    Come here baby 2019.40.2.1

    So glad to see they finally are adressing those huge launches when everyone around you is slowing down for the traffic right up ahead... that would terrify my wife, and I’d at times have my heart in my throat for a couple of seconds, or until I jumped on the break. That was a really bad...

    2019.36.2.4 now!

    Shut down with supercharger in sight

    That was my first thought. My next thought is my god was he BEGGING for this to happen. Ive gone to 8% and that was nerve fraying enough. Id sooner stop and flat bed it to a SC.

    Disappointed with Jeda

    Pretty sure thats not permissible... they are required to ship the product before they charge. Almost certain that is an old “mail order” law on the books. Just call them and tell them. Most likely they are drop shipping the product from China to you, and not paying for any inventory —but you...

    Is there a an easy, quality solution for a quick swap of the speakers?

    Something is wrong then. Bring it in for Service. My brother likes my sound better than in his big new Mercedes.

    2019.28.2 (320fba0)

    Chess and gaming controllers for Beach buggy. Something lowering audio level when you open door (though it always seemed to do that for me)

    For AWD owners wanting a P3D-

    Well, they sold me the vaporous FSD “Not-A-Software-Update” (no one ever got the FSD update they paid for). So they do sell them. However, I would agree, Elon believes, you pay ‘cash on the barrel head’ for a fast car. F**k me, but hopefully/maybe if they get desperate at some point they...

    Collision Damage & Tesla Service Center

    Well, no there was no alert when she backed up, or at least that’s what she tells me. I found a “Tesla Authorized” nearby repair shop, and will try and be sure to keep the car while waiting for parts.

    Collision Damage & Tesla Service Center

    My lovely wife took my M3D out for the 3rd time ever, she likes it, so I was happy for both of us... Unfortunately she backed it into a stationary object. It needs a new rear bumper and a rear quarter panel. I don't know if anyone would repair the damage on the quarter panel or if that's a...

    Tesla autopilot HW3

    this opinion presumes you are someone worried about where the updates are. car was amazing on day one, but a lot of drama from folks who feel entitled to more FSD Features because they want them now

    Drop 40k on a Tesla or invest 40k in Tesla stock

    if you have to ask, you better put it in the s&p500 and hold long term

    Tesla autopilot HW3

    IMHO... If you are going to own a Tesla and be happy, you have to reset your time scale to a couple of years at a time, a time scale of a year or even months won't work out so well for you. You'll find a way to be perpetually miserable. It's almost hard not to believe that with the investment...

    For Sale: Gorgeous, Fully Loaded Model X 100D

    I have a friend who is a real car guy, Been in the performance and repair business for many years. I usually mention cars to him before I buy anything, as he also happens to be exceptionally smart too. He was intensely against buying any v1 CAR. Luckily i listened to him for more than a year...

    12.1.2 improved Stereo?

    If you just happened to switch from Tesla/Slacker before the update to playing a premium / paid streaming service like Pandora One or Apple Music via phone after update, it can sound noticeably better —I think due to higher quality / bigger data rate. Not sure if this happened, but that could...

    Model 3 software super-thread

    2019.12.1.1 4b1dd29 came down today, one day after 12.1 -- didnt use long enough to know, but in the very short time i used the browser, it froze when using gmail, and that has stopped. This could just be from the reboot, don't know. also while i guess its obvious to most/all here now --on...

    @MountainPass, Great having MPP on here to connect with... and great to hear positive experiences from TMC'ers! Thanks very much guys. Sounds like MPP Comfort Coilovers are what I'm looking for... I'm on Tesla 20" factory performance wheels. (on M3D AWD) in summer with factory Michelin 4S, and...

    FSD Upgrade

    It’s definitely true. I have in as an EAP $3k upgrade on my account for M3D. I am guessing from all I read that it has something to do with either what you paid (thats all over the place for last several months) and/or if you have HW2.5 Big question is, if you spend $3k on FSD upgrade (still...

    FSD for 3k after purchase

    FSD is available in my account online now for an M3D with EAP for $3k —its seems only folks with “EAP” not the new term “AP” Surely confusing, but they are trying to put together a profit generating software upgrade path. Sell me “Track Mode” as an over the air update and Im in... its at...

    A cautionary autopilot video

    Please send this to Tesla... they need to see it... I'm sure the response is (of course) that your supposed to disengage and your not supposed to use on secondary roads... but that is a close enough call that you should give them the benefit of seeing it. If I were an engineer there, or an exec...

    Model 3 Motors on the Tesla Parts Catalog

    Ditto, f**ed up not getting the Performance trim, same config. Its still great, but I missed the best one... oh well. Maybe they sell a 100% margin for Tesla over the air upgrade to a M3P from an M3D...? We hope...

    Taptes new wireless charging pad

    i respect ones appetite for buying american... howeve virtually all american brands in the category are just marketers, selling chinese made components, assembled in china. if i could get a comprable product, made in america, at even a modest upcharge id do it, but all the components are built...

    Cold. Cold. Cold. Strange / Interesting screen reading.

    Hey... in extreme cold, is it a good idea to just leave your M3 plugged in if your not using it? Really would like to know what M3 owners are actually doing when it comes to extreme cold and leaving car plugged in for a few to several days at a time. I had a Ceramic Pro coating job done on my...

    Model 3 Motors on the Tesla Parts Catalog

    Wonder if Tesla will simply sell the upgrade at some point from M3D to Performance? Maybe when they need more high margin sales after they start selling the short range vehicle? Im getting buyers remorse nit getting same configuration in Performnace trim!

    M3 issue in the Colorado Mountains

    I totally hear the owner of “Red Brakes” it is frustrating to believe a story and experience something else. Its frustrating to spend a significant amount of money and have any kind of underperformance —much less on a saftey related issue. That said I used to live out by you, and WOW winters...
