To the discussion about software versions and phone connectivity, I'll add that I'm on 2023.44.something and have also had intermittent trouble connecting to the car in the last week or three.

Hehe, I guess it might depend on where you live but around here “well made” and “American vehicle” wouldn’t normally belong together. Neither French. My Model 3 has had all three large glass pieces replaced and now intermittently complains about a safety restraint system fault. When I tried to...

I find the indicators and the gear selector in my 2019 Model 3 to be crap compared with my old vehicle. Switching into reverse sometimes doesn't work (if you're going just a bit too fast forwards still) in the 3 whereas in the old car, the gearbox was definitely in whatever position you moved...

I would love to love public transport, but even for longer trips in Melbourne, I too often have afterwards found myself thinking "should've just ridden" (being primarily a cyclist, the Model 3 is basically my wife's), because it would have been quicker, and if not quicker, at least more pleasant.

Just got my refund letter. Have moved house over the summer (though why that should be any sort of issue I don't know; I changed my address on the VicRoads website/portal and was promptly sent the sticker for the back of license). Not quite sure why the cheque couldn't have been included in...

Cycle the compressor? That sounds positively last-century. :-P These days I'd have thought the "intelligent" inverter-controlled compressor would just slow down such that the outgoing airstream was at the required temperature. Now what that required temperature is, is another question. If it's...

Yeah I’ve not received anything.

Interesting that the heater used 75%. How would that change if you had the temperature set to LO (and manually reduced the fan speed), I wonder?

Grouss: could you confirm that we can turn auto-wipers completely off when using TACC/AP now? I read that elsewhere and am hoping it's in the Aus'-deployed version too. Specifically, can wipers be set to "Off" while TACC or AP are engaged? Thanks.

I had glass replacement cover and was glad as the roof glass cracked on its own. As had the rear glass earlier (though Tesla agreed the rear glass crack was a manufacturing defect and warranty replaced it). But then mine’s a Fremont car so…

My nav favourites (and home setting) disappeared along with all my other settings (factory reset, except keys), on the last two updates. Some settings come back from the cloud (if you have that set up) once you sign in - but not nav locations. Super annoying so I’m not doing updates until one...

Car of mine does similar because it has a leaky master cylinder: you press and get almost no response, pump again and get some response, another pump and you've got brakes. For a few seconds, then you feel the pedal moving down again as it leaks. But it's consistent behaviour in that it's always...

Well I’m in the camp of those for whom voice control is a joke. There are a few things it can mostly get close to right (fan speed, though asking for a speed usually results in an incremental change), others which might take four or five attempts, and some things it just never ever gets right no...

Yeah I think there’s some bug in the AC code. I think I mentioned this a little up-thread. I’ve seen the AC change status, the temperature change, etc. It seems to me to be associated with changing profile but this is hard for me to check because it’s mostly my wife driving the Model 3; when I...

I hope they don’t ever sell them here, unless the silly thing can be demonstrated to be not a grave danger to other road users, incl. pedestrians and cyclists. Stupid American “trucks”. 😠
