If FSD doesn't react instantly when it's my turn at a 4 way, I just goose the accelerator a little and take my turn. Once you get it rolling through the stop sign it picks right up and drives. I actually prefer that it errs on the slow side since it is so easy for the driver to override. Seems...

Just went for my first drive on 10.3.1. Took some backroads to a church parking lot (it actually drove me into the lot and stopped right in front of the entrance) and then back home on some more major roads. Didn't have any show stopping issues. A little janky on some of the turns. Like pulling...

Sounds like me. Stuck on 99 after racking up 649 miles to bring it up from a 96 because of one bad day. I'm afraid to pull out of the garage until I get FSD out of fear of dropping to a 98 and having to wait probably at least 2 more weeks. Been driving my wife's minivan everywhere in the meantime.

While that may be the case, I did 44 miles and 42 of them were on interstate with AP engaged. In order for me to hit 9.6% aggressive cornering, I would have had to have been pulling >0.4 G's for 4 miles of that drive! The total distance of getting on and off the highway couldn't have been more...

I've been driving exclusively on AP on the highway and I've been docked for aggressive turning on 2 of my five trips. Was at 100% yesterday but now I'm down to 96% because of alleged 9.6% aggressive turning. Makes no sense. I'm driving on the interstate with AP on at 5 over the speed limit. No...

Most of that 'Tesla Killer' crap comes from all the Tesla short sellers who keep trying to convince everyone that Tesla is doomed so the stock will tank and they can make back all of the money they've already lost. Good luck with that!

I just got the latest update 2020.16.2.1. Took it out for a test run on all of the same roads where I had issues with stop signs. This time it was MUCH better. Also it seemed like Autopilot was better in general. One data point of course but places where it used to stutter and stop way too short...

I have started noticing phantom braking back for mine since the last update I received (2020.12.11.1) In addition the braking for stop signs is now having issues. Stopping WAY too early. Like as much as 2 car lengths. It is also kind of stabbing the brakes as it stops instead of stopping...

I've had a different kind of stop sign problem. For me, there are certain stop signs in my neighborhood where the car stops WAY too early. Like 1 1/2 car lengths before the line. It must be using map data because it is always the same ones. Also, it has a tendency to get all herky jerky...

Just got my refund. So about 3 1/2 weeks for me from time of acceptance.

I have never had this problem and I use TACC 20 miles each way on my daily commute. All hiway. Is it possibly related to following distance? I generally have mine set to 3-5 and only drop it down to 1-2 when traffic is very stopping / crawling.

I had an issue with my M3's cellular connection and after doing a remote diagnostic, Tesla told me I had to bring it in because the computer needed to be replaced. This was Dec 2019. They kept the car for 2 days and when they were done I had HW version 3.0. So I guess I got lucky. FYI, I did not...

I used TaxAct. Was just getting ready to switch to H&R Block when they finally got their act together and started supporting the form. My efile was accepted on Feb 13. However, When I go to check the status it says they are still processing it. I have heard that filing for the EV rebate delays...

Looks like a Delorean and a Lamborghini had a baby.

The place I notice this most is when I'm backing out of my driveway. It used to take just a little push to get it moving and then it would coast all the way out to the street. Now I need to keep applying a little accelerator to keep it moving. Not necessarily a bad thing but just a different...

I like the fact that Ford is getting into the game. When you really look at it though, it's a bit pricey. I went to their website and priced out a premium, long range, AWD and here's what I came up with: Range: 270 miles 0-60: Mid 5 seconds Price: $58,300 So even after the full tax refund...

Strange, I'm on same release as you and definitely am seeing cone recognition. Drive through a construction zone everyday on my way home and they show up.

Years ago I was driving a go-cart at the state fair. Never went fast enough to need to brake. At the end when I was parking the cart I reached for the brake with my right foot only to find to my horror there was a barrier between the left and right footwells and you can't right foot brake. I had...

I have the same experience with my Model 3. 42 EXCEPT when I go on long drives on the interstate where speeds are often in the > 75 mph range. Then I do experience some noticeable range loss. But that is to be expected with the extra drag. Its hard to get used to because ICE cars were always...

I would say that the intensity of arguments on both sides of this issue shows that this is very difficult to answer.

The biggest issue for me would be that I never have much cash on hand. I'm pretty much a plastic only consumer. And since mobile service is often going to be unscheduled, I'm unlikely to just happen to have a 20 spot on me when they show up.

That's a tough call for me. I tipped the guy who installed my garage door and opener. I tipped the guy that installed the outlet for my charger. But I've never tipped a mechanic at a dealership. Never even occurred to me. I think I would for this though. Somehow in my mind it's different when...

Wow. I guess the initial pricing was a bit off. The real price is: 'Turbo' - $150,000 'Turbo S' - $185,000 All optioned out 'Turbo S' is $241,000!!! Porsche Taycan Starts At $150,900, Most Expensive Is $241,150 And we're comparing it with a $58K M3P?

Porsche has always been about track ready performance cars that can double as a daily driver. So this test doesn't surprise me. It shows potential owners that they COULD take it to the track and beat on it all day (even though probably 5% of them ever actually do). But again, this is a $130,000...

