100 option in the performance adjustment mode

I had a test drive (the 3rd over 1 years time god do I love this car...) yesterday in a 90D. While driving the Tesla guy wanted to show me the difference between the acceleration of the 70D and 90D pressed and hold the Tesla Logo entered performance as a passwort (now this is not new) and tada... in the drop down there was a 100 listed. He was very fast and I m driving so not sure if it was just 100 100D or both options but I saw the 100. I don t think that it was there the last time I saw this performance adjustment mode in a youtube video. What are your thought or can somebody test and post a pic?

100% charge only charging to 93%

This has happened the past 2x I have tried charging to 100%. At 93% it is showing 183 miles but will not charge past this amount. 6 months ago it was charging to 199 miles no issues. Is this weather related?(upstate NY) does the car need to re calibrate somehow? UPDATE** Fixed: As advised went as close to 0 miles as possible and charged to 100% overnight. My car now shows 193 miles and 100%

You may be talking about battery degradation. For instance my 75 charged to 249 miles when new at 100%. Now after a year and a half and 18k miles my 100% charge is 236 Miles or around 95% of the battery at delivery. Tesla has stated that 5% seems to be the norm in the first year or so then it levels off very slowly after that.

12 and 13 Model S owners: how is your car running today?

I just purchased my Model S 90D (awaiting production) and am curious how reliable my Model S will be. I read a story recently about a guy on the east coast with a 13 Model S with 140 000 miles and still running strong. Just curious what others have experienced.

Check out Bjorn Nyland s YouTube channel. He has a 2013 P85 with 240 000km. He did a 3 hour multi-part review a few months back it was excellent. From memory he loves the car he has had a handful (2-4) failures that have left the car undrivable and been back for minor repairs many times all at Tesla s expense.

Ive found several Model S 2013 in my price range however the majority of the vehicles I like (visually) have well over 70k on them.

2014 85 with 30k - I love my car to death but have had many issues with it mostly small that I won t bother listing but a couple of big ones including AC failure (requiring a tow from Supercharger) leaking coolant during first 5k pano roof creaking not closing during first 5k and badly leaking water more recently drive unit replaced at 20k due to noise air suspension required re-turning for calibration after drive unit was replaced etc). Mostly treated exceptionally well by NY and FL Service Centers (a few communication issues lately but I think they are just overwhelmed right now). Again I love the car and heavily evangelize it despite. As long as they stay responsive and keep providing loaners (its always fun to try out loaners with Autopilot or performance options) I will remain happy and excited about Tesla and will continue to spread the good word every day. I LOVE the car and am willing to put up with the inconveniences but I don t think anyone should lie about or hide the issues they ve experienced. I know some fans tend to get upset when you share the negative experiences - frankly I would expect these types of issues from a brand new manufacturer and if you ve owned a BMW I m sure you ve had your share of service visits. EDIT: One more issue to add. Today my car is getting a loaner battery so they can send my battery out to CA for repair which will take 8-10 weeks. Nothing was wrong with it that I noticed except a Call Tesla Service message that wouldn t go away. They tried to figure out what the message meant remotely for a week with a call into HQ. When I didn t hear back from them for an entire week I finally called and insisted we schedule an appointment to help expedite the resolution (before my 900 mile trip to NY). Ironically they couldn t figure out the cause of the message which that they themselves (well HQ) pushed out. :( Anyway after I brought it in they saw the message and are swapping the battery as we speak. Unfortunately they had no loaner vehicles so I m stuck with a gas guzzling Buick from Enterprise with no washer fluid and a check engine oil light. I d rather they give me a Ford Echo or something economical but oh well I guess that s Enterprise s fault not Teslas. Anyway I still love my car and can t wait to get it back. And at least I can use their battery all summer as mine is repaired. As a fan and stock holder I do worry about the cost of these battery repairs - shipping the battery from FL to CA back to NY can t be cheap! I love that Tesla is being pro-active with my battery but a little bit annoyed by the way it was handled. Why not an email or phone call or something instead of wasting a week trying to figure out what the service message was for?

15 S vs 17 S Significant Deltas?

I am looking at 2 options: Brand New Model S 75D or a CPO 2015 Model S 85D 90D. What are the significant changes outside of Autopilot 2? What exactly are the NextGen seats? Also I understand the new Model S will be significantly faster than a 85D however the 90D will be similar in speed. Will the 15S still have summon?

Automatically change lanes without requiring driver input

Does anyone know how EAP s Automatically change lanes without requiring driver input works when it triggers etc? I had assumed it was something like when you put on your turn signal it would automatically change lanes for you accordingly. But upon further consideration hitting a turn signal is driver input. Does it mean it will change lanes to avoid a crash? Or will it change lanes based on my destination like when it determines that I need to get over to exit the highway? (Seems possible since it can also transition between highways.) Or if I tell it I want to go 80mph will it calculate the locations and speeds of all of the cars in all of the lanes ahead of &amp beside me then brilliantly maneuver among all the lanes to get me out into the open where I can cruise? (Of course not... but that d be sweet.)

No one really knows. It isn t operational in anyone s cars. The closest now is that the car will change lanes if you put the blinker on but it s still up to you to check the lane is clear and initiate it. Presumably it means all the reasons one would change lanes now. Exits emergency vehicles getting out from behind grandma etc. Edit for clarity: As I understand it it won t change lanes *right into* a car but it s up to you to check there s not someone currently 40 feet back going 30 MPH faster than you that will be where you want to be by the time you get there. So that in effect is still you checking to see it s clear.

Autosteer Disabled On This Road for HW2?

I have HW2 and the latest update. TACC seems to work fine which I m happy about. I was excited to try Autosteer too but no matter which road I m on highway or street I would always get a Autosteer Disabled On This Road message. Is my Model X still calibrating? If so do I have to continue driving until it has enough data? Or could it be some of my cameras need to be calibrated at a service location? Or is it some other error? Or could it be my location? Perhaps I need to wait for Tesla to approve which roads I can use before I can use Autosteer? I m located in Toronto Canada by the way.

Blind Spot Warning for Doors?

Hey there! If you re like me you are always very careful in cities or when parking at the side of a street before you open any door of your car: Check mirrors quick look behind you. Especially some bikers in cities are fast! Unfortunately this type of carefulness is not always present within any person you take with you. After having several Ah ah aaah! Check clearance first before pressing that door-open button -moments with some of my passengers lately an idea came to my mind: &amp #x200B * Our cars are already able to detect cars motorcycles and bikes very reliable with their cameras right? * Our cars also already have a blind-spot warning feature which uses the repeater cameras to check the sides of your car when changing lanes. * And we have a button to unlock the doors so in other words: An electronically controlled unlocking system. (As long your &gt = 60 yr. old uncle doesn t find the emergency-unlocker. Oh boy!) &amp #x200B How would be a feature that uses this object detection when you park and sit in your car for let s say up to 5 or 10 minutes or so after park (to save battery and cpu power) and if you press the door-unlock button while a moving object is detected it won t open the door but beeps and a message moving object nearby detected potential collision with door prevented shows up. Press the button again to override that protection or - if the danger is over or not there - door unlocks as usual. &amp #x200B What do you think about that? Good idea to extend already available features with an additional layer of security or an annoying feature you would instantly turn off?

Car needs service error while supercharging

Hi everyone - recently was charging at the Gilroy supercharger and the first supercharging session abruptly stopped after 2 minutes and said Charing interrupted at 10:00am with battery at 46% on my phone. I went to check on the car and there was no one near it. After about a minute the car resumed charging. We couldn t stay long (only charged for about 15%) and went on our road trip for the day Later that evening we used the same stall to supercharge and this time the same issue happened twice (while we were sitting in the car). It would pause for a little while and then resume shortly after. However the second time I received a notification on the screen saying Unable to charge check charging equipment . I could hear the high voltage contactors switching off. I figured because it was the same stall as earlier I would try another one for troubleshooting. I was hitting about 120kW when this happened both times. I went to a completely different stall and was charging up again. After about 5 minutes the car stops charging but this time receive an error on the screen of Car needs service unable to charge . This time it wouldn t charge at all. My wife was getting tired so I couldn t do any more troubleshooting and head home. Yesterday I went to the Sunnyvale supercharger (which was completely full). The highest I got was 50kW but the car continued charging from about 40% to 90% no problem. I haven t been able to try this with another charger (such as NEMA 14-50) but hope to soon. Planning to drop by one of the service centers tomorrow and see what they say. I called the Tesla support line and they mentioned it could be a faulty part on the car. Would love to hear if anyone had a similar occurrence or error messages and how you went about solving it. Below are two photos with error messages - please let me know if they don t work. Thank you! https: postimg.cc gallery 31dlkj3no

Come to Me hit a parking pole

A very unfortunate incident happened to my Model 3 this morning. I got v10 couple of weeks back and today I thought to test the summon feature. My car was parked in my apartment s parking spot. The parking spot has two poles on right side. I didn t realize that car will not see them. Anyway to test the summon I just walked away few steps and open Tesla App and then press and hold Come to Me . Car turned on itself and instead of going little straight and then make right it just turned right immediately. As a result it scratched deep through the right door panel. Right front side door handle is now not functioning as well. So sad to see this to one of my most favorite purchase (just 5 months old). :( :( I don t know where is tbe best place to get this fixed. Talked to Tesla Service Center (San Jose Sunnyvale) they said they don t do body repairs and recommended to go to Caliber Collision or Brooks. Unfortunately both of them are closed today tomorrow. So wanted to check here in reddit forum if anyone has suggestions for Tesla Model 3 Body repair please let me know. I have AAA insurance - Does insurance cover this type of incidents? Any idea how much can it cost to replace the entire right front side door panel? I have $500 deductible. Please let me know if anyone has any recommendations for me.

