    Discuss: Intel-Based Teslas Receive These Features With the Spring Update (2026.14)

    Wow, I was super excited when I read the title of this post. Finally, us legacy owners are going to get something substantial! Imagine my shock when I read the article. Instead of a post full of Intel compatible upgrades we get a list of features that we can't have. Oh, I can swipe to add a...

    Am I crazy to think my elderly mother could drive a MY?

    @Procal I'm not too worried about charging habits. She only drives 5 miles a day (if that) so she would theoretically only need to charge once a week. And that's a good point about the instant torque, but as some others have said Chill mode might help alleviate that a bit. @PrescottAZRichard...

    Am I crazy to think my elderly mother could drive a MY?

    Is it a crazy idea to get a MY for my elderly mother? Someone t-boned her old 2010 Toyota RAV4 and she's looking for a new car. She originally wanted to get a newer RAV4 but they are bigger than the 2010 and she's having difficulty getting in and out of it. Plus, I'm not sure if it would fit...

    Discuss: Tesla Cybercab Gets New Charge Port, Wheelchair-Height Seats

    I don't know. That charge port door looks well placed to gather rain water and then shove it straight into the charger to me.

    Problem with 2026.2.6 and MX auto-opening doors?

    Just checking with anyone else to see if they've had any door issues with 2026.2.6 on a legacy MX. After this update it seems like my drivers door is not opening correctly, mainly while auto-opening. Sometimes it only pops open a little. Sometimes it pops open but is very slow to open all the...

    Discuss: Donut Lab’s Solid-State Battery: Miracle or Illusion?

    To me, fast charging only matters a couple of times a year, when taking longer trips. Things like a family vacation with multiple vehicles can be trying, especially if those other vehicles have longer ranges and/or are ICE. I really don't like to be an inconvenience and have to stop every 1.5...

    Discuss: Tesla to Enable 'Active Noise Cancellation' on Cybertruck With Update

    I think that's the real problem I have with the top-tier models being discontinued. There is no place to showcase advanced features that set the brand apart; Tesla has eliminated their "look what we can do" vehicles. Maybe the M3/MY are the place to do that, but making those cars "better"...

    Discuss: Tesla Code Reveals Model 3 Upgrades Coming: Black Headliner & 16-Inch QHD Display

    You know, I recently had a newer MY as a loaner and discovered that there is a LARGE text mode. I immediately enabled it and it helped but it didn't completely solve the issue of not being able to accurately see the song title or the number of the next highway exit. Maybe a high contrast mode...

    Discuss: Tesla Code Reveals Model 3 Upgrades Coming: Black Headliner & 16-Inch QHD Display

    I'm happy to see more resolution, but that won't fix the dark gray on light gray text that I almost can't see. 😡

    Discuss: Tesla CarPlay Video: A Glimpse at the Potential Integration

    I was always happy that Tesla didn't give in to the CarPlay / Android Auto pressure. I really think the integrated Tesla experience is better. I've seen quite a few Apple/Google integrations and they all suck. It's the same reason that macOS is better than Windows; you have one company...

    Discuss: Tesla’s New Automations Feature in Action [VIDEO]

    Agreed!! This is worlds away from what I was expecting and really opens the door (;)) to major changes in how you interact with the car. As a side note: please, please, PLEASE, make this available in the legacy vehicles! Even if it's not all the actions, even a partial list would be great. I...

    Discuss: The Biggest Features Tesla Has Added Over the Years With Software Updates

    I just wish that some of these updates were applied to legacy vehicles as well. The 2025 MY that I have as a loaner has a LARGE TEXT mode! Damn it! I've been wanting that in my Tesla vehicles for years and now I discover that they did add it, just not for me! 😡

    Discuss: A Look at Tesla's Automations App That Adds Apple Shortcuts Functionality to Your Tesla

    I have a loaner 2025 MY while my 2020 MX is getting a new battery pack (long story) and I've discovered some features that I never knew existed. For one, you can set the seat/steering wheel heaters to "Auto" so they come on when it's cold and turn off when its warm. It also allows you to...

    Model X and S to be discontinued in Q2 2026!

    It was interesting to read the comments of the Tesla management team when it comes to vehicles. They are all fully sold on the idea that people hate to drive and everyone would rather just sit and let the car do everything. Multiple times they mentioned that most drives are only a single...

    Discuss: Tesla Update 2026.2.3 - Release Notes

    Just yesterday I turned on CC before going out (because it was 11°F) and turned on the seat and steering wheel heat. I checked the app a few minutes later and it displayed blowing cold air and the interior was 78°F. I seriously doubt the temp was that high and when I got in the car several...

    Model X and S to be discontinued in Q2 2026!

    Telsa (Elon) just announced that the Model X and S will be discontinued in Q2 2026. The space in the Fremont factory that was dedicated to these two models will be converted to Optimus production. There goes my hope of owning another Tesla vehicle. I really loved my MY when I had it but the...

    Discuss: Tesla Update 2026.2.3 - Release Notes

    I've noticed that the Climate Control from my phone doesn't seem to do exactly what I think it should be doing. Like, when I pre-heat the car and turn everything on but the seat is still cold when I get in. I'm not really sure if it's just me or I'm doing something wrong or something is broken...

    Can you still use a Tesla Wall Connector if you don't own a Tesla?

    With the Rivian R2 being release soon I've been thinking about home charging. I currently have a Tesla Wall Connector and charge my MX every night. The new R2 has a NACS charging port built-in (yeah!) and can use Tesla Superchargers for charging. My question is, if I were to sell the MX and...

    Tesla moving backwards in comparison to other automakers?

    Well, it looks like a Rivian will be my next vehicle. I've firmly been in the Tesla camp for years (decades?) and have glossed over quite a lot of the CEOs antics because I've always felt that the cars, and more importantly the software, have miles above everyone else. Not so much anymore. I...

    Discuss: NVIDIA Unveils Autonomous Vehicle Platform to Compete with Tesla's FSD; Musk & Elluswamy Weigh In

    I agree that it's just a product announcement but at the end of the video she says that it's available today in Mercedes vehicles, which surprised me a bit. I spent a few minutes on the MB website and couldn't see any mention of this capability, so take her comments with a huge grain of salt...
