    Taycan Takedown

    I'm not opposed to more screens, but I think it will be depend on how configurable the UI is. If it's able to be completely personalized, then great, but if not, it would be weird to the same thing on multiple screens. It wouldn't add any utility for the passenger to see the GPS right in front...

    Taycan Takedown

    I'm curious how much duplication there will be across screens. From the pictures they released, the passenger side screen is showing the phone, media, and GPS functions. That's not an ideal spot for a driver to be looking for those things, which suggests they'll have to be duplicated on the...

    What’s The Best Windshield Sunshade?

    Thanks for the heads up. The one I have has a soft fabric cover on the edge and I'm pretty gentle putting it in. I like the stiffness as I can rest it on the top edge of the screen then tip it into place without it ever really touching the dash. I also don't really use it often as I park...

    Model 3 with 400 mile range

    The website still shows 1.9. Do you have a link where they said they wouldn't achieve that?

    What’s The Best Windshield Sunshade?

    I have this one. I like it because it's stiff which I think makes it easier to put in the windshield. It fits well and overall I'm pretty happy with it.

    Can't get in

    I don't know, try yoga maybe? I'm 6'3" and don't have any problem getting in or out without moving the wheel. It's plenty big.

    Service for paint defect

    But what did Tesla do wrong here? Sure, there were some minor paint defects from the factory. Tesla's taking care of the OP while providing a loaner and sending the car to a body shop. I have the same on my Ford F-150 and it wasn't fixed/I didn't notice it when I bought it. I would guess...

    Should i buy it?

    A couple of thoughts on this: 1. I think you're overestimating the service costs of the Tesla, but if you are want to use that as a contingency, I get it. 2. As @ilg said, you will likely qualify for the federal tax credit as you're working. You can either get that back as a refund when you...

    Tesla's Tesla Trade In is Broken

    I suspect they want the leases back in 3 years to add to/replace the existing loaner fleets at service centers.

    Will I be happy with Slacker?

    I agree that Slacker seems to repeat too often (I don't know if it's their algorithm or a limited library), but I just skip the song if I feel like I've heard it too frequently. If you're not a huge music person, Slacker will probably be just fine.

    Tesla Model 3 Winter Tire Package questions...

    Are you on the front range or in the mountains? I've been trying to consider what to get for winter tires and am considering the Tesla package with Sottozeros.

    Tint problem and seeking advises

    I'd would personally go with #2 and then go find another installer to redo it in one piece.

    Granted 5,000 supercharging miles from referral - revoked due to "error"

    A price increase from when you put down a deposit to receiving your final paperwork is totally different than not receiving a referral bonus you didn't pay or do anything for due to a state law.

    Granted 5,000 supercharging miles from referral - revoked due to "error"

    Again, it’s very clearly stated in the disclaimers that Ohio is not eligible. Yeah, it sucks they showed up in your loot box then disappeared, but if you had looked into it before your purchase you would have known you weren’t eligible. You also didn’t answer if you had planned to use the...

    Yep, it's right in the referral program information along with all the other disclaimers. Referral Program

    Granted 5,000 supercharging miles from referral - revoked due to "error"

    OK, so a potential referral of ~$265 drove your decision on timing. Got it. And you didn't use any of that potential referral for 3 months, when it expires after 6 months? Were you planning on taking a bunch road trips in the next 3 months that would have used up the 5,000 miles? I'm just...

    Granted 5,000 supercharging miles from referral - revoked due to "error"

    So you bought a $40K-$50K+ car based upon a referral reward worth approximately $330 (based on Tesla's calculation on their website)?

    SentryCam Recording Questions

    The system creates those subfolders. The Dash cam records 1 hour worth of drive time, then writes over the oldest file. Those files get saved into the Recent folder. Sentry Mode recordings, or if you save Dash cam recordings by pushing the camera icon (saves last 10 minutes), get saved in...

    Vomit smell when starting air conditioning

    Not that I'm aware of. I think those reports I read were on here and what people had been told by service/mobile techs. Who knows if it's true. Sometimes it seems like the standard response is: "it's a software bug, they're working on it."

    Price difference between P3D+ and P3D-

    The base white exterior, black interior version is $49,990. Some reports they are limited to inventory, and perhaps by region, but it seems like the answer really depends on what sales associate you talk to.

    Vomit smell when starting air conditioning

    I think I read that a software update was supposed to keep the fan on for a couple of minutes after the car shuts down in order to dry up any condensation in the lines and prevent the mildew buildup.

    Second thoughts on FSD

    It still bong-bings. Probably a requirement for auditory notification to driver that Autosteer has been deactivated.

    Just got 2019.24.4

    I tested further last night on my way home as well and I found that of my 5 lane changes, the quick activation of the turn signal (three blinks) deactivated Autosteer 2 times. The others I had to physically steer the wheel to get it deactivated. I rebooted last night and the one time I tried...

    Second thoughts on FSD

    I see I got quoted into this thread, so I just want to add one follow up comment on what I posted yesterday as to issues I was having with Autosteer and TACC. Driving home last night, I again tested whether Autosteer would disable using the turn signal. Of 5 lane changes I made, Autosteer...

    Learned something new today.. thanks Mercedes...

    I had a recent experience with this dilemma. The day I test drove a Tesla, my brother and I stopped by a Mercedes dealer to test drive a GLC 350e, their PHEV SUV, as my sister-in-law is starting to think about her next car. So of the dealers in town, only one had any in inventory and they had...

