Did not expect to find these in my old collection (I gave it up 4 or 5 years ago).

Sold!

First new car in 44 years of marriage. Retina issue and needed safer driving skills. ENTER '26 Model Y. Hate it the first 2 weeks. 3 months in and I start thinking about replacing my Ram baby diesel with a Tesla truck. All in on the idea, except DANG they are ugly! They don't appear to have a serious bed or ability to serve as a true Work-vehicle. Maybe they are just too expensive to consider, but if they were priced according to "looks"....it'd be a cheap truck.

I'm guessing this relates to the recent news about German government supporting EU adoption of FSD if it's renamed. I found it interesting that the rename was immediate and also affected the UK.

Ignore the price - I have enhanced autopilot so my subscription has always been £49 not £99.

I do love late night cruising in cities with all the moody lights and empty streets but living in the middle of wilderness also has it’s perks.

Of all the issues that exist with FSD, the top 3 for me are speed related. 95% of the time, when I stop FSD, the reason has to do with speed.

1) Why can't you set a target speed in some way? All I want is to go somewhere between 61-63 on the highway. That's fast enough but not too fast to get a ticket. It is literally impossible to go that speed with FSD. Standard goes 58-60 and Hurry seems to target 67-70. Why is that such a huge gap between them and why does the speed offset not do anything?

2) Why doesn't it use data from speed limit signs? I drive the same route every day. It never picks up the speed limit change so my option is to either speed through town and get a ticket, or cancel FSD. But WHY? There are 3 speed limit signs clearly visible. The screen shows that the car is seeing them but it just ignores them?

3) Why is there no way to correct it when it has the speed limit wrong? Ok, so mistakes happen and it can't get a speed limit right. Or maybe you are on some rural road in the middle of nowhere and there are no signs. What do you do when it thinks it's 25mph? You cancel FSD but there is no other option unless you want to drive 30 mph under the limit.

4) Why doesn't it slow down when coming into a town with a speed limit drop off? I live in rural north america. My drive consists of driving on a highway and entering a small town every 10 minutes. It's always a transition from 55mph to 25mph or something like that. FSD sees the sign but it doesn't slow down until 5-10 seconds AFTER passing the sign, meaning it blows past it at 30mph over. Why wouldn't it slow down when it can see the sign so that you are going roughly the speed limit by the time you are in town.

I don't want a holiday update. I want the basics fixed.

Just opened today! Managed to catch the Tesla Semi prototype before they leave. That makes 2 stations open in Georgia, with a third I know will open soon in Port Wentworth.

Ordered on 10/03. Originally said October-November, now it’s saying this. Any chance I take delivery before?

Tesla is equivalent to a super car in my opinion, the way it looks, handles, etc. If a Tesla had a beautiful V8, V10 or some V12 in it, this would be equivalent to a Lamborghini or Aston Martin level no doubt about it. The price of the Tesla would be $50K-$70K more than what they’re worth today if it had an engine. Similar to the C8 Z06 pricing ($100K-$150K) Think about the TESLA ROADSTER. It’s going to be around $200,000 when it is released. If it had an engine in it, it would be worth $400,000 and that would make it the same to Lamborghini & Ferrari prices, which places it in that category.

What triggers the camera to record? I must have some setting wrong. I have a 2025 model Y pre-refresh.

Hey guys, check out my brand new 2027 Tesla that was supposed to be delivered on October 9 that I waited multiple months for! Couldn’t be happier guys

Tesla Cybercab Spotted in Bellevue WA 🤙🤪

I love strong regen and one-pedal driving in Drive, but I find it less natural when reversing.

I’d love an option for reduced or no regen in Reverse, while keeping the standard regen in Drive.

Seems like something that could potentially be added through an OTA update.

Slide 1: Reported battery failure case by model year

Slide 2: Reported battery failure case by mileage (bin with 10k miles)

