Picking up an inventory Model Y later this week. Ordered through the Tesla app and I’ll be trading in my 2018 Model 3. Does anyone know if I still get the 10K loyalty / referral credits if I’m trading in my old Tesla for a new one? Also, assuming I do get the credits, will I see them in my...

I’ve got a 2018 Model 3 LR with FSD and I’m considering getting a Model Y to take advantage of the FSD transfer deal. I’m in NJ and the state recently restarted their “Charge Up” incentive program which gives you a $1,500 rebate for vehicles with an MSRP between $45K and $55K. This is where I’m...

The screen on my Model 3 has developed some slight fading at the top corners of the screen. Just curious if anyone else has seen this. Wondering if this is similar to the screen yellowing I’ve read about on older Model S cars.

The wood trim on the dash of my now 3 year old Model 3 is showing some major signs of wear. Lots of cracks, some small parts of it seem like the veneer is lifting up slightly. Really starting to look like crap now. Thinking about putting in a service request with Tesla to replace it but I’d want...

Anyone else have this happen to their door handles? I noticed today that the rear passenger door handle wasn’t sitting flush. When I was checking it out I ended up slicing my finger on the edge of the chrome that is separating from the bottom of the handle. I already had a service appointment...

Saw this posted on reddit and it’s pretty awesome: TeslaTheater.com (beta) offering full screen apps is now live : teslamotors This guy created the TeslaTheater.com website that utilizes the YouTube link workaround to load the browser fullscreen and offers shortcuts to many streaming video...

I’m curious if anyone else has experienced this. For the past several weeks I’ve noticed many times that when I get in my Model 3 the seat does not completely go to the saved position in my driver profile. It will go part of the way to my saved seat position from the Easy Entry position but then...

Via @tesla_truth on Twitter: Steve Jobs Ghost on Twitter Supposedly this is not an Early Access version.

Just saw this posted on reddit. Looks like window venting was added to the control page of the Tesla app with version 3.10.0 which was released today. According to the poster on reddit pressing the vent button in the app drops all 4 windows down a few inches and pressing it again closes the...

I noticed that my 3 was downloading an update but I had to drive somewhere so the update got paused when I started driving. I got home a short while later and expected that the download would continue shortly after reconnecting to my WiFi, but that was not the case. I left the car alone for...

Just saw this pop up on TeslaFi. Anyone here get it? Release notes?

A few weeks ago I noticed that the tweeter in the driver door stopped working. I changed the balance so that all audio was just coming from the drivers area and sure enough I had no high frequencies. Put my ear next to the driver door tweeter and didn't hear anything coming from it. I had put...

Not entirely sure what to make of this: Elon Musk on Twitter I’ve read speculation that the reason Slacker is the only streaming option in the US is because Tesla signed a 10 year deal with Slacker. The Model S has only been available for 7 years now, so this vague “ok” from Elon is a bit...

Well I made it 14 months until I got my first dent. Noticed it this afternoon and no idea when it occurred. After going through the past week’s worth of Sentry Mode recordings from the left repeater camera I gave up looking. This could have been there for well over a week and I never noticed it...

Saw a message I had never seen before nor have I seen anyone else mention it. While driving northbound on the Garden State Parkway earlier today the message “Trying to complete maneuver, be prepared to assist” came up on the display in my Model 3. It wasn’t doing anything at the time except...

This is the cut off the electrician installed next to my wall connector in the garage. Went to plug my car in after work and heard some noise coming from the cut off box so I shut off the breaker and checked it out. Looks like one of the wires may have been loose and cooked the inside of it...

I was hoping they’d post something like this after the event today. Looks damn near impressive to me.

Looks like they've updated the game selection interface as well. The video description mentions this is included in a software update rolling out this week. I'm assuming they mean 2019.8.5. Anyone with 2019.8.5 have Super Breakout available?

Tesla has announced that the HW3 computer is now in production: Tesla confirms new full self-driving computer is in production, will demonstrate capability this month Still not clear if it’s actually being installed in new cars at the factory. Tesla will hold a demo of the new HW3 capabilities...

Saw this mentioned on reddit. Greentheonly (@verygreen here on TMC) has uncovered several new voice commands or place holders for commands and posted his findings on Twitter: green on Twitter Included are potential voice commands to enable sentry mode, adjust climate control settings, seat...

One year ago today I picked up my Model 3 LR RWD from Tesla and I haven't regretted my decision at all since then. This is without a doubt the best car I have ever owned. I will never be going back to ICE again. I've got a pretty low VIN in the 7000s and was probably among the first Tesla...

Saw a handful of 3’s get 2019.9 early this morning. Anyone get it? Release notes?

Just saw this mentioned on Reddit. Tesla is now selling additional key cards for the Model 3 on their website: Model 3 Key Card It looks like they are charging $25 for two additional key cards.

I am still quite surprised that there is no 2FA (two factor authentication) option for our Tesla accounts. I have this enabled for pretty much every account I have that offers it. I know that even if my credentials somehow got compromised someone wouldn’t be able to add their phone as a key to...

Starting to see a trickle of 2019.5.1 reported installs. 2019.5.x is the version with Sentry Mode and Dog Mode. I’m assuming it also includes the blind spot warning chime and geofenced automatic mirror folding that was reported on by a few sites several days back. Anyone get it yet? If so please...

