2021 Model 3 LR - I started having this problem last week. It is intermittent but so far has only occurred on hot days (80F full sun). If I start driving under full sun, it stops working in 30 minute. It then starts working again after the car has been sitting for a while. Reboots don’t help...

I can hear your squeak sometimes, but there is also a bit of static noise throughout. I found that it was best to record it when you accelerate from 0 for about a second then let off. In a jerky manner. Here is my video incase you missed it. squeak video

Good luck, be sure to test the car with the rear seat bench detached as you see in my photo, so you can hear the noise clearly. If you hear it, record and send in video to Tesla and turn your car in for service with the bench also detached so they hear it. You really can't rely on them to do the...

Here is the invoice:

Dropped off on Tuesday, they had the subframe swapped by Thursday but wanted to let it settle overnight. It was "ready" by Friday afternoon but the interior was trashed and the bumper was not reattached properly, So it stayed a few more days.

I would really love to see some Tesla documentation stating that it is routine maintenance. As far as I know there isn't even a maintenance schedule for the Model 3.

I finally got the car back today. It was "ready" on Friday but as usual for me, I went to pick it up and found things wrong in 5 seconds of looking at the car. They didn't re-attach the rear bumper correctly. *See Photo. And they left dirty hand smudge marks all over the white interior as well...

Hi Cimci, see my last reply to Dylantoy.

The car is still at the SC, but they have replaced the entire rear subframe and identified the noise as being related to a problem with a bushing. Apparently on the model 3 these particular bushings can't be replaced independently from the subframe. I should have it back tomorrow.

I've heard of the rattle that you describe, there are a couple of videos on youtube about it. That was definitely one of the areas that I checked, however for mine the creak is coming from under the seat. When I have the seat bench in place it is muffled, but as soon as I move the car with the...

I took delivery in December 2021 and after a week I noticed a creaking sound coming from what I thought was the rear parcel shelf. It is most noticeable during initial acceleration from a complete stop and then when letting off the pedel. It's as if weight is shifting on an old spring mattress...

Hi When you installed the new trunk lid, how did you line it up correctly. 2 different tesla service centers and 1 auto body shop have been unable to align my factory trunk lid correctly. I assume they use some sort of tool at the factory to hold the lid in place so that the 4 bolts can be...

This reminds me...didn't they increase the range on the LR RWD about a year ago from 310 to something like 325? Or did I imagine that. I didn't get that increase on my car, should I contact the service center? Thanks

I'm still stuck on 2019.5.15 and I connect to a mobile hotspot everyday.

The audio quality is low via Slacker, however from usb or bluetooth from a phone it is much better, the low bitrate for slacker the problem. If you've only used slacker I could understand the comment but it's definitely inaccurate to say the sound system is "just adequate at best", it's arguably...

Everyday I listen to only live channels without any issue. RFI Español, Deutschlandfunk, Euronews en Español, and occassionally Bloomberg Radio, and Canal Sur Radio.

Why didn't she like it at first? Was she afraid that it might be hackable? That seems to be the only valid concern.

I haven't seen anything but I wonder if I can make them using a 3D printer. I really prefer the one from the reveal car.

I got 39.7.1 this evening (from 21.9)

That's so crazy, I'm in the same boat. My car was crashed into and has been in the shop a little longer than yours. I got it today and it's also still on 21.9. It must have been in Power Off mode. *I hope your repairs went well. I unfortunately have a few issues that need to be addressed...

I'm so disappointed, I just got my car back from the body shop after 4 months 1 day and it is still on 21.9 I guess they must have been keeping it in Power Off mode most of that time.

I have a model 3 that I drove for 1 month before someone crashed into it. For the last 31 days I've been driving a June 2018 Model S 75D. I Got the Model 3 back today and I can confirm there is no question that the 3 is a better driving experience. I would even go as far as saying that the...

That is correct. I wouldn't expect to find this in writing, just be sure to bring it up with your Tesla Body Shop Advocate. It doesn't seem like they are keen to offer this unless you ask. I was offered $50 per day for a rental. I was originally told back in July that my rear quarter panel was...

