One of my main reasons for not getting it is because the highways that I travel the most have stoplights on them. AFAIK, this system won't read traffic lights, and having to enable/disable it every 2 miles seems dumb to me. Perhaps once all the local highway construction is done (in 3 years)...

Yep, the trial apparently ended just as I took delivery, too. I haven't bought it, and I'm on the fence still. At this point I won't buy it until I can try it a bit, just because I'm really not sure just how often I'd even use it

As long as people are still driving their own cars, there will always be modifications. I think where we need to fear the aftermarket/mod thing failing is when full self-driving is the norm. Then there's just no point.

I'm going to wager that the phones themselves are the cause of a lot of people's problems. My Pixel XL (the first one) was spotty at best. I, far too often, had to take it out of my pocket to unlock the car. The walk-up unlock worked maybe 40-50% of the time. I upgraded to the Pixel 3 XL and...

THAT is the dangerous part. If you have it on, say, setting 2, then it quickly becomes too heavy for that, having to take your eyes off the road and try to really focus on hitting setting 3 or 4 is downright dangerous. Especially at night, and especially because the "off" button is also RIGHT...

Sadly I feel like this IS possible but won't happen. You can kinda feel the acceleration from 0-20mph is not quite as strong as once it gets above that speed, and I have a feeling it's purposely to limit tire noise and slippage. But for us RWD folks, I wouldn't doubt that the car COULD be a...

Well, yesterday morning I thought they were too sensitive (which they were). But last night I had to drive a lot with more rain of varying heaviness and holy cow are these bad (not wiping nearly often enough). It's borderline dangerous. I had to manually adjust the wipers quite a lot, and...

I believe it's just a matter of the pads not being particularly grippy. Seems like anybody who wants to track this car immediately swaps pads and there's a drastic improvement.

Mine does this as well. I just called service today and they're doing whatever on their end and will reach back out to me. I've had the car a month and I noticed it first two weeks ago or so, when my four year old asked why the air out of the vent was so hot (it was over 90 degrees outside...

I'm just here to agree about the dislike for the new mid-sized player. It takes up half the screen. Absolutely unnecessary.

Yeah, the fact that we can't adjust sensitivity is a little strange to me. Every other car out there with auto-wipers has a sensitivity adjustment

now the wipers are WAY too aggressive. I was sitting at a light, moderate rain coming down, and wipers were on fast mode (with a weird pause at the bottom causing it to bounce a little, I'm sure not doing any favors to the mechanisms). It's amazing how hard this has been for them. Before...

They all are, which is why you don't get a sunburn driving your car for an hour on a sunny day

Woohoo, boughten!

I've got a red one, and I noticed too late (maybe) that there are like 4-5 little bumps on the rear trunk lid which appear that someone dabbed too much touch-up paint on these spots. I was told I had 3 days to report any defects, and all I found was some body mis-alignment issues. But once I...

Rebooting it actually made it worse. It happened to me once or twice within like two days, so I rebooted, then it started happening like 90% of the time. I rebooted again and it's not changed, the only difference after the second was that the car started connecting to my WiFi again.

I'm having trouble searching on this, so I'm curious if this is common or not. When I got my 3, I was using TeslaFi, which was keeping the car awake 100% of the time. So I disabled that and just ended TeslaFi altogether (I really wasn't doing anything with that data). So now, though...

I plasti-dipped mine white. It looked awful. Pulled it off and have left the aeros on the shelf ever since

This happens to be a ton. The only way to get my phone to work as a proximity key again is to reboot it. So I think it's something with my phone and not the car. But hard to really prove either way. I just find too often that I have to pull the phone out of my pocket to swipe down and hit...

Only half the rear is tinted.

Yours the dark gray? I looked at the rear when they finished it, it looks good, so I got the same for mine

Ha, I also understand that well. Funny enough, just got to SunBusters, another Model 3 is in getting its tint finished up now. My big question mark is whether the 30% will be to dark for the already tinted back window, and that is what they're having done, so I get to see it in person before...

Yeah, that was my thought, as well, where maybe I do the doors/hood myself, leave the front bumper for a professional. We'll see, though, my free time to do such things is really limited

Meanwhile, I'd pay $1000-$1500 for just TACC and none of the other baloney.

So either way, it's a lot. Ha. Anyway yeah I was quoted $649, so whatever. I don't want to cancel last minute so I'll stick with it. I'm having second thoughts about the front bumper ppf though. The car is going to get dinged up all over no matter what, so why try to save the front bumper?

