I just happen to be due for my filters today and thought I'd try the 3d printed part. I took the STL, print it and attached it to the new (Wix) filter. Before I tried putting it in I ran an endoscope down to check how my filter housing looked. It looks very different than the demo unit from the...

I think this is intentional. It sounds like it's sounding on the door pocket speakers only, which might be more comfortable for those in the back. It also helps distinguish it from music, IMO.

I'm on 2022.40.4 and it's still there. I've had to disable auto-high beam from the lights menu, which means I can't use auto-high beams without toggling it in the menu. It's frustrating. How does this benefit me, the consumer? I feel Tesla is trying to force it's half-baked software on...

Chiming in with the same 'bug'. I have radar and HW2.5 so I'm not on Tesla Vision. Has anyone seen this improve on 2022.36?

It warmed up this weekend and the temperature the auto climate seemed to work well. I've had multiple instances of this issue when the exterior temp is close the HVAC set temp this year.

Does yours have a heat pump? Mine is resistive PTC heat and standard AC.

With spring arriving in the Midwest and the warmer temperatures, I've noticed that my 2018 Model 3 is experiencing issues keeping the cabin cool over a few drives in the last 3 weeks. During the past two summers I've kept the AC around 70-72F in the summer with no issues. This year I'm having...

Where does the connector with different pins populated head to? Are there corresponding missing wires in the harness as well. or are they all populated? I'd be somewhat surprised they'd have a separate module if additional components downstream were required. I feel if it was "properly"...

I've watched ScanMyTesla over the years when it comes to preconditioning my RWD. When it shows preconditioning while traveling on the interstate, the battery inlet temperature immediately begins to rise and the stator temperature drops. Depending on conditions, my theory is they bump up the...

I might call Tesla directly to see if they can look into the issue and/or bump up your appointment. If you're observations are valid, this sounds serious and could impact the safety/usability of the vehicle. I assume your AC still works, no noticeable change in performance or anything else...

Yep. They removed it with the update from January 2021, along with botching the rest of the UI.

I noticed in the car is reporting 5 super charger stalls at the original Madison location. Did they add two more stalls?

I had the door fail to open by the charge handle, phone and tapping the door for the first time ever this week. It has worked subsequently without issue. I'd expect the failure mode would be something mechanical breaks, in which case we'd hear the door attempting to actuate. I couldn't hear...

It's absolutely not worth switching out the lead acid in the Model 3 for a lithium ion battery, IMO. I can only think of disadvantages to switching to Li-ion, besides weight, which is neglectable unless you're attempting to create a race car and have stripped all creature comforts out of the...

I'd like to see the environmental impact of manufacturing of the battery (including mining, refining, transport etc) quantified as well when compared to an ICE vehicle. I've read that todays batteries cost around the same environmental impact as manufacturing the vehicle itself.
