I'm really struggling with some of the reasoning in this thread. If the behavior was changed to avoid confusion - people thinking the car was steering when it wasn't - then it would have had to be applied to both FSD and NOA/autosteer. But it doesn't. It only applies to FSD. Which does...

I had a call from the SC that they had an early access firmware update to fix the problem. I was reluctant to take anything early access, but was persuaded to give it a chance. I dropped my car off and it ended up being with them for two and a half days, both because of unexpected problems...

I really couldn't have written the original post any better myself. I feel exactly the same way. With the FSD changes and the removal of stalks (yes, I have test-driven it... twice!), I will not be visiting Tesla when I replace my model 3LR next year and I'm not all surprised to see Tesla...

If you routinely charge in a very narrow range (say 60-90%) then the _estimated_ capacity of the battery becomes inaccurate over time and doesn't necessarily indicate actual degradation. When I first got my car, I followed Tesla's advice and left it plugged in all the time it was at home...

@TracyJackson - do you happen to have the powered trunk retrofit on your car?

I have the same problem, with the exact same symptoms and "fix"... It took four visits to the SC to diagnose, and the final symptom was consuming close to 6% battery per day on "vehicle standby". The fix for now is for them to disable the module that allows remote trunk opening / closing (what...

It's frustrating to be stuck there just waiting but I can see the other side of that as well. I actually think Tesla should allow 60 minutes between test drives. It's not like they're booked solid. 45 minutes for the drive and 5-10 to give the interior touch surfaces a quick sanitation wipe...

As a data point for @Massive Attack , my retrofit trunk still works after the holiday update (2023.44.30).

Just as another data point, I had the 12v battery on my 20 LR replaced by mobile service before my latest road trip. $121 all-in and FWIW the tech's opinion was that it's a good move. He also mentioned that Tesla would move to all 16v low voltage batteries soon. They are apparently more...

I use this one: Amazon.com It's easy to put on and take off, and has saved my seat from endless scratches and an unfortunate bout of doggy car sickness so far!

Routinely down to <30% then up to 80% on level 1 every couple of weeks as a low mileage driver. Since I started doing that, the BMS perceived battery degradation - and it really is only "perceived" - has improved immensely. I do a couple of road trips a year, 1200 to 3000 miles each, and...

For your own sanity, you accept that the range is just an estimate - just like every other car regardless of propulsion - and don't worry about it.

Here in Chicagoland I just had both of my nearside rims repaired via my Tesla SC. I just scheduled it as "something else" through the app, arrived at 8am and was out by 9:30 at a cost of $100 per wheel. They contact the work out to somebody of course, but it was dead handy having it all done...

Intrigued, I just tried this in my 2020 M3 running 2022.16.3. If HVAC is completely off, it stays off regardless of profile. The set temperature changes with the profile but it stays off, with no air blowing. If HVAC is on, every setting - including manual settings and the AC state - is...

FWIW, I had similar experience in July 2021. Waited months for a USB hub and wireless charging pad, chasing weekly but getting nothing from customer support. In the end I was going to reverse the charge, told them so, and the items arrived a few days later. The hub was wrong, with a USB C...

The funny thing is that I dislike it more now, even with the tiny tweaks, than I did when it first came out. It doesn't even follow the standard "blue is on, gray is off" and I still end up turning automatic heated seats off and on again nearly every trip because, you know, gray means on in...

Hmmm. Like the first respondent, I read "tablet" as "MCU" since that hasn't changed in the app 🤔

Hitting the windshield defrost once on mine turns the icon blue and blows whatever temperature it was blowing before I hit it, just directed at the windshield. Hitting it again turns the icon red and sets the heat to high. But that's always been the case for me - not a new feature 🤔

The interior warns up surprisingly quickly. For stops like that I just schedule the departure time - which is per location - or try to remember to start climate about 15 minutes before I leave. The caveat there is that it hasn't YET been that cold here since I've owned the car, but I reckon it...

"me too" for; Really missing the swipeable cards which weren't cluttering anything at all. Seriously missing one touch defrost! Hating that the homelink shortcut (at the TOP of the screen) summons the full page Controls screen. It would be nice if the camera on turn signal could be moved to the...

[...] You're onto something here. I took my car out for a nice early morning drive today, beautiful sunshine and nearly empty roads. I always use autosteer and TACC until I get to the interesting roads but that part of the well-trodden journey was full of random, though thankfully gentle...

Has anybody discovered whether the new(ish) Sentry video stream has been exposed in the API yet? I found a community effort to document the streaming API but it seems dead :(

FWIW, 5 months into my Model 3 ownership with FSD, I would not pay up-front for FSD if I was buying new now. Most of it is pure gimmick. Traffic-aware cruise control and lane-keeping on highways are the only things I trust it to do, and you don't need FSD for that. I would perhaps miss stop...

Wheel adjustments - not "when"... my soft keyboard hates me, and I don't have an edit button :rolleyes:

My 2020 M3LR just got updated to 2021.44.6, which has vision based autopark rolled into it for me, and it's just terrible. I tried it in an empty parking lot with bright yellow lines on black asphalt, in a clean car and although it managed to get into the three wide-open, completely flat, spots...

For what is worth, one of my rear doors wouldn't open and was diagnosed as a faulty switch which necessitated replacement of the entire interior door panel!! The tech said they don't even make individual switches, which doesn't necessarily mean they can't be removed but I'd have a chat with...

Wait... there's more than one pedal?

@ScottNY - where did you order the Alcantara dash cover from? I want to change the wooden cap, but am not feeling the whole carbon fiber thing and the only other one I've found so far is the matt black from LMZX that doesn't quite hit the right note for me either.

Search found me a few threads, but nothing concrete on the question I have. I found the detailed "track setup" thread, but plan to run completely stock as it's my first time ever near a track, so... Has anyone here done a "Sprint" or "Performance Drive" day at the Autobahn Country Club in...

It's in an attached garage. The garage is unheated and at best poorly insulated. I've never measured the temperature, but when it's -30 outside the beer and soft drinks we store out there as a makeshift fridge during the winter months stay nice and cold but never freeze. Not very scientific...

Thanks for your thoughts @drtimhill - $500 for the L2 charger and $1300 for the installation is a lot of power for me to consume before it makes economic sense though. The only thing that will drive me to that is if for some reason the passive ("vampire") drain becomes so high during the bitter...

Oh, I forgot to address one thing: >Since it appears you are charging on level 1 at home, and driving more than you can charge in an overnight period That's not the case actually. I do use level 1, but it's more than enough. My wife and I work from home and my son walks to school, so we...

I charged KITT overnight on Friday. I started charging after a short drive at 9:45pm with 93% SoC (having interrupted the slow charge to 100%) and didn't check it again until I woke up at about 6:30am on Saturday. It did in fact report "Completed" just before 5am (so 7 hours after charging...

Absent a working thanks button (newbie restriction?), I'll say thanks again here. I do have charging notifications enabled and get the "almost complete" and "completed" messages for all states of charge below 100%. I still get "almost complete" messages for 100%, but never "completed", and...

*NOT knowing the charging history

Thanks for the reassurances that this is actually normal behaviour, even with supercharging. Odd that I didn't come across that when searching though - maybe I really was just too impatient, with the expectation that charge would finish when the car reported 100% rather than continuing to...

Hi all, I had a good search here and across the Internet as a whole, but didn't see anything quite like this. In June, the family ICE car was destroyed in a flood and we decided to replace it with a Model 3. The waiting list at the time was stretching into 4+ months and with only one family...
