    Service Mode Question

    I don't know the answer, but my car is at the body shop and does the app tell you when they put the car in service mode do you know? Mine was normal for a few days and today the car was moved but now it says vehicle connection error. The shop told me they usually put it in service mode, but I...

    Totaled Tesla =*-(

    Your settlement goes to you not the body shop. If you have a dispute over the fees then they can sue you.

    Water Pooling in Frunk After Automated Touchless Car Wash

    Also note that the manual recommends against car washes.

    Water Pooling in Frunk After Automated Touchless Car Wash

    Take it in and have the seal replaced/frunk lid adjusted. Not sure why you thought it would be less likely to leak after a year?

    Why does Tesla say the car will come find you in a parking lot?

    $5,000 property damage liability is NOT full coverage. It is state minimum. Shameful to have coverage that low if you can afford a BMW and a Tesla. Your car is covered in full, but only $5,000 for someone that you hit? I was just hit by someone with only $5,000 in coverage and it won't cover...

    Seriously, $5,000 of property damage liability coverage?

    Performance Model 3 Inventory Deal

    Good deal. Was it a demo or had some miles on it?

    Sentry Mode question(s)

    First of all sentry mode does not work while in motion, car must be in park. DashCam does indeed record your blindspot while in motion using the front fender cameras, in addition to a forward facing camera in the windshield.

    Sentry / Security incompatible?

    Of course you can, security alarm needs to be on, then activate sentry mode. Security alarm switch becomes grayed out since you can't turn it off if sentry mode is on.

    Sentry mode notification

    Have to pull the drive. I believe you will get an app notification if there is a serious issue/alarm. Otherwise it can simply be triggered by people walking by or loud car, etc.

    Tesla Software 2019.16.2

    After receiving 16.2 forward collision warning was reset to early on my car. Might be same on yours.

    Suspension engineers?

    What is your build date? Perhaps you have the earlier build with stiffer suspension.

    P3D followed by BMW M2 on Nurburging

    The Tesla looked a bit squirly later in the lap, but didn't realize it had a full load of passengers, so that could certainly explain it.

    Which numbers should I believe?

    What speed are you running on the highway? what percent is city streets vs. highway? Hilly terrain definitely draws more power. The downs don't make up for the climbs. Are you leaving sentry mode on all day at work? That's about 8 miles of range lost...did you exclude that from the math...

    Do all Model 3 Performance come with track mode ?

    Just the performance models.

    Homelink

    Last resort, opener memory maxed out (discussed in manual). Reset and reprogram all remotes.

    New owner - noticing excessive body roll

    SR+ and performance have same suspension....although some performance models have ½" shorter springs which makes very little difference in body roll. Don't think mine came with the ½" shorter springs.

    For those of you with a ceramic coating...

    I used Gyeon Mohs. I read that it's a bit more forgiving than some of the others.

    New owner - noticing excessive body roll

    My Peformance model out handles my Audi S4...both on Pilot Sports, so ya hard to compare an S5 with sport tires with the Tesla with all season tires. I heard you can get 18" pilot sports with the acoustic foam. Reducing your air pressure a bit may help too.

    Are Tesla replacement body panels pre-painted?

    I thought I read here somewhere that replacement panels were prepainted? The body shop says no and even if they were, it wouldn't be good as the panels need to be blended for a good match. By the way, looks like front fender is IN stock in Freemont...we'll see.

    REAR FOG Lamps

    I see way too many cars with rear fog light on in clear weather. It's pretty annoying.

    For those of you with a ceramic coating...

    Ya I got lucky with clean paint as well, but take a look at some of the threads on here and the swirls and scratches that come on some new Teslas are horrendous.

    For those of you with a ceramic coating...

    He's in the SF Bay area, people pay those prices up there. I did it myself and highly recommend ceramic coating. However, surface prep is important....need to buff out any scratches/swirl marks and remove all wax, etc. Since it's semi-permanent you want to be sure you get the prep right or...

    Found out what’s causing undercarriage composite to break apart

    Wow, that's crazy. Yes, as Alan says, take it in right away and insist they work on it. You are still within your return period so use that as leverage if you have to. Shame on Tesla.

    Tail lights not coming on consistently when it is raining?

    Yes, performance package. Didn't realize that non Performance don't get the signature lights.

    P3D Limited Regen when charging to 90%

    Same here for a short time even at 80%. However, I think more theoretical as my regen meter never gets over as far as the dots are even when I have full regen.

    Anyone had bodywork/repaint on a Pearl White model 3?

    I've had the same with other colors, so I think that's normal.

    Anyone had bodywork/repaint on a Pearl White model 3?

    Unfortunately I was side swiped on the freeway recently and have some body damage. I'm wondering how difficult it is for the body shop to match/blend the pearl white paint? The guy that hit me told his insurance company that he doesn't know anything about it. His insurance company was a bit...

    1 year ownership - "Air" noise perspectives

    Same here....I was thinking the tires being broken in has helped.

    No low tire pressure warning

    On some cars the warning comes on when pressure is 25% down, so at 33 it might be right on the borderline. Let a bit of air out and see if the warning comes on.

    Rear Glass Sunshade

    I must have reviewed on the other forum. I tried but not currently using. Not a huge fan but they may come in handy for summer months. Rear shade sags a bit and reduces rear visibility some. (Think identifying light bars from a distance). They do seem to quiet noise reflections a bit but not...

    Trunk weather seal gap

    This seems like a very easy DIY fix. Has anyone tried it?

    Heater not working well

    That's exactly what I did, I set Temp as high as it would go. High is the max on the temp scale. Prior to that I had it set on 80 with outside temps at 60 and barely any warm air.

    Heater not working well

    Couldn't get much heat out of my heater today...not very cold out, but even turning it up to high on both auto and manual modes would hardly generate much heat. Finally after a long wait, got a little bit, but nothing like I'd expect for Hi and certainly not enough for wintertime. Anyone had this?

    On 8.5 and sentry mode works but dashcam doesn’t.

    you manually activate the save feature when driving if you want to save a clip and when sentry mode is on, sentry mode saves clips of activity.

    On 8.5 and sentry mode works but dashcam doesn’t.

    On another thread someone said that it records constantly unless the car is asleep. Seems a bit wasteful to keep on when parked and sentry mode is not on.

    Had M3 home delivered, but not happy with paint and interior flaws

    The door seals take a little while to break in and then the doors close much easier. If you have just one door that doesn't close well, I'd suspect a poorly adjusted latch which is an easy fix.

    CA EV Rebate - Income limitations on last or current year?

    Last year. Just submitted mine and was not required to provide proof. I had the opposite concern, that they would look at 2017 income since 2018 was just filed and likely not in the IRS computers yet. If selected for proof, you sign a form authorizing the IRS to provide your returns to the State.

    Variable Electric Plan?

    Check on your utility's website for the rates. Some will have a tool to tell you if you'll save money and some even have a guarantee so that if TOU costs you more the first year they will refund the difference. You don't typically need a second meter for TOU plan, at least with my utility.
