    Reuters: "Tesla readies revamped Model 3 with project 'Highland' -sources" [projected 3rd quarter 2023]

    How about better build quality, like body panels that actually fit together good enough so the car doesn’t leak in the rain.

    False Security Alarm and Hood Open Warning

    I'm on 2022.28.2 now but it was on the previous version when it most recently happened and possibly an earlier version than that when it first happened a month or two ago.

    False Security Alarm and Hood Open Warning

    A couple of months ago while at lunch, the Tesla app on my iPhone sends me multiple alerts that the alarm had been activated. When I finally got to the car to check it out, all appeared fine. A gardener who was working nearby tells me the alarm started to sound on its own with nobody near it...

    EAP Return to US

    I paid 3k for EAP over a year ago and have found it marginally useful. I use it for lane change and autopark but nothing else. 6k for me would be a total waste of money.

    Water Leak [ingress during car wash]

    This is not normal. Who at Tesla told you that, a sales rep? I knew they were clueless when I picked up my car and found a mismatched body panel. He told me that it's normal because Teslas are hand-built cars. That's what you get when you hire people who just did stints at McDonald's and Best...

    Dallas Texas buying Tesla model 3s

    It’s crazy that although Teslas are made in Texas, they can’t be sold directly to customers because of the dealer franchising law.

    Los Angeles DWP rate plans - which do you use?

    ^^^ It's always good to occasionally check to see if the LADWP has any promotional programs to reduce the installation cost of the TOU meters. They had a $250 discount earlier in the year but I passed on it.

    Los Angeles DWP rate plans - which do you use?

    ^^^ Nope, I stayed with the Tiered Plan because after monitoring my usage for a year I found I never went into Tier 3 so, as I was told by the rep, it wouldn't be worth the cost of installing a TOU meter.

    Advice selling 2021 model 3

    The information on this thread is a good resource for me. I'd rather sell to an established company rather that a private party although I know I can get more. I know I'm being overly paranoid but it lessens the possibility of getting scammed.

    Aftermarket Dashcam

    I installed a Blackvue DR900S because of a reliability issue I had with the built-in dash cam. On two separate occasions when reviewing saved footage, it skipped over the frames that I wanted to see when it got to that point of the timeline. I also had that same issue when reviewing sentry...

    New Hansshow Center Console Dashboard Touch Screen

    I believe Fourdoor is referring to the Hansshow center screen, not the Tesla's screen. So in order to change the temperature, you have to tap on the temp reading on the display with a rubber-tipped stylus. Be patient because you have to tap repeatedly and it will eventually change. Do the same...

    Tesla Model 3 Saves Driver In Destructive 75-MPH Rear-End Crash - Dec 13, 2021

    The crash would’ve gotten a lot more coverage had it burst in flames.

    What did you name your Tesla?

    Nerd EV to go with the plates.

    Hansshow Dashboard Touchscreen V2

    ^^^ Yes, common sense was not in abundance on my part when I plunked down over 500 large on this thing. That's what happens to your brain when you're on COVID lockdown with lots of time on your hands.
  16. Mr. Big

    Hansshow Dashboard Touchscreen V2

    Now that I've removed the screen from my car, it's way more apparent how it affects the HVAC efficiency. The Model 3's system was not designed to have over 90% of the driver's side vent blocked by an object, and it seems that Hansshow admits to this now that they have a smaller version...

    New Hansshow Center Console Dashboard Touch Screen

    Take a look up on post 96 for a link to my impressions after living with it for a few months. From what I’m gathering from people who are still trying to make it work, it appears that the issues I had with it have not been fixed.

    Beware pot holes

    I hit a pothole with my 20" performance wheel and luckily it only damaged the tire and not the wheel. When it's time to replace all 4 tires I'm going to switch to an 18" wheel/tire combo because they're less susceptible to road damage and for the better ride quality and increased range. I don't...

