Mine are the ones that have the hook side of velcro on them. They almost work *too* well on the carpet in the model 3 trunk. It's kinda pulling up the threads a bit. Still worth it. Those things are so damn handy.

I have some of the CarGo blocks that I had gotten with my VW to hold things in place. We have a small yard and a working mower. Totally not worth it. I literally fill a can once a season.

I've done it when I had to fill a gas can for my lawn mower...

Yeah, I've seen this mentioned all the way back to ancient threads on it, but I've never been able to make it work. The impression I got from more recent discussions is that the slacker web interface doesn't let you do that anymore. "Starring" them doesn't add them to it.

Right, but we're talking about *stations*, not *playlists*. I don't want to manually make a bunch of playlists, I'd rather the algorithmically generated ones show up in the Tesla UI, but I guess they don't support it.

Oh wow, so they've added Track Mode and Pac Man Mode in the same update? What a deal!

My only real close call was heading to Asheville, NC to go camping. Since fall color season had started, no campgrounds had any reserved spaces left, but most keep a number of spots open for walk-ups. Our campsite of choice was full when we got there, but they said "we just talked to Pisgah...

No joke, these are stupid expensive but amazing.

I was in the mountains recently camping and headed out in the morning to leave. Temperature had dipped into the 40s overnight but was 60-something by the time I was driving but I still had reduced regen.

The nice thing about the Ubiquiti routers is that you can have them wired to create an extended network, rather than creating a mesh or wirelessly extending. The downside to extenders and mesh stuff is that you lose bandwidth to the "extending" APs needing to talk to each other and/or the...

I wouldn't expect so, mine happened over a month ago when I was on 18.32.2 and I still haven't gotten V9 yet. But it's not like Tesla says much about such things, so who knows? I can say I have done a number of big road trips since and haven't seen it again. It does seem likely that the car...

Good idea, though there's already a similar project :) Latest Tesla Feature Requests

I've had this happen, there was a discussion about it on the official Tesla forums... Error “power reduced- exit and re-enter car- may restore operation | Tesla I don't know if it was a general response or a response to my car specifically, but the person I reached on the support line said it...

I just went out of town last weekend so my wife didn't want to install the update while I was gone. She ignored it or told it to delay for quite a while and then said it didn't ask the last few times. I got in the car this morning and it offered it up again and I updated to 36.2. Maybe try...

Make sure you tell your rep. A couple of days before my deliver I said off hand, "I assume since you're taking my trade-in you'll just move my plate over" and they went "You told us just in time, we have to file things differently to do a plate transfer." They wanted a photo of the plate.

I had a similar problem when I updated to .32 but I re-paired my phone with it and haven't had a problem since. Maybe a placebo effect, but I've seen other reports of needing to re-pair on updates occasionally.

What's a lane dart?

I was actually pleasantly surprised to find that not only was my current insurance company (State Farm) one of my lowest quotes, it really wasn't that much more than my previous insurance for my 2012 Civic. Must just really depend on what you get from who.

FYI, I had "Power reduced: Exiting and re-entering vehicle may restore operation." pop up this weekend on 2018.32.2, so it's not a version-specific error. I happened to get it on the highway a mile from a supercharger so I pulled off, got out and back in, and the warning went away. Decided to...

It has been like this since I got the update last Thursday, and the iOS app update only came for me yesterday. It definitely coincides with installing 32.2. Happened immediately after upgrade when I went to go check on it, and repeatedly all weekend as I used the car.

I went from 28.2 to 32.2 and now phone unlock is way too slow to detect my proximity. Used to work 100% of the time (iPhone X) and now about half the time I walk up to my car and try to open the door it's still locked. Pretty huge regression for me. :(

Yeah, I have the same habit and I'm pretty sure I'll never break it, so I guess I'll just hear beeps until I die. ;)

I've seen plenty of reports of this working on S/X, but it's not in my 3. I'll try logging out and back in but I'm definitely on my own Slacker account.

I tried upgrading to Slacker premium and then created a bunch of playlists mirroring my favorite Pandora stations on the web site. As far as I can tell, they don't carry over to the car, or if they do, they don't keep their names and such. I'll probably just drop back down to the account that...

