    Autosteer is not beta, very much alpha

    The software is perfectly ready to leave Tesla for any user who has read the manual. Half the miles I have driven on the car have been under autosteer. It has never failed me in a construction zone, because I've disengaged it before entering said zone.

    Illinois EL plates

    I transferred the personalized plates I've had for 40 years off my trade-in, on to my Model 3 when I took delivery. Even though the EL plates are cheaper now, I suspect they will not be in the near future. We're not exactly paying gasoline taxes to maintain Illinois roads.

    Drive In, Not back into SC

    Bolingbrook IL, Rockford IL, and Dubuque IA are all back in. Never seen the drive in setup yet.

    Can’t unplug car without opening door

    I wake the car up with the phone app, then unlock the charging cable with the phone app.

    Best way to get all weather mats?

    Where did you get that information? My contact at WeatherTech denies that they are the manufacturer of the OEM floor liners.

    Poll: For those with Zero degradation, what level do you set your charge limit?

    Like Fred, I have the SR+ and charge to 90%. When complete it shows either 215 mi or 216 mi. The car has only 2600 miles on it since April, but since I am recently retired and no longer riding commuter trains to work, I'll be putting more miles on it.

    New software update behavior?

    I followed your procedure (except that the car was on WiFi) and got the same result. Had been waiting for 2019.32.11.1 for a while now after getting 2019.32.11 fairly quickly in the update cycle. The car immediately checked for updates, then initiated a download. I think you've stumbled on to...

    Is it possible to order Model 3 Standard Range with AWD and Premium Interior ?

    How much are you looking to save vs a LR AWD, that has premium interior standard?

    V 10 lane changing

    Is this with NOA turned on or manual signaling?

    Tesla V10 software update rollout: post here if you are still waiting

    Sorry if I missed seeing this elsewhere, but 2019.32.11 has been recording rear camera footage in my USB TeslaCam RecentClips directory. I haven't had any Sentry incidents since the install to see if it records in SavedClips directory as well. There is now a front, left, right, and back mp4 file...

    My terrible ordering experience. Anyone else go thru this ?

    A year left? In one year the other guys are going to have a Supercharger network comparable to Tesla's and everyone will go electric? :D:D:D

    Tesla V10 software update rollout: post here if you are still waiting

    Downloaded last night, installed this morning. Just tested Smart Summon in a fairly easy case. Diagonal parking in a nearly empty school parking lot. Car backed out of the space, stopped, signaled, turned right and then straightened out to come to me.

    Sentry Mode letdown

    Police report. Give them the license plate.

    Supercharger speeds?

    That prompts the question — how much time does the battery need to prepare? Does it depend on ambient temperature and state of charge?

    Software 2019.32.2.2 thread

    Installed remotely from my phone, then rebooted the car when I got home. No issues so far, but not a lot of driving on the new version yet. Will see on road trip this weekend. Thanks to all of you who tested all the previous 2019.32.x.x versions. I was happy to get this one.

    Did you have to do anything special? Mine is still spinning and not updating current status with car.

    App shows "Temporary maintenance: Please try again later"

    App unlocks car, does not show current SOC. Shows "Updated at 1:29 PM" with a spinning update icon. Haven't tried any other features.

    Do you regret your color choice?

    Very happy with my red. Before I was married, I owned two sporty red cars. After we had a kid, I was "forced" into a white dad car. After 20 years, now glad to be back into a sporty red car!

    Either driving video or sentry video?

    This happened to me for a while after an update — maybe 2019.16.x.x. My wife was complaining that every time she went into the garage my car's headlights would come on and it was "spooky, like Christine." I rebooted the car, then I went into the sentry settings and made sure it was set to not...

    Rejected 4 cars, was told they would not request more cars for me

    I have to admit, when I took delivery back in April, I was so focused on looking for scratches, dings, and paint problems that I did not even think to measure panel gaps. As I look at my car now, I realize I got a real gem. The panel gap variance from one side to the other, for trunks, doors...

    While breaking, if you get the error message "Both pedals pressed - Motor power removed"...

    We'll let you slide this time, but we better not see any apostrophes used in plurals, or the word loose when you really meant lose. ;)

    Autopilot Didn't Brake

    Not sure how extensive the camera/sensor coverage is, but the Altima may have been in a Tesla autopilot blind spot.

    Automatic Emergency Braking Failure, the Movie

    Video appears to show Tesla driver asleep at the wheel on I-5 in Santa Clarita I think not getting into your Tesla to drive if you are sleep deprived is a good idea. I think not getting into your Tesla to drive if you are subject to micro-sleeps is a good idea. Level 5 FSD is not here yet. We...

    Either driving video or sentry video?

