I was sorting out my parking meter change (yes, there are still coin-fed meters in service in many back-water locations) on the top of the flip-up lid of the console just ahead of the two drink holders in my 2019 M3, when I accidentally touched the forward edge. The lid popped open and several...

Recently we were away for a month and left our 2019 Model 3 locked in our garage, on charge (80%). Our neighbor looked in once or twice weekly to see that all was well. About two weeks into our absence while we were aboard a cruise ship in the Mediterranean, I received either a text or an email...

The screen on my M3 has recently started to show the location of local parks with green, tree-shaped icons - I have not seen this before and I cannot figure out how to switch them off and on. What's the process? Thanks Murray C.

I have always kept the pressure (when cold) on all four of the 235/45R18 tires of my 2019 M3 dual motor at 42 psi (290 kPa), as recommended in the manual and on the door jam stickers. This morning I had the tires rotated at a Tesla facility. When I picked up the car the technician said that...

Re: brake fluid - the manual (2019 M3 dual motor - 40,000 kms) recommends inspection and replacement if needed every two years. Can this be extended if necessary? Can it be done by a trusted non-Tesla service facility? Re: cabin filter - if the filter is purchased from Tesla, how difficult is...

And how do you go about doing that? The manual indicates the path to be Controls > Safety & Security >Tilt/Intrusion, but on my 2019 M3 I don't see Tilt /Intrusion, even if I make sure that Sentry is not on as several posts have indicated. After I select Controls, I see only Safety, not Safety &...

Tomorrow I am taking my first ferry ride since acquiring my 2019 M3. I note the mention in the Owner's manual of a Tilt/Intrusion setting, which according to the manual, is accessed as follows: Controls > Safety & Security > Tilt/Intrusion. I cannot seem to access Tilt/Intrusion. I also note...

How do I change my home address on the Tesla mobile app?

My concern is the potential damage to the window seals and the windows themselves if there was no 12v power, without which the windows would not drop those few mms when the door opened. The damage might occur when the door was closed. And yes, I do recognize that if this was a life-threatening...

Several clarifications requested: i) what damage might occur when using the manual front door release on a 2019 M3 in an emergency situation? ii) is it correct to assume that the caution message that is supposed to appear on the screen could not be displayed if the 12v battery is dead? iii) if...

If I don't wish to download a software upgrade, how do I prevent the notice from showing up every time the screen wakes up? It will not go away unless I proceed with the download.

Thank you both. Yes, I do mean 8:00 pm to 7;00 am - whoops! Each unit has its own dedicated circuitry. The charger was installed by a certified electrician when I moved here and approved by the strata at that time - this new bylaw for the complex has just been introduced. The charger is inside...

My thanks to GtiMart, ATPMSD, and LoudMusic for your input. Just to review - my audience: the strata council in my townhome complex; they have very limited knowledge and/or exposure to EVs their concern: the council is worried that EV chargers will somehow overload the strata lot's electrical...

A recent development - a peculiar 'moaning' noise periodically emanating from the dashboard area of my M3 dual motor. It is most often audible when slowly rolling over a raised section of roadway, such as a small speed bump or a slightly raised section of pavement. I don't believe it originates...

I am trying to explain to the strata council in my townhouse complex that my ChargePoint level two charger requires a minimal amount of electricity to maintain the desired level of charge on my M3 once it is achieved. How do I best make my case?
