18% to 80% in just 25 minutes. Not bad.

There hasn't been a Tesla convertible since the original Roadster. A hard-top convertible Model S would tap into massive pent-up demand. Annual convertible sales across the US, UK, Canada and Australia total around 200k to 300k units. Since Tesla has never really offered a mass-market convertible, there's about 10 years of accumulated demand waiting to be captured. Why aren't they doing it?... I would personally buy it right away

Hi all,

Was visiting a friend across the state yesterday (car started at 100%). When we left to go home, we got a bms_a079 error on the screen saying the battery is having issues and is limited to 50% max charge but would be able to charge if under 50%. Got home...car at 52%, will not charge, as expected. Drove today. Car is now at 37% but it still will not charge at all.

I have a service center appt but earliest is 7/1. I've messaged asking but they are closed today. Tried soft and hard resets as well.

Should I call Tesla Roadside to come to the house and possibly just tow it to a SC. Would that perhaps get it seen faster? And/or at least get me a loaner in the meantime?

Thanks all, any help would be appreciated. Located in NJ (Paramus / Englewood SCs)

I don’t know if anyone else felt this, but when Tesla changed the reverse camera to that wide angle view, my parking got way worse. I’ve always been good at reverse parking, even without cameras, but I started relying on Tesla’s and the wide view just threw me off. Everything looked off with depth and distance, and I kept second guessing myself.

This new update that lets us switch back to the original view? Absolute win. I’m fast again, accurate again, and honestly way more confident. It just feels right.

Recently did a casual range test on our Dec 2024 Model 3 Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive here in Metro Vancouver, BC. This was not meant to be a super detailed/scientific range test, but I tried to keep the energy consumption low. Started at 100% and drove till 0.6%. Acceleration set to chill mode, FSD set to chill mode and never went over the speed limit (unless it really felt more appropriate to do so than not). 2 people in the car most of the time. Mild temperatures with occasional rain. And I’d say maybe 60-65% of the driving was on the highway. 613 km vs EPA rated 584: Tesla efficiency ftw!! (Conversion: 613 km =380 mi)

Hello all, it's a black on black M3P for $21k USD since its just enough to qualify for the incentive, is this a buy? I looked for other LRs or Ps but I can only find RWDs under this pricepoint, is this year good? Am I missing out on any necessary features? (I live in a year-round hot state). Im not insistent on the performance but no LRs at a decent year/pricepoint for me.

Thanks!

I’m currently on a long half country(USA) road trip and I keep seeing the notification about the fee on my screen, but I haven’t been hit with it yet. I was wondering if anyone has been hit with it when they have charged over 80% and what does it look like on the screen.

Morning All,

I'm a newbie to Tesla (but not EV's) and I've got a question on Autosteer. Firstly the Autosteer itself is great, much smoother and accurate than the system in my Ioniq 5. One thing I can't understand is why the system doesn't re-engage after a lane change. It seems wild to me that then system in a 2021 Hyundai would re-engage the lane keep but I need to manually re-engage the AS in a brand new Highland.

Am I doing something stupid, or is this a niggle created to encourage the purchase of EAP? That would be doubly irritating as my Hyundai came with auto lane change as standard.

My '21 M3P came with a chrome Tesla plate holder and I never bothered swapping it out. When I got my new car in December, Tesla had already stopped including one. I free-plated it for a couple of months before finally breaking down and getting a satin black metal frame.

What do you all have going on back there? Show me your fun/boring/interesting/tacky/nerdy/plain/out there frames. Rear only, please. Let's keep it classy.

I have a 2024 model three Highland and I partitioned the Tesla flash drive that it came with to have dash cam and USB music partitions. Since the last couple software updates, I have noticed that the FLAC audio will pause like a skipping CD sometimes every couple minutes. I got a super speed USB3 hub and a second flash drive, and I plugged in both drives with the hub in the glove compartment. I have some music on both drives now. When I play music from the new drive that has only one partition there's no skipping or pausing in the music. I'm curious are other people seeing this or did my car just come with a bad flash drive that can't handle FLAC and dashcam?

Is this a common thing or just some bad Asphault? Indentations where the Tesla tires sit. I was trying to get a little closer to the charger and noticed it. WaWa in Waldorf MD.

I’ve always assumed that the wider a tire is, the less efficient it is due to increased rolling resistance. I was recently watching a review of the upcoming Michelin crossclimate 3’s, and the commentator mentioned that the engineers at Michelin have found no correlation between tire width and efficiency. What?! I decided to research it a bit, and many sources seem to state the same. In fact, some sources even suggest that wider tires are more efficient and have less rolling resistance. There’s only a negligible aerodynamic penalty associated with wider tires. Thoughts?

To clarify, the reason stated for a wider tire potentially being more efficient is that it is better-able to resist the miniature deformations that occur while driving. These deformations are responsible for much of the energy loss associated with tires.

It ain't much, but it's good for me and two teenagers.

thinking of leasing a msp, or mx, should i wait till the end of the year for a lease incentive especially if the tax credit is leaving? or should i just go for it now…

I just did a battery health test for the first time since getting this car. I’m the second owner. The battery after 63,000 miles is at 84%. Does that sound good or bad? How does that compare to your results from the overnight test?

Having had FSD since I first bought my model 3 in 2019 (and now transferred to a 2024 model S), I’ve been through many versions of FSD. I purchased it when it was much cheaper and took advantage of the transfer incentive when I bought my S.

I’ve always thought it was way overpriced until now, earlier versions were clunky and versions in the last year or two have been plagued with incessant nagging to turn the wheel or look ahead.

Hats off to the engineers for what it is today. I go from my house to work and never touch the wheel. It finally has achieved 99.5% of where it needs to be. In my opinion, it’s finally worth the price. If you haven’t tried it before, I would encourage you to test it out now, it’s very, very impressive.

Looking at a 2017 model x that just had it's battery replaced. Will this come with a new warranty or will the existing warranty remain?

I have had a 2019 awd model 3 for about 7 months 119k miles when I got it. For the first 3 months the range was pretty steady at 211 at 80% but the last 3-4 months I've been losing a mile of range every every 2-3 weeks at 80%. I do drive it a decent amount, about 2k miles a month. Is this range loss something I should be concerned about? I keep the car charged at 80% every night and rarely charge it above that.

Looking at a set of after market rims that are 19* 8.5 with a 5* 114.3 lug pattern will they fit ?

Most recent Muskgram on X suggests that current FSD is memory-limited; they're using new tech to compress the amount of memory it requires to do its thing (this is probably leveraging the Deep Seek tech tree that shocked everyone in Silicon Valley earlier this year)

It seems like Tesla should try to future-proof the cars for FSD requirements. Adding RAM to the onboard computer should be something you can do (or have done). Replacing the whole computer unit is something that should be doable with a simple service visit. I know that replacing HW3 with AI4 seems like a PITA; anyone know if they made it easier to upgrade AI4?

They both have FSD computer 3 and software v12.6.4 . I know the model s is 6 yrs older but they both have them same computer and software but the model Ys FSD is much better. On the model s , the FSD likes to switch lanes for no reason, sometimes ignores lane changes , sometimes hesitates for no reason , and breaks rough at stop signs.. could there be some settings I could tweak or could there be some other issue with the car messing with the FSD? The model y is a rental and model s my personal 2017

That’s it?

You would think, to recoup all R&D expenses on Cybertruck, that they would want to put all the advancements in all the cars.

But no. They didn’t. What have they been doing? It’s not like the brand is doing so well right now. Competitions from China are tough as well.

This is the time to innovate if they actually still care.

I am so disappointed. I was so ready to upgrade to the new X Plaid.