    I'm getting video of both. In the SavedClips folder, I will typically see someone walking close to my car in the second-to-last set of front/left/right camera clips. I get driving clips as well as long as the red light camera icon is visible on the display. SR+ HW2.5 April 2019 build.

    2019.28.3.1

    Just installed the update today, after being stuck on 2019.20.4.4 for quite some time. I received the software update notice on my phone late this afternoon. My update preference is Standard. However, I rebooted the car last night. SR+ HW2.5 April 2019 build.

    FSD price is going up... to WHAT PRICE?

    You're not going to get a "Summons" in a Tesla unless you street race someone or steal electricity and the cops catch you.

    2019.28.2 waiting room

    I am happy to let all of you test 2019.28.2 before I get it, and just let 28.x come to me in its own time. HW 2.5, no FSD.

    Who Else Had ICE Ruined For Them?

    Same here. Renting ICE on vacation in Maine was just downright depressing. Any time I'm forced to drive an ICE car I just think "What a slug!"

    FSD trial?

    I didn't order. I looked at existing inventory online on a Sunday. Went in to the Tesla store only 2.5 miles from my home on Monday and got a test drive with a sales guy. Selected the red SR+ RWD I had seen online, put down my deposit, and the sales guy wrote it up. Took delivery on Thursday and...

    FSD trial?

    I took delivery third week of April with Autopilot on a SR+ RWD. To my surprise, it's apparently EAP. I received this email today: As an owner who has purchased Enhanced Autopilot – you can now upgrade to Full Self-Driving Capability at a reduced price of $3,000. Get access to current...

    I hit the drag strip again last night - new personal best!

    Wow, 7% to get from Pleasant Prairie to Union Grove! That's only about 16 miles. I only have a SR+, but it might be fun to try my car out. Is the place really crowded on Friday and Saturday? I'm planning to be in Wisconsin in September for a poker game. That might be a good Saturday diversion.

    Chrome delete in austin

    I guess it's a generational thing. Chrome was sporty in my youth (50s-60s-70s), and looks right to me. Now I guess it's old-fashioned, just like me. You still didn't tell me when it started. 2010s? I never even noticed it until I joined this forum.

    Chrome delete in austin

    Old guy here, who's been driving dad cars for the past 20 years. Got a M3 SR+ in April and loving it. Somehow, I missed the whole chrome delete style movement. When did this become a thing? I tried to google chrome delete but all I get back is how to remove the Chrome browser from your device.

    Need Approximately 55 Ft Of Cord

    Yes, the 120V NEMA 5-15 should cover your daily usage overnight. I don't use my M3 for a work commute, so low amp charging currently suits my needs. After I retire later this year, I'll probably need 240V service.

    2019.20.2.1

    I received 2019.20.2.1 download yesterday afternoon, installed in evening but didn't drive until today. It reset Sentry Mode off, but that's my only complaint so far.

    2019.20.2.1

    I'm familiar with the brake/press both scroll wheels down reboot. What is the full shutdown/walkaway reboot procedure?

    Sentry Mode WAY too sensitive

    The last few days, I've suddenly been getting Sentry events happening in my garage. With the exclude Home checkbox checked. Running 2019.16.2 since early June, but this is a recent phenomenon. Tried brake-two-button reboot but still happening.

    Emergency Lane Departure - False Positives

    On Sunday June 9 at around noon I finally had my first ELDA event, but it was not a false positive. Driving on a divided state highway in the left lane, about a mile to my interstate exit ramp. Got some time to get over, so accelerated past some slow traffic in the right lane, giving myself...

    Emergency Lane Departure - False Positives

    Since seeing this thread I have been driving my 2019 M3 RWD SR+ carefully in what I consider boundary conditions. So far I have been unable to set off ELDA in controlled situations, such as letting the car drift out of a lane. I've always had to manually correct the steering. I have never shut...

    DA told me that no charging adapters are included with purchase

    It looks like April was the sweet spot for ordering/taking delivery of the SR+. I got the NEMA 14-50, the J1772, USB cables, and a car that I'm (so far) happy with.

    Model 3 paint wearing off

    I have these on order. They've already raised the price on them, so they must be getting popular as word gets out about rocker paint damage from road grit. Were you able to use the existing nylon fastener on the rear guards? Another member here mentioned that he had to buy longer fasteners for...

    2019.16 Update

    Just finished installing 16.2.73d3f3c. This is a M3 SR+ RWD PPI and Autopilot. How do you tell whether your car is HW3 or HW2.5?

    Vendor New from EV Tuning! Molded Rubber Floor Liners

    The logo doesn't bother me much. I am a big fan of WeatherTech as they are a local Chicagoland company, and they have a noticeable logo if you're looking for it. I am awaiting their 2019 Model 3 offering, but will give you guys consideration as well as summer turns to fall and the need for...
