    Speakers not working and Media gets stuck, anyone experiencing this?

    When I encounter this, I have found that I can get it to reset properly if I do the following: get out of the car (with my phone key), close the door, then get back in. It boots back up properly for me every time when I do this.

    Speakers not working and Media gets stuck, anyone experiencing this?

    I have been having this same issue for the last 2 or 3 weeks. The frequency has been increasing, maybe 40% of the time now. I was hopping that it is a bug with the last update. If it persists after my next update, I’ll send a service center request asking about the MCU. If there was a service...

    Thank you! That’s all I needed to get the screw out.

    Could Tesla be power limiting P3D?

    Could it be that car is too cold due to the weather? I have noticed this the last few days since we’ve had a cold front (in the 30’s F) blow through. Admittedly, I don’t drive my car as hard as you.

    Powder Coat Rims, Color/Finish - M3P+ Red Multi-Coat with Chrome Delete

    I also got a chrome delete and powder coated wheels. I’m sure gloss black will look good but I went with satin black in both cases and have no regrets. Only difference, my car is blue.

    Vendor MPP At Global Time Attack Superlap With A P3D! Nov 8/9

    Lots of people are painting their calipers red to look like the P3D+. In this case, he got Track Mode, so you know he’s the real thing.

    Future 3rd party hitch options for Model 3?

    I placed my order for a Stealth Hitch on a Sunday, it shipped 3 days later on Wednesday, and it arrived on Friday. I opened the box as soon as it arrived to look at how the latching mechanism worked. My initial impression was that the workmanship was second to none. The way it connects and...

    Anyone Own a Volvo with PA2 - EAP Cparison

    My wife drives a Volvo XC90 and I drive a Model 3. I agree with others. The EAP is much better. The Volvo bounces from side to side while the Tesla follows a laser-line down the center of the lane. I do like the lane departure assist (or whatever Volvo calls). It is much preferred than...

    Obviously Solution - Easy change of wiper speed

    I agree, I’ve had better wipers. Specialty, I like putting wipers on auto and just let them do their thing. Unfortunately, I find the auto setting on the M3 to run just a bit too slow for rain storms (at least here in North Texas). I find that I have to supplement the wiper speed with frequent...

    That’s the easiest color to own - it even looks good dirty!

    XPEL Stealth or Ultimate Plus for Deep Blue Metallic?

    I was planning to get a full XPEL Srealth wrap on my Deep Blue Metalic Model 3 from the moment I ordered it. Once the car arrived (2 months later), I loved the factory blue too much to change it. I didn’t care for the chrome though.

    Black and Blue

    I just picked up my P3D+ after getting the wheels powder coated, chrome delete, and window tint installed. It really changed the looks; I couldn’t be happier.
