Looks like a beautiful car! I’m not sure you’ll get $32k though, despite all the add-ons. I’ve been spotting similar vehicles for sale at dealerships for under $30k, some now well under. If you get to a point where you really need to move this guy, try $29400 and expect to be talked down to...

I never found a solution, per se, but the issue seems to have gone away. I don't know if it's because I finally found the right equalization or if it was really fixed, or if I'm somehow gotten used to it. Honestly, I forgot that I created this thread until today when TMC sent me an email about...

I visited Marquette last week and drove around the Meijer parking lot looking for signs of construction. Nothing at all. My friend works at the Marquette County permitting office so she looked up the permit status for me and verified that it's approved. That seems to mean that the ball is in...

Are you sure the autopilot Hw3 computer upgrade will give your Model S sentry and dashcam features? I thought those were dependent on the speed of the MCU, not the autopilot computer. They’re separate.

This site seems to be free to use. I stopped there with my Model 3 twice in March and was never billed for my usage. My car doesn't qualify for free supercharging so I expected the $0.26 per minute or whatever the cost is, but it showed no cost in the car during charging and nothing showed up on...

I wrote an email to our new Secretary of State last night. I suggest *everyone* here do the same! [email protected] Please be respectful and clear. My email was pretty long, but I will paste it here to give an idea of what I think might be helpful to solve the problem: Ms. Benson...

I've used maybe 6 supercharge locations over the years and the Traverse City one is the only one I've ever had problems with. It was November of 2017 and at least two of the stalls didn't work. (Red ring around my Model S charge port.) I did eventually find one that worked, but it was slower...

Since the repair using a new wire harness I have had no problems whatsoever, so that seems to have been the cause and the fix! I know my original post is very negative, but that's not out of malice. It was really a bad experience. Now that it's been working properly again for the past six weeks...

Yes, I acknowledge this. I've had some really impressive service visits, like the time I had my Model S in to have tire pressure sensors installed in my aftermarket wheels and Tesla instead upgraded my car ("old" 2012 version) to the new style tire pressure sensor computer that shows the actual...

In the summer of 2017 there was some news that Tesla was developing its own music streaming service. Most people seemed to think it was a pointless distraction for the company, but I've been thinking about this a lot lately and have come up with some good reasons Tesla would pursue this: Cost...

I picked up my Model 3 in October, VIN 93xxx. I'm no audiophile, but I do appreciate good quality audio, and am bothered by very low bitrates or other distortion. I really loved the premium audio in my Model S and expected the Model 3 to be similar to that. The audio system in the Model 3 has...

I see that the forum doesn't like some of my photos. They work if you click the thumbnail versions individually, even the "broken" ones, but the slideshow view doesn't work correctly.

Quick update for anyone who read my long initial post and is interested -- Tesla towed my car to Cleveland, OH on Friday night and returned it to my garage on Thursday. A six day turnaround is pretty good, but I had no Tesla loaner, which was disappointing. They replaced the "body harness"...

I tend to agree, but want to point out that my 2012 Signature Model S did not come with parking sensors. The original owner paid Tesla later to add them and you'd never know they weren't original-- the onscreen display showing distance from obstacles was perfect. Imagine how complicated that...

Executive summary: If you drive a Model S, X or 3 and the brake lights won't turn off, take this very seriously, because you might be in for a major inconvenience, or even long term battery damage. My Model 3 was working great (except for the defective turn signal stalk and intermittently...
