    Tesla headache?

    For what it's worth, the headache only lasted a couple hours for me, and after 3 days of driving my M3 it went away. So, don't give up yet, it's temporary!

    Feature Request: Automatically Roll Up Windows When It Start Raining

    Yep, closing windows with the phone app seems like the first step here. As for power consumption, my Sentry Mode doesn't drain my battery at all-- I hardly notice it. Maybe that's just me. But yeah, it would need to make sure it doesn't drain the battery while trying to detect rain.

    Feature Request: Automatically Roll Up Windows When It Start Raining

    I'm sure this has been suggested before but I just thought about it. How nice would it be for the car to automatically sense rain when the windows are down, then roll them up automatically? Apart from being a nice feature for us, it would be a great selling point for Teslas: never worry about...

    Model 3 Software Update 46.2

    The upgrade to 46.2 has made the automatic windshield wipers totally usable now for me. Previously they wouldn't turn on until the windshield was so covered that I couldn't see properly. Now they seem more sensitive and actually turn on when I expect them to.

    Tesla headache?

    It went away for me after about 2 weeks. Still happens to my wife every now and then if she's on her phone while I'm driving.

    Is changing a phone the only way?

    My iPhone XS is more like 85%. The times it doesn't work, I just try the handle 3-4 times in a row then it tends to work.

    Is there a way to keep air circulating inside the car?

    I have my HVAC turned on "Auto" mode, which is great. The only complaint is that it regularly turns off the inside air circulation and pulls in air from the outside. I regularly drive by some stinky areas, and constantly smell diesel and other stank on the highway. I have to remember to...

    V9 39.7 - Dashcam not working

    No "X" since 42.2. Not sure if it's fixed or if it just takes longer to happen.

    V9 39.7 - Dashcam not working

    Not sure yet. I got the gray x before upgrading to 42.2. Now it's had a red dot for a day or two. Will keep monitoring to see if that turns into an x after a few days.

    Model 3 Software Update 2018.42.x

    Silly/serious question: why does anyone need a key fob? Is the credit card key not good enough? Not having a key fob is a big upside to M3, in my opinion.

    V9 dashcam

    Silly question, but can you have a USB for TeslaCam and both of the phone chargers at the front plugged in? I had to unplug one of the phone chargers in order to use that USB slot for TeslaCam.

    Model 3 Jeda Wireless Pad

    Jeda works very well for me, no problems with installation or charging whatsoever. I did not get the fast charging addition, and it still charges quickly. Some nits though: The back of the charger doesn't have the indentations that the standard rubber pad has, instead there are sort of sticker...

    Obvious features/functions that weren't obvious to you

    One of the most underrated features is the Hold lock for the brakes. For me, this usually happens automatically, but if you're stopped and the ((H)) doesn't appear, then you can press the brake down extra hard and it will activate the brake lock. Then just press the accelerator to unlock it...

    Obvious features/functions that weren't obvious to you

    Really? How can you do this? I can't find anything Tesla related in the Siri Shortcuts app.

    What did you name your Tesla?

    Me too (well except my car's silver)! I came here seeing if anyone else chose Dolores or Maeve. Not disappointed :)
