    service required on 3701 miles on Model Y for front right safety restraint fault

    My father had this error on his Model 3 the day of his delivery. The car had to go into service to fix it with 4 miles on the odometer.

    Downgraded Audio? Might want to let buyers know [rwd vs awd]

    I bought a Model 3 SR+ in 2019, and the product page on Tesla's website very clearly stated that the sound system was not the same as the premium audio in the LR model, and it even called it a "Partial Premium Interior". For some reason on the Model Y RWD, they don't distinctly call it that...

    Will this adversely affect the value of already owned Model Ys?

    Not as much as the price changes that happened between 2022 and 2023. Inventory discounts don't affect the value of our cars as much as actual changes to the MSRP.

    How long for referral credits to appear?

    At the time when I purchased (Dec 2023), the loyalty and referral bonuses were both 6 months free Supercharging and 3 months free FSD subscription.

    Anyone received the TCEQ $2500 Grant Money for buying an EV in Texas?

    Posting this for any future appliers to this grant. If you are asked to provide a signed MVPA with a signed Paid in Full stamp, go to your local SC. Tell them you are applying for this grant. They will know exactly what you are talking about (at least in my experience they did). They will...

    Has anyone in Texas recently done the TCEQ Rebate Program?

    Hi Reddit, I submitted my application for the TCEQ Rebate in Texas in December when I got my Model Y. I got a call from them today that they need a signed MVPA for them to accept my application. The issue is that they gave me a deadline of Wednesday next week. I called Tesla and went to my...

    Anyone received the TCEQ $2500 Grant Money for buying an EV in Texas?

    Any idea where I can get this? I checked my MVPA on my Tesla account but there are no signatures on it.

    Speaker crackling during phone calls

    Hi everyone, I noticed on phone calls that my speakers crackle on my 2023 MYP. Music playback is perfect. I haven’t had any issues. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max. Anyone else have this? Hoping it’s a software issue. I am on v2023.44.30.8

    time to replace tires on my MYP, need suggestions

    I have been looking at replacing my Uberturbines as well. They look cool but I want to switch out to something more practical. I have considered the TS5s but they are very expensive. Same with the Martians MW03, plus the reported shipping delays don't give me a lot of buyer's confidence. I am...

    Steering wheel low vibration feedback from road.

    Just wondering if you guys found a solution to this, or if it really is just the car’s suspension and I am just sensitive to it.

    Are these TS5s or TSVs?

    2023 Steering Wheel Vibration model Y

    I scheduled a SC appointment. Thank you. So any road feedback felt through the steering wheel is abnormal?

    Road imperfection/feedback transmitting through steering wheel and accelerator pedal

    Wondering if you ever got this resolved as I am getting this on my MYP. Even at low speeds.

    2023 Steering Wheel Vibration model Y

    I just noticed this yesterday on my MYP while driving home. It's even noticeable at 10MPH, but more so on rough roads than on smooth roads. Is it normal to feel any road feedback through the steering wheel in this car? I'm not sure if my car was like this when I picked it up or now that I am...

    Got pics of how the Spiders look on your MY? Did you have to adjust the suspension at all?

    Tax credit 2023 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    I have Form 15400 in my account dated Jan 6, 2024. I picked my car up Dec 5, 2023. Is there a way to verify that the form was sent to the IRS?

    Model 3 RWD Purchased November 2023

    That’s great, I hope you enjoy it. That’s a demo model with 2k miles, personally I’d get a brand new one for a few hundred dollars more.

    Model 3 RWD Purchased November 2023

    My father went to pick up his M3 RWD today. Everything is great, he accepts delivery. Then we get in… error code. Front passenger restraint system fault. Didn’t even drive it and it had to go straight to SC. They were very nice, apologetic and luckily gave him a loaner. My dad took it well also...

    Clunk noise during left turn into an incline - anyone the same?

    I have the exact same issue on my 2023 MYP. Anyone else? I picked it up two weeks ago.

    Discussion: Model 3 and Y price drop Jan 2023 / April 2023 / Oct 2023 and All other Pricing Speculation going forward

    Prices seem to be slowly creeping up in my area for MYP. Lowest I saw a couple of days ago was at $48.9k, now they're sitting at $49.8k. Could be that the inventory is running out on those lower priced VINs.

    How long for referral credits to appear?

    Turns out because I already owned a Tesla previously, I don't qualify for referrals. However, previous/current owners are automatically enrolled in the loyalty program. Currently, the rewards are the same as the referral program, but the referrer loses out in this case.

    I got a new VIN to take advantage of the inventory discounts. Original window was Nov 27 - Dec 6. Now it's been pushed back Nov 30 - Dec 9 :(

    November/December Waiting Room

    Delivery window just got pushed back. Originally it had said Nov 27 - Dec 6, now it says Nov 30 - Dec 9. Hoping it won’t keep pushing back.

