On your phone, then, you need to start playing. You should see your car listed as a bluetooth device on the phone. The car doesn't really control the phone; it's just an output device. It can, however, do simple things like skip tracks, and show you what's currently playing.

The visibility out the back of an M3 is bad enough as it is, without making the window even smaller.

I dunno, just the other day I saw someone "driving" his M3 for miles down I680 just staring at his phone in his lap. If Autopilot encourages this level of complacency, that's a serious issue.

Definitely don't use the HOV lanes with no passengers if you don't have the sticker. It doesn't matter if the car is obviously eligible, they'll still nail you. The CHP only goes by the presence of the stickers.

It's not just the last few weeks. These windshields have been on backorder for many months now, at least.

Not sure why, but I think Tesla recommends not using that kind.

Also, the adjustable seats can be raised up quite a bit in the 3; that may also help you.

I have some minor back problems, and the M3 has never been an issue for me. It doesn't feel super low to me; seems about the same as the BMW 328 I used to have. It seems like the ideal thing to do is take advantage of Tesla's 1-week return policy. Hopefully someone else can chime in and verify...

Wow, that's a seriously tight fit!

That's what we do as well, but we stop as soon as the tape disappears under the car in the camera. I've also put two pieces on the sides as a target for the wheels to be in between. It really helps; the backup camera on this car is great.

Why would you just give them your money for a feature that may or may not happen....or may happen but in a way that is far removed from everyone's vision of what it will be. Wait for them to deliver, THEN decide.

That said, I don't know what makes anyone think that this is any less of a danger in a Tesla. Cabin Overheat Protection is not enough for an infant.

Kids also didn't ride in massive rear-facing car seats where you can't see them unless you're in the back seat. This is a mistake that *anyone* can make.

I started a thread about my experiences here: Windshield Replacement Experiences Long story short, some of the shops in the Bay Area do windshield replacements, others do not. If you contact one that does not (Fremont), they will not inform you of others that do. Some shops have the windshields...

It's a little over $1000 in the states, at a Tesla service center.
