I strongly suspect Tesla will disable these devices for two reasons: They are inherently unsafe. Tesla's warranty clearly states the vehicles are not to be used as stationary power sources.

When I took delivery of my HW3 vehicle in April 2023, I knew HW4 was coming (and it did just weeks later). BUT, I bought the vehicle to drive - not to drive me. I also knew FSD was (and still is) somewhere between an alpha and beta product that I don't expect to become a finished product during...

Actually, I believe that there were new Model 3 vehicles with HW3 being sold as recently as the end of 2023, if not the beginning of 2024.

It's not 60 days - it's 30 days plus whatever you already have, which is about 1 week.

Rest assured that the very moment data conclusively demonstrates that FSD is any degree safer than the average human driver, insurance rates for manually-driven vehicles will increase and eventually become unaffordable for the average person.

Lars' answer about HW3 was anything but confident and convincing. I wasn't willing to pay for a feature that may or may never work when I bought my '23 Model Y with HW3, so if it is never able to drive itself for the remainder of the time I own it, I haven't lost anything. I plan to purchase...

You may have the coolest, lowest-power, and safest refrigerator on the planet and always use Cabin Overheat Protection, but the next person might not and they might have a fire. Tesla has no way of guaranteeing the quality of 12-volt accessories that their vehicles are used to power.

A $20 cooler with a $5 bag of ice is a lot less expensive than a refrigerator/freezer that runs off of 12 volts. I see people using these 12-volt refrigerators inside hot cars and...even worse...inside the enclosed trunk where they can't get ventilation. Also, there is a proliferation of...

You can also use Keep Mode and: Set the A/C to OFF so the vehicle doesn't try to cool the cabin Set the temperature to LO so the vehicle doesn't try to heat the cabin Set the fan speed to 1 This will allow you to use Sentry Mode. The power outlets already limit power. If you exceed 16...

I had a 2019 RDX that illuminated one of the 7 LEDs in each headlight in a turn for its adaptive headlight function. The effect was unnoticeable to me. I have a 2019 MX-5 Miata with headlights that swivel in a turn - the result is very noticeable and very effective.

My 2023 Model Y Long Range built in Austin in April 2023 does NOT have matrix headlights. At that time, Fremont was using them in the Model Y Long Range, but Austin was not. According to information submitted to the IIHS by Tesla, only the 2023 Model Y Performance trim was intended to have...

An Austin-built 2023 Model Y Long Range does not have adaptive headlights. They are not adaptive and do not swivel sideways. The only movement they have is vertically to manually adjust for height.

“Pressing the wiper button while the wipers are set to Auto temporarily increases the sensitivity of the wipers.” Ugh. That is not my biggest problem. My biggest problem is the wipers scraping and smearing a dry windshield when it is not raining. They also need a way to decrease sensitivity...

"Full manual control" to me would be that when I turn the wipers off they stay off until I decide to turn them back on. As it is now, the wipers temporarily revert to auto every time TACC/AS/FSD is engaged and I will almost always get dry wipes until or unless I override them and turn them back...

I am surprised that Tesla puts as much effort as they do into in-vehicle gaming. Is this something that is actually important to Tesla owners? Seems like things like auto wipers that actually work...or maybe...oh...full self-driving should be priorities over in-car gaming. I occasionally play...

While waiting in my vehicle with the A/C on and a TV show streaming before a fireworks show began last year, a lady came up to my window and asked if it would be okay if her son sat inside for a minute. She said he was fascinated by Teslas and that was all he talked about. Teslas are still a...

I do not see any use for the power meter. For me, it is an unnecessary clutter. I would prefer the ability to turn it off.

Same here. In April 2023, I took delivery of a new Model Y that came with 2022.x software. For ten months before I updated from 2023.44.30.8 to 2024.2.2.1, the auto wipers worked 99.9% as well as my other vehicles with dedicated rain sensors. I did not experience the poor performance that I...

I disagree. I believe Tesla is using blower motor current and a software model of the system to calculate pressure drop and estimate filter health. If they were using time and blower speed, my Model Y's cabin filter should be at less than 107% health after 20,000 miles. The HEPA filter is at...
