    Model 3 12v battery dead

    Last Thu was our turn. My son jumped in to drive to school and it died in the garage as soon as he closed the drivers door. I was about to try the 9V frunk pop and then jumpstart but thought I'd give Roadside Service a try via the app. As we waited for a reply my wife reported a horrible smell...

    Texas refuses to renew registration of Tesla M3 without emissions test

    NC also requires the test (in addition to an additional fee for EV's given we don't pay taxes on gasoline). The test is labeled an inspection that also includes safety and components testing (lights, horns, aftermarket mods, etc). Is the TX test emission only?

    Cracked rear glass, service center won’t cover under warranty:m. Options?

    Any chance you had Sentry mode active? Perhaps you caught something on video.

    Autopilot through highway 17 to Santa Cruz!

    Thanks for posting - my last time driving 17 was 20 years ago before I moved. Another time my buddy visited CA from TX. He missed the exit for Los Gatos and ended up going through the mountains. First timer, lost, and one curve taken too quickly and he totaled his rental car (he and his wife...

    I’ve never cried over a car until today...

    Funny thing - how versatile our tears. When I started reading, before seeing the pics, I thought you were sharing how the 3D sonogram had moved you to tears. So sorry about your beautiful Model 3. I'm glad your family was not sitting inside. You can build and customize another awesome Tesla.

    No spare tire caused a huge inconvenience

    Wait, the song said that "Green Acres is the place to be!" But seriously, sorry to hear about your experience especially when trying to get back to your dear family.

    Finally got around to installing aftermarket carbon spoiler...

    Stunning caliper color - well done. I have BMW M Performance brakes on my X5 and thought about also doing my 3's calipers in the same blue. Seeing your sled is great inspiration.

    Strange whirring noise when car is off [Update: fan noise while parked is not unusual]

    Trying turning on Climate via the app, then turn climate off via the app after 5-15 secs. I've had success doing this in the past when it did not seem the fan would stop on a mild temp day.

    Who has ordered?

    OK, I must be doing something wrong. I've been trying to order one since launch night but the order will not go through (tried laptop and device, multiple browsers, multiple credit cards). I've searched here and online. I'm sure its user error...

    Rodent damage: my washer fluid reservoir was leaking. It was chewed through by something.

    I wonder if some of this happened while the 3's were in Fremont, en route, or at local delivery centers. A few of us have noted falling washer fluid levels.

    Door Dinged Today

    I thought it was just me - I park on the end, away from the crowd some distance away. Upon return to the car the largest vehicle in the lot joins me in this remote area but over the line and too too close. I hate door dings. PDR may be the play.

    V10 for non FSD

    EA no FSD, got v10 last night. Watched Sunday Night Football via Hulu DVR to test it out - flawlessly awesome! I did not get phone notification regarding the update. I was heading out last night and saw the notification in the car. If you're waiting for the update and have not driven over the...

    First Mobile Service - Recall and Repair Items

    Mine is a 2018. Yes, I saw the posts about the grommets not needed for 2019's but I am unclear if the liner or other items have changed to avoid the need for them.
