    False positive chimes

    Thanks for the sanity check. I thought I was hearing things, or trying to blame the radio. Haven't seen any screen flashes, just the odd chime or two.

    Supercharging

    The day I took delivery, I also swung by the local SC - ended up seeing a charge of like $6 on the screen afterwards. Since then I've charged for real a few times and it always show 0$. Might be just a bit of lag in the system. I don't recall ever seeing that $6 show up anywhere on a CC...

    Carpet vs all weather floor mats, and which ones?

    Carpet wears down and looks funky with age, so I like having mats. However, while it snows here, I didn't want my car looking like the wife's Subaru, so shied away from those super heavy duty, deep-sided ones and went with these from Evannex - EVANNEX All-Weather Floor Mats for Tesla Model 3 I...

    Model 3 Autopilot suddenly tried to turn off

    This is pretty common. Locally for me, one highway had good continuous dashed lines at each exit merge (on or off) and AP does great. Another highway often shorts the dashes both on and off, and the car will wobble towards the momentarily "wider" lane. Just something to be ready for - especially...

    maps are zoomed out too far when not using navigation (all of a sudden)

    I saw this yesterday. Normally nav is just on - either calendar based or w/e, but driving locally yesterday, my daughter noted "your car doesn't know where it is." and sure enough, it had zoomed out a really far overview with my little red marker meaninglessly in the middle of it. She hit the...

    Opinions on Chill mode?

    I used to flip Chill mode on for some morning commutes - it seemed to even out the AP acceleration. And for a while there I was doing some minor hypermiling to get a feel for how efficient I could be in winter. Then I had to pull off a tricky merge, stood on the pedal to get in front of a semi...

    Snippiness 2.0

    Being demanding on a free internet forum regularly correlates to real life angry assholes. Attacking people who question your partial information that's never been observed anywhere else adds further support to the troll supposition. Are you really claiming that these wires get so hot as to...

    Snippiness 2.0

    I have never heard of such a thing in a Tesla or any other car. My first thought is that water is involved somewhere - maybe OP is using the defroster to de-frost, a little melts at the lines first, so what's observed is simple refraction through the water versus warping of glass. Given the...

    Current Best Music Source Option

    Can anyone else help confirm the formatting may make a difference? My SSD is typical (I think) with 2 partitions - one for DashCam, other for music, both formatted FAT32. But like @holmgang this setup never remembers what was playing.

    Camera miscalibrated

    I noted the other day, while driving, the display appears to be delayed about 1 second. Not scientific at all, but while on AP and cruising in the left lane, I would kind of watch when my car front/rear aligned with vehicles being passed and it seemed to be consistently one second behind...

    How can this be....?

    Yeah, my initial question would be the #s you're pulling - the 'real' odometer reading at the bottom of the card, or are you just summing the trip counters? There could be rounding errors - but that'd be like 1-2 miles/week difference and lost in the noise. If you're not, I'd suggest to track...

    Location based charging limit? Home vs. work.

    I have a vaguely similar situation to OP, though just a 110v/12a at home, free charging at work, 60 mile round trip. I'm not too concerned about range, so want to minimize my cost by charging up at work. My solution so far in working around the limited scheduler is to set the max to 80%...

    Model 3, AWD Tires

    I'd rather be on stock 18s in cold/snow than wreck winter rubber on Florida highways.

    FM radio not great

    Thanks guys! I'll try out the non-HD signal and also look into TuneIn. I know my Alexa uses that when I "play NPR" at her, so I must have an account set up somewhere.

    FM radio not great

    I know most of you folks have moved onto streaming/usb music, but I still like to listen to NPR commuting to work. I've found the FM radio a bit disappointing - some fuzziness on open highways, digital noises when I get in town, overall lower volume than other inputs. Never noticed this in my...
