    Discuss: Researchers Discover Tesla Jailbreak That Allows Access to In-Car Upgrades

    This is awesome! It just shows that if a human can build it, another human can take it apart. However, it also gives Tesla the opportunity to secure the system a bit more and that's a good thing.

    Discuss: Tesla Cybertruck: More Insight into the Mysterious Frunk

    You know, I think it's kinda nice to see the scale of the Cybertruck. When it was first announced I was under the impression that it was going to be some super huge monster that wouldn't fit into a "normal" garage. But seeing it next to a Model Y in that picture and in front of the Rivian RT1...

    Discuss: Master of Coin Departs: A Look at Zachary Kirkhorn's Impact on Tesla

    Wow, I think 13 years at a company is quite a run. Maybe he just wanted a different challenge? Maybe he want's some time off to go hiking or enjoy his kids (if he has any). Everyone is making a big deal of this but I say "Congratulations! Enjoy the next stage of your life!"

    Discuss: Tesla Updates App to v4.23.5, adds Tesla Electric Check and Other Minor Changes

    Updates to the phone key would be great. On my old MY the phone key worked almost all the time but it could use some improvements. Unfortunately my 2020 MX doesn't use a phone key so this update doesn't really hold anything for me. 😥

    Discuss: New Tesla Cybertruck Details Suggest Price, Ventilated Seats, and Lack of Exoskeleton

    One of the big problems that Ford is dealing with is dealer gouging; and it's not just their EV line. My son just purchased a Ford Maverick truck and "only" had to pay $3,000 over sticker to get it. Some F-150 Lightning trucks are seeing $10-20k worth of "dealer fees" tacked on to the price of...

    Discuss: 2023.26.1 Official Tesla Release Notes

    Please, one more time, update FSD Beta to use a single stack and keep it current. I'm over here on 11.4 and feeling more left behind with every release. 😭

    Discuss: Original Tesla Cybertruck Concepts Unveiled: The Making of a Sci-Fi Reality

    I really like some of those designs. I think the ones with the high "belly" seem to be most intriguing. Also, the quote of "why doesn't the future look like the future" kind of resonates with me as well. Why doesn't it? In the 80's all of the future stuff seemed to be really angular...

    Discuss: Tesla Changes Free Color Option, Pearl White Gets the Boot for the Model 3 and Y

    I was going to pillar delete kit, which makes the car look like it has a black top. However, I sold the car before I could make it happen. Slightly related question about wrap. If you wrap just a small piece of your car, does the other paint fade over time? So when you take off the wrap you...

    Discuss: Tesla Changes Free Color Option, Pearl White Gets the Boot for the Model 3 and Y

    I hear what you're saying. I purchased a new 2020 MY and had one of the first Tesla's in my area of town. It was white (of course) but that was OK because there were so few around that I still felt special. Now, there are tons of Tesla's in my area (which is a good thing) but most of them are...

    Discuss: Electrify America Chargers To Gain Tesla Connectors, Making Adapters Unnecessary

    Looks like EA just announced they will be offering NACS connectors at all existing and future locations by 2025. https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a44389557/electrify-america-will-offer-tesla-nacs-ports-by-2025/

    Discuss: 2023.26 Official Tesla Release Notes

    At least it looks like most of these updates are available to newer and legacy models. 😃 As a 2020 MX owner, I get really disappointed when I see the "New X" moniker on a feature/update. Especially one that doesn't really have anything to do with newer hardware; specifically the navigation...

    Model Y Hardware 4 vs Hardware 3: Night Edition

    The v4 videos look much more clear (both night and day) and color accurate. The nighttime views are much more "sunburst" in the v3 shots than the v4 shots. I wonder if that's due to the lens, or maybe the hardware is better at filtering out the spikes. 🤷‍♂️

    Dropping FSDv11.4.4 to get 2023.20.7 wFSD11.3.6.

    I'm kinda in the same boat. I would like to get the newer "base" features rather than the latest FSD updates, but I'm not sure how to do it. I keep waiting for the FSD programs to become unified and follow the non-FSD updates but it hasn't happened yet. :(

    Discuss: Tesla Takes a Hit, Rivian Acquires ABRP, Amping Up Competition

    Quite a few people really like the ABRP planner and the options it provides. It might not be better than the Tesla planner (IMHO) but it''s probably better than offerings from other manufacturers. This seems like a win-win for Rivian and ABRP and a loss for everyone else (except Tesla).

    !UPDATE! It looks like Telsa has released some code for this exact purpose. Maybe this is real! https://github.com/teslamotors/fleet-telemetry

    Discuss: Tesla To Add Official Support for Third-Party Services and Apps

    The way this usually works is that you generate a "key" and grant that key permissions. In this case it would probably work something like this: Sign into your Tesla.com account Create an API key, which is just a really big number or series of letters Grant permissions to that key: Allow -...

    Discuss: Tesla To Add Official Support for Third-Party Services and Apps

    This is HUGE and I can't wait for it to happen. I would like to use some 3rd party app (TeslaFi, etc.) but I really don't want to give them unfettered access to my Tesla account. With this update, Tesla could allow me to grant TeslaFI read-only access to the car statistics, without allowing...

    Discuss: FSD Beta 11.4.3 (2023.7.15) Official Tesla Release Notes

    I was just talking with a Tesla service tech today about FSD wanting to move to the left (to pass slower cars) when your exit is only 0.3 miles away (or something stupid). I'm like "NO, don't move over, just stay here and wait for the exit!" But it doesn't listen to my screams. 😬

    Discuss: FSD Beta 11.4.3 (2023.7.15) Official Tesla Release Notes

    Also, why can't us "legacy" owners (is a 2020 really legacy!?) get in on these steering wheel heater updates!?!? 💢

    Discuss: FSD Beta 11.4.3 (2023.7.15) Official Tesla Release Notes

    My 2020 MX updated to 2023.7.15 a couple of days ago and I'm not seeing the "Reverse Camera" changes. I backed out of the driveway yesterday and was able to bring up Spotify which (annoyingly) removed the reverse camera view. I know this is a small change, but I think it would be great to lock...
