    Is $10K too much?

    Isn’t the whole point of Tesla insurance that they are in the unique position of owning both the car and the insurance policy? It would cost them nothing to turn on FSD on a replaced vehicle where as third party insurance couldn’t do it without covering the cost of the software feature again...

    Is $10K too much?

    I just called Tesla Insurance to check if I needed to inform them of my FSD purchase and they said “nope, in the event that there is an accident and I need to replace the vehicle, that would be handled at the time of the claim” kind of vague, but given that everything is through Tesla it would...

    When will EAP w/ HW2.5 stop getting better

    I was in a similar position, 2018, EAP on HW 2.5, and I finally decided to purchase HW 3.0 because after reading though various opinions on here and Reddit, there seemed to be a large number of people who thought that Tesla would consider EAP/ Existing Smart Summon “feature complete” and not...

    Upgrade to FSD before increase?

    Was this during the last sale or something? Or more recently? I’m in a similar spot where I have EAP, and I want HW 3.0 so that I get all the updates, but I’m looking at another $5k which seems a tad unfair.

    Tesla Insurance + loss payee?

    I am financing mine, I was able to call an agent and have them add my financing organization as the loss payee. The agent was also able to send the updated documents to whoever I needed it go to.

    Gas paddle [Correction: accelerator pedal]

    Well technically speaking, acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity. Acceleration doesn’t have to be positive; slowing down is just negative acceleration.

    Latest Summons (across a busier lot) Video

    It’s 2019, we don’t force people to shoot landscape anymore. Portrait is the chosen format of social media. The desire to watch a landscape video is outweighed by the inconvenience of turning off orientation lock and rotating my phone.

    I posted a thread about this already, but yes, depending on where I park in the garage at work I get false alarms from loud motorcycles driving by me.

    Sentry Mode False Alarm

    I posted a similar question because I was going on a hike in an area with out cell service, but nobody seemed to know the answer. That said, if you get the notification and open the app, it will stop the alarm, at least I think. I’ve had it go off twice do to motorcycles and both times the alarm...

    If Sentry Mode goes off in the woods...

    ...and no one is around to hear it. I’m going hiking in a state park today and there most likely won’t be any cell coverage. What happens if I enable Sentry Mode, the alarm is triggered but I can’t get the notification? Will my car just blast Bach until I return from my hike? Or is there some...

    Securing from theft and easy download - USB for Sentry Mode/Dash Cam

    I’ve been using the Wireless Connect Stick from San Disk, other than the fact that you have to turn it on manually and then wait for you car to lock/sleep before the USB powers off and you can access the data, it’s been working pretty well. Makes it easy to wipe it from my phone after a long day...

    UPDATE: After reviewing the footage, it appears that a loud motorcycle driving by set it off. I wish we got audio so I could know for sure, but nothing else happened near my car before the alarm triggered.

    Sentry Mode False Alarm

    I guess that’s fair, I’ll check tonight and update with my findings. Although, my car is currently parked under my work in a row of other 3s, so the likeliness that someone was banging on my windows seems fairly low.

    Sentry Mode False Alarm

    Not that I’m aware of, unless opening the app stopped it before I got there. All my windows were still there, but I haven’t had time to review the footage yet.

    Sentry Mode False Alarm

    I just got a notification on my phone that “Sentry mode has triggered the alarm state” but my car was completely fine. This is somewhat concerning because it dilutes the sense of security. Although I suppose false positives are better than false negatives. Has anyone else experienced this?

    20" Performance Staggered Rim? Where can I find it?

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but tracking your car (going around a circuit) is a completely different story than drag racing (down a strip). I think you guys are talking about different things, and thus different setups.

    Model 3 Smart Pre-conditioning?

    You actually only need Siri/Shortcuts. You can use the API directly, take a look at or download these ones to get an idea: Tesla Shortcuts I pretty much just pieced together various things from here to accomplish my goal

    Model 3 Smart Pre-conditioning?

    I’ve rigged up a semi-solution using Siri Shortcuts. I configured one that will wake up the car, grab the current temperature and then set a desired temp based on some threshold values. I have to run the shortcut manually unfortunately, but telling Siri to “Prepare for takeoff” each morning is...

    Intermittent rattling in the rear seat area and front seatbelt tensioners

    Yeah I had that issue, and I took it into the service center and they fixed all my rattles. I recommend you do the same. Just make sure you secure a Tesla loaner before you drop yours off ;)

    Sunnyvale Service Experience

    Is anyone currently loaning a Tesla from Sunnyvale? I just brought my 3 in for a new steering wheel and to fix an AC fan rattle, but I had to take an ICE as loaner. They said they would call me as soon as one became available. Anybody have one that’s going back soon?

    Anyone get autopark to work?
