    PSA: check for rust at this point

    Yes, you have to open the door it's in the upper leftmost area of the driver quarter panel

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    I haven't heard of this before, but some AV software really hates the language I'm using. Try adding Sentry Keeper to your AV or security software's whitelist or exception list to see if that helps.

    I have an appointment tomorrow for condensation inside my driver brake light- definitely going to ask them about this.

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    Just got v10!!!!! Hopefully I'll be able to spend some time working on this tomorrow. I'm also planning on integrating more options with the video merge software. Stay tuned.

    PSA: check for rust at this point

    Thanks! Not sure how I missed that. Hopefully they won't make me wait until it eats through the outside area to repair.

    PSA: check for rust at this point

    Where is this rust warranty documented? I just read their body repair and it specifically excludes rust from what I can see.

    Sorry not going to code without the ability to test myself. Hopefully I'll have it soon.

    If you could put a word in with Elon to get me updated to v10, I'd be happy to do this! :)

    Everyone so far has been driver's side. Mine definitely touched and now it's fused :(

    PSA: check for rust at this point

    Hi Guys, Matt from Tech Forum posted this video: Now there's some talk accusing him of not mentioning that he's been in a couple of fender-benders which is surely why this is happening. However, I have not had any body work done and have not had any car to car encounters with my car and I...

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    I tried to use Trend Micro's submission request form, but their submission process is BY FAR the worst I've ever seen. I would not use their products, folks- if they can't even do a simple form like this, I wouldn't trust their software to protect my computer!

    That's a false positive. AV software doesn't like VB-based programs.

    Is the Tesla app server down again?

    I just re-installed myself- same issue. Didn't try logout/in. Next time.

    Did you see my solution? Response #8. Give that a try, exactly as I described.

    PS4 game controller?

    Yeah, still no luck, however I have 2 PS4 controllers and the other one works just fine (though not with BB2). When I plug the bad one in it glows orange for a second, then black. The good one glows orange on and off. Would like to play BB2, but the rest of the games are pretty bad- yes I...

    PS4 game controller?

    I just tried using my PS4 game controller with no luck. I tried resetting the controller with the little pin hole. Unfortunately every time I plug it in, it flashes orange once and goes black. I've seen this work on youtube videos. Anyone have a suggestion?

    Lol the folks at our local race track understand it now!

    hearing ding from tesla model 3 everytime i get in

    It's something from a recent update. I've noticed this also and it definitely didn't used to do that.

    Which Tesla can beat most sports cars?

    Yeah, not sure a lot of them were laughing. The crowd in general was not too happy either. I think we need to add some speakers to the car so I can make all the 'vroom vroom' noises lol.

    Which Tesla can beat most sports cars?

    Yep- certainly the quietest finale in the track's history. Unfortunately I don't have any footage from the championship bracket, but there is one video of the Model S and me there- it's the final of the open class. His launch control didn't quite work that time which is why it was close...

    Which Tesla can beat most sports cars?

    I took my P3d- to the track last week. This track has a very short 300 ft drag race which is almost custom-built for Teslas. I won one bracket and lost another to a P100D who then went on to beat me in the finals. Some of the cars I raced were reported to have 1000hp with NOS, but the...

    P3D- vs P3D+

    SHOCKED, SHOCKED that Tesla delivery folks are still giving wrong information about the cars. </sarcasm>

    To you, what are the small, lesser known things that make the Model 3 just brilliant?

    I also like the fact that the car drifts backward when stopped on an incline- I love driving stick and it's a tiny bit like that. yet you can tap the brakes and hold it. I know that's a strange one that most people dislike.

    Do you regret buying (or not buying) FSD?

    OTOH, if it really DOES happen, I would have been willing to pay around $10k for it as an add-on.
  26. astrowunder

    Do you regret buying (or not buying) FSD?

    I bought in with the special $2k sale in March. I would not have spent much more on this 'promise of future feature', but I figured if it actually happens during my car's lifetime it would be awesome and I'm helping the cause. Today, there's no way I would spend $7k in the hope of it becoming...

    How much battery does A/C use with "keep climate on"?

    The only time you would want to engage the 'keep climate on' is if you're camping or hanging out in the car for a long time. The usage will depend a lot on outside conditions. I think Bjorn Nyland did a test of this if you search on his videos. If I remember right a really cold night can...

    To you, what are the small, lesser known things that make the Model 3 just brilliant?

