    AC odor removal and cleaning

    If it helps anyone... My car just crossed the 1 year mark and has had the funk for about 6 months. Reading through the boards I knew it was going to be fight with Service to get them to do the right thing so to be honest I kept putting it off. A passenger finally commented on it so I decided...

    Model 3 Software Update 2018.44.x

    It still throws me, even though I know they're "ghosts". Its also a little embarrassing when showing the uninitiated Tesla tech for the first time. It always comes up as a question and the answer of "well, it worked great before the last major patch - its a software issue". More embarrassing...

    Model 3 Software Update 2018.44.x

    Does it fix the wiggly and drunken vehicles on my display? I was hoping it was just a calibration thing after the 39 patch (which should have been more accurate), but here we are and I still see vehicles sliding across lanes (and through my car). I'm hoping one of these new patches will...

    Pick-up At Austin Ponds 09/14/18

    Thanks, CC. Do they mail them to you or is it something I pick up at the service center?

    Pick-up At Austin Ponds 09/14/18

    For the folks that picked up from Pond Springs - how long did it take folks to get their Inspection Sticker and License Plate?

    Easy DIY Center Console Carbon Fiber?

    Its easy to do - just don't rush yourself and watch the videos before you try it.

    Avoid RPMTesla...

    So the week I was scheduled for pickup, I placed a rather large order with RPMTesla. Based on the feedback I saw on the board after I ordered, I was skeptical about getting the parts on-time. I'm happy to report they did deliver on time and for the most part had all the stuff right in the...

    Software Update 2018.39.x (Version 9)

    Some additional observations. As with some, the browser is finicky - typically just a black screen but I have gotten it to work once or twice. I definitely wouldn't use it as a point while showing off the car (far too unpredictable). I also experienced the audio issue but after rebooting the...

    Model 3 Aero Wheel Cap Kit

    Reminds me of a 45. I like the cap, though.

    Software Update 2018.39.x (Version 9)

    Finally got v9 last night (ironically as I was reading about delayed v9 updates on the forum) and so far I'm pretty happy with it. I'm assuming everyone is now seeing the traffic around you sliding/wiggling quite a bit while it re-calibrates? I had a semi-truck slide through my car while I was...

    Model 3 Aero Wheel Cap Kit

    Thanks, guys - I just had an image in my head of plastic flying off as I'm headed down the highway. :)

    Model 3 Aero Wheel Cap Kit

    Ordered mine last week and got them in five days. The website quoted an 8 week delay so I was very surprised to find it on my doorstep. They're on the car and look good, but I have concerns - the center cap is nice and tight, but the lug nut caps seem "loose" (I pushed them on with my fingers...

    [Resolved - Inaccurate] Model 3 no longer delivered with lightning /USB-C cable

    I took delivery on 9/27 and the rep told me it came with one USB C and one micro-USB then proceeded to try to install one of them incorrectly. In reality I got a USB-C and lightning cable which is a no win for me since I'm an Android user. I did ask her to swap out the cables for two micro-USB...

    Pick-up At Austin Ponds 09/14/18

    I got a call from my DA Wednesday saying my account (which was funded and settled Tuesday) came back across her desk and she didn't know why. I checked my account on the web and the trade-in was missing... so it showed I owed money again. I explained this to her and said that it was not that...
