    Loud Noise, now front of car is damaged

    I would definitely have noticed if there was something larger than say, a the size of a lemon or so had struck my vehicle. The loud banging happened two times. I was paying pretty close attention the first time, I was paying very close attention the second time, which was about 5-10 seconds...

    Suspension upgrades?

    Anyone have any suggestions on suspension upgrades for LR AWD model 3? mines in the shop right now and I got a P90D S loaner and I’m blown away by how much nicer the ride is. It’s both smoother and more comfortable as well as much more confident and glued to the road in corners. It reminds me...

    Loud Noise, now front of car is damaged

    So 3 days ago I was driving down the highway about 70 mph. This was two days after having some work done on my car. My windshield needed to be replaced and they looked at my software and brakes. So I’m driving down, and paying attention, not laser focus but not staring at my phone. Loud bang and...

    Dash screen glitching?

    I was driving yesterday, and the screen went black as I was driving down the road. Then later, while I was driving it showed my car as being in park. Any insight on whether I need more than a simple reboot? Seems like a pretty scary glitch! Thank you!

    Driver profile problem

    My car has been acting up lately. I was driving down the road the other day and my screen went black. Then I was driving down the road while my screen showed my car in park. Scary. But what's as annoying as that is that my phone doesn't seem to be triggering my driving profile. Every time I...

    Tesla may have been on Autopilot in California crash which killed two

    that’s exactly what I’m saying. I represented an insurance company in the defense of a manufacturing company that was sued by the family of a man who broke into the building to steal scrap metal, so he could sell it and use that money to buy drugs. He ”accidentally” turned on the wrong switch...

    Tesla may have been on Autopilot in California crash which killed two

    Common sense and “public policy” are often at odds. “Public policy” doesn’t really have a strict definition here, but in general terms is the cultural norms that help guide our legal system. Public policy would rather have the wrong party indemnify a damaged party (I.e. shell in this scenario)...

    I like my 3, but...

    If the 2025 still looks exactly like the 2018, your resale value will be higher. You’re asking for obsolescence in a way. As the owner of a 2 week old 2020 M3 I’m happy to see them roll the same design off the line for at least a few more years!

    14-50 Winter Charging

    street light colors are very obvious even to me, but little LED lights like this have a neon quality to them where the green and yellow look exactly the same.

    14-50 Winter Charging

    24 hours ago I “ruined” my daughter’s 5 yo bday party because her rainbow dash cake with light purple instead of light blue. Colorblindness strikes again.

    14-50 Winter Charging

    Problem solved. Though this is really embarrassing! a local owner stopped by and noticed my problem right away. My charger wasn’t plugged in all the way. It was very “sticky” if you will, and had to be jammed in to get it in all the way. I’ve been treating this car with kid gloves, with all...

    14-50 Winter Charging

    I pulled it out and looked inside the charge port and the charger “wand” and there are no obvious obstructions. When I plug it in, I hear about 5 “cha-chick” clicks sounds before it’s finally done mucking about and the charging starts. I have had the “obstruction” warning maybe only one or two...

    thank you, it is plugged in all the way, and the charger box is all green, no warning indicators.

    14-50 Winter Charging

    Yes, wired correctly then, and did that voltmeter testing routine to get the 120, 120, 240 readings. Thanks.

    The neutral goes on the bottom? We tested with a volt meter. Don’t have an amp meter, wasn’t aware that those are readily available other than the somewhat cumbersome clamp type.
