    "Charging equipment not ready"

    Hello all. I’m actually having the same error in our Model Y. We’ve had it a few months with no issues and now it won’t charge. It’s saying “Charging equipment not ready”. We tried another plug we have for our Kia Niro EV and same error. I’m about to take it to a supercharger to see if that...

    Is FSD really worth the money?

    This is as real a post as it gets. I feel the exact same way about my car when using AP, it's good to see someone else say it too even though before I even read the comments I’m sure the OP is getting roasted for speaking the truth. Is AP convenient sometimes? Absolutely. Is it worth the added...

    Upgrade costs for SR to SR+/autopilot?

    And that’s when i’ll get my FSD on sale! (Fingers crossed)

    Water damage in the trunk?

    Mine looks like this too. Will have to call the SC to see what they say about this. Picked up 4/20 Notice that it’s almost the same pattern as yours too

    Gulp... I guess this is really happening

    You hit the nail on the head when you said this car is an experience. It's not just "a car" which is hard to explain to anyone that hasn't had the pleasure of driving one. But we all understand

    Should Tesla advertise a bit?

    Absolutely they need to advertise. I’ve been saying this for a while now and they have to do something. Most “regular” people still not know what a Tesla is, think BEVs have a range of around 100 miles and take 3 days to charge. They need educational ads but they also have to keep peoples...

    FSD must go to Tesla service center to activate? No other way?

    What software version are you on? I am on 2019.7.105 on a car I picked up just 9 days ago. It was on some other version # when I picked it up and my AP would not calibrate so I could not use it. They pushed an update to my car and it took a matter of a few minutes driving to calibrate and be...

    Unable to Wake Up Car from App

    Having this issue right now. The car in in Atlanta and I’m in Puerto Rico. But I’ve been checking on it every day and was even able to this morning. Now, since the 5,000 mile supercharger referral thing came up, I can’t wake the car up and when I log into my account online I can't see the...

    To white interior owners...

    I just got mine with a white interior and I worry more about other people getting in with jeans than myself. I usually wear lite color jeans, Khakis, joggers and dress pants (for work). But I can’t help but watch what everyone else is wearing before I offer rides. Feels weird to be “that guy”...

    How much did you wrap? The whole car?

    EXPERIENCE: 2400 miles trip Model 3 SR Plus

    It is kinda annoying to not have cross traffic alert. My “other” car (that lease is up in December) is a 2017 STI and all I ever do is put it in reverse and slowly go, it is VERY good at alerting me of cars and people coming well before I could ever see them. I miss that. Also yes, the rear...

    Could we have Remote window control

    Not in the US. I only know this because we had Toyota models that had this feature available in the Canadian versions but it was disabled in the US versions.

    On buying a returned Model 3

    A vehicle is considered “new” as long as it hasn’t been titled and registered. Regardless of the miles. At the dealership I worked at for over 10 years (been in the automotive business for over 15 years now but no longer on the retail side) managers and the family that owned the dealership kept...

    Am I missing something or is Tesla really this discombobulated right now?

    Just took a look at some available inventory around me (just something I do for the heck of it) and the site shows what seems to be 2 identical cars with very different prices. One in Alpharetta, GA where I bought my car and one in Charlotte,NC. Both are Standard Range+ cars, white with 18’s...

    Tesla Model 3 should have a version that came this way

    I used to think the same but it is the easiest way to tell them apart so 3 will probably keep chrome and y chrome delete.

    No rear autobrake? (TFL Long-term Model 3 crash)

    I watched the video and was wondering the same thing. He had to have shut it off, there’s no way it didn’t go off while backing into a wall. I noticed that little icon the 1st day i got my car. The roller test part of the video was pretty awesome though. They do good work, but this accident...

    New car 35 miles Autopilot still can't turn on

    Same happened to me when i picked up last week. That and my GPS stopped working and the map screen was glitching like crazy. They sent me a firmware update that took care of all of it. Had driven over 100 miles on pickup day and it wasn’t calibrating, after the update it only took a few miles...

    How do I tell if I have 1000 mile free Supercharging?

    Yup. Shows it on the app. I used it once last Saturday (same day I picked it up) and the app still says 1,000. I’m guessing they throw in the supercharging on delivery day since they figured you’d drive a ton and want to charge quickly to keep on driving!

    Standard AutoPilot needs to switch lanes

    I did. The fact that even the most basic AP ever offered included that feature. Standard with the car doesn’t not equal free, ,just means I paid for my AP feature in the total price of the vehicle. The other point is the fact that it is unsafe. Someone will forget to turn auto steer back on...

