    AC Always Auto Fogging

    I have exactly the same issue as described. I have a service appt scheduled, and they asked for timestamps (which I gave). They said if they can't replicate it they can't do anything - which is crazy. I saw someone said Tesla replaced the cabin filters and its been better - so may try that as...

    Phantom braking so bad I want to return my car

    Also happens with FSD. Yep.

    How much does gas have to be to match Model 3?

    Just remember that gas prices are hugely variable and open to manipulation. It has little to do with Covid-19 and everything to do with Saudi trying to kill the US oil industry. There is a drop in demand, but they are increasing output to force the oil price even lower. US operators...

    Can you not see that via the web interface or do you need the cloudkey thing for that?

    Bubbles / specs on all the windows.

    make sure you 1) raise it in the app 2) contact all the Tesla service people at the delivery and sales center and tell them you're invoking your 7 day return. Its up to them to take the next steps. If you don't do it in the 7 day window, you never can. Even if you go back and they try to fix it...

    Car Parked Outside temp 68f / Inside 98f. Normal?

    You could leave the windows vented which would help a lot. Can be done from the app

    USB for dashcam exFAT vs FAT

    Same. can't get it to work using exfat and the same folder structure as fat32. No documentation in the Tesla manual online, is the car one updated more frequently?

    Model 3 as a high mileage commuter car?

    Preach. I have a once a week drive of 500 mile round trip (out one day, back the next). It has some long mountain pass roads (4 lanes on each side) as well as driving through LA traffic. It makes a significant difference to the drive.

    California License Plate/registration time

    I got my car December 7th, and the plates arrived just under a month. Consider I had holidays in between, so i would say 3 weeks ish.

    Voice command not working after latest update

    I fixed mine. Had the same issues, green icon would appear but and it would listen but nothing appeared on the screen.. Just did a soft reboot - press and hold both wheels for 10 seconds or so on the steering wheel. It'll take 5 or so minutes to fully reboot - doesn't wipe anything. Everything...

    How did I ever do a road trip before the Model 3?

    I used to be like you. But more and more I find my habits changing. Sure, it means I'll be taken down to 60 for a bit, but I know auto lane change will pick me up soon enough when it's safe. Then I'll be back to where I started. A driver will *usually* be able to find a spot to take and overtake...

    The biggest surprise I have after two weeks of Model 3

    Same! I used to drive 75, closer to 80 (almost by accident). Now I put 68 or 70 on AP. I just care less about pushing through and getting more aggressive with people cutting me up. Just makes me a more chilled driver, yet more attentive in other ways.

    Autopilot “ upcoming lane change'” notification for freeway exit WAY too early?

    My friend who has 2.5 HW actually said that when I asked him.

    Autopilot “ upcoming lane change'” notification for freeway exit WAY too early?

    Thanks. To add some additional context, the car was trying to push me into a lane doing about 45 with three large trucks. Every other lane was doing 65 to 70. I'll try that same area again and see if it was peculiar to the other road conditions that day.

    Autopilot “ upcoming lane change'” notification for freeway exit WAY too early?

    2019.40.50.7 My autopilot starts to bring me off the freeway way too early. Yesterday it started to do the 'upcoming lane change' 3 miles before the exit. The other day, 2.5 miles before the exit (different freeway). I constantly have to cancel the notification at least 2 times before it gets...

    MASTER THREAD: 2019.40.50.x - Driving Visualization improvements, new voice commands, Camping Mode

    Agreed. My Android Auto was such a frustrating experience. On my M3 I had to do a soft reboot as voice commands were working at all, but after that it did 4 commands including text message transcribing completely accurately.

    Long Road Trips. My Experience and Why Tesla's are Currently Unfit.

    I will continue to carry AAA even with roadside assistance from Tesla and also included on my Audi. I'm curious what AAA would do in the situation? I assume tow to local tire place and wait for a delivery of a new tire, perhaps a rental for rest of trip depending on your coverage or take you...

    I need some convincing re: M3 Performance

    Fair comment on full performance. Maybe consider a stealth which has regular wheels and rims (rims could be upgraded later) and therefore better handling on bumpy roads.

    I need some convincing re: M3 Performance

    This, and then you'll be hooked. No-one takes a test drive and thinks 'meh, I'll get the Mazda'. OK you get my point. But do drive a performance, or a stealth (bit cheaper), floor it when safe, and see how it feels for you. I used to have a Cayman S (wonderful car). It handles remarkably...

    Can a used Model 3 be more expensive than brand new?

    Afaik it's an interest rate thing. CarMax are the same. They give you a fairly decent price and many cars will be higher than private sale but with no negotiation they make money on the financing. And lots of people who shop there can only afford a car on credit.

    Easier to avoid speeding tickets in Tesla?

    I've actually been slower on the freeway with FSD. Maybe it's that little less stressful and I don't feel the need to 'make up' for time when I got cut up 100 times in LA and OC traffic.

    Christmas Update Speculation

    Not quite as easy. It pays so loud and doesn't mute when you hit the voice button. So the mic doesn't hear me very well!

    Bought a P3D- for many reasons - environmental consideration wasn't one of them

    Had the conversation with my 72 year old dad the other day, just before e.my P3D- got delivered. He was going on about how to environment impact wasn't as good as people said etc. Then I reminded him environmental didn't even hit my top 3 reasons for buying it.

    Model 3 with kids

    It won't be any different from the compromises of similar sized sedans. It's definitely not as easy access for kids and adults getting them in and out as, say, a taller SUV or minivan.

    Problem: My P3D is getting more valuable as time goes on!

    Tesla Insurance states 'Autonomous Vehicle Protection Package' - is that insuring FSD?

    The M3 really drives like what they say

    I mean my old A4 would say 410 miles or something when I filled it up. The ABSOLUTE best I could get out of a tank was about 330 driving at constant freeway with cruise control on. I never got the stated range.

    Nah he did, based on the way he nearly skidded back into the other lane! I smiled and just continued.

    I don't know how people use ludicrous in the P100D - I floored my stealth today and my seatbelt went into that 'lock' position where you can't loosen it!

    Ho Ho Ho, no reindeers?

    Yeah. I just wish there was an EASY way to silence it. Press voice button, but the music keeps playing so it doesn't hear you correctly. So i manually have to go into the easter eggs, find it, and turn it off. Cowbell was the same issue when turned on accidentally. Don't get me wrong, i love...

    3 country, 7,800 mile road trip in 15 days - SAFELY. Range anxiety, oh no! (yawn)

    Loved the post. These are the types of post I need my wife to see, so she'll come on some road trips when we get the new 3.
