    Spotify always starts playing when I open the car

    Spotify plays when I open any door, including backseat, to get something, and ceases to play on other current device, like household speaker. Sentry mode off at home, pausing finishing driving, etc, makes no difference. An annoyance for over 4 years, no change. I have read many times that it is...

    Tesla Wall Connector control via Tesla App 4.23

    Personal Beef number 3 of 12 regarding why this will never be an every-mans EV. It IS awful that you can’t set a simple start and stop charging time, through the Tesla APP. I do not want to trust some 3rd party APP with my car login information. It has proved impractical for me to micro manage...

    How TF are people who live in apartments supposed to update?

    Will have to concede then that others have a different experience elsewhere. I do know, if you login to wifi briefly, for say, entertainment reasons, thinking you won’t be on logged in for long, and your way behind current release, Tesla will send you an update faster then a cat on a mouse.

    How TF are people who live in apartments supposed to update?

    Current Tesla download method allows one to not download, if you don’t want to update atm, by not logging on to wifi. I wouldn’t want updates to be downloaded automatically via Tesla network. It would then be forced, like Microsoft Windows, and that is annoying.

    Tesla is an AWFUL software company

    Until the steering wheel disappears, it is unsafe to take your eyes off the road to search the glorified Ipad for wipers, fan, temperature, etc. Tesla has no valid argument here. It is just cost savings at the expense of safety. Love everything else about the car, but doesn’t change this fact...

    Wrong speed limit detected in FSD visualization?

    I used to use the inbuilt audible tone speed warning, set at +10km over limit. Manual drive, just for advice. There is a repeating audio chime for 10 seconds, if the car thinks that it is over whatever you set. The data base is wrong so often, it became a nuisance, and I had to select it off...

    Model Y HUD upgrade

    An observation for those googling HUD Tesla and interested in Hudway for Tesla. Hudway have been taking peoples pre order money for over two years. Estimated delivery keeps bumping 3-6 months down the road.

    Tesla Broke Off-Peak Charging

    Started a thread once posing the question as to whether there was a technical reason we can’t have a simple start time stop time charging option? Went unanswered. I get that there are 3rd party APPS, lots of work arounds, and the way it works is perfect for some. Interesting that you never hear...

    Honk to record dashcam - delayed?

    Can’t trust it. I honked at a guy backing into me in a parking lot. Checked afterwards, video starts when we are already out, looking at the marks. I checked right after the incident, and hours later. The previous clip ends about 1 minute before. Checked all videos, dash and sentry. Three years...

    Charging Apps/Monitoring

    Flaws in third-party software exposed dozens of Teslas to remote access.. Googled Teslamate. Thus the cold feet remark. Want it, but it is just a nice to have, and don’t know enough not to misconfigure it, as mentioned below in this unverified article...

    Charging Apps/Monitoring

    Q1. Is there a technical reason why Tesla has still not enabled a way to simply allow one to set charging between a start and stop times? All the work arounds take daily guess work and input. I want to charge between 10am-3pm(solar panels, pittance for export), regardless of car % charged. Don’t...

    2022 Apple CarPlay update vs Tesla UI

    Wow. That is the interaction/useful dashboard display of my dreams. My 3‘s software is like the child that had so much promise, potential, and capability to achieve, but never amounted to any of it. Also like said individual, says will do it tomorrow, but after years of failed promises and...

    v11 software update SUCKS

    First visit here in six months. Getting the gist of what’s up. So, Elon has no intentions of allowing on-screen customisation of primary controls we use whilst driving, without autopilot. V11 proves this. This was beaten to death and promised, by him via tweet, after the 2020 Christmas UI major...

    Yet another bug fix update

    None taken. Musk announced “we will have display choices“, in direct response to complaints regarding the major display overhaul. Tesla even walked it back, on the S/X, but not the 3. My beef is as important to me as all the beefs about not delivering on expectations for FSD. Anyway, complaints...

    Yet another bug fix update

    Be cautious on all future updates

    I check here once a month, to see the state of play. I’m finished with the death by a thousand knives energy sapping firmware update experience. A war I will eventually lose, but I am currently living with no wifi network selected, and no attempts made so far at pushing a firmware via Tesla...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    More deceit. Simple truth, like it or not, would be fine. Spent significant time chasing up why Australia lacked this prominent UI gear shifting indication, that is in every M3 in North America. It was clearly designed as a compensation for the smaller low contrast font. No reason given for not...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    For those disappointed with the December M3 UI shrunken font, Australia should finally be getting a much better for situational awareness gear shift indication, with 2021.4.13. Currently, when you shift from P to say, D, the only indication of change is on the vaguely contrasted light grey 3mm...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Here is the video link that I used for my example, time of Gear shift is 19:21. I found many examples, on youtube. So, it is simply Australia that does not have this visualisation? This visualisation certainly makes the new UI, with the tiny grey font, more palatable. If anyone knows why...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Do I have a software display issue on my M3? When I shift to D, from P, the only indication I get of this change, is the tiny font that is slightly highlighted, on the vertical row, upper right side of the screen. Been this way since the December UI overhaul, with hard to read shift position...

    Heads Up Display (HUD) - Hansshow

    In your youtube video, you show when you switch to drive, you momentarily get a large D for a few seconds, in the MPH space. With my M3, the MPH continues to show zero, throughout the shift change. Why am I missing this great gear shifting situation display?

    Heads Up Display (HUD) - Hansshow

    Final feedback on the Hansshow customer experience. Original order was FEB18, whilst the Hansshow HUD was still for sale on their website. I was able to get my money back via paypal buyer protection. Interestingly, when Hansshow was notified by paypal of my claim that the HUD never shipped...

