Wow what are the odds. If the car is still on your block, I would tip off Pasadena PD or LASD asap. Keep an eye out for this person, clearly they need to be stopped before someone else ends up with thousands in damage—or worse.

Current / Total Estimate for all repairs is ~$9,000.00, which insurance is covering sans my deductible: Windshield Replacement Roof Glass Replacement (due to chipping) Pillar / Rail Repainting (both sides) Front Fender Repainting (both sides) Front Fender Repeater Replacement (both sides - due...

Oh there's more to this saga since my original post, and yes I am going through my insurance. They've already completed original claim. Anything else will be supplemental through the body shop. Another Nextdoor community member (let's call her Sally) spotted the suspect vehicle traveling near...

This occurred a few days ago, but sharing to the community here for awareness. An individual attempted to remove my Model 3 windshield over the course of nearly 6 hours (11:45 PM to 5:30 AM) on Friday, July 15, while parked on the street outside of my house. He was unsuccessful, but botched the...

Second time charging @ this SC (Dec 13 / Jan 12) and still appears to be free! No charges on my CC. Wonder how long it'll take for billing network to kick in.

Over 3 months now on 12.1.2...last update was May 7.

I'm still waiting for the software downgrade. It's been 2 months now since I received the notice, and 3 months since my last software update to 2019.12.1.2 5c87371.

Great updates in this thread! Can't wait until they're up and running. The added sites in East Pasadena makes this even better.

Sheet is still being updated. Now up to 212 responses.

Amen to minimalism ;) and having a giant iPhone on wheels isn't so bad either! I remember "phantom building" a Model 3 a few times when the tax incentive was $7.5k and said nah...too expensive. Now look what happened haha. I ended up with mine for a variety of reasons—mostly economical—I was...

This is likely true. I'm just compiling what's being reported here, so the data itself has no bias (but owners might!). With that said, I can't even say if it's a true representative sample of the Model 3 community. We'd have to survey way more people. I'm sure Tesla has some version of this...

See video on how to sort. I only selected a limited range, but if you want to sort the entire list, just keep selecting down to the last row. Not the most ideal way to sort here, but I don't know of a better way. Well I don't know about that ;)

@mact3333 - Out of pure curiosity, I converted this thread into a spreadsheet. It's not scientific whatsoever, and also doesn't take account for what people upgraded to, since not everyone (including myself) didn't specify. I'm gonna try to keep it updated. It's pretty interesting to see it...

2005 Infiniti G35 Coupe (purchased used in '09 — it was a fun ride for 10 years)

I'll likely reformat soon since I plan to remove the music partition.

This is exactly what I do. If there's no damage and everything looks fine, I just ignore the Sentry Mode notification / count and go about my driving. It's not until something happens (hopefully nothing ever does) that I'll be inclined to remove the drive to review the recordings. At that point...

I haven't noticed any strange rattles over the last 2+ months. I guess between having music on and the fact that my last car made all kinds of fun noises, this experience has been like driving in a cloud-like anechoic chamber to me.

I don't wanna go as far as saying it's like babysitting another device, but that's exactly what it is—a giant iPhone on wheels that we can't neglect. It's a blessing and a curse. Yesterday I kept checking my app and watched the interior temp quickly jump to 100+. I park underground during the...

256 SanDisk Ultra Fit - TeslaCam Partition: 200 GB - Music Partition: 50 GB* *Currently debating reformatting / removing the music partition since I stream from Spotify most of the time. This USB has also crashed at least 3-4 times since installing it. I've come back to my car to see the dash...

It was rather toasty here in SoCal yesterday. I recharged my car to 205 mi. in the morning. By end of the day I had lost ~10 mi. due to cabin overheat protection while parked outside my house (interior easily hit 100°-101° by mid afternoon). I charge exclusively at public stations, so looks like...

Got the e-mail this morning as well. Looks like I'm turning off immersive audio when I get back to my car...to soften the blow. It was nice while it lasted!

I lose about 1-2 mi/hr with Sentry Mode on. If I don't have Sentry Mode on (say overnight ~11-12 hrs), I lose 1-2 mi in that entire timespan. I haven't had to park for multiple days without driving, I only imagine this scenario if I'm at the airport. Even then, it would probably take a week+ to...

On my way home, the song I was listening to sounded more full—so I pulled up the control and flipped the toggle to discover I'm a dumbass. Though, I still wonder when they'll remove this feature from SR folks like me. I also can't decide if Sentry Mode is great, or if ignorance is bliss...6...

I was totally wrong on this. Immersive sound is still there. I guess I was too tired this morning to really notice the difference.

