    Am I being lied to by the tint business

    I hadn't intended to imply that it was, only to describe regular glass.

    Adding artwork to songs that are missing it.

    I see the option for embedding artwork that was manually downloaded but not an option to find and add the artwork automatically. Does it include this feature and I've just not found it?

    2024 Model 3 Performance Announced - Discussion thread post announcement

    I didn't think we'd be seeing these in SoCal this soon. Had I known I might have ordered this instead of the MYP (also in that stunning Ultra Red!) but I needed a car now, not in June, and I didn't think customers would actually get them until July. Congrats on the purchase! It's a stunner. I...

    Unreliable [music] USB mounting on startup after sleep?

    That seems to be true here as well. If I jump back in the car two hours after my last trip it will resume playing, no problem. Something does occur after about 24 hrs. though.

    Adding artwork to songs that are missing it.

    It's not fully a Tesla topic but some experts here will probably have the answer. As the title suggests, I'm looking for a way to embed artwork into the songs that have lost their artwork. I've tried iTunes (or Music as it's now called) and that app has fought me at every step in one way or...

    Unreliable [music] USB mounting on startup after sleep?

    This may not be related since my car doesn't seem to lose sight of the USB stick entirely, but about half the time when I get into the car I get the spinning wheel suggesting that it's searching through the USB to find media. I have to go to the song list and click one and then it's fine, but...

    Is it ok to change to “P” before the car is completely not moving?

    Yes, as we all know, and as those who've not explicitly read the manual have likely assumed. I was explaining the deeply-rooted fear of Park that some have been conditioned to feel. Having not read about this in the manual, I, too, wondered if it could enter P at speed. I was essentially 100%...

    Am I being lied to by the tint business

    UVA passes through regular glass nearly unaffected. A is what accelerates skin cancer. I don't know how much filtering is employed in Tesla glass.

    Is it ok to change to “P” before the car is completely not moving?

    That's true, but a simple tap of the stalk typically engages P and I think that is their fear: tapping the wrong stalk. Many of us are still accustomed to a traditional gearbox where entering Park while at high speeds could be disastrous, so I understand the fear. That gets engrained in your...

    Turn signal update?

    I couldn't find it yesterday. Maybe the car needed to be in Park for this to be accessible.

    Turn signal update?

    I noticed similar weirdness (unpredictability and inconsistency) with my turn signals and the auto-cancel function and thought it was just me. I'll dig a little deeper and try to bring some thoughts.

    Dealing with Curb Rash

    I was relaying my experience. YMMV.

    Dealing with Curb Rash

    The tire/wheel combo has everything to do with it. Recess the wheel two inches inside the edge of the tire and see how often the rim is scratched. It never will. It's all about the wheel/tire. Obviously a car doesn't drive itself (well... these do) so it's ultimately the driver's actions which...

    Dealing with Curb Rash

    I'm wondering how it's useful to post pics of other cars with rash. No one thinks any brand is immune, so the net will be crowded with such photos, but that doesn't bring relevance to the argument that these wheels are among the most likely hit a curb. It's a thinly-veiled Straw Man argument...
