As I'm just mentally tallying things up...may I ask if you rest your head against the headrest for 30+ minutes at a time like for a longer commute? My running theory is a constant warmth is causing the defect, not chemicals. A lot of drivers actually do not touch the headrest with their heads -...

Your response is not an answer to the question. Our cars turn OFF wifi when the car is put into drive, thus requiring manual activation of wifi again, so we can use our hotspots while driving. To the OP - I use T-Mobile One (they too change their offerings like Tesla...randomly and frequently)...

This is interesting. Certainly haven't experienced this on my Model 3. As a hobbyist detailer, I inspect/clean wheel arches, and there's not been any build up like that.

good luck to you. hope you chime back in with an update. personally skeptical of such a calibration helping but hoping to be proven wrong.

If you have an issue reading the manual in the car, you can use a phone or computer to view the PDF manual: https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/model_3_owners_manual_north_america_en.pdf As far as my experience is, Tesla does update this manual to reflect changes in software for the car...

This started happening more with recent updates. It was mostly gone for quite a few versions of the software. I haven't driven enough recently after getting 12.11 to see if it's gone. I know 12.16 is rolling out now...here's to hoping the arguably dangerous behavior, has been resolved.

I haven't had luck with Tesla addressing mine but perhaps it's not bad enough yet. +1 to warranty running out.

I don't play with the viewer too much so it may not be a new change, but I noticed since since 12.5 and now I'm on 12.6, the viewer bundles videos together by location...so there's not a crap ton of clips to click through...I can just use the slider to scrub through 10+ minutes of footage...

Not sure what you may have settled with... Yes to Eibach springs for a nicer look and drive. Stock wheels are 20x8.5 et.35; if you don't want to look less aggressive, you'll aim for a wheel with that size and offset, or use a 5mm spacer to enhance the look, or find wheels with an et. between...

I've done a few backroads and it really depends on the speed and elevation changes. I haven't actually experienced too much loss in general compared to driving on track because it's the really long sections where you go flat out that blows through the battery the quickest. My Wh/mi for most...

If you can reliably replicate this and have checked your tires, then it's worth a service request in case there's any mounts or motor components going bad. I only feel slip in the rear if coming to stop over painted "STOP" signage on a downhill - I live in SF.

Is this basically what you're looking for? Obviously covers more than just the cutout... https://www.amazon.com/BASENOR-Deadening-Soundproof-Protective-Insulation/dp/B081PXTLNZ Pretty neat discoveries though. My July 2019 has the solid rear-deck but the interior trim piece that's in the cabin...

Looks great - been a fan of the height from Eibach springs and a fan of the wheel design too. Since you stuck with the same P3D wheel and tire sizes and brand, have you noticed any differences in efficiency - poisitive/negative? Totally understand if you don't keep track, it's just a curiosity...

No I don't believe they are the supplier - but I don't have the official intel. If they are, then T-Sportline is making a decent profit.

Sadly it's expensive since those trim pieces, unlike the rest of the chrome pieces, are actually part of the small quarter glass as one entire assembly. Also means if you tinted that little piece you'll need to re-tint it. I've used some pretty darn aggressive chemicals on my car such as...
