solid advice. thanks!

Yep. I have had Corollas try it, trucks of course - a guy that had a sticker about what p*ssys everyone w/ an automatic was and pulled up next to me. I did smoke him every time to 45 and it was pissing him off as we had like 15 lights before the highway. I was almost crying w/ laughter ever time...

I made that mistake when we recently went to see a show at Red Rocks in Colorado. It was agony. I am just going to bite the bullet and use Turo and get a 3 next vacation.

I came on here to find out about tires as mine need replacing and we just got over 2 feet of snow dumped on us and I noticed that you are on your 2nd 3. Why if you don't mind me asking? Also what did you end up doing w/ tires? I am seeing the same mileage/wear here. I have had my car for a year...

I actually love the snow...all except the shoveling. Even that i don't mind except when it is over the top of my knee-high boots...

equally great idea! It would have taken less tries to get out but wouldn't have been quite so cool and rewarding. :)

It is Supposed to be showing me backing my car up out of the snow. After multiple false starts my husband (the cameraman) loses concentration when he heard the snowplow coming again - he had plowed us in 3 times prior. As my husband turns back the car finally comes loose which is me yelling w/...

We got over 2 feet of snow and I do not have a garage (yet). We had parked in the driveway bumper to bumper w/ my neighbors and my husband's truck. After several hours of shoveling I decided to try to pull my car out to avoid having to shovel from the sides. It kept failing after an inch so we...

So what price did he quote you? I live on the east coast but had asked for some prices on Reddit from others that had gotten wrapped. I got quotes for all around the same price as what they said out there. I went w/ the $2800 for the wrap and $500 for the chrome delete. I think I actually paid a...

I was wondering the same. I have noticed twice now issues at a stall in Utica NY. We plugged in and went across the street for a slice and I looked at the phone and it was going from 0 to 78 (nowhere near the 588 that I got last time). In 20 minutes it had only charged 15 miles so I went and...

This was a super useful post. One that made me keep reading all of the comments of which many were also helpful. I hope I never get in this kind of situation but now I am armed properly. Also so glad you are all ok. Sad that you got your toy taken away so quickly. I hope they make the repairs...

Something I would add (sorry if anyone else did) is to make sure you clean the snow off BEFORE you turn the heat on. If the car is outside and not in a garage and it is cold out the snow will melt and can refreeze in all of the cracks of the doors and charge port. I found this out the hard way...

Understood. If you feel like a drive I can vouch for my guy in NY :).

I paid $500 and that was price, they usually start at $650 but it was a last minute idea while I was getting my car wrapped so they gave me a deal. And I love it. My car is so lovely now!

No as it is my car but I do leave both dog and husband in where they are happier than accompanying me to the store. Lily loves being in the car and stands on the center console wagging her tail the entire time. I do like the idea of posting a note if husband isn't there tho!

This happened to me after the latest updates. I tried rebooting to no avail. I called Tesla support and they said that I was the first one to call in about it but that Slacker had just released something saying that it was on their end and that the fix should be pushed out soon. So please...

Have you heard of PlugShare? In an emergency you could look for someone nearby and get a small charge that could help get to the next supercharger. I just found out about it on here and wish we had known about it sooner, I was pretty stressed being in Provincetown w/ no supercharger nearby. I...

There are still no superchargers on the cape. The Orleans station is under construction however and there are several destination chargers available. We charged at the ChargePoint chargers at the pier in P-Town while both on a whale watch and during dinner and were able to get more than enough...

A jeep spontaneously burst into flames in front of my house a ways back. That was a terrifying way to wake up. I use autodrive on trips all of the time and my car has helped me avoid a number of sticky situations based on other drivers. I always remain vigilant but it is a relief having the car...

Ugh. Yes. I meant Not. I need to proof read before posting and not using glasses. Also She.

I just talked to Rob from Tesla at Cosimos. He was doing work on the transformer there and he said he turned it on today. It was the power company's fault, but the mall or Tesla. I hugged him.

Yeah. I wish I could edit the title. I don't like it when people don't start w/ 'everyone is fine'

Initially I think I tapped the brake. I don't like 'wresting' control from the car. It makes my husband jumpy and just feels wrong.

That is awesome (and twisted). I am going to have to try it. After I do it by myself. How evil is it of me to be really excited to do this to my husband to see if I can make him scream?

Good suggestion. It would have been great to know this (and be comfortable) when I had to do my last reboot due to loosing my ability to sense nearby vehicles, the road and all auto-driving capabilities and voice commands. ~ this was from using sentry mode/having the usb stick in all of the time.