There s no sensor on the middle section of the car. I don t think the B pillar cameras are being used for obstacle detection yet. There is a YouTube video of somebody hitting the garage door opening. That would indicate that there s a blind spot to the sides of the car.

Do I qualify for the $7500 tax credit?

So as many folks have pointed out not everyone will qualify for the full $7500 tax credit. As I have just discovered I may not qualify because I m already banking on lots of existing credits education and kids. Seems funny to me that if I chose not to go to school or have kids that I d be able to take more advantage of this. The following link explains where to look on your prior tax returns for whether or not you ll qualify for the full amount: https: ttlc.intuit.com questions 2719896-what-does-tax-liability-mean-is-that-the-amount-i-still-owe Essentially on a 1040 look at line 63. On a 1040A look at line 39. On a 1040EZ look at line 12. If the dollar amount on these lines is not at least $7500 then you will not get $7500 back. You will get whatever that line says which in my case since I have the education and child credits is about $1500. With that in mind I have some soul searching on whether I keep my reservation or cancel and buy at a later time. Make sure you checking your math prior to doing this. As many folks have pointed out the tax credit is not the same as a refund and as such you cannot count on getting the whole $7500. Go check your tax returns and the amounts listed on the lines above. If they re not at or above $7500 then you may want to refactor your plans accordingly.

A heads up that you should **not** use line 63 on the 1040 (and corresponding lines on others). You want line **56**. We use the term tax liability a little loosely and line 56 only applies to *refundable* credits not non-refundable ones like the EV credit. [Here s the 1040 for reference](https: www.irs.gov pub irs-pdf f1040.pdf) (PDF) for the rest of this post. What s going on in line 63 is your *tax* found on line 47 minus all non-refundable credits (48-54)... note the enter -0- comment - that means if you owe $4000 but get $5000 in credits you only subtract $4000 and don t get to put in -$1000). But note then it also adds all those *Other taxes* to get to line 63. *These do not factor into your credit!* Source: [Form 8936](https: www.irs.gov pub irs-pdf f8936.pdf) (PDF) is where you apply your plug in EV tax credit (linked to [from here](https: www.irs.gov credits-deductions individuals plug-in-electric-drive-vehicle-credit-section-30d)). Note it says (emphasis mine): &gt Enter the smaller of line 19 or line 22 here and on Form 1040 line **54** or Form 1040NR line 51. So the EV tax credit applies to your taxes prior to line 56 not 63. Example: Like say line 47 is $6500 (your tax ) but you also have $3000 in self-employment taxes (line 57). Before applying the credit line 63 will $9500. But you only get $6500 worth of the EV credit - *not* the full credit. And then you will owe $3000 in those SE taxes because $6500-$6500+$3000=$3000.

Educational Test Drive a Model S?

I was thinking about scheduling a test drive of the Model S just to see how it feels in prep for the Model 3. However I wasn t able to find good time to do it in my area and never went through with scheduling an appointment. A few hours later I got a call from Fremont. He explained to me that they do educational test drives for Model 3 reservation holders but only have them between Monday-Thursday. Has anyone heard of this? TL DR: Model 3 reservation holders can do educational test drives Monday-Thursday only.

Engineering has now told SCs to stop replacing mispainted defective panels under warranty - Should I engage my state s Lemon Law? Anyone done this?

So I own a white MY that s been repainted completely because the doors were a different color. Well now the plastic rear bumper cover doesn t match the rest of the car and the SC is refusing to replace while also acknowledging the defective part. They have the parts in stock locally have said the paint is pretty bad my car is under warranty and they ve simply told me to punch sand. I understand this wasn t the intent of the Lemon Law (TX in this case) but considering filing a complaint regardless. This car still has misaligned door panels and the local SC has dropped a window on the rear quarter denting it and removing paint (still not repaired). Am I wasting my time with this complaint and should I look into some sort of class action lawsuit? PM me if you re in the same boat.

You can expect him to try to sell you a Model S. The recent changes are probably the pricing changes with the 75. He could also be referring to CPO inventory models that are priced competitively compared to a well-equipped Model 3.

Failed to turn on Climate bug in 2019.40.2.1 Model S

Hey folks I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this and if so if they ve found any workarounds. About 75% of the time I try to turn on climate control remotely via the app I get the message Failed to turn on Climate and predictibly climate doesn t turn on. I m currently on 2019.40.2.1 but this issue actually started on the previous update. Some notes: * This seems to happen 100% of the time when my car is plugged in. It doesn t matter if it is charging or not. * This seems to happen 50-75% of the time when my car is not plugged in. * Location doesn t seem to matter. It feels like it happens more when I m at home but I ve had it happen when I m away from home as well. * Once I get the error closing and re-opening the app doesn t fix the issue. The only way to get climate to come on is to get in the car. * Climate control always turns on fine when I physically get in the car. * One time after getting this message I grabbed my key and went to the car. I got in the passenger side turned on climate control (it came on) and then hit the button to Keep On . I then got an error message *inside the car* that the keep on functionality failed (edit: it was the same as [this message](https: imgur.com TXdhrcS)) * I briefly tried scheduled departure but I ended up turning that off and going back to scheduling a time to start charging instead. I m not sure if this is related. I kind of doubt it but I thought I d throw it out there. Anyone else seen this? Any ideas? For reference I have a 2017 Model S with AP2.5 and MCU1. Edit: it s not wifi. I have this problem even when I m away from home and not connected but just to verify I removed my home wifi connection from the car and confirmed it s still happening.

Free Supercharging is currently enabled for MR 3

3 1 UPDATE - I know the site is a mess today but it now shows Pay Per Use supercharging even though I should have free for eight more months. And now back to Free Supercharging is currently enabled . Just gonna wait for Elon to explain after the dust settles. *** Bought my MR 3 a month ago right before the referrals ended and had never test driven so I was entitled to nine months of supercharging. Checked yesterday and it said I had free supercharging until 11 1 19. Now it just says Free Supercharging is currently enabled I would have rather saved the $4 000 that a MR 3 now costs from when I bought it a month ago but looks like Tesla may have opened up us previous owners to free supercharging for good now. https: imgur.com a z2uUrUH Anyone else seeing the same?

I feel you but I won t blame Tesla for taking what money people are willing to pay... -) &amp #x200B Edit: Y all aren t getting free supercharging for life anymore. My bad! &amp #x200B My car price story goes like this: August 2018 delivery: $80 000 (fully spec d P3D+) + $1 000 (dest. &amp doc fee) + 8.75% tax on that (=$7087.50) + $813 (other fees) = $88 900.50 \- $5 000 refund for the Performance Upgrade when it suddenly became free - this also removed free lifetime supercharging for me. \- $7 500 federal tax credit = $76 400.50 (with paid supercharging) &amp #x200B If I were to configure the same car today it would cost me: $69 500 (fully spec d P3D+) + $1 200 (dest. &amp doc fee) + 8.75% tax on that (= $6186.25) + \~$813 (other fees) = $77 699.25 \- $3750 federal tax credit = $73 949.25 ~~(with free supercharging for life still on)~~ &amp #x200B So if I had just waited I could have: \- not given Tesla an interest-free $1000 loan for 2 whole years (I was a line stander) \- saved $2451.25 ~~- retained free supercharging for life~~ &amp #x200B And I just finally got my spoiler installed today haha! But it s sure been fun having this car for an extra half year!

