I think its explained by a couple people in the thread, but ultra wide band does not have anything to do with the car camera system, so the answer to your initial question: Is, "it doesnt use the cameras, it uses a form of communication that only the new cars have".

The thread being referenced above is here: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/accelerating-when-braking.319664/ Note also that this OP also posted a thread about : https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/me-people-we-people-us-people.326658/#post-8244769 Which is basically about...

Im pretty sure there is a thread here about doing pretty much exactly that (showing up with measuring tools).

You definitely are not the only person that noticed the pattern that appears to be happening here. Im not a fan either, but I am making that comment as myself, its not ment to represent TMC, TMC moderators or even myself as a mod. It represents myself as a regular poster, and as a regular...

If its a brand new vehicle (meaning being sold as new), at least in the past, one could request they remove FSD from an existing vehicle. Tesla wouldnt do it for a used car being sold by them, but used to do it frequently for new cars sold by them, in stock. Key would be being "sold as new"...

If I could "+ 1,000,000" this, I would do so.

(moderator note) Thread locked to prevent confusion with the current version of the model 3 performance waiting room, linked in the post by @scrapps above mine here.

There is a 200+ post thread in the model 3 subforum specifically on the topic of removing stains from the white seats. My own Tesla(s) have black seats, so I havent really studied the thread, I just know its there, and long...

It probably would as it would just be the standard "human looking at phone".

Like I said, some people like them / to each their own. I said before that I have either performed or managed people who perform customer service roles (though not for Tesla / cars) for my entire working career, and I am in my late 50s. For most customer service reps, pulling out a multi page...

Good luck! Let us know how it comes out, hope it all works out ok.

Depends on whether your state is one that allows Tesla direct sales or not. If it is (your state allows tesla direct sales) then yes. If your state is NOT one that allows tesla direct sales, you likely have to pay in advance before you pick up your car (because Tesla gets around direct sales...

Car aesthetics are a super personal thing, so I support people doing what they want with their car. The only person who needs to like it, is you. With that being said, it looks like this, to me (which I dont like): I do like small, understated spoilers on cars, but the minute it starts...

If thats important to you, is there some reason you dont just turn on the blended brake option that simulates regen when its limited due to battery ability to accept regen for any reason? I dont use that setting myself, but its specifically for this type of thing. Anyway, I dont believe the...

In general they are not going to check first to see if it can be plugged. They are going to replace it.

But legacy dealers absolutely DO do that. Its extremely common to find lease offers from legacy ICE dealers that include fine print that says, in effect, that it includes several incentives like First responders, military, etc etc, that there is very little chance most people would qualify for...

Yeah its pretty much " wont touch ". Maybe some small, hungry solar installer "might" add some panels to another install, but I have never seen anyone have any success at all at getting any installer to add panels to an existing installation. They tend to not even want to do that on their own...

Your house would have used the power from your powerwalls to drain itself, and if the solar is filling your powerwalls right now, that means you are getting solar. Unless your home is on a time of use plan, and right now is your peak usage time, filling the powerwalls with your solar is what...

If you look at the other posts in this thread from @Raechris , its fairly obvious that they either have an EXTREMELY supportive SA (which is possible but unlikely for them to be giving that much info to one person), A friend who works for Tesla who has access to that information, or works for...

I mean, I have never used a chart like that, and pulling out a multi page checklist in front of a Tesla delivery agent sort of screams "i am going to be a problem" from a customer service perspective (which is one of the reasons I have never done it), but some people really like them. I like to...

I dont remember anyone posting about this before. Let us know what you find out about it when you contact Tesla to ask them about it.

It may not be able to update at all, if the certificates (digital rights basically) have expired. If the certs have expired it will have to go to Tesla for them to update the certs manually. The certs are in basic terms the digital right for the car to connect to the tesla servers and download...

The only thing I can think of is, it must have been really, really... REALLY bad... lol

(moderator note) Just dropping a note here on the link shared for the document for everydaychris' delivery checklist. I dont have any issue at all with what was currently shared Just as a side note, @everydaychris has an account here and although I dont know how active he is now, has been...

If people cant follow the instructions to do a filter view, that doesnt change the view for anyone else, they also are not going to go to a separate tab to click the links. The problem here is that the sheet has had enough responses that its being changed by all of the following groups: 1...

When I saw the thread title,I was wondering how long it would take for someone to try to use this thread as a personal soap box. Took longer than I thought actually. Extensive rants would be better served being in their own thread (especially when its known by the person ranting that they are...

