I have a Model 3 and the Modern Spare for it. The rolling diameter is 26.5. The lug pattern for the Model Y MS is identical, but the rolling diameter is 27.7". So the wheel will fit but the overall diameter is 1.2" less for the Model 3 version that the Model Y. That means the difference in...

Many of the things you mention reaching for are available via voice commands.

If auto unlock is off, you can also unlock by just tapping the button on the right stalk. So, tap once for PARK, tap a second time to unlock. A little slicker than reaching for screen since your hand is right at the stalk already.

Yes, that was an unfortunate deletion. Just attach your remote to the back of the lower left corner of the display. I used those 3M tape connectors used for electronic toll systems (EZ Pass, etc.) so I can easily remove and reattach it to change batteries. Works perfectly, is out of site, and...

Traffic Aware Cruise Control. Tap down on right stalk to turn it on. Adjust max speed with right scroll button.

Why not just engage TACC? Great for stop and go traffic and will keep your max speed where you want it.

I agree in principle, but in reality there is NO incentive for insurance companies to do this. Quite the opposite. Such lies are in favor of the insurance company so the company would likely look at them as attempts to save insurer money. Why would they punish them?

For long trips off the beaten path I carry a Modern Spare. It is big (full size diamter) but incuding the well in the trunk I can still fit 3 carry on bags plus some smaller items like a small gym bag, tote bags, etc. There are no special Tesla tires. Mine are Michelins. The foam is a tire...

No problem here. When my M3 is home our other car operates the door just fine. Our daughter's car works it too when she visits. It's a liftmaster/chamberlain system.

FYI, there are other model cars with frameless doors that crack the windows automatically when opening a door (Ford Mustang for one).

The car only unlocks on Park if you have it set that way. We've changed our setting so it doesn't. Then if you Park, it stays locked. If you want to unlock to let someone in, just tap Park button a 2nd time.

Same issue here. Auto HB used to stay on. Now I have to manually initiate high beams (no Auto HB icon on screen and they don't come on by themselves) to get the Auto HB feature to work for that particular drive. Not a profile issue as I've checked that all profiles have Auto HB selected...

Ours was in an accident 1 month and 1 day after getting it. Put in body shop in Gaithersburg, MD July 24th. Initial estimate received Aug 8th. All parts received and repairs started Sep 11th. Picked up Oct 7th. So parts are still a problem (~61 days), but not like last year. I think given...

Nice. Where did you get it and does it in fact work? Please report on how effective it is. Thanks

I'm in line at Kenwood too since late July. Communicated with them this week to get status. They said they are still waiting on parts. They specifically mentioned they have had a car since May and are still waiting on parts for it. So it appears you are first in line for parts/repair. I'm fourth...

I got the Modern Spare. One other nice factor is that it is not a small spare. It is the same diameter (though not as wide) as a standard tire. So car will sit level and can travel up to 80 MPH. Takes up room in trunk, but saw some posts of folks who strap it up to the top of the trunk by...

Key data point is cabin temperature, not outside temp. At 85° cabin can easily exceed 105° and if overheat protection is on, AC would turn on.

TVAD, Where on Michelin site did you find statement that sealant repairs won't work with acoustic technology. They clearly state use of sealants voids warranty, but I can't find where it says it won't work.

No need to cobble together PDF. Go to your online account. There's a link to one there in the manage, details section.

Yes, I too was disappointed when Ipicked my M3 up last week and found Homelink missing. My inexpensive solution was to mount my door opener with some 3M dual lock easy tape to the lower left corner on the back of my display. Same effort as a tap of the screen.

Have used both parallel and perpendicular parking and both worked fine, though as others have noted, it's on the slow side. Had one instance where it couldn't perpendicular park when my wife was trying out the feature for the first time. That may have been a quirk of the conditions as the...

Hmm. Turned off Climate on, but still no download. I'll give it 'til Monday then call my local SC to see if my situation warrants a firmware push from them.

What I did, at the suggestion of another TM3 owner, was to attach my garage opener to the back, lower left corner of my display. It's out of site and me or my wife can easily reach under the display and tap the button. Works like a charm and cost me nothing. You could use double stick tape...

The hardware is in the Tesla Shop under Model 3 accessories. $300.

Just got my Model 3 so am not familiar with the update process. Was wondering what the latest software version should be if I just have the 'standard' software update option selected? Picked my car up on the 18th and it has v2019.15.103. I believe if I check 'advanced' I'd get them more...

Great solution! Think I'll try that. Thanks for posting it.

Incredibly, Tesla no longer includes Homelink in the Model 3 even if you get the premium package. I ordered a TM3 LR AWD on June 9th and picked it up yesterday. No Homelink button. After chatting with Tesla online I was informed that after May 30th, Homelink was no longer included in the...
