Sit in the seat and hit the buckle a few times with a rubber mallet. Then connect and disconnect the belt about 10 times to get the dust worn off. Check to see if warning is gone. You’re welcome.

The only image I can see from my cabin camera is the sticky side of a strip of electrical tape stuck over the lens.

Apple Lossless works now? When did this happen? No mention about it that I remember. I just tested it on the stick in my car, and yes it surely does work. Not so much with AIFF files though-loading error as always. This fixed one of my biggest complaints about USB. The next would be to have USB...

Have you tried the hard reset where you disconnect the battery and open the connector under the rear seat?

The horror.

Threads about stuff like this always remind me of what my Mother-in-Law used to say: “If you don’t have enough problems, you go buy some”.

Here’s a tip: https://www.mountainpassperformance.com/tesla-model-3-hard-reset/

It's a dang good thing there is no screen page to monitor the wear in real time. OMG, which page to stare at- the revolutions, the pressure, or the wh/mi.? Was that a stop sign?

After installing 44.30.7 I noticed I had a different look to the maps near my house. They changed from what I would guess was early April to early August. The version number, however, was still the same- 2020.48-12628. Summertime definitely looks better. I think they do things like this just to...

The only number I look at when navigating somewhere that is a tight fit for range is the estimated SOC at destination. If that number starts to decrease unacceptably then I know I will have to make changes in speed, Hvac, or route if possible. If it holds up, then I can enjoy myself and drive...

If you have to keep your eyes on the road, not the screen, then why do you want to watch your tire pressures? You will get a warning if any are low.

I sure wish the car had a system to monitor the tire pressures and warn me if any get low. Then I wouldn’t have to watch that tire pressure page all the time.

Hey Andy. Did you ever have any indications of a problem other than a message? Like noises or vibrations? I get a high pitched screeching sound when the car/battery is pretty cold and it goes into the waste heat mode to warm the battery, such as when starting to charge or cabin pre-heat. But no...

https://www.mountainpassperformance.com/tesla-model-3-hard-reset/ Speaking of resets, I do this about twice a year just on principle.

I have found that if I don’t “surprise” my locked car by trying to open the door without the app or blu-tooth running and connected that the audio will almost always return to where it was.

“Force closed”?? The app needs to be actively running on the iPhone screen, or running in the background to unlock and open the door with the door handle. One or the other. That does not mean that Background App Refresh needs to be turned on. I have that turned off in my general settings for all...

I have had Location Services and Background App Refresh on my iPhone turned off for years. Everything about the Tesla app works just fine, except summon, which needs location. Try it and save some phone juice.

The tap is back with 24.4.

I disabled WI-Fi and several months later the car downloaded new software over cellular by itself. Once it’s downloaded, the only way to get rid of the prompt is to manually do it on the touchscreen or put the car in gear. No big deal.

Yes, or an even newer one. A while back I skipped several “revisions”. I quit calling them upgrades. If 25.7 downloads, just don’t install it. It will eventually get kicked out and replaced.

I wish I was 21 again.

Haven’t driven it yet. I will certainly give it a chance.

I have not installed new software for about 5 months now. Yesterday I got this Notice that filled most of the display: “How digital content is streamed from providers like Netflix*, Youtube*, and Hulu* is changing on May 31, 2021. In order to maintain compatibility to view...

The version that had been downloaded in the car and waiting to be installed disappeared about 3 days ago. As did the alarm clock. I then had the download icon on the top of the display, which I used to get 2021.4.11 downloaded to the car and now have the alarm clock and install reminder for...

Thanks for the reply. My question is how do you know this?

I have 2020.48.12.1 running in the car. 2020.48.35.5 downloaded by itself with WiFi off. I have sat on it for about 3 weeks without installing it because I don’t like the new look of the screen. Does anybody know what happens if I continue doing this for a while? Will the download scrub out if a...

Your car is not an investment. It is an expense.

Maybe you should have bought a different car.

I have had my iPhone location services turned off since I got my car two years ago. I mean all the way off all the time. Everything about the car works great, except summon, which I don’t use anyway. Try it.

I think the best test is “Please Don't Ask About Barbara” by Bobby Vee. 1959, I believe. I only have the mono version but some of my friends have said the stereo one is just nuts good.

All 8 are now up. I am trying the second from the west end. Lower power here as I started out at 67kw and am now at 47kw . You know if you put your ear up to the right side of the pedestal, your can here something like a cooling fan noise. The four on the east side are much louder than the new...

Does 16.2.1 have anything obviously new? I have not seen the release notes.

I just finished charging a few minutes ago on the third stall from the east end and got some better numbers. Went from 25% to 85%. Started out at about 600 mi/ hr. and ended with 180. 160 KW down to about 70. Free. The four stalls on the west side are not lit up, although it is very hard to see...

I was by there yesterday and saw no changes or activity.

Say, where are those front license plates?:D

Premier Contracting looks like they have been working there quite a bit today and still at it. Boxes and spools of cable all over. Here we go.

Yeah, great. My Continentals have 9k on them and have not been rotated. Just checked and they all have just shy of 7/32 and all four have even wear, side to side, which seems a rarity. Car drives straight as a stick. I don’t really baby them. Run about 39 psi. for a softer ride. I don’t think...

I’m pretty sure Summon and all the functions on the app are internet based. Turn BT off and try Summon. Using Enhanced Summon in a parking lot from 200 ft. away, you will have no BT connection. You do need location services on though.

Another piece of info that would be nice when navigating to a destination is the predicted SOC at arrival. Unless I’m doing something wrong this is only available in the overview mode. Wish it was constantly there and easy to read in the Heading Up and North Up modes. If find myself always...

I charged at Dacotah Ridge golf course near Morton, MN on Sunday while I played. An electrician from a firm in St.Paul was there tuning up the two Tesla chargers. He had just finished and we had a great conversation. He has done a lot of work around the state for Tesla and seemed very...

I have been tempted to start digging in the trunk for the subwoofer to find out if the damn thing is actually plugged in.

I wonder how many have actually seen their range icon turn from green to yellow to red. I have had mine in the red twice when returning from trips, and the system shows almost zero battery degradation. I wouldn’t park and leave it in the red though, but charge it as soon as you can. I think...

I only plug mine in the night before I want to charge, which is about once a week. Have driven it down to the red battery icon twice. Made it home at 6% each time. Last 100% charge was 323 miles. Vin 40,4xx. Jul 18.

LR RWD with 5900 miles since last July. Have charged to 100% a few times and got home with about 5%. 323 miles at 100%. Usually charge to about 85%.

Yep, will wait and see if it gets fixed with new software. Also missing the menu for immersive sound.

Am I doing something wrong? After the car is in park in the car wash, I go to the screen safety/security menu and select power off. Press the brake when wash is over and drive out.

I am a huge fan of the biggest battery with the 19in. sport wheels. I charge at home and not that often with no commute. The car looks and handles incredible and if you lose a few miles range(very little), who cares?

My USB almost always starts playing from where it left off. Same as any other source. Volume is a little lower for all audio at same settings when the car is cold. It may be intentional or could just be physics. Less DB sounds like less bass??? Also, are they not messing around with volume...

You didn’t stand in line long enough.

Interesting development. This morning I decided to check the audio level again with the car in the garage after it had been sitting all night. Playing the same song with the same settings I got 3 db. less than before. I needed one more click (16) to make it the same. Long story short, what...