    2021 sr+ sound system

    Hannshow never shipped the item I purchased. One month and over half a dozen emails later, I have to give them 3 weeks before paypal will consider any escalation on their part. Hannshow don’t appear to understand basic English, or are being deliberately obstructive with the “no understand”. What...

    Heads Up Display (HUD) - Hansshow

    I do not recommend dealing with Hannshow. I bought the HUD before it was discontinued. I was then told it would be shipped in a few weeks, due software updates. Waited a month, somewhat patiently. Well, no one was ever going to contact me. Now, four consecutive days of emails. First, informing...

    Heads Up Display (HUD) - Hansshow

    Hi JWardell: I was referring to the HUD, as Hannshow called it, as opposed to the mini-screen, their reference, V2. The HUD, as of yesterday, has been removed from the Hannshow website, but I had it bookmarked: https://www.hautopart.com/product/tesla-model-3-head-up-display/ The longer...

    Software update 2020.48.26.x update, font size problems

    Further analysing the UI changes to the M3/Y, in an effort to understand it. With regard to the tiny grey on grey “gear” font(3mm or 1/8th of an inch): We went from this “D” indication: To this: Note, we lost not only font size, but more importantly for clarity, contrast, from black to...

    Heads Up Display (HUD) - Hansshow

    Hannshow HUD for M3/Y, discontinued, due Tesla firmware issues. How can anyone now trust the longevity of any electronic after market device? It appears Tesla will continue to actively discourage, or render useless, any attempt to find a work around for our individual UI issues. EM defiantly...

    2021.4.3 Update

    Maybe Tesla could invent a wiper control on it’s own stalk? With haptic feedback of on/off, and a rotary dial for speed, on the end of the stalk? It might work so well, for EVERYBODY, that it wouldn’t even be a forum discussion item. Seriously though, I am glad to have a forum to come to to...

    Heads Up Display (HUD) - Hansshow

    Thanks. Hannshow communicated via Whatsapp that it works with the latest firmware. However, the fact that you already replaced the board, and now have issues again, would indicate that firmware updates will be an ongoing problem. Too bad. Trying to think outside the box, when it comes to...

    Not a fan of recent software changes

    There was a font rollback in size for the S/X. The same firmware update had no change for the 3, because no UI font roll back is currently in the works for the 3, I am informed, after much complaining. Someday, according to EM tweets in the middle of the night, possibly whilst on dope, which he...

    So, the visual improvement is to move the speedo on the M3 again. Now I know they are just messing with our heads.

    Heads Up Display (HUD) - Hansshow

    Thanks for this post. I have been to Hannshow’s website. The pics and install video are pre recent major UI firmware change. To be, clear, do your pics represent how it displays as of today, with 2020.48.35 installed? Is installation still as per the six month old Hannshow video still linked...

    2020.48.35

    You guys are sapping my strength. No change down to the mm. Before and after the holiday update pic, as posted on the font change thread. Then down to my car just now. Pic of 11mm Speedo, and firmware pushed yesterday, 2020.48.35.5

    2020.48.35

    So it is no change to the UI with this firmware, for M3/Y. Had my second service request closed, but did get some discussion with tech support. Only opened a second one hoping to get more information. There is none to be had as to why the X/S had smaller font, then larger font rollback, and no...

    Software update 2020.48.26.x update, font size problems

    Yes, was thinking about the new parallel parking experience, shifting several times from D to R to eventually P. The pitfalls if you get it wrong, and press accelerator. Now have to pause and try to focus on a not obvious at a glance gear indication. This is so F’d up.

    Software update 2020.48.26.x update, font size problems

    Thought I would post the model 3 directly below the S/X display. Many posts here, we are all not seeing exactly the same thing. Looking at the grey screen back ground in the previous post, I think that the new stark white window on the 3, with the faintest grey font, is worse then the contrast...

    Software update 2020.48.26.x update, font size problems

    Guidance on the only way that I have found to send feedback. Open a service request in the APP. Ask for a firmware rollback for safety reasons. You will end up having a service message chat within the APP, that gets you no where, they are not going to do it, but at least there is a record of...

    Software update 2020.48.26.x update, font size problems

    “15 inch touchscreen display designed to improve over time.” This is a cut and paste from the Tesla 3 sales website, just now. It was there when I bought the car, over 18 months ago. I like most things about this EV, except I have never really taken to the way I access or see some information...

    Software update 2020.48.26.x update, font size problems

    Disgusted with even smaller fonts. Yes, I am over 55 and wear distance glasses whilst driving. Have been waiting for over a year in hope of a user customisable option, like fan control that doesn’t require eyes off road(auto poor hot climate), or more obvious turn signal indication? Now more...

    Autosteer?

    Can’t identify pot holes, auto pilot freaking out audio warning over cars that are parked at the side of the road, little understanding of the psychology of what people are obviously doing, or are about to do, etc. Love the way an electric car drives, dislike the Elon spin that this car only...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Thanks. Never been to the upgrades section of my account. A month before delivery, I dropped into Martin Place, and the Tesla girl had to disappear to check the computer, then comes back and tells me $12K if I don’t add it before delivery. I think I might buy it now.

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Wasn’t the price actually $8500+luxury tax, therefore approx. $11300? Showroom staff in Sydney told me it is $12000, after delivery. The additional $2000 luxury car tax is what put me off, not the $2000, itself. Would Tesla be selling more FSD at a no cost to them post delivery flat rate...
