In regards to Model 3, they have all come with just Autopilot included since sometime in 2019, with the option to pay more to add EAP or FSD. Before then they came with just basic cruise control and Autopilot was something you paid extra for. I didn't pay for any driver assistance features...

Two possible reasons why it doesn't have FSD: 1. You said it was sold through auction. There are cases where Tesla will sell a car traded back to them or returned from lease to a reseller that seems at auction. The terms could be that FSD is not included in the transfer. 2. The car could...

Log into your Tesla account here https://www.tesla.com/teslaaccount and look at the silhouette of the Cybertruck. Right below it is the reservation number, it starts with "RN".

The lead acid 12v battery in the Tesla will fail just like it does on other cars. Tesla chooses to tow the car in and replace it under warranty a lot of the time, but I see that as wasteful and time consuming. You can replace the 12v battery yourself just like in any other vehicle, even if the...

Tesla has replaced the cables with bus bars (or tubes) for the thick, high voltage cables going from the charge port to the penthouse. That won't work for the wires that mice like to eat, which are the tiny wires that connect all the electronics in the vehicle together. Those wires are tiny...

They can eventually stop working if the contractor inside stops working. The contractor is a relay that physically connects power from your outlet to the car's onboard charging module. Since it's electromechanical it's probably the most common wear item. However, they are designed to last...

I wish I could go back in time, but I don't dwell on it or have strong feelings of regret. And I know that Tesla's stock performance isn't likely to repeat. But already (for me) it has outperformed other investments with just the doubling of price on my shares. I would say my level of regret...

I bought my Tesla Model 3 LR RWD in March 2018. It cost about $51,000 and I paid it in full. I should have done a $5000 down payment (plus my $1000 early reservation payment) and financed the remaining $45,000. If I had bought $45,000 worth of Tesla stock in March 2018 it would now be worth...

From what I understood watching Sandy's video, each cooling ribbon that touches the sides of the cells had two cooling channels each. I don't think they were able to determine that one of the cooling channels went to the bottom of the cells like we all want to see.

I would have liked to see inboard brake rotors in the Rivian or Cybertruck, like what Bollinger did with their B1. Then they could probably enable use of almost any size wheel.

On Tesla Model 3 and Y the front suspension knuckle is what limits the overall tire diameter. On those, you cannot increase the overall tire diameter much because it will rub (unless you use spacers to make the wheel and tire stick out). On Cybertruck prototypes, the tires are 35” in diameter...

There are a few tires coming out that are meant specifically for EVs, but they don't compromise on the grip. They balance load capability, grip, and low rolling resistance for EVs. Michelin Pilot Sport EV and Pirelli has a few (which will be used on the Lucid Air EV...

"Model P" for pickup? Maybe you won't be getting Cybertruck, but another, smaller pickup truck in the future ?.

If you are talking about the Google spreadsheet tracker, remember that it's something a person put together to try and estimate delivery dates. It's not made by nor endorsed by Tesla, and all the data in it is put in by individual users. So if your reservation does not show up, it means you...

FSD stays with the car in a private sale, just like any other option. I'm surprised that Zack and Jessie would get that wrong. I haven't seen any of their videos in a few years, but they always struck me as pretty knowledgeable about Tesla stuff. Here are 3 scenarios I know of where FSD...

No, there's no setting in the Tesla to change. A Better Route Planner is what you will want to use if you want very detailed settings for planning a route.

No, it's written wrong. Should be "officers" for plural. Not "officer's" for singular possessive. Either the writer of the article or the poster on this forum made the mistake, and it's quite common.

Perhaps they are short of some microchip or other component that the car needs to drive, and Tesla is parking them in an almost-finished state until they come in.

This video talks about EVs and electric generation, based on historical data

I'm in Nebraska and calculated where my break-even would be in miles driven per year between my Model 3 (flat $75 tax per year) and a fuel efficient sedan that pays tax per gallon of gas. IIRC, the break-even was around 12,000 miles per year. I drive about 20,000 miles per year. Therefore I...
