    Extremely loud lock sound

    I use a custom lock sound and YES, mine is also a lot louder than it used to be prior to the last update (don't recall the version, but got another update today 2024.20.1 and haven't driven yet)). Previously I adjusted the volume through software here MP3Louder prior to loading.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    I don't use a splitter, but I recommend partitioning the stick, one for audio the other for dashcam. That's what I do, and have done on my previous M3 too, and it's worked out very well. I don't recall off hand exactly what size I partitioned audio for but it was something like 10GB which was...

    2024 - Light Strip Issue

    No brighter, but it's been bright enough for me.

    2024 - Light Strip Issue

    Just got back from service today for this issue - both front driver and passenger side only. They replaced both sides (entire panel), and they look great now. BUT, the drivers side has a slight dent (about 1mm in size) in the panel, which they pointed out to me, and they've scheduled a mobile...

    I was in for service today, for another reason, but talked with the SA about my right blinker button sometimes sticking. What you're saying is pretty much what he was describing to me as well, as we were testing it. Don't put a lot of pressure on the button and with your finger pointed but more...

    2024 - Light Strip Issue

    As you already know, mine too. But want to watch this thread as well, and will post back with whatever results when I bring mine in on the 29.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Long ago I was streaming from my phone, but found it had different issues. I've since went to copying all of my mp3s to the thumb drive, which works great (well, except it doesn't know where it left off, and need to vocally tell it to "navigate USB" for it to continue where it was. Otherwise, I...

    Fair warning... back in 1984, I wanted a bit of a balance between women and children first, but decided to, well. OU812 before I went 5150. And that is a bit of For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge there. So yeah, a bit VH too. I'll stop with this before I get banned. :D

    My appointment is next Wednesday. I'll post back with whatever happens. Fingers crossed. Mine are just the front driver and passenger side too. Back sides and front are okay.

    Although I've done a lot of computer system designs over the (way too) many years, but nothing IBM related. Worked with the 911/PD so closer to psych hold. :D

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    No, but that'd be nice! Unfortunately, if you're using AP, EAP, or FSD, this is one of the shortcomings. For me, it is most troublesome when the sun is setting or rising ahead, curvy roads, or even shadows from semis. And other times, I have no idea why.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Yes. Had it in my previous M3 and my new Highland, and an MY I turo'ed for a week last year.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    EAP, Extended Auto Pilot was the latest, but that went away when they reduced the FSD price. Which is unfortunate, as that was a nice feature without going FSD. The auto lane changing is what I found to be the nicest part of FSD. I don't need, or want at least for now, FSD for city driving.

    Consistently works for me with one click, and not heard of others having an issue. Sounds like it may be a defective scroll wheel.

    That stinks. Definitely open a service appointment up to have Tesla fix.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    I've found it's picky about where you press it. I've had good results when pressing where the icons are. If I'm off by 1/4" or so it doesn't do well. But, if it's not activating for you I would recommend having Tesla take a look at it. Tesla should do something overall to make them more push...

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    My passenger side has quite a few bubbles (or whatever it is) and drivers side has one. They've been there since I noticed in the first week. Much more noticeable when they're not lit vs on. I'm bringing it in for service in a few weeks.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    I've used it quite a bit over the past few weeks (seeing what it can handle etc.). And on two longer drives, 300 and 600 mile round trips. It's really nice on the freeways. As I've had autopilot for four years already, it was nice that FSD could change lanes on the freeway, either by itself...

    Yes, the mobile charger. It came with my 2020, but no longer comes with the newer model.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    They told me they only wanted the two card keys, so I kept mine as well knowing it wasn't coming with the cable. And, I didn't want to buy a new one if I didn't have to. I didn't realize it would come with the adapter again either, so I have two now also.

    You have too much money. A $1,500 accident?! 😅😃😆 Glad you caught it. You'll know best about delivery time, as it will update in your app. Hopefully, sooner.

    Screen Cover

    Ah yes, there is that. Like for phones etc. But I can't see that getting cracked. Never know though.

    Screen Cover

    I'm not aware of it being a screen cover. And, many people buy aftermarket covers for them.

