    Coolant level low warning turned on the disappeared

    Huh! I had cool air instead of warm for a few weeks. Made a service appt and they found low coolant - but I never got a warning! They were surprised about that too, but sent me off without further ado, not sure why no warning.

    2022 Holiday update - interior camera

    Final update on getting HW3 in order to use Dog Mode and view the internal camera image via the app: it's great! Side benefit: the image from the external cameras is MUCH better! Same cameras obviously, so maybe due to the enhanced processing power of HW3. Either way, a $1k well-spent (says...

    2022 Holiday update - interior camera

    Update on my quest to upgrade from HW2.5 to HW3 so I can have the internal camera on with Dog Mode. Brought my M3 into the Service Center on Thursday 3/2 and they thought, oh, a few hours but could be all day. OK. Turned into the next day, and then they found there were firmware issues with my...

    2022 Holiday update - interior camera

    I've wanted the Dog Mode Internal Camera feature desperately, and have HW2.5. I had read this and other forums with mixed info whether this needs HW3 or not. I contacted Tesla Support and after a month and a half of communicating, sending App screenshots, doing resets and what have you, they...

    Benefits of HW3 v. HW2.5 besides FSD?

    Dog Mode Internal Camera! I've wanted this feature desperately, but when it came out, it didn't work on my HW2.5. I had read forums with mixed info whether this needs HW3 or not. I contacted Tesla Support and after a month and a half of communicating, sending App screenshots, doing resets and...

    2022 Holiday update - interior camera

    Same issue here, just got the Holiday Update and have been pining forever for Dog Mode internal camera access in my 2019 M3, HW2.5. The release notes do not specify needing HW3 but the NotATeslaApp site in showing the release note has a HW3 symbol under this Dog Mode update. That would really...

    Enabling sentry when dog mode is active?

    I too would SO like having the internal camera on in Dog Mode! Ideally, with sound too, so I can see and hear what doggo is doing. I do like the cute screen message in Dog Mode, and yes, Sentry should be on too, why the heck not...

    Seat heaters reset?

    I wish the seat heaters would turn off when putting the vehicle in Park! I find it annoying they stay at the last setting, wasting energy.

    Best Tires For Comfort and Efficiency?

    Yes they do; I've seen the inside after a puncture that was small and fixable.

    Post if you actually purchased the EAP?

    Got it after much agonizing, at the last minute. No commute, not much highway driving and have tried NOA only once and it made me nervous, it slowed down before changing but, will change the settings to more aggressive (Mad Max?) and try that. It's a big deal to me not to have to switch AP off...

    Lane change blinker

    I have the same issue, left only: sometimes is does 3 blinks and sometimes it stays on and you have to manually stop it. Very frustrating. I am about to file it as a service issue.

    Cabin overheat protection not working post 2020.32.3

    Same on mine! In the SoCal desert for a week with COP protection on but I just checked via the App and it's 120. And the Climate setting on the App only goes to 81 which is too powerdraining; the supposed 105 protection would be just fine. And even better would be to finally add COP to the App...

    Model 3 power frunk UI questions

    Thanks destructure00 and all for this info! An automated frunk would be great especially in these covid-19 days with curbside pickups for take-out food and - more importantly ;-) - beer from local breweries here in NorCal. Drive up, open the trunk, they can drop in the stuff, close it, all...

    Tesla Insurance

    Very good points Sir, thanks. Yes it's about claim handling more than discounts, as we found out when our house burned down in the NorCal Tubbs Fire 2017. Allstate was quite good then, compared to others, although they did not extend the ALE (Additional Living Expense, which is rent etc.) costs...

    Tesla Insurance

    I keep trying to get a TI quote online filling in the form but everything time I get "Error - undefined". Did this over a few months, since my Allstate charges over $200 a month (and that's with home, 2 cars etc bundled discounts) and Farmers the same. Don't know why the error, and of course...

    Quick Way To Open Trunk From App

    Would be great to get flexibility in the original Tesla App to set one's 3 main buttons. I'd use a trunk button a lot more than frank or fan. And as long as we're at it: I find the top right Loot button a waste of prime real estate.

    If you get door dinged while sitting in the car...

    Solved! My insurer used my Sentry footage with the DMV, found the guy, found his insurer. Took over a month and they didn’t authorize Tesla’s $2k quick & easy door replacement but made me go to a bodyshop, Tesla approved fortunately. Repair was $1,700 plus 5 days rental car (which I waived under...

    If you get door dinged while sitting in the car...

    I got dinged, Sentry caught the offender. Went to the Police with the guy’s license plate, they couldn’t care less. Reported to my full coverage insurance. They said they’d run a DMV check. Tesla repair appt tomorrow. Hope to avoid deductible or premium increase: nail the guy!

