Just another observation. I have new filters but they were changed by Tesla in April 2021, so more than a year ago. I also smell the sweet solvent odor, usually while it is raining, has rained, and/or high humidity. It's not too strong and often, but noticeable. I decided to experiment and...

I know it's more convenient to get it via Amazon and easier to return, but on Aliexpress, it's $190 shipped, and shipping took 14d from China to North America. So if you can wait 2 weeks, you can save $150, which I personally thought was worth it! And refunds on Aliexpress are very easy and...

Check out this thread for more info -- incl some initial data on efficiency. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/6904791/

Here you go ...

I have a 2019 Model 3 and it fits these wheels perfectly. So it fits the earlier Aero wheels.

Interesting data just posted here: I am not affiliated with them at all. Just some interesting data posted as a comparison. Quick efficiency test: charge to 70%, go on highway to 70MPH for 5 miles. No hub $0.00 May need lug and cap covers, $60 Efficiency 267 Wh/mi, 65% battery left...

I have found that a lot of USA sellers are just getting their inventory from the same makers all in China, and selling at a much higher price. Going to Aliexpress cuts out this much more expensive middleman. What you gain is a large price cut. The risks would be longer shipping times and harder...

Here's a good video on these. They are pretty good. Can be gotten off of Aliexpress as was mentioned earlier. Some sellers offer free shipping, others add in shipping. But pricing regardless is around $190-200 USD or thereabouts. Not super cheap as you would expect from Aliexpress, but...

FYI ... USB audio artwork is back! On 2021.44.6 ...

I wonder what Christensen would say about Apple and the cellphone industry. To substitute his thoughts as applied to Apple... "Apple is not disrupting the phone industry, it's just making existing phones better..." Just because he's from HBS doesn't mean he's right. :) I think most would agree...

I like the minimalistic interior of the 3, so this goes in that direction. I really like it. The steering wheel is like the Cybertruck and Roadster 2. As with anything else, it can't please everybody. When the Cybertruck came out -- so many people hated it. Now, what's the verdict? Pre-orders...

On 2020.48.26, I would have liked the FSD beta graphic UI without any FSD, but I do like the new UI. It's bigger, more colors, better definition, and better placement. I don't have an external speaker, so those options aren't available, but that's no big deal to me. Overall, I can't complain...

If you are talking about FSD ... that was already discussed. Buyers should know what they are getting into and that has nothing to do with the affordability issue. So compare the SR+ with no FSD at $39.9K to an F-150 avg selling price at $47.6K. In that example, there's no such option that...

It's been said many times that Teslas are for rich folk. The lowest end Tesla is the SR+ which is $39900 USD. No other options. FSD is $10K extra so that would put it at $49K USD. That sounds expensive, yes? BUT ... the best selling vehicle in the USA is the Ford F-150. And according to Ford...

So much complaining about FSD and not getting it yet. If you knew anything about the technology and what Tesla are trying to do, then you should have known that buying this option upfront without it being available was always a RISK. Being an early adopter exposes you to such risk. Buying the...

You should not advertise that the car is on FSD. This will change the behaviour of other cars as well as invite others to do very stupid things to test it. It seems like the reason to advertise it is to *warn* others -- but it isn't inherently more dangerous (when operated as instructed and...

Say what you will about Elon, but he has delivered on past promises, albeit late. But what he has said is nothing like what was said by the VW CEO in 2013: “We are starting at exactly the right time," said Group CEO Martin Winterkorn before the [Frankfurt Auto] show. "We are electrifying all...

Sorry for not replying sooner. Touchless really meant minimal interaction with staff: * Instructions were sent before hand via SMS and e-mail * The loaner vehicle had the paperwork inside it and I had to sign. * Dropped the paperwork off in some designated place * Dropped off the car in a...

Just wanted to give a big kudos to the Tesla Railside team in Toronto. The HW3 retrofit on my Model 3 SR+ went great with no issues. The whole process of requesting it through the app, and getting constant communication via SMS on the status was great. Got a great Model S P90D loaner, and the...

The problem with that report is that they are not comparing apples to apples. They are charging a battery that isn't exactly like the Tesla, isn't in a module or pack that is heated/cooled, under constant battery monitoring, or using the charging algorithm Tesla uses under all sorts of differing...

As a temporary solution, I use a motion activated LED bar light -- powered by AAA batteries. It lasts quite a while since I don't open that compartment that much. You can get these LED light bars really cheap from Aliexpress (<$6). They are usually for closet or cabinet lighting.

I also use Tailwind and it is great and very reasonably priced. Very easy to install and setup. And I can use it for multiple cars, garage doors, etc. with the same system and app. The only issue so far is that it is internet based. If your internet is down, or if their servers are down, then...

The issue for me is that for FSD, is the main problem the decision making when objects are known, or the fact that objects are not detected and thus the decisions are incorrect? The former is solved by the neural net while the latter is solved by more accurate sensors. I'm in the Musk camp...

If you launch the browser, same thing will probably happen. I noticed that it gets fixed after: 1. Rebooting 2. Letting the car go to sleep I reported it, but no word on if it will get fixed. I am on 2020.4.1.

I think the Music folder came from using a raspberry pi as the music source and having multiple partitions for music and the teslacam. The owner's manual does not specify you need a Music folder, so I stand corrected.

I would love to see maybe a one-time payment to turn on the rear heated seats if the car configuration supports it. For partial premium audio, it's already been stated that to be able to get premium, you need to install wiring, some speakers, a sub, and an amp. I wouldn't expect Tesla service...

As mentioned previously, you need to format the drive as FAT32. EXT4 will work if you know Linux. Also, did you create a folder called "Music" in the root folder of the USB drive? All music needs to go in there, else it won't see it. Regarding compression, I have many FLAC files that were...

Yup -- that's what I think they are doing, in addition to gathering data on general usage and gearing up for it as well as installing the infrastructure to properly charge for it. I think $100/year is a fair price.

Also, I think premium audio has a subwoofer which is missing on the SR+ and of course cannot be enabled by SW. :-) What I am hoping that can be activated via SW OTA update with the premium connectivity package: * Current LTE connectivity and availability to Spotify, TuneIn, YouTube, Netflix and...

I formatted using Mini Tool Partition Wizard on Windows 10. Used the default parameters. I might try it again, formatting from Linux directly.

On the Tesla conference call tonight, Elon mentioned a few awesome things coming: Better smart summon based on learnings from the 1 million times it's been used since V10 5% more power for Model 3 More range on SR+ by 10 miles (already announced) Faster supercharging on Model 3 SR/SR+ This is...

I wanted to update the statement above. Using EXT4 for dashcam was stable for a short while, but then an error occurred where Tesla said it it needed reformatting. However, it was mountable and readable in a Linux system. Using EXT4 filesystem within Tesla uses uid=1984 and when mounting, you...

If you look at the file sizes, each camera (and there are 4 if you are on V10) use up about 30MB for each 1 minute of recording. This adds up very quickly, especially in Sentry mode depending on where you park. Anybody walking by closely to any part of the car will trigger the recordings. In...

I can confirm that EXT4 format works for dashcam and sentry mode. This is on FW 2019.32.12.2. On the right front USB port, I have a USB hub -- Onvian 3 Port Ultra-Mini USB Data Hub, High Speed USB Splitter Hub. Connected to that are 2 microSD-to-USB adapters. One SD card is 128GB formatted...
