I know that there are lots of Teslas in California, USA. In a lot of the state, heat is rarely needed, and air conditioning usually is. But, I'm not from California. I own a 2019 Model III LR, and I've had it since I bought it new. Whenever I turn on climate control, it always starts with...

A software update came in last night. Either the update itself or a reboot that it did seems to have completely resolved the problem. If it returns, I will update, but for now, it is resolved. Thank you all.

I've owned my Model 3 for almost a year and a half, and just decided that I would get a garage door opener. Got a Chamberlain. The car is parked in a one car garage attached to my house. Since having it installed, I park the car in the evening and when I come back in the morning there are...

Hi, Since the last software update, after parking the car overnight, if I choose to listen to a radio station no audio plays. The only way I can restore the audio is to do a full/hard reboot (hold down both steering wheel buttons while holding the brake pedal down). Anyone else had this...

Before our "friend" COVID-19 became well known, I plotted out a route from home on the east coast to (I'm leaving out the names of most national parks that were on the route)Seattle, then San Francisco, then Grand Canyon, Albuquerque, Dallas and back to NJ. What I found was the vast majority of...

Thank you....Quick follow up. Do you still have good vision to the rear, or does the Tesla rear sunshade block view to the rear? Mark

I've had my M3 for almost a year now and it has been a near flawless experience. One of our small complaints is that on a sunny summer day the sunlight that comes in through the roof really is annoyingly hot, even with the A/C on. My goal is to have sun-shades that I can keep on while driving...

2 of my kids moved to the west coast (we're in New Jersey) and we planned a road trip going to Seattle, then San Francisco, Albuquerque, Grand Canyon, several other parks and monuments and back home. When the pandemic struck, we waited and waited, but finally have decided to cancel all...

Thank you everyone.. I used toothpaste and a soft toothbrush, worked gently and in a couple of minutes the black paint was gone. Thank you all for the suggestions.

I have a white model III (8 months old). Someone opened their door into mine in a parking lot and left a black paint mark on my door. How can I, without damaging my car's paint, remove the black paint and restore the car to the pristine condition that it was in? If I have to go to pros, I...

Model 3-long range--Last Monday we went to an evening concert in my Model 3. When we left at 11:15PM, I backed out of my parking spot and by accident nudged the gear shift from reverse to neutral while the car was still rolling. This caused the software to "freak out" (service tech's words)...

Today, I was on a 200 mile road trip. While on the highway, I went through some rain, and the voice command "WIPERS ON" worked just fine. Then the rain stopped, and I issued the command "WIPERS OFF". Well, "wipers off" was echoed on the screen, but the software interpreted it as "NAVIGATE TO...

Seems that is settled. Now on to my bigger (well, to me anyway) question: I got my Tesla in August. ( My previous car had tires that needed air every few weeks and to deal with that I bought a high capacity 12v DC pump. It draws too much current to use a "lighter socket" to get 12V DC, so...

I got my Model 3 in July. Now about 4k miles. The temperature has just gotten into the 30s(F) and I have noticed the following: After I get into the car and am ready to go: 1. If I'm backing up, the back up lights don't come on for about 10 seconds and the "active guide lines" in the tablet's...

I can tell you what I know. My town uses the "New Jersey Uniform Construction Code" permit application. (And to be 100% open, I just found this... Had I known about it, I probably would have done the work myself.) On pg 2, there is a section that states: 1 C. "I further certify that I will...
