    2022.20

    Just one more data point for you- I'm stuck with the latest update at 50% for a couple hours now. I found your post and tried unplugging- no joy. I've also tried unlpugging both my USB sticks, trying hotspot vs router, restarted several times, turned off the car completely. Nothing. I guess...

    Help with Model 3 FSD/camera issue?

    I'm in the exact same boat- even same car. 2018 performance stealth, 65k miles. Please update this thread if you get a decent resolution.

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    Just found a possible workaround until I get an integrated solution. Did some googling and found an Australian app called Tesla for Windows that looks like it will keep the car awake for up to 12 hours at a shot- obviously use at your own risk... I haven't tried this and don't know the...

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    That sounds great- any chance you know of a command-line type option I could call from SentryKeeper to do that? If there's something I can call directly rather than have to learn all the ins and outs of the Tesla API it would save me a ton of time and I don't think I'm going to be tackling...

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    Sorry guys- I'm finally getting back to this. I assumed Tesla would have a better solution to the sentry event alerts by now, but I really don't like their implementation so far, so I'm going to roll my own. I'm planning on giving an option to open a google map with the exact coordinates of...

    Model 3 LR Battery Size. What am I missing?

    So you think every forum member should read dozens and dozens of pages of every master thread so everyone knows everything that is in those sections? How about this as a follow up question- is there a way to search on just a single topic? That would help, but I didn't seem to find a way to...

    Thanks, guys- exactly the information I was after!

    Model 3 LR Battery Size. What am I missing?

    Am I the only one that finds master threads to be exhausting to try to comb through? I'd rather just drop this topic. Sorry I posted it.

    I have a Model 3 that will not Charge

    I had a similar situation once when the battery was low and cold soaked. It took about an hour of it being plugged in at 240v in order for the battery to warm up and begin accepting a charge. Even then it started very slowly. Once the battery was heated up life was good again. *Edit...

    Model 3 LR Battery Size. What am I missing?

    But they explicitly state in the link it's 250 wh/mile? The math isn't adding up.

    Model 3 LR Battery Size. What am I missing?

    I tried to find some information on this before I posted, but feel free to send me a link to this answer. The EPA currently says the Model 3 LR has 353 miles of total range. It also says the car use 25 kwh/100 miles or 250 wh/mile. https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=sbs&id=43401...

    DIY Rear Diffuser replacement for tow hitch?

    I recently had a stealth hitch installed in my car and was hoping the rear-diffuser panel would be in on time but it came late. Has anyone ever replaced one themselves?

    Mobile service is currently unavailable

    Can someone confirm that mobile service can't be scheduled at the moment? I want to make sure it's not my account- won't let me into the 1st screen.

    Winter charging issues, frozen charge ports, road trips

    If you have more than 50% remaining in your battery or if the battery is very cold, this can happen. The charge rate slows as the battery is filled.

    EA, CCS, Chademo- do any stations currently work reliably?

    I was browsing comments on the plugshare app yesterday and noticed that almost all the EA station comments say that CCS and Chademo stations don't work- I have yet to find a comment about fast charging working at all. Has anyone actually had more than 50kw work at one of these stations?

    So what do you guys think of FSD Beta?

    My expectations were very low based on how little my FSD has changed in the last 2 years, but I think this is a game changer, actually. The number of advanced features in this single release finally makes me think FSD may actually be viable within a couple of years.

    New tires killed my range (20-30% decrease)

    I should have also mentioned they appear to have far better lifespan. I've got 15k on them and they still look nearly new. My MXM's were pretty beat up by 20k. Edit: But I haven't been drag racing with them- *might* make a difference :)

    New tires killed my range (20-30% decrease)

    I went with Continental Extreme Contact all season- and have had better wh/m than the stock mxm. They're also much quieter, though they're not quite as grippy. Also super happy with Michelin X-Ice for winters- way, way better in snow.

    AP step back with both 2020.32.3 and 2020.36.10

    Just one data point, but since the 36.x versions, I've had phantom braking just slam me into the seat belt- seems even more aggressive than in the past. I was really hoping the speed limit sign reading would help, but no luck there. It does work nicely in town though.

    Sync Messages option keeps turning off

    Mine was just off again. For curiousity, I just tried turning the car off through the control panel and back on- settings were fine. I also did the full restart (brake, both buttons and hold until the T logo appears)- settings were fine. I did have a recent software upgrade so maybe that's it.