    Supercharger - Santa Rosa, CA (LIVE 20 Nov 2019, 20 V3 stalls)

    Still a pitiful excuse for a V3 here. Just pulled in at just under 50% SOC and am getting 70kW. Not what I had hoped for. Is it Tesla or PG&E?

    Thanks but, I would! See my post from Nov 29 in this thread: “Tried 5 chargers before getting one that works. Several cables/handles laying on the ground; others have yellow tape attached to the cable. I hope it’s not vandalism here. The working one got me up to 208kW charging my M3D at almost...

    Supercharger - Santa Rosa, CA (LIVE 20 Nov 2019, 20 V3 stalls)

    Still no V3 speed: 2019 Model 3, battery down to 100 miles, getting just 100kW, library side, 4 other Teslas. Dropped to 80kW in 5 minutes. Drove to the Guerneville Rd chargers, no one there: 81kW and dropping. Such a disappointing SC after the high hopes for V3 in town :(

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

    Finally got .7 but alas, the car still doesn’t hear voice commands half the time or more, using the steering wheel button. I can yell or sweettalk, doesn’t make a difference ;) but I’m not trying this anymore with passengers on board...

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

    I'm feeling SO deprived still being on 40.50.1..... I keep checking but nuffin' yet! Voice commands issue for sure: it typically hears the first one then nothing else. Can't even navigate anymore using voice commands!

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

    Kinda glad to see this, as I feel like I'm the only one still on 50.1 ;-) and voice commands via the steering wheel are not working 95% of the time. Checking my App every like half hour now :-)

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

    Still sitting at 40.50.1 and voice commands still not heard after saying just one that works. Gotta be patient I guess, busy/holidays time; maybe Tesla will skip .5 for my M3AWD and go straight to .7. But it's a day off today 1/1 so I'm clicking the App like every hour ;-) Happy New Year, fellow...

    New Tesla Solar & Power Wall Order

    Been waiting for a tweet response to Solar for months. And I'm on our HOA's Solar Committee, 122 condos. Nothing to date. Looking at 2020 of course but still, would be nice to get even just a simple "We have received your request and will respond further as soon as feasible". Dead silence is...

    Feature request - keep car unlocked at home location

    Still not an option, even with the amazing updates in 2019.40.50. I sure hope it’ll come some day, as the workarounds with e.g. a separate Garage Profile etc are just that: workarounds, meaning work, and too easy to forget.

    Supercharger - Santa Rosa, CA (LIVE 20 Nov 2019, 20 V3 stalls)

    I pretty much love everything Tesla including my M3 but the launch of this SC is excruciating, a multi-month ordeal now. Maybe it’s PG&E or a contractor but man, annoying!

    "Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

    MASTER THREAD: 2019.36.2.3 and .4 [nothing new in release notes In comparison to prior version]

    Tried 5 chargers before getting one that works. Several cables/handles laying on the ground; others have yellow tape attached to the cable. I hope it’s not vandalism here. The working one got me up to 208kW charging my M3D at almost 900 mph from a low 56 m left battery, but by SOC 165 miles it’s...

    Range of M3awd dual with 2019.36.2.1 at 12,000 miles

    New LR AWD 322mi range: will existing LR AWD cars get the increased range?

    Tesla is so cool: notice on my screen recommending charging up to 100% due to the latest PG&E PSPS here in Santa Rosa. Did that overnight on my LR AWD 19" Sport Wheels, car delivered this past April. The original max was 310, recently dropped to 307. I rarely charge to full, but we had several...

    Roadside Assistance - First Experience

    Excellent! I damaged the front right rim on my brand new M3 about 2 hours after picking it up, in front of the neighbor I was showing this super vehicle too. Yes it takes getting used to, the rims sticking out some and just being in a new car, wider than it seems, but fortunately no tire damage...

    Model 3 thunk noise in rear

    Anyone have any idea what this noise is? I just spent hours at the San Rafael Service Center, second time and they can't find anything. I'd kept a spreadsheet for weeks detailing what and when, and even managed to do a sound recording. The challenge for them is that it's occasional, they can't...

    [POLL] Why do you think Tesla is raising FSD by $1K November 1, 2019?

    Your Buick description in your signature "Hers: Buick Enclave Premium; White Diamond Tricoat; 20" Polished Aluminum; Black Interior; no AP or FSD! Smells like dead dinosaurs." is awesome :)

    Mobile app 3.10.0, Homelink

    I got my M3 in early April and paid $3,000 for AP - bad timing, as the same car is now $4,000 cheaper but, well, it could have gone up too, you never know, and I’ve been loving this incredible vehicle for 6 months now :) Point being: I did get AP but still no App update nor Homelink button. I am...