Anyone else noticing that the tires that came with their 3 are wearing faster than you would expect? The tread on mine is already getting pretty low after just a little over 12,000 miles. I do tend to accelerate pretty hard at traffic lights so I'm guessing that probably explains a good amount...

I'm anxious to get my taxes filed and usually file as early as possible. Unfortunately it appears that two of the forms I need are still not updated for 2018. These are: Qualified Plug-in Electric Drive Motor Vehicle Credit (Form 8936): https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8936.pdf Alternative...

Elon says Sentry Mode is coming “soon”: Elon Musk on Twitter I’m guessing this will be something you can enable for 24/7 recording of all exterior cameras. I wonder how big of a hit that will be on range. Is there any good software out there that would be able to easily stitch together...

Version 2018.50 has started rolling out to a few Model 3’s now. Anyone have the release notes?

Looks like 2018.48.x has started rolling out. Anyone have access to the release notes?

I go on vacation for a week and no one else bothers to make a thread for the new version? (I only did a quick search and didn’t find one, so maybe I missed it if it does exist) Anyway, according to TeslaFi 2018.44.1 has started pushing to a few Model 3’s. This version restores the capability...

A Model 3 popped up on TeslaFi this morning with 2018.42.1 installed. Found this screenshot on reddit that has a snippet of the release notes (New Release notes - did not see this posted yet. : teslamotors): This version also supposedly includes Navigate on Autopilot, but you need to confirm...

A Model 3 in California just popped up on TeslaFi with version 2018.40.1 installed. Anyone else get this version yet? Any release notes available?

This came to me on my drive home from work in some light rain. What if you could double tap on the wipe / washer fluid button at the end of the left stalk to cycle between the different wiper modes? So a double tap would cycle between wiper speeds I -> II -> III -> Auto -> Off and then cycle...

Starting a general discussion thread for this version. So version 9 is finally being pushed to the fleet, currently version 2018.39.5. Some additional official info from Tesla can be found here: Discover Software Version 9.0 And here: Introducing Software Version 9.0 Anxiously awaiting my...

Got a notification this morning about a new update on my Model 3. I’m assuming it’s 2018.36.2 as a bunch of Model 3’s just got that version overnight. Anyone else get 2018.36.x? Notice any changes?

TeslaFi is showing a single Model 3 updated to 2018.36 earlier today. Anyone else get this? Release notes? TeslaFi.com Firmware Tracker

There’s a thread on reddit about some update for the Model 3 Battery Management System (BMS) bootloader: r/teslamotors - Tesla Model 3 Recall - Battery Management System (BMS) I haven’t seen any mention of it here. Anyone have this done to their Model 3? If so what is your VIN range and when...

Does anyone else think it would be useful to have a master thread for each major software version release? This is how it’s done in the Tesla subreddit and I think it’s a good idea. The thread could be stickied while the software is in active deployment and replaced with a thread on the next...

I know this was a feature request by some here. It looks like Tesla has listened. According to greentheonly on the Tesla subreddit, 2018.26 Software Megathread • r/teslamotors, the release notes for 2018.26 contain this release note text for the Model 3: Lock Confirmation Sound Model 3 is...

Looks like we've got a new version out there, TeslaFi.com Firmware Tracker. Hopefully this gets pushed out to most of us and has fixes for a lot of the bugs people have seen in 2018.21.9 and 2018.24.1. Now excuse me while I do a tribal dance around my Model 3 so that Elon deems my car worthy...

I just discovered this while my wife and I were driving to dinner earlier this evening. We were driving near the Menlo Park Mall in NJ and while stopped at a red light I noticed there was a zoomed in view for the mall which showed many of the stores inside. This is super convenient when heading...

Over the past two weeks or so I’ve noticed a new issue with audio playback when listening to Slacker stations. This may happen with other audio sources as well, but I’m listening to Slacker 99% of the time. I’ll be listening to music on a Slacker station and at random there will be a quick audio...

Tweet from Elon earlier this evening: Twitter Glad to know the Model 3 is definitely getting summon, I’m just not going to hold my breath waiting for it...

Recently I’ve begun thinking about relocating the work parking tag that hangs from my rearview mirror to behind the touch screen. If mounted high up behind the touch screen (but not visible from the drivers seat) it is still clearly visible from the outside of the car. Has anyone else thought...

Just came back from a trip to my family’s vacation house up in Cape Cod MA. There are three superchargers planned for Cape Cod in the near future, but as far as I know construction has not started on any of them. Since the closest supercharger was a 45 minute drive away I needed to be able to...

So I have a yellow lab and he sheds quite a bit. The hair manages to find itself all over my Model 3 but I’ve been vacuuming regularly and have been able to stay on top of it. However I’ve noticed recently that a few hairs have somehow managed to make their way to the center brake light housing...

My Model 3 just notified me about a new update as I was driving home from work. Installed when I got home and it’s version 2018.14.13 9e3b7ff. This is the update with the new chill acceleration option. I still find it ridiculous that the car won’t tell you which version it is or what features it...

So after a day of around 2.5-3 hours total of driving I noticed that my range went down pretty significantly for the distance I actually travelled. Plugged in last night and the charging session completed shortly after midnight and reported a range of 273 miles on the Tesla app. I just checked...

Tesla’s documentation says that the Model 3 is able to charge at up to 44 miles per hour when using a Wall Connector on a 240 volt 60 amp circuit. I’ve witnessed on several occasions that my Model 3 is actually able to get up to a charge rate of 45 miles per hour. Anyone else seeing this?
