    Terminate Lease Early

    They will probably adjust the final fees when the vehicle is returned. That 1080 is probably just an estimate. As for returning it to a specific sc, I don't know. You can try to call or swing by the local sc and ask them. You can try to demand a closer return but they don't really have any...

    SMS Irregularities receiving/reading texts

    I want to say yes. I haven't heard this bug recently so I've forgot about it. Of course that could change after the next update.

    When will the FSD trial start rolling out?

    Yes. Got it today along with the trial email as soon as it finished installing.

    Still don’t have FSD trial.

    Got to try fsd twice to pick up kids and back. It did most of the driving but it required a few interventions. A couple might have been me not trusting it and things would have been ok but I played it safe. However it completely ignored a school zone and would have blown through it had I not...

    Still don’t have FSD trial.

    I just installed 2024.14.6 and once it completed I got an email saying I got the 30 day trial! Hopefully I try it out this weekend.

    My Q

    tesla has removed the diy homelink option again. who knows if it will come back. I don't use auto close either. I don't trust it 100%. I do use auto open but my opener will only open if the door is closed. it isn't a toggle like most remotes.

    Help me decide Model 3P or Model YP

    Drive a y. I was shocked at how bad rear visibility is in the y. the 3 is much better in that regard. I would like a hatch on the m3 though. there are some things I can't put in the m3 without one that requires me to use one of our other vehicles.

    Insurance question--need advice

    if it is truly cosmetic, any decent body shop will be able to repair the bumper cover with a plastic welder and respray. It doesn't need to be a tesla certified shop. I had this done on my last m3 and the bumper ended up looking better than new. edit: I forgot to mention cost was about $1k.

    Smelly stinky socks / mold in Model 3 AC

    Marsh, In your case I'd be tempted to try the klima stuff. It would also be a good test to see if your drain isn't clogged. The klima needs to drain out.

    $235 for cabin filter replacement?

    2 years seems like a really long time. All my other vehicles specify a 1 year service interval. I'd be happy to get 1 year out of my m3 filters. Usually they start to stink around 6 months.

    When will the FSD trial start rolling out?

    You can't go back, so you would have to wait for it to catch up. That's what I've read anyway.

    When will the FSD trial start rolling out?

    Based on my observations from this rollout, it appears fsd is always behind the latest release. Therefore if my car is always updating as soon as a new release is available, will I never get the fsd trial? I'm wondering if pausing updates for a while would be a safe tactic.

    Where is Homelink module on 2018 M3LR?

    It is behind the front bumper. I'm not sure you'll be able to enable the home link module in the my though. Tesla has since removed the ability for owners to do this. See the big diy home link thread for details.

    M3 Highland - Demo Drive Thoughts

    It won't change directions if you are traveling above 5 mph or so. It pops up a warning and chimes and says it was ignored.

    When will the FSD trial start rolling out?

    I'm still waiting for the notification to pop up saying the fsd trial is available on my 23 m3. Also, I noticed that you can no longer check for new software anytime you want by going to the software page. It used to check every time you opened that screen but it only appears to check once...

    Did you just buy a Tesla from Hertz Car Rental?

    nmb-b (romex). thhn would require conduit the entire way. you'll only be able to use 40 of the 50 amps, though.

    Did you just buy a Tesla from Hertz Car Rental?

    If you are going to install an outlet, run the 6/3. Make sure you spend at least $60 on a hubbell or bryant outlet. No $10 lowes special. You only need the conduit when the wire runs along the wall. in the ceiling or walls don't need conduit.

    Window tint headache on new 24 M3, Any advice?

    That stinks. I'd be worried about them breaking the heating elements on the rear glass. In the past, those have been known to easily break when tint is removed. I guess it is possible tesla has fixed that, but I kind of doubt it...

    Is there a way to manually turn on park assist?

    Mine intermittently activates and deactivates when I pull into the garage. It seems to trigger when there is something 5' or so in front of the car.

    Is there a way to manually turn on park assist?

    Well then, I've got nuthin. I will check it tonight when I get home. A button or command would be nice, though.

    Is there a way to manually turn on park assist?

    I'll have to check again, but I believe mine turns on before I enter the garage. It is possible the auto homelink triggers it, though.

    Drove the Highland Yesterday.

    My daughter and I drove a highland this morning. I've had a 20 m3 and currently drive a 23 m3 rwd. The good: the cooled seats are awesome. The rear screen is nice. The bad: pretty much everything else. I didn't think it rode any differently than either of our m3s. It also didn't sound any...

    What's the best Tesla app for a Google Pixel 2 smartwatch?

    I don't know if it is the best, but I used wear for Tesla. Iirc, it was about $10. It worked but was kinda slow, but could have been my watch. Back then it was the most suggested app. That was a few years ago so things my have changed or improved.

    in my experience, lysol spray works just as will as the specialty coil cleaners. faster and cheaper, too.

    Lease end question

    Shut off auto payment after your last payment before you turn in the car. Tesla has a history of auto charging for damages and people have had to fight to get the money back. Search on this forum for examples of this happening.

    How long does it take to get a lease return inspected?

    I wish I had replaced the tires about 6 months before the lease was up. They were much better than the oems. At least I could have enjoyed them some. The lease returns department told they do not forgive any damage if you lease again. The only thing they waive is the $350? termination fee...

    How long does it take to get a lease return inspected?

    My car had two wheels with rash but was otherwise perfect. It had ~21k miles out of 36k but still needed at least 2 tires. I opted to replace all 4 for about $700 just to be safe. Tesla wanted ~$1400 for 4 oem michelins. I repaired one wheel myself which I thought came out pretty well and...

    How long does it take to get a lease return inspected?

    They quoted me $85 per wheel for rash. If it is less than 3" ( I think) they won't charge you. They initially charged me $85 but later refunded it to me. Maybe because it wasn't the bad (it was minor). I was happily surprised.

    How long does it take to get a lease return inspected?

    Last year my "inspection" consisted of taking lots of pictures and sending them to the lease returns team. They send you a checklist of the minimum number of pictures. I suggest you take care of any potential issues before you submit the pictures since it took considerable effort to get them to...

    Just test drove a highland in Los Angeles

    The problem I have with the stalkless wheel isn't about me. I'm sure I'd get used to it after a short while. The problem I have are the other people that drive the car on an infrequent basis. I'll be hearing complaints every time they drive it.
