Just saw this on the freeway. Not in love with the aqua color, but how it was split up is an interesting take on it. If you're not one that loves the look of the Cybertruck and it's triangle roof, doing the top in Black and the sides in a lighter color do certainly help hide the lines of the...

Read where one Tesla Cybertruck owner had his orders canceled and banned from purchasing any future Tesla's because he listed, not sold, just listed, his Cybertruck for sale. Cars & Bids (horrible auction site), Doug DeMuro released a video of why he hasn't reviewed one yet, supposedly because...

$6,000 to $6,500 for a factory wrap is ridiculous. With this thing having straight as an arrow panels, should be the easiest vehicle in the world to wrap. No curves to deal with, which is the most difficult part of wrapping most vehicles and why places charge so much. But, if you shop around...

With all my other policies in the past and present, including with Mercury, they allow you one ticket on your record in 2 or 3 years without penalty. Not the case with Tesla Insurance! Had been paying $155 per month, which was much cheaper than Mercury offered. But, got my first ticket in 8...

After my first Tesla in 2012, I was spoiled. With no competitors to come along for many years, I was stuck with just buying new Tesla's for the next 10 years. They had my two "must have" items (Supercharging & Auto Pilot). Wouldn't buy any other EV if it didn't have those. The Auto Pilot one...

After having owned some 13 Tesla's, most that have never seen a service center, had a busy week with back to back to back issues. I posted last week of oddly watching my car being driven away with the key fob in my pocket by a Tesla service tech. Went in last week to purchase the 2 year...

Had to go into a Tesla service center to purchase the extended service agreement after nearly a full day of the run-around with Tesla trying to tell me my car was not eligible, despite being the original owner, under 4 years and well under 50,000 miles. Finally, they reversed course and took my...

A bit of old news that Tesla started offering a full steering wheel. Another of my predictions that came true. Many claimed they were good with the Yoke, but when given the choice, their actions spoke louder than words. Tesla again just trying to be different for the sake of being different...

It's Tesla decisions like this that remind me that Tesla's head has grown just too big. Sell $100,000+++ car and cheap out by not including a $200 portable charger. Now, they're cheaping out further by no longer selling the Model S & X with a $175 key fob. This, despite knowing that the...

Now that we have the details about the Rivian SUV, seems only fair to compare it to the only other 7-seater all EV SUV. Still two different vehicles. Much like the F-150 and the Rivian Truck. Two different purposes, but this as close as we get. Originally, thought Rivian’s new price point was...

Purchased my first Model S in 2013. Have had several since. Even tried a Model 3, but that was a very short-lived experiment. Having been spoiled with the higher quality levels of the Model S, the Model 3 for me was a huge downgrade. Tech wise, it nearly matches it, but the extra $40,000 or so...

Not one to advertise projects, but just saw Kim Java's video regarding T-Sportline's new instrument cluster for the Model 3 & Y. First one that could arguably pass as factory made. This is one of the big turn offs for me with the Model 3 versus a Model S. Tesla fixed the keyfob issue. Now, if...

Took my dad's car for a while. It's nearing the end of the warranty period and found a few bugs it has so went the app to schedule a service call and the soonest available date to get it in is JUNE 20TH! Wow! That is just ridiculous. Bad enough that you can't call anyone to get a simple "2...

https://electrek.co/2022/04/15/tesla-doesnt-let-anyone-buy-car-lease-over-used-car-prices-skyrocketing/ And Tesla yet again, makes another decision that hurts potential customers. Just about every other car company on the planet allows you to buy a car you lease. Tesla prevented it on the Model...

Another of Tesla's ingenious ideas that we don't need. Cool party trick, but not practical. Now, apparently, can't go out to the garage to grab something out the truck without first grabbing the keyfob, phone or key card. I love Tesla for their innovation, but sometimes it's just too much. I...

Only this time, fortunately it wasn't the Tesla that caught fire. Was parked next to a trailer that caught fire and this is what my just washed black Tesla looked like after the amazing firefighters did a great job to get the fire out quickly!! Fortunate, nobody was hurt and I think the car...

Having been in a Tesla for nearly 9 years, I've grown accustomed to my cars becoming quickly outdated as Tesla continuously releases new features. At first, it bugged me, then, I adapted and learned that's just the price of Tesla's progress. With my 2019, I mostly had all the updates of the...

Since I got updated to 10.3 Beta a while ago, noticed I haven't received an update since. After a little research, appears most are now on version 10.5? Or is the only to a select few? I still don't have the live camera view in my car that most seem to have. Wondering if that has to do with the...

I've owned several Model S cars. In each and every case, including my current 2019 Raven, have always had a range efficiency that hovered in the 325-335 wh/mi range. Given, weather in So Cal has been great and perfect weather for an EV in the 75-85 degree range, But over the past several weeks...

