I've got this issue still and made a service appointment and advisor said that Tesla knows of it and will resolve with a FW update but no ETA. I pushed back as my issue is just (I think) with the right rear door speaker but they still said it was a software problem. I rebooted the car but...

Same issue here. Although I notice the problem more when playing podcasts from my phone over bluetooth. I moved the balance of the sound system to front only and the issue isn't present then. Definitely annoying and I need to make a service appointment. Mine is mid year '22 LR.

Get charging setup for home then drive and enjoy.

If you have the tax liability I would wait for next year and just order a new one. Would be similar money in the end minus FSD and that's up to you to determine worth of.

There is definitely some waste heat from charging though. So during those times your plumerias will be more content. Best thing for the plumerias would be to put them on insulated platform off the garage floor slab, think sleeping directly on the cold ground or an air mattress.

+1 to another who now just has no desire to mod my car and deal with any of the potential headaches. Mountain bikes I'm all in on still but cars, I just want zero issues first and foremost.

I'll admit that if I could somehow justify a 911 GT3 or Cayman GT4RS and could buy at msrp I'd have to do it. Having a performance ICE car for random fun rips or track days would certainly be enjoyable. Enjoy the the RS3.

I used the Tesbros rocker panel ppt kit on my car and am impressed with the increased protection for the money. It should be done from the factory along with mud flaps IMO but oh well. I'm sure there are other kits as well. Pretty easy to do although the rocker kit is a little complicated as...

Honestly your 2004 Prius is the perfect first vehicle for a conservative teen. As a parent though I do understand wanting your child in a safe car. Tough call but I'm also not sure the latest safety tech would make that much of a difference if he's a good driver.

EVs surely save money on transportation costs long term but at that savings level and income I'd highly also recommend a cheaper car. Bolt for next year with tax credit is your answer although you might not want to hear that.

Four years of use and I had no issues with the glass roof on our old '18 3. You should be fine. I've come to realize that the majority of heat entering the car is actually through the windshield. It's a huge piece and to my knowledge is not treated at all. Applying ceramic film there...

I'd not charge to 95% and then leave it that long. Charge to 80% and then leave it and make sure to not check it on the app or have sentry mode on. Should be fine.

Yeah I wondered about that hole too. I installed Tesbro mud flaps recently and they have a little gap there too although the flaps go up higher than yours. I put some gorilla tape on on both sides of the mud flaps when I installed them (all black so not noticeable). I'll take if off if...

No brainer not to IMO when used Tesla values are so high. The new cars are quite a bit better as the sum of all the new parts I think. Performance or not is still the same personal determination as to wether it's worth it or not.

lol Got me there! :p
