    Front Passenger Safety Restraint System Fault

    I got this warning when my 2019 was about a year old. They fixed it with a "service kit". Fast forward to 8/2022 and now at 50067 miles, I received the same error again. I just dropped it off at the service center this morning and after approving warranty work outside the warranty period (67...

    Preparing my Tesla Model 3 for a long [road] trip?

    As mentioned, using the car's navigation system is seamless. It will tell you when and where to stop, and when you are ready to leave so that you make it to your next charging stop or your destination. But that is only going to get you there. If you plan to drive around the area you are...

    Interior temperatures too high

    Mine is the opposite. About once per month for a couple of days the interior cabin temperature reads low. The car can sit in 100F temps in direct sun for a couple of hours and the interior temp only reads about 95F (in app) while the actual interior temperature is closer to121F. This means Cabin...

    Glass roof shades for 2018 Model 3?

    I bought these for my 2109. No problem with fit. They work well with the added shade to prevent any light fromcoming through.

    Steering column harmonic vibration when telescoping

    Service tried to lube mine ('19 Model 3) after a year and it didn't work so they replaced the entire column. Fast forward to now and the second one is acting up. Tesla lubed it which worked for about a month but the problem is back. The car is approaching the end of the warranty so I am going to...

    Go Anywhere app short hops between charging stations unnecessary?

    These are all guides and cannot predict the actual conditions that you will encounter. 225 should be easy but if you have 2 passengers and luggage, rain, a headwind, you leave at 4AM and want to use the heater because it is chilly out, and you don't fell comfortable driving under 20%, you will...

    It is not a unique stretch of road.

    Model 3 long range vs other premium sports sedans

    Main difference is the Tesla has more wind/road noise and the ride is not at sophisticated comapred to a C-class or 3-series. IMO

    2 USB Ports under screen not working

    I just posted this in another thread: A mobile ranger literally just left my house after attempting to fix this same problem. Software updates and reboots didn't work it so he replaced the appropriate hardware with no luck. So I have to bring it to a service center. He thought the problem was...

    USB in front console stopped working

    A mobile ranger literally just left my house after attempting to fix this same problem (but neither side works in my case). Software updates and reboots didn't work it so he replaced the appropriate hardware with no luck. So I have to bring it to a service center. He thought the problem was...

    Charging for Las Vegas roadtrip

    I believe you might be able to make a long stop in Baker that will allow a round trip back to Baker without a charge in Vegas. You'd have to plan it to check the possibility.

    Eliminate phantom braking.

    Turn TACC off?

    I love cruise control and use it all the time. It is an important feature to me. But the Tesla TACC's phantom braking makes it nearly unusable. After every update I give it a go to see if any improvements have been made but I usually experience phantom braking again the first day and I abandon...

    Yes. In a perfect world when all cars are FSD. But we are decades away from that.