My new 3 will be getting its tint installed a SunBusters up by the delivery center tomorrow. :) . You guys will be very happy once you get yours. I've also learned the hard way, the traction control DOES let you have some RWD fun in the rain. That was one thing I was really hoping to get as an...

Thanks. I had trouble figuring that out, but it seems to work now.

i'm probably beating a dead horse here, but wow, just took delivery of my M3 the other day and this Slacker stuff is a disaster. Even on their site and in the Android app, it's a nightmare to use. It appears they have most of the music I'd want to listen to, but I prefer to just straight up...

Good luck, all! :) On a positive note regarding my car's panel misalignment issues. I called the number the delivery person gave me, spoke with someone in CA. he said he'd email me and to respond with the pictures, which I did. He just called back and said mobile service can fix these issues...

I dunno, adjusting auto pilot speed seems like something that can wait until you've adjusted your right mirror, which really isn't something you should be doing a ton, anyway.

Is it just me and my wife, or would it make absolute sense to have the left scroll wheel adjust the left mirror while the right wheel does the right mirror? I can't imagine this would be a difficult thing for Tesla to implement, and honestly for the user/driver, it's 100x more intuitive...

This is where I was yesterday dude. I just showed up anyway and lo and behold, I have my car now. If your appt is to be cancelled/rescheduled the day of, someone from the service center will contact you directly (at least that is what happened to me)

Re: the accelerator, it doesn't help that my two kids (ages 4 and 2) absolutely LOVE it when I floor it... Enablers, those two... And yeah, the bodywork issue SHOULD be easy as no paint correction is needed, just re-alignments, which should only involve loosening nuts/bolts, moving things...

My VIN never showed up on UR except to show delivery to Lathrop right after it was built. Also, I've got some panel misalignment issues. They have me a number to call by Friday to get those taken care of .Hopefully the fixed won't take long .It's the drivers headlight and bumper that don't line...

Just picked mine up, door card also says 8/18

Phew. I've got it. What a great car.

My portal still says today at 5pm for pickup there. I'm not letting myself get excited yet. I plan on leaving the house at 3, my kids and nanny will be with me while the nanny just turns around to bring them home. I hope I'm not going to end up stranded there

I'm in TX, so things are a bit different here. I've had my Monroney sticker for a month, but I still haven't actually seen my car.

Oh, thanks for that bit of info. I'm getting a 48xxx VIN and was figuring that was an "older" car. But my Monroney sticker says 08/2018 manufacture.

Sounded like a good idea, so I tried it. While the number is different, it sends me to the same answerless queue as the number for the service center. I tried calling my IDA, whom I haven't heard from in weeks, and of course it went right to voicemail. So I've now emailed her again pleading...

Is there a 480XX on that list? I still don't know if my car is actually there. My IDA hasn't contacted me, nor has she replied to my email inquiries. Pond Springs does not answer phone calls, either. I've called half a dozen times and it just goes to voicemail every single time. They texted...

If you really wanted to speed things up, you change to RWD, which is exactly what I did. Once I changed, I immediately was asked to enter all my loan info and the process began. So, unfortunately, the spot you're in, you have no place to really complain because there are literally thousands of...

So I get your point, I waffled back and forth over the course of a month between AWD and RWD. I live in Austin, there's no snow/ice here (if there is, it's like once every 4 years) and AWD is totally unnecessary. The cost was a factor, basically. While I could afford the extra money for AWD...

I'll be going to sunbusters later this week, provided I actually get my 3 tomorrow. FWIW, I contacted the lakeway location first, and they said they can't do the 3 there because they're a one-man shop, and it requires 2 people to do the large rear window. So they'll have you go to the 183...

Thanks!

Do they have Wifi in the waiting area? My third appt is for tomorrow at 5pm, but I live down south, so there's no way in hell I'm leaving my house at like 3:30-4 to get there near 5. So I plan on heading up pretty early and I was going to try and work from the waiting room, provided they have Wifi.

Just curious if this has happened to any of you who were in rail jail or anything. Obviously the car is fully paid and has been for a month. I was supposed to take delivery on Sat, and the service center texted me to say the car didn't arrive in time for my delivery (so do they have it and...

Austin. The text came from the delivery center and all it says is that my IDA will reach out to reschedule for early next week. I'm not holding my breath Edit: web portal says 5pm on Tuesday. No worse time of day for me to get there. So much traffic between me and the service center.

Mother F er. Just got a text, my car still isn't there. No delivery today. :| . That makes two failed deliveries and now a full month from when I paid for this car.

Cripes. Give me those in silver/aluminum please.
