Today, the M3 alarm triggered. So I rushed out to the parking garage at work. Looking around I found nothing unusual. Looking at the Sentry recordings, nothing really obvious that would have triggered it, just some cars driving by... except that I noticed in the recording, perhaps 5-10 secs...

Just updated to 2022.40.4.1 to find that my home WiFi no longer connects, either automatically or manually. grrr.... It sees the SSIDs but can no longer connect. Perhaps there is a way to back out of the latest update?

Is there any reasonable way to use a Ring app (or maybe website) on the Tesla to view and control Ring devices (cameras, alarms, etc) at home? would be nice...

In 2.5 years my M3 UI has crashed maybe 4-5 times (screen goes black then reboots after 10secs, luckily the car is still drivable). But it has now crashed twice in four days. Maybe due to recent software update? 2022.8.2.5. I noticed it now wants to update again, 2022.8.3.5.

12000 mi 2020 AWD M3 with stock 18" MMX4 I noticed that the front tires have considerably more tread wear than the rear tires. Normal? Tesla supposedly rotated the tires recently but I don't know what pattern they used. Should I move the front to the rear? Get an alignment? I'd like to get at...

Just started: the IOS Tesla app now sits on "Waking up"... never had this problem before the last update. Phone (BT) unlock still works fine.

As far as I can tell, it is currently not possible to set as default to have the headlights ("lights") to be OFF. If one sets the lights to OFF, it will revert to AUTO after a PARK, etc. Not sure why this is... Any chance to convince Tesla to allow a default OFF?

I am finding that about once a month, my (IOS) Tesla app/phone key stops working and asks me to re-enter my login, password and re-register the phone as a key. Is this normal? Bug? Feature? It is certainly a nuisance, particular if one is in a hurry, all of a sudden you find you have to spend 5...

A few days ago, my late-2019 M3 AWD (2020.32.3) started exhibiting abnormal symptoms, eventually culminating in a full "event"... I'm guessing the first signs were a several days ago... I started noticing that when first backing out of my garage, it took a few seconds for the rear camera to...

Several days ago, my late 2019 M3 AWD started exhibiting increasingly concerning symptoms. First, I noticed that there was an increasing delay for the back camera to display an image during reverse. Then a couple of days ago, I noticed the sound occasionally got (e.g. when playing music). Then...

Circa January, about 5 months ago (with very little driving due to COVID), I put on some aftermarket pedal covers: brake and accelerator. Cheap but looked fine. Rubber with the aluminum grill-like covering. I believe these...

When I bought my Model 3 this past December, I kept my BMW 328xi for various reasons. For the next few months, the Tesla became my "DD" (daily driver), it was great! But I still drove the BMW 1-2 times a week just to keep it going. Now, with lockdown, working from home, etc, etc, there *is* no...

When not charging or not plugged into the car, what does the UMC use? These days I drive so little, maybe 10mi/week, that I don't see the point of wasting that power if it is appreciable, like even 100 watts.

Several times now over the past couple of months I found that TuneIn has wiped it's Favorites memory. Annoying.

Having bought my M3 just a few months ago (Dec 2019), and with Upstate NY winters and generally short distance driving (5mi commutes), I haven't often experienced the full regen braking/one pedal driving paradigm. But it just peaked at 52degs F (going back down into the 20's soon), so I got a...

i was driving a 100mi trip in snow and rain. Apparently camera and radar became obstructed because I got the message: Cruise Control Unavailable, and it certainly shutdown. Trying to re-enable failed. This is very annoying. I appreciate that the M3's Cruise Control is adaptive and considers...

Tonight I realized that I had parked my M3 in the garage but failed to put it on the charger. So I went back to the garage and realized I didn't have my phone/key with me. Nevertheless I found that I could open the charging port and shove the charging connector in the M3 without first unlocking...

stupid question, I'm sure... Is there an easy way to stop, "park" the M3, but NOT have it turn itself off? I don't mean routinely, but every now and then on demand. I don't think that is HOLD mode, or Park no autolock, etc. Neutral is no good, certainly not on a hill :) Routinely I like that I...

My M3 is scarcely 3 weeks old. I noticed a dark mark on the upper driver's side door post, close to where the seat belt loops through. A dark mark on the gray-ish fabric, about 1cm in diameter. I'm guessing it is caused by the seat belt buckle retracting and hitting that spot frequently. anyone...

Following the advice of some on this forum, i bought an inexpensive screen protector on ebay as I was waiting for the M3 delivery and EOY craze to play out. It came within a week, in a nice but generic white box, well-packaged, with several screen wipes/cleaners. I set it aside as I didn't have...

Just wondering what y'all have figured out as far as the front license plate for the Model 3... Didn't want to complicate the poll too much, so chime in on whether you're happy with what your current solution is. I'm about to try out the el cheapo solution ($7 bolts), but also looking at the...

I gather the recommendation is to keep the M3 on its charger whenever its at home. If it is only being used 5-10miles a day, is it really better to charge all the time, every day? I would never do that with a phone, ipad or laptop. So not better to let it go down to say 40-50% over a few days...

Patterns appear on windshield when fogged | Tesla I'm sure it is part of the manufacturing process but still would like to get rid of it. Steel wool sounds extreme... will Windex do or some other agent? It just rained but that didn't remove it.

I was thinking about installing a 14-50 outlet in the ceiling, to avoid cables running on the garage floor and crisscrossing the paths of the cars and walkway to the door. But one electrician says that it is "against code", requires the retractable cord setup instead. True? We already have a...

Today I was driving in whiteout snowy conditions, 70mph or more. It was very difficult driving. Visibility close to zero (well maybe 50-100feet of very low contrast). I just wonder how FSD or even Autopilot would deal with such conditions. I can't imagine it could do as well as an alert human...

So... if we spring for a home EV charger, through 2020, there is a 30% tax credit (up to $1000)? including any electrical work and the charger unit itself? https://ww.electrek.co/2019/12/18/us-extends-tax-credits-for-ev-chargers-motorcycles-fuel-cells-again-retroactively/

Tonight I found a delivery date on my Manage page... yay! I think.... but... 1) the address is botched, a non-existent mash-up of our home address + a service center address in another city 90mins away (an SC that I am told DOES NOT do deliveries). So now I have no idea what the intention is...

I've got an extra set of floor mats from a 2007 BMW 328. Any chance they fit the model 3?

Is it possible and reasonable to have snows installed at the time of delivery? (the $2K snow pkg) It may literally be impossible to drive back 5+ hours from the delivery site through Upstate NY without decent snow tires...

Trying to plan out charging in my garage... 1) Estimate for installing a new 14-50 jack in my garage? Breaker box is in basement and the run is probably 50-80feet. 2) The garage shares a wall with our washer/dryer room which has an unused 10-30 outlet for an electric dryer (we use a gas dryer)...

I read that Tesla is now doing new car deliveries at its service centers and when I placed my order, asked if I could take delivery at the new-ish Rochester NY service center. The order taker said Sure! but then we couldn't find Rochester NY as a possible selection on the order website. She then...

Thinking about getting snows for the M3... stock all seasons probably not good enough for Upstate NY winters. The 18" M3 wheel+snow package for $2000 looks not bad, but, as the near Tesla service center is 80 miles away... the question arises: Can I fit the 4 extra tires (the stock tire+wheels)...

Getting mixed message regarding whether a Model 3 ordered now (12/2) will be delivered in time for the tax credit (by 12/31/2019). The store in Mt Kisco says no, the deadline was yesterday 12/1. Tesla.com says yes and there is such a claim on the home page of the website... Opinions? (hopefully...