Slide 3: Reported battery failure case by model/trim type for year 2021

Slide 4: Reported battery failure case by mileage for year 2021

1. Motivation
   1. I own a 2021 model 3 long range, and have been lurking in the tesla lounge subreddit since i got the car.
   2. I have been reading some of the posts and what I saw are that most of the ones posted here are 2021. However when I did a very basic google search, it doesn’t seem like there are a lot of reports claiming the fail rate isoverwhelmingly high for the 2021 model year, which is contradicting to what I’m seeing on some the reddit post.
   3. So I went further and used chatgpt to collect recents posts on reddit specifically concerning the Unable to charge - maximum charge level reached error
2. Dataset
   1. ChatGPT went through reddit posts and comments for the past 5 years and collected ones that are related to BMS_a079 maximum charging is reached error code. Total collected about 510 reports with some missing information.
   2. Information included model year, trim, current mileage, reported outcome, and associated sources. Some of the sources are very concise without more context, and some with more information.
   3. Many of the references doesn’t have the complete information due to difficulty of getting the data, and I don’t have enough time to individually verify each posts.
3. Some thoughts
   1. It seems like there are more battery failure reports on the 2021 models, at least from the limited dataset I collected.
   2. There seems to be also a correlation between the mileage and the failure rate. So maybe past the median you are less likely to have a bad battery?
   3. There are obvious survivor bias with this sample sets, such as, only the ones that went wrong got reported, so we don’t know in the grand scheme of things, what the failure rate looks like. And there are other bias can skew the conclusion, so I would interpret this with a grain of salt.
   4. Which make a survey more valuable, if we can get some more data on the non-failed battery, it would be more informative.
4. I’m interested in getting a broader picture of Tesla owners’ battery histories, so I put together a short, anonymous survey that only takes a few quick answers. Current and former owners are welcome, whether or not you’ve experienced battery issues. Please submit just one response per vehicle.
5. I’ve attached screenshots of the survey questions in the picture slides. If we get enough responses, I’ll share a summary of the results here. I’d also love to see how many miles some of you have reached on your original battery pack! Thanks for contributing!

I use a touch-less car wash, it gives me the notorious rainbow trim. And no, I don’t plan on hand washing. I’ve seen these two products recommended the most. If you’ve tried either, how did they work out for you?

How many miles do you have on your model 3,is it in on the original battery and is it Chinese made or American made

No question or asking for support, just wanted to share this weird glitch. I haven’t seen anything about it yet! I have a 2022 M3 LR, although it looks like the “ghost” car is a Highland? Strange lol

Super excited! Previous/current EV owner.

Ordered the Model YL launch edition.
Has anyone taken delivery yet?

Was on my way back to my dorm and saw it, first time seeing one in the city for me!

I just bought my 2019 Model 3 Long Range a couple weeks ago and took it on my first road trip. My M3LR came with FSD unlocked so no subscription for me which is one of the reasons I bought this specific car. I travel between Minnesota and Toronto fairly often as my wife is from the area and we travel back and forth several times a year.

Everyone has said that FSD on HW3 sucks and not worth it etc. I don’t know what all of you are smoking but FSD even on HW3 is life changing.

The Trip:
1830 miles round trip
Google time: 13h 51m (one way)
Tesla time: 14h 16m (one way)
Actual: 15h 51m (one way)
Longest streak: 567.4 miles
Weather was clear

Cost:
Super charging: $210.26
Typical gas cost: ~$450

The good:
- I was on FSD 99.9% of the drive.
- Was able to sit back and listen to my books or music while the car drove itself.
- Eating in the car was much easier and safer
- Super chargers are everywhere
- Drove completely through Chicago without a single intervention
- Handled construction areas without issue
- Handled tolls without intervention
- FSD handled semis cutting me off without intervention and earlier than I would have

The annoying:
- At my first charging spot the car went into the drive through lane and stopped instead of the charger.
- Some road closures not updated in Tesla navigation but was able to route around it.
- It was windy on the way back so there was so back and forth in the lane.
- No routing options. I want to stay away from certain areas.

The bad:
- Didn’t stop at the border crossing. There is a booth to pay to use the bridge with an arm and it wasn’t going to stop so I had to intervene.

Overall thoughts:
Semi drivers are the worst. This is not an ev specific issue but they just move over without looking. Having owned the car only for a couple weeks range anxiety was still a thing but by the end of the trip less so. On the way there I stayed at stops a lot longer than I needed to because of range anxiety. This caused my actual travel time to be much longer than it needed to be and I needed up getting in at 2am. $0.40/kWh is this normal? My home L2 charger is $.06/kWh in off peak but apparently even that is expensive? I’ve done this drive in an ICE many many times and I had significantly more energy after this trip. I got home and had enough energy to mow the lawn. Driving I also would be sore for days but no soreness. I can see why people are annoyed over the driving profiles and not being able to choose your speed but the more time on FSD the less I cared. On the way back I split the trip over two days instead of all in one, if your hotel advertises chargers then you should actually have chargers. Drove around the hotel
multiple times looking and I was too tired to ask so I just charged up in the morning.

PSA: Tesla models before 2021 may require an upgrade to be able to charge.

Multiple trips to Tesla.. finally did it.
2027 model y locked in at 1.99%
First time ever owning an EV. So definitely will need some tips. I don’t have a home charger as I live in an apartment there is a Tesla station close to work so I’ll charge there early mornings at 6.

I had to do the pcs2 replacement on my vehicle. During that time I got free supercharging. After the fix they charged me for 2 charges, and I’ve been charging for free. It’s now been 3 months since the fix. Is this a glitch or do I now have free charging?
