    Road trip problems/questions

    So my wife took the M3P from CT to IL, then to Southern TX. I was her remote co pilot. She is navigationally challenged, and both of us are still learning some of the nuanced features of the interface. So here's what happened, what I learned, and some questions. The ability to share navigation...

    How's life without Premium Connectivity?

    I think it's priceless. PC gives you live traffic conditions, which allows nav to give you a different route based on your "save time" setting. A must have for me since my commute is 56 miles each way. Subscribed to Tidal to check out, Love it, and cant see losing it. Apple music was a nice...

    software upgrade 22.36.6 and FSD

    Just went from 36.6 to 36.20 this morning! First FSD drive was my 56 mile commute, half was on a 2 lane highway. A wonderful experience. FSD still wants to stop for flashing yellow lights in front of fire stations though, so I will never have a commute without disengagments. Is there a way to...

    Thoughts on driving through highly corrosive AFFF?

    I served in the Navy as well. AFFF is harmless. On submarines we just treated it like soapy water, I think you are confusing it with PKP, which is potassium bicarbonate (78–82% by weight), with addition of sodium bicarbonate. PKP is highly corrosive to electronics, while AFFF is not. Submarines...

    Setting my wife up for success with Autopilot

    My experience with lane choice on AP is the Left is the Best. In the owners manual it talks about AP automatically slowing if cars in the next lane are going slower (15-20 mph). If you're in the right lane next to the on ramps and someone is coming onto the road, AP will brake hard as if it's...

    FSD beta waiting game

    I'm in the same boat. What I've learned here is that accepting software updates is delaying access to FSD Beta. I'm currently on 2022.28.X, but FSD is running on 2022.20.X. Tesla apparently will not let you roll back to previous versions, so I'm going to have to wait for FSD to come to my...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    After 3 weeks of ownership I think it was worth it. The speed is great, but better than the speed is the constant smooth acceleration. No gear changes, accelerator lag, or power band, just a strong and smooth GO! I still love to punch it frequently! I don't think I'll ever use Track Mode, but...

    Model 3 pairing with iPhone XR - no video sound on phone.

    Iphone will not play through the phone speakers if you are paired with a BT audio/video output source, Same if you are plugged in with a hard wire to an output source. Nothing going wrong, just an iphone quirk.

    They did 2 pieces on the back glass, but put the seam on the factory tint. I can't find the seam at all.

    I had Suntek installed last week. 20% on the sides and back and 70% on the roof. Love it, and a definite reduction in cabin heat.

    Delivery Day Rescheduling

    I wouldn't worry about it. Got my car a week ago and never got any texts other than the VIN assignment. Thought it was a reject, but it wasn't. VIN text to pickup was 7 days.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    That's the version mine came with, 1 week later no sign of an update. It seems to have no rhyme or reason on who gets what when. If I had to guess, I believe they give the least buggy version to new deliveries so we have a stable platform to learn the car on. I would assume they load the...

    FWIW, I got the VIN 2 days after my 13 day window, and took delivery a week later. Good luck! I'm only here waiting on you to get yours.

    Has Tesla Build quality improved on new Model 3s in 2022?

    I have owned a Model 3 for 4 days. I was terrified about build quality issues, malfunctions as soon as I drive away, and a generally miserable experience. My car is none of those, so far. Don't worry about it. for every "bad" build which people will be happy to tell you about, I'm sure there...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    Took delivery today at Mt. Kisco NY. Zero issues with the car. SC had the car unlocked so we were able to inspect the interior before accepting. Mobile charger with a J1772 adaptor in the trunk (OD 5/13) Forgot to enable all of the autopilot options before leaving, so I was actually happy for...

    Well, it finally came. Got the text last night to schedule delivery! So we'll get the White Rabbit on Sunday. 80 days from order to delivery, 7 days from VIN to delivery.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    How long does it take Tesla to take money out of your bank account? Authorized access to my account yesterday, App shows they have credited me with my down payment, but the cash is still in my bank account. What a trip! I have never payed that much money for something I've never seen, touched...

    Well, got a VIN today, but I'm kinda worried. 310968 Seems a little old'ish car has 15 miles on it. Someone's reject? Also went from EDD 8/5-8/15 to delivery next week on the East coast.

    Mine too, went from 8/4-8/18 to 8/5-8/18. I've been expecting a VIN this week, based on other's order dates vs mine. Hope it comes this weekend. Definitely checking source code when I get home.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    I wondered about that. My best guess is that they have a central production monitoring system that plans the order of production based on options and then estimates when different builds will run. All blue models, then red, etc. Seems to me that paint color changes would be the big efficiency...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    After changing my order from LR to P on June 29th, I had a EDD jump yesterday to July 25 to August 8th. I changed a month to the left! Still no VIN, but happy I could potentially have a new car in a month!

    Just curious, how many people ordered M3LR and switched to M3P. How much sooner did you get the car?

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    True, but in the event your car gets totaled how does your insurance value your car? My understanding is that the price of software add-ons after purchase is typically not reimbursed.

    Can wife follow our order of car in her own app or only after delivery?

    I just signed my wife's phone into my Tesla account so she could track the EDD. My understanding is that we only need one account. When we get the car we continue to use one account, because her phone will pair as her key, but she should still have the same app functionality as I would. Just my...

    What would you pay for FSD, if anything?

    Although I have never experienced Tesla vehicles, I opted to include the $12,000 FSD when I ordered last month. I have a history of keeping vehicles for a long time, and keeping them low miles (current is a Lexus ES 350 I've owned for 9 years with only 67,000 mi). In my opinion, when FSD is...

    Tesla Bad Publicity Because Of User Error.

    Might be fake. Not sure, but I believe there’s a lot of scared ICE manufacturers and big oil that don’t want Tesla to keep growing at suck a fast pace. So I wouldn’t put it past them

    Tesla Bad Publicity Because Of User Error.

    There was a Pic floating around twitter that showed the drivers window pushed out before the car was on fire. Not sure if it was real. I took a screenshot. When I'm on my phone I'll post it here.

    Tesla Employment

    Just wondering if anyone here works or has worked at Tesla. I'm retired military, and working with the DOD, but would like to divorce from the government, and was considering Tesla as an option in a non factory role. Just looking for info. Right now its just an Idea, but could be more in the future.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Been looking and drooling for a few years, and finally ordered M3LR FSD on Friday the 13th (our lucky day). I didn't know how bad the wait anxiety would be! Can't believe how many times I check the app every day.
