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

    I think you need to put in a service call. That sounds like a broken switch.

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

    I've never had to hold it down. All you do is tap the button and you can see the card come up with the green pulsating field around the microphone. Until this release, I had no problems with it hearing me. It acts very much like a software bug if the first command finishes/errors out.

    Which updates would you pay for?

    Pretty sure I have this already. Was in I-95 going 75 in light traffic and suddenly the car went into full re-gen and I glanced down to see the max speed limit was 35. About 5 seconds later it changed to 55. So I think I am good :-)

    Supercharger - Ft. Lauderdale, FL - Riverside Park

    Only 8 for the only SCs on i95 between Miami and West Palm Beach (WPB) seems like under serving current demand, not to mention future demand. And you can bet a lot of those will be signed as general parking. Also, the WASA SC station at 7289 Garden Road WPBB had signed most the SC (6 of the 8 I...

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

    Wow! Text messages are supported now. It's like I am living 2013 all over again. Now... if only the wipers could be relied on. Maybe next release. :-)

    Impressions after a week with my Model 3

    Those tires have a foam strip on the inside of the tire to reduce road noise. I have the 18" MXM4s. But some road surfaces still create a lot of noise. Buy tires without the foam and the road noise will be much worse.

    Problem with UMC lengthened by Quickchargepower

    Sounds to me like they did a bad job 1st time around and you had to pay for their mistake. I was literally about to order an extension from them this weekend, but I think I will look around and see if they have a quality issue since I too live on the east coast.

    What's the most surprising thing you've found once you got your Tesla?

    While all the new cars I have purchased had floor mats, the cost of them was always on the sticker. So they never really came with them, rather it was another way for the dealer to charge you $250.

    What's the most surprising thing you've found once you got your Tesla?

    I was very disappointed to find out the hard way the auto wipers work so poorly. Being in south florida in the summer it tends to rain... alot. The wipers either wait too long or don't even come on so I am driving blind and I have to manually turn them on... Then you have to look at the...

    4 1/2 month old 3, paint bubbled appeared in right rear

    Was cleaning up the car after a 2-3 weeks of not washing it when I noticed a ragged looking area the size of a 50 cent coin. Its was by the right rear window on the upper flair part. Took it into the Tesla store/service center. When I talked to the service rep later on he said it was the...

    Charger Locking Issue - Would Prefer To Disable

    I think it prevents people from driving off while still connected to the charger. Can you imagine the damage that would take place!

    MASTER THREAD: Auto Wiper issues

    I am on the same version and they work as poorly as before. In fairly heavy rain they won't come on even though I am driving blind.

    All Model 3s built since 9/1/2019 have a pedestrian warning speaker installed

    I only hear the spacey sound my 2013 Prius makes when I am next to the building of a drive-thru and my window is down. I am sure the complaining sound of some will be louder than the injury saving noise. :D:D:D

    Help me decide if I buy FSD this weekend, or not! ONCE AND FOR ALL.

    Naw. Doesn't work reliably. Still wants to cut off a car coming at high speed in the lane it wants to be in. Heck, the damn wipers don't even work automatically. Hmmm...Maybe the wipers working properly should be the benchmark. Or wait for HW v5 and all the dust to settle on all...

    120 "wall outlet" IN the car? [no]

    Actually it's.called V2H, Vehicle To Home. The Prius can be used for this. Takes minimal modifications to do it. The nature of Hybrids makes them ideal for this purpose.

    Any way to listen to Dodger games?

    I've manually tuned stations that were not being displayed. On road trips the radio really sucks for updating the stations list. Tesla really needs to up their game on this.

    Speed limit is wrong!

    He forgot to mention that the bug report is very buggy. Its pretty much useless for more than 1/2 dozen words.

    NOA issues

    As soon as you got to those markings that appeared all the sudden at the end you were doomed. My hardware v2.5 is easily overwhelmed if the unexpected happens. Now if those marks had been the entire length of the merge point, it's 98% certain it would have merged correctly.

    CHAdeMO Charging the Model 3

    I bought the $450 Chademo just before a 2-week 5,800 mile road trip in my SR+ 3. The one time I needed it (Walmart parking lot) it wouldn't work for me. I even called the 800 # for Electrify America and we tried but it couldn't get it to work. Kept giving a processing error. I had to go to...

    AP stopping for stopped cars significantly improved

    Since 20.4.2 it no longer accelerates toward a wall of stopped or slow cars. I am much more comfortable with EAP now. This is what I expected from my purchase in late March. Now, make the auto wipers work and I am a happy camper.

    Tesla model 3 issues

    Wow... that is one for the books. At least it was winter so you didn't have to beat off any alligators. :D Glad it worked out of you. I know they were doing a home delivery for cars bought sight unseen and you had 7 days to make up your mind.

    Dead MX, emergency manual frunk release not functional

    Isn't there a 12v red wire inside where the tow hook goes? You put 12v to it to let you open the frunk. Guessing that is in the owner's manual. This is from the M3 manual (the pictures are missing)... Opening with No Power In the unlikely event that Model 3 has no 12V power, you will be...

    Software Ver. 2019.20.2.1

    Just got 2019.20.2.1. Just nighttime display brightness enhanced and dog mode enhancements. :( I just want the wipers to work better in auto mode so I don't have to look down to manually turn my wipers between speeds all the time.o_O Its rain every day season in South Florida!

    Planning to only use 110 outlet

    High voltage drop, or baring that, incorrect information...but even a broken clock is correct twice a day, so... you guys know I was kidding … right? lol Mostly anyways... I see 104-117 most of the time. UPS displays/recording and TeslaFi data.

    Planning to only use 110 outlet

    In Fort Lauderdale, FL this is what TesliFi pulls from my M3's data when I charge with "120v" on a 20amp circuit.... Avg Voltage - 106.2V Max Voltage - 112V Avg Amps - 15.79A Max Amps - 16A I guess we must still be at 110v. ;-)

    Planning to only use 110 outlet

    if your wiring is rated for it, maybe you could look into bumping your 110v/15 amp (5-15) to 110v/20 amp (5-20) and buy the 5-20 adapter for your mobile charger for $35. http://www.stjosephmusicfoundation.org/documents/Nema.pdf This would charge at 16 amps (2kw) instead of 12 amps (1kw). At...

    I came back to the car to find 139 Security Alerts. :eek: Turns out it was the branches blowing around on the tree I was parked in front of on a windy day :(

    Interesting talk with Tesla Support on software 2019.16.2

    I guess I was one of the lucky M3. I have been running 12.16.2 for 5 or 6 days now. Did a 500 mile trip over the weekend. So far issue free. I see you have the software update set to Advance. Can that be changed to Standard?

    Battery Capacity Down to 86.8% After 18,000 Miles

    Doing business while charging is a great idea. I work during the week so charging after work means only places to eat open. Who knew that getting a Tesla could be fatting.

    Just returned from a 3 week roadtrip in all types of conditions

    Fantastic trip! I hope to make a nice long trip (2500 mile) in my 3 SR+ (bought it 3 weeks ago) this summer. As for the freezing screen/audio... Its a common problem. I've had it happen while on an on-ramp. :eek: However, I was just updated from 2019.8.5.1 to 2019.12.1.2 tonight so I hope...
