    Anyone paint their Aero hubcaps?

    I can confirm that the chips will get it. I ended up painting mine all black after a few road trips with the black/white/red due to chips and scratches. The single color makes for easier touch ups.

    Thoughts after 650 mile one-day Tesla drive

    I did a trip that was close to 1,000 miles each way this last week. From Salt lake to San Luis Obispo and back. On the way out I was amazed, I hit all the superchargers with about 10% battery left and only needed to stop 4 times. Got about 250 miles per charge going 80+ MPH the whole way and...

    Anybody else now getting "dual motor" emblem on your car?

    I saw two trucks carrying 3's on a road trip this weekend, both were packed full of black model 3's with the dual motor badges.

    Model 3 Key Fob is here: $150

    I will call them and give it a shot. I can't think of anytime that it didn't happen immediately when I pushed the handle. I have noticed on tesla-fi that my car doesn't sleep as much as it should. I think mine and my wife's cell phones are close enough to connect a lot more often than they...

    Finicky Summon...

    I agree. It usually finds a way to park it weird no matter how simple it should be. The other day I tried to pull it into a parking spot just showing it to a friend. All it had to do was pull forward and it somehow wiggled it's way up on to the curb and then wouldn't summon anymore so that I...

    Model 3 Key Fob is here: $150

    I know some people have had issues but I never have, I can only speak for myself. I had a galaxy 8 when I first got the car and then got an iphone XS last month. I have just over 5k miles and almost 4 months with the car. I have never walked up to the car with my phone in my pocket and not had...

    Model 3 Key Fob is here: $150

    I'll stick with the key card for 5 bucks. My phone works 100% of the time anyway so this isn't really a necessity for me. The once in a while I valet I will spend the 30 seconds explaining to them how it works with the card.

    Finicky Summon...

    If it doesn't move it means it isn't comfortable with the amount of space it has to maneuver. I find it is mostly in the angle it is parked at, if it isn't straight it senses the walls in my garage as being behind it or something

    Touch - Car Wash... Who has taken the chance?

    I am fighting to keep mine clean, the touchless washes don’t do the deep cleaning. I go to the DIY car washes but don’t use the scrub brush because I know it will rip swirl marks into the car. I have a ceramic coat but no matter how gentle I dry I still see some swirl. I guess at least with the...

    When squeezing, shaking, and shoving the wheel doesn't register...

    I am very attentive in autopilot. I don’t trust it enough not to be, but the way they detect hands on the wheel sucks. I can get it just right and not get nagged but I have to hold the wheel perfectly so that It feels me but I don’t take over. Even then on a straight away it will nag me because...

    Danger - Falling Rocks! I'll say!

    Larvalbot is super cool. Your wrong link lead me down the rabbit hole. Read about larvalbot for half an hour.

    Cars bounce around on display

    Happening to everyone. I don’t think it is the cameras so much as the display screen struggling to convert it correctly. The car knows what is actually going on (usually) if it saw it like the display does we would be getting constant crash warnings and noises for distance.

    Navigate on Autopilot is Going to Cause Accidents

    I saw this post yesterday and figured it was just another one of those autopilot isn’t perfect threads that pop up daily. I tried nav on autopilot today and you are right. This feature is not ready for the road yet. Every time there was a crucial lane change to stay on the route it put itself...

    Are you OK with AutoPilot jail?

    I have no problem keeping my hand on the wheel, it would just be nice if it knew my hand was on the wheel. I can usually find the sweet spot and avoid the nag but sometimes I feel that the biggest distraction when in autopilot is trying to not get nagged.
