    2024 Model 3 RWD vibrations at highway speed - is this an issue for others?

    Picked up our 2024 M3RWD March 16 and absolutely no problems. GREAT car! Hope you get your situation resolved.

    Why does my M3 do this (re: braking)?

    Hi Mike. I have had pretty much the same situation with all of my Teslas. (I have had eight so far.) Accordingly, I thought it was normal. To be honest, though, I haven't paid close attention to it as far as specific off ramps are concerned. I will keep a better eye on it and see if I can see...

    New Model 3LR delivery mystery

    We ordered a Highland M3LR the second week of January with a projected delivery date of Jan-Feb. The delivery date has been extended several times and is now projected as late as May. Delivery waits and reschedules aren’t a new thing for us, as we have had seven Teslas over the years and this...

    Can you give me the contact email address you used, if you still have it? Thanks.

    Tesla owes me a refund, and my Registration is late

    Actually I found the car already registered on the Az MVD web site and so I registered for personalized plates, which I was going to do anyhow. That takes Tesla out of the loop and now I have a new registration and will soon have have the personalized plates directly from the MVD. But, of...

    Do you know how to contact them?

    Tesla owes me a refund, and my Registration is late

    Thanks for your reply. It's kind of funny because the salesperson I spoke with (William) said the check might even be in my mailbox before I got home from picking up the car. Of course I didn't believe him but...4-6 weeks?! Seems pretty bad doesn't it?! The other thing that concerns me though...

    Tesla owes me a refund, and my Registration is late

    It has been more than 6 weeks and still no license plates. Any idea how to get Tesla's attention?

    Someone rear-ended and Totaled my beloved Model 3, sharing my experience, DO NOT make the same mistake I did.

    Kudos for the time and effort you expended on our behalf! And thank you very much.

    Incorrect Tesla sales strategy?

    Yes been there done that a few times. Fairly good approach. This is a little different animal though.

    Incorrect Tesla sales strategy?

    June 30, 2023 I think most of us are very aware that Tesla is trying to close out the second quarter with a bang. As a stockholder, I certainly endorse the strategy. Unfortunately, I think they have a blind eye in one particular area that I would like to mention. There is a vehicle in...

    2023 Model X versus early 2022 Model X build quality

    There has been a lot in the forum about this problem. In my case, the sensor mount on the starboard falcon wing door was not firmly attached when the car was manufactured and so it was not getting reliable signals. What seems to be the case is that some of the tripods that hold the sensors in...

    Model X Refresh driver side doors sensing obstruction that isn't there....

    Sorry to hear it. When I watched my (VERY meticulous) mobile tech do the repair I was struck by how careful he had to be to get it right. For example, when he re-glued the tripod legs he held a metered pressure for an exact amount of time, as prescribed in the repair instructions. I'd never seen...

    Model X Refresh driver side doors sensing obstruction that isn't there....

    Yep. Pretty sure you're on the right track. The good news is that, once the anchor points of the tripod are secure you'll probably be fine.

    Model X Refresh driver side doors sensing obstruction that isn't there....

    Funny thing. When I had the same problem you are describing, with my 2023 model X, I went to the detail shop and had them remove the wrap on my own. Did not fix a thing. After really digging into the whole situation (see my former posts) I determined that the problem really was a factory...

    Model X Refresh driver side doors sensing obstruction that isn't there....

    Our problem was fixed by mobile service. Initially they requested that I bring the car in to Phoenix, which is about a 2 hour drive from where we live, and after I explained that I would really appreciate not having to do that, they accommodated me quite nicely. All in all, I'm really quite...

    Model X Refresh driver side doors sensing obstruction that isn't there....

    Wow, sure sorry you are having the problem over and over. Mine was fixed the first time but it was very exacting and not easy. No good to speculate what they are doing or not doing, but if I were to guess, I would say they're not following the proper procedure. Mine was fixed the first time and...

