Agree on insurance preliminary estimate...my preliminary estimate from the insurance company was $2,500 and final total was $10,000. There was no hidden damage, just a complete low ball. Preliminary estimate used much lower labor rates despite the company having per-negotiated labor rates with...

This is incorrect. AEB can activate.

Not even close for So. Cal at least. Tesla certified shops don't charge Tesla rates on Buicks, only on Teslas. Edit: Just found my invoice : Mechanical labor $175/hr, Body $125, Paint $75. These are rates my insurance paid to a Tesla Certified body shop.

Those are some cheap labor rates...is that from a Tesla Certified Shop?

That guy just escaped death, check out the drop off on the right side of the road where he initially went off. To the OP, I say, you'd be crazy to use it. It looks like a fun road to drive, why not enjoy the road and drive yourself?

Amusing that a guy on the GT3 RS wait list says weight doesn't matter.

More than a thousand pounds heavier than a model 3...might not be as fun to drive.

I don't think the OP said anything about AP

I don't believe you can adjust AEB, the adjustment is for collision warning.

It was my attempt at humor...it seemed that everyone in the thread was denying it's an issue so I was poking fun at the fan bois. Love my Tesla but some things are not ready for prime time.

wow 30k!

ya would be nice to see some before/after dB readings...a fresh set of tires are always quiet so hard to compare unless you have two new sets you are switching between.

hmm, good reminder to turn off 'auto lock' during service.

Tho shall not speak evil of Elon's magic ...it's perfect in every way.

I had a similar issue but with the AC in the summer. Does your 'keep climate on' work? And the temp control from the app? If not, you probably had what I did, which is a bad temp/humidity sensor.

Nope, I checked mileage and car was locked down to 60mph and in chill mode. Done plenty of track days and never heard of this happening.

Yeap, rear pads fused to the rotor on one side while car was at body shop. They put car in reverse and pad broke and fell out on the ground.

This thread is useless

Rochester NY vs. Santa Fe, NM...a bit of a difference in sun intensity.

So Google is taking credit for a Tesla made map?

You may want to tell Tesla to remove the credit at the bottom of the map that says Google Map Data 2019 I really doubt Tesla makes their own maps...routing software I could see. The Electrek article is old and and Tesla's 'almost done' could mean years as we know ;-)

The maps come from Google, so I'm guessing the traffic data does as well.

I had the same situation, $5k coverage and on top of that he denied the accident...thank goodness for TeslaCam which caught it all. Keep your rental car receipts and you can bill the other person's insurance for expenses not paid by your insurance and then the other company will prorate the...

Hmm,I'll give it a try. I was wrong about headlights being able to remain on...when leaving headlights on and opening the door, you get a warning and then when you close the door they turn off...so what is the purpose of the warning?

No, just press a little bit once stopped and you'll see the H on the display to indicate you are in hold. It's quite natural.

use hotspot on your phone to gain access.

Wow, impressively thorough guide! Thanks.

Yes, want to occasionally keep them on while car is locked. This is a normal feature for parking lights. I've learned that I can just keep headlights (and all lights on) when I park, but not as ideal as just keeping parking lights on.

The auto wipers go crazy at max speed for the first 20 seconds or so even in almost no rain...It's like they detect a lot of water and go on max speed but don't re-sample for 20 seconds or so. When driving they seem to be ok, but occasionally I have to hit the manual button or put them in...

Not sure how to reconcile the many snow videos on Youtube and this post. Here is another.

Same issue here. I rebooted car and phone and turned BT off and on again, still no go, so I just used the card key and then returning from my destination the phone again worked just fine.

For an ICE vehicle yes, for a Tesla, I would disagree unless you have a way to open all the necessary valves and pump the fluid out of all the battery channels and then pump the new fluid into all the proper channels with out air gaps. Take a look at the coolant diagram of the 3, it is rather...

Hmm, my understanding was the most recent software is supposed to delete old files when necessary to avoid this issue. Is your flash drive full?

Is there a trick to keep the parking lights on after parking? I tried and it seems to shut them off as soon as I open the door. I tried with full headlights and it provides a warning but seems to let you leave full headlights on after exit if you like. Seems like this same warning and...

I wasn't using 'scheduled departure' so I don't think that's it.

We're just talking about the minute after exiting the vehicle and you have already stated that the power use is minuscule, so why did Tesla modify the software in this most recent release to do this? Never used to do it.

Ya, so seems odd for Tesla to bother with starting and stopping the juice.

Same here, this is recent behaviour. I don't think it's charging, but just providing shore power to the car's HVAC which remains on for a few minutes or so after getting out. A bit annoying to have the wall connector kick on for a minute and to be paying for juice at non-off peak rates.

go for it, but there are several posts about NYC people with bent 20" rims...not sure if it's simply the weight of the Model 3 or a combination of that and a soft cast wheel. Also, charging could be challenging in the city...do you have a place to charge at home? If you have a shared garage it...

Got my first alarm notification last night while at dinner. Went out to check and nothing was amiss. Came home and checked the sentry videos and I could see Disneland fireworks going off in in the distance in the rear and sideview cameras along with my car's flashing lights. I wonder if every...

I think Amazon had it for $18 yesterday, not sure if the price reduction remains.

Yeap, began noticing the whine recently. Came about the same time as a software update.

yes, special protocol is you must have a hot dog with sauerkraut (special request) while waiting ;-)

for the cool Tesla cap Fedex to me...perhaps gift for 1referral? Or one year anniversary gift?

Is the model 3 suspension different from any car? Don't they all have a rigid linkage to the chassis?

Yes looks good. I was looking at the ebay listing and was wondering does it screw into existing holes? or how does it fasten? In terms of noise reduction which of the items do you think worked best?

So if there is noise resonating in the frunk, perhaps a Frunk lid carpet liner would help cut it down? The same people that sell the wheel liners and trunk liner make a frunk lid liner.

I had a similar but not identical issue and it was a bad temp/humidity sensor.

Was this liner mounted over the existing plastic or in place of it?
