I wouldn't expect a paint match problem on the fascia, especially for a new car. What you are hearing is a standard disclaimer. Tesla will swap in the new fascia in less than an hour, which is the great advantage of them doing that. BTW If you have the storage space, try to have them give you...

Back in the day before they started putting bollards outside of the doors... A co-worker of mine drove his Porsche into the passenger terminal to avoid a hail storm

That line is so thin you can't see it at a glance

Don't do that The only reason to be unplugging the Mobile Connector from the wall socket is that you are going on a road trip.

Since we got 16.1.1, the intermittent failure of the rear camera has stopped. 😃 (Mid-2018 Model 3) Now it works all the time, though that may still change. ☹️

1) There are now 4 stalls available in Lubbock, V3 Supercharger. They need more, but 4 is a start. 3) The maximum amps you can get through the Mobile Connector is 32A. 4) Electrical standards limit actual amps to 80% of rated capacity, so 24A on a 14-30 or (obsolete)10-30 outlet. 5) No...

Just got 12.3.16

Will it fix the intermittent problem of the backup camera on Model 3 on 2022.12 ?

That's plastic under there, not no risk of rust. Cheap to fix

Is it possible to run electric sockets to many parking location, say 5-20 for 120v/20A. Rather than two high wattage stations that people have to share...

I think that it's just not a priority for them. IMHO Tesla are hoping that some incremental improvements will make the problem diminish to an acceptable level

Still not sure I understand why you simply can't use TACC. If traffic is going slower than your set speed, that's the speed you go. If going faster, you don't go faster than the set speed. Really speed limiters are designed to ignore your attempts to manually accelerate faster than the set...

Those of us with 89K miles on a 2018 Model 3, say hi. 😀 Though I still have 30K miles left on the battery warranty.

EPA mileage range is how you and I can measure battery degradation. If and when you get down to 70% of original EPA range, you have the basis to go eye to eye with the Service Center staff with a non-arbitary measurement of battery capacity.

Battery warranty is longer than 4 years.

Charge to 90% and do some simple multiplication (by 1.1111) to get your EPA miles at 100% Losing 20% is high. How many miles do you have? Note: It's all to do with EPA miles. Your actual mileage experience is irrelevant.

See picture for charging experience at the new V3 Supercharger at the Buc-ees, Leeds, AL 👍😀👍😀

I believe the answer to your question was implied in his answer. Last time I charged there, they were working on the gate, and that was over a month ago, as now we've switched to using Leeds when charging in the Birmingham area.

They asked that because the problem was probably changing lanes without using your indicators. 😀😀😀

If heading East, there's the new V3 Supercharger in Leeds, AL at a Buc-ees.

Weird experience while using this location yesterday. Initially plugged into an unmarked pedestal, but it wouldn't start charging Moved to a pedestal with the normal number/letter marking and charged at 250.

As said many times before, if your experience is bad, document a specific example, preferably supported by dashcam video, and sent in a report to the NTSB. That is the ONLY way this situation will get fixed.

BTW If you reported it to Tesla, but didn't report it to the NTSB, you really didn't report it.

Some of the early Superchargers had J1772 plugs so Roadsters could charge there.

We have a 2018 Model 3, and at some time in the near future we will replace it with a Model Y. Waiting on several things, one of which is to see th effect of 4680 batteries and Austin factory on the Model Y and it's configurations

IMHO: No evidence that this is viewed as a mission critical issue by Tesla.

If you are simply expecting a magical fix, don't. You need to report to your governmental authority, NTSB in the USA, each time it occurs.

The problem is that the whole unit has to be replaced if any part of it fails. $1175

Is your complaint that you aren't getting tire pressure readings, even after driving for over a mile? There is (I think) an option to recalibrate TPMS. If that doesn't work, you may have to schedule a service appointment.

More than the some risk to you, selling the car with 10+K miles left on the battery warranty is good sense and greatly reduces the risk for the buyer that they are "buying trouble". There's also an emotional buyer's issue about buying a vehicle with less than 100K miles.

You must be spending a fortune on tires, given that the tires on the P variants are both expensive and quicker to wear out. 😱

We use 14-30 outlet and leave the Mobile Connector plugged into it, except when we go on a road trip. I could see using a switch or breaker to turn off the power when you have unplugged the Mobile Connector, but it'll get tedious to do it every time you want to charge the car.

Just leave it all connected to the wall until you go on a road trip.

So, have you reported this to the NTSB?

Have you reported to the NTSB ?

If you sell the property, the potential new owner might well force you to bring the electrics up to code. Might be better to update now, rather than have an ungrounded outlet.😃 An electrician is recommended.

See my early comment about the two workarounds which no longer work, as of 4.5

You can put a "USB source" icon on the screen.👍 The problem that arrived in 4.5, was the software no longer remembers what your prior audio source was. BUG😩 Also doesn't remember which song you were playing, though prior to 4.5 you often had to apply a workaround to force it to remember.

As long as Tesla can sell out production, they don't suffer from people delaying delivery.

I'm well aware of the prior problem, and also the workarounds for the prior problem. They were: 1) Switch on climate before going to the car 2) If you forget to do #1 and the music doesn't start playing, get out of the car, see the screen go black, then get back in. After 4.5, both of these...

You'll have AP2.5, not AP2. Model 3 shipped after Tesla switched over to AP2.5 One advantage of the FSD license is Tesla will upgrade your car to AP3. Just watch out for EAP, as occasionally Tesla makes it available. PS: You'll love it. 👍

$3500 ...for 25K miles. All those awful TV ads don't pay for themselves.

That is NOT TRUE. There is a new, more serious bug. If you don't understand what changed, then it is very counterproductive to suggest nothing changed.

Additional problem with that rant filling up this thread is that it obscures a very real bug introduced with 2022.4.5, making it less likely Tesla will fix this bug. Basically, if you want a company to fix a bug, you need to define it carefully and be very specific.

Just checked and 4.5.3 doesn't remember the USB source and therefore doesn't remember which song was last playing. This bug was introduced with 2022.4.5.

Nah We have a USB stick recording dashcam video, a USB stick with music and a wireless pad for charging two phones. All works.

Just had my upper front suspension arms replaced for $669. The bushings gave out at 86K miles. First major repair out of warranty. Model 3 bought July 2018

My wife has a library of her favorite 1,200+ songs on a USB stick. 😃

Yes, definite regression from Tesla on this release in the music subsystem. There were a couple of simple workarounds for the previous problem, including putting on the climate control before heading to the car. Nothing works anymore. We now have a hard failure. Seriously, doesn't anyone in...