    November/December Waiting Room

    Was supposed to pick up today, but saw an inventory discount for the same config (Midnight Silver MYP with black interior). Called Tesla Sales Advisor and they were able to set me up with the discount and a new VIN. New delivery is scheduled for December 3. Hoping for a smooth delivery!

    Discussion: Model 3 and Y price drop Jan 2023 / April 2023 / Oct 2023 and All other Pricing Speculation going forward

    Was supposed to take delivery of MYP this morning. Last night, I saw the same config car for $1500 off. Called sales advisor and they were able to reassign my VIN and reschedule my delivery. Highly recommend checking inventory if you’re taking delivery in the next few days!

    Referral Credits

    Yep, it makes sense. Just wish it was clearer during the order process since I did have confirmation of the referral credit. But I am happy that I still get the same benefits. I am excited to try FSD.

    Referral Credits

    Turns out because I had a Tesla before that I don’t qualify for the referral. The advisor told me that since I am a previous owner, I automatically opt in for the Loyalty program, which is the same as the referral credit. Sucks for the referrer though, since they don't get anything out of it. :(

    Referral Credits

    Gotcha. I accepted a VIN last night through the app, but delivery is scheduled next week. I’ll check again next week after I take delivery. Hopefully it shows up.

    How long for referral credits to appear?

    I used a referral credit to order my Model Y yesterday. The page showed that the referral applied with the green checkmark. However the person who referred me checked their Tesla app and they did not see anything in their history showing that I ordered with their referral link. I wish I had...

    Referral Credits

    Hey, when your friend ordered, did your credits immediately appear? I used a referral for my order yesterday, but the person who referred me hasn’t received any credits. How long does it take for those credits to appear?

    NEW Model 3 Highland review!

    That'd be shockingly long, but makes sense with Tesla. Also no guarantee the $7500 credit will still be around. I may jump on these deals while I still can.

    NEW Model 3 Highland review!

    Debating if I should pick up a Performance Model 3 inventory at a discount, or wait for this new one. I'm seeing some for $48k - $7500 fed tax credit would leave it at $41k. I don't know how much the new ones will cost and if it's worth the price difference. What does the forum think?

    Car alarm going off randomly even when driving!!

    It's very likely that your frunk sensor is faulty. It might think it's getting opened, and that's what's causing the frunk to go off. On my current car, I had to replace the hood latch sensor because it was faulty and causing the alarm to go off randomly when the car was locked.

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    It's a valid argument, but there's one thing Hansshow does not have that is critical for a good sales experience: post-purchase support. With Hansshow, they will put in minimal effort to assisting you if you have trouble with their product, and many people have had a lot of trouble with their...

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    Looks like they raised their price for all versions. Not sure if they did this recently, or if they did it to make the discount seem more appealing than it actually is. I paid for Version F $1,099. I had also bought the DIY version before upgrading and I paid $80 for that.

    Windshield washer fluid low vcfront _a185 message

    Make sure that the cap in the frunk is securely tightened. You can also try cleaning it by draining it, and then re-filling it. If that doesn't work, may need to get the Service Center to change the sensor for it.

    Car rattling

    My car will have days where it is rattle-free and it is truly just bliss. Then, a few days later, that bliss is rudely interrupted by rattles everywhere. I have just accepted that's how this car is. Should it be? No. But now that I've accepted it, I don't find it as frustrating. So stupid for a...

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    I was pretty happy with how it came out of the box. I turned the gain up on the sub around 70%, that's about the only modification I made. If you're dissatisfied, I suggest messing around with the Tesla audio levels before adjusting the DSP settings.

    Model 3 - Vibration Noise from Steering Column Plastic Cover

    There is a screw underneath the plastic column in the middle (feel with your hand underneath when sitting in the drivers seat, there is a dip in the plastic to make room for it). I tightened it and I haven't had the noise since. You guys should give it a try and see if it helps. I hope it...

    Car alarm going off randomly even when driving!!

    If it continues, I would just drop it off at the SC. This is not a safe way to drive. I'd sh*t my pants if this happened to me while driving.

    Upgraded SR Partial Audio to Full Premium

    I believe it has always said "Premium Speakers" in the SR+. What distinguishes the SR+ from the premium interior variants is the "No External Amplifier". The premium interior has the second amplifier to power the subwoofer and other speakers.

    Odd media system behavior after 12.25.7

    Seems to be widespread on this version. I, along with other TMC members, have noticed the same problem. I am still not sure if it's a bug, or if Tesla intentionally removed this feature.

    Another subwoofer option - NVX Audio

    What year is your car? I am curious how to add a vent in my 2020 Model 3 so that I can hopefully get some more bass from the subwoofer in the trunk.

    iOS 15 beta + Tesla App

    Working fine for me too on iOS 15 Beta 4, although I’ve noticed my car doesn’t seem to go to sleep anymore. Not sure if it’s related to the iOS beta, maybe something in the background is preventing my car from going to sleep. Also noticed higher phantom drain.
