As I'm just mentally tallying things up...may I ask if you rest your head against the headrest for 30+ minutes at a time like for a longer commute? My running theory is a constant warmth is causing the defect, not chemicals. A lot of drivers actually do not touch the headrest with their heads -...

Your response is not an answer to the question. Our cars turn OFF wifi when the car is put into drive, thus requiring manual activation of wifi again, so we can use our hotspots while driving. To the OP - I use T-Mobile One (they too change their offerings like Tesla...randomly and frequently)...

This is interesting. Certainly haven't experienced this on my Model 3. As a hobbyist detailer, I inspect/clean wheel arches, and there's not been any build up like that.

good luck to you. hope you chime back in with an update. personally skeptical of such a calibration helping but hoping to be proven wrong.

If you have an issue reading the manual in the car, you can use a phone or computer to view the PDF manual: https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/model_3_owners_manual_north_america_en.pdf As far as my experience is, Tesla does update this manual to reflect changes in software for the car...

This started happening more with recent updates. It was mostly gone for quite a few versions of the software. I haven't driven enough recently after getting 12.11 to see if it's gone. I know 12.16 is rolling out now...here's to hoping the arguably dangerous behavior, has been resolved.

I haven't had luck with Tesla addressing mine but perhaps it's not bad enough yet. +1 to warranty running out.

I don't play with the viewer too much so it may not be a new change, but I noticed since since 12.5 and now I'm on 12.6, the viewer bundles videos together by location...so there's not a crap ton of clips to click through...I can just use the slider to scrub through 10+ minutes of footage...

Not sure what you may have settled with... Yes to Eibach springs for a nicer look and drive. Stock wheels are 20x8.5 et.35; if you don't want to look less aggressive, you'll aim for a wheel with that size and offset, or use a 5mm spacer to enhance the look, or find wheels with an et. between...

I've done a few backroads and it really depends on the speed and elevation changes. I haven't actually experienced too much loss in general compared to driving on track because it's the really long sections where you go flat out that blows through the battery the quickest. My Wh/mi for most...

If you can reliably replicate this and have checked your tires, then it's worth a service request in case there's any mounts or motor components going bad. I only feel slip in the rear if coming to stop over painted "STOP" signage on a downhill - I live in SF.

Is this basically what you're looking for? Obviously covers more than just the cutout... https://www.amazon.com/BASENOR-Deadening-Soundproof-Protective-Insulation/dp/B081PXTLNZ Pretty neat discoveries though. My July 2019 has the solid rear-deck but the interior trim piece that's in the cabin...

Looks great - been a fan of the height from Eibach springs and a fan of the wheel design too. Since you stuck with the same P3D wheel and tire sizes and brand, have you noticed any differences in efficiency - poisitive/negative? Totally understand if you don't keep track, it's just a curiosity...

No I don't believe they are the supplier - but I don't have the official intel. If they are, then T-Sportline is making a decent profit.

Sadly it's expensive since those trim pieces, unlike the rest of the chrome pieces, are actually part of the small quarter glass as one entire assembly. Also means if you tinted that little piece you'll need to re-tint it. I've used some pretty darn aggressive chemicals on my car such as...

Time to work in your Tesla. I think you could work in the car some 18 hours with climate on and entertainment features before needing to charge it up...but yeah not ideal.

July 2019 P3D w/T5 1TB SSD for 4 months... Up until the 2020.8 through 2020.12 updates, I was experiencing an issue where every other time I'd get into my car on short errands - meaning the car remained awake with Sentry active - the system would reboot almost instantly when I opened my door...

If it's a single cam, and you've done installs before, you'll get it done in 30 minutes or less.

Double edged sword but if you're never in the "wrong", then the additional data will help you.

It's a good idea. TeslaCam is mostly reliable, however, in a more severe incident, such as one that involves airbag deployment, we've seen time and time again that the final file is corrupt. An external cam that is not tied to core car systems won't suffer from that issue, specifically.

Haha that escalated quickly. Looks great. I think that's really quite the perfect stance.

Do you have access to a hose or a gallon container of water? Mine was easy to replicate by using a garden hose or pouring water down the passenger window and opening the door after a minute. If it drains properly then there shouldn't be any water retention. If the seals are a bit wonky...

Regarding the splash of water from your rear passenger door. Can you look at the underside of the door and check the seal and compare with your other rear passenger door? I had the same issue after rain or a home wash. It turned out the seal was not properly installed - it's adhesive in that...

Nice. There really haven't been any notable reports of thefts in the frunk. This method is way more conspicuous anyways, but glad Tesla patched the vulnerability.

Having driven a few Model S, I like that car's option to toggle between estimated range and rated range. Still not sure why Tesla has not enabled that for Model 3. The Estimated range was much more accurate.

dang those do look pretty good. Car needs at least a 1" drop, but nice to see these wheels exist for reals!