Issues with Tesla Referral Program

Fully Clicked turn signal cancels when doing manual lane changes.

This seems like relatively new behavior. If you fully click (through the first soft detent) the Model 3 s turn signal stalk and then do a manual lane change (no autopilot at all) the turn signal will automatically cancel once you re in your new lane. Pretty sure it didn t do that before...also not sure if I like it or not.

I look down the line a bit and 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐬 𝐄𝐥𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐭𝐬.

In a Twitter thread [Elon confirmed that a couple of weeks ago he was torquing bolts on the Model 3 general assembly line 4 (GA4)](https: twitter.com elonmusk status 1010028341921964032) the famous assembly line inside the growing temporary lightweight tent aluminum structure which line is intended to bridge a Model 3 production bottleneck to reach 5 000 cars week output. I found the background of this short comment by Elon interesting as well it was first reported by a Tesla Motors Club member whose son is a PhD student doing summer work at Tesla [who described a phone call he had with his son about working with Elon Musk on the construction of the GA4 line](https: teslamotorsclub.com tmc threads general-discussion-2018-investor-roundtable.105297 page-575#post-2821288) the following way: &gt My kid has been working the GA4 line. I won t reveal much since I think that s prudent. &gt &gt [...] &gt &gt Got fancy-school post grad quant degree in one year now on way to PhD studies and **stopped off at Tesla for the summer to work with other nerds on Tesla technology**. &gt &gt 3 weeks in he gets a late night text from boss: report to factory tomorrow morning with just map dot coordinates and a phone # (really). Arrives with other nerds and no idea what s up and is handed a voucher to go down the road for a pair of Red Wings. &gt &gt Then returns and is directed into the GA4 tent and shown the line and where to be and what to do. It s very clear that this is all-hands on deck. Anyone who can be spared is here to help. It s hard work possibly the first physical work-for-pay of this sheltered life. &gt &gt On GA4 there s a gallimaufry of backgrounds education and skills all cranking hard. But also a see one do one teach one approach where people are coming in taking over forming the cartilage of the line and teams that become the next shift. &gt &gt I hear these things too: &gt &gt -- Robots don t get sore shoulders. &gt &gt **-- I look down the line a bit and there s Elon torquing bolts.** &gt &gt -- I come in the next morning and engineering has completely reconstructed how a whole section works. It s faster. &gt -- Yes I m now very glad I went to college but I also have a new frame of reference for when I think that is not do-able . This GA4 thing is incredible chaotic and ramping. &gt &gt All I can say in response to this brief phone conv is wow. i m so impressed. experience of a lifetime. you are awesome . Stopped short of you are now my favorite kid! . &gt &gt Sort of wishing it was me 35 years younger. &gt &gt But just proud. In the Twitter thread [Elon confirmed that he was personally working on GA4](https: twitter.com elonmusk status 1010028341921964032): &gt Yeah but I m not sure what the big deal is. I like building things. If that ends up being useful work too even better. Later in the discussion [Elon lists a number of things he has built in the past](https: twitter.com elonmusk status 1010035029726990336): &gt **When I was a kid I built model airplanes trainsets rockets (mixed my own powder) explosives (kinda surprised I still have all fingers) a radio lots of software. Built a primitive MRI machine in college.** Elon truly is a maker and I m sure most of humanity is glad that the childhood experiment with explosives went well! 😉

Keep Climate On for 8 hrs - test results. Also looking for input on camping.

​I m going camping Memorial Day weekend in Northern California for 3 nights. I plan to sleep in my Model 3 and wanted to test battery drain. Here are my results. Overnight temperatures were low to mid-50s (F): Temp | Start SOC | End SOC | Energy Used ------------------------------------------ 69 | 43% | 21% | 22% 60 | 54% | 42% | 12% There is a supercharger about 25 miles 45 minutes from the campsite. I plan to top up as much as I can before I arrive. [abetterrouteplanner](https: abetterrouteplanner.com) calculates I would go from 95% to 86% SOC (there is about 600 ft of elevation). I should be fine for three nights. Estimating 15% per night I would leave with about 40% not counting vampire drain. I should have enough to make it back to the supercharger to top up before heading home. The campsite is car camping and even has RV sites. Sadly the RV sites are all booked so I can t use those. I was thinking of getting [this adapter](https: www.evseadapters.com products tt-30-adapter-for-tesla-model-s-x-3-gen-2) just in case. There may be a place near the bathrooms for me to park where I can plug into a 120. If neither of those pan out I should still have enough to make it to the supercharger on the way home. Regarding sleeping arrangements [this post](https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments 8fo1bn four_you_model_3_car_campers_twin_is_the_correct ) determined that a twin mattress size will fit the 3 nicely. I m looking at 3 products: - [Milliard Tri Folding Mattress](https: www.amazon.com dp B00DJ8HWBU ) ($105) - [Better Habitat SleepReady Memory Foam Floor Mattress](https: www.amazon.com dp B072BJF9FW) ($160) - [Exped MegaMat Duo 10 Self-Inflating Sleeping Pad](https: www.amazon.com dp B077ZGWNKD ) ($370) I m not considering [Dreamcase](https: dreamcase.eu) as it s almost twice the cost of the Exped and not very compact. The Millard is what the reference poster used. It s cheapest but also takes up the most storage space. I m debating between the SleepReady and Exped MegaMat. It s a big price jump between the two. The Exped takes up the least amount of room and reviews are consistently good including comfort. But I question how often I ll be using it and if it s worth the extra expense. The SleepReady may be good enough. For privacy I m probably going to cover the windows with Reflectix as suggested by others ([link](https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments bdpxgx dreamcase_in_a_model_3 el00pns?utm_source=share&amp utm_medium=web2x) [link](https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments bhn5qk how_to_black_out_tesla_in_camping_mode ?utm_source=share&amp utm_medium=web2x) [link](https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments 7ivdpx window_shades_for_camping ?utm_source=share&amp utm_medium=web2x)) Thoughts ideas suggestions?

Lessons from Steve Jobs : This guy inadvertently explains Tesla as well as anyone

I was listening to some biographies about Steve Jobs. Guy Kawasaki was making a point that [ Real entrepreneurs ship ](https: www.youtube.com watch?v=rWv-KoZnpKw&amp feature=youtu.be&amp t=833). This pretty much explains why Tesla s first production is never great. The Model X in particular had big problems but most of the cars have required some big tweaks after first rolling out -- even the Model 3 (e.g. the back seats among a few other things). The Model S was significantly better a couple years after it first rolled out as well. Anyway I thought this guy s explanation explained Tesla s innovative process as well as anyone.

Manufacturing Is The Hard Part

This was one of his discussion points during the Model Y reveal. I think he was purposefully trying to send a message to investors. Look at Faraday look at Rivian look at other EV startups promising the world. They have only done the easy part which was getting drive-able prototypes ready. The actual hard part was creating the factory and production process... and batteries. **Making prototypes is easy mass producing them is hard.** That just stood out to me during the presentation and I think it s a really important consideration for people placing reservations with or people investing in companies that have not yet figured out production.

I agree. I noticed that too. He s exactly right. I m glad I never gave money to Elio Motors or whatever they were called but I was super interested in their $7000 car bike thing that got like 90mpg. But actually manufacturing and delivering a product is completely different than a lab.

Map Common Parking Areas

I have a small single car garage for my Model 3. Every day I park in the driveway and summon the car into the garage. Sometimes the car parks close to the left side or the right side of the garage. Since I have the charger on the drivers side sometimes I have to shimmy up against the wall to plug it in. When the car parks on the right side I have all the walking space I need. &amp #x200B I d love to be able to tell the Model 3 to remember how to park aka... as far right as possible. I don t know how else to accomplish them other than trying to force it to that side by the angle I park in my driveway.

I think most people want this which means Tesla probably already is working on it. Musk recently said that we would soon get a major update to Summon that would allow us to steer our cars from the app. Hopefully programmable parking will be a part of that.

Off Menu $35 000 Model 3 is TREMENDOUS value.

I m seriously considering buying a second Model 3 for my wife. The $35k software-limited SR+ is absolutely insane value. You get the same interior that every Model 3 has (which is gorgeous). You will get power seats and wheels. The battery is software limited which should result in more gentle cycling. Most of the premium features (heated seats satellite maps streaming audio etc.) will very likely be offered as OTA updates in the future. I might have a talk with my parents to see if they are interested too. It s almost too good to pass up. My only concern is hurting Tesla as a company because it s obviously not profitable if they don t want to sell it for that price.

Off Menu AWD Performance - just came back from store and can t decide on an off menu option or the LR AWD...