Personally, I previously had a reasonably-well-optioned VW Jetta, but I traded it for a Civic for the year or two until my M3 was ready because I wanted my extra blood money from VW for Dieselgate while the gettin' was hot. ;) I wonder how many others basically went for something that got good...

I wish mine had been delivered by him so I'd have a chance to beg him personally to stop posting to twitter. ;)

Ah, turns out it's because I had a service appointment for a tire rotation. The tech said there was also a bulletin for a BMS update that came in 2018.24.7 and it was supposed to be ready to update before he came today. Since I already had 26.1 it triggered again automatically, and then he...

I got this update. And now I've gotten it again twice more. I run the upgrade and it comes back as 2018.16.1 still. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Seconded. I just did a 2500-mile round-trip NC to MN and back, with the 2nd half coming home happening after the update, including crossing the Appalachians. EAP was engaged easily 80% of my drive, if not more. The update made basically 0 practical difference for me. I kept my hands resting...

What I mean is, by default, the "max" speed when TACC and AutoPilot is off is the speed of the road I'm on. So if I'm on a highway that's stopped and turn on autopilot so I can let it deal with the stop & go traffic then it will enable with my max speed set to 70 or whatever. It is, of course...

...because it's already set based on the speed limit of the road you're on?

I was wondering the same thing and finally got an email almost a month after I took posession of the car from Chase saying, "online services at your fingertips" and when I logged into my Chase account it already showed. I assume if you already have a Chase account they hook it up automatically...

I am a new Tesla owner and I made the drive from Raleigh to Orlando and it was a breeze. I don't think we even really stopped any less than we would have anyways to stretch and go to the bathroom. And since the M3 is long range, stopping at (almost) every supercharger meant quick in and out...

Of course, we already have something similar (Snopes) but all it took was enough people labeling it untrustworthy and you're back where you started. People are going to confirm their own biases, regardless.

Sorry for the junior moderating, but can we make a separate "2018 Investor Beef Rap Battle & Twitter Throwdown" thread for everyone's favorite ad hominems and get back to, well, any other topic?

Yeah, my car had basically no issues. 4/18 build, 130xx VIN. Still having a freakin' blast driving it!

Right, but I have created a number of custom stations that are based on multiple artists. I can't see them from the car UI...

Just waking this thread up. Has anyone figured out how to add custom stations to the UI with the latest slacker web UI? All the recommendations I've seen are that you should "hit the 3-dots and add the custom station to 'My Music'" but I don't see that option anymore.

Not yet, unless you're at a service center, or sniffing cellular traffic. Model 3 can't configure WiFi yet. ;)

Yeah, I had basically 0 issues (VIN #130xx) on my pickup Thursday. I had a gigantic checklist put together from various other ones I'd seen on here and elsewhere, and it turns out it was obsessive overkill. Fit & finish looks great everywhere, nothing was out of place, everything's working...

Yeah. It was "good enough" that I wasn't going to go through the trouble of selling myself. Especially with the PITA that is dealing with plate transfer not in one transaction in NC.

Huh, yeah, I got my confirmation and trade-in-value estimate within 24 hours of finishing out the survey from the SMS link.

I use Page Monitor for Chrome and it lit up green as soon as my VIN was there.

Now, if we all 4-like, 2-informative, and 1-funny THIS post, lupend88 will get a VIN 1 day after configuring!

Early in line in Raleigh, NC, 3/31/2016, configured 3/22/2018, got my VIN today, 130xx Red/AP/Aero

Ohhhhh, so that's where he got the "like a spaceship" idea. "It's like space, without all the stars."* * (deep cut, from the Spinal Tap audio commentary)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's where we're at now. Raleigh doesn't have a ton of capacity so we're getting them in dribbles. Fingers crossed for a VIN assignment soon but the estimator has my production starting in the next week or so and delivery in the latter half of April, so I'm not gonna...

In theory, you could get paid back. In practice, basically every other investor is ahead of us in line to get money if Tesla were to be liquidated so chances are there would be nothing left by the time they get to paying us back.
