Is this open yet? I hope it will reduce the service wait times, 3 weeks is a long time to wait for some issues.

I've had it happen several times in both mine M3 and the one I rented before I purchased mine, I almost exclusively stream from my phone, so I assumed it was a phone related issue. But it's been a thing with Teslas before this update.

Yes, apparently they dropped the price to $200 for pre-2021 years, and for 2021 SR+ it's $300 and now includes a heated steering wheel. Just purchased it myself, was really missing a heated wheel as we get into the winter, it took like 5 minutes after I bought it to show up in the app, so happy...

I think it was 2021s built after May or June 2021. My 21 SR+ built in May has passenger lumbar, but maybe they kept lumbar for non SR+?

For me on a SR+ with sentry enabled, I've noticed ~1/2% loss per hour, for example, I saw about a 12% loss in a 20 hour period. And with Sentry off, you'll barely notice any loss, and with cabin overheat protection on and in the summer, you'll notice significantly more. As for leaving it plugged...

It's my understanding that the 3 & Y are almost identical up to the glass in the doors, it's lifted an inch and a lot taller. I would've preferred the Y, but since my goal was cheap, and since they phased out the SR Y, the 3 just made more sense. My only gripe with the 3 is how low it is, but it...

For Auto Pilot, it's funny I actually had the opposite experience, I started using it all the time, figuring if I'm in stop and go traffic every day, it would save me headaches, but I stopped using it when I noticed a slow down but the car didn't until it was close and locked up all 4 brakes to...

Going into my first winter with the Tesla, and I'm wondering if this is normal or if I have some issue with my M3. The past week the lows have been 45-50, though I park in a garage, I have scheduled departure setup and I'm not plugged in. I drive my commute, 20 miles, which today took 30...

I've been all over the map. I wish I could say I bought all these cars because they were logical, but... Licensed in 2004, had these in order, some 2 at once: 2001 Ford Taurus SES 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander XLS 2010 Mazda CX-7 2014 Ford Mustang GT Base 2010 Ford F150 STX 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid...

Huh, it's good to know that a flat surface is possible, fairly easily too!

Same here, I get it almost every time driving on a particular road at night, so it's something about the lighting on that road I guess...

Ford Prefect... I just re-read Hitchhikers Guide...

Well, it's hopefully taken care of. I did some sleuthing, figured out who the Service Manager was on LinkedIn, based on their email naming pattern, guessed his email, and copied my sales guy about my frustration and disappointment with the location and the brand, within 30 minutes the service...

It's technically new, as it was never titled. It's still sold by Tesla, is still has a warranty, it's definitely not "as-is". As for the safety, Tesla doesn't do inspections in PA because they'd have to be capable of doing emissions testing, and they don't have the equipment to do it, so any...

Here is the alignment they provided, seems pretty out of sorts.