The new 80 MPH overall speed limit is HORRIBLE!. In the past, was 90 MPH on highways and up to 5 MPH over speed limit on streets Was good with that. Now, they allow 80 MPH on city streets.....why??? But also, even though FSD switches to the original Nav on AP when on freeways, they reduced...

Just curious if anyone has been able to put a figure on what the resale value of the $10,000 FSD option is on a 3 year old car? I ran Kelly Blue Book, which had the option to run it with or without. I ran both and was only $1,000 higher with than without! 90% loss in value per KBB anyway, but...

I couldn't resist. After the update, had to take it out for a test drive. Most of what people have said about it is just the same. Accelerates like a bat out of hell out of corners. Gets awfully close to curbs on turns and when there's a left island. Stops quite hard......etc. My notable...

So, Tesla has been active today. Never hear anything from them other than for updates of when statements are available. I'm hoping this was somehow just a one-off glitch. I know Tesla has it's own way of doing things and all, and so many Fanboi's go along with it. Tesla very much has an "our...

Seeing more and more of these. Clearly, this releasing FSD Beta only to drivers who "game" the system the best to get perfect 100 scores is working oh so well. Whoever came up with the parameters clearly doesn't live in reality. If they want to rate their drivers, they need to come up with...

If you're not bored and are limited on time, don't bother to read this! I am bored waiting for a meeting to start, so will share my experience for anyone interested. TIC So, we all know, Tesla released this Safety Score rating thing. Originally opted out as its requirements would spoil the...

https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/28/22696463/tesla-fsd-beta-nda-video-clips-controversy-full-self-driving To Tesla's defense, I completely see their point in having owners sign NDA's before releasing testing versions of FSD. Few people ever post boring videos of things working as they should...

I'll probably flunk their test. I'm commonly on tight canyon roads and get constant false collision warnings. I constantly thinks I'm going to hit cars that parked when I'm nowhere close. It's bad enough that I've considered turning off the feature because it gets annoying to constantly have...

https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-s-plaid-bad-edmunds-review/ Pretty much repeats most of what I've been saying for the past couple months through several prior posts and supports why, sadly, after 9 years in a Tesla, my current Model S will be my last, at least for while. Hideous...

Have watched countless reviews of the new refreshed Model S, I guess in hopes that somehow I might be convinced to stick with Tesla after 9+ years already, once my current lease is up next year. Unfortunately, most are just re-iterating my decision that my current Model S will sadly be my last...

https://www.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk-says-cybertruck-cost-234740122.html Knowing Tesla, assuming nobody is surprised by this. But, being that we already near August and Tesla still hasn't figured out the batteries, you know, just one of those teeny tiny little details needed for an Electric...

Three days in a row, received notification that I had an update. Three days in a row, successful updates. Three days in a row, received the same list of what was included in the update. Three days in a row, the same thing was on the list. All three times, tells me it was to reload the game Sky...

https://www.yahoo.com/news/brand-tesla-model-plaid-spontaneously-224528567.html What concerned me most about the article, after knowing that the owner is OK, thank god, is that he struggled to get the car unlocked to get out of the car. Yes, ALL cars catch fire on very rare occasions...

People have been asking for this across forums, articles, etc, etc. for years. For one of the best navigation systems on the planet, was baffling that you couldn't enter multiple destinations. Apparently, Elon had a grudge against doing so. Despite the countless requests, apparently it took...

Sometime in the past few weeks, anytime I tap the horn, the talk button is activated. Anyone else notice this? Tried to find away to turn this off and can't find any option to do so. it's quite annoying. Seeing everything that's said displaying on the screen when there's no reason for it. Plus...

Any been seen this before? Popped on my my screen. Was beating like heart, an evil AI spaceship type heart. Couldn't do anything with it. It stayed up no matter what screen I bought up. Tried touching it, moving it, nothing. It was permanently affixed in place until I rebooted. Was very strange...

Found this on the internet https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/132010149_4154776954552368_3041540907186268890_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&ccb=2&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=L5cuiPJgsvoAX9zYgpE&_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-1.xx&oh=9ae1cc943791d0b419f8cab4d99221e9&oe=60089ACD

Sold my Model 3 a while ago and just realized I still have the original OEM stock front bumper cover and stock springs from a Black 2017 Model 3 LR RWD. No damage, likely just some very minor road debris wear typical of any car. Certainly nothing obvious that doesn't exist on any year old (or...

Finally was able to get the car washed after 3 months!! And finally got some photos of the car complete. See similar looking cars stating that over $30,000 was spent to get this look. Many of the Tesla suppliers understand that most Tesla Model S drivers can afford the best and their prices...

Have seen two youtuber's try the Las Vegas V3 supercharger and they ramped up only to around 150 kw charging speed. Curious if anyone else has tried a V3 supercharger somewhere else and noticed any faster charging speed with the Raven Model S or X? Tesla advertised that faster charging was...
