well, It is not really a bug. If the phone was turned off, how is the car supposed to "know" someone was opening the car from inside and not outside? Also - why turn phone off? Esp with a Tesla. that is bizarre to me. There is "do not disturb" mode, which i always use when I'm sleeping. With...

thanks all! i didn't have PPF on the rear sensors, only the front ones. i went back and really cleaned the rear sensors and thoroughly washed the car and then the next day it was able to change lanes in Autopilot, no problem! I wonder if the cameras were dirty?

Today my Model 3 suddenly started refusing to change lanes while in Autopilot. When i make the signal, it shows the clear space, but just. refuses.to.go. It does it on NoA as well. I tried several times on both highway and regular roads..same thing. I rebooted, cleaned off the sensors a bit and...

wow, a timely thread as i was just about to post asking about a similar issue. i just started seeing this in past few days.i would say it was happening about 20% of the time. i thought it was due to software update. But then today, my car *refused* to change lanes in Autopilot, at all! even with...

haha, i love this!

i am completely puzzled by this issue that i have been having time and time again and cannot for the life of me find the issue, let alone the solution. In the Stats App (awesome app btw!!), under " Siri Shortcuts" i have created various shortcuts like "Open the frunk" and "Unlock doors". When I...

i was at the store for maybe 15 minutes when birds took few craps on one door of my poor Model 3. (i wasn't under a tree even, must have been a flyover). i noticed it immediately and then soon as i got home (10 minutes later) got a microfiber cloth soaked with some water & ONR to wipe it off...

Thanks. The issue is we go to visit my in-laws (not so much to sight-see) so would be using hotel mainly as a place for me to stay and charge the car overnight. I see there are places like Hotel Emma but is rather expensive - we don’t go there to sight- see. We never stay in hotels there and...

can i just say how excited i am for this - i was just complaining to my husband the other day how annoying it is that san antonio doesn't have a super charger. we make the drive down to SA from dallas several times a year and I have wanted to take Model3 but hubs was wary with no supercharger...

i must say, good points everyone and thx for talking me down.. it all gives me a lot of food for thought. :) thank u, i think this is what i get too. when there are 3-4 alerts that is a lot of video to sift through. i usually just review the front dashcam videos. what's funny is often times...

Yep, this is why i don't park under trees at work even though it's shady. Here in the South the pollen and sap from these is something else. My husband parked my old car once under a tree at his work and i sh!t you not (pun intended, ha), at the end of the day it was covered in sap and had like...

thanks all! this is all very helpful. today i am turning off Sentry Mode while i'm at work (that's about 9 hours right there) and see what effect it has. it is pretty safe here in general (unless someone is super negligent and gives me a door ding, but i try to park far away for the reason)...

thanks so much! i guess i will try tomorrow to turn off Cabin OVerheat protection (or turn it to fan only) and see how much it helps. but i do notice that when i'm driving around it eats the range too though, and i can't really turn AC off then. also, i will try to turn Sentry Mode off when i'm...

not typically. actually have been using Autopilot more and more. usually cannot accelarate fast most of the time i'm driving (rush hour traffic).

ok, the more i read, the more i am freaking out that my battery is just terrible. how are people getting so much range?? my car is brand new and i'm so disappointed to see how it's already so bad in comparison to everyone else (and it will only get worse apparently). with charging to 80%, i...

I have had my model3 SR+ for a bit over a week now. From my Stats app I see it only gets 74% efficiency. I’ve noticed this too just from driving around - every 6 miles I go, it eats 10 miles of range. And I do mostly city driving /stop and start traffic. I have been charging to 80% each night...

i just traded in my 3yo iPhone 7 for iPhone Xs a few days ago and am now really starting to regret it! :S Aside from being out $$$, connectivity with my Model 3 and Tesla server have become of a bit of a nightmare. You think things would be better with a newer phone, but alas, that is not the...

thank u so much! resetting the apple watch finally worked (at least for Stats app), after maybe 20 minutes of trying suggestions in FAQ (seems to be common issue, and tips were to restart iPhone, uninstall and reinstall app from iPhone, etc). i was following everything but just wasn't doing it...

ok, well i bought the Stats app, and that one doesn't work on my Apple Watch either! :confused: App works great on my phone, but then on the watch asks me to please launch the app on my Phone first. Which it already is. sigh.

thanks, good point! also my hubs reminded me, i paid close to $50k for this car, what's another $20 in the grand scheme of things? :D

Thanks! I did look at the Stats app and did look useful and was debating getting it. Though before paying $20 for another app I was first hoping to get the Remote Tesla app working since I already paid $10 for that. Kinda bummed now since the Stats app looks more what I was looking for (not...

i want to be able to open frunk/trunk with my Apple Watch, without having to get my iPhone out of my purse. so - I paid for the Remote Tesla app since i saw many recommended it. looks cool and appears to work well on my iPhone (Xs) . I downloaded the Remote Tesla app to my new Apple Watch...

