    Unfortunately it was a hit and run, so I have no information on the other driver.

    Important tip: dash cam SSD disconnected in an accident

    Mine was in the center console inside the Jedi USB hub. The USB hub, with the drive in it, pulled out of the console USB ports when I was rear ended.

    Important tip: dash cam SSD disconnected in an accident

    I was rear ended in a hit-and-run accident this morning. The worst part, I was counting on my dash cam SSD to record the whole thing. Unfortunately, the SSD attached to my 2019 Model 3, in a Jeda USB Hub, disconnected from the force of the collision from behind. I just wanted to post this and...

    Model 3 resell values have plummeted.

    Understood, agreed, but the fact of the matter is, today, the used prices for Tesla's current used inventory are about 10% lower than they were in June. Both cars would have been traded in even with a 10% trade in reduction. 25% down was/is way more extreme than even their own published used...

    Model 3 resell values have plummeted.

    In New York State, if you trade in a used car for the purchase of a new, you don't pay sales tax (~8% depending on the county) on the portion covered by the trade in. This is significant. Selling to another party would need to offset that, plus I'd be out of a car for two months waiting for the...

    Model 3 resell values have plummeted.

    I placed an order for a 2022 M3P FSD on June 23, 2022, based on an offer from Tesla to trade in my 2019 M3 LR AWD FSD. Just before I was to take delivery in late August, Tesla repriced my trade in over 25% lower, citing "market conditions." That is right -- 25% lower in less than 2 months. I...

    Would You Order One with a Non-Glass Roof?

    I’d love to see a convertible 3 and S. It can have a glass, carbon fiber, or aluminum roof.

    Gen 3 Wall Connector Wifi issue

    I had to disable WPA3 (or set up a guest network without WPA3 enabled) on my router in order to get the Gen 3 Wall Connector to connect. I had originally had the router configured for WPA2/3.

    PPF - Do I Really Need It?

    $6000 saved now plus your car as a trade in several years is a big down payment on a new Model 3. I am skeptical if PPF would add that much value on a trade-in, but I truly have no idea on the long term value of PPF. I'm in the northeast with salted roads in the winter; rust will eventually...

    Car doesn't see new TPMS

    My new winter wheels took a long time to sync up. After several ~10 mile trips and trying the manual resets, it finally popped up with a notification stating to use the change wheel configuration to register the new wheels. As both the OEM and new sets are 19-inch wheels, after pulling over, I...

    Sentry Mode in the Rain

    I figured this out when setting off for the morning. There were acorns dropping on the car. They won't hurt anything, but the sound of them hitting must have been setting off sentry mode.

    Sentry Mode in the Rain

    This just happened to my Model 3 on a weekend trip to my brother-in-law's place. I'm doing my usual early morning work on my laptop in the living room during some moderate rain. I kept seeing headlights flash about every minute or two without a car driving by, So I stared off into the...

    Even iOS iPhones now using 80% as a way to extend battery life

    As I understand Apple's feature, when you charge your phone overnight, it will quickly charge to about 80%, then hold off. Based on your ordinary usage, it the tops off to 100% around the time you typically wake up. Their goal is to minimize the amount of time the battery is loaded with a 100%...

    MASTER THREAD: Jack Points — location, use, damage, pads, etc.

    Assuming this is the same issue that bit my Model 3 once and only once, the car likely need to go into deep sleep. This means sentry mode needs to be shut off for a while, like overnight. If that does not fix it, it may be worth reaching out to Tesla service.

    Disappointed with Jeda

    I received my Jeda USB Hub today and installed it. I've set it up with the Jeda Wireless Charger (v2), a USB drive, and a USB-C iPhone charging cable. Initial testing with the drive and two phones wireless charging work just fine. I also tested with the USB drive, one phone wireless charging...

    2019.28.1

    Staging software rollouts is quite accepted across the software industry. Multiple companies I have been a part of do this for various reasons including safety, reliability, and even just controlling server bandwidth needed to deploy (hundreds of) thousands of updates simultaneously. Microsoft...

    Is there a recommended windshield washer fluid?

    I use the same RainX fluid I have for all prior cars. The owner's manual discourages this, as it may result in chattering of the wipers, but seeing in the rain is worth that risk IMO. I've not had any issues so far. I even added the RainX additive to the wiper fluid that shipped from the...

    Disappointed with Jeda

    I previously ordered the Jeda wireless charging pad. It took over a month to come after after several failed promise dates. It is a great product for what it's worth. After setting the expectations in my mind for when I'll get their hub, I did reluctantly place an order. I'll just chill out...

    MASTER THREAD: Jack Points — location, use, damage, pads, etc.

    I had this happen once, it got progressively worse over a day, a reset did not help, and it was gone overnight and never returned.
