    Accidentally received FSD

    They will contact you to install HW3, as they would anyone else, as they think you bought it. You should hear from them likely at some time in the near future is confident guess of mine.

    Battery drain while parked or car in storage

    Is there a way to disable Teslafi gathering info from the car except the vehicle is charging or you are driving it?

    P3D+ rear ended - total loss? current repair times?

    I just sent my car into the repair shop 2 weeks ago for getting rear ended as well, not as bad as yours though, and the initial estimate was about 3000$ pre repair shop drop off. After the repair shop had taken the bumper apart to analyze the damage fully, the price soared to 23,000$! So it...

    USB for Sentry Mode and Splitter

    I bought a basic 4 port USB splitter from Walmart, and a 128 GIG Sandisk USB drive and it works perfectly for dash cam and sentry mode. The higher storage will allow plenty of sentry mode footage to store, but I would still recommend cleaning it regularly, once or twice a month. I have another...

    “Standard Range” = 75D? Is a range upgrade coming?

    Ok, i didn't know there was that setting in the menu. I did notice the "ideal" range was selected when returning back to the car. I changed it to "rated" and the range went down to what I was expecting it would be. This setting isn't on the model 3.

    “Standard Range” = 75D? Is a range upgrade coming?

    Ill check shortly when I get back in it. It was showing that in the battery icon on the screen, not on the "energy graphs" where they show different levels of range for how you're driving. Unless I'm unaware, there's no way to change to ideal range rather than EPA rated on the main battery...

    “Standard Range” = 75D? Is a range upgrade coming?

    Yesterday I have just received loaner from Tesla for my model 3, and they gave me a brand new 75D with 40 miles on it(it shows 75D on the outside badging and on the home screen). Surprisingly, I charged to 90% over night and it was at 280 miles, and still finishing up on the charge when I...

    Heated door handles?

    Someone will have to test this during a snow fall, and see if the handles are cleared free of snow.

    Is Model 3 your only car?

    I have a beautiful Model 3, as well as a 2011 Highlander. The Highlander is a great vehicle so will keep it for the space and utility as needed.

    Sound in Reverse?

    How new is your car? This is normal for new/less used brakes. I recently had new brakes put on my other car, and they made noise for some time, I guess as I scrubbed off factory layer on them. If you're in a damp environment, make sure you use the brakes hard every so often, to keep the...

    Tesla is preparing some new cold weather features

    @stevemc good point on that! Almost forgot watching that video. Hopefully there won't be any issues with that pre heat function when they add that to the app.

    Winter Washing

    Hopefully the windows won't freeze, and not let the windows drop down when opening the door.

    Nomad wireless charger, new or old?

    @eyecubed I am on the fence of getting this product my self, but I don't think the charging operates when the car is off, I heard that it completely shuts off when the car does, regardless of the charge state of the integrated battery.

    Anyone else getting Fobs with late number VIN?

    Can the Tesla app unlock and lock the car when you are manually operating the app? Would be annoying to have to open your phone and app while approaching your car, and then manually tapping "unlock", but maybe that is another way to avoid walking up to the car, and it not responding to sensing...

    glass roof - production change (July 2018)?

    When pricing out a tint job on Model 3, with black rear glass orange top, they said they can only do the rear part of the window and not the top because the tinting is bad on the part that already has the orange coating/tint from the factory. My question is, for those who have the full...