    Hansshow Dashboard Touchscreen V2

    ^^^ Yes, please let us know if that method works. Below is what I'm reading on their website. "Plug In Its Power Cable And Choose Between Wired AUX Audio Input Or Use Your Car Stereo’s FM Radio To Listen To CarPlay Through Your Speakers."
  21. Mr. Big

    Hansshow Dashboard Touchscreen V2

    ^^^ Too bad you can't link the CarLink to your car's audio system using Bluetooth. The only way to get audio through your car's speakers is to connect to an AUX input (which doesn't exist on a Model 3) or by using an unused band on car's FM tuner.

    SiriusXM radio on Model 3

    Beware of this "solution" from Hansshow. Read my impressions before even thinking of blowing your money on this piece of junk. Go to this link and it's post #95. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/hansshow-dashboard-touchscreen-v2.216153/page-5#post-5684068

    Amazon Echo Auto - Sirius XM

    I 3D printed a center console tray with a place to put the Echo. Yes, it will hear your voice even with the lid closed but there are times when there's lots of road noise where it may not hear you so you might have to speak a bit louder.

    Blackvue DR900S with Blendmount vs TeslaCam

    ^^^Yes, I know the rear window but I'm wondering the best spot to mount it. I'm assuming the lower base but is that too low to get a view of the car behind you?
  25. Mr. Big

    Blackvue DR900S with Blendmount vs TeslaCam

    ^^^ Mine is also a dual channel but I haven't figured out the best place to mount the rear camera. Are you planning on mounting yours?

    Blackvue DR900S with Blendmount vs TeslaCam

    ^^^Thanks, I did eventually see your first post with the pictures but it was too late for me to edit my post.
  27. Mr. Big

    Blackvue DR900S with Blendmount vs TeslaCam

    Does having the camera mounted in that location just off the mirror give you too much of a wide-angle view through the windshield? Mine is mounted on the glass up against the car’s camera housing and it‘a still almost too wide.

    I wish the Model 3 had the new Model S steering wheel

    Being expensive doesn’t mean it’s good quality. The screen is also expensive and it’s a POS.

    I wish the Model 3 had the new Model S steering wheel

    If Hansshow's yoke works anything like their screen I would not trust it, especially for something that's so important for your safety.

    Waze [is waze available through native tesla interface?]

    From a purely navigation standpoint I find the Waze map graphics confusing and hard to read, but I like using it for its warnings and routing info.

    Where is the best place to purchase/replace/align tires on a Model 3?

    They’re called America’s Tire out here. They sold me the OEM Michelin 20” tire for my MP3 when I destroyed it by hitting a pot hole.

    ^^^My final impressions post was created as a separate thread but was merged into this one by the moderator. I was hoping that more people would take notice rather than having it get lost on the 5th page of this thread. I think it’s important for people to know what they’re getting into...

    Hansshow Dashboard Touchscreen V2

    ^^^What I meant by that is the screen's negative affect on the ability of the car's front Air Conditioning vents in front of the driver to work effectively in keeping things cool. The screen pretty much covers up about 3/4 of the vent forcing air to go around it. I know there are opinions both...

    Hansshow Dashboard Touchscreen V2

    About 6 months ago as I reading posts here on the TMC forum I came across a post that alerted me to a new product from Hansshow, the Model 3 Center Console Dashboard Touch Screen, V2. The second I saw it supported wireless CarPlay, I was super interested as that’s the one feature I really missed...

    CA DMV failing Tesla car for behind the wheel drive test

    I’m surprised this hasn’t been brought up before given the amount of Teslas in the state. The DMV should at least post a notice or alert the driver prior to testing that using total regen is not allowed.

    Hansshow Dashboard Touchscreen V2

    Hansshow Dashboard Touchscreen V2

    Okay I've applied the latest update (0528) and I'm still having Bluetooth and phone issues. And Waze still will not work reliably. I've played around with the screen for the last few months and I'm pretty much at the end of the rope dealing with it as I no longer have the time or patience to...
