    Model 3 Software Update 2019.5.x

    Another unexpected feature I think with this release. The charge port I think now unlocks on it's own with bluetooth. Previously I always had to unlock the car by opening a door to get the charge port to open with a click of the charge cable button. Tonight I just went out the the garage with my...

    Model 3 Software Update 2019.5.x

    For me the best part of this release is the location based auto folding and unfolding side mirrors. No more need to manually push buttons on the screen every time I pull into and out of my garage. Now the mirrors go with the garage door, tried it and it works great. This kind of thing is what...

    Autopilot Trial, disappeared the next day :(

    Has anyone gotten any resolution to this? I started an executive care incident on Monday and the only response has been that it is firmware related and I have to wait for that to be fixed and pushed to me then the trial to be pushed again. I'm about to do a lot of driving and don't want to wait...

    Model 3 camping mode?

    Ok, good to know. But back to the OPs question, this should be a good workaround for sleeping in it and the 3 does it just like the S always did.

    Model 3 camping mode?

    I thought you just put it in neutral instead of park and manually set the parking brake. Then you can set the climate control, stereo, interior lights, etc as long as you want to without it timing off or having to stay in the front seat. Isn't that camping mode?

    First day with Model 3 experience

    On #6, navigate to one destination at a time only right now. Unless the car needs superchargers along the way in which case they get inserted. Nice thing about Tesla, the software is constantly (but so far very slowly) improving. The feature will probably come someday in an over the air update.

    Received Model 3 Today - SO many problems

    On #1, 2 snd 3, sell the ICE, no one will want to ever drive it anyway and the battery will be dead when you try to move it to give your guest the spot. On #7, go ahead and park at a gas station stall in one of your Teslas if there is no one waiting. Even if you sell your gasoline yard tools...

    Dropping $973.36 for a new charge port tomorrow.

    Agree completely. Also have a 2015 S70D and nothing but minor glitches when new. Almost 60K now and didn't get the ESA mostly due to this history. In an attempt to stay away from the expensive service center, it's about time for me to start figuring out the best processes and products and start...

    Phone as Key Issues

    Quick update. Picked up from service yesterday. They upgraded to 2018.4.9. Cards work B pillar again. Both phones have worked as keys 100% since. Happy...

    Charging strategy for battery longevity

    Completely agree with the previous response from mblakele. Ideally keep the mean charge around 50%, but more important just to stay away from the extremes for your usual charging. The only thing I would add is, as presumed by the OP, it is very easy to forget to plug in occassionally. Even if...

    Phantom touch on the Model 3

    In my case I don't think the volume changing on its own is phantom touch screen issues, could be software glitches. Have never had protective film over the screen. Here's my post when it happened a few weeks back. Has never happened again. Lights stay on after exit and music keeps playing

    Phone as Key Issues

    S70D owner, M3 picked up late Dec. Started out with 2 card keys and 1 phone working as a key, later got the 2nd phone working. Actually both phones working maybe half the time on average, card key or unlock button on app as backup. Last few weeks, wifes phone stopped working as a key. Then both...

    Model 3 - Firmware 2018.4.8 9b31a91

    Me too. 2017.50.12 still. No update since early Jan. Beginning to wonder if I need to call and ask for it to be pushed to me.

    Chill Mode is like Range Mode when conserving energy! Or is it?

    Sure, as long as you don't touch those brakes, which we'd all do a lot more with no regeneration.. Regen is there for efficiency, to recapture range when decelerating is necessary. Can't always coast.

    Lights stay on after exit and music keeps playing

    Was wondering when I'd read about someone else with this issue. I had the radio part of what you describe happen a few times last week one day while parked in the garage. In my case the radio not only turned itself on but the volume was ALL THE WAY UP! Turned it down, closed the door, radio...
