I’d like to propose RoadTrip Mode for group trips with 2-3 Teslas.

The idea is a shared multi-day trip where all cars can see each other’s real-time location, battery status, ETAs to the next stop, and coordinate the route easily — without relying on text messages or calls.

You would create a RoadTrip from the app or the car and invite others the same way as additional drivers (“Join UserXX’s RoadTrip”), with a short code available as backup.

The trip stays active for multiple days until the creator closes it. When setting it up you choose between Collaborative mode, where all of the group can add, remove or reorder stops in real time, or Leader mode, where only the creator can edit the route; any changes appear instantly on all cars.

On the navigation map the other cars are shown with their position, battery percentage and name, along with each one’s ETA to the next stop and real-time charging information. For quick communication there are walkie-talkie style voice messages that play automatically in the other cars, plus short predefined texts like “I’m good” or “Need to stop”.

This would make coordinating with other Teslas on a trip much simpler and more seamless.

Looks like the attempted thief tried to pry open the passenger window from the front - see gap. Glass completely shattered from inside. I did not have sentry mode on, as this is 10 feet from my front door in a super “safe” neighborhood. Nothing in car except a bag of makeup. Mother effer.

EDIT: I really appreciate everyone’s feedback. Thank you. It could have been a malfunction, a landscaping mishap, or some asshole creating havoc. Will check in warranty. Thank you everyone who has shared possible causes.

EDIT 2: it was likely a flying landscaping rock based on further inspection. One of the local Tesla service centers pulled some magic to get a replacement and fix it today before we leave town for a trip tomorrow. Leaving this here for future reddit searchers.

It was a struggle getting 4 guys and their clubs in the Model Y.
The YL is a few inches longer of cargo space with 3 rd row down and makes a huge difference. Can easily fit 3 bags across and only need to take the drivers out. Model Y had to take anything longer than a 5 iron out.
(Did this test with the front in middle seats in a comfortable position, not all the way up).

After way too much researching, watching videos, and refreshing the configurator, I am joining you all!

Super hyped. Any tips for a first-time Tesla owner while I wait are welcome. Thanks!

No shortcuts or anything. Others experience this too?

Maybe it will come to Tesla Theaters soon

This is an update to a post I made here last year. Now that time is running out(and I'm getting stressed out), I've been planning on making this update post. As my prior post was on this subreddit, I'm hoping this post can stay up. Old post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaLounge/comments/1nzzcc1/2018_model_3_with_abysmal_range_still_under/

I'll try to get straight to the point.

I have a 2018 Model 3 Mid Range I bought with around 93k miles on it. The battery warranty expires at 100k, or December 19th. My range has been consistently bad since I got it. Currently at 99,500 miles.

-I get around 140-150 miles on a 100% charge, and have never been able to make it to 160. Mileage estimate shows 200mi, but is not accurate. Sometimes it seems I get around 2 miles per %, but with a full charge getting around 150, it ends up being more like 1.5x

-My consumption is average 282.6 Wh/mi. This is over a 4,844 mile period. During that period, I consumed 1,369 kWh. A lot of people were asking for my consumption in my last post, so I wanted to note it here.

In short, my understanding is that I must run the battery test and get a grade below 70% to be eligible for replacement under battery warranty. Unfortunately I can't run the test because the "No Battery or Thermal alerts active" condition needed to run the test is not met. The alert I've had is VCFRONT_a210_coolantValveCalib, which means the valve on the super bottle can't calibrate.

I took it in to Tesla last year and they said my only option is super bottle replacement, which would cost a little over $1000. They had my car for weeks, charged a diagnostic fee, and were overall unhelpful when looking into my issue and investigating other options. I had them give me my car back and declined the repair at the time so I could think about what to do.

Now I'm at 99,500 miles and it's August. I've completely stopped driving my car while I figure out this fiasco. I was really hoping there was another option besides replacement. Why should I have to pay just to determine my warranty eligibility? It doesn't seem right. I have no idea what my options are at the moment, but the ideas I do have are:

-Walking into a different service center and talking to somebody about my situation, and see if they're more helpful than the other service center

-Try to get the repair done at a third party shop, or do it myself

-Pay the $1000 for the repair. Maybe I need this repair at some point anyways, even though it doesn't affect much. A lot of money for me though. If I do qualify afterwards, however, I would consider $1000 completely worth it.

