Anyone with a module installed 2021.36.5? Ingenext is being especially slow updating their safe list this time around. Boost SR here.

Easy fix for wind noise identified: just upgrade to a 2021.

I have had a very few instances (I'm guessing less than 5 times in over 2 years of driving) where the auto wipers get activated for seemingly no reason. Usually swipe once or twice and then stop. I'm sure it is related to your issue, where light hitting the camera housing in just the right way...

I had the smell, cleaned with Kool It cleaner and replaced filters (with OEM), and the smell is back this summer. Usually I can smell it for the first 10 - 15 seconds of running the AC and then it dissipates so not a huge deal but still annoying. I don't really understand the apologists who...

Welp, my guess was way off. Good luck with your repairs.

I just had a rear end collision on my SR+. Only rear bumper was damaged though. Replaced bumper cover, crash bar, fascia piece underneath, and 1 ultrasonic sensor. Total $2K in damage. Was out of my car only 13 days. I was expecting longer based on what I had heard about lead time on replacement...

My 3 was rear ended recently (just needed replacement bumper and crash bar) and I had a rental Chevy Malibu for about 2 weeks. Worst thing: No regenerative braking. The feeling of lifting off the accelerator and just hurtling forward like a big dumb boulder is the worst feeling after driving a...

@greentheonly on twitter proved that this is a thing they can do and probably will implement in the future (was looking for the tweet to link but can't find it). It is a good question how they will differentiate red colored Tesla's from cars you are about to lane change into though. Maybe making...

This is normal behavior. The display of cars on the visualization of the screen never perfectly matches reality nor is it completely "smooth" as cars transition past you. Hopefully this improves with newer software versions. Just be happy you didn't experience the very long period of time where...

I would bet money that in the same way that developments on the 3 made their way to the new version of the S (hidden vents, landscape screen, etc) the stalkless round wheel with the touch sensitive buttons and shifting on the screen will make its way to the next refresh iteration of the 3 & Y as...

I've always liked the look of the body color matched door handles but as someone else mentioned it's hard to get an exact paint match with wraps. Where / how did you have this done? Also how much $, if you don't mind sharing that.

Agreed--I wouldn't be surprised if they relent and allow standard wheel as an option... still stalk-less of course.

I'm sure there are decent cost savings associated with not having the stalks. Also, the stalks are a point of potential mechanical failure that is now replaced by a simple non moving button that is unlikely to fail for the life of the vehicle. I don't know about the S, but I know many 3's had...

That's why they have the back up gear selector buttons on the center console...

As discussed in this thread, it's a little bit of a pain in the butt to install but not that bad. You will feel the difference in acceleration--it's noticeable. If I have any regrets, it's only the knowledge floating in the back of my mind that if Tesla wanted to, they could potentially do the...