I went to the local Tesla store today to test drive the Model 3. Was looking at a white exterior black interior long range AWD with 18 wheels. Test drive went great and put down a deposit. Before the drive and again after I was told that there were several new off menu performance AWD Model 3s that are only $2k more ($49 990) than the LR AWD ($47 990). These don t have the full performance package (20 wheels spoiler etc) just a faster 0-60 time and the red line under the badge on the trunk. Only benefit of buying one of these that I can think of is guaranteed delivery in 1 week at a cost of $2k. Can anyone help me figure out if this is worth it? Was thinking of waiting 48 hours to see if I am contacted by Tesla with VIN and if not maybe switching to this one as I would love to have the car within 2 weeks and surprise my kids who are at sleep away camp...

In my (and basically everyone else here) opinion you d be absolutely insane not to get the P3D- if you re already planning on doing the LR. That s only a 4% increase in price for a 3.2 second 0-60.

Phantom Braking Field Test

Having owned a Model 3 for nearly three years now with autopilot and FSD I ve experienced my fair share of ‘phantom braking. Or ‘excessive braking as I prefer to call it since the reason for the braking is almost always obvious. The car is just being overly cautious about something it s not certain about. Whenever the car brakes I always try to check the rear-view mirror to see if anyone is at risk of rear ending me. And in all this time I ve never seen a car behind that was so close as to be a danger. My hypothesis was that Autopilot FSD is smart enough to know when a car is behind us and to not brake to cause a collision. But I haven t had the opportunity to actually test this until today. I have a freeway exit on the way home from work where Autopilot ALWAYS makes an excessively hard brake as it goes through an underpass and into a turn. The shadow of the underpass and upcoming turn causes it to overreact. Today there was an idiot tailgating me as we went into the exit. He was less than a car length off my bumper. I took a deep breath and let my Tesla do its thing. No hard braking! Autopilot actually took the exit turn faster than it ever has before and then ever so gradually slowed its approach to the eventual traffic light. I m totally convinced that Autopilot knew the car was tailgating me knew braking would be dangerous and adjusted its behavior to compensate. FSD does do wonky things and make mistakes (and to a lesser extent so does Autopilot). But I feel they don t get nearly as much credit as they deserve and are generally underestimated by their critics.

Phantom Electricity usage of a Wall Connector versus always plugged in mobile connector

Does anyone have any electricity usage of a hard-wired Wall Connecter and a plugged in (but not used) mobile connector? I am trying to decided which to get installed in my garage (nema 14-50 versus hard-wired wall connector) but I am unsure what the Phantom electricty of either is when wired but not in use. Just trying to be practical vs. green I suppose.

I remember having read an article some time ago that stated the standby power consumption on the mobile connector is very minimal. I can t imagine the HPWC would be any different though. That being said I wouldn t bother with the extra expense of a HPWC. I drive 80-90 miles a day and a NEMA 14-50 is more than sufficient for me. I get my commute back in about 3 hours on 240V 40A which is still faster than I really need. I have dual chargers and have never had a need for them.

I have a service appointment for this next week but curious if anyone has experienced this and what proved to be the solution. \- Front of vehicle rattles under hard acceleration. \- Does not feel dangerous or like the car is going to fall apart or anything...best way to describe it is it sounds like the frunk is partially open or there is something bouncing around in the frunk. But I ve checked both. \- More pronounced at Standard suspension than low \- First began to notice this when the weather turned cold (northeast). I need to test if its still there when the car is fully warmed up from driving. Anyone experience this before?

OP this happened to us on our 2016 Model S 90D. Apparently it s a fairly known issue on TMC forums if you search around. From what I understand if you accelerate while the vehicle is raised (Smart Air Suspension) over time it eventually warps the shafts and they need to be replaced. Once the service center replaced ours it was fixed. However it started to happen again about 6 months later and got progressively worse again. I consider this a design defect in the Model S suspension and it was a factor in us trading ours in for a Model 3 (no Air Suspension) when the warranty expired. &amp #x200B

Reporters taking advantage of someone passing away due to medical reasons at Giga to further an agenda - why wasn t this really discussed here?

I won t name any names or put up any links because the last thing I want to do is give any more publicity to these people. A few days ago someone lost a family member due to a medical incident at Giga and the usual-suspect Tesla-hater reporters all reported on it. To me this is one of the more ugly things I ve seen in the past few years. If it was a normal news outlet or a local news site or random reporters authors reporting it it would be harmless. But when these people write about it I imagine that they feel a tiny-tiny bit of satisfaction. If 95% of the author s publications tweets are about 1 company and almost all of them are negative biased it makes you wonder what their intentions are when they write about someone s passing in this manner. It s amazing how we ve become so accepting of this. These people are malicious and twisted...all because of a company.

Yes it is pathetic. Same as the car fire stories. If a house burned down because of a natural gas leak and the owner had a Tesla in the garage you d be darned sure the headlines would be like Tesla owner s house burned down . Or accidents where a driver did something stupid... Autopilot didn t prevent driver of 2013 Tesla from driving into tree . (There was no Autopilot in 2013. And Autopilot isn t designed to save us from stupid.)

Sentry mode has turned off due to a sentry system error

The Tesla mobile app pushed a Sentry mode has turned off due to a sentry system error notification. First time I ve seen this. Something new with 2020.12.5? https: preview.redd.it rutlwdsd5nr41.png?width=1101&amp format=png&amp auto=webp&amp s=4132c1541a56f646d9d099369d98175061aef6fe Other than the common sometimes-corrupt recordings it s been behaving normally.

Not new - has popped up every now and then especially after the initial release of V10. Can be caused by fs corruption stemming from the car failing to dismount the drive before cutting power and by ap computer crashing.

I guess the way I look at it is we all know it s headed that way. It would only be a matter of time even if the announcement wasn t that. The only way it isn t is if the sensors they use just aren t capable but you have to imagine they would be as that s been their stated destination for ages. Elon has talked about being able to summon a car in California from New York being ready about that time. He might be optimistic but they probably aren t going to crank out a fleet of cars that they know aren t even capable of it just because it isn t ready at the moment. Whatever is the pinnacle of what they re capable of the Model 3 will do at launch and they ll probably make upgrades from there. Or to put it another way I can t imagine any scenario where they figure out autonomous driving and the Model 3 just won t get it for reasons.

Surround View Limited - error 5 times already!

Hello Reddit: I wanted to share my frustration and perhaps some of you can give me a direction on how this should be approached. My wife owns a Model 3 LR RWD. One day on autopilot her TM3 presented the Surround View Limited error. Appointment #1: We immediately made an appointment to take it in to our local service center to get it fixed. They sent out a mobile technician and stated the passenger camera is faulty. They replaced it. Appointment #2: error popped up 1 day later and we made another appointment. They called and stated it could be repaired with an OTA update. Update sent and installed. Appointment #3: error came up again 2 days later and another appointment was made. They called and stated again it would be repaired by an OTA update. Update sent and installed. Appointment #4: error came up yet again 1 day later and we scheduled another appointment and took it in. They stated the SAME passenger fender camera is faulty and they need to replace it. They replaced the camera and returned the vehicle to us. Today on my wife s drive to work the error pops up YET AGAIN. This would be our 5th time to take in the vehicle for the SAME ISSUE. Does anyone have any recommendation on how to proceed at this point? Clearly something beyond the same camera they re replacing is faulty. Thanks for all of your feedback. -Dave

I created a Tasker profile and task to give Android users a quick access screen in the notifications. Pictures are included. I made this a while back and showed it off but never uploaded the Tasker xml. Here it is. Apps required: - [Tasker](https: play.google.com store apps details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm) - [AutoNotification](https: play.google.com store apps details?id=com.joaomgcd.autonotification) - [RESTask](https: play.google.com store apps details?id=com.freehaha.restask) - Tesla app (for the icon) **Features** - notification screen that has quick buttons for opening charging port refresh notification unlock doors and begin charging. - notification posts the current vehicle percentage as the icon on the status bar - also states if the car is plugged in and says range Charging speed kW charge receive and car lock status. Note: you need to generate your own API key and keep it updated. If the task doesn t update it s probably because the API key. If you have a TeslaFi account just go into your settings and grab your current API key and replace it in the RESTask. In the code or in RESTask you ll see where it says API_KEY_GOES_HERE replace that with your API Key. Code: https: pastebin.com d1xTQiTC Edit: screenshot: Tesla Now https: imgur.com a 0UiuviN

Tesla [HW2.0] is fully capable of going point A to B with no driver intervention navigating stop signs cross walks roundabouts etc. But is only limited by current regulations that don t allow for this - Vehicle Virgins new Tesla video. Is this true? Everything I know says it is false.

https: youtu.be sP4TWJbGKpI?t=2m20s They claim that the HW2.0 system is currently capable of full self driving but is only limited by current regulations. My understanding is that it is both limited by current regulations AND the fact that it has not been developed yet! The demo videos were DEMOS and do not indicate they have a release any time soon for FSD or even enhanced autopilot yet this video seems to make it seem like FSD is already sitting in our cars hard drives! Any truth? Or just bullshit?