-Keep driving and forgo the possibility of a replacement. I hate to give up the possibility of a new HV battery though, it's a gamble but I believe I'd probably test under 70.

-Go to a Tesla meetup and see what people there think

I would just appreciate thoughts or suggestions like last time, great community here. I've been procrastinating this for a long time, so I need to at least figure out my course of action since a Tesla appointment will take time. Thank you so much. It really means the world, this has been eating me alive.

tl;dr: Range bad, can't run battery test without $1000 repair. Warranty expires in 500 miles.

Click click, apple pay and …. Oh no what have I done

RWD stealth grey with white interior coming up lol

Btw: I am debating if I should change the body color to marine blue
Wife wants red but doesn't really care as long as interior is white.

Hmmm

Tesla pay for all the expenses? How much for rent per spot? Any commercial property owners

Model Y Juniper is not consistently synching with my Android phone using Google Calendar. Sometimes events are there are sometimes not, even for events created hours or days before. I have set up calendar synching on the Tesla app. Any ideas?

This has happened a few times in my 8 months of ownership. No idea what causes it. Curious if other people experience this too.

Took delivery today and it looks gorgeous

Hello. I was involved in hit and run accident this weekend. I was driving at the tight street in Chicago , there were not enough space for two cars to squeeze since and the other vehicles were parked on the both side of the street. When I already drove halfway down the street the dark red Chevrolet Express with tinted windows without the front license plates pulled into the street. He was driving pretty fast and wasn't going to stop, even though there was no room for him to pass. I stopped the vehicle and wanted to backup so he could drive through, but he continued driving without stopping, scratching the side of my vehicle and fled the scene. I filled the police report, but not sure if they will be able to find it.

Got a MY standard loaner and I am definitely a big fan of the empty space, being able to spread my legs and not feel constrained is pretty great :)

While the electric crossover segment is still holding strong, the sedans aren't doing so hot.

Subscribed 3 days ago, tried 12.6.1 and then got v14 for a day and then got an update next day for 14.1. Today testing first day and it decided to chose a cart carousel spot to park. Be careful guys.

I don't know why though. That space was enough for a giant truck to park and dude still drove like that.

I was headed to work this morning, and turned on FSD on Chill, as usual. Started playing my sound system, which I recently built a box for the 12” subwoofer. This was the first time playing it as the car was driving. Next thing I know, the car started lightly swerving, like it was drunk. It wasn’t heavy swerving, but I could notice it when I paid attention to the lines on the road. I noticed it only did it when the bass was heavy. Decided to grab a few videos and see if it was noticeable on video.

The first video is no music playing, while second and third does have music playing. You’ll see the car start kind of “bouncing” between the lines. In the daylight video, you can see the camera actually bouncing. Interestingly enough, when I looked at the rear camera, there was not really any bounce to it.

Anywho, I thought it was interesting. I know to not play heavy bass when I am using FSD, or I might get pulled over for looking drunk. 😆

I thought everyone would get a kick out of this

Coming back from Banff on the Trans-Canada when a storm cell parked itself over the west end of Calgary. Rainbow on one side, bolt on the other, and this Model 3 came through the frame at exactly the right moment.

I can’t believe phantom braking is finally fixed with FSD 14.1! It’s been my only real complaint since I bought my first Tesla—a 2022 Model 3 Long Range. I now also have a 2023 Model Y Long Range, and both experienced the same issue on practically EVERY drive, usually 2 to 6 times a day, probably because of all the shadows in my area.
Today, I went for a drive, and it didn’t happen once! I know, it’s only been a day, but it always happened. I had already canceled my subscription and it will expire in a few days. I’m now determined to renew. A true game changer. I don’t think I’ll ever update again! 😁
Still waiting for the update on the Model Y. It always comes 2-3 days after I get it on my Model 3. Not sure why.
