I recently had someone claimed I caused an accident which I was not aware of. I tried to view my TeslaCam clipping and found that the saved clips seemed to have saved everyday the month of September, a few days at the beginning of October and then jumped to Nov 22 and Nov 23. Unfortunately I...

LOL. I got you guys to read my post, didn't I? Two points in the contents. Tesla left a windshield washer hose unconnected and delivered the car. They use high stain washer and that dripped on my garage floor that won't remove. Btw, don't you guys have been things to do but to argue about the...

I had a mobile service done in my garage because the driver side washer does not squirt fluid. Service tech pressed the stick a few times and quickly diagnosed the assembly folk did not connect the fluid hose. Push it in and it worked immediately. Easy fix. However, after I backed out the car, I...

For goodness sake. There is no excuse for a car manufacturer to put replaceable component deeply behind panels like this. Sounded like Tesla wants to generate revenue by making this a service trip instead of a DYI. Sighs!!

I think not. I traded in my MS after spoken with the rep at a showroom. I gave her my referral code to obtain my 1000 supercharge hour and proceeded placing my order for a 2019 M3. After delivery and I looked high and low and found nowhere I got the 1000 free charging miles. I emailed "Customer...

Yes, it can be reset but still pondering why the discrepancy between my analog professional gauge vs. the Tesla TPMS.

it has been over a month since I took delivery of the LR AWD with 19 inch wheels and I got low tire pressure warnings several time saying my tires were 38 and 39 when I measured them to be all at 45 psi. It is annoying because the TPMS is way off. Is this a software or hardware glitch?

Sorry if this question was asked before. What is the resolution of the Dash Cam video. With external Dash Cam so cheap, is it better to just suck one on the windshield instead?

Got mine June 29. Have been looking for issues described by some of the postings. Did not find any, yet. One of the door rubber seals was pinched and I just pulled it out. Otherwise, the car seems perfectly put together. I said "seems" because I have not washed it yet. Usually I will notice...

I just received my first software update on my LR AWD and it is showing 2019.15.104.1. My friend's M3 has software version 2019.20.xxxx. I thought the software versions are universal. How come there is a difference?

After I lowered my tire pressure to 45 psi, now a window came out showing all my 4 tires pressure as 39 psi. I released the pressure while all 4 tires were cold. So, why the discrepancy? The window would not go away. How do I make it disappear? Thanks.

I remember when I took delivery of my S a few years back, it was the same. I simply forgot to check this one right away. I dropped the pressure to 44. Now I am dealing with a rattle sound coming from behind the rear view mirror. I suspect it comes from the camera cover. Sounds like a loose screw...

I have been driving my M3 LRAWD for a few days. What I noticed most is it is very bumpy and it seems to ride hard. So I decided to check the tire pressure. All four tires (19 inch) registered 50 PSI. The door sticker shows a recommended pressure of 42. Why did Tesla deliver car with incorrect...

Well, if the car is safer, I assume the chance it causes an accident is lower. My insurance will pay for damage if My car is at fault. For accidents caused by others and I have no control, my insurance will go after the culprit party’s insurance and my insurance does not pay a dime. So, the...

I know aluminum repair costs more than steel. I could see the different hourly rates in the body shop. But if I total a M3 and my insurance pays me a replacement claim, it would cost them, say $54,000 plus or minus. If I totaled my Audi S6, they probably have to pay me close to that much since...

I just took delivery of a M3, LRAWD and updated my auto insurance. It is kinda a sticker shock to find insuring the M3 cost much more than my Audi S6, a V8 turbo. Collision coverage is exactly double that of the Audi's which does not have Autopilot features. So, despite all the claims about...

Thank you. I will give it a try.

I just traded a 2014 MS 85 with first gen AP and 53,000 on the odo for a 19 M3 LRAWD. Tesla offered $30K and CarMax offered $28K. I think Tesla will never beat the resale value of a Japanese car. I used to drive Bimmers and their resale value is horrible. I think that goes for all European cars...

Thank you. In Seattle, you may need rainproof (jk). For $40, I think it is a good investment.

I am seeing a lot of soundproof door seal products for M3 on Amazon. Do they work or need? There are so many add-ons you can buy for the M3. I am sure many are for fun and for reason to spend money. Two of the products I think may be practical. 1. Soundproof seal, if it work or necessary. 2. Sun...

What is Sentry mode? I took delivery of my M3 last Saturday and no one mentioned to me about Sentry mode and how to operate it.

Thank you. As I started to drive the new M3 and compared to my 2014 MS, I would say it handles better (may be bc of the dual motors). For my MS, when I accelerate, the car tended to push to the side a little bit. I actually had to have a fix before when the MS would move to the right when I...