    Highland FSD?

    First time trying FSD. Downloaded Wednesday evening, and had a 200 mile round road trip planned already for Thursday. I let FSD do most all of the driving, to try it out. Thought I would share some observations. Things it did well: Busy four way stop sign navigation with traffic all ways...

    Got mine this evening. Will be taking a couple hundred mile road trip tomorrow, so just in time. I've been anxious to give it a try.

    Refreshed M3LR at 78kWh Capacity

    That could be it, it is 78.8 capacity. I was thinking it was 82. Not sure where to read what it actually is. But, 78.8 makes sense. Again, I don't plan on monitoring much, as I didn't with my SR+, but thought I would track every once in a while.

    Refreshed M3LR at 78kWh Capacity

    I didn't normally check battery capacity of my past M3SR+, but since I just picked up a refreshed M3LR a couple weeks ago I thought I would run the calculations to see what the battery capacity shows, and track for degradation along ownership every now and then. I've done a few charges, at 75%...
  28. 5150

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Nope. Anxious to get it though. And, from what I've read (when reading an article somewhere about FSD being one month free) when new Teslas are delivered they're set to not get any updates for a week or two.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    I'm guessing not, as I've looked around for it too. Only fan speed and direction.

    but looks like a giant crack/gash in the hood with a band-aid or tape holding it together! 🤣 (yes, it's the reflection of the lamp post. but first glance!)

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    That's what I've found too. I would prefer to press on the outer portion, closer to the wheel, but seems to work best or only pressing more towards the center. Pressing closer to the wheel would be an easier feel for me.

    I like the rims, but I'm leaving my photons on, at least for now, as I like the better range.

    Inland Platinum SSD

    I've not formatted through the car, as I have a music partition. I've only formatted through a PC. Hopefully, that does the trick for you. Some people seem to re-format their drives annually or so to try and stay away from issues. (I didn't think the other ports worked for dashcam etc., but...

    The auto shift is definitely a nice add. I had to wait for my cameras to fully calibrate before I could use. A nice addition.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Same here, as of this morning. Although, the service center was very busy. But, lots of people working/helping everyone. The EOQ push is definitely happening. Super easy trade-in. They do paperwork fast! Love the new ride - quiet, suspension. Build quality is great.

    Inland Platinum SSD

    Hmm, the specs seem fine. I use a Samsung T7 which is similar without issue. Doesn't hurt to reach out to support, since still under warranty. They may be able to tap into car and see whatever internal error.

    There's been talk about it on the forums here. Which also has a link to a car and driver article. They say 3-4% highway loss.

    Improving driving skills

    Years ago, I joined a BMW club, since I had a series 5, and then was able to take a some high performance driving classes through them on some weekends. Got to learn a lot about car and driving dynamics. The last class, weekend, was at Laguna Seca Raceway. Loads of fun! Maybe there's a Tesla...

    I was reviewing my agreement documents I needed to sign (title application etc.) for my pickup tomorrow. I noticed the mileage was 15. What? I asked my SA why would my car already have 15 miles on it. They replied with that is their normal baseline number they put on the title for new cars...

    Well, that was fast! This morning got my VIN and now I received notification to schedule my delivery date. I chose this Monday, which was the soonest. I'm a bit curious how I'll get funds to them, as that isn't an available option right now.

    I have the entire back window tinted, one piece (some places want to do it in two pieces, I wouldn't go that route. Just my preference. I don't want to see a seam). I don't have the roof tinted, but for me it needs something as my head gets hot. My wife doesn't thinks so though. Because I...

    It is separate. Before I do a trip, I view ABRP, which gives me a good idea of my route and stops. I then have an idea of what I will be doing. But, I use Tesla navigation which does pretty good too, and will sometimes deviate from Tesla and go from what ABRP showed, if that made more sense...

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    ABRP (A Better Route Planner - ABRP) shows under 1.5 hours of charging time, with 5 stops. Depleting down to 15-20% and only charging to 60-70% or so will get you faster stops.

    It really sounds like they messaged the wrong person, since they stated they serviced your car and then parked outside. I'll be curious on what their reply is.