Tesla inspired Utah bill (in legislative process) would conditionally waives property req. for certain dealerships.

[Reporter Lee Davidson from Salt Lake Tribune notes](http: www.sltrib.com home 4859566-155 tesla-inspired-bill-to-waive-property-requirement)^1 Utah bill [[(2017) HB0018]](http: le.utah.gov ~2017 bills hbillint HB0018.pdf)^2 (sponsored by Rep. Kim Coleman(chief) and also sponsored by state senator Wayne A Harper) waives onerous property prereq. for car dealerships is working way through legislative process (passed House 73:0 awaiting Senate vote). Assuming article is accurate and that I m reading it correctly the bill ( 17 HB18) allegedly gives option provided all other reqs met of provisional permit prior to finalizing property purchase followed by a non-provisional permit once property reqs are satisfied. How does this (positively and or negatively) impact Tesla? Would the new law possibly undermine Tesla s Utah lawsuit by granting provisional sales license (3 mo. w opt. 1x 3 mo. extension) if Tesla s case happens to be based on Utah gov. denying Tesla a sales license (was it?)

So I read the article and it sounds like this bill will do nothing for Tesla. This bill removes the requirement for land to be purchased before a dealership is approved but that is not the reason Tesla was denied a dealership licence (Tesla in fact paid $3 million to purchase construct their dealership in Salt Lake City). This law does nothing to address the requirement of a third-party dealer which is the real hang up. Whether or not their solution of a Tesla-owned Tesla Utah co. is compliant with the existing laws or not is currently up to the Utah supreme court. Fingers crossed! http: www.sltrib.com home 4556426-155 tesla-asks-utah-supreme-court-to

Tesla selling off loaner fleet - says service adviser

While dropping off my model S at the Palo Alto service center yesterday my service adviser explained that they were able to find a loaner car for me but it s from enterprise rentals . Whatever I thought at least I can drive around while my car is there. As we walked outside to the loaner after signing the rental paperwork (no cost to me just signing my life away y know) he handed me a Tesla FOB and said it s the silver model S right over there... I was surprised as I was expecting an ICE econobox or something. He explained that Enterprise has begun renting out model S cars and they will be getting more because we are selling off all of our loaner inventory and going exclusively with Enterprise for loaners &amp #x200B This was news to me but explains why the used CPO inventory is pretty full right now. &amp #x200B Has anyone else heard corroborating stories to back this up?

Tesla ownership feedback and issues

bcob51

That s how winners play. We re convincing the other guys that he s making all the right moves.

Disclosure: Long 500+ Shares of PAIN...sorry...I meant to say Long 500+ Shares of TSLA. One thing that I ve noticed over the past 7 years of being a Tesla shareholder is that many people betting against the company see everything as a validation of their short thesis and a clear sign of victory. Not a day goes by where someone isn t claiming victory. And I m not just talking about the Twitter trolls and Reddit trolls...the big guys do this all the time. - Jim Chanos a guy with billions behind him that literally hides behind an anonymous Twitter account trolls along with every little thing that appears to back up his assumptions. - Other big shorts are paying people to monitor Tesla car lots actually paying them to trespass and look at VIN numbers or paying them to fly over in planes to take pictures just to push their narratives claiming victory. Before going further I do want to point out that longs are guilty of this as well...specifically those who thought profitability was total victory. Wrong. You got lazy. Victory defeated you. That was just the end of the beginning. Tesla shareholders live in hell...hell isn t going anywhere. Hell is here to stay. Now...why are shorts celebrating victory at $267 a share? Seems a little bit naive and premature. - TSLA hasn t moved from where it was 5 years ago - so you re saying you haven t made money eh? - The wheels are falling off - are they though? And I know this has it s double meaning in short-land...but I thought it was supposed to be battery fires...guess those didn t materialize as they had hoped... - Demand is gone - is it? - Competition is coming - is $80k+ for 200 miles of range actually considered competition? - Elon is desperate - are you sure? Desperate is filling your letter to your stakeholders with an emotion-filled rant about Tesla. I m challenged to find big long shareholders with billions behind them who are this emotional and go out of there way to share their opinion-based emotional analysis. Now...back to the title of this post... * That s how winners play. We re convincing the other guys that he s making all the right moves. * My observation is that the shorts have been so tunnel-visioned on moving the goals posts over the past 7 years that they don t realize where they are anymore. Elon Musk has been quite honest with longs - this shit is tough crazy and is literally hell . But here we are with the shorts celebrating everything as a win. For some reason the shorts are convinced that they are making all the right moves. Their weakness you might ask? They forgot to look around and realize that they are now in hell too a long ways away from where they started. Hell is Elon Musk s home turf. This man has been in hell since he was a child. He has been in company-hell since 1999. Hell has forged him. Einhorn? Chanos? The others shorts? They re just tourists... Welcome to Hell. You haven t won a dam thing yet.

The infrastructure for EVs just isn t there I just found out that the number of Supercharger locations nearly trippled since I first reserved my Model 3

[Have a look at the charts at Supercharge.info](https: supercharge.info charts). Sure it can be fair to say that the charging infrastructure has to go even further. But at this rate that time seems to be approaching faster than even a Tesla fan like myself realized. Add on top of this the ability to charge from my garage and at least for me I don t really need any more charging access even though I live in rural MN. I would certainly *like* more Superchargers but we re already at a point where more will simply make life more convenient for longer trips. As of now I have all the charging I *need* for long trips.

Twas the night before Christmas

and all through the house all the electrons were stirring at about 10 000 gauss.                The chargers were hung on the garage wall with care in hopes that Musk soon would be there. The fathers were nestled all snug in their jeans while visions of youtube danced on their screens. And Mama in the passenger seat and I in the back had just settled our brains for a lap on the track. When out on the road there arose such a clatter I sprang up in my seat to see what was the matter. Outside of the window I saw a large flash I lift myself up to look over the dash. Our headlights shining on the pavement ahead automatically gave way to an oncoming moped when what to my wondering eyes should reveal but a Cybertruck made completely of steel.  With an entrepreneurial driver just rollin in dough I knew in a moment it must be Tesla s CEO. More rapid than Tycans his Teslas they came and he whistled and shouted and called them by name: Model S Model 3 Model X Model Y The Roadster  The Cybertruck  And even a Semi To the racetrack we go A 16 mile haul Now launch away! Launch away! Launch away all! As electrons are freed from a redox reaction they meet a complete circuit and spring into action so off of the line the Cybertruck flew with a Cyberquad and Elon too. Our S lunged forward into the first turn overtaking the truck my father grew stern as I drew in my head and was turning around the Cybertruck flew past us without making a sound. It s full of sharp angles from the front to the back and the drivers side windows were adorned with a crack. The headlights a single bar!? The side mirrors were missing!? A stainless steel exoskeleton all the haters were dissing. The mouth of the driver drawn up in a smile as he flew ahead nearly gaining a mile. With our car achieving ludacris speeds we caught up to the Cybertruck with relative ease. The roach of a blunt Elon held tight in his teeth the smoke encircled his head like a wreath. A wink of his eye and a twist of his head soon made me realize I had something to dread. He spoke not a word but went straight for the kill lunged into our car spinning us off like a windmill.  Crossing the line to his team gave a whistle and away they all sped like a Falcon 9 missile. But I heard him exclaim as he drove by Merry Christmas to all except that pedo guy!

TL DR It is both sad and frustrating to live in a US state that have protectionist laws defending the existing auto dealership sales model I m a Tesla owner living in Virginia. In fact during the first referral program last year I was the North American leader with 96 referrals. However following the first two referral programs due to the interpretation of the rogue salesperson laws here Virginia the state government has forced Tesla to exclude me and other Virginian from getting prizes including during the current referral program. I don t blame Tesla rather I blame the knuckleheads at Virginia DMV protecting the VADA (Virginia Automobile Dealers Association) from the Tesla direct sales model. During this referral period I have deflected as many as I could to friends who are Tesla owners in DC and MD. Even still I have thus far generated seven on my own referral code. Will I get the tote jacket special Arachnid wheel set with summer tires or seven chances at an XP100DL? No. Am I upset about that yes ... angry towards Richmond. So I want to let my state gov t full of pinheads know is that even without awards I am happy to continue referring people to buying the best car on the road today ... Tesla!