The high level answer is that doing what you say may make the numbers on the battery maintenance system (BMS) read better, but wont really change ACTUAL battery degradation. To change actual degradation rates, you will want to charge to a lower percentage than 80% on a regular basis (the number...

Not picking on you (and this is not an official moderator comment, its somewhere in between a regular comment and one with my mod hat on), but one of the reasons we dont really allow "state vs state" or "country vs country" posts is because they can very very quickly turn super nasty. The...

I mean, I have been saying "there is no orderly line" for a while now in this thread, to try to prepare people for this exact line of thinking / emotions. Like I said in another post though, no matter what anyone does to try to tell / prepare people for this exact thing (that they will see...

Yes, if you are driving in temps under 40degrees Fahrenheit or snow. Its not even "starting" and "moving" thats the main issue... its " stopping " (which is probably the most important thing we do as drivers). Dont need to take anyones word for it though, there are a ton of articles, videos...

One of the issues with a fast moving thread like this, is that things said (even things said multiple times) get lost, pretty quickly. i agree that its almost impossible to make any sort of decisions whatsoever based on the estimated delivery date as it currently stands. A long time ago...

It might be (an error only on cars with ultrasonic sensors). The OP here just says "I have a model 3" so we dont know what year / model etc.

Did they start staggering them after 2018 (cause the stock model 3 Performance from release at least through my car in 2018 is absolutely, positively 10000% a square setup from the factory)?

If it were me, I would probably buy a new 12v from Tesla for roughly $85 and try swapping that in there, if you are comfortable doing so. After replacing the 12V, try seeing if it will start charging (if he has a mobile adapter to charge it with, the cars came with them back then). If you...

(moderator note) Thread title changed. Hope your friend pulls through ok.

Interesting that you use powerwalls as an example, at least to me. I actually have had my first set of (2) powerwalls replaced under the battery warranty, and the replacement ones were brand new still in the shrinkwrap devices. I know they dont have to replace batteries with new, and on...

(moderator note) Are you sure that the car is a model 3? If its not your car, perhaps you didnt get the year or the car wrong, but got the model wrong instead? In any case, I need to get the thread title corrected because what you type simply does not and could not exist, so no one is going...

If you dont have a vin, you are still making the same mistake of believing and making plans around the "estimated" delivery date.

The only thing that putting "cash" does is ensure the profile is complete. Tesla doesnt actually care whether the money comes from cash, financing, leasing etc, its all the same money. They just care about a complete profile for moving forward through the process. Financing through them, is...

Its for acceleration off the line. Its not going to change 60-130 / 70-100 in any appreciable way.

(moderator note) I have no idea what "Mosey Y" means in the thread title, but I am going to assume the OP either fairly drastically mistyped it, or, only slightly mistyped it but the autocorrect on whatever they are posting from changed whatever they typed to "mosey". Changing "Mosey" to...

No, not in my opinion. I am not the decision maker on this (the site owners are) but if they asked me I would strongly say "No, it does not need another subforum. The site has had several other vehicles such as various model S and X's that have been refreshed, and did not spin up subforums for...

I should have said "for the older cars, which is what I ment, but did not say.

I know, right? I mean, its a perfectly reasonable assumption to make, too. I even considered it briefly myself, but then when I was looking into it, I realized that tesla wont even call their used cars "certified pre owned cars", like a lot of dealers. If they say that, it means they have to...

My first thought was "Man that is some SERIOUS burying the leade on how someone could possibly take delivery on April 3rd and not sign the contract till may 13th, more than a month later. " TMC isnt affiliated with Tesla, this is a third party site so there isnt anything anyone here can do to...

Because: Supercharging was an optional add on, on a S60. Do you know if that car had it? The fact that another car had it doesnt impact that.

No idea.. I saw someone else mention something similar in the 2024 Highland MP3 Delivery thread though, so perhaps there is a firmware thing happening with bluetooth on new highland vehicles or something (pure speculation with no research, just spitballing).

Yes, its normal. One is for the phone as key, and the other one is "to the car" for music, phone, etc. It actually used to look a lot more confusing on the phone than it does now, because that 1 key connection actually is like 3-4 connections to the car or something, and they used to have...

I actually dont think so. I just think that online it skews that way because the thing to do now is complain online. In one of the waiting room threads, someone got a vin, then posted "and now tesla doesnt respond", when it turned out "doesnt respond" was a matter of hours, related to the...

The one with the key is completely separate from the other one (its the connection for Phone as key). That wouldnt be the reason bluetooth is dropping. make sure you are not swiping away the tesla app, try deleting the connection from both the car and the phone (not the key one, the other one).
