Last fall, tried both of Tesla’s recommendations for thumb drives and got repeated warnings of slow write speeds. Only an SSD has worked for me.

Profit taking?

Yes, looks like I have HW3. Turned on FSD Preview and now see the signs and lights in the visualization. Thanks. Time to sit in the car, put on some music, and play with the menus again.

I only get traffic cones; no stop lights or signs. I’m too chicken to leave AP engaged as I approach stop signs or lights.

Me neither. This is the only regret that I have about waiting 6 mos to buy. But I have HW3! (maybe?)

Wanna trade?

Have Everything, Everything play seamlessly from USB drive so it actually sounds like a rave. In fact, all my album files pause before the next track begins; and I don’t like it.

Proper usb implementation that doesn’t result in a notification that “some clips were not saved” and that I should use a thumb drive that is fast enough (yes, I already do) for TeslaCam.

I don’t, and I couldn’t find a link. So therefore I will gladly hijack this thread and tell you that I applied 3M silicone paste dielectric grease in an extremely thin layer at the top of my window and at the base where the window meets the external seal. last ice storm hobbled window...

Nobody “put you in your place.” They just want to give you good advice. With declining reimbursement, private equity devouring private practices, rumblings about Medicare for All and continued rising debt for medical graduates, money management will be critical for you. That’s true whether...

So true! Family member in town for Thanksgiving after driving my Model 3 for the first time: “You’ve talked and talked about what a great car it is, but you never told me how much fun it is to drive!” “I also really like the regenerative braking.” (Shakes their head in amazement when I tell...

? I think that was pretty perceptive on RC2785’s part. The story is probably an interesting one, with a team facing a deadline and making one-off body panels, designing them by committee (or diktat). How did they fashion parallelogram holes in non-model S doors? Was this part of the car mostly...

iPhone 6S plus. This has been an intermittent issue for me. I’ll go for long stretches (weeks) without trouble, then a whole day of difficulty getting the car to unlock. I always have the phone in my front pants pocket, inverted and facing me. Sometimes pinching the phone’s power button through...

Agree with you that this design has an issue. I thought “uh oh“ when I pushed and it didn’t move because of the ice.

This started some time this summer. I noticed that I would have to cancel nav to work on weekends. It also would sometimes assume that I was going home from a destination when I was going to multiple shopping stops. Tell you what is new, definitely didn’t have graphical traffic cones until this...

Not sure that this is entirely about buckets. Water can travel 100’ and further up an oak tree. Capillary action will always win.

Yes, had to add another panel in the basement because the original was full. Then ran a 100A service line to the garage and terminated it in another panel so that we can add another HPWC later. You should see the gauge of these service lines: huge. Hired a pro from a company that has done...

Got the triple whammy of frozen handle (just pushed harder), window stuck (cried a little, then messed with the button until it went back up) and... Driver-side mirror partially unfolded and wouldn’t stay extended, and it went “BANG.“ Drove home with an enlarged blind spot on icy roads. Tried...

At 9:32 camera pans left: factory recedes into the distance without end..

Reading the comments, I can appreciate the sentiments. I remember what it was like to consider ICEs before I bought my dual motor 3. I, too, had the Macan Turbo and the X3 m40i on my short list. Fast forward 7 months and I really have no interest in buying another gas-burning vehicle. Sick of...

My impression is that the service advisors have been spot on. I would not sweat a November order. Is there something that has concerned you about your Model 3 order?

God, I love this zombie thread. You could sit your adolescent child down at a desk and have them read it all. They might stand up 2 hours later a more worldly and better person. It’s a sort of book of everything: free market (with some incentives thrown in), the idea of agency and free will...

No question that Autopilot was attractive. In the six months between my test drive and actually buying the Model 3 I had probably a dozen episodes of close calls in traffic jams, in my BMW. “Jeez, could have used autopilot there.” But the real tipping points were other, more relevant features...

I can see a hole in the side where the bag hanger would pivot. Must be an oversight.

I think that you’re wrong.

My delivery person said “sorry, no bag hooks.” I felt sad (this was in April). But a couple of days later I pushed on one of the black plastic tabs that he had dismissed as being mere “bolt covers” and it flipped down. HA!!! Turns out that what he was calling the bolt covers for the frunk...