I was told this on Wednesday by my Tesla Body Shop Advocate, they offered me a rental but since I already have one through my insurance and my part is now expected in on Monday I'm just going to keep what I have and have them reimburse me for gas. I did press for a Tesla loaner but she would...

Tesla's policy is to provide you with a luxury rental and reimburse for gas if parts are back ordered which they will very likely be. I've been waiting for parts since late June. (rear quarter panel). Expect about 3 months to get repaired, that seems to be the average.

There are a number of parts back ordered, one until 8/20 and the largest most important part, the quarter panel is back ordered until early September. Someone else that is also waiting for a quarter panel since June, recently tweeted Musk about this back order hoping to get an escalation. He got...

It was a borrowed Infiniti rental. The person smashed into a car further down the street, lost his passenger side front wheel, flew over a speed bump in tri-cycle mode, then smashed into my car....which I had parked some 40 - 50 seconds prior. I'm not sure how fast he was going. It was the...

Here is more salt for your tear ducts: *2 days shy of 1 month old This is my baby during my first road trip. Someone crashed into it fleeing from the police. I'm currently in parts hell. It's so bad that Telsa doesn't even give an ETA for parts delivery :( *Repair costs is currently at $10K

Then you quickly press the button and shout "cancel that command!". Basically, I would watch that sitcom

Yeah it's not bad, though I have managed to throw it off. "Play RFI Español", sometimes works, but sometimes I get "RFI Spagnol"

You can shout commands until the cows come home, unless you press the right nipple button on the steering wheel first, nothing is going to happen.

I did, but what I'm salty about is that I didn't receive the sketch that was mailed out, where as a friend who ordered hours after I did got one.

This is yet another reason why I refuse to pay $5000 to beta test AP. I already have to stay alert, Telsa should pay US to use AP.

I can easily see what is in front of me, I'm hoping for a display of the cars directly behind and in the rear adjacent lanes.

I see your point, and it is regrettable that this problem exists. In my opinion I don't think we can expect something like 1.5% failure rate on 1100, not since the software is still in active development and being improved. If this was my last car which was a first year production model with no...

I am surprised at how well mine works. I've had the car 2 weeks today and it's failed only onces out of the 60 - 70 times I've used it. (iPhone X)

yes, that was the first thing I tried and I've done it many many times.

Yeah, I started that thread. Day 9 and I'm still crunchy.

I'm really hoping they release the aero wheels from the reveal car in whatever that size was...19" or 20" Failing that, hopefully a third party ventor will make wake up and make them.

If you're meant to get one of the miniature Model 3s don't forget to also check it for panel gaps. I took delivery of my big Model 3 but refused delivery for the miniature.

Well, I'm told it goes away after about 2 weeks, but at present I remain skeptical yet hopeful. I plan to get the Unplugged moderate springs, I think I will like the aero wheels more once the gap is reduced and so I'd really like them to not squeak when I'm creeping.

Legion has it it is still rolling along to this very day!

I noticed it the second I started driving the car out of the delivery center. Someone said their car stopped doing it after about 2 weeks. So far I've had mine for 8 days (400 miles).

This is definitely not the result of any flakes and pebbles.

The easy solution would mean that I can PM you with details for where to pick up the car so that you can take it to get the Unplugged moderate springs installed and paid for on my behalf.

I hate the huge wheel well gap.

That's odd, my Model 3 has rear view mirror auto dimming, same as my side mirrors.

from reading the manual it sounds like you should be in Neutral, not Park. If the car is being pulled through the car wash (wheels are spinning) the electric motor can get damaged if it is in Park.Same scenario of you are getting it towed. Page 146 owners manual - This is described in the...

Oh right! Transport Mode. Page 146: Transport Mode keeps Model 3 in Neutral (which disengages the parking brake) while preventing damage to the rear motor as the wheels turn when pulling Model 3 onto a flatbed truck. To activate Transport Mode: 1. Shift into Park. 2. Chock the tires or otherwise...
