    AP double ding chime often sounds rough

    I searched for this and didn't find anything but it's kinda hard to come up with relevant terms so I hope I'm not duplicating. When I double tap down on the right stalk to activate regular Autopilot, it makes the usual double chime. Rarely it sounds normal and refined, like the double chime is...

    Why does recirc keep going back to auto?

    I prefer that everything be on auto but recirc locked ON. Contrary to what Tesla service claims, recirc ON prevents my cabin filter from getting stinky so I like to have it on. So I press Auto and after that, press the recirc button until it is dark blue: should be on. Typically it stays that...

    Lane departure warning off: still warns

    I hope I'm doing something wrong or missed a setting and someone can set me straight. I turned off both the lane departure correction and lane departure warning but the car still screams and displays "Take control immediately" when I cross a line. The warnings happened too often when making a...

    Why does the UI miss so many oncoming vehicles?

    OK, I've been scratching my head for a year now and kept my mouth shut, but I just have to ask... When driving down a two lane road (one lane in each direction), I notice that the UI will detect several vehicles in the opposing lane passing by and then it'll miss the next two or three, then see...

    No more Tesla logo when I reboot

    I have 2021.44.30.11 and I normally get new updates really early. I hadn't seen an update in weeks do I decided to reboot. I held the two buttons until the screen went black, waited a minute, and I expected to see the "T" logo before the system came back on. But no "T" logo ever appears...

    2021.24.10 now nags every 10s when on AP

    Wow, this latest 2021.24.10 that I received a couple days ago is horrendous! For the past 6 months, I could turn on Autopilot and usually get 30s to 45s before the nag comes up to put torque on the steering wheel. After the 2021.24.10 update, it is now every 10 seconds consistently. Is this...

    Turn off recirculation, car sounds like a jet

    After hearing that overuse of recirculation can cause a stinky HVAC system, I turned recirc off in my Model 3 this week and left everything else on auto. What I've noticed is that as soon as I turn off recirc, the car (on the outside) sounds like a Harrier jet trying to do a vertical takeoff...

    Sleep Apnea [my car wont sleep]

    After being on the charger and sleeping for days, my 2021 Model 3 will eventually get itself into a mode where it continually runs repeated charging cycles and will never go to sleep. I figured out before that if I unplug the charger and plug it back in, it'll go to sleep after a few minutes...

    2021 Model 3 ticking sound

    My 2021 Model 3 has started making a ticking/popping sound every few seconds when I first get in. It goes away after a couple minutes. I said in the video it sounds like an electrical tick from a speaker but I'm not too sure. After recording the video, I pressed down on the left side of the...

    Sentry mode not recording (reliably)

    I got my 2021 Model 3 LR in March and have had sentry mode turned on since I got it. I'm on 2021.4.18 right now with the Tesla USB stick that came with the car (which I've formatted in the car since I got it). Dashcam saving works and sentry mode works when I try to open the car (use the...

    2021.4.18: now stays connected to WiFi when sleeping

    Ever since my Model 3 updated from 2021.4.15 to 2021.4.18, it now stays connected to WiFi all the time: even when sleeping. My Model 3 is the only device on my WiFi extender and the extender has an LED to show when something is actively connected to it. That connected light now stays on 24/7...

    AP "pulsing" on takeoff?

    After the latest update to 2021.4.15, I've noticed that when AP comes to a complete stop at a light behind another vehicle, when the vehicle in front starts to move at the green light, my Model 3 applies throttle, lifts, applies throttle, lifts, etc. I didn't notice this happening in the...

    Close to first payment being due but nothing from lender

    I bought my M3 on March 21 and financed through Tesla. The loan documents in my glovebox on the Tesla account show the details of the loan but it has no lender or any info on how to remit payment. I called Tesla in Tampa where I bought the car about 2 weeks later and asked: they said I should...

    Dear Autopilot...

    Dear AutoPilot, I wanted to thank you for what you did today. I had been sick for a few days and even though I'm feeling better today, I decided to get a drive-thru COVID test to be sure it wasn't that. To my surprise, after the test I felt a bit weaker on the drive home and a little shaky so...

    New Model 3: slight flickering of screen on startup

    I noticed a very slight flicker on the screen when I first enter my Model 3, press the brake, and enter my PIN code. The screen slightly reduces in brightness for I'd guess maybe 20ms and repeats about every 2 seconds. It continues for maybe 15-20 seconds in that cycle and then all is OK. I...

    Is my Model 3 Autopilot learning?

    There's one stretch of road that I always have to travel to get to the civilized world from my house: a 5 mile stretch of 60 MPH country road that is 2 lanes, 2 way traffic. Been using Autopilot on that road with my hand on the wheel paying close attention. The first two times I went by one...

    Before I screw up my Model 3 in the car wash...

    I've had my Model 3 for 5 days and it's almost time for its first wash. With my prior three vehicles, I've always used the same carwash: it's a "Tommy Wash" with the conveyor belt. Always done a superb job and I've never gotten as much as a micro-scratch from it. My prior car was a Chevy Bolt...

    Sentry and Dashcam - set and forget?

    Just got my M3 2 days ago. Sorry if this has been covered but I spent 30 minutes searching and can't find any definitive answer on this specific question. I want to leave Sentry Mode turned on and not have any "maintenance" to clear the card. I found info that said Sentry Mode will now...

    Got my Model 3 today: some noob questions

    I finally traded my 2 year old Bolt and got a Model 3 LR today. So excited, but have a couple questions right off the bat. One is an error message I got on my first drive home from delivery and the other is about charging. I searched these topics but the answers didn't seem to apply or were...
