    Model 3: Rattling rear deck

    I think mines is doing the same as due to clearance between the trunk and where it rests when closed. There are two little rubber screw in dampers, one each side. I increased height of them which hped

    12V battery replacement [by tesla mobile service]

    Funnily enough I have a 2019 with about 14K on it and 3 weeks ago I got the scary message. It was under warranty so mobile service came out and replaced it. Then just two days ago my better half's, which is older 2018 popped up same message but she has like 77K on it so out of warranty but for...

    UGH - The smell of it. [AC Smell]

    My wife has early 2018 and still has this smell, never been to tesla for it but had changed filters, cleaned with the foamy stuff etc, but always appears back, seemingly at random. I have 2019 and never had the smelll.

    "Deep Rain" improvements [post about auto wipers]

    I'm pretty sure that the software was updated some time ago to 'recognize' carwash. Both my wife and i have 3's and have not had to disable auto for well over a year. Recently, after an LA trip, car was pretty boggin, and even though it was very lightly raining (on and off) i took to car wash...

    Hack to keep autopilot engaged

    Technicay this is not really a hack, its intended as the point is to ensure you are paying attention (somewhat!) And any change may be seen as valid.

    Is my horn working normal?

    Yea, that's not normal. You shouldn't even here the clicking as you press.

    Tesla Ring.. Which one?

    Because walk away works with the phone connection, it does not know anything about the rfid in your ring unless you present it to the console sensor or door pillar

    Tesla Ring.. Which one?

    I've got one from Amazon (wife got it for me so don't know details) bur works great... However, be mindful that ifv your used to using walk away lock, and you use the ring the car won't then lock when you walk away

    Any owners of Galaxy S20 FE 5G/Phone key reliability?

    I second checking the battery opt. As that was my issue (on my galaxy s10), the same thing was causing podcasts to seemingly randomly stop but was actually the phone putting the background apps to sleep.

    Wish I had dual visors

    I grew up driving in uk, now in US for last 20 and never heard of, or saw vehicle with that out of box. I'm sure you can nip to your local auto store and find replacement visors of all shapes and sizes that you can easily attache though. Edit: driving school cars excepted as they added after fact

    Gauging interest in a free tesla stats desktop dashboard

    I don't want to dump on this as i b think it's great, however teslamate on linux (i installed in rpi) can do a lot of similar sruff and is open source. I bave it connectwd to my Home Assistant and Smart Mirror using this. You also get bunch of dashboards wirh the charting from grafana, also free

    Ruined my brand new M3 dash

    I did that exact same thing to wifes car. It did eventually go away, however did persist for a few months. I had resigned to ot being there, so hopefully after some time yours will also sort itself! I would NOT recommened trying to remove it.

    My 2018 LR RWD M3 needs new tires and service - Keep it or Trade?

    Maybe i just read it wrong, but to clarify.. your trying to decide if your car is a total write off or not because it needs new tires? How often did you change your ice car when it ran out of fuel?

    Browser title in media display

    This may be intended behavior, could also be either issue with Samsung bt,or the car. Either way seems strange to display a browser tab from Chrome list. This was few days ago, on 2020.32.3 but i saw about 3 months ago but didn't get pic so left it. Anyone saw this or know if it's intended...

    Trip LA <-> Yosemite

    We drive from SF to LA abd recently a day trip to Groveland just outside. I don't think you'd have an issue, however, I'm pretty sure unless you've already booked, don't just turn up as there's a waiting list.

    Any unauthorized person can use the car during charging?

    As others have noted, probably need to enable walk away. Also how far is very far really depends on environment. If course this is all anecdotal, not entirely evidence based.... I'm a listener :) welcome.

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

    At work so skipped couple pages of posts... Anyhow, I had read about this happening and so I moved the sensor up a few inches so that the lowest part of the car would always block it if partially in garage. This triggers the safety in the even another door event happens (since most openers are...

    MASTER THREAD: 2019.40.50.x - Driving Visualization improvements, new voice commands, Camping Mode

I've never noticed any re-calibration and the ping/ponging is still there. I never had this before the recent updates (50.x I think). I tend to have my left...

    Foam inside tire to reduce noise

    Wife recently had to get new tires. Done some research on wether the foam made any different and based on they few (non scientific) studies by various you-tubers, seemed to suggest it didn't make any real difference. We opted for the ones without and she reckons, one her daily commute, can't...

    Tesla improves Model 3's Interior Cabin Noise

    I have early Jun model and the hole is covered with material but still fair amount of noise that I would say seems to be around doors, as far as I can tell. Assuming by subwoofer pass through you meant that whole in shelf at back?

    Problems with Auto Lane change in 32.12.2

    Adding my experience since as many are keen to point out when things are wonk 'it's beta....'.

Recently however, the car tends to slowly oscillate between lane marking which can...

    Tesla V10 bug: Dog Mode disabled after Smart Summon completed

    Whilst i agree that the op was careless, this does not mean there is not an issue. 'Used as intended' cannot be wielded to stop your feelings being hurt. There are many features, called safety, that prevent stupid things being done but we still expect them to err on side of safety. Eg. You...

    will the Model S or X seats fit in a Model 3?

    You didn't buy a model 3 because the seats from a different car do not fit? Is that correct? I've read some wacky stuff on these forums but that's up there!

    Emergency Powerwall Mode

    Just to give you some perspective.. 1 power + installation + hardware in SF Bay Area will set you back about $8000 and the are no incentives at mo. .. so no, i can't just get a powerwall.

    Traffic info not shown in the navigation display [Update; problem solved]

    I don't know where it gets it's data, but yes, wife complains about all the roads around her appearing to be congested when there is almost no traffic to speak of. It's as though it's not filtering stops/traffic lights properly and treating them like little mini backups.

    Traffic info not shown in the navigation display [Update; problem solved]

    If you have premium connectivity (i.e early premium interior) then you see lots of little red lines on roads, indicating the traffic and you also get satellite view. If you don't have this, like me (wife does as she got M3 when is was a simpler world), then you do not see the live traffic...

    Is my AP in SR+ trying to kill me

    Both my wife and I have M3 and it does have it's issues but what your experiencing sounds like sensor/HW issue possibly but I would think that the cars self diagnosis would catch stuff like that. As others have said, make sure AP is really on. I know for sure myself have in past had it turn off...

    Traffic light recognized.

    The stop light (traffic lights, not a stop sign) detection thing has been in there since late V9 for sure. I tested it out myself late at night one time, not braking on local road and it flashed the big red 'Take the Wheel for the Wee Mans Sake' warning etc, and a small set of traffic lights...