That is disgusting. Write your representatives constantly. That interpretation of the rogue salesperson statutes is all kinds of wrong. If you or another Tesla enthusiast is a lawyer I d sue and appeal up the chain.

What is that about? Edit for context: Elon Musk said it during the conference call for Q2 and it created a long silence. It was weird. Just me? Second edit: Again! Elon told Goldman Sachs that there are thing they don t know about when talking about capital expenditure. Third edit: Elon is drinking an iced coffee during the call.

Elon Musk Tesla Controversy

Yeah but you need coal for electricity and that s even more detrimental to the environment.

That s what my bro said to me during a post-thanksgiving conversation. He showed me a video of the new transmission-less koenigsegg then I showed him a video of a p85d vs some Australian car vs a very expensive car in a quarter mile run with Tesla winning. When he said that I was frustrated because I know that other people know things more than I do and my gut feeling is he s not right then my dad chimed in and told him that you can produce electricity in many other ways and I felt good because I wasn t sure. But still people say that. Any ICE car to me now is just meh.

What most people aren t aware of is that a ton of electricity is used to extract and refine oil into gasoline. Enough that a gas powered car of the same size burns nearly as much coal per mile as an electric plus all that additional pollution from you know burning gas. This is a good video to explain it. http: youtu.be BQpX-9OyEr4 In the video he estimated 4.5 kWh of electricity used per gallon of gas refined. This would mean an ICE getting 15mpg uses the same amount of electricity as a Model S.

r technology just had a conniption in regards to Tesla Banning Autopilot for Ride Sharing.

https: www.reddit.com r technology comments 58goi0 tesla_bans_customers_from_using_autonomous_cars Some people seem to think that they can not drive for Lyft or Uber using a fully autonomous Tesla. My understanding is that as long as you are in the drivers seat you can do what ever you want with the car including being an active driver for a ride sharing service. Which of course makes sense as you own the car. What they are disallowing is the owner sending the car to pick up PAX while they sit at home. I honestly don t think it would even be possible or at a minimum very difficult to do successful. I used to drive for LYFT before I changed cars and my current car is to old. But considering both LYFT and UBER are both smartphone apps and those services track phone not car location I m not sure it would even be possible to even pick up a passenger much less complete a ride. The Tesla Network but comparison would function entirely differently tracking vehicle location and sending ride requests directly to the car not to the owners smartphone.

r teslamotors Voting

One of the things that I d like to see changed in this sub is an improvement of voting for discussion over opinion. I think the amount and variety of content could be drastically improved if people here weren t downvoted or notvoted by people who disagree. I was reminded of this just now. I opened my favorite sub r teslamotors and sorted by new as I do multiple times per day. One of the new threads is about using the car s battery to back-up the house s power. It has been asked before but there s definitely conversation. As of this writing it had 11 comments but ZERO upvotes which reminded me of some of my submissions and many others I ve seen. I read the sub s rules again which pointed me to read Reddiquette again finding: &gt Vote. If you think something contributes to conversation upvote it. If you think it does not contribute to the subreddit it is posted in or is off-topic in a particular community downvote it. So many times I see people posting their orders or deliveries getting massive upvotes. I ll admit to doing it too. I want to show support and congratulations to other Tesla lovers but realize those posts don t really contribute to the conversation. But then I see questions or comments that are clearly spurring new conversation but get zero votes or are downvoted because of the opinion expressed. I d love to see that change so we can get some more encouragement for posters and diversity of thought and discussion. Perhaps the mods can reinforce something directly in the rules or a sticky to encourage upvoting. At the very least if you comment on a thread upvote! UPVOTE = = AGREE Edit: two words

r teslamotors update

Hey r teslamotors You ve probably noticed some erratic changes lately and for that we apologize. The sub was innundated with content that was either a repost a rule violation or some combination of both. We found ourselves evaluating and deleting most of the new posts because of those items and while we were doing that it was harder to keep an eye on the other things that mods are supposed to. We turned on Automod and had it flag everything for removal then we manually approved only those posts that should be allowed according to our rules. We braced for a lot of community backlash but the comments we got were all extremely positive. All the posts showing up in new had a lot of upvotes so the content we were approving was very popular. When we d let through a post that didn t follow the rules it didn t get upvotes. The down side to us is that it was no longer what we envisioned for the sub. We re a community of fairly strict rules but it still needs to be an open community. We turned Automod off on the morning of October 2nd. We immediately received a lot of feedback asking us to turn approval back on but we didn t want the sub to work that way. Turning off Automod: That s when things went right back from great to terrible. Reposts. Screenshots. I Bought a Car photos. Several hundred smart summon videos. Everyone likes a good photo post but nobody likes three hundred of them at a time. Image posts are a lot of fun for some people but they are also by far the number one source of rule violations and often the comments can get out of hand too. That s when we tried another experiment. We turned off links to try to get people to talk discuss and interact more. It did not turn out as well as we thought it would at all. As u 110110 said “I feel like the sub had a leg cut off.” We ve turned link posts back on but we ve decided to keep image posts turned off. If you have a picture you d really like to discuss you can link to it in the body of a text post along with an explanation of the picture and your own questions or opinions about it. We will be keeping an eye out for spammy or reposty Youtube links. We re a little torn on those because while some of them can be informative or clever a lot of them are just rehashing the same facts over and over in order to monetize a channel. We will will turn approval back on when the sub has an event big update or high volume of posts. Your mod team spends a lot of time deliberating the right changes to make. Sometimes they re good. Sometimes they aren t but please know that we re working hard to make this sub the very best place it can be. We hope you enjoy it and please be nice to each other. Mods r teslamotors

Does the following excerpt from the current proposal (as of Nov. 15) mean that Tesla is or is not included in the rebate? From the Proposal: Under §114.610(2) the term sell in this state as applies to new vehicles would mean where the manufacturer intends for the vehicle to be available to a purchaser in Texas...These definitions are utilized to define the eligible sale of a new light-duty vehicle in the state to include vehicles that may be purchased from a seller outside of Texas but are issued first title in the state of Texas.

$1 500 for NEMA 14-30 line - yikes!

I live in the Seattle WA area and I have sourced several bids for my NEMA 14-30 line (went with the 30A circuit instead of 50A due to only having 100A on my main breaker). Since it s a condo in a quadplex with a shared yard and carport I am running part of the line conduit through a trench outside. ~$1 500 is the best quote I have gotten out of 5. Is this typical for others in the area? It s about a 40-foot run and half of that is underground (trench will be dug by me). Side note: if anyone knows a licensed electrician in the area who will do it for a reasonable price please refer them to me!

$1.7 billion in Federal Credit to help sell Model 3

Based on my quick calculation. If Tesla reaches 200k US sale by July 2018 this year and Model 3 US production level continues at the same 5000 vehicles per week for all 26 weeks = 130 000 vehicles = almost $1 billion in Federal credit. This means a total of $1.7 billion before Federal credit runs out f they maintain the same output sale to US of 5000 week (total production is probably more when added in other countries) until the end of 2019. Nice free promotion courtesy of our great government. Glad to see my tax dollars finally put to good use. Year Quarters Model 3 Federal Credit Total 2018 July - Dec 130 000 $7 500 $975 000 000 2019 Jan - Jun 130 000 $3 750 $487 500 000 2019 July - Dec 130 000 $1 875 $243 750 000 $1 706 250 000

$1000 reservation deposit not relevant

&gt Due to the high volume of Model 3 production there is no longer a need to reserve these vehicles therefore priority is solely based on when an order is placed.   &gt Pasted from an email from Tesla customer service. I accidentally configured and ordered a Model 3 separate from my original reservation that I made a year ago. I didn t discover this until after placing the order ($2500) and noticing there was no $1000 credited to purchase price. I contacted CS to explain and they advised me to simply keep the order that I placed and ask for the refund of my $1000 in my other reservation. (I unknowingly had started a 2nd reservation and placed my order from that 2nd res). I always thought the initial paid reservations had some sort of priority status over orders made after the time that a reservation deposit was not mandatory. Apparently not according to the Customer Service rep. Why wouldn t everyone demand their $1k deposit back? LR AWD white on white 18 PUP EAP FSD.

