    Ear pain/Pressure help

    For everyone that has this issue, does your closed trunk hatch shake visibly when you slam the doors? Mine does, and I suspect the source of this issue is because my trunk hatch is shaking whenever it goes over a crack/bump on the road and acting like a giant subwoofer and creating large amounts...

    Is the 2018/2019 Model 3 idle fan supposed to be loud?

    I have both a 2018 and 2019 Model 3, and I just got a 2024 Model Y. I noticed the HVAC fan noise on idle is much quieter on the 2024 Y, it's barely audible. But both my 2018/2019 Model 3's have a noticeable idle HVAC fan noise no matter how low the fan settings are. I can't remember if my Model...

    Tesla reneged on 2 years of free supercharging, how to follow up?

    I don't, they did not give any reasoning besides miscommunication, but it was clear I was eligible just like everyone else who bought during that time. I only had 1 deviation item, which was the 19" wheels. I will start the arbitration process and see what comes out of it. Any tips on arbitration?

    Tesla reneged on 2 years of free supercharging, how to follow up?

    This is an issue from back in 2019 that I didn't get a resolution on and dropped due to time, but now I'm determined to correct this injustice. I bought a M3P in Sep 2019 where Tesla was offering 2 years of free Supercharging...

    Finally, backup cameras are smooth in the 2023 Holiday Update!

    Yes I have multiple MCU2 Tesla's and the backup cam improved immensely with the holiday update. The difference is massive.

    Finally, backup cameras are smooth in the 2023 Holiday Update!

    You mention the dashcam player is dog slow. Are you on the 2023.44 holiday update? If you are, and it is still slow, then it very likely means Tesla is only giving this hardware accelerated video feature to a percentage of users (which will expand with time). That would make sense, as that's...

    Finally, backup cameras are smooth in the 2023 Holiday Update!

    OK so I did more driving and I did notice occasional dropped frames sometimes, which is unfortunate that this problem still exists and I have no idea why. The frame rate is always smooth though, which is great and a lot better than before. I've never seen anything close to 1 second delays in any...

    Finally, backup cameras are smooth in the 2023 Holiday Update!

    I wish I could get access to see the CPU usage on a Tesla, so I can only speculate, but I would imagine it is substantial, in the range of 50%. I actually tried playing dashcam videos on a Intel Core i5-4258U, which is a dual core at 2.4GHz (turbo to 2.9GHz), which is roughly the same total...

    Camera stuttering after MCU2 upgrade - software or hardware issue?

    A little late, but here's why you're experiencing this issue, and it's fixed in the current 2023 holiday update https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/finally-backup-cameras-are-smooth-in-the-2023-holiday-update.318754/

    Finally, backup cameras are smooth in the 2023 Holiday Update!

    As a frame rate junky that loves smoothness, this is something I wanted for a long, long time. Tesla finally implemented hardware video decoding on MCU2 with the 2023 holiday update! This has lots of benefits that I'm going to geek out about. Because of this, all 3 cameras in the backup camera...

    What battery cells are in the 2023 M3 LR?

    Thank you. Interesting. That's a 7% reduction in range (358 vs 333) for a 4% reduction in capacity (79 vs 82). Do we know why there's this discrepancy?

    What battery cells are in the 2023 M3 LR?

    So do we have a definitive answer on what the battery chemistry is in the current M3 LR and what is the capacity?

    Model 3 year over year changelog

    Thanks, I've added those to the list.

    Model 3 year over year changelog

    Due to confusion on timelines (as originally this is a crude list that I made for myself), I added timelines on when the changes were made to better clarify things. Hopefully this will reduce confusion and make this more usable.

    Model 3 year over year changelog

    Could you point out the mistakes? There are some changes that might seem like they're under the wrong year, like the long list of "2021 refresh" changes, but that 2021 refresh started delivery in Q4 2020, so I count that as a change made in 2020.
