Hello all! I just joined the club!
Tesla Model 3
Long range performance, full autopilot, and red. I also got 5K free miles using a persons referral code. They had a model S so they don't get free the free charging miles but do get double chances for the drawing. Currently, if you buy a Model 3 with my code between now and May 31st you get 5K instead of 1K. Send me your PMs. :P
Where I'm coming from:
I came from a Hyundai Elantra bought brand new where:
- The original Hyundai dealer (Florida) screwed me out of rebates and reductions they kept. Florida is a sign and get fucked state unless you have the money to go to court.
- The engine blew up 4 years later in California.
- Hyundai paid to replace the engine at another dealer (California) under warranty
- CA dealer changed the engine and put back the damaged parts with the new engine after billing Hyundai USA 12k for the job.
- One of the damaged parts was the part the CA dealer tried to use as "proof" that it was my fault. I posted this on reddit and had a car-expert friend to help me through that.
- Same CA dealer was "offering me" 1K for my vehicle trade in with a brand new engine and a "reconditioning fee" of 4K.
- Same Hyundai CA dealer wanted 29K for a used 2017 hybrid.
- Same family of dealers all wanted 30K for hybrids and 33K for electric.
Fuck car dealers and a special fuck you to Doral Hyundai and Capital Hyundai (the whole chain really), and all those dealers that wanted 28K - 30K for used hybrids, and 30K+ for new hybrids, used electric, and new electrics.
New Chapter
I got the Tesla delivered and have had it for 5 days. On Day 2 I put in a USB drive to test out the dash cam feature on the way to work. That morning on the second traffic light, the Tesla's cameras caught a hit and run. I'm trying very careful not gloat but that damn, that was so cool.
Anyone have any experience with a failed software update? I received one late Thursday night, went ahead and installed it, and about 45 minutes later, it said that the update has failed. It mentioned that I would have to wait for the next update but it seems kind of silly that I can't at least redownload and try it again.
I'm a bit bummed that I seem to be stuck on an older software version for the time being. This happen to anyone else?
From my understand, that's not how it is supposed to work. The updates are not all released at the same time aka like an iOS update to iPhones. Tesla staggers the releases so that any bad update doesn't propagate to the entire fleet. Essentially "grounding the fleet." I had the update fail too. I believe it was because I had sentry mode on.