    Car camping is fantastic in the back if you're small enough to fit. 'keep climate on' results in a night of perfectly maintained temperature. Frunk keeps stinky leftovers from polluting the entire car even if you forget them overnight Insane amount of storage in front center console areas...

    To you, what are the small, lesser known things that make the Model 3 just brilliant?

    Actually, you CAN! The trick is (without your phone or key card), 'try' to open a door or the trunk. The door won't open, but this wakes up the car enough that the charge port will now open with the button. (random pro-tip)

    P3D- range?

    Really? That's kind of strange. Around town I'm getting in the low 200's or just under 200 and that's with plenty of stoplight races. Teslas are generally more efficient at lower speeds unlike ICE cars which are big heat-producing inefficient blobs of waste metal. The fact that ICE cars are...

    P3D- range?

    This is very close to my experience. Right now the Stats app is saying I've been over 100% efficiency average for 2 months and about 6k miles, which means my range is actually over 310 right now, but come winter it will be closer to 230 in Wisconsin.

    Lifetime supercharging changed to pay per use- update

    In June I logged over 5000 miles almost entirely on superchargers and it was free- nothing changed for me.

    Oh- I didn't read your message closely enough. Should be enough to just uninstall office 2013.

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    This is caused by a corrupted windows registry. You must uninstall office professional, then install sentry keeper, then re-install office pro.

    Almost Got Into Crash - Took Over from Auto Pilot

    Did the car do an alert? I had a semi wander into my lane and I got the red alert sound instantly with the red 'take over immediately' message. In my case the alert went off before I could react, but I reacted fast enough to avoid a collision.

    Another clueless article..."How Ford Will Eat Tesla's Lunch in the Next Two Years"

    The only 'Tesla Designs' that have been seen are all fake images. Tesla has not released their actual design yet, but it's supposedly coming within months.

    Front passenger window randomly goes down

    Same here- probably 4-5 times in the last 9 months. Luckily it's usually only a few inches

    Another clueless article..."How Ford Will Eat Tesla's Lunch in the Next Two Years"

    Lol, just lol. Every article written about Tesla by industry shills: In (x) years, brand (x) will definitely beat Tesla because by then they'll surely have something nearly as good as the 2012 Model S and definitely Tesla won't be coming out with anything else that shakes up the entire industry...

    Solar Powered Tesla Model 3?!

    The OP is using a 45 watt panel- I hope he didn't buy this recently because Harbor Freight has been selling a 100 watt system for the same price for some time now. I have the 100w system. The system is at best only about 60% as far as power out after going through the inverter. So on a good...

    Greater than 500mph at V2 supercharger

    That's where I started it- a mod moved it here- don't know why.

    Greater than 500mph at V2 supercharger

    I'm assuming this was a firmware update. I saw 500 max for quite a while, but haven't been to a supercharger in several weeks- probably won't again until September. Thanks.

    Greater than 500mph at V2 supercharger

    I literally just saw a facebook shot seconds ago of someone with over 600 mph. The last firmware update must have fixed this.

    Greater than 500mph at V2 supercharger

    I've been meaning to post this for a while now. I've been seeing 500 mph charging rates at superchargers lately, but it's odd that it peaks at 500 even though the KW continues to climb. I did a quick test you can see below and the actual rate is closer to 540 mph. Not sure why they're...

    Hello - new to the forum and looking for opinions...

    Just a couple of more things to consider- 1) Tesla's over the air updates cause them to improve over time. My model 3 is significantly better now than when I first got it (even faster!). 2) Tesla's supercharging network is fantastic. It does sound like there are a lot more options for fast...

    FSD price to go up $1k and Enhanced Summon release date, both ~August 16.

    As Elon mentioned not too long ago, compared to getting FSD working, automatic charging should be a piece of cake. Of course whether or not you can sleep through the car pulling into a supercharger and plugging in is another matter.

    FSD price to go up $1k and Enhanced Summon release date, both ~August 16.

    Respectfully, If (and it's a big if yet) FSD becomes reality, I would find $7k to be extremely cheap for my car to be able to drive me to any destination while I sleep or do work- even if I never rent it out.

    FEELING SCAMMED BY TESLA

    Your story mirrors my own. The only difference is I have an email from the SC saying they put in my referral code (even though they apparently didn't). The 1st dozen times I used a supercharger I was charged. I called and emailed many times before finally getting someone on the phone (after...

    Model 3 Center Console Wrap

    I've had the brushed metal for 9 months. It does have some scratches and nicks- not bad enough to redo yet.
