I know this is a zombie thread but I just had the same issue and resolved it, so I figured I would post here. Depending on how you have it configured, Windows will move files to a hidden recycle bin on the drive when you delete them. Tesla OS can see this folder, so it indexes it as playable...

Thanks!

I replaced my rear diffuser recently and after I was done, I found a small blue oval plug on the ground near my rear passenger side wheel. The part number of this plug is 1133968-00-B. The diagram of where the part goes in the Model 3 parts catalog seems to indicate that it goes somewhere in the...

Because most people live on the assumption that they will exist for a longer period of time than the current moment and can therefore invest in benefits that they will receive at a later point in time.

Can I get a link to that thread?

I'm okay with a moderate amount of taking things apart. I've already replaced all of the other interior lights and puddle lights with blue ones.

It would be cool to change the color of the dome lights. Does anyone know of an elegant way to do this?

I doubt it but if it did, just swap in some stock Tesla filters and bring it into a service center and play dumb. You'll get that warranty repair. The filter doesn't affect how fast the fan spins, it only affects how much of the air that you feel. You're not going to put any additional stress...

While it's true that 0.3 microns is larger than the size of a covid-19 virus, it is also true that it is smaller than many of the aerosolized droplets that will be carrying it. But it's a moot point because worrying about filtering out virus particles in a vehicle where you won't be near enough...

These filters claim to filter out particles as small as 0.3 microns, which is the same filtration ability as an N95 mask. So if you're worried about covid, and this description can be trusted (no idea if it can or not), they might help. Although I doubt you have to worry much about your car...

Same price for me in MD. Same part except in blue. The body shop is charging $154 for labor. I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to DIY repairs. I've only done the basics but based on the videos, I'd probably attempt the replacement myself if insurance wasn't covering all of it.

What was your procedure for bending them? Did you heat them up and press them up against the light or did you bend them with your hands?

It got up and ran away.

Thanks everyone. That's kind of what I thought but I'm clearly not too smart lately. Hopefully my parts get in soon so that light can get replaced.

If there's any electrical engineers/Tesla techs out there, I need your help with something. Here's the story: A few weeks ago, I hit a deer. The damage was relatively minor, resulting in a crack in the driver's side headlight fixture among other things. I took it to a certified Tesla body shop...

I'm in the same boat. I took it in last week to deal with deer damage and was told the fender was back ordered. Luckily the damage is minor and the car is still driveable but I'm getting really sick of seeing the permanent "something is wrong with your front parking sensor" error message. The...

Same issue and it has been missing for several weeks now. I told Tesla chat about it today and they said it would be reported. They also assured me that it won't interfere with the HW3 upgrade that I'm due for, which was my primary reason for bringing it up.

I like the lack of badge. Most non-Tesla fans can't tell the difference between the 3 and the S just by looking, so people assume I'm a high roller.

Already in the works. Tesla cars will be able to ‘talk’ to vandals and pedestrians

A few months ago I tried scheduling an appointment for the retrofit just to see what would happen, and their official response was that they would notify me when it was my turn. So either they'll contact you when it's your turn or that was just a lie to get people to stop asking for it. No way...

Off topic threads are going to happen no matter how the forum is organized. That's just how forums work, particularly so for forums that attract generally older crowds that aren't accustomed to how a forum is designed to work. If you ever want to feel better about this forum, go take a look at...

Yes. Although I'm on HW2.5 (waiting on my upgrade) so that might be a factor I guess.

I test it every day on my commute. There are several roads I travel with unobstructed speed limit signs that are different than what the car thinks it is. It never gets it right.

No idea. I'm not sure how they would snip it though since it doesn't really have levels like Cuphead does.

Should be. All the other games save. Playing Stardew Valley without saving would be impossible.

Oh man, I've spent an absurd amount of time playing Stardew Valley. I need someone to meet me somewhere and then be really late so that I have an excuse to play it in my car.