LOL ,this made me laugh out loud! :) Indeed they do tend to dance and spin around, especially the farther away they are and if they are towards the back. i notice it does this typically when the car is stopped and/or the other surrounding cars are stopped or going slow (so more difficult to tell...

was the usb formatted correctly (FAT32), and did it have a folder in it called "TeslaCam"? similar thing happened to me , sentry mode incidents popped up, took usb out but then no video recorded, then realized the name of the folder was spelled wrong ("telsa" instead of "tesla" - oops). sentry...

huh. mine doesn't have that.

it blocks Gmail and other mail sites like yahoo (due to security concerns over potential incoming viruses etc). doesn't block things like facebook, youtube, etc. eta: you bring up a really good point though - perhaps i need to talk with IT here and point out the issue and see what can be done...

the Tesla app on my phone won't at all while connected to the Wi-Fi here at my workplace. It says there is no internet connection (says "check internet connection"). though everything else on my phone (chrome, etc) works fine. this has nothing to do with the car itself, as this happened before...

mine finished calibrating the same day. i want to say around 25 miles or something.

i just got my Model 3 SR+ yesterday so i'm learning a few things. i noticed there is no web browser, i am assuming because i just have the partial premium interior that does not include premium connectivity. question is now - is there a way for me to purchase premium connectivity? according to...

i updated in the other thread but i'll update here too - picked her up yesterday (6/28 - elon's birthday! :D) she is perfect.

And she's finally here - picked her up today, and she is perfect!!! :D

Lol I was thinking same thing...I work in engineer-land, most of us small and not taller than 5’8” . Im in TX (land of big vehicles) and many other moms warned me that a sedan was not good for older kids especially if they are into sports and need to schlep lots of equipment. Well My hubby is...

that is cool. though i personally really like how the Model 3 doesn't have a grille (i like the front of it way better than Model S or X). it just looks very "clean" to me, and very sporty. and screams "i'm different" (in a good way). i can see what you mean though, in one sense it looks like...

UPDATE - got a call yesterday from Tesla asking if i could pick up the car at the service center instead of at home..i was like hell yes! they said could be a bit of a wait (i think it's a new center - Plano), and i 'm like i'd be happy to wait however long! :) i am just glad everything went...

omg, i got a call this eveing from Tesla and they asked if i could pick up at local delivery center instead of at my house as usually planned - um, hell yes!!! they said there may be a slight wait but i was like i will be happy to wait however long!! lol i am just so happy and relieved..i had...

yeah my credit union wouldn't issue the check unless they got the Letter of Guarantee from Tesla on the titling. then they gave me the documents to sign . i am not sure how different it is from Texas, as mine has to be transported from CA so i am assuming i have to budget in more days for...

ok so for Texas delivery, how far ahead does payment have to clear before the car is transported? i have a delivery date of 6/28 and my credit union today sent the payment. i have signed the mvpa, my downpayment cleared, etc. my account still says 6/28 delivery but i'm getting anxious that it's...

wow so great folks are getting speedy deliveries!! my delivery is scheduled for Friday 6/28 and i'm on pins and needles. my downpayment has gone thru and i was given MVPA to sign but my credit union still has to put through the loan amount as they are waiting for some letter of guarantee from...

As someone who grew up in CA but now lives in TX, this is so true. I basically assume anyone on the road is packing. I never honk unless it’s to avoid an accident.

Getting my Model 3 delivered on Friday and want to get PPF/clearbra installed. Maybe ceramic coating as well, but PPF for sure (mainly want to protect against chipping, scratches etc). Any recommendations, especially in north Dallas area?

this is helpful...i read this elsewhere too - ceramic only protects against UV, chemicals etc and makes it easier to clean, ppf is for preventing scratches. i think i want to get both, if only one then PPF (i think i could just deal with washing it everyday). i'm looking into local places now to...

I got my MVPA pretty quickly (more than a week before delivery)- I was shocked In my case my credit union needed MVPA and also some document for title guarantee

thanks!! :) i am so excited!! i am also in collin county and i think i will be first in my neighborhood to get a tesla. they are still a bit rare it seems, depending on the area. my 9yo son (who is a tech geek, obsessed with cars, especially Tesla) is over.the.moon, to put it mildly....

i ordered 6/12, and then got delivery date 6/18 i think for 6/28 i chose Midnight Silver metallic, with white interior. full self driving (no other additional options) -i ordered online (i thnk that is only wayu u can order). i did test drive in Legacy West Plano - i financed thru credit union...

i was wondering that too. end of quarter plus the end of tax credit (before it halves again) - i'm sure it's pure madness right now. so will my car literally be coming off the truck in front my house?? (if so, that would be awesome and my 9yo would be flipping out (with glee)). i assumed...

Huh, i didn’t know that was an option. At the Plano legacy west showroom, both reps I talked to said car would be delivered to the house.

so i am expecting Model 3 delivery next Fri 6/28 - yay! i'm still kind of gobsmacked by this whole thing of getting a car delivered to my house. i'm curious, approx how long did it take to go thru the checklist and inspect everything was working ok before accepting? just want to be prepared...

ok an update - i talked to CUTX and got 2.09% for 36 months. excellent credit (>800). i may get even lower rate for setting up automatic payments. so i will just go with them. 36 months is shorter than i'd like but i will bite the bullet to save $$ . i'm shocked, i got my MVPA yesterday from...

so i finally got my loan approved and i ended up getting MVPA from Tesla which shocked me bc i'm still a week away from my delivery date. i put downpayment through ACH and now i just need to get loan amount through. wow, this is really happening!! :) i am just kind of paranoid about getting it...

ok i figured it out. after getting loan approval i finally entered my loan info on my tesla acount and hit submit, and then now when view source code and search for "5Y" the vin shows up! yay!!