If you want SR or live in another country your reservation date is likely still relevant. I bet they ll use it to sequence orders of equal value. At a high level the large volume of orders is what allowed us to get volume Model3 manufacturing in 2018 instead of 2020 (as was originally planned). They greatly accelerated the plan with such high demonstrated demand.

$22k on used 2013 Model S 85

Found a good looking 2013 Model S 85 for $22k at our local Craigslist. I haven t looked at the car yet but I m very interested in it. What are your thoughts on the car s age in comparison to 2019 tech? What should I be on the look out for? As far as I know I ll be missing faster super charging Newer Auto Pilot hardware. Because the computer in the car is older will I have a laggier experience? Does it still get newer software updates so it doesn t have that old iOS looking interface?

I had a 2013 Model S I sold in 2017. It was incredibly expensive to fix. I had air bubbles start to appear on the center screen the doors in the front automatically opened when I put the car in park and had the drive train replaced due to humming. All this would have been over $10k to fix. How many miles are on the Model S? MCU and flash are outdated chances are the car might still be using 3G as well. Initial cost might be cheap but repair cost would be like an $80k car.

Tesla Model 3 Review

$250 kWh for utility scale batteries and what it means

[Elon Musk said on his twitter that grid level battery would cost: $250 kWh for utility scale ](https: twitter.com elonmusk status 594186544174366720) Ok but what does this mean in regards to the rest of the industry. Lead Acid Batteries (like car batteries) are about $500 kWh. There are other companies that are working on improved battery tech like Aquion Energy Inc. and they are around $350 kWh. THey are making a battery based on manganese oxide and shows real promise. Here is a snippet from a [GigaOm article](https: gigaom.com 2014 07 20 behind-the-scenes-of-aquion-energys-battery-factory-the-future-of-solar-storage ) about them &gt Aquion is now selling its first battery stack product the S-10 for $850 per stack (2 kWh each). Seven or eight battery units make up a stack. Twelve stacks make up a module which runs for around $11 000. At those prices out of the gate Aquion is selling its batteries for below $500 per kWh — on par with lead acid batteries but they last longer without degrading and are guaranteed for at least 3 000 cycles. If the batteries are charged and discharged say once a day they should last for more than eight years. &gt Those prices are just the beginning. Aquion s goal is to drop its prices below $350 per kWh by the end of 2015 and to make them progressively cheaper after that getting the cost under $200 per kWh by 2020. So Tesla just undercutted the previous state of the art grid level battery tech prices by almost 30% (28.6%) using lithium tech. And the price may go down further when the gigafactory gets into full swing. If these grid level prices hold for Tesla then its not just talk not just vaporware no this is a huge shift in grid control and energy production. Wind farms and solar plants main issue is they have to compete with cheap natural gas which can run 24 7. If the high wind times of your area doesn t match up with the high load times then it puts stress on the grid. Grid Level battery tech existed for quite some time but has always been just too expensive to add to the capital cost of building new wind or solar plants. This price drop may just be enough for companies building new green energy production to add in these batteries so they can more easily compete with natural gas when selling to utilities - and utilities will be more likely to stop dragging their feet when it comes to renewable energy as their main issue other than cost has been production reliability.

EV Tax Credit Impact

$30 month electricity cost: driving and free charging data for two Model 3s

We re very fortunate here in northern California to have a lot of free charging options. Both my girlfriend and I have free work charging available lots of shopping centers around etc. I was curious what my yearly cost would be for home electricity and since I started using Teslafi in early March of last year I was finally able to run the numbers. Using Teslafi I looked at the data from my car driving last year from March 2 2019 to March 2 2020 and my GF s 3 from the end of June until now. I also kept track during the same time period of any free charging in a note on my phone. [I drove 19591.42 miles using 5363.6 kWh ](https: i.imgur.com WYSW0Ht.jpg)(total added 7081.21 kWh) in my AWD non-performance. 2689.42 kWh was from supercharging (85 charges at 68 different superchargers). For that same time period the car added 2770.48 kWh from free charging. We paid for 1621.31 kWh at home throughout the year electricity is roughly 10¢ kWh so it cost $162.13. That s $13.51 a month in extra electricity driving 20k miles per year. My GF s SR+ we picked up at the end of June last year. [It s been driven 3773.87 miles using 1087.92 kWh](https: i.imgur.com bUJBY2V.jpg) (total added 2182.35 kWh). For that same time period the car added 930.03 kWh from free charging 63.26 kWh in supercharging. We paid for 1189.06 kWh (lots of summon drain and battery conditioning I guess) or roughly $119 over 8 months. $15 in extra electricity per month. TL DR: Thanks to lots of free charging two Model 3s costs us about $30 a month in electricity at home.

$33.35 50AMP Wiring project for Tesla Model X (with Links) 20 simple steps

Picked up my Model X and when I got home the best I had was 20AMP 110V service in the garage so I needed to add a 50A 240V plug. I m not an electrician but do enough myself that I thought I would share links and the ease of installation. Can add step by step images by popular request. Do at your own risk and familiarize yourself with your local laws before you do this. You essentially need 3 things: * Circuit Breaker * 50AMP NEMA 14-50 Plug * 6 3 + Ground Wire to connect the two I was lucky enough that my breaker panel is in my garage and exactly where I wanted my plug. You may not be this lucky but the only real difference is going to be running longer cable. Home depot had all the parts I needed in stock and fairly low cost. * [Breaker - $8.53](http: www.homedepot.com p Square-D-Homeline-50-Amp-2-Pole-Circuit-Breaker-HOM250CP 202353323) * [6 3 + Ground Wire 5 foot - $12.85](http: www.homedepot.com p Southwire-6-3-Black-Stranded-CU-SIMpull-NM-B-W-G-Wire-63950099 204632777) AND EITHER * This [NEMA 14-50 outlet with surface mount box - $11.97](http: www.homedepot.com p Legrand-Pass-Seymour-50-Amp-125-250-Volt-NEMA-14-50R-Surface-Mount-Power-Outlet-Black-3854CC6 100576531) OR THESE 3 Items for $18.75 (might be cheaper locally) * [This NEMA 14-50 receptacle](https: www.amazon.com Leviton-279-Receptacle-Industrial-Grounding dp B00009W3AA) * [Face Plate](https: www.amazon.com Leviton-80526-BLK-2-15-Inch-Receptacle-Wallplate dp B000U39XS2 ref=sr_1_3?s=hi&amp ie=UTF8&amp qid=1500064522&amp sr=1-3&amp keywords=2.15-Inch+Diameter) * [Surface Mount Box](https: www.amazon.com 52171-4E-Pre-Galvanized-Eccentric-Knockouts dp B000HEFCKC ref=pd_sim_60_6?_encoding=UTF8&amp psc=1&amp refRID=R0G961518K9B6GR1YFXM) Installation was super easy but don t try this unless you are comfortable. Make sure you know your local laws about installing electrical yourself. 1. Make sure your panel has two open spots for the breaker 2. Cut main power! - **Warning top of panel will still have HIGH VOLTAGE active lines exposed** 4. Remove front of breaker panel (typically 6-8 screws in the sides) 5. Punch out the metal on the front panel so the breaker can fill in the hole 6. Punch hole or reuse existing hole in the side of the breaker panel for wire to travel through the wall 7. Drill hole in wall for the wire to enter Surface mount box (near stud) - mine was 1 foot below my panel on a stud 1. Plan ahead cut wires appropriately for the next two steps don t bundle extra wire in the panel 1. Connect Red and Black wire to 50AMP Breaker (before installation of breaker) 1. Connect White to Neutral (side bar in panel typically on right side) 1. Connect Green or Bare Ground wire to Ground (side bar in panel typically on left side) 1. Install breaker in panel carefully organize wires 1. Run wire from panel to wall hole you drilled 1. expose wires and install on surface mount plug. 1. Black and Red to Copper 1. Neutral (White) to Silver 1. Ground to Green 1. Mount outlet to stud 1. Close up outlet and panel 1. Restore power 1. Charge at 40A 240V (25 miles hr) I hope you find this helpful! EDIT - Typo EDIT2 - Fixed steps EDIT3 - Several people have issue with the initial receptacle due to their perception that it is low quality unless you buy $50.00 Nylon plugs listed as industrial. I ve updated to include a nylon 10 year warranted industrial receptacle to appease the masses. =(

All Model S cars manufactured after late September 2014 have AutoPilot hardware installed. After making AutoPilot convenience features a stand-alone option on Model S purchases this spring for $2500 it looks like they are allowing people to turn it on later for $3000. This is done much in the same way people could buy the lifetime Supercharging later on with the S60 as well. If you skip on the AutoPilot features at purchase-time you can add it later. All AutoPilot hardware safety features (collision detection mitigation etc) are included in the purchase of the car but TACC and future lane-keeping assist etc are only part of the AutoPilot Convenience package ($2500 at purchase-time $3000 if you elect to get it turned on later).

