Does that iindicate HW4.0?

Does anybody know if the M3 Highland includes HW4.0?

I have a '19 M3 AWD with ~38K miles. When sitting idle, I see that sometimes I lose some percentage of charge, but also sometimes gain. The car is sitting in my garage and the idle time varies from a couple of hours to a day. See the energy screen below. Notice there's around a 5% drop in...

Just got 32.3 yesterday also. Still working after one day so don't know if it's reoccurring. I should have also mentioned that I got a new phone a few weeks ago - went from a Galaxy S8 to S20. I have a suspicion that the problems have something to do with the specific phone that's being used...

I've had intermittent problems with getting the phone app to let me in my M3 as many have complained. Some people (including my daughter - also an M3) bought the key fob and use that to avoid the frustration of turning airplane mode on then off, etc. I've noted that since I got the s/w release...

I have a Samsung S8 and a M3 LR. This problem has been intermittent since I got the car 15 months ago. I am also an IT guy. I suspect it's something to do with the bluetooth interface. Sometimes, if I have the phone in my right pocket, I have to take it out and wave it around...they the car...

Just a couple of comments regarding CR. I've subscribed for maybe 30 years and rely on them for the only really objective evaluations of cars, appliances, etc. etc. They don't accept advertising and buy everything they test. The couple of times that I've bought cars that are rated "worse than...

Well I'll be damned!!!! Thanks!....good to know!

The last couple of updates (2020.4.1 and 2019.whatever), I noticed a msg on the phone app - "updating software" with a percentage complete. It never told me it was available or allowed scheduling. Eventually the msg said "100% complete" but it didn't show the new release in the Tesla icon...

What is this "lever" that's being mentioned (to get out of the car)? I'm missing something here. Is there something in the manual?

I agree! And it's really hard to keep the s/w releases straight! ;)

Got it! I stand corrected on the terminology.

Thanks! Will mention to my daughter to check her car (can't see the visualizations). Although I will say that I didn't have to toggle anything after I got 2019.40.50 - the visualizations just started showing up.

I guess I'm talking about HW2.5 and HW3.0 although I've seen it referred to as MCU in more than one place. If you're correct, I stand corrected. Whichever it is, you need 3.0 to see all the 40.50 visualizations. My daughter has a M3 also built in April '19 and just got 40.50 s/w - she can't...

I had my tires rotated recently and asked the service rep if I had MCU 2.5 or 3.0 (my car was built in April '19 when Tesla first started installing 3.0). He couldn't tell me but I think he was a newbie at Tesla and didn't know where to look. I got the answer from the service manager when she...