    Would you Robotaxi your car?

    I barely want people I know as passengers in the car as it is . There is very little chance that I would do that, especially with the white seats. I would if I bought a base car just for that purpose

    Not seeing Sentry Mode

    Same issue with my LR RWD 3. I picked it up this passed Saturday with 3 miles on it. When I left the GPS stopped tracking and the map was glitching out like crazy. AP also wouldn’t calibrate. Service sent a firmware update to the car and all seems to be ok. No Sentry mode still and nobody ever...

    Standard AutoPilot needs to switch lanes

    Make it a la carte. I’d pay $500 for the lane switching on turn signal. Why does it have to be one or the other? Such an easy way for them to make more $$$. Make a few of these items individual selections you can make right on the cars screen.

    Standard AutoPilot needs to switch lanes

    My thing is that when I put on the turn signal it turns off auto steer but keeps the cruise control on. It can get confusing and one might think auto steer is on after switching lanes and have an accident. It is now less safe than it used to be and that’s not ok.

    Postponing delivery

    When I called to see if they had the car I wanted available (LR RWD) they said they had one in transit. I placed a deposit on the car to hold it. I had to go on a business trip for 2 week shortly after so I asked how long they would hold it. I was told only for 7 says after it arrived at the...

    Standard AutoPilot needs to switch lanes

    I picked up my Model 3 this passed Saturday and it came with the standard AP. Unfortunately it is missing one feature that should not be a part of FSD and that is the ability to switch lanes when I put on my turn signal. I understand if I want it to suggest lane changes or do them by itself I...

    How many times have there been sales on AP/FSD?

    I just check my account every day. It says $7k right now which is never going to happen. $3k and I’m in right away without blinking an eye.

    Postponing delivery

    I was told I had 7 days from when the car arrives to take delivery or the car would be released for sale and I could order again.

    Added second Model 3 to family, 3SR stupid cheap.

    My only thing with the SR is that all I want to do is drive this thing and the SR would limit that. 90% of 220 is “only” 198. I drove 200 on day 1 with the thing just because. I know I wont do that forever but you definitely find any excuse to drive these things and 198 doesn’t do it for me. Now...

    Sales Tax on FSB

    only thing you don’t pay tax on when buying a Tesla are the government fees. Reg and such,. Even the Doc fee is taxed. Same at any dealership.

    Car Window sticker price different than what I paid

    That’s not how that works. Traditional dealerships get new window stickers all the time with price increases and simply replace the ones currently on the cars. If the cars are the same year and everything is equal the MSRP is always the same regardless of production date. There is no reason for...

    Why ditch the Model 3 with the longest range?

    Ordered a LR RWD this past Friday over the phone and it does come with AP bundled. It is Red with white interior and 19’s for $49,000. AWD version of the same spec is $54,000 right now

    Tesla loan comparison spreadsheet - auto updates hourly

    Turns out you don’t, they can complete everything digitally. But you do have to get a $5 deposit into your account to have it in good standing and if there isn’t a branch near you it can take a few days to get the money to them from another bank. LightStream wouldn’t match because they require a...

    Cost of FSD to start increasing after May 1st

    Picking up my car Saturday... I still believe FSD should be 3k so i won’t pay the current price or the upcoming increased price. Want some extra $$$ Tesla? Make it 3k for a day and watch people freak out and buy it like crazy

    Tesla loan comparison spreadsheet - auto updates hourly

    Anyone here go thru Delta Community Credit Union? I applied and got approved but the page just says to contact them to complete my loan processing. Will I have to go to a branch or can it all be done online and via email/phone? I travel for work and I’m never around during the week, they are...

    LR RWD Waiting Room

    Called my local gallery today asking about a LR RWD Red with white interior and the 19’s. Before the price change that car was $52,500 on the site. I was told there is a matching car on its way to that gallery and that it would be $50,000 even. I was sent a link to see the details of the car and...

    Question. If the person has proven to be unreliable in the past, why trust him with your taxes again?

    Where to see a real live Model 3 in Massachusetts

    Just left the Natick store. My brother was looking into solar and power wall for his house and we met Henry. Def the coolest person I've met at a Tesla store so far. Henry owns a Model 3 and actually took us forba test ride in it. I was already ordering mine, but adtaf that drive my brother is...

    I Want an X....

    Been in the car business for over 14 years. A truck you just bought is going to hurt to trade or sell so quickly (a lot). To those that say 2 months or two years makes no difference...it does. At least you got house out of it over 2 years. It will depreciate the most over the first 2 to 3 tears...
