FYI just had the driver window switch module replaced in our 2018 M3 by Mobile Service for $58 in San Jose. Only took 25 min. So convenient. Of course, it shouldn't have broken in the first place, but at least getting it fixed was painless, fast and cheap! We pull up our driver window at least...

I'm on my second set of Michelin Primacy Tour A/S 18", the first set served me well...very quiet, good grip, great wet, and only a ~10% efficiency hit from the OEM Michelins. The first set lasted 40K miles (on a 55k tire), America's Tire got me a 25% credit warranty per tire. I'm very happy...

My father-in-law's 2020 Model S doesn't seem to have the Dashcam USB port in the glove box. Am I not looking in the right place? Where is it?

My wife's iPhone 12 seems to only work as a key when the app is open in the background. This wasn't the case before. Anybody else experience this?

Just got ours over the weekend. Ordered on 2/8, white on white with 19s, also in SoCal, vin 123,XXX. It's got the updated center console, which I was not expecting with that VIN. Good luck to you!

1000 mile update on my Primacy Tour AS: Better efficiency than the AS3+, but not as good as the OEM 18" MXM4. I'm getting about 250 wh/mile vs. 234 wh/mi with the MXM4 vs 267 wh/mi with the AS3+. The Tour AS is much, much quieter than the AS3+ but not quite as quiet as the MXM4. They...

As I posted earlier, after switching to the Michelin AS3+ my efficiency got worse, from 235 wh/mi to 267 wh/mi, but the computer still shows 310 miles when fully charged. However, in actuality I can only get about 240 miles with 8% remaining. I'll drive 100 actual miles and the computer shows...

After about 1000 miles on the AS 3+ my average Wh/mi is 265, about a 15% hit from the MXM4s, both @ 47 PSI. And I still notice the increased noise.

After 32k miles (with 3-4 mm left) on my oem MXM4s I went with the AS 3+ and America's Tire in Santa Clara. They were great, patient, helpful, quick/on-time, and fun. They waited on the phone 30 minutes to talk to a Michelin rep and was able to prorate my MXM4s for $55/tire! This is my first...

They just pop off. See page 4 of this thread.

no problems. much better visibility. Also, I set my mirrors to reduce blind spots, so I don't get the glare from cars directly behind me. https://www.cartalk.com/sites/default/files/features/mirrors/CarTalkMirrors.pdf

This will become a Hollywood glam truck, not for utility but image. Embarrassingly, I ordered one even though I don't need a truck, I just like giving Tesla my money. Model S check, Model 3 check, solar check, Powerwall 3*check.

BTW, my 2015 BMW i3 used physical braking to come to a complete stop. It was very seamless. You can hear them grip when the pads were wet.

If rebooting doesn't help, create a service request. Plays perfectly on my car.

Push both steering wheel buttons down for 5 seconds or until the screen goes black. We all know software with bugs, especially .0 releases. Tesla's generally pretty good about addressing, in time. In the meantime, reboot.

Maybe something going on with your display. Try viewing photos with heavy green.

That exact game looks fine in my car, windowed and full screen, no flickers.

@WilliamG, I just checked that same game and it looks fine in my car...windowed and full screen

@WilliamG, try a reboot

I too am "into" home theater. Just watched a bit of Incredibles 2 on Netflix...It sounds decent, but very likely two-channel Dolby Pro Logic with simulated surrounds, not even 2.1. A bit disappointed considering we have enough speakers for a 7.1 ATMOS setup, but maybe in some future...

For Spotify issues try rebooting. In fact, for any issues, try rebooting. I was able to lock up my entire dash playing too many Google Photos motion images. :) A quick reboot brought everything back, in fact my browser loaded right back to Google Photos after the reboot.

Try decreasing your Speed Limit Offset 1 or 2 MPH. I have mine set at 3 mph and have found this to decrease the # of false front collision alerts (based on my driving behavior). It might also decrease the likelihood of phantom braking since it's not been a problem for me. Of course, it will...