Hoping for a squeeze, a big squeeze, a “blood from a turnip” squeeze.

All-weather Tesla trunk mat. For that matter, I wouldn’t go with the expensive 3D Maxspider option for floor mats either. WeatherTech makes the Tesla brand all weather floor mats. I like the EVannex center console organizer. It lets you hide keys and other valuables under a false floor. And it...

Danng! I should have gotten a Buick Lacrosse. All joking aside, those top models made my eyes water a bit. Mini Cooper and Dodge most reliable?

Whaa... It would look cool if I could tell what it looks like.

Same Samsung Bar plus 128GB drive. Same problem here.

Again, most people will charge their vehicle at home, or at their apartment. The efficiency of the vehicle will prove much more relevant than charge times because charging will take place at night, and when you’re sharing chargers or rotating charge sessions (e.g. Mon., Wed, Fri.) with...

For heck’s sake, we’re talking about chargers that are primarily used for travel...and by folks who want to use their free supercharger miles locally (a minority). This pissing match is silly. The answer is more locations, not “Electrify America charges Turbo Taycans and eTrons faster.” EA...

This is a blessing in disguise. A recent fatal police chase hit close to home. Maybe there should be a cutoff switch, too.

“Ten hundred” Thing Explainer -Randall Munroe I couldn’t remember how much it cost, so I threw out a simple estimate.

Chalk me up as a member of the minority. Yes, I got a loaner every single time that I brought my 135i to the dealer. But the service department also took three visits to locate an AC refrigerant leak the first month of ownership, they bricked the radio, forgot to reconnect the audio on the right...

It is a reminder that for $15,000 and with technical support, people can cause damage at a production bottleneck and impact the global economy. Diesel, gas and jet fuel get more expensive, driving up the overhead for everyone on some level. There will be a cascade of increased costs. It’s...

And does this bode well for Tesla Semi sales in the future?

Drone attacks on Saudi refineries are again putting the world oil supply at the top of the headlines today. Depending on the extent of the damage, this could just be a scare, or it could have a big impact on gas prices. Not only could this be the best time to own an electric car, it also could...

I don’t have NOAP. But do have AP/TACC. Last week, on I-70 coming back home, AP brakes for shadow of a semi that we are passing. “Sorry about that.” “The car did that?” “Yep” Nevertheless, I LOVE TACC with autosteer on a long trip. The longer the stretch, the better AP does than I ever...

Yes, climate control. Just did a 12 hr round trip another wife liked it. That’s proof enough. Seriously, it is quiet and infinitely adjustable. Everyone was happy. Also, headlights are brilliant, literally. Both features have a high function/sexy ratio.

No

Admit it, your relationship with this car goes much deeper than that. You can’t deny that you check on it at odd hours, waking it when you need it most, maybe when it’s not really feeling tip-top. You send it addresses of places that you want to take it. You tell people how much you love it.

OK, did the trip this weekend. First, the Normal, IL Superchargers rock. They are about 10 minutes off of Interstate 55, but are located in the middle of a nice shopping district. There’s a Starbuck’s, a Jimmy John’s, and a great restaurant called Medici. Gourmet popcorn store and bakery are...

Planning a trip to Chicago, first long range trip. Am not thrilled with charging options on the way. Normal, IL station sounds like a hassle and unreliable, according to checkins on Plugshare. But am more concerned about SOC upon arrival in Chicago and the availability of superchargers...

Only happens with my Model 3 early morning or late evening when the sun is low. And only at certain angles, and only in two locations. I think that glare interferes with one of the cameras and causes a false positive. I wouldn’t sweat it.

I would buy the Tesla Shop rear rubber cargo mat. The trunk is felt-lined, so the cargo mat provides a tough, easily cleaned surface. It fits perfectly, and, best of all, it is made by Weather Tech and has a Tesla badge. Other members love the Maxspider liner, but I don’t see the advantage. The...

I have experience with runflats, so does my wallet. Dirty little secret: they don’t fulfill their promise. You can’t cover much ground with them flat. Driving on them flat destroys them. Think about that with your 4000# Model 3. The folks at Auto Tire et. al. hate them and they charge more to...

Then I suppose that I am kinda sorta an early adopter. Didn’t want to make it sound like it is ho hum. Every day that I drive it, I can’t believe that it’s mine.
