Brought in my 2018 lr rwd for the retrofit. They tried and said the car wouldn't accept the ECU. They said 2020 model 3s have different retrofit ecus, but that they made sure the one they ordered was compatible with my vin. They are ordering another one and will try again another day

I noticed this about 3 weeks ago. I've rebooted and had two updates since that went missing.

When powered frunk? I feel that would be more useful.

I wonder if this upgrade will be added to the referral program.

Ha.. In the roundabout to signal out Bjorn says the driver has to do a 'ninja' maneuver to hit the signal button

Not confused. When in a round about your wheel is no longer in the upright position. Now, when signaling your exit you need to find the signal button on an interface that may be upside down.

That's what I want to know too. There are so many roundabouts here. Turning left requires 2 signal actions in a round about. Signal your intention of a turn when entering the round about, and signaling the opposite direction to exit the round about. Without nav, how does it know which one you...

Just had my 12V replaced by a mobile service tech. It died last night (5+ year old original battery) and they dropped a new one in today. Super friendly. He said there are only 3 mobile techs in Southern Ontario. Not sure where the lines are drawn, but they are kept pretty busy.

Got mine may 19th 2018. Would have had it a week earlier but had some other engagements.. man was a I itching to pick it up! Still love this car after all these years. It has few squeaks and rattles. Had the control arm replaced early on. I wish I'd put the mud flaps on, I just now noticed...

I don't think one should expect to maintain status quo when using a new tech. Learn to use the new techniques when driving with new technology. Should someone coming from a stick shift "downshift" their automatic transmission when coming to a stop? No, use the tech as it was intended; don't...

Fair enough, options are nice. I just never saw the appeal of putting in the paddles., but to each their own.

Does disabling regen and coasting actually give you any better mileage than just adjusting the throttle appropriately? I doubt it. Just hold the pedal in the right place, or if you're on the highway use autopilot. High regen doesn't make for choppy driving, taking your foot completely off the...

Tesla solved that first problem. You should be able to see a whole bunch of other cars at superchargers soon because others are all dropping the CCS port. I've never understood the desire to have paddle shifters. One pedal driving is great. Personally I don't want one pedal and one paddle...
