    Discuss: Tesla Model Y L Beats Range Estimates in Real-World Test

    This is great news, because it shows Tesla is still always working on making their vehicles more efficient. However, efficiency is only one part of the equation, and one of the bigger factors that is often left out of any Tesla discussion is the poor charging speeds (charge curve) and thermal...

    Navigation Data update 2026.26

    The burden of proof is on you; you are the one making the claim; prove yourself correct. You don't get notifications on your phone with either of these updates. The only way you'd know if you received them is if you checked after the fact or if you happened to coincidentally be sitting in the...

    Is FSD 14 lite Ready for Prime Time

    As with all FSD versions, I'm sure that these are issues that they are taking into account and attempting to fix. That said, I wouldn't trust it and would continue to do as you've been doing and intervening when necessary. FSD 14 Lite is a holdover for a potential future hardware upgrade for...

    Navigation Data update 2026.26

    You won't get a notification when you get the map update or the mobile charger update. You would manually have to check if you have the latest map version (NA-2026.26) by going into the software section in the menu of the car. Tesla does also still do phased rollouts of those updates, so it...

    Discuss: Is Tesla's FSD Ready to Go Unsupervised in Specific Regions or Highways?

    Short answer, no. Long answer, maybe under very strict circumstances and in certain areas or scenarios. The issue is that FSD could get everything correct 99.9% of the time, but that .1% is the stuff you have to watch out for. You might not get into an accident, but even so, anything that...

    Discuss: Does Your Tesla Have a Recall? Here’s How to Find Out

    The recall about the icons happened in 2024. You likely already have the recall applied to your vehicle if you’ve installed any updates since 2024.

    Discuss: Does Your Tesla Have a Recall? Here’s How to Find Out

    The update for the icons happened in 2024. If you've installed any update since 2024, then your car already has the different icons.

    Discuss: Tesla Issues Physical Recall for 20,349 Model 3 and Model Y Vehicles Over Headlights

    Because the direction it is pointing isn't the only issue; it is also the overall brightness of the headlight itself, which cannot be adjusted via software.

    Discuss: A Look at What a Refreshed Tesla Model 3 Could Look Like

    I wouldn't be opposed to this style, but I'm not really liking the rear lightbar design. The main issue I have with my current Model 3's exterior appearance is the giant slab of a front bumper that the 2024 Highland refresh got with the exception of the performance model. It is simply too much...

    Discuss: Tesla Issues Physical Recall for 20,349 Model 3 and Model Y Vehicles Over Headlights

    Thank you, NHTSA! A lot of the time when I'm being blinded by a Tesla that is coming toward me, it is usually always an older Tesla and almost always a Model Y specifically. I really do hope that people actually take this seriously and get their cars serviced to correct the issue, especially...

    Discuss: Tesla's New 'Preferred Routes' Doesn't Require the Summer Update

    I've had the 2026.26 map update for a few days now, and I have yet to get the "Your route" or preferred route option popping up on my navigation screen. Then again, I do live in a large city with a ton of traffic, so maybe they are weighing traffic patterns heavier than my specific preferred...

    Discuss: Should Tesla Allow FSD Transfers on Totaled Vehicles?

    You bring up some valid points about the complexity of the issue. But I think a lot of it can be solved by just having a one-time FSD transfer and not allowing that transfer across owners. They could even make it to where the FSD transfer eligibility is based on who the insurance company deems...

    Discuss: Tesla FSD V14.1 Lite Rolls Out: First Impressions

    Really wish they mentioned literally any of those issues in the article. Guess we will have to wait and see it on social media platforms.

    Discuss: Should Tesla Allow FSD Transfers on Totaled Vehicles?

    Easy answer, yes. At worst, they should at least allow it to be transferred for a small fee that insurance could cover. If you don't give those loyal customers that option, they may not only not subscribe to FSD, but then you will likely also lose them as a future customer for another car...

    Discuss: Tesla Rolls Out Rare Software Update to Mobile Connectors

    I exclusively use my mobile charger as a level 2 home charger. I even purchased the Nema 10-30 adapter for it so I can get 24A at 240V. Apartment dwellers may not use their mobile chargers, but that doesn't automatically mean that not everyone uses them. I personally know a few people that own...

    Discuss: Tesla Rolls Out Rare Software Update to Mobile Connectors

    Quick update: I don't know if I ever got the mobile connector update, and I wasn't about to sit in my car for hours or days to confirm whether or not I did get it. However, I did end up taking my mobile connector to the service center with me, and after a few minutes of them testing it, they...

    Discuss: Ford Unveils New EV Truck Starting at $28K

    I think if they can actually pull off that amount of range at that price, it would be pretty compelling simply because of those two things. But as an actual truck, I don't think many "truck people" will want it. If there is anything that truck people really want, it is a massive bed and insane...

    Discuss: Tesla Rolls Out Rare Software Update to Mobile Connectors

    I got my Gen 2 mobile connector along with my 2024 Model 3 LR AWD. The Gen 3 didn't come out until early 2025. Yes, basically exactly that. I think it would be easier to just keep the car plugged in with the mobile connector rather than wait until you get that notification, though.