Unlike most sedans, Tesla implements the seat-back release mechanism on the inside of the vehicle and right next to the small window. Other sedans have it either near the middle of the rear seats or only in the trunk. As you may have read about SUV/Hatchbacks (like the VW Golf), they have the...

My car is parked outside somewhat near the ocean and often in salty/sticky fog. I drive an average of 400 miles/week (before CV19). I tend to wash the car twice a month - weather permitting - and after a day it pretty much goes back to a sticky icky mess, but I still do it. I can wash and dry...

My leased 2016 Audi A3 2.0T Quattro had these from the factory. They're actually not a bad tire - in the context of an All-Season tire. I found road noise to be fairly stable as they wore, they handled on the audi pretty well on some of my favorite backroads, and offered confident feel during...

What I have experienced is seasonality, and I live in San Francisco where we don't have really more than 2 seasons. My car has bounced between 295 and 312mi at 100%. It really depends on ambient temps and the [assumed] changing algorithms used by Tesla. It's taken many months for me to adopt the...

I just fitted these to my wheels. RAYS 19 Hex Lug Nut and Lock Set - Black - 14x1.50

Since you're a highway driver like I am, having aerodynamic wheels and not going wider than factory tires are going to make the biggest difference for you. The Performance inverter/motor are not the same as your AWD LR either. The test you could perform is putting on your 20" OE wheels/tires...

Yep its a firm one and like some folks (myself included), you may begin to have neck/upper back pains. The vegan leather may also separate from the padding on the headrest if used frequently. It's not a bad idea to invest in a sort of neck cushion.

This sounds very tesla-like...but unlike other situations where there's poor follow-up or automation, this one works to our advantage haha.

+1 to the others who responded saying they do not need to unbolt the rear to adjust. Just did this yesterday to raise the height of the car. Gotta have some muscle but its definitely adjustable and a decent workout! Having the perch up top doesn't give you unlimited space but way more than if it...

The Titan7s are light by a lot compared to Tesla's 20" (non-track pack), and are one of the forged wheels which more reasonably priced. Unfortunately some (not all) of the weight was regained in the tire I picked (but also because of the staggered fitment). Efficiency at highway speeds is also...

My IG is here, though I don' t have too many lowered photos posted yet. Model 3 Performance (@freddyp3d) • Instagram photos and videos My first impressions of the coils are here: Mountainpass Performance Comfort Coilovers on a 2019 P3D - First Impressions : TeslaModel3 I actually raised the car...

Honestly...weight with these EVs don't matter much - at least not from my understanding of impacts on acceleration or efficiency. The design of the wheel and size/compound/design of the tire has a much greater impact.

Suspension I got directly from MPP and had a local mechanic install it for me. The Titan7's I ordered from European Autosource - lots of different vendors available or direct from Titan7 - it's really rare to find discounts with them.

Just an update as I got the car lowered on MPP Comfort Coilovers...glad to have closed the gap. Wheels: 20x8.5 ET35 and 20x10 ET40 TItan7 T-S5 in Technica Bronze finish.

Wonder if Tesla is on a dual release track at least temporarily since theres the 2020.8.2 and 2020.12.1 releasing now.

Def. had a second coming of phantom braking since being on 2020.12

If you had to pick between the two, I'd say go Mild, unless you have a pretty flat and smooth route regularly and don't carry passengers/cargo. Your car will be even lower when it's loaded up. For better or worse, your camber won't be significantly impacted - at least not in the front - so I...

Just shared my first-impressions of the MPP Comfort Coilovers installed on my P3D on Reddit. Mountainpass Performance Comfort Coilovers on a 2019 P3D - First Impressions : TeslaModel3

Thanks! Just got lowered too!

Your F150 may use the wheel speed sensor method of TPMS. It's arguably a cheaper and less prone to false-negatives, because it' relies on a tried and true system with no additional need for sensors powered by batteries and wireless communications...but the down-side is you don't get the exact...

I thought it was shown how the tesla ones are bad too cause it allows for a bunch of gunk to get stuck behind it and between the paint.

Sony A9 with 24-70 G Master Lens. My car is entirely rapped in Satin PPF so the look is different and fair point that sclew makes about rubbing paint. I can see how this could rub the paint but since I'm wrapped I don't think abou it. None that I have experienced, actually. I was expecting a...

I got these...no drilling. Model 3 Mud Flaps Gen. 2 Screw-less (Set of 4- $39 with 20% Off) 10 minutes to install all of them...could have been quicker if I didn't do it in the dark. Made a big difference in keeping the side and rear of the car cleaner.

TeslaBros delete kit using the Tesla Raj color. It's like a satin gunmetal.
