    Does your glovebox look like this (M3)

    I think sometimes people have to high of expectations on purchases. I owned a BMW X3 that cost more than this car, and it had just as many tiny issues as my model 3 (and I'm pretty sure it has a slightly ascue glove box as well). If you pay half a mil or more for a vehicle, then maybe expect...

    Navigation update 2020.12 is out!

    Incase I missed someone else saying it. My LR+ has HW3 and only maps version 2019.20, but it still seems all the street lights, stop signs, turning lanes etc. In visualization. So it's definitely not only included in the 2020 maps. (Car just updated to 2020.8.3 last night). Haven't done a hard...

    Supercharger cable stuck

    I have a note 8. There are plenty of times my phone "connects" to my car while I'm walking around in the house (incidentally, this also triggers spotify to pop up in notifications). But the car will not unlock. I've never tried removing the charger under these situations, but I have had the...

    Navigation System

    Gah... yeah, how did I screw that up. Maybe I shouldn't be posting at 3am half asleep. /facepalm Sorry about the misinformation.

    Navigation System

    To see multiple routes, I'd suggest using google maps to plan your trip, choose the appropriate path you want, then share it with the car directly. This obviously doesn't help if your going long distances through the SC network, but its pretty good at routing you (even the lower interior spec...

    Range Anxiety how close do you cut it - and have you been bit?

    Also, as SammichLover said, use plugshare (and there might be others as well, depending on your area). Use it to see what alternate charging stations are available, and get ALL charging system apps necessary (so far I've used chargepoint and flo). A lot of these are actually free, but require an...

    Range Anxiety how close do you cut it - and have you been bit?

    If you set your destination while sitting at a SC, it will automatically let you know when you have enough range + buffer to safely make it there. But that buffer for me has only been about 10-15%, and depending on the terrain, weather conditions etc., I've found it feels safer to manually wait...

    Range Anxiety how close do you cut it - and have you been bit?

    There's apparently 2 different L2 charging areas, but both are in the Downtown(?) Part of drumheller, which is not a quick walk away from the museum. And we were already running very late to a friends that day. So we just went straight thru. I was actually quite shocked they wouldn't have had...

    Are cops lenient on Model 3s?

    That kinda looks like you stopped a bit after the sign. 100% a full stop, but maybe he was referring more to where you stopped, not that you did stop. The video almost makes it look like you stopped a little past the sign. If this is the case though, we are talking SUPER nitpicky cop right there.

    Saw this thread and decided to check what/if my car was doing any uploading/downloading... ...why for it sending sooo much data to amazon of all places???

    Range Anxiety how close do you cut it - and have you been bit?

    I did a road trip this summer from vancouver, bc to edmonton, ab. On the way back, decided to take a detour and show kids the dinosaur museum in drumheller. Didn't sit long enough at the SC in Red Deer, and rolled into the north Calgary SC with a whopping 7km range left. And I drove most of the...

    Model 3 headrest

    I've done a 10hr + 4hr x2 road trip with my seat and lumbar set how I like (this includes having my head able to comfortably rest on the head restraint) and have had zero issues. I think the main issue is having your seat in a position to have muscles strained for any length of time that is...

    Reduces the heat in the car, as well as cuts down glare from the sun, and just makes kids in the back more friendly...

    Uh... that's not what the website says. Default/included is the multi coat pearl white... @OP: the car looks sic. The color match works so well with the white.

    Adapter issues

    It's all in how you use them. Just did a trip to Edmonton from Maple Ridge. Started at home with a full charge, ended in Edmonton with 50%. Hit every supercharger on the way up, and it cost me about $66 one way. And that was a little over 1100km. My previous 2 vehicles (2015 pilot and then a...

    Car is flicking the lights on/off...

    Last night I didn't even look, as I was also helping my son out with something. Came back and looked again. Most definitely sentry related. I'm reviewing the videos now... Edit: Tried uploading an image, but was a no go. Sentry recorded 104 events... Edit 2: Checked the videos. And nothing...

    Car is flicking the lights on/off...

    So my car is charging in my driveway as normal. I'm using the basic 120V 15A charger that came with the car. Except tonight, for some reason, its just started flicking the headlights on/off quickly every minute or 2. I only noticed it cause I thought I heard a noise outside, and checked my...

    Dashcam and saved videos

    All cameras are active all the time (meaning the dashcam and the 2 side cams). Sentry mode saves 10min of video, and if you click the camera icon, it saves the last 30min (i think). As I posted in another thread, everyone who owns a Tesla needs a teslacam/sentry reviewer app on their phone and...

