    Trade-in Odometer Disclosure Asked to Leave Blank?

    At the very least, demand that you receive a copy of the document AFTER mileage is put in, and signed by Tesla reps, and keep a picture of the odometer on drop-off. I know that’s not an option now, but for anyone else out there…

    Music skipping a lot

    Lately there has been an increasing amount of skipping in my music. The timer stops when the audio stops, then moments to seconds later, the timer and audio begin again, as if it had merely been muted. Would this be likely to be a read-speed error, or quantum shenanigans eating hold in my data...

    Creaking sound from left front suspension

    Good news! The creak going away got me out of paying anything. The techs checked tires, etc for free, and the UCA they said nothing looked wrong. Sent me on my way.

    Creaking sound from left front suspension

    Ugh. I set up an appointment and when I pull out of the driveway to go to the appointment, it stops creaking entirely. Hopefully there’s some evidence left behind of the grinding in the joint, otherwise that’s a waste of $90.

    Creaking sound from left front suspension

    As the great Douglas Adams said: “The major problem— ... *one* of the major problems, for there are several— ... one of the *many* major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. “To summarize: it is a...

    Unknown clip fell out of Frunk

    Took the upper plastic piece off that was covering the washer fluid, etc., and there was an easy empty spot. I guess they must have taken it off last time I had it serviced...? Weird that it was in a place that it fell out of the car entirely when I opened the frunk. Thank you!

    Unknown clip fell out of Frunk

    I was loading the car up before coming home, and when I lifted the frunk, this clip fell out and onto the ground (as if it were already loose, on the frunk's edge). I couldn't find an identical one anywhere, and it doesn't look like it fits anywhere, particularly. I thought I would ask here...

    Data Charges?

    So I "preordered" on Day One of preordering, but that doesn't mean anything, I suspect. I officially have SR, but they upgraded me to an SR+ car with an SR software package, after the whole "we're not doing cloth seats" thing (I was one of those 70-some-odd people who actually wanted it, and...

    Data Charges?

    That's ... ominous. So basically, I SHOULD have had all of these features from the beginning, as well, and they just added streaming audio now...? And I will get billed, probably, someday...

    Would you still have bought your model 3 if it never had autopilot?

    I have no Autopilot, and never wanted to spend the extra cash. Still a great car.

    Data Charges?

    I'm fairly new to this. I was told I would have "a year of data," including streaming audio, maps, and other apps from Tesla. What happens after that point? Is there a monthly bill for data charges, or something?

    Software Update Not Downloading

    FIXED: I just went through this. I entered the password for my home WiFi, to which it would not automatically connect, rather suddenly. It then showed the "waiting" symbol indefinitely, until it timed out. When I hit the WiFi again, it made me enter the password again, and cycled through this...

    Soft rumbling from interior fan

    I’m getting a grumbling sound (like a distant helicopter) when the interior climate control fan is on. Anyone else have this issue / know whether I should get service?

    X hit by 17 year old kid who just got his license, what now?

    Pulled out blind, moving the wrong direction, trying to pull a U-ey...? Or crossing traffic...? Wow. That's just all sorts of bad ideas. Sorry that this is happening.

    Sudden Rated Range Drop

    Still shows ~218 when charged completely (Daily), and will max out higher, but I don't let it get above the 90%, or whatever it is. This week, I went ~140 miles, when the battery estimate showed I should have gone ~170. We had a small bit of A/C weather this week, so that's probably where the...

    iPhone App Version 3.9.1 issues w/ iOS 12.4.1 update?

    As a few people said, concerning a different thread, it worked just fine after I deleted the app and reinstalled it, but I had a couple of days where I couldn't even enter the app; it would CtD without getting past the Tesla logo (so no logging out & in again). Will this happen just about every...

    Sudden Rated Range Drop

    I got mine at the beginning of May, and received the following email on 7 June: Your Model 3 will soon receive new software that matches the Model 3 Standard Range configuration you ordered. As we communicated in April, this includes a limited range of 220 miles, and the removal of several...

    How to get people so street race you...?

    I only have the basic of the basic package, so racing performance cars is out. I will stomp occasionally and get the car up to my usual cruising speed, around town, though (5-10 over, depending on where), which is fun, even in Chill mode, because it takes most people by surprise. And having...

    Hard Drive Issues with Dashcam (X Icon)

    I tapped on the icon, and it switched from Recording (red dot) to Downloading (Inbox-looking icon). After a few seconds, it went back to recording. From there, I switched music off of the drive in question, and held the record button until it turned off (gray). I only waited a few seconds before...

    Reverse Camera

    Same thing in the S loaner I had. Never seen it in the (much smaller) 3. Thank you for the tip.

    Charge Port Door Closing Too Quickly?

    My problem (such as it is) is that the ChargePoint system I use at work (for FREE! I mean, I'm only saving about $5/wk, but it's something) will allow you to unhook immediately by pressing the button on the handle, but the adapter is still inserted, and still locked. I then have to go into the...

    Model 3, 20190405

    Hi, everyone. I'm Andrew from Maryland, USA. I got a Model 3 this Spring after some... difficulties. No big deal, but some frustrations (I will probably share in the Model 3 "Ordering, etc." forum). I found you all when I was trying to figure out how to play music and have a drive for the...

    Error Power Conversion system. Seek service.

    I sent Tesla a request through the app when the warning came up, and one of the local guys called around noon, saying that I should come in to my service center immediately. No problems getting there or anything, and they set me up with a Model S 70D for the night / weekend, however long it...

    Charge Port Door Closing Too Quickly?

    The door software assumes that you are using the proprietary Tesla charger, rather than using the adapter, I think. I just unlock the adapter via the app, then pull out the charger + adapter, and then disengage the adapter from the charger. Could save potential servo unhappiness later.

    Error Power Conversion system. Seek service.

    Just got this, too. I’m slightly less paranoid, now that I’ve read this thread.

    Hard Drive Issues with Dashcam (X Icon)

    I keep yanking the drive out, though, so make sure you have ejected it properly. Anyone know how to do that...? :p

    Confused - does current SR+ stereo read/play USB music?

    I have the exact opposite problem as several of you. I started with only a music folder in root, and then just added the TeslaCam folder to root, and my music is no longer accessible. I guess I will partition... «sigh»