Interesting. I might have to double check on the range, but immersive sound is definitely gone for me. Toggled on and off this morning, no difference.

Partial-immersive sound / fog lights now removed from SR on 12.1.2 Maybe someone can confirm whether the battery is locked to 220mi, as expected. At least I finally have Sentry Mode. Also can’t say if mobile key isn’t working within range, I can’t be the only person who (almost) always unlocks...

Very likely if your manufacture date is 04/19+. Mine was 357xxx. If yours comes with 2019.7.xxx installed, you have HW3.

I spent about 30 minutes. Went for panel gaps first, then paint imperfections (very few/minor) which I had them document), then all exterior lighting, interior, mechanical functions (frunk, trunk, power folding mirrors, etc.)

My SR. Nothing too special, but I'm keeping this one simple: - 30% LLumar CTX Ceramic Tint - No-Hole Front Plate Kit - Kenriko Metallic Black Console Wrap

Haha man if I was in the area I'd totally help you out. The only thing I'd do differently next time is covering each finished panel with microfiber, in case of dumbass scratches like what happened to mine. I was told to try heating it up a little bit since the vinyl material is supposed to be...

I just installed mine tonight, brushed black metal. At some point during the process though, I lightly scratched the center piece—which really pisses me off since I must've let my guard down while fumbling with the envelope all the pieces came in. (If anyone knows how I could fix it, that'd be...

I haven't had any glaring issues—except one time my car did ask for the keycard at the cupholder, despite phone key being connected (and used to unlock it)...

This is crazy because we have the same mfg. date 4/19 but I don't have Sentry Mode, and DO have HW3. Is there a way can find out the exact date these cars came off the line (MM/DD/YYYY)? I was under the impression that anyone who has 2019.7.x on delivery has HW3.

I got Pearl White, so far so good! (except for some minor paint nicks that they're gonna take care of in a few weeks). Make sure you thoroughly inspect your ride when you get it—have a rep document anything wrong with the paint, panels, etc. They should be writing up a due bill for you on the...

Hello fellow Pasadenian! That sales rep is plain wrong. The SR base cloth interior never entered production. My SR order was delivered as an SR+ with all partial premium interior features. I also got confirmation from other SR owners that updating software will not lock those features (for...

It'll probably happen one day without warning, and speaking of downgrades, I was (stupidly) confused about where the parking lights ended and fog lights actually began. I can live without these.

Ah sorry I misunderstood. I'm curious what the premium setup + amp/sub sounds like now. For me, the immersive is doing the job (after coming from a 15 year old, 6-speaker "premium" Bose setup).

I tried doing this today just to make myself feel better about what I'm (eventually) going to lose. You're absolutely right, it's just not the same.

I'm updating my software right now. It's a 45 minute update, though I'm still not sure if that means I'm getting 7.105 or 8.5. Should be done soon. And I can totally live without the fog lights. The partial immersive sound on the other hand...definitely worth whatever upcharge they plan in the...

Here are mine. Paint nicks on the passenger side rear quarter panel / door. Already have an appointment in a few weeks for correction (due bill written up on delivery day / comp detail). No panel gaps or any other major "wtf" observations. (Early-Mid April build / Burbank delivery center)

I don't doubt features will be locked one way or the other, although one SR owner on Reddit is claiming they didn't remove any features when going from 7.102 to 8.5.x. I guess they know what they're doing....get us used to the experience now, so we're willing to pay up later.

I'm really uncertain. I dismissed the installation this morning since I had to drive to work. It's pretty clear that I'm driving a SR+ without any software locks, but if updating means the fog lamps, immersive sound, etc. gets taken away from me (because they must know somehow that it's not...

I have a software update pending...but if this is the case, not sure I'd want to now. The thought did occur to me that they might remove those features.

Last 6 digits: 357xxx Manufactured: 04/19

Thanks for the clarity on this! I really wish they displayed which software is being installed.

I just received the update notification this morning, they must be listening. Says a 45 min update, I'm assuming I'll be brought up to 2019.8.5 (or greater?).

D'oh. That's what I was suspecting. I guess I just have to wait for an OTA update at some random point? Any idea if these are scheduled?

I automatically assumed these features would be accessible up front (regardless of whether USB was formatted/installed)—another lesson learned today! Thanks

I'll plug in my USB tomorrow morning and try it out—will Sentry Mode also be available at this point as an option in my settings?

I have a formatted USB ready, but haven't had a chance to plug it in yet. Are you saying I should see Sentry Mode / Dash Cam features enabled once this is done? I don't have the Dash Cam icon on my screen, nor Sentry Mode option in settings. (Forgive my ignorance if this is the case...new owner...
