    Screeching sound when braking in reverse

    Yes. Its the bedding of the brake pad to the rotors. The sound only happens when you go backwards? How many miles? Which wheel? I had the SC "fix" it but its back.

    Model 3 Performance/AWD Clunking sound

    For some reason the P3 makes this noise more apparent. It does on mine. I have other cars, they don't do this. Yes its how the gears are cut - helical vs straight cut. "[Straight cut gears] They naturally create a hell of a lot of noise" :eek:

    How can I escalate my issue to Tesla support?

    Do this or try another SC if you can. With that said,I cant really understand the need to go to another SC since thet are not individual franchises. Service should be the same but they are not.

    Service: What can be done?

    Fremont. But then I think its my service advisor: communication. What to do? Maybe a round of layoffs or two until they get people who need a job and will do it right - not those who just want a stepping stone to get somewhere else.

    Model 3 clicking sound near the rear wheel area

    Dry splines is a problem. Someone mentioned that by greasing them, it is quiet. That is the first thing to be done by service. Leaving it dry will cause premature wear and vibration. I have the same tapping noise described by @AlanSubie4Life . The play demonstrated in the video looks typical on...

    Group buy for Model3 front fascia?

    Not sure if this is before or after front facia.

    Problems with my Tesla Cam only after the new V10 update!

    Perhaps the USB sticks used with this happening are of junk quality, not what its labelled to be.

    Why white is now the standard finish

    So thats what the name is "cheap white". I was parked next to another white Model 3 and couldn't believe my eyes. The "white" color looked blue-ish.

    Idea regarding Auto Pilot and lane-splitting motorcycles: Auto Move Over

    Thanks on behalf of motorcyclists, this is very thoughtful to allow some space regardless of AP.

    Subwoofer? Is that what the hole is for?

    What is the purpose of the insulation for the frunk other than the finished look? Does it quiet the cabin more?

    In V10 how to send videos to play in the Tesla Theatre?

    Ah perhaps a way to view dashcam videos in the car.

    V10 Impressions from those who have installed the update

    Love it, what a great update. Looking at the video of SS at Costco navigate nicely, I would like to have the car go park itself. I would think the reverse is possible.. Multi-level garage - who will be the first? What happens at a pay garage - will it pay or just sit there..hmm.

    New Aero Wheel Kit

    Looks bulky. I'd say no, caps look fine. Besides a lot of Honda Civics like exposed lug nuts.

    Final Decision: Is Going from AWD to P Worth $9,946-$12,946?

    Don't do it. Theres so much of us on the road now that they look like taxis. With less spent you'll feel better.

    Things my wife said about Navigate on Autopilot tonight

    i really dont believe this is beyond them to make it smooth. I recall early on when AP was just out TACC was very smooth in starting and stopping. At the same time for some unknown reason AP was tolerable but became more and more jerky with each release.

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    @astrowunder This is a fantastic feature. I'm nearly at a point where the endless sentry videos seem useless without being able to detect actual motion. I nearly nevermind reviewing them now. Thanks for your efforts!

    Tesla "Sportster" on Model 3 Platform

    I wish the Model 3 had just a tad longer nose. It would look a bit better like that of Aston Martin or the S2000.

    Undercarriage hit roadside

    If you are ever headed to Las Vegas and want to SC in downtown on Bridger, make sure you go up the ramp and not down the ramp. Ask me how I know and what happened.. Tesla Supercharger sign is between the driveways..

    Trunk separator?

    Milk crate was mentioned but I use a folding crate and it works well to keep stuff rolling around then folds flat out of the way for larger items, better than a net.

    Latest Price Drop Discussion

    So? Im in the same boat as you OP. Like Alan I dropped close to $80k for a car that now cost $65k. Being a pioneer means paving the way for others, got the car first. I feel gripe on the quality difference instead. Supposedly manufacturers pay more attention to detail on early models but it...

    What would you like to see added in software updates?

    cancel out some road noise. Long trips with road noise adds fatigue. I rather have that than to have a blaring sound system.

    Model 3 Rear Passenger Seats Rattling

    Check to see if the rattling is actually coming from the rectangular opening in the center of the rear deck. Someone here has found that the noise is coming from there and was able to eliminate it by sticking a piece of paper in the corner from the trunk side. I had some noise form the junk...

    Model 3 Rear Passenger Seats Rattling

    Theres quite a bit of space between the seat and the rear deck. It doesnt rest on the deck but on the hinge. I also found some left over manufacturing items between the seat and back.

    What’s the one thing you like the least about your Model 3?

    1. Mad duck or Searay from finding Nemo front end and not quite Aston Martin. That look alone took me a long time to convince me to buy. I reserved in 2016. 2. Lack of software QA from updates. I think getting the AP right is the most important feature in this car. 3. Creaking noises from the...

    Fallout Shelter and Netflix coming to our cars?

    Yeah I agree that would have been a better thing to do. Even if it doesn't have enough cameras, give the camera view for the sides instead of something virtual and dancing. So cool to hear our 2018 Camry could get updated for Carplay and birds eye view . That became instantly useful.

    SentryView app was just released!

    So I think others have said no it doesnt. This one specifically works with the wifi version. But alas, the wifi version doesnt have much bandwidth and I just tried to look at videos using it’s own app and it failed to stream all thumbnails with 1 week’s worth of videos. I dont know about this...

    SentryView app was just released!

    The SanDisk USB Wifi is an AP itself. It has a battery built-in to provide wifi connections (~2 hrs). You can download SanDisk's app to view the files including TeslaCam videos but its only and single screen. You switch your wifi network to it once you press the button on the side to turn it...

    How many people had perfect Model 3's delivered?

    In the forum there seems to be more complaints of trouble with cars not with performance trim - maybe those spent more QA time? Dec 2018 car made well.

    View TeslaCam Videos in Browser

    I like the idea to use an ipad to view the video through the browser - sort of a shortcut to view the videos. Probably use one of those usb to ipad sticks as storage. Viewing all 3 at the same time is very useful. Would be nice to jog the video with the mouse wheel.

    This is what getting a misaligned steering wheel fixed has been like.

    I would say they are shooting themselves with initial quality out the door. What is scary is the software updates seem to have the same quality standards.

    This is what getting a misaligned steering wheel fixed has been like.

    The message is communication and lack thereof. My email reply also cc'ed a manager. No replies. Even if they were overwhelmed, I should get something maybe a week later? Maybe have less appointment slots also to help.

    Some Tesla hate on the highway...

    I'm sure as drivers, we've all encountered the slow Prius drivers in the fast lane. I'm using that stereotyping to describe what could be hate on Model 3 drivers as a new group. Now with HOV lanes, I really have to ask why use that lane if it isn't for the benefit of driving faster than other...
