    "Site Unavailable" screen from TMC - why?

    No I haven’t. A difference I just noticed is the IP address it says I’m browsing from is an IPV6 address whereas I used to be assigned an IPV4 address. Here is the message text (I’m leaving out the animated robot and I also concealed my actual IP address): OOPS!! Looks like Tesla Motors Club...

    "Site Unavailable" screen from TMC - why?

    I've been following this forum for years now, and I recently moved to a new home only served by AT&T DSL service. Probably not coincidentally, I now am often greeted by the "Site temporarily unavailable" screen which indicates I've been blocked by some sort of security service that the forum...

    Yellow Arc Line: Meaning ?

    Once I had the yellow arcs during a drive as well. It wasn't due to a curb, as they were completely stationary on the screen for miles. I did not reboot - during my next drive they were gone and I haven't seen them again.

    Green Light Detection - Too Fast!

    ok I had to turn the beep back on to test it again today. And I found that we’re both right, sort of. If you press the accelerator right after the light turns green, within a quarter of a second or so, you don’t get the beep. But if you wait until you see the green light on the car display...

    Green Light Detection - Too Fast!

    That is not true in my experience. If you press the accelerator even a little bit before the 1/2 delay is up, you get no nag.

    Green Light Detection - Too Fast!

    I have to agree with OP on this one. I found myself deliberately creeping before the light turned green just to avoid the warning chime, so I just turned it off because that's a bad habit. I'd be happy even with 1 second which if I'm watching the light I can easily beat. Even 2 seconds would...

    Millions of micro chips on windshield, possible to fill them?

    I'd wait and replace it after you get a crack in it. It's almost assured that if you replace it just because it isn't perfect, the replacement will get a crack in it a couple months later ;)

    Model 3 HW3 retrofit questions, wait time, issues

    I purchased the upgrade from EAP to FSD when it was offered for 3K a few months ago but hadn't pushed for a retrofit because I didn't want to take the car to a SC. But the mobile service handles the upgrade just fine now. I requested the service this past Tuesday and it was installed today! I...

    EAP to FSD upgrade price drop by $1k. Will be $3k until July 1st

    I just bit the bullet today and went for the EAP to FSD upgrade. That gets me the HW3 computer (I have 2.5 now) and keeps the AP improvements coming. Without HW3 I don't see too much room for improvement in the quality of the EAP functions, and I want my car to keep surprising me. Besides...

    Tesla to Raise FSD Price by $1,000

    Elon's is a specious argument. Viewing cars in a purely economic sense ignores the deeper relationship that 95% of car owners have with their rides. The type of car we choose to own reflects on our own personality, and through familiarity gained by years of ownership of one car we know its...

    Whose M3 has NEVER been back to SC for ANY reason? Any??

    Delivered to my home in Dec. 2018 and I've never been to a SC. Did have mobile out once to fix the broken wiper button which started out intermittent and eventually quit working. Back then you really needed that button to work since the auto wipers weren't as refined as they are now. But...

    Cybertruck satin/brushed stainless steel only?

    How about something you just can't do with any other vehicle: engraving. I could see at least a small market for CT "tattoo" shops for a personal, permanent statement.

    "Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

    Ugh, this sounds like a terrible idea. I'm already annoyed that a lot of software these days is paid for by subscription only (i.e., you cannot buy it) and don't get me started on streaming music vs. owning your own media, but if Tesla starts making me subscribe to horsepower I'm outa here.

    Premium Connectivity cost $9.99/month for many Model 3 versions

    If the subscription to some other service was included in their definition of "Premium Connectivity" when you purchased that option (which I did, it was included in the LR AWD feature set), then when you start paying $10/mo for "Premium Connectivity" to continue it should work the same as it...

    Tesla - Please Improve Sentry Mode

    I remember those aftermarket alarms that would give a verbal warning "Step away from the car" or something to that effect. When I heard those, it made me want to key the car even though that's something I would never do. I think the same applies to the current sentry mode - it treats innocent...