    Model X Refresh driver side doors sensing obstruction that isn't there....

    Right smack in the middle of the falcon wing door and it controls both the falcon wing door and the passenger door openings.

    Model X Refresh driver side doors sensing obstruction that isn't there....

    Yes, mine was intermittent. The (excellent) tech that repaired mine explained that the factory installation had one leg of the tripod on some type of felt paper (versus being firmly attached to the metal door interior) and speculated that it was moving just enough from vibration to create the...

    Model X Refresh driver side doors sensing obstruction that isn't there....

    Justin, You have a loose tripod support inside your port falcon wing door. That is the apparatus that holds the sensor. Not sure why it's still bad after your recent maintenance but that's most likely the culprit.

    Unpredictable Gull Wing doors

    Problem solved... Tesla mobile service just finished repairs this morning. (Bless them!!!) Turns out that the sensor mount on the starboard falcon wing door was not firmly attached when the car was manufactured and so it was not getting reliable signals. It was really quite the complex repair...

    Unpredictable Gull Wing doors

    Thanks for checking on that one, Herbert. We are actually closest to Scottsdale service but it's nice to know that Glendale had a successful repair.

    It's always beautiful in Prescott, Bruce. Just kidding of course. Thanks for the insight but I don't think temperature is a factor in the situation.

    Unpredictable Gull Wing doors

    Thanks for the reply. I will definitely pursue that course of action. You don't by chance have the diagnosis on the work order do you?

    Unpredictable Gull Wing doors

    UPDATE - After studying the problem I little bit more and after looking at some really good videos I have determined that perhaps the real problem is that the starboard gull wing door indicates an obstruction. It wasn't cleared with a reboot so it seems that, either it has a defective sensor, or...

    Unpredictable Gull Wing doors

    We just picked up our 2023 Model X a couple of weeks ago. This is our second Model X and our fifth Tesla. Everything is really positive and there are many improvements that we really appreciate. The only problem we have is that the gull wing doors seem to have a mind of their own. These problems...

    Car disconnects from Tesla app

    Well it "broke". It is not connected this morning. I reported this to Tesla Service and they say that "it appears to be an issue when the vehicle sleeps" and that they are probably going to "elevate it to engineering". They went on to say that some customers have reported that "enabling Sentry...

    Car disconnects from Tesla app

    Final update!!! - The Tesla Service center contacted me this morning and verified what was going on, downloaded the files from the car and just now finished uploading a new software update which solved the problem! So far, at least, everything seems to be working just like it should be!

    Car disconnects from Tesla app

    Update. I went ahead and scheduled a service call for tomorrow October 3 but Tesla contacted me today and advised me that they are pretty sure this is a software issue that they need to work on. That is pretty much what I have been thinking it is so I am glad they are doing that and I will let...

    Car disconnects from Tesla app

    Of course there is a distinct noise which I thought had been there 'forever' and I just pegged as a pedestrian warning? And it's only operable when you fire the old buggy up so I never considered it as a problem/nuisance. Am I missing something?

    Your comment, "This behavior was new within the last update or two. Never had this happen before as long as the "Always Connected" option was enabled which I always do", seems to pretty much describe our experience. Everything else seems to check out so I guess we just hope that there is a...

    Car disconnects from Tesla app

    We have a 2021 Model S refresh, LR. We have had it for just about a year now and it has been a great car. We have a new development that we are having some difficulty understanding though. We use an iPhone 13 and an Apple Watch 7, both using LTE and Wi-Fi to communicate with the car. Until about...

    1 week old Model X plaid suspension faults and other issues

    Sorry for your experience. The good news, at least for me, is that the mobile service (usually for pretty minor repairs) has been great! Good luck!

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I have a new 2021 model S I took delivery of the last day of September. I am not in the EAP program. Any idea whether I will eventually get the active noise reduction feature? I just downloaded 2021.40.6 and it says I have it.
