    Winter Road Trip: SoCal to Utah

    Thanks for your post! Looks like a great trip to an area that I love. I am encouraged by your good experience with cold temps and snow!

    Anyone else dislike the new UI?

    For the first time I can say that I hate a Tesla update. I cannot see any reason for making the visualization area larger which reduces the map size and the image size for the back-up camera. The speed is now smaller and it is very difficult to see what "gear" the car is in; P, N, R. The font is...

    Software update 2020.48.26.x update, font size problems

    Seems like many of us are in the same situation. My wife is always asking: "What time is it?" and "What is the temperature." She is also over 65 and can't see this information because it is too small on the display. There is plenty of room to increase the font size!

    Software update 2020.48.26.x update, font size problems

    I have complained and tweeted about the need to be able to increase the font size, so far without any luck or response. Those designing the user interface are likely younger and likely have much better vision than older Tesla drivers, like myself. My guess is that at some point Elon will have a...

    Let's see.... Giga Berlin = $4.4 billion, Giga Texas = $5 billion. A billion her and a billion there and I can see how it is easy to go through money fast!

    Pretty amazing! Would love to see in real time.

    I get it now.....

    GREAT IDEA! Do you know if they rotate tires?
  9. Hankmancini

    I get it now.....

    Yes, to one of the comments above. Red is the "best" color. Have had my Model 3 for 16 months. Total service cost $42. $30 for rotate and balance and two bottles of windshield washer fluid for $12. My car was (is) perfection. Trim, paint, body panel alignment perfect. Not a single quality issue...

    2019.40.50 Release Notes

    Laughing! Eyesight 20-20 at over 5' I wear glasses for reading and using a computer. I have joked that in a few years, as Elon Musk's close-up vision declines, he will probably realize that the text on a Tesla screen is just a little too small to be read easily. Once that happens there will be...

    2019.40.50 Release Notes

    Anxious to get this update. We keep my wife's handicap placard in the glove box and being able to open it by voice will be great! Also setting the temperature. We have Amazon's Echo Auto and use it's voice commands extensively: "Alexa, what time is it?" because the time on the display is too small!

    Cannot clean Model 3 windows for the life of me.

    A neighbor who works at Boeing recommend a Norwex microfiber window polishing cloth. She said it is what Boeing uses to clean 787 windshields. Bought one from Amazon and confirm that it works great. For the inside i only use water. For the outside i use it with glass cleaner.

    MASTER THREAD: 2019.36.2.1 - new HOLD mode and other features

    Our Model 3 just keeps getting better and better! Love the new Hold feature. Drove around after the "36" update and only had to use the break peddle once. (Wonder if break pads will ever need replacement?)

    Supercharger - San Diego CA - A Street (LIVE 27 Jun 2018, 16 Urban type)

    4th Supercharger visited. Woo hoo! Added 100 miles in about 20 minutes. $7 for charging and $5 for parking. No complaints except missed entrance and had to drive around block. Would be helpful to have Tesla logo that can be seen from the street.

    Anyone Else Need to Push Up Gear Lever 2-3 Times To Get To Reverse??

    Our 3 is 7 months old and we love it! Have always had to push stalk up twice for reverse. Figured second time was a safety feature too confirm you actually wanted to back up. That makes sense.

    Software wishlist

    Yes!! Mr. Musk, and GUI developers, are likely younger than many Tesla drivers (like me) and can read the small text that some of us cannot see. There is ample room in the display to increase the font size. Please consider this request!

    Blog Report: Tesla Employees Pressured to Take Shortcuts to Meet Production Goals

    Love my model 3! A little over five months and not a single issue. And, it's truly a beautiful car!

    Starting to regret my purchase

    Sorry to hear about your problems! 5 months and zero issues. Paint (red) is just beautiful. Never had to try to reach service.

    Supercharger - Westminster, CA (LIVE 22 Dec 2018, 24 Urban stalls)

    I love a few miles away so will not likely use this location, but drive by often. There is now a sign for "Wash and Charge!" Will stop by and get more details .

    Delivery Experience was...

    My wife and I took delivery of our Model 3 on March 22nd. It was truly amazing. Besides checking out our car, doing the minimal documentation, and getting oriented, we drove away to the entire Tesla Costs Mesa team cheering, clapping, and honking horns. It was awesome. Our Model 3, which has 4K...

    improved phone key reliability on 2019.24.4 (maybe)

    I have an LG-G6 on Android 8. It seems like since updating to 2019.24 my phone key function is more reliable.

    How much battery does A/C use with "keep climate on"?

    The time we left climate control on for 3 hours was when we went to a movie and had to park in the sun. It was great to get back to our cool and comfortable Model 3!

    How much battery does A/C use with "keep climate on"?

    My wife and I keep climate control on when we leave our model 3 parked in the Sun almost daily with the temperature set to 73F. Durations have been as short as 15 minutes and as long a 3 hours. The outside temperature here in OC, CA is typically in the mid 80's. We seem to use 4 to 5 miles of...

    Bluetooth woes

    I continue to have problems using my LG G6 phone as a key for my Model 3. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. I am on Oreo and waiting for Pie. If that does not fix the problem, I will likely try a Samsung. My wife's iPhone 6 works 100% of the time, but I much prefer the openness of my...

    Blog Report: Tesla Employees Pressured to Take Shortcuts to Meet Production Goals

    Got my Model 3 on March 22nd 2019. Zero issues so far at 3,500 miles. Love it! Had 3 Lexus in past ES300, LS400 and ES330. My Model 3 is superior in every way and say more fun to drive!

    Tesla Releases Q2 Safety Report, Adds Vehicle Fire Stats

    Our middle son's Jeep burst into flames spontaneously while parked in the driveway. Our office manager's T-bird did the same parked at work one day. My perspective is that it is not unusual for gasoline powered cars to catch fire! My Model 3 sensed me possibly rear- ending the car in front of...

    Help improve Tesla interface - ideas, feature requests, bug reports

    Love my Model 3! Being a "senior citizen," my vision is likely not nearly as good as the engineers that developed the beautiful center display for the Model 3. I only need glasses to see things well closer than about three feet. (a condition shared by many over 50!). The size of text on the...

    Bluetooth woes

    Continuing problems with my Android LG-G6 phone. I have had my Model 3 for 3 months. Absolutely love my Tesla. Love the IDEA of the phone key, but hate that it fails daily. My solution is to turn on airplane mode then turn it off EVERY TIME I head to my car. This works, but is frustrating...

    Tips for getting used to single peddle driving/regenerative braking

    1600 miles now, but got used to regen breaking 1st day. Now hate to drive our other ice car. Love hold feature too. Have owned 3 Lexus ES and our Model 3 is best car yet!
