    Back seat cover for dogs in Model 3?

    Hi. I was just wondering what people out there have used as a back seat cover for their model 3 - in particular for their dogs? Does anyone make a custom-fit cover? Dogs like Teslas too!

    Kind of dumb question - leaving car sitting and tires deflate ...

    I am high-risk for COVID, so my life is a bit incarcerated these days. I barely get out of the house to do anything and my Model 3 sits on a charge more time than not. But this isn't about me. I noticed when I was driving (in San Francisco) the other day (unique occurrence) that my car was...

    My phone app logged out after 10 months - is this normal?

    The reason I asked as I was about to go to an important appointment with my wife - and phone key was logged out of Tesla. It only threw me for a couple of minutes, but it was annoying. Strange part was when I looked at TeslaFi. It too had lost it's token. Nothing had been logged today. It's...

    O.T. — Battery in ICE car ...

    When I am not driving my Model 3, I drive my wife's (old) Mercedes. It doesn’t get driven much, and barely in this pandemic. I had a question about the battery in an ICE car. I think mine bit the dust. the car drove fine until the pandemic (reliable SOB for 15 years). I have had a couple...

    Strange TeslaCam behavior?

    Hi. I have a Model 3 P3D- delivered in early December. I have set up TeslaCam with a Samsung T5 plugged into one of the main console ports. No hubs, nothing. I formatted the T5 to Fat-32 with a Mac. There is a single "TeslaCam" folder in the root directory. TeslaCam indicates that it is...

    Should a 2020 Model 3 make a warning sound?

    While going forward? I have a December delivered 2020 Model 3 and it does not make a warning sound going forward - only in reverse. I thought that the warning sound was required on all new cars. Or was it, and my car is normal? TIA.

    Car is always dirty ....?

    I took delivery of my Model 3 on 12/4. As you can tell, I live in the San Francisco Bay area, where rain is common - along with associated dirt. I’ve had many cars over the years, but none have gotten so easily dirty (mud/dirt splashes) as my red Model 3. I even had a midnight blue Porsche...

    Basic question ... about to get Model 3 and have no place yet to charge it.

    All I have is 110 in the garage. Electricians around here are as hard to get as Teslas! So it could be a couple of weeks or more. This house is wired under 2016 California Title 24 (from remodel), so it may be a pain with permits, etc. I live a bit of a drive from SCs (though they are...

    How to find inventory in the Bay Area?

    I have been going to Tesla.com - looking for possible inventory cars - as I have limited availability toward the end of the month and my order may not be deliverable if time is not in my favor. But, when I go to Tesla.com and look up inventory, there is nothing within a 200 mile radius (Fremont...

    What does it take to get a Model 3 - aside from waiting and waiting?

    I ordered a Model 3 (LR AWD, red with black interior, 18" wheels, no FSD) on 10/1, could not pick it up in a 2 day time frame on 10/8 or 10/9 and was told that Tesla wouldn't hold it for longer than 2 days - so I lost it. I reordered the car on 10/11, and have been kept in the dark, told that a...

    Is insurance holding me up?

    I wonder if the lack of completion of insurance is going to hold me up in getting assigned a VIN, etc. Everything in my profile is set up, cash payment, no trade, etc. - but my order page is always is at "insurance" - in "things not yet completed." Now I had a car but sold it a while back when...

    Got phone call and e-mail from Tesla .... same old stuff ... soft of ...

    Hi. I just got the following voicemail from Tesla. My voicemail goes through a transcription service and they usually get most of it right. My formatting is for emphasis. Please bear with me as the following says a lot. : "Hi J. My name's XXXX. I'm reaching out to you on behalf of the...

    Model 3 waiters in California - please post here

    While I know it is logistically sensible to get deliveries underway to distant locations - east coast, Canada, etc. - but it seems to me that is isn't completely obvious when those of us in California will get our Model 3's. I highly suspect that those of us in California (and even worse, the...

    OK ... what is Tesla trying to do now?

    Tesla never ceases to amaze me. Looking at their ordering site today, I now see that Model 3’s are shown as “5-9 weeks for delivery” for SR+ and AWD trims and “7-9 weeks for delivery” for Performance trims. Yesterday it read “6-10 weeks” and “8-10 weeks respectively. This makes absolutely no...

    It’s finally made trade publications ...

    Tesla’s switch to foreign markets. See .. Tesla pushes Model 3 delivery time in US as demand surges in other markets - Electrek As someone waiting for US delivery, I really hope Tesla doesn’t make December a “month from hell.” Given weather issues, Xmas, and Tesla’s idea that new (i.e. -...

    Picking up Model 3 AWD tomorrow - what to expect?

    Hi. I'm picking up my Model 3 tomorrow - and the delivery center (San Francisco) told me that it would be all of a 15 minute experience. Is there any truth to this? They said the time of day (early afternoon) was going to be easy - that evenings were a big crunch. I want to (and should)...
