    Model 3 Trunk Lights Don't Always Turn On

    Ha! Found this page searching for why our 2018 model 3 trunk lights turn off quickly. No issue on the 2019. And wouldn't you know, two years ago I complained to Tesla about the noise while turning, and said the same "It's normal". NO IT'S NOT! Was only in lower temps back then, now it is...

    Battery/gateway and Internet comms

    Alright, NEVERMIND. Found that the medium sized ones will work if and only if you thread them through upside down from the bottom to stat. Now I feel like I just took a Mensa test.

    Battery/gateway and Internet comms

    Sorry to revive and old thread, but I"m trying to locate a padlock that will secure my gateway boxes and not having any luck. Got a couple small ones, and they aren't able to be threaded through the holes due to how the securing mechanism is located on the side and close to the actual cabinet...

    2000 Mile Roadtrip from LA to Colorado. First long road trip (Pics)

    Great pics! But after living in Denver for 20 years, I'll never drive my own car through Colorado or Utah during the summer months. I'm officially done with baseball sized hail!

    After FSD 3.0, Summon accident!!! Crashed my bumper and hood

    Here is the damage done to our Model 3 by a 2017 Model S attempting to use auto park/summon from the spot next to us. Don't do it people. You're not just risking your own vehicle, but others as well. This was a PIA to have to deal with.

    Car not turning off when exiting the vehicle

    Resurrecting this as it just started happening to me. 2019 Model 3, 311XXX vid, May 2019 build date. I started getting the "front left restraint failure" [sic] error right as the Covid thing started. Finally got around to taking it in Friday to have it fixed, and then this started happening...

    Supercharger - Buena Park, CA - Beach Boulevard (LIVE 17 Jun 2020, 24 urban stalls)

    Had planned to stop here on Friday on our way to Disneyland and "top off" before valet parking so that we didn't vampire drain too much. Only after Tejon did I realize it said "temp closed" (I had been using Abetterrouteplanner.com). Had I realized that, I would have pushed through to Santa...

    Anyone got pics of the hatchback open?

    Hopefully there's a way to strap them down as well? Would suck to have those things launch at your screen during hard braking.....

    I’ll get roasted but here goes anyway

    I am the same. ;-) Jimi wallet FTW! That being said, I do carry the RFD card in there as a backup. It does work: 1) Drivers License 2) Apple CC 3) Telsa card key 4) Debit card 5) insurance card on other side under the cash. As a minimalist, what more do you need? :-) (Note, I only carry the...

    Thinking about becoming a two-Tesla family but have some Q's

    I planned ahead and just dropped 2 outlets (each on it's own circuit) ahead of time. Was easy since I they are off the sub panel that feeds the solar system (or is that vice versa?). Since I work from home, I only charge like once a week, and now that PG&E shifted off-peak hours, I can plug in...

    My solution for quarter panel break ins

    Hey all, sorry to come in late and resurrect an old thread, but I find this idea intriguing and had a question. First, not a victim of break in's yet, but I did just get this product to install on my wife's 3: Model 3 Rear Corner Window Protector Kit - $39 with 20% Off Seems like it will do...

    Phone Key Keeps Disconnecting

    solved this problem for my wife's phone. I could still connect on BT and stream music, but app always said "enable BT to use this phone as a key"..... which was wrong. After trying everything, I DELETED the Tesla app from the phone, then reinstalled it from the App Store. Then re-paired it as a...

    Blog Tesla Horn to Get Custom Sounds – Goats, Farts, Coconuts

    Doubtfull. I have the "speaker grille" facade, empty plug behind it. Just need to wait for Tesla to start selling it like the home link add on.

    Phone Key Keeps Disconnecting

    Disagree. We have two Model 3's, two iPhones. Both cars registered to one Tesla account. We must have the app (on whatever phone we're using) switch to select a specific model 3. That is, if I have my app, set to my 3, I CANNOT even unlock my wife's 3. Swipe the app to change, and it's fine...

    DIY Retracting Charging Cable. Took me 3 days to figure it all out.

    Any concerns with the added cable length at the same gauge? There is a limit based on gauge and amps, IIRC?

    Things my wife said about Navigate on Autopilot tonight

    Haven't had time to read the 7 pages of posts just since yesterday, but to the OP, your wife sounds like mine! We left a birthday party last night a 9 pm.... 15 miles out on a dark country highway (two lanes) with deer in the area. I was looking forward to AP.... and she says to me "You're...

    DIY Retracting Charging Cable. Took me 3 days to figure it all out.

    Very cool. A couple of suggestions: 1) I think your pulling cable is bearing (rubbing) agains that wood cross member? Might want to feed that through an eyelet of some type so that it doesn't dig into the wood. 2) Maybe put another cable guide (similar to the one installed in the drywall where...

    Supercharger Fathead for garage or shell?

    I tried the vinyl decal route and it came out horrible (wrinkles on the bottom). So I'm getting ready to CNC a "half shell" out of plywood, then paint it to look real. It will be hinged on one side, and will enclose my Clipper Creek HCS-40. Good news is there is plenty of room in the base of the...

    USB Music Playlist Workaround

    Anybody been able to get voice request to work? When I say "Play XXXX", and there are multiple choices, say artists and songs, it fails. Ex: "Play Cars" Search screen shows the artist "The Cars", as well as multiple songs below it. When I tap the artist "The Cars", it just disappears and no...

    USB Music Playlist Workaround

    I just copied my iTunes folder at the artist level directly over. That is, there are subfolders for albums. And it has them correctly organized, but I don't know if it's the folder structure or the metadata that did that. now if only the alabetic index was on the LEFT and it actually got to the...

    upgraded audio vs. premium audio

    Ok, DOH! I guess you don't move that slider DOWN to get more BASS....... I was thinking of the frequency spectrum I guess! I moved it above the middle, and now it's mucho better. And I'll add one more point to my "maybe it's time to retire" score...... :confused:

    upgraded audio vs. premium audio

    yeah, I increased the bass before the USB test. Also the midrange a little.

    upgraded audio vs. premium audio

    Quoting my post to update: After putting all my music on a USB, I have to say that it sounds a LOT better from that source than from bluetooth. Still want that low end thump for my Rock genre though.

    upgraded audio vs. premium audio

    Just registered so I could comment on this. I took delivery of my SR+ this week. My wife has had an LR, premium sound since July '18. The SR+ system sounds "ok", but it's definitely missing a good sub. and the rear speakers. I've asked twice (on the phone, and at delivery) if a salvaged...