    Sync Messages option keeps turning off

    This works for a while, but mine started doing it again after this process

    Dirty sock/mildew scent

    Is it just me or does the automatic setting always revert to recirculate? I have to frequently shut off the recirculate option- would be nice to have a preference option on that.

    Lifetime supercharging changed to pay per use- update

    Aaaaaand, it's back to pay per use again. Not shocked. As long as I still don't get charged not a big deal.

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    Interesting- this is not happening me. I suggest seeing if you can download an update to Windows Media Player for Win 7 to see if that helps.

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention- I certainly will, as soon as I get the update that includes this. I'm getting HW3 next week so hopefully that will happen at the same time.

    How to remove the odor / mold smell from your AC

    Yep, I just noticed mine doing this again also, but since I'm driving about 3 miles a week now, not surprised. Definitely seems like there should be an option to run the AC after putting in park for 30 minutes or something to dry it out.

    Lifetime supercharging changed to pay per use- update

    Thanks for the bump- me too! Although it showed this once before so we'll see if it's permanent or not.

    Lifetime supercharging changed to pay per use- update

    This is my exact situation. For a company that is trying to use software to autonomously drive cars, doesn't it seem like this should be easily tracked down? I guess they have bigger fish to fry but it's certainly annoying.

    Lifetime supercharging changed to pay per use- update

    So you claim Tesla's IT department does not do development for the website? I worked for a couple of very large corporations who both had their main IT departments maintain the website. I guess since neither of us work for Tesla, we may not be able to answer that definitively, but someone...

    Long term(ish) Model 3 owners, how reliable has the car been to you?

    Oct 2018, 37k miles, stealth P3d. Top glass cracked on the heating element replaced for free. Tires went after 25k miles, but I've done a few track drag races and every stop light is an adventure. Front windshield seems prone to pitting. Paint is meh. Possibly best money I ever spent...

    Should I buy TM3 or wait for TMY? (EU)

    If you need storage over sportyness, get the Y if you don't care either way, I say get the 3- it's more efficient and I think looks much sleeker, but to each their own.

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    I just added the left-right camera swap function. I already had it in the merge video function, so I moved the preferences swap option to the general area. If you check this it will swap both the preview and the merged video cameras.

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    So the in-car viewing is awesome but pretty basic. When I had heard they were adding this function I assumed SentryKeeper's days were numbered, but I'm thinking there may still be some room for updates. Anyone have suggestions for features they would like to see? One thing I'm planning on...

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    Just try uninstalling, then re-install. If that doesn't help, start a command prompt with administrator privileges and type this in: regsvr32 c:\windows\syswow64\comdlg32.ocx If it says successful, try it again.

    WTB: set of 18" aeros near Madison ,Wisconsin with summer or all-season tires

    I live in Madison and it's nearly time to swap out my snow tires. I'd like to buy a 2nd set of 18" Model 3 wheels. Let me know if you're within a few hours drive or willing to meet me partway.

    Wisconsin to Key West road trip

    I also accidentally discovered that the level 2 Tesla chargers at hotels may be set up as shared power as well. I pulled into a hotel in Murfreesburo TN that had 12(!!!) L2 chargers and there was 1 other Model 3 so I parked right next to him just for solidarity. However when I plugged in I...

    Wisconsin to Key West road trip

    It was Key Largo Kampground. It had a 110v that kept the HVAC running all night with no range loss (but no range gain either) We did the Pennekamp snorkling trip- awesome!

    Wisconsin to Key West road trip

    Thought I'd share a brief note on our road trip from Wisconsin to Key West, Florida It was a lot of fun and the best part from a Tesla owner's perspective was how ordinary it was. No problems charging and we found several hotels with level 2 chargers all the way down and back. The downtown...

    This truck design had better be a joke....

    I literally liked every single mock-up design more than the real one and that was a low bar.

    Specs are great. Design is like a squared off Delorean. Horrible.

    Help me decide Stealth vs P3D+

    I have a stealth. I didn't see anyone mention this, but the low profile tires and potholes don't mix. I nailed a pothole with my stealth so hard the aero flew off, but the wheel was (nearly) undamaged. There was a very slight dent, but the tire maintains pressure and no vibration or any...
