    FSDs is dangerous

    I believe it’s actually two parts. Honking and finger.

    FSDs is dangerous

    The most dangerous part off FSD is when you forget you turned it off. Come on, I can’t be the only one.

    Bought a Model 3 from a 3rd Party Seller

    My opinion: You bought a used car. When a tire is damaged the owner may not be able to secure a matching tire. If you want like new, buy a new car. LOL - I'm a big fan of round tires.

    Is the Tesla car or app causing phone problems in the house?

    I sure don't think so, the car is just another cell phone. First I've heard this complaint. I also have a 2023 MY.

    What car settings are needed for using SuperChargers?

    Sounds like you're good to go! As the Supercharger approaches your charge limit it slows down. For a faster charge you may want to increase you charge limit beyond what you need, then manually stop it when the desired charge is reached.

    What car settings are needed for using SuperChargers?

    If you plan on taking a trip recommend you do a test charge at a local SC. 1.) So you're convertible with it. 2.) A few people home charge fine, but when they got to a SC it didn't work due to a failed part.

    What car settings are needed for using SuperChargers?

    Assuming Tesla has your charge card on file, nothing. The Supercharger bypasses most of your settings. The one setting that may need to be changed is % to charge.

    This is insane, this needs to stop, another Hyundai stolen by teenagers

    That’s a later year model, it didn’t have the “easy to steal” issue. Assume the driver had the fob or the technology to hack the car. Gotta give the car credit, it took a licking and kept on ticking. A Tesla would have shut down on the first impact. Why do they hide the face of the bad guy?

    The MX is a good EV, but a bad reef. Anyways, this MX owner did okay.

    I really think most Phantom Breaking isn’t what it appears and it can be explained.

    Abrupt Phantom Breaking at high speed - scary

    It's called FSD Supervised, you should drive watching the road, hand of the steering wheel and a foot ready to press the brake or accelerator at all times. The fact that you went from 80 MPH to 40 MPH without taking corrective action speaks volumes, you're the driver. No need to turn off auto...

    FSD - update required to end free trial?

    LOL, no Tesla is smarter than that.

    New MY order with cracked windscreen

    Just have them replace the windshield. It’s a clean fix, pretty hard to do it wrong. Surprised Tesla didn’t fix it before you saw it.

    Protesters attempt to storm Tesla’s factory in Germany

    LondonCNN — As many as 800 activists gathered outside Tesla’s factory near Berlin Friday to protest its expansion plans, and some of them clashed with police as they attempted to break into the plant. “There are currently 800 activists on the Tesla Gigafactory site as part of the Disrupt Tesla...

    I heard BP wanted to hire to SC team that Musk fired, including those who repair the SC's and had $1B to invest in the Supercharger program.

    2022 Model X Range

    I think battery care is how you charge, not how you discharge. The only exceptions being running the battery down to 0% or letting the car sit unused for several months.

    The anti-Tesla EV lovers

    You forgot Hobby Lobby. I was raised in the church and don’t remember ever hearing politics from the pulpit. I’m by no means atheist, but now I have growing distrust of the church and people who regularly attend church.

    Best roof shades?

    I used a tint shop that owned and specialized in Tesla. He talked me out of tinting the roof, said the heat is coming through the windshield. Recommend a light tint on the windshield in addition to the other windows I was tinting. I listened to him thinking if necessary I’d return and tint the...

    Is Elon thinking of REHIRING some of the fired SuperCharging folks

    Been there, done that. In my case it was over a pay raise, half of 1%, I gave my notice the next morning. By the end of the day it 10% but I was already pissed and very clearly told them that. Best part, later it cost my boss his job.

    Better yet. Find a shop that does nothing but wheel alignments. I find they do outstanding work.

    Sorry, you can’t blame that on the car. You would have done the same without or without front bumper cameras. Clearly you screwed up, user error.

    Elon Musk Discussion - Tesla Brand Damage

    Not sure there is non stop media coverage of Tesla or Elon Musk. But you gotta admit, Elon gives the press a lot of ammo. Fire an entire division in the middle of the night via email, you’re going to make the news. Say F**k you, f**k you on national TV, you’re going to be on the news. A CIO...

    Help Pick Tires! 2020 MX LR+ - 22 inch Rims

    The Turanza does look like a nice tire, it’s in stock for my MY. A 50k mile warranty too, pretty good for an EV tire. On the pricy side, but if it’s as quiet as claimed.

    Help Pick Tires! 2020 MX LR+ - 22 inch Rims

    Go to Discount Tire, 9 in your area. Run the on-line configuration tool. Pretty much the same price, but Discount Tire gives you much better support after the sale. For me, I always put Michelin on my cars. I’d also make sure it’s an EV tire.

    Elon Musk Discussion - Tesla Brand Damage

    Four years ago I thought Elon Musk was the next Steve Jobs. The guy has been such a disappointment. Not only has he hurt Tesla, his latest antics have hurt the entire EV industry in the US and I suspect given China an upper hand.

    Coffee Spill and the Center Console

    The USB-C ports are just low voltage plugs, no electronics to worry about. Clean it up the best you can, maybe some compressed air, Q-tips and alcohol (even that is overkill). I don't see a need to disassemble anything. Drive on, nothing to worry about here. Cancel your appointment with the...

    My 2023 Model 3 got totaled :(

    I see some expensive damage but really surprised that’s a total. Have to assume the market for totaled Tesla’s without battery damage is high. Assuming you qualify, any limitation on collecting another $7,500 tax credit on the next EV purchase? Because Sharing is Caring.

    Collision damage M3

    Don’t cash the State Farm check. It will probably have a full and final statement right where you sign it. Don’t know Texas laws but yes you can negotiate the price. Start with getting a quote from the body shop of YOUR choice.
