True, but the OP asked about it. I've not seen any tests showing elaborate sound isolation work has made any difference. But the tubing does make a difference in many cars in total noise reduction.

Surprisingly the simple roof tubing seems to be the one mod that consistently makes a difference, albeit not huge. Much more significant work on door seals and dynamating, etc. seems to make very little difference.

I have the maxpider trunk and frunk mats....like em a lot.

Have not experienced the topping up on 20.4.4. I'd suggest a reboot and see if that helps.

My car is less than six months old and has never been in freezing temps.

So lately it seems that the auto A/C will only turn on the foot vents...this is when it is 80 degrees F or above outside. I can shut off the foot vent and turn on the face vents, but then the system is in manual mode, so I need to select auto mode again. Anyone else have this issue? I'm on...

Has anyone tried air shocks on the 3?

I reported this question and suggested the moderator move it from where it was, which was buried in the middle of an unrelated thread.

My car spent 30 days in a body shop. They moved it around a bit during that time but on the last day they went to back it up and a rear pad was frozen to the rotor and it literally broke the pad and fell out to the ground. 4,400 miles on the odo. Performance model.

Lack of supply results in higher prices for an in-demand product. Lucky him. I say he should sell it for as much as he can get. Let the market decide what it's worth.

What did Tesla do with all the early suspension they took off of cars of people that complained that it was too stiff? Seems like they could at least offer that suspension to you even if you had to pay for labor to switch it out. It's probably sitting in a warehouse somewhere gathering dust...

You might consider a prepainted bumper from Tesla. Parts are reasonably priced IMO. My rear bumper, unpainted was $350. I think I read here somewhere that painted front bumper is $900, but not positive.

So if you hit something that is in motion, such as a tire tread kicked up from a truck or a moving animal, you are covered under comprehensive which usually has a lower deductible than collision. If you hit something stationary, such as that same tire tread, but it is not moving, then it is...

When I travel with a rack for road trips (not in the model 3), we won't let the bikes out of sight even with a cable lock. Years ago a friend of mine stopped for lunch on a road trip with roof rack with forks locked on. The thief simply rocked the bike until the rack broke and ran off with it...

You should post this question in the battery and charging forum. Check PG&E website for info on Time of Use plans. For example I pay $.09 per Kwh overnight from SDG&E. Usually the website will have a calculator to help you figure out which plan is best for you. $.22 not too bad though...mine...

Do you have sentry mode turned on in the menu?

I notice on my charge screen it always shows 5a, until I plug in and then it goes back to the default I previously set of 30a.

I'd love for the rear facing side camera to come on screen when I activate the turn signal.

Car was driven into the body shop so I don't think it was ever towed...they did remove that wheel to repair that rear quarter panel, but I can't imagine them needing to tow the car around the lot. There are some grooves on the inside track section of the rotor and then the pad imprint with some...

Hey VOIP, I recognize your username from the mt bike forum. I transport my bike inside the car and it works well. One question I have about those suction racks is how do you put a lock on the bike? My bike is XL 29" wheels.

Got the car back. Although they didn't have the broken pad still, I could see on the rotor and imprint where the pad somehow became bonded to the rotor. It took quite a bit of driving on low regen to wear that spot away. You can see it in the picture attached. Notice the dark spot in between...

Hmm, I didn't get an email confirmation.

Have you guys seen this? $850 EV credit this year! Electric Vehicle Climate Credit | San Diego Gas & Electric. :)

Ya, it does seem fishy. They said they're covering the expense. They're way overdue for completion and I've been on them. Wonder if it was something simple like breaking the wheel center cap and they didn't want to admit their screwup was causing further delay. Have never taken one of the...

Ya, they're going to the SC now to pick up a set of pads. Sure hope they are in stock.

I got sideswiped on the freeway. Front fender replaced and rear quarter panel repaired, mild cosmetic damage to front (buffed out) and rear wheel (the one with the broken pad). 4 wheel alignment checked out perfectly. The tires of the Tacoma rubbed against my front and rear wheel and front...

No pics, car is at body shop and they said they were backing the car and heard a clunk and the pad broke. 4,000 miles on the car. I don't even know what broke in half means. Clearly the steel backing plate shouldn't have broken, so perhaps the friction material separated from the backing plate?

Anyone ever had a rear brake pad break in half?

I saw a youtube review of the 3 and the tester actually said he couldn't get the console doors to stay closed and it showed him slamming them shut and bouncing back. He was serious. He kept doing it over and over.

In LA some of the top AM stations are available as HD2 in FM. 640 and 1070 specifically.

Ha, the guy flipped you off...doesn't he know not to F with AP ;-)

Frustrating. I'd write letter to Tesla legal department. Send copies of all receipts for supercharging you paid for and request reimbursement and to have the free SC turned back on. I wouldn't remove your card from your account as some have suggested as you may then get frozen out of a...

6 lanes on the Northbound side

compensation will be first 5 years of robotaxi commission free ;-)

Did a similar 10 hour job on the car, looked perfect and then got side swiped a week later. Still in the body shop.

That sucks...I had an almost identical situation as you. Sideswiped by a Tacoma, although I was not on AP. Car currently at body shop. Let's see a picture of the body damage.

You're right, weight distribution about perfect on the 3, but it's more about which wheels are generating the most torque...usually biased towards the rear, although most reports I've read report fairly even front to back wear. But not the case with everyone as you can see earlier in the...

Are you saying that F150 driver got arrested? Hopefully so. Have a link to more info? My Tesla Cam helped prove accident fault when the guy that hit me denied knowing anything about it.

Hmm, good find. Tempted but have same reservation as you.

Why cross rotate? I thought Tesla called for simple front to back rotation?

Suggest having the shop order the fender and bumper, if needed, before you leave the car. I got a fender and rear bumper in a few weeks so not too bad, then brought the car in.

Front fender is aluminum...can't be repaired, cost is $250 from Tesla, so pretty cheap. Mine's being fixed as we speak.

I'm not sure a Tesla painted bumper is better than body shop painted, given all the paint issues we've read about. FYI Tesla charges $350 for an unpainted bumper and $250 for a front quarter panel.

Anyone care to pull that piece out and see if there is a part number on it?

I have the sticker too. Hoping some people will chime in on whether it works in all locations. Toll roads say to mount at bottom of windshield on left or right, but as I recall Tesla manual said to mount transponders to the right of the rear view mirror. Im guessing it will probably work...

The public thinks Tesla’s Autopilot is safer than it is, an insurance group says

Yes, they say Full Self Driving CAPABILITY. Do you read that to mean something less than full self driving? Most people don't read the manual so they never see the disclaimers about highway only.

so the gap was still there after they reinstalled?

It's a shameful and dangerous deception by Tesla to call it full self driving.

I was going to suggest this too. Had it done on my S4 and wasn't perfect but only cost $150 and then touched it up with touch up paint. As far as blending, yes that's how body shops do it. Mine is in the shop now after getting side-swiped and they will blend the paint.