I'm not sure. Luckily I haven't had to test it, and my tires will need replacement soon (with only 16k miles...sigh...) so I likely never will. It's probably better than nothing though.

Many people have reported that this compartment isn't large enough for a spare. If you want a spare, it's going to take up trunk space.

Here's my setup: USB1: 256 GB high endurance micro SD card partitioned into Music and TeslaCam/Sentry partitions, connected via adapter. USB2: Portable battery Battery: USB-C PD for fast charging cell phone dock position 1, USB-A to lightning (or whatever I need to swap that out for depending...

True, but it might be worth it to some people if they need that second port for other things.

This: Model S/X/3 Tire Repair Kit

New cars sold in Maryland must come with either a spare tire, run flat tires or a tire repair kit. I didn't get one at delivery because the kit was out of stock, but I called up my service center later and they gave me one for free. Source: 2010 Maryland Code :: TRANSPORTATION :: TITLE 22 -...

You could repartition it every once in a while so that the Sentry partition is at the other end of the drive. It would be the flash drive equivalent of rotating your tires.

I'm not referring to the high beams, although I don't use auto high beams either because I got sick of my car flashing its lights every time I drive past a street sign. I'm referring to the auto headlights feature, which the car defaults to every time I drive. It turns on my headlights in pretty...

Meh. I have to interact with the screen every time I drive anyway so I can turn off the ridiculously over-sensitive auto headlight setting. This won't be a huge deal for me. It's kind of a drag that I can't get Tasker to get my hotspot to turn on automatically though. Looks like it needs a...

I doubt they will since this is in the FAQ on the website: Can I get Premium Connectivity features by using a mobile hotspot? Some features that are available to Standard Connectivity owners over Wi-Fi such as video streaming, Caraoke and the internet browser may also be accessed over mobile...

Tap the LTE bars while driving. It gives you the option to turn it back on. I confirmed this on my way to work this morning.

It looks like the only things that you get with premium connectivity that you cannot get with a wifi hotspot are satellite view maps (you still get regular maps) and traffic updates. Don't care about the former and the latter isn't worth $10 a month by itself. Looks like this gives me an excuse...

I don't understand this thread at all. Even if you're a garbage person that doesn't care about the fact that the world is burning, why go out of your way to convince others of that fact? Why not just let them think that you don't suck?

Every time I'm on autopilot and a car way off in the distance makes a left turn that crosses my lane, my car slams on its brakes. While it's true that technically all drivers should drive 100% perfectly and assume that every car in front of you is going to brake check you, it's also true that...

Adding an outlet to my house cost me $260. The cost probably varies based on the area you live.

Maybe the car thinks that someone attempted to hack it.

15k miles, RWD mid-range, 5-6/32" left on tires, so I'm getting close to replacement time. I was debating replacing them now before winter weather starts happening but I think I'm going to take a gamble and wait until 2020. Here's hoping whatever I replace them with are a little less garbage...

Yeah, it's broken. Whenever I enable it, it doesn't summon my brother Joe. Not one time.

Yep. This is my single biggest complaint. How do you make a car drive itself but you can't make a camera turn on instantly? It's so bad that I've gotten into the habit of turning the camera on manually before I get to my destination so that it can slowly turn on and be on in time for parking.

Turn off walk away door lock. Problem solved. Or leave your passenger a keycard. Tell them if they want to leave the car, tap the center console first.

If you're worried about the longevity of your external storage, use a dashcam-rated micro SD card and a micro SD to USB adapter. Also, if you paid $180 for the Jeda USB hub, you got ripped off. Check the Jeda website.

Even lamer. Maybe if I send it back, they'll shoot it into space.

I thought the thing said they were going to launch my photo into space? They don't have a photo of me, so I'm not sure how they're going to do that. Also, why are they sending it to me if they're launching it into space?

Don't get your hopes up. I got the same email and I only made one referral, so the only prize I'm owed is the stupid space thing.