Tesla Autopilot Performance Review

b2nujs

$4 000 difference between Model Y and 3 variants but Performance Y is only a $2 000 difference vs. the Performance 3.

This is before the price increase due later tonight. Tesla maybe incentivizing people to order the Performance version. Also $60 000 (in 2020-2021 dollars) for a 0-60mph in 3.5 seconds midsize SUV is an amazing value. I m curious who is locking in these prices via the pre-orders ahead of the price increase.

$48 alternative to DreamCase from Costco

Shout out to u allmychoicesarewrong for suggesting this here https: reddit.com r teslamotors comments beew3h just_bought_this_mattress_for_my_model_x_way Here s an album showing how well it fits in a Model 3: https: imgur.com a NtXPFgI It is currently on sale in store and online for $47.99 goes up to $59.99 after April 20. When rolled up it is 39 wide and about 10 in diameter and fits perfectly in the trunk pushed up against the back seats. There s enough friction from the sides of the trunk that it won t move around. When unrolled it is a 2 thick memory foam mattress with removable cover that fits perfectly with the rear seats folded. In the pics here I did not remove the bottom cushion of the rear seats so it s not totally flat. Rolling it back up was easy. It comes with a couple cinch straps to make it easy to get down to a reasonable size and the bag is expandable like some suitcases to make it easy to get back in the bag and then you can zip up the expandable bit to get it back down to size. https: www.costco.com Novaform-Roll-Out-Memory-Foam-Lounger.product.100473629.html Also pictured is the WeatherTech trim-to-fit rear cargo mat available at Costco for $29.99. I m less excited about that.... Not a perfect fit but it was cheap. I d like something that also protects the rear side of the seat backs when they are folded down. I ve seen a set on Amazon that includes mats for the seat backs but they seem more like delicate pads than sturdy weatherproof mats.

OMG. I just bought this yesterday. Wifey didn t want me to spend any more money on the Model 3 the 20% off sale ($12 off $60) ending on 4 20 made me convince her to buy it out to try given Costco s generous return policy. Just showed her this thread to get further approval on her agreement :D :D

$5000 refund check PUP P3D- now eligible

In case anyone missed this like I did. It appears that the p3d- has had a bit of a turn around from the original messages sent. A friend and I both got replies now saying that they would be sending us checks out for exchange of supercharging. Sorry if this had already been posted but I didn t see it mentioned anywhere and just didn t want people to miss out if they had given up like I did based on earlier replies. It s unfortunate I have to give up free supercharging when that was part of the referral program and unrelated but honestly the math works out to get the check for me and they didn t have to offer it at all. Hope it helps someone!

$5k MCU2 HW3 Upgrade (MX) (Help!)

https: imgur.com gallery ko0E4z1 Hey everyone so I m not sure if you guys remember but about a month ago i made a post in regards to Tesla charging me a $2700 fee (On top of the $2500$) for my MCU2 Upgrade...SO I THOUGHT. I made an appointment June 27th and My service was scheduled for July 16th. They called me on the 15th saying they didn t have the parts for the HW3 Upgrade so they pushed my appointment to July 29th(Tomorrow). I didn t think much of it at the time of scheduling (June 27th) because maybe it was a mistake on their end. Fast forward to today i called the SC to make sure they had my parts and they said they did! I then proceeded to ask about the extra $2700 charge they put on my invoice (which i thought was MCU 2 Related) but come to find out its a charge for the HW3 Upgrade!! I have full self driving and if I m not mistaken HW3 Upgrade should be complimentary. On my invoice it says the Retrofit is free but i still have to pay for the parts? I ve never seen this happen to anyone on this Sub or on TMC.com. I didn t really argue with the guy on the phone cause there was no point but I m definitelyely going to see whats up tomorrow in person cause this is very confusing. If anyone has any background experience with this or tips on what i should do please lmk. Thanks!

$7 500 per vehicle?

Just placed my order for the Model S P100D and surprise wife wants a Model X now. I understand how the $7 500 credit works and i have plenty of liability just wanted to confirm there isn t some kind of restriction on taking two credits. It s $7 500 per vehicle based on the year it s delivered correct?

$70 000 -&gt $35 000 S -&gt III What will we lose ?

After years of wanting a Model S I am seriously considering reserving a Model 3 in March. A Model S 70 is $70 000 and Tesla have stated the Model III will be $35 00. Lets assume that $35k is for rear wheel drive lowest performance and range (like the 70). Taking a Model S 70 as a starting point for this discussion: * All Aluminium Large Sedan * 70kWh Battery * Flush mounted door handles * Power folding heated side mirrors with memory * Twelve way power adjustable heated front seats with memory * Xenon headlights with automatic on off * 17 Screen **What can they change to make it cheaper? ** Ignore the upgrades etc. I want to see what people think they will do to change $70k to $35k? I am sure the model III will be able to be upgraded with to AP AWB Ludicrous etc.

*Only speculation eh!* **Edit**: This is a good discussion post rare do we see those upvote for more discussion. 1. Aluminium -&gt Steel. 2. Heated seats -&gt Option with subzero package. **Edit** Many say it would be included. Most likely will be the case. Usefull for people in the south? Dont think so. 3. 70kwh battery does not change imo. (Better battery density over 2 years.) **Edit** Alright say 50kwh battery for base model with 200miles and 70kwh for higher end with 275-300k miles. Legit? 4. Flush mounted door handles is standard. 5. More plastic and textile in the interior. 6. Smaller wheels. 7. I predict it will be a coupe with 0.21-0.23 drag coe. 8. 20% small body size (we know this). 9. *Supercharger will NOT be included* 1k-2k option. In the start at least. **Edit** many say it will be included doubt this. 10. Smaller motors tho. Ludicrous available on high end M3. 11. 0-60: lower end model -&gt Locked at 5.5s. High end model -&gt 3.5s max. 12. Top speed remain the same tho. 13. Autopilot equipped in ALL cars with 1k-2k activation fee. **edited in list** 14. Heated door handles for subzero weather package? **edited in list** 15. 2 door coupe version comming a year after original release? **edited in list** 16. Speculated Model Y comming at the same time? **edited in list** 17. New center console mayby? Freakin cup holders? **edited in list** Feel free to add things! **Final edit** : Thank you all for participating in this very constructive discussions. It was super fun! :)

$7500 US Tax Credit

Does anyone know how the tax credit works if you are due a refund? I ve been refunded by the gov every year I ve been working so I m curious if I get another refund would that tax credit be lost or would they add the $7500 to my refund check?

_drew_p_

2016-12-20 04:40:59

dbetuvu

It would add to your refund check. As long as you had a $7500 or greater liability in federal taxes you can get the credit in the form of a refund. It s just if you did not owe at least $7500 in total taxes (e.g. You make less than ~30-40k are a trust fund baby or already had a massive number of deductions this year) you won t get more than you owed in credits. (P.S. i know this isn t r personalfinance but if you consistently get refunds you should probably consider adjusting your tax withholdings or exemptions instead of giving the government an interest free loan...)

$8k price drop

I own a model 3 AWD with auto pilot. I took delivery late September. Total price was $58k. Just played with configuration today and the same model is only $50k. I know there was price decrease to offset the rebate. (About $3500) but this is now an $8000 difference plus you still get a $3750 rebate. Seems like a crazy price drop. With 20% margin this alone cuts there profit in this model 69%. At this price why won t people get this car I mean standard range is 35k but what you get for $50k is amazing with this price decrease.

Not so fast... did you compare the $5k EAP with $3k Autopilot? Did you calculate all the taxes again and delivery cost and other tire fees? The differences could be actually somewhere around 2500++ which is still a loss but not as exaggerated. If someone wants to do the math I would like to know too.

I predict the stock will end exactly as it started today with very little movement between morning and end of day and an especially low volume of trades. Probably be the same tomorrow in fact.

Redditors I would like to apologize for my doubting. I never believed that Tesla could make it. I thought for sure their losses would get to them but it appears that I was wrong. I am sorry. Based upon last quarter s performance and their increasing revenue and ability to float their payables to suppliers I can now see that Tesla will survive to fight for many more days. As they survive longer and longer it also appears that people will be more likely to lend them the capital they need to continue to grow. I used to be certain that they would be bankrupt soon but now I can see that this is not the case. It is rare to see an apology here but I m writing one. I am sorry that I have doubted that Tesla would survive.