    MASTER THREAD: USB drives that work with Sentry and TeslaCam

    I'm on 24.4 and I just recently realized I had a 128gb microSD sitting around basically collecting dust. I used Fat32 and made 2 partitions. 30gb for dashcam, and the rest for music and (hopefully in the future) movies for those long ferry lineups etc. Its in a cheapy usb 2.0 adapter. Plugged...

    SR+ Access To Rear Heated Seats

    On Android, you go into climate controls, and then have to turn it on for the heated seat controls to become available. If your car had rear heated seats, you'll see them available here. You can see in the attached, if the controls are off, you don't see them. If the controls are on, you do.

    2019.24.4 & Auto Pilot (not good)

    Personally, I use AP as much as I can, on residential roads, city driving, everywhere I can get the opportunity. And it flubs here and there. But I was under the impression (and I could be absolutely 100% wrong here) that they take all the data from driving with AP into account, for tracking of...

    2019.24.4 & Auto Pilot (not good)

    I wasn't sure where it drove into oncoming traffic in the turns. There was the first one early on, which was actually a turning lane it turned into, and the only other ones it failed on sharp turns, which its not really rated for... All I saw was someone pushing it further than it is intended...

    Best wireless charger?

    Wondering if these will work with larger phones (I have a note 8). With my slim case on, I get just enough clearance to lay my phone down on the dock area. With that massive chin on the taptes charger, i fear my phone will only charge sideways, which is not good, as the whole point is I can put...

    *Coolness* Anybody else pre-conditioning the cabin to stay cool?

    I guess it depends on what you're plugged into then, as per this. I should have stated that I was conditioning at home, where I haven't had my nema 14-50 installed yet. And while I didn't notice a drop in range, the charging speed dropped to 0km/hrs and the remaining time went from 20min? To...

    *Coolness* Anybody else pre-conditioning the cabin to stay cool?

    Charging shuts off when you cool the car (or it did in my car when I was actually checking the other day). And the car actually tells you how hot the inside is in the app (on the remote AC controls). The AC uses very little power. I had it on and keeping the kids cool in the car for well over...

    2019.15.104.1 -> 2019.24.4

    It just takes time before it hits your car. There's no set schedule from what I gather and have read. I think it has something to do with only pushing the update out to a small batch at a time, and it's not as fast as the delivery rate. But that's just purely my speculation.

    Navigation and Sound Model 3 Canada

    Let me guess... you got an SR+? That comes with the partial premium interior. Which doesnt include real time traffic info, or streaming media. And it only shows you the quickest route (that I know of anyways) based on your choices for navigation in the car menu. It DOES take into account...

    *Coolness* Anybody else pre-conditioning the cabin to stay cool?

    Its been much warmer laterly outside, and I'm finding the preconditioning is absolutely FANTASTIC. It even does a awesome job of cooling down the seats, which do seem to heat up in the sun super fast. I bet with the heatwave going across the US, my neighbours to the south are loving the feature...

    Vancouver, Canada here, and just finished updating my 3 that I've had for 3? weeks... First thing I did was check my heated seats. STILL have rear heated. Crazy times. I think I had been sitting on 2019.15.106 or something. Definitely none of the more recent builds. Can't wait to see what all...

    Free Supercharging Miles Dissappeared

    BC no longer qualifies for the free supercharging rewards (not sure when they removed our eligibility). So its POSSIBLE that the system removed them automatically. I would get in touch with Tesla and see whats going on. I bought my Tesla a few weeks ago, and I had to get an email from Tesla to...

    T3 Unlocked after charging

    I would do a hard reboot of the car, and then test to see if this is still happening. ALL that should be happening when you are fully charged is you're notified on your phone through the app. If the car is unlocking upon full charge, there is something wrong and needs to be addressed. Soft...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    It looks like something hit the top of the windshield. So don't think it's a Manu defect from either car or windshield. I would ask them to look and make sure there's no scratch damage in that spot on the car, otherwise it should be fine. That's what I'd do at least.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Tip to anyone still waiting for your car delivery, and trying to get all your ducks in a row. I wasn't told this beforehand by anyone, but Tesla rotates their VINs... so on delivery day, they might swap VIN's around to make sure people get into their color and spec quicker. I had my insurance...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Odd. When I ordered my car, I ordered the blue color, and the upgraded 19" rims, and still got the 8k rebate. I was told it was based on the base you ordered. aka ANY SR+ got the 8k rebate (Federal and Provincial), the LR AWD and Performance got only the 5k (Provincial). If you haven't already...

    Sr+ Rear Heated Seats?

    I got my SR+ a few days ago, and the person doing my walkthrough/tutorial specifically mentioned that I had them enabled, but they would become disabled at some point in the near future. I hope they add an "upgrade" price to enable them down the road. It gets cold for at least a few months up...

    Paint chips on hood after 2,000 miles?

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room
