I recently traded in my Tesla for another Tesla and paid the difference in cash via the app. The SC swapped my old plate (NC has no front plate) and said the title and registration would be mailed. I drove with the old registration for 2 or 3 weeks until the new one arrived by US mail . It...

Study: Electric Vehicles Involved in Fewest Car Fires as quoted by KBB from 2020 NTSB data.

I took mine to Discount Tire and they plugged it for free even though my Tesla had OEM tires not bought from them. I was fully expecting to be charged. I guess I did buy a set of tires from them last year for my wife's car. They will advise you of any cost beforehand so you have nothing to lose.

I bought mine on the last day of Q1 and it had $7100 worth of Tesla discounts plus of course the Federal Rebate of $7500. It was manufactured in Austin in March of 2024. In terms of future discounts, I have seen prices fluctuate both ways with Tesla. Ends of quarters are a favorite time for...

I personally think 1 foot from a barrier is a good distance. How did it park in relation to the entire spot? Was it pretty much centered, front, back, left and right? We all have our preferences, but I prefer to be centered all around particularly, in parking lots, to lessen the overall...

Model 3 User Manual on line I searched on parking.

I went to Discount Tire, fully expecting to be charged for the screw in my tire, but they repaired it for free even though it was an OEM tire not purchased from them. Of course this assumes it is repairable and has no damage to the sidewall.

Just picked it up on Easter Sunday. Gotta love those end of quarter discounts.

Here is my new Tesla MYLR in Ultra Red. I like the color and have received several unsolicited positive comments on it. It was an end of Q1 incentive deal that I couldn't pass up.

I agree with most all of the critiques posted thus far. I would like to add that the hesitancy to go, unless all is clear at an intersection, or very slow starts from a stop can be mitigated by pressing the accelerator somewhat and it will remain in FSD mode. That behavior has made it much...

I have 2024.3.10 on a '24 MYLR and it works in marked spaces. I haven't tried it on the side of a roadway yet. I will try to remember to update once I have. You stop near where you want to park and then it highlights its preferred spot in blue (I think you can choose other grey ones though)...

How many Supercharger miles did you use for this trip? How does that compare to odometer miles? I ask because I got some free miles that I will be using for a road trip in a couple of months. Thanks.

That's the error message I got when I tried to type it in, pasting didn't work either. I'm wondering if I used a different authenticator to set it up. I must have used one for MFA, right? Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get the backup codes, I believe. I appreciate your assistance.

I tried using Microsoft authenticator but it gives an extra digit which the Tesla app will not accept. I also tried Google authenticator, but it won't work in multi screen mode which, if you are using your phone to authenticate, it has to. When I go into my security profile it then asks for...

I have the same problem. I have been using the backup codes, but now I'm down to two. Everytime I go into change the profile it asks for another backup code and now I'm close to running out. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I tried the chatbot on the sales site as someone on TMC...

I suggest we put our car specs in our signature line, that way everyone has the context of our postings.

I filed mine using H&R Block on February 15th the day IRS form 8936 was said to be finalized. I got my direct deposit refund today which included the clean vehicle credit. I kept getting the message from H&R that the form was still in draft, until the 15th of February. When was the last time...

Thanks for the write-up, congrats on your choices. We too are a retired couple. Why we chose the Y was Federal Tax Rebate (full $7500) Range, and Tesla's charging network as we do make two or three road trips a year, one of which is ~ 1k miles each way. I do hope future Teslas get more...

Must be when/how your particular imagery was shot. Google Maps updates every 1 to 3 years, depending on the location. Sample from my area:

237 Wh/mi for 18,870 miles in 1 year and 8 days of ownership. I leave Sentry mode on (except at home). I generally don't speed beyond 10 mph over the limit and avoid jack rabbit starts unless I must for safety reasons. I occassionally precondition the climate before leaving, but < 10% of the...

Do you have personal experience using this one? I recently bought another manufacturer's 512 Gb memory stick and it would not work in my MY. Hence my hesitation before purchasing another to replace the pitiful 128 Gb OEM model which I filled up in about 8 months.

I have a '23 Model Y LR. It has the comfort suspension. It still feels stiff to me at 16K miles. I had my windows fixed by a mobile tech today who asked about how I liked the car after 10 months of ownership. I said I liked it alot, but the ride was stiffer than I'd prefer. He said it...

I'm running 4.28.1.

No problem on my Android phone. Using Samsung S23 Ultra running Android version 13.

Not sure where to find the rates in the app. I just did a pretend long distance trip that listed about 8 different superchargers and no rates were listed. I would love to put this in a spreadsheet but don't know how to post that here. Any ideas are welcome. There is one duplicate in that one...

I was looking for recent posts about supercharger costs and found no centralized location for that data. So I am going to post my data from this year and maybe something will come of it. I skipped any duplicate sites as the purpose is to document charging rates at the time and not my personal...

Seems like it could be a good upgrade as I agree the factory installed mirror is weak. I question as to what would happen if the video feed were to somehow fail? Would you still see a reflected image? If not, how long have you had it installed, and has it ever failed? We know Teslas can be...

I usually check this site: Not a Tesla App they seem to be quite accurate and descriptive.

244 Wh/mi after 12K miles of driving on mostly suburban streets with occasional highway driving (<10%). I have taken one long road trip ~ 1K miles and two shorter ones averaging 400 miles (all round trips so double the miles). I don't do jack rabbit starts except for the rare need for accident...

Keep in mind there are many voice activated commands that work pretty well and might lessen some of that technophobia. I haven't seen whether or not you have taken her on a test drive and/or rented one. Some people are sold as soon as they try it, others not so much, but worth trying.

You are right. I forgot about the send being a push button. Maybe voice send could be coming in a future update. Hopefully sooner than FSD. 🙂

I wonder if you had any signicant temperature fluctuations during the period in question? Apparently there is a sweet spot for LiOn batteries around 21.5 degrees Celcius (or 70.7 Farenheit). Interesting article: Temps and Range

After installing 2023.20.9, I just had to sign in again for Tesla Streaming (Slacker Pro, now LiveOne). I used the car account and it came right up.

In 2019, Tesla vehicles had a lesser chance of catching fire than internal combustion engine vehicles, with a rate of 1 fire for every 175 million miles driven in Teslas compared to 1 fire for every 19 million miles driven in ICE cars.May 5, 2023 Source: Tesla Car Fire Statistics And Trends in 2023.

Some have said disabling Sentry Mode will do that. I dunno. Here's what I found... From the Model 3 User Manual: If Model 3 is in Sentry Mode (see How to Use Sentry Mode (Camera + App)), you must disable Sentry Mode before you can disable the Security alarm or the Tilt/Intrusion alarm...

Insignificant right? Unless its yours or mine. Worth checking. Mine came out clean.

I have used this method for years without any issues. The last dealership that I traded my Prius Prime in at before the Tesla thought it was immaculate. I usually use two or three microfiber towels but no other preparation. The ceramic finish is very smooth.

I'm averaging 268 Wh/mile for 6250 miles, mostly local driving around 50 mph. I have 3 road trips totalling about 1500 miles at 75 - 80 mph that no doubt have affected my efficiency. Still when compared to ICE, I feel pretty good about my usage.