Personally, I cross shopped an Audi S4 and a BMW M340i. I personally feel like those are kind of the 'obvious' competitors for the Model 3 AWD.

Interesting analysis. I guess if I was buying a car to do hot weather endurance racing I'd lean towards the Porsche. Why are they even comparing these cars. The Taycan base costs $90k and the 'Turbo' (which is the one I assume they used in the test) is $130,000 these are priced higher than a...

Is it even possible to leave the car unlocked? I mean eventually it goes into sleep mode right? And then you're going to need your phone / card to wake it up? I don't know, I'm just asking.

For me, in Minnesota, AWD is a no brainer. For you in Texas, not sure it makes that much difference. So assuming I lived in Texas I would probably say: 1) AWD $2k 2) 10k less miles - So the battery warranty is 120k on a $50k vehicle (AWD). That works out to a little over $4k for 10k miles. 3)...

My sister lives in Des Moines and is really interested in a Model 3. However, there are no Stores or Service Centers close to her. If you are an owner anywhere in Central Iowa: 1) How did you get your Tesla delivered? 2) Is mobile service available in your area? 3) If you've ever been in an...

Yes. 100%. Went on my first 'long' trip last weekend to show my family. First time I've ever been able to drive it on open country roads. Amazing experience. My brother, sister and parents all want one. At a supercharger station, I saw a woman taking pictures of it as I walked back from...

I had to call in to get it added, FYI.

One thing I figured out is that for whatever reason Progressive gives a discount for accident avoidance technology while for whatever reason Allstate does not appear to. I had a Jeep Wrangler with Allstate. While I loved the Jeep, it's not exactly a safe or high tech car. It gets mediocre...

Yes. Thanks for the info. Since I got the text from my local store I was trying to figure out whether this was from them specifically or Tesla in general.

Sorry, my bad. Actually $304: Vehicles and Coverages Policy Fees 2019 Tesla Model 3 VIN 5YJ3E1EB1KFXXXXXX Primary location MN, XXXXX Primary use Commute Ridesharing No Lienholder XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Coverage and Types Amount Comprehensive $1,000 deductible with $0 Glass deductible...

The offer was from Tesla so I assume it was a Tesla wall connector. Via Text. The reason I was asking if anyone else got it is that I was well, curios. And this is a site for Tesla owners so... that's why. Sorry if I caused you any anxiety.

Wow! That sounds so much like me. I was with Allstate and was quoted > $1000 for 6 months. Switched to Progressive and now paying $305 for 6 months. Similar coverage. Minneapolis Slightly older than 45 (we'll leave it at that) No accidents or tickets for at least 10 years. Daily commute 21...

Just got a text offering me a free wall charger if I order solar today. Unfortunately, I'm in a horrible location for Solar. Minnesota plus a 60 foot cottonwood directly south of my house completely blocking out the sun. Anyone else get this offer?

Add me to the list of HW3 drivers who uses AP 90% of the time. My commute is 21 miles each way, all hiway and I just get in my lane, turn it on and watch for someone coming up behind me fast so I can get out of their way. No invite for me.

I think people just mean shift more resources to practical features and fewer to 'fun' features. Like any software company they have a budget and development priorities and every $1 allocated to one area is $1 less to another. So in that way it does make sense to say more features / less games.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one here who doesn't have problems with TACC. I commute 20 miles to and from work every day in pretty heavy traffic. Up and down from dead stop to 65 (I never go more than 5 over speed limit) I get in my lane, turn TACC on and pretty much let the car drive me...

What about a warning that a car is rapidly approaching from the rear? This could be a heads up to move over and let them pass.

That is strange, mine does not do that. Although to be fair, I don't tend to listen to my phone, I stream or listen to USB. But those both stay off when I turn them off. Maybe it's just a phone thing?

How about being able to view ANY camera in real time. We have camera's on the side of the car, why can't we use them when we lane change? As long as I'm on that, why don't we have that cool overhead parking view that you get on BMW, Mercedes, Volvo, etc? Seems like we have enough cameras to...

Well as far as using your phone for video, the screen casting would be the tough part. You can already get the audio from your phone to the screen but I think you need a special app to do the screen part. I mean, yeah, I can watch YouTube on my phone and I will very rarely take long trips and...

I get that too. Seems better with latest update but still annoying. Good thing I don't drive in the right lane much. Hate dealing with all the merging traffic.

YouTube and Netflix would be really nice to get by August 17th when I'll be sitting at a SuperCharger in Dows, IA for 30 minutes. Not a lot to do in Dows. No offense.

I agree. In my case it is dead center. I kind of wish there was a setting for this. Hug left, hug right or centered. But I've had very few problems with it being centered and if a car to the right of me get's closer than I'm comfortable with I simply steer a little to the left and disengage till...

I prefer miles. But then my commute is only 40 miles so range anxiety is never an issue. In a month I'm going on a 210 mile trip. My attitude might change after that!

Holy crap. That is a lot. That's FSD + winter tire package and change.

So you paid $61,500 which means after tax rebate it was $54,000 I paid $55,700 but with my tax rebate I paid $51,950. I got 19" wheels but you got EAP while I only got AP. And now my car after smaller rebate would be ball parky $2000 cheaper than what I paid. There is definitely a cost for...
