keep going with your original plan to get to 10 years Andy! Overall you still seem happy with Red Ranger :)

As bad as this was the really bad thing is paying $15,000 FSD and not being able to use it on a different car when you buy a new car. It's just a software license so as long as you're not using it on 2 different cars at the same time there should be no limit on transferring it.

I was stuck at 99% for about a month after Tesla replaced my windshield. It finally cleared after some highway driving.

I guess you should keep driving it…

You paid for a BETA software and want it be covered under warranty???? That’s not how BETAS work sir. There’s no such thing as FSD warranty. Trade your car in for the new M3 if you want a warranty again.

So it’s Teslas fault that you went to safelite?

The money you would save by transferring your FSD to a new m3 seems like less than the money you would loose by trading in your car. But... how much revenue can videos of the new m3 bring you???

Keep your car! I want to know how well it ages. I think the EV market is mature enough for a great used market. But, if you love the FSD then I guess take the deal. But for me after trying FSD for two weeks, Tesla would have to pay me to use it.

If you sell it, you should sell it to one of your subscribers for what Tesla would give you for it. Yes you will lose the trade-in credit, but you will do a good thing for your subscribers. They will get a quality car that you have loved well. You will get a lot of goodwill from somebody.

With the FSD transfer, I would pull the trigger on a Highland. I went from a 2020 Model 3 long range to a 2034 Model Y long range. The tax credit and FSD transfer earlier this year really sweetened the deal.

Will be there Part 2 with actual hacking?

You should still upgrade 🙂

Andy, THANK YOU!!! This totally worked for me - got the windshield replaced about 8 weeks ago and have been stuck on 99% for most of that time. Thanks again!!!

Keep your current car. If everything works why replace it? I can't imagine selling my 2021 M3LR. In the end the decision is up to you but would you want to part with that car you've had this long?

You did a great job calculating the data. I wonder how much depreciation the electric car takes after five years? Ten years? I believe that the electric battery has a warranty of eight years. What is a ten year old Tesla worth with compared to a comparable Toyota with the same milage and age? Also, which car uses more tires?

that's not an Aventon Soltera bike in your garage is it?

Keep it. :)

Not a hack, you just properly recalibrated the cameras. I was shown this by the Tesla technician who replaced a camera on my MY. So yeah, Tesla should have known. Including the current price of FSD, you can buy a new, 6 year newer M3 Long Range for $20k. If you can afford it and still like the M3, it makes total sense to trade.

The Safelite price is about what I paid for a 2017 Ford Edge with a windshield camera calibration.

Great job 👍 I would have complained to Tesla. You paid for nothing… Also $12.000 is insanely low. Doesnt make sense to trade it in at all. Perfectly good car.

Did the Tesla Service Center try unhooking the 12v battery AND the HV Battery (the connection under the rear seat)? I had to do that to mine when I replaced my 12v battery after replacing it. I made a service appt because I couldn't figure out why the 12v battery warning wouldn't go away, but the appt was 2 weeks out, so on a whim I decided to pull the rear seat bottom and disconnect the HV connection and the 12v. Hooked it back up and it's worked fine ever since (6+ months ago).

Tesla's service centers, expensive parts, stance against right to repair, etc. will always be a major issue...hope they change...

Sorry for your trouble, Andy. Love your channel!

Because Tesla and other maintenance car services us is shit every body want just charge from you money for nothing, and not help or fix people problems !!!

On the bad side tesla should be able to fix this(No excuse) but on the upside tesla gives you the tools to troubleshoot yourself and be able to fix it which is awesome.

I had a Tesla mobile tech tell me that other glass companies such as Safelite don’t do everything that needs to be done when replacing a windshield. I’ve had three windshields replaced, all by Tesla, and NEVER had a problem with my FSD.

This video is pure gold. If I need this info again I know where to go. Ty so much.

I have been working with the company to try to see why I’m not getting the 40% discount with your code, but it’s still isn’t working. It’s only offering me a 27% discount. Have you heard this from anyone else yet?

Great work. Congrats!

I have 2018 as well. Zero interest in upgrading to new 3

Definitely go for the new long range or even better the performance! Ultra red ftw!

I think you already know, upgrade to the new model 3 highland ;)

Definitely upgrade to a new long range mate!

keep your car.

Same here - ‘17X - service appointment next week. I’m going to try your fix - thanks!

I am now about to trade my 2020 model 3 for the new Highland. Reasons: 1. A much improved car 2. My 3-year warrantee expired, and it cost $435 to replace a $59 outside speaker. 4. FSD is transferrable. I too am disappointed that my car is only worth 21K in trade but, I am saving 8K on FSD. 4. after a test drive on the new model, 5. I WANT ONE!!! Mine has been a great car and service to this point has been excellent save the labor charge for the speaker replacement. BTW, I have only 27 thousand miles on this car with new tires. You would not regret owning the new model.

Keep your car❤

I am buying this car tomorrow because i just loved the way you explained it in this video ❤

Get the new one and keep both until you can private sell the 2018. I did this and currently have both cars (both red AWD). I transferred FSD to the 2024 and have an FSD subscription for the 2018. The 2024 is amazing and totally worth it! PS switching back and forth between stalks and no stalks will screw with your brain for awhile 🤯🤣

Upgrade...it's a no-brainer.

trade in for the new one and transfer the FSD

I ordered a 2024 model 3 rwd ultra red. Supposed to deliver mid July but I'm worried about what you said about feeling like a boat or a cloud. I hate driving cars that have extra movement over bumps like an SUV. Makes me feel noxious 🤢 I prefer a stiffer suspension that keeps you stable/steady. I hope it feels the right way. Rigid suspension>soft suspension.

life's short, do it!

Keep your car. Save your $$

I was having the same issue while I had my trial( never got to use it). Will try this and try to get a new 30 day trial and report back!

Oh my Vehicles charges faster than any Tesla on the road and starts up during any kind of weather. Every time I get a change I harass Tesla drivers in my 96 Ford Explorer.

“hacked”

Keep Red Ranger for a long time. Will be following you as you surpass 200, 300,400k miles.

You Should let Safelight know so that they can do this each time they replace a windshield so others don't have the issue.

Get the new Model 3 and transfer your FSD while you can do it for free. Life moves on!
