Does the 2022 model Y have the matrix headlights?

I generally agree, but there are some older people (60+) with poorer eyesight and darker tints make it really very difficult to see at night. They will be fine with 70 or 80 to reduce heat, UV and glare.

There hasn't been a single reported case of FSD ever being refunded, for any reason. Tesla likes money.

Yes, I did it successfully without impacting the base price.

Wait really? How does that make sense?

Does anyone know if I can transfer my 19" Model 3 wheels to my Model Y and VICE VERSA?

Hear me out... I'm not one of the idiots trying to game the system. I genuinely can't afford to pay the extra $10,000 (locked in this price in January) for FSD and need to remove it before finalizing my delivery, but given the recent price increases, I don't want to risk doing it and having the...

That was the long route, but yeah that is my point.

You're completely missing the point. I'm not saying it's AP's fault. I'm saying that if people disengage AP every time they are in precarious situations, then that majorly taints the data, because you have way fewer accidents being recorded as due to AP. So when Elon/Tesla compares AP data to...

Wrong. If you come onto a stretch of super icy road, or it starts raining cats and dogs, most drivers will disengage AP, and the accident could very well happen after 5 seconds.

Thank you!!! ****ing finally, someone who gets it.

Another problem is so many Tesla owners are also investors. Massive bias.

That is correct. As I stated, and the video stated, Tesla drivers tend to be older and wealthier. Therefore even WITHOUT the existence of AP, Tesla owners are going to be on average experiencing fewer collisions than non-Tesla drivers.

Hahaha this is rich. The guy who says "in MY town, everyone who drives teslas are all different ages" is asking for NHTSA data from others. Double-standard much?

How am I supposed to present better data if Tesla has all of it, retard? My entire point is that Tesla needs to be more transparent and contextualize the data. If they made their data sets public, we could all review it and see for ourselves, rather than take them at their word/interpretation...

Yeah, I mean, we're not talking about a little tiny tainting of the data here. The bias is massive. The claims about AP safety are fundamentally unsound when compared to any other data set.

Per their disclosure, it's 5 seconds. If an accident happens 5 seconds after AP disengages, it's not counted. So if you suddenly come onto a stretch of highway that is iced over, and disengage AP, you're still at a massively higher risk of a collision because the ice doesn't just dissapear after...

I'm honestly extremely dissapointed at how few of my fellow Tesla drivers seem to understand the basics on stats and data integrity. If you really believe the "AP is 10X safer" figure, PM me because I have a bridge to sell you!

Did you miss the part about how Tesla drivers are on average older, and therefore, generally safer drivers? Again, until Tesla provides full data transparency, no real conclusions can be made.

I guess it's just not clicking for you, so let me simplify it: Tesla is cherrypicking data. Full stop. If an accident is about to happen almost every driver will immediately take control of the vehicle, thus EXCLUDING that collision from Tesla's count. Likewise, if Autopilot refuses to engage in...

I don't think this is necessary. I'm going on 2.5 years and 62,000 miles on my model 3 and still haven't had to replace the 12v. However I'm bracing my anus for it anyway now.... may end up just replacing it at 70,000 just in case.

I wish Tesla was more committed to customer care AFTER you have already given them your money. I have a Model 3 at 62,000 miles however, so I guess I need to start thinking about this. Can someone confirm that a 51R agm battery will fit the Model 3?

Thanks, but based on that price I might as well go with that Craigslist post that's selling 4 OEM tires and rims for $600.

Does anyone know where I can an extra 18" tire to use as a spare in my Model 3? I've been finding plenty of people selling slightly used tire/rim combos on Craigslist in the Bay Area but most are selling 4 at a time. This one is a really good deal but I texted the guy and he only wants to...

Nope. No end in sight. My car is at a Tesla-approved body shop 30 miles from Fremont, too. Nothing is being done.

What has made me really angry is that Tesla and its suppliers are creating thousands of the parts each week that I need to make my car drivable again - but they would rather put those into new cars. Tesla already has my money.

Still waiting for parts believe of it or not. Tesla has to get its *sugar* together!

Plasti dip? no it doesn't. Just look up some tutorials on youtube - it's very commonly used for badges.

just use plasti dip

No ODB port, strangely enough. It's pretty much the only modern car without one since Tesla can do diagnostics over the air, it isn't really necessary...

Yeah but let's be honest, that black and white footage on the native TM3 cameras is going to suck, not to mention there is no reason to believe they will run in parking mode. I have a 4k Blackvue that I want running in parking mode.

The most common issue with attempts at hardwiring is that too much power is drawn from the 12V battery, leading to the car alerting you that something is wrong and to take it into a Service Center. Has anyone figured out a way to hardwire successfully? There is also no fuse box or access port...

Can we please get an update?

I posted this to Reddit as well - it’s kind of crazy what happened, and pretty much my worst fear come true. SFPD told me that a truck was stolen down the street from where I was staying overnight - and the truck had one of those anti-theft bars on the steering wheel. The idiot tried to drive it...

My order number is #2196 - should I have received it by now?

So I geeked out and bought a UV meter, and actually the OEM front windshield only blocks out about 90% of the UV. I spend enough time in the car that getting a layer of ceramic and taking the UV filter up to 99.9% is worth it for me. Also for those wondering, the OEM "sun roof" on the model 3...

Air 80 is a completely clear tint. It only helps with heat rejection and UV protection.

I got mine done up in Santa Rosa at A Shade Darker - they were excellent. Not a single imperfection found, and I'm usually really too obsessive over little details. OCDetailing is good too, and that's in Fremont.

I just got mine tinted with Llumar Air 80 - nano ceramic. I see the slightest amount of rainbow with polarized glasses, but not much.

This looks very nice. The blue hue on the film goes very well with the blue car. My car is pearl white, though, and a blue hue wouldn't look nearly as good as charcoal or black.

Has anyone done 70%?

I'm about to tint my front windshield (with the right precautions to protect against water damage). The said they can do Llumar Stratos 50% which has a somewhat grey/charcoal color, which would match the side tint and contrast well against the pearl white. The other option is Llumar Stratos...

OK when I ordered, you had posted saying delivered would go out in September, and there are no backorders, so if there are cancellations I would assume they will 100% come in September.

Hi! I ordered on August 11th. Any idea when I will receive mine?

I thought they were ready for shipping now - what's this being discussed about September?

This is not even worth $1,500 in my opinion. He definitely messed up the paint selection. the tint needs a week with some occasional time in direct sunlight, if there are still issues then I would complain.

Well, my brother has a velcro company so I just velcro everything down.

In the midst of my binge-buying aftermarket Tesla products, I thought long and hard about this one and realized trunk organizers are 100% unnecessary.

I have little bits of paint chipped on the bumper, and am worried that even the Tesla-certified body shops won't be able to match the paint correctly. My concern comes out of a conversation with a rep at one of the shops who said "Tesla doesn't use their own paints - they buy from others - the...