    Tesla finally makes a CHAdeMO adapter compatible with Model 3

    I had the same thing with my UMC (popping and charging stopped). Ended up being bad UMC so it might be your adapter. I was able to get mine replaced under warranty by describing the problem to the parts department and avoided having to go through service, so you might try that.

    Model 3 performance new 18 inch wheel option now avail 7/15/19

    I see you're in Loveland, so I just sent you a PM with my sales adviser's info. She's at Park Meadows and I was talking with her about these last week as I was considering swapping my LR AWD. At the time,we discussed if it would be a limited time offering and she said she didn't know, but she...

    Just got 2019.24.4

    Yeah, it felt like I was fighting the car for control where I remember hearing the deactivating chime as soon as I used the turn signal before. Maybe I'm mis-remembering or it was just a one off, but I didn't like the way it was working.

    Just got 2019.24.4

    I thought that the blinker was supposed to turn off Autosteer. But today it didn't and it felt like wrestling control of the car to change lanes. I just didn't like the feel of fighting the car for control just for a lane change. I didn't recall having to do that before this update. If you...

    Just got 2019.24.4

    I got 2019.24.4 last night and I noticed this morning that using the turn signal didn't disable Autosteer (I just have standard AP, no FSD). Has anyone else noticed this? I don't use Autosteer often, but I'd rather not have to disable TACC in order to change lanes if I do have it on and I...

    Service Center Charging me for warranty issues?

    I don't think it's uncommon for them to give you an estimate in case once they get in there, they figure out it's not a warranty issue. I'd just confirm it prior to signing anything or having them start work.

    Service Center Charging me for warranty issues?

    Were you actually charged or is that just the estimate they gave you in advance of the work? I ask because I've seen some reports of people getting those estimates in advance for what were clearly warranty issues and then not being charged once the work was complete. I've also had other...

    How does test drive work?

    Just as an FYI, it's a 7 day, 1,000 mile return policy, so I think it makes sense to test drive one before you buy. I'm about as far from a service center/sales center as you are from the sales center around Sacramento (4 hours round trip). As someone else suggested, I blocked off a Saturday...

    How does test drive work?

    They might do sales there. There is a service center in Denver that also does sales, which I had no idea about until I showed up to pick up my car on delivery day. Maybe someone who's in the Reno/Tahoe area knows what's at that Reno location better. Or you could try to call the service...

    Those with EnhancedAP to receive 3k discount on FSD

    You're right that we don't know an individual's tax situation, but it doesn't really matter for this discussion. Tesla priced the vehicles with the federal tax rebate in effect. Everyone should have known that it was decreasing 50% after January 1 and should have been able to reason that...

    Model 3 performance new 18 inch wheel option now avail 7/15/19

    I think it's almost a guarantee that the P3D- in inventory right now are unlocked LR AWD models. The speed with which they flooded the inventory after the price announcement suggests that's the most likely answer. So as far as tires go, I think you're going to see the same 3 options (as far...

    Insurance rate increased. Anyone else?

    That's weird, I was able to get a quote from my State Farm agent without a VIN. Once I had a VIN, rate matched the quote. Cost about $.50/month cheaper than my 2013 F150 costs with the same coverage on both.

    Anyone using the Seasucker Mini Bomber bike rack on their Model 3?

    Thanks, that's what I figured would be the case. I suppose I could get some PPF and mock up replacement tape strips and take it off each summer, but that seems like a pain. I'll have to think about some more before ski season.

    Minimum comfortable garage size for Model 3

    Where did you get that set up? I use the old fashioned tennis ball on a string, but would like to switch to something like that.

    Anyone using the Seasucker Mini Bomber bike rack on their Model 3?

    How noticeable is the 3M tape when the rack is taken off? I'm considering the Tesla rack for ski transport in the winter and would like to take off during the summer (opposite of your situation).

    Sentry Mode questions

    It doesn't record the dash cam when the car is parked. Just Sentry events. The hour long dash cam is only when the car is running and just writes over itself. If you tap the camera while driving, it will move the last 10 minutes to the Saved folder.

    For AWD owners wanting a P3D-

    Again I never said there wasn't more stress. That was quite literally never part of the discussion. Look, I guess you want me to say you're right. So, you're right, I'm wrong. There's clearly a HUGE warranty liability related to the performance acceleration. Have a good one man.
  44. M

    For AWD owners wanting a P3D-

    Yep, just like you and pretty much everyone else on this forum. We're all making inferences and guesstimates based on what we observe. Again, I didn't see you cite your data that shows an increase in warranty costs related to performance models. Did I miss that somewhere?
  45. M

    For AWD owners wanting a P3D-

    Never said I had any data. Just like you don't have data that the P acceleration/power raises the risk of warranty claims or unit failures. It's just a theory based on anecdotal evidence and Tesla's pricing actions and offerings. I still believe the margin is high on a AWD to P- upgrade or...

    Model 3 performance new 18 inch wheel option now avail 7/15/19

    Yes, I got a quote both yesterday and this morning (same price, but vehicle that was available yesterday sold). She told me they have tons of demand for these right now and she sold 2 yesterday.

    Sentry Mode questions

    I don't think you can have just Sentry and not dash cam, but as long you don't need to download the dash footage, just ignore the Recent folder. I don't know why it wouldn't show any clips when you have events though. Maybe try a reboot and sleep cycle without the USB drive in and Sentry off?

    Model 3 performance new 18 inch wheel option now avail 7/15/19

    Just got mine and it's the same. So no trade and replacement for me. I'll have to hope for a software uncork.

    Sentry Mode questions

    Do you see two folders within the TeslaCam folder? The SentryMode recordings will be in the Saved folder. The Recent folder will just have the last hour of driving from the dash cam function.