I took delivery for a LRDual Motors M3 yesterday and was looking for the HomeLink icon high and low and not seeing it. Now I realized it is an option. What bugs me is when I built my car, I did not see it as an option to add. It is a nice to have. Now back to my good old clicker.

I got one exactly like yours with dual motors. I heard about door seal leakage issue. May not realize that for a while because CA does not rain like Seattle.

I took delivery yesterday and last night the DC sent me a PDF detailing how to apply for the CA Tax Credit, HOV sticker etc. with the links included. That was went I found out if one qualifies for the Clean Vehicle Rebate (CA), one cannot apply for the HOV sticker. Did I read it correctly?

I ordered a M3 early June after decided to trade in my aging MS with V1 AP. I started reading on the forum about the horror stories about delivery center dilemma and quality issues such as cracked windshield, rough paint job, misaligned panel. Needless to say, on the delivery day I was having...

I have been backing my MS into parking space ever since the self lowering glitch ripped my front bumper off. That's a better reason of backing in.

I am with you. KNX1070 is my favorite in the morning.

Thanks.

I have ordered a M3 and I am reading the posts about defects of the vehicle on delivery. It would be nice if there is a check-list for all the defects the owners experienced on delivery so that we can pay more attention to them when picking up the vehicle.

I am not hearing any serious concerns of the steering fails when driving in highway speed in the middle of traffic. Will that happen? How do we get the car safely off the highway? Or when the car is still in motion, steering is easier than when the car is in a dead stop?

It is so sad after so many years Tesla has not gotten the acts together. Drive by wire is dangerous when there is no redundancy. When the computer decides to quit when the car is in motion, you never know when it will stop or where. I have be tinkling with the idea of trading my 14 with AP1 to a...

I have AP1 and driving AP on HOV lane gave me a few scary moment because there is no much shoulder to the concrete divider. I also had my MS swerved off cross the lane. So, I don’t use AP any longer. May be the latest version is better but I don’t intend to buy another one.

Totally agreed. Folks have invested in the company are bias and tried to defend a bad business operation with excuses.

Elon promised a lot and had hard time delivering. It is evident that service had deteriorated over the years unless one never had to bring the vehicle back for service. Production is an income source, service is money drain especially for warranty repairs. It is simple math.

That should work but it looks like it is for an Odyssey. How do you compensate for the drag coefficient loss?

Better get used to the slow or no responses and worsen service gaps. Tesla has been cutting cost like crazy and the laying off of 7% of their labor will only add to more non-response, longer wait for services, reduction in what we enjoyed like loaner car a few years ago. Thinking you can driving...

Here is a picture of my invention of a right side mirror. It helped a bit especially at night when I need to change lane. Why do I have that? No parts. It has been a month after my wife knocked out the mirror while backing out of the garage. At least I did not blame it on the summon function...

Mine has been doing that since day 1. I remember asking the service guy about that a few years back and got a vague answer. I think that is responsible for the vampire drain that other threads that folks are posting. If you leave your car parked for a period of time, it will die eventually due...

We recently switched our phones to a iPhone Xr and Xs instead of a 6 plus and Google Pixel 2. We have since unable to get our 2014 Model S to pair with either phone. Model S sees the phone and the phone sees Model S but Pairing has been unsuccessful. Anyone had the similar issue?

I owned my Model S for 4 years and it is no more problematic than BMW or MBZ. My issues are all with the post sale service and the availability of parts. I am driving it with no right side mirror since my wife knocked it out on the garage side. An appointment to get an estimate is a month away...

I almost forgot this problem and pulled over a curb again since it is my wife’s car and I drive it occasionally. Anyway, Tesla should cover the cost to repair. Insurance company is not happy to pay for the repair and they will charge you your deductible. The pain is you must wait weeks for the...

This is a known problem that Tesla won't admit. It is still happening and I have to be very careful not to pull the car in or back in a space. Mine took a month to repair luckily covered by good will repair.

I had a flat on my Model S. Apparently Southern Cal Service Center could not get replacement citing a month b.o. I purchase online from Tire Rack which shipped the tire overnite, free shipping, no sales tax for $215. Got it mounted at Pep Boy (recommended by TireRack) for $21.

Recently at Costa Mesa service center and took this picture across the street. Judging the dust on these cars, you can guess how long these cars were left in the street collecting dust waiting for service. Shame on you, Elon.

There have been way too many horror stories of “no parts”. All Tesla is interested in is to sell more cars once you bought them, you are on your own. In the long run, folks will learn about this and will stay away from the brand. It is corporate suicide.

Good luck. I was told this no loaner situation will spread to the rest of the country obviously the busiest SC first. It was called a growing pain except Tesla is growing and we feel the pain. I have all but given up trading mine for another one not because it is a bad car but because it is a...

LOL. Did you get the bumper replaced? May be you took mine what was supposed to be ordered for me since July. I just posted an update.
