    2018 Model 3 Resistive Cabin Heater not working while driving

    Mine failed as well - 2018 M3 at 54K miles. Their remote analysis seems to have me just replacing two harnesses (see attached); I intend to inquire about the "High Voltage Circuit Integrity Check" (I haven't been able to locate anything other than "General Diagnoses" in similar cases).

    Which Smart Summon is better: "Come to Target" or "Come to Me"?

    Interesting - how far away were you when you did the Come-to-me? I think I had better result (at least a couple of times) when I did Come to Me and was a bit further away (couple of lanes). The Come-to-target target I had to move around a bit to stop it from showing the path on the grass and...

    Which Smart Summon is better: "Come to Target" or "Come to Me"?

    Jamnmon66; I agree - it's definitely in its infancy stage across both options. I got a couple of lost connections too and was happy that it happened in an empty parking lot

    Which Smart Summon is better: "Come to Target" or "Come to Me"?

    Novox77; I agree. My (iPhone 10) GPS seems to fluctuate a bit and seems to be a bit more nerve-wracking for me (car yup, oh - pedestrian, watch out - curb, etc). I'm going to continue my "testing" with the target method. I had a good laugh this morning from a guy that had the cojones to smart...

    Which Smart Summon is better: "Come to Target" or "Come to Me"?

    Azred - thanks for responding. I don't think there is necessarily a "right" - Tesla wouldn't have gotten anywhere if they constantly worried about what could possibly be a PR disaster at every turn (esp. w/a consumer product); to Garlan's point, it's the feature's starting point and can really...

    Which Smart Summon is better: "Come to Target" or "Come to Me"?

    As I'm sure, many of you have been playing with Smart Summon since its release (I practically finish my Starbucks coffee while still in the parking lot!). My testing has consisted of some early morning use in order to cover some empty parking lot and some beginning traffic tests. More than once...

    Fairfax County property tax appeal

    Yes, only charged for partial year last year and now full. It's $1873 + reg fee to be exact (saw the ~$1900 + ~$500 and just started typing) :)

    Fairfax County property tax appeal

    I just received the same awakening - I had a 2018 $490 tax bill for my (09/18) M3 purchase - I had paid my 2018 taxes and thought it was a mistake. I goto the Fairfax DTA site and lo-and-behold for 2019 I see a $1950 tax bill (vs. my old 3-series ~$200/yr bill). I did a bunch of research but...

    2018.42.4 NO AP?

    I experienced the same thing this morning (no EAP, cruise, etc. from ~7am until ~ 8am). I performed a reboot - didn't fix it; I then suspected a sensor or issue related to the bad weather but wasn't sure. Would be nice to have some type of message that showed real-time information related to...

    How do you carry house keys?

    I didn't want to carry any last keys anymore and spent Saturday researching smart locks; picked up the August one and looking forward to install.

    ICE Guilt

    BMW 328xi. I spoke with the same car salesman that sold it to me back in 2010 (BMW of Fairfax). It was funny - when I told him I was picking up a Model 3, some of the salespeople started crowding around and he seemed to be more excited than I was ("as soon as you get it, come back and show...

    Tysons Corner, VA (AWD) Waiting Room

    Picked up my 3 at Tysons! Had my checklist - didn't even use it. Michael took care of me (none of that 5 minute sign-and-drive stuff). Car was flawless; was a bummer driving in the rain afterwards, but it handled like a straight-up champ! Looking forward to some fun driving this next weekend.
