    Stuck on ‘update available’

    I’ve had this for several days and tried most of the suggestions above but none worked. I scheduled a service appointment and a few days later I received a text from Tesla that they were reviewing my service request. Later that day I got a notification that the update was ready to install...

    MASTER THREAD: USB drives that work with Sentry and TeslaCam

    Like many of you I've seen this problem come and go, totally unstable and quite annoying. I got the following as recommended from another thread and I've had it for over a week now without any issues. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BPK3XWW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    MASTER THREAD: USB drives that work with Sentry and TeslaCam

    Like everyone else, I've been having the same problem after the update a few versions ago. Even with more updates it would work for an hour or so and then the same error message of the drive not fast enough would show up again. Yesterday I installed the Taptes wireless charger and used their USB...

    Taptes Armrest Cover - Improperly Shipped But Otherwise Decent [Vendor resolved issue]

    I also got my Taptes armrest cover recently. It was shipped in the bigger box as shown above. The color and quality matches quite well with the white interior.

    Recommendations (or warnings) on non-contact front license plate holder?

    Watch the video from the link I posted. The magnet is on the lower part of the bracket that is fastened to the grill below the bumper.

    Recommendations (or warnings) on non-contact front license plate holder?

    The felt backing is there to protect the bumper, but from what I can see it doesn't even touch the bumper with a couple of millimeters in clearance. My car has about 3k miles but I don't usually put the front plates on, only in sensitive areas like parking in downtown SF. The magnetic design...

    MASTER THREAD: USB drives that work with Sentry and TeslaCam

    I’m also on 24.4 and use a 128GB USB3.0, today I saw the same message for the first time. I checked the contents and it has barely 5GB on it so far (cleaned it up a couple of days ago). I’m going to reformat it and see if it helps.

    Routing With No Traffic Data

    I saw the same thing yesterday for the very first time. I thought there was no cell signal but the LTE icon showed full bars. The message did go away after a couple of minutes.

    CA HOV Stickers

    Well finally there has been some welcome update for me: Check mailed 05/31 Check cashed 07/10 I’m hoping I’ll get the decals in the next week or so.

    Fastrak Toll Road Stickers Working With M3 Windshield?

    Wow this is 100x better than the toll tag we got in the Bay Area.

    Model 3 Mud Flaps

    I'm considering this myself: Model 3 Carbon Fiber Splash Guards

    Front License Plate Wrap?

    Unless DMV says these are legal replacements to the official plates they issue, I’m gonna assume they’re not. Looks cool though.

    Ottosteer Tesla Model 3 Front License Plate Bracket?

    I think most folks don’t use the safety screws since the magnets are strong enough. This way it’s easy to remove the bracket when washing or for whatever reason.

    New Car Pick Up Portugal

    Nice car in a beautiful place, spent a week in Lisbon a couple of years ago and I loved that city. Next time I’ll check out the Algarve region.

    Got A Ticket From Chp For Not Having Hov Stickers

    I’m on Highway 87 and 85 most of the time and I see carpool violators every single day. I think all of these drivers including you know the penalty for such violation. Now it’s time to pay. In my case I’m patiently waiting for my HOV decals. Until then, the slow lane it is.

    Undercarriage retaining water?

    I wash my car on an inclined driveway with the front section at the higher end of the incline. When I'm done I move it to the garage which is flat. Immediately after I park in the garage I usually see a steady stream of water for something like a minute from the undercarriage. I'm gonna try...

    Front license plate

    Took delivery last month, mine came without the front bracket installed. So far, every new Tesla (ones with temporary plates) I see on the road here in the Bay Area don’t have them either.

    Is the model 3 too common now?

    Priced from 35k to 68k and built in thousands every month, it’s only a matter of time before they become as ubiquitous as similarly priced cars. In the Bay Area they’re already everywhere. Don’t think Model 3 owners around here think their cars are unique. If one really wants a unique Tesla, the...

    Model 3 Glass Roof Sunshade

    Both but it’s not significant IMO, probably an eighth of an inch.

    Model 3 Glass Roof Sunshade

    I bought this one. I wouldn’t say it’s absolutely perfect fit as there is minor gap but not that noticeable. It does help with the heat especially when the sun is right above. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07QNJR94V/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A8LFJGVYWS5U8&psc=1

    Plastic vibration noise inside coming from dash area

    I taped those plastic hinges but it seems that it didn’t solve my issue. Granted even with the tape it wasn’t secure enough that it still wiggles slightly. I’ll redo the tape and make sure the plastic hinges are really secure. This vibration is kinda annoying to me when I don’t have the music on.

    What do you use more? Trunk/Frunk

    I use the trunk 99% of the time vs. the frunk simply because I feel like I'm gonna bend that flimsy metal every time I close the frunk.

    FRONT LICENSE PLATE IN BAY AREA

    Front plates should be a fix it ticket but the cellphone violation is permanent, at least that what I've been told when I got the same ticket years ago. Basically the fines get bigger if you get caught again. While the fine was like $20, I think I paid close to $200 after all the fees were added...

    Car broken into, no smashing, as if it had been unlocked. What happened? [from 2019]

    Sorry to hear about this. Fortunately as you say, you didn’t lose much. I have made it a habit when I walk away from my car to check if the side mirrors are folded (enabled the auto fold setting) and/or at least once check the app to confirm that my car is really locked.

    Plastic vibration noise inside coming from dash area

    Thanks for sharing, will have to check mine out later today. I figured it was wind related because I only hear it at higher speeds and not on uneven roads. I’m hearing something similar on the passenger side of the dash. Was yours on the passenger side as well?

    Long term Parking options at for SFO.

    Sounds reasonable, will be traveling for a week later this month, I may give them a try.

    CA HOV Stickers

    Looking at all these timelines I guess I’ll be lucky to get my stickers by the end of summer having mailed it only a week ago.

    With my “semi-aggressive” driving habits, I’d be happy to get 15k miles.

    SR with 2019.7.105 but no sentry mode?

    Can't log into my Tesla iPhone app today (pics)

    Just wanted to add that as soon as the delivery guy pulled up my driveway I was able to log in the app. My earlier guess was right and it made sense in my situation but for you folks who have been waiting for a while and don't have a delivery date yet, it doesn't. Hope the good news comes soon...

    Performance Waiting Room

    Well my car was delivered today. Besides a couple of really minor paint issues (I'm typically OCD but this won't make me lose sleep LOL), BTW, the navigation was stuck as if I was in Fremont and after I drove for a couple of miles it corrected itself...that got me worried a little bit. I'm happy!

    Can't log into my Tesla iPhone app today (pics)

    Same here. My home delivery is scheduled for this afternoon. My guess is that Tesla disables mobile access for cars that are close to delivery then enable it when it's actually delivered. Make sense that they don't want inadvertent access to the car before delivery. Just a guess. We'll see if...

    Performance Waiting Room

    A rep from Tesla called me this afternoon and confirmed that my car is actually ready to be delivered tomorrow. That’s 7 days (I ordered late at night on April 30th) from order to delivery. Unfortunately I’m very busy this week I have to postpone the fun stuff to Saturday. I don’t even have a...

    Performance Waiting Room

    Good morning folks! I ordered my white on white on April 30th and this morning I got an email saying that I need to pay my balance. At the same time I received a text indicating that my M3P is tentatively scheduled to be delivered to my house tomorrow! I certainly didn’t expect this text...
