swap with our Teslas in Colorado in the summer?

    Hi, we have a 2015 Model S 85D with Autopilot 1 and 2018 Model X 100D with Enhanced Autopilot and we are in Boulder, CO by Denver, CO. We are traveling through out Europe from July 18 for up to 4 weeks and would be interested in swapping the use of either one of our Tesla with someone in Europe...

    Wrapping, Coating, etc - investment or waste?

    Wrap is even more expensive then most realize if you ever have any accidents or even small dents from parking lots where body work is needed, you'd have to also replace to wrap to match the rest of the car. By Wrapping the car one makes any future body work that much more expensive. I chose not...

    Is this the end?

    I think you're right, although Nissan can apparently also achieve profitability with their 60kwh battery Leaf at around the same price as M3 and legacy sales model--the latter a bit baffles me. I would not question that Tesla M3 is a better car and much more future proof.

    Is this the end?

    Assuming that Tesla will keep the stores next to the service centers open, closing the mall stores will probably be OK in the long run as mall traffic has been declining for years anyway. Also, with FSD being around the corner (probably a year), I guess they will be able to just dispatch a car...

    Is this the end?

    When you go to trade in your Teslas you will def see the difference now as both of your cars just depreciated substantially. On the other hand I can totally justify their MS price reduction - I it is a 7 year old body design for the most part, but I am not so sure why MX is heavily discounted as...

    Is this the end?

    I have been very much puzzled as well, but: 1. Closing of stores is a good move in the end, as long as they don't close all of them. Why fight with the number of states that prohibited the direct sales to consumers at the physical locations, when you can just sweep this entire issue under the...

    Fancy new trim??

    Wow, I can't believe I found your post as I'd like exactly the opposite, but Gunmetal/ grey trim is on my 2018 Model X. I just love the bright aluminum trim, which I have on my 2015 Model S. Do you think the MX trim will fit the MS? I doubt it.

    Why is Rivian so inefficient?

    OK, I agree, most likely aerodynamics and "better battery" tech is what makes Tesla MX more efficient.

    Why is Rivian so inefficient?

    Even before it starts to exist, I am wandering why it already has this one huge flaw and why Amazon is still willing to accept it. If Ford in fact comes out (or more likely Tesla) with a more efficient powertrain for their truck it might just leave Rivian in the dust.

    Why is Rivian so inefficient?

    From the TMC article: "The R1T, will seat five passengers, and pack four electric motors. Three battery packs will be offered – a 180 kWh battery that is expected to offer more than 400 miles of range per charge, a 135 kWh option that gives more than 300 miles of range per charge, and a 105 kWh...

    Software limited batteries baffle me - it defers expansion and M3 at $35K?

    If the cost will be this low then why are they stressed out about hitting the $35K target? It is still unbelievable for me to think that my entire 100kwh pack will cost a mere $10,000 in 2019, when I recently spent $15,0000 for just the 25kwh difference when I chose to buy 100kwh vs 75kwh...

    Software limited batteries baffle me - it defers expansion and M3 at $35K?

    1. Isn't it true that Tesla has a major shortage of cells to begin with, given the delays of PW's and M3 ramp up? 2. Tesla just started selling MS and MX only with 100kW software limited batteries, hoping that current or future owner will upgrade, but what if they don't? Or what if it takes...

    Powerwall settings questions

    I am so excited to finally have installed 2 founder’s addition powerwalls, and have a few peculiar concerns. 1. I am using the time based control settings in the Tesla app to control the power walls. I noticed that the power walls will start charging as soon as the time frame hits the...

    Tesla needs to refresh the Model S, asap.

    I agree that Tesla could have taken the seat flexibility to a whole new level in the X, where all 5, 6, or 7 seats could be removed or added independently, each seat should slide forward/ backward independently in addition to being foldable. I have a 2018 MX 5 seater, anyone knows if the 2...
