    Front USB slots no longer working

    So they started working a couple of days later with no issue again. Got into the car today and stopped working again. Wonder if this is a software issue.

    Drivers seat killing me!!

    Yes, saw this, thank you. Just note the instructions here on how the lumbar works are incorrect. It’s actually two separate bags. Press forward: inflates both bags Press backward: deflates both bags Press upwards: inflates the upper bag, while deflating the lower Press downwards, inflates...

    Drivers seat killing me!!

    I have a tough time with the seats as well. I’m a smaller dude, about 5’5” and 170lbs, so that may have something to do with it. No history of back pain, and have never had it in any other car before. I pay a lot of attention to my posture, seating position, both in and outside of the car. I’m...

    Optimum No Rise and Wax - Trying to avoid swirl marks

    I’ve just been doing a two bucket wash with Meguiar’s Gold and a microfiber mit. Dry with Meguiar’s Water Magnet drying towel. Takes 15 minutes and I’ve avoided all the swirl marks Wash Wax All gave my first Tesla.

    Front USB slots no longer working

    Hey guys, about 800 miles into my Model 3. During today’s drive the USB ports in the front stopped working - dashcam and phone charging no longer work. Back ones still work. Tried the soft reset using the two buttons on the steering wheel, and tried powering off from the security menu -...

    In July - regen limited at 90% charge?

    What I mean is that a charge to 90% limits my regen the next morning.

    In July - regen limited at 90% charge?

    Have my new, second model 3, and noticed something I never did with my first in the summer. After a night of charging in July (lows in the 70s), I have a small amount of limited regen. Is this something new with a 90% charge to preserve the battery better?

    Sentry mode Viewer on Iphone

    Can you delete the files on your drive from your phone? That’s what I would love to be able to do.

    Optimum No Rise and Wax - Trying to avoid swirl marks

    Thanks for all the help everyone. Seems to me like maybe a good middle ground (and not having to dish out for a foam cannon) is ONR with Wax is using the two bucket method with a mitt. My car gets dirty, and I don’t get to washing it every week, but it seems like a good compromise.

    Optimum No Rise and Wax - Trying to avoid swirl marks

    Thanks! I drive a lot during the week, and the car is usually dirty, so maybe the foam gun is the way to go. Do I need to use two buckets still after the foam wash, or is one with a grit guard okay? I’m assuming you still need to dry with microfiber towels. I tend to be less than gentle with...

    Optimum No Rise and Wax - Trying to avoid swirl marks

    So I know this has been discussed to death, but let me explain my current situation. Have my second black Model 3 - with the first one I used Wash-Wax All Waterless wash, and despite my best efforts, ended up with swirl marks all over the paint. Trying to avoid that on car #2, though I’m not at...

    If Tesla is a safer car, why the insurance cost does not reflect that?

    Also, companies have trouble deciphering Tesla VINs. Someone who uses NJM said they found out they just assume every car is a performance model since they can’t always tell.

    Anyone else find the foam/padding in their seats expands when hot?

    So this is going to sound strange, but when I get in the Model 3 for the first time on hot summer days, the seats feel almost like they’ve expanded and blown up. Think sitting on top of cushy, soft marshmallows instead of IN supportive car seats. Doesn't feel right at all - more like a comfy...

    Lr Rwd Sticker Shows “lower Trim”

    Just got another Model 3 LR RWD and noticed the sticker shows “Lower Trim PUR black” Was curious if anyone knows what the Lower Trim refers to. As far as I know, the car has the premium interior. Seems to have rear heated seats and traffic navigation. Wanted to make sure I got the right car!

    Model 3 Scratches All Over And What Tesla's Tech Said

    After just a few months of ownership the areas around the door handles on my black 3 became badly scratched. If people need to wear microfiber gloves to open your car door without leaving damage, the issue is the paint, not what you’re doing.