What???? You can reboot while driving? (-)(-) (big eyes, not boobs). That makes me feel odd. Have you done it?

So you experienced no adverse affects, just needed to reboot. That is comforting.

Has anyone seen this happen? I was on the highway and was nearing my home exit so took the car off autodrive and was keeping my speed at 74 (speed limit is 65) and was kindof impressed that I had kept it that way w/out the cars help for the last few miles, not really thinking too much of it and...

Stopped by today and still no juice. There were however landscapers that were being rude. I had pulled in after another model 3 and seeing him plug in thought they were up. We both confirmed they were not, chatted a bit about others near and got back in our cars. I stopped next to the...

That makes me pretty unhappy. If I had a notification to go rotate them at 5 then I would be getting months more wear out of them. I wish we could set reminders for our cars ourselves. I would just have Janet tell me to go do it (at Costco or something, not Tesla) every 5. At least now I know...

Nope. That is what it cost me today as well. Sadly I didn't know that you were supposed to get them rotated every 5k. I have almost 10k and feel really stupid because the wear was pretty uneven and I could have gotten a lot more life out of my tires. They told me that I am going to need all new...

That is pretty funny (and expected, it is 'Murica after all...). I am glad that the cats are getting support through the insanity that is organized sports mania!

My sunshields just got here and it has been raining in the northeast for a zillion years so i will do a baseline when it (finally) gets sunny and then post both findings. And no cracked windows for me...see previous spiders comment.

That would have been nice. As it was the regenerative breaking saved me from a potential jail visit. I was late for interviewing a potential intern and had decided to swoop quickly around the tractor-trailer that was at my exit and as you know, hitting the accelerator even for a brief moment...

btw - that *sugar* was originally a swearword starting w/ S...

I love the little roof! I wish I had seen this before we paid for the holster that looks a bit incongruous on the side of my house. My brother has a 3d printer and he would happily have made this for me!

Every time I pass one in my area we have both reacted w/ a smile or a motion or flicking lights to say hi and drive away w/ big grins knowing that the other person is just as happy w/ their car.

Good point. I don't use it very often - only on long trips. Normally I want as much charge as I can get so I would never encounter this. It was silly, I looked at the charge and thought 'oh, that is more than enough to get home w/, I will stop the charge now as no one is waiting for it and I...

~ about the car that is, my favorite thing of course is 'I love you mom'. 'Daayum girl. You got a fly car!' 'Oh *sugar*! Is that a Tesla?' 'Thank you for the ride in your fancy red electric whip!' 'Oh my, I don't think we would need to go that fast '(I was letting my friend's 82 year old dad...

My brother and family live on a hill and their driveway is very steep so if i go in at the left angle i hit the bottom of the battery. I have to turn in the neighbor's driveway and go in on a gentle right turn. The driveway I turn around in has a S that can get in his driveway by raising the...

That was smart 3d printing the holster! We just bought the Tesla one but I like your idea much more!

Yeah, that sounds right, I was just remembering something that my husband read to me while I was driving and being irritated that their ratio was wrong. I wanted to write to them and suggest they give my 1 time waive back to me as I was unaware (I know, ignorance of the law doesn't excuse...

You get free charging if you have an S or if you use the special code they give you in your loot box and someone buys a tesla with that code. You both currently get 5k free charging for 6 months. We had an electrician install a 240 am dryer outlet near the driveway and we got that adapter and we...

I think it depends on what they say. The one posted on Reddit the other day got a lot of mixed reviews. UBUYGAS. This tesla keeps flexing on me and it’s hurting my feelings : funny

Now I want to move to Nebraska so I can have a mountain lion preservation license plate! Do you donate to them to get it?

I haven't had to do any since the support person told me about the option so that is good but I also was interested in learning how it works...not that I am hoping for an issue of course.

I have not read the whole thread so I apologize if this was already stated - beware of just 'sitting' at a supercharger. I didn't know that there was such a thing as an 'idle fee'. We were charging and went to a diner nearby and I looked as we were paying and saw that we had more than enough to...

You should have hit the mic button and reported the bug! of course then you would have had to go to your car at 1 am...

When my shades arrive I will do a test as well and post the before and after. I do not have a groovy heat laser temperature gun though so will only be able to state the interior and exterior of the car. Thanks for the test results sagebrush!

This is what I was thinking too but you are the first one to say it. I didn't go to the car for a little while as I was getting ready to take my bird on a play date and had to get ready but I did turn the temp to 68 which it was when I got in the car like 10 min later so I can't say. I really...
