    Rust - from the metal flakes in the paint?

    If the "Gentleman" was correct about the steel metal flakes, it still requires oxygen and moisture to cause rust. Sounds like someone making stuff up on the fly.

    Bluetooth Impersonation AttackS (BIAS)

    Looking into this further, this vulnerability may allow someone to connect to your car, but that does not make it authenticated. The connected device must be logged in to your Tesla account and remain logged in. Additionally during authentication you must tap your key card to complete...

    Bluetooth Impersonation AttackS (BIAS)

    If you are really concerned you could turn Bluetooth off and use the keycard, then there would be no vulnerability.

    How is your white interior doing?

    Not true at all, I live in Levis. After 16000 miles I have had to clean them a couple of times to remove the little bit of blue, but it comes off easily. I use Sonax Alcantara cleaner. I know there are many threads on cleaning the white seats, but this is what I used. I did put the ceramic on...

    How is your white interior doing?

    Mine is holding up great, 16000 miles since August 2019. But I don't have kids, just Grand kids and they only ride in the car occasionally. and they are not allowed food or drink. So, My results may not be your results, but hey are easy to clean.

    How is charging 100% really hurt the battery?

    This video explains how battery degradation happens, probably in too much detail.

    2020.4 Anything New?

    The only install on Teslafi so far is shown as being in Texas - China. Did Texas move east?

    Samsung phone issues

    I have had no problems with my S9+ as a key, but if you need a hardware key you always have the key card. that will always work, just like an old fashioned key.

    Samsung phone issues

    I have an S9+ and have no issues, always use phone as key.

    Had a trip to Seattle last Thursday/Friday stopped both directions. Great pace to relax and get coffee while you charge. Never did like Ellensburg but I can't imagine ever charging there now. Thanks Lacey

    very high mobile phone battery drain on Android: Tesla app using 49%

    My S9+ shows no unusual battery drain from the tesla app. I have the 2019.36 update.
  18. Ken's M3

    Would Tesla schedule service without me requesting it?

    I'd check your Tesla app, service appointments will show there. If it doesn't show up I would suspect as scam of some sort. I have not had Tesla service contact me using email, it's normally text.

    Model 3 Am Radio

    The Interstate Hy-way system uses AM for traveler alerts as do the National Parks. As far as I know there is no simulcast for any of these and sometimes they are very important.

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

    No, The OP said ".....and Tesla only had the typical auto emergency braking, lane keep assist, etc. that other manufacturers have" TACC and auto steer are what my Honda had, nothing more. In fact the Honda Lane Keeping Assist was in some ways better.
  21. Ken's M3

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

    Not only would I, but I did. LR AWD with only TACC and auto steer. Did not see a need to spend an additional $6k.

    Initiative 976

    I would like every one to remember the state extends beyond the Puget Sound. I-976 eliminates funding for things not involved in Puget Sound mass transit. Like all of Eyman's initiatives it applies a simple solution to a complex problem. We on the East side did not vote on the light rail...

    Sorry, just re-read that thread and it is about the same status as North Bend.

    No indication of that in the Spokane thread, where is it?

    Supercharger - Auburn, WA

    Don't know why it would be Spokane or Enumclaw, neither of which have started, North Bend has a permit and work has started. Was expecting that with Auburn complete they would get back to work on it.

    Supercharger - North Bend, WA

    Drove by this morning, still no progress. Did not see any equipment or stalls waiting to be installed.

    Initiative 976

    Fixing the problem is important, but as usual timmy's solution to a very complicated problem is brute force blunt object approach. The problems created are much worse, there are a lot of things funded other than Puget sound mass transit.

    Supercharger - Auburn, WA

    This would be a perfect location for my frequent trips from Tri-Cities to Shelton area, no side trips to Centralia. Why does this not show up as a coming location on the Tesla map?

    XPEL Stealth Washing/Care

    Forgot to mention, the ceramic window tint is really effective in reducing heat inside the car. I live in Eastern Washington, (no not the rainy part) mostly desert here with intense sun. With the ceramic tint the inside does not get as hot and even while driving you don't feel the heat.

    XPEL Stealth Washing/Care

    xpel ultimate plus PPF, xpel XR Plus ceramic window tint 30% sides 70% windshield and xpel Fusion ceramic over paint and PPF. Looks great and so far I haven't had to hand wash, just use the pressure wash and all the dirt and bugs come off clean.

    I'm on 32.2.1 My phone as key works all the time Auto high beams work correctly I have no problem with turning off the turn signals either by once again in the same direction or half press in the opposite direction. It's not the updates, if you are having these problems it more likely...

    Second flat tire in 3 months

    The Goop will not work in the OEM tires as they are acoustic tires with a layer of foam inside that will prevent the goop from plugging the hole.

    A Different Shade 3500 W Clearwater Ave, # B Kennewick WA 99336 They aren't the cheapest, but they do good work. I got the xpel window tint and the xpel self healing paint film. There were a number of places I talked to that said they could do ceramic tint for about half the price of A...

    Pacific Northwest Owners (Seattle, Portland, or towns/cities in the region)

    Yep, have the ceramic tint and paint protection film on the front. The tint is great here in the desert really limits the heat. I'll probably get the ceramic paint protection all around after we get back from vacation. we leave for Arizona on Friday.
