    v11.4.7 (2023.7.30) auto-wipers seem drastically worse

    Confirming, 11.4.9 has fixed my previously non-functioning wipers, and no dry wipes, either! Rain sensing, so far, seems as good as it was before the dry wiping began, if not better.

    v11.4.7 (2023.7.30) auto-wipers seem drastically worse

    I’ve also been on 11.4.7.3 for what seems like an eternity. The strange thing is that early on with this version, I’d get the dry wipes all the time, but they’d still turn on when it was raining. Now, the auto wipers don’t seem to ever turn on, even in a downpour. I also got a strange...

    Lag in "off the line" acceleration

    Late to this party. Only experienced this a few times, most recently this morning, which had me worried something more ominous was happening “under the hood.” Always happens when I’m at the front of the line and want to get ahead quickly to change lanes. Glad to know that it’s just a setting. I...

    Xpel ultimate fusion PPF Model 3 Install

    That’s awesome that you provide free BOOST refills. I got a free bottle from my installer, but I don’t think refills are included. For the price of a full ppf installation, I think they should be included, so good on you for doing that! Thanks for the comment on longevity and recommended boost...

    Should I black out my badges/emblems on my black MY?

    Y-axis is personal preference. I personally like the lettering near the lower 1/3rd of the panel, but everyone is different. Look at a lot of photos, decide what you like, and if you have a shop install for you, make sure they know exactly what you want, or you may be in for a surprise.

    Should I black out my badges/emblems on my black MY?

    Thanks! I tried a little, but not much success. Honestly, I just need to get over my OCD and enjoy the car. Googling images of dual motor badges, I see a lot worse out there, with the O’s rotated and such, so I can learn to live with this and the XPEL orange peel :cool:

    Should I black out my badges/emblems on my black MY?

    Finally got the car back today after tinting and ppf installation, and the gunmetal gray matches the uberturbines perfectly! It’s impossible to capture this in photos, because of the relative contrast of black and gunmetal, which makes the badges look a lot lighter in photos than they do in...

    Xpel ultimate fusion PPF Model 3 Install

    Agreed! I came here for these answers, too. Now, almost a year later, can anyone speak to the longevity of ultimate fusion’s hydrophobic top coat, and if they regret not going with ultimate and ceramic coating, instead (or another brand of hydrophobic ppf like STEK)?

    MyQ almost closed on car

    Oh man, so sorry to hear this. I know some people add a second set of sensors at bumper height, but I need to learn how to do that. You’d think in 2023, we’d have smarter garage door sensors that create a plane that spans the entire threshold.

    MyQ almost closed on car

    The problem with homelink is that it doesn’t know if your garage door is open or shut. It just sends a binary signal and the door either opens OR closes. I had homelink set to auto open only, and one day, while adjusting my car in the garage, with the door open, it decided to send the signal to...

    $45 MyQ Subscription

    Does livekey allow auto open/close via geofence, or do you have to talk to Siri? I’ve found talking to Siri or Alexa to be problematic in a car with other people talking or playing music/podcasts.

    MyQ almost closed on car

    I was really hoping MyQ integration would solve the geofence problem where homelink would shut the door on top of your car, but it looks like this continues to be a problem, unless you override the safety mechanisms by raising the sensors to bumper height. At least since MyQ knows the state of...

    MyQ quirk

    Today my geofence failed to trigger my door to open when I got home. Had to go to the my MyQ app on my phone, and even then, after the door opened, my Tesla continued to show the door state as “closed.” That’s a new one for me. I’ll have to see if it persists.

    MyQ quirk

    The immediate closing seems to be hit or miss for me, too. I actually didn’t realize immediate closing was an advertised feature of this integration, as I was always used to the flashing/beeping when using the MyQ app on my phone, so when it closed immediately one day, from the car, I wondered...

    MyQ quirk

    Oof. So sorry to hear this! This was exactly the reason I didn’t use the geofence with homelink in my model 3. Too many instances of garage doors coming down on top of cars, and almost had it happen to me. I was hoping the geofence in MyQ would be smarter, since it knows the state of the garage...
