etrailer's part number is C45FR. The bumper cover/bottom plate assembly wouldn't fit and I'm pretty sure it's because of the additional thickness of the hitch mounting plates relative to the thickness of the original mounting plates that are no longer used. I tried "tugging" in several...

Sorry to hear you had the same problem, but happy to hear it wasn't my fault. Poor customer service only makes it worse. I think COVID-19 has given many companies an excuse to reduce their customer service budgets. I WILL ABSOLUTELY NEVER BUY ANOTHER CURT PRODUCT! I sent them a copy of my...

I purchased a Curt Class 3 trailer hitch for my 2018 Model 3 from etrailer.com. While waiting for the hitch to be delivered I downloaded Curt's installation instructions from the etrailer website. The job seemed simple enough and required just a few hand tools (not even close), including a...

I used Apple Lossless after watching a Tesla audio system review by Matt Farrell on his Undecided YouTube channel. As he said, it worked beautifully for months. Then the software update started giving me Loading Error messages. There has to be another reason why this is happening, especially...

Apple Lossless. That worked well for months before the software update.

Tried that now. No change. I also tried using another thumb drive with the same results.

Can you explain the procedure for a hard reboot.

I'm having the same problem. I had about 40GB of music on USB from iTunes library with no problems until a software update. Now it won't play anything from USB. The files all show to be there, but I get the "Loading Error" message instead of music. I tried erasing the drive, then reloading a few...

Great! Just what I wanted to hear. Thanks much for the quick and pertinent reply.

I'm going to be away from home and my Model 3 will sit in the garage unused for about six weeks. My question is whether I should leave it plugged into the Tesla wall charger in my garage or let vampire drain do its thing and then charge it up when I get home. I'm concerned that if I don't leave...

OK, I just checked and I'm running on 2018.50.6 4ec03ed. Does that mean I'm way behind? If so, should I do something to acquire the latest?

As a new (3 weeks since M3 delivery) Tesla owner I'm confused by one aspect of this thread. Posters are referring to versions 5.xx and 8.xx firmware while my car is running on software version 9.0. Are "software" and "firmware" two different things? If so, how would I know which version(s) I...

Got it. Thanks, Ken! Lots of innovative features.

Thanks for the tip, Ken. I haven't been able to find the app on the App Store. Can you send me a link to it or more specific identification of the app?

Plugzin, I like your idea about the seat sensors and multiple beeps. So now we have to get Tesla to write it into their code. devilmountain, the PIN idea is a good idea until Tesla finds a better way, though it doesn't protect the phone and other valuables from being stolen.