3 weeks after running my heat on high with the AC on and windows down for 20 minutes, twice within the same day...no more bad smell. Burned a few percent of battery (4% if I recall correctly), but at least it got rid of the sour smell. The other "trick" I've been doing now is to NOT manually...

Uh, same thread as the one you're reading... I was lazy, tried the "run the system on high heat for 20 minutes" trick and pleasantly surprised and carefully optimistic to find that it worked!

I ditto Phiier! Petrocelli, you are a class act. I think funner and funnest should become official words just because they are fun to say :)

Yes, S is quieter and smoother. ...sorry a bit late to the draw on that one :)

Read the first 4 pages, last I heard the OP is ordering in Nov. Congrats, I'm fairly positive you'll be happy...and if the car you get isn't up to your standards, return it! It's their fault, not yours, no need to feel guilty about it. Don't know if this was brought up, but free maintenance and...

21k mostly freeway miles with one small nick about 1/3 back of the hood. No PPF, but obsessive about not driving too close behind trucks without mudflaps.

My CO2 goes through the roof when in recirculate mode...I've measured 1600+ ppm from a 30 minute commute. Based on that, I would assume my M3's cabin is pretty tight, not MX tight, but it wasn't advertised to be. With that being said, I think this is a great idea that I'll likely buy, but I do...

I wish for a factory installed auto open/close trunk

3 fix-it tickets across 3 cars within 1 year, all while parked in SF. Prior to that, went 30+ years without a front plate or ticket in South Bay and So Cal.

Update: I now hear a different noise, a light thump when decell and accell, predominately from the rear driver side, and sometimes both rear sides. This have always been there, and masked by the louder click(s). We may have multiple problems at hand.

The Santa Clara SC removed my "wheels and cleaned the hubs". Click is gone. It seems like one of those maintenance issues they should advise customers and tire centers about since I was told this is a known issue that is easily avoided during tire rotations.

After settling, the mirrors regained some of their firmness against the mounting. But in any case, I'm no longer concerned since I haven't noticed any issues with image jiggling, including oncoming headlights at night.

Don't need to hold the brake pedal to reboot. You can even reboot while driving. No noises at all. Car delivered June'18.

Had a similar problem with hiss. SC just fixed it by replacing my MCU.

Okay, popped off the side mirrors to disconnect the dimmer, but now they don't reattach as securely. They are definitely attached, requiring just as much force to get back off, however, they now wiggle a little. Any pro tips on how to attach them as securely as factory?

SC told me it'll cost $175 to fix and they'll apply Dynamat. It's a noise issue so not covered.

Mine charged to 326 miles.

Just got 5.15 on my RWD LR...coming from 49. Yes, it added Sentry Mode. As for the dash cam, it records the front camera and two front fender rear-side facing cameras. It also bumped my range to 325 on a full charge, and added the blind-spot warning chime..it warns when leaving your lane...

3 fix-it tickets across 3 cars in 3 years ever since parking in SF. The SJ officer told me that 90% of her 150+ sign-offs/week came from SF.

I barely hear the typical "shhh" sounds when driving on wet roads. In fact, I hear light rain more than ground water. I'm always taken aback by the quietness. Is it the tire insert causing this? Have others noticed?

+1 to a few... + Steering wheel tug the opposite direction when making an obstructed lane change...not just in the blind spot

Great lap! Nice pass on a P!

With the all-glass top and high roofline, the mic might be too high up...catching too much of the fluctuating wind and light rainfall noise. Perhaps closer the center armrest or headrests might be better suited for this car?

There's so many approaches to software development that we can't speculate on what's going on behind the scenes at Tesla. I'm just grateful for Tesla's continued, disciplined, and creative development. And as long as it's tested properly before it gets to the me, I'd take this over the model...

This so great, I had my teenage son climbing further out of the open window with each "emission"!

Get glass protection with your insurance. I'm with Farmers in the South Bay and it only costs $14/year for a $50 deductible.
