This weekend we're looking at a 2016 75D, looks like it was delivered late in 2016. Two owners. MCU 1. What is the expected cost for the MCU/screen upgrade? I think this one does not have air suspension. Two owners. Any advice or suggestions welcome!

I experienced the same thing last week. Navigating from Irvine to Anaheim, no supercharging required... but I'd arrive with only 12% SOC and wanted to park with more juice so I didn't need to charge so much when I depart. So, I added a supercharger just 3 blocks away from my Anaheim hotel. It...

I put off updating for some time, but found a change with 44.30.14 that I'm dissapointed about. When the car was new, setting recirulate OFF (but leaving the HVAC in "auto") would not persist between drives. Next time I'd start driving it would revert back to "auto". Then some time around...

2018 model 3 with 18” acoustic tires, to my ears noticeably quieter than Pilot Sports on 19” sport wheels. Rides better, too (technical handling might be slightly better on the PS but the 18” Michelin’s are no slouch).

Thank you. The 800 rings to a place called Microventures. But the …6980 number worked for me. $2 phone call but a nice fellow explained that the Gen 2 issue with 2018 models is ONLY a cable issue and they should have a proper cable at the end of April. I’m cancelling my T Sportline order...

I don’t find a phone number anywhere for them.

If it’s just a cable issue then I probably shouldn’t “settle” for a Gen 1 quite yet.

I sent an email to enh but no reply. I’m leaning toward cancelling until this dust settles.

I pre ordered the gen 2 from T Sportline, they were supposed to ship by now so I emailed them for an update and said that I will just be getting Gen 1 because my 2018 will not be compatible with the new ones. Should they have known this when I ordered? I’m thinking I should cancel and request...

Sorry, I know better! https://www.barrons.com/amp/articles/hertz-tesla-model-3-rental-charging-43edad54 Use Firefox reader mode to get around the paywall.

Krugerrand, you hit the nail on the head. Even Barron’s article today spews ignorance from a person renting a car (their poor grammar has them saying Hertz rents wives and cats LOL)… It can be frustrating but as you say we know what we know, share the awesomeness with those rational, logical...

I’m with you on this, it’s not a simple task to enable/disable recirc. Part of the problem is it’s not just on/off it also rotatates through “auto”. A BMW I owned ages ago had a recirculation toggle on the steering wheel, that was nice. I’ve been contemplating buying these...

There might be more to it. Tesla Nav thinks I can’t turn left onto my street. Same with Google maps. But, openstreetmap shows left turn allowed. I submitted feedback to Google, and will post back here if/when they implement the correction and also if that ends up propagating to my car. I...

Thank you, that “single press/double press” sounds like reasonable functionality. Years ago, my e39 BMW (‘01 M5) had a recirc button on the steering wheel. Comes in very handy when you see a smoking jalopy up ahead. Of course I always knew at a glance if recirc was on or off due to the light...

Mine does this. Always did occasionally but now it does it all the time. And, I’m out of warranty now. Looking for a DIY fix, anyone? I’ll be searching and might open up the panel behind the steering wheel to take a look and will update here if I have any DIY luck.

I’m (again) contemplating buying the buttons, but have a question because an earlier post was confusing: Using “recirculate on” and “recirculate off” - can both commands be set to one button… and not have to worry about it cycling between “auto”? And a second question: does a light on the...

2018 Model 3, LR RWD. 54k miles. 2023.20.9 App recommends 90% when slider moved above 90%. My charging habits are typically charge to 70% and plug in once or twice a week when SOC drops below 50% or so. I charge to 90% at least once every month or two before longer trips. Full charge shows...

I noticed if you add a waypoint which is close to your departure point, the ETA will NOT account for traffic. On an afternoon route today in the SF Bay Area, the ETA at the final destination is 30 minutes earlier if I add a nearby waypoint. This might indicate that weather or other factors...

I haven’t been to a drive in since Colonel Sanders was still alive. But, if I were to take my headlight-happy Tesla to a drive in, I do believe I would tape some aluminum foil over the headlights. Much less work than wiring up a physical switch, and only mildly embarrassing (compared to...

5 years of ownership and I don’t feel like the Tesla app pushes “ads” to me, in any way.

Has anyone installed 44.25.3? It just got pushed to me after installing 25.2 last night.

This is also likely not something that can be solved with a software update, I imagine it requires different BT hardware. I see this kind of "upgrade" possible if Telsa were to offer some kind of module. Maybe a module that connects to a USB port, or the OBD port under the center console...

Agreed; at first glance this update was all positive. But, the media controls are blocked by my hand and, while it's nice to have a card visible with my efficiency showing - I then can't view the media playing. WIth most all "changes" there should be an advanced menu where we can choose to...

Seems Tesla changed the behavior (for the better!) of the “auto” button in the HVAC display. 2022.44.2 now pressing “auto” doesn’t force the heated seats into “auto”. But, if you can make the S3XY button’s LED illuminate when “recirc” is active that would be an excellent enhancement. Thanks...

This will be nice. Thank you. Is it possible to cause the light in the button to illuminate when recirc is “on”, so the state can be confirmed without having to go into the HVAC screen? I also have a suggestion: when activating HVAC “auto” mode, the car by default puts the front seat...

Please explain the function of the HVAC recirculation toggle. When using the touchscreen there are three modes * recirculate (dark blue) * auto-recirc (greyed out or light blue) * recirc off (greyed out with darker border). Does the toggle rotate through the 3 modes? If so, is there any...

I do not object to having an auto mode for the heated seats. I still prefer to A) be able to see at a glance if they are on B) be able to adjust them without having to open a separate menu first. Countless times since v11 rolled out I have been disappointed by feeling too warm - I then...

I’m glad you’re not upset. But, it doesn’t make me feel better. I might be wrong, but I imagine you: * Don’t have a second driver who uses the car (displaying the driver profile at the top of the screen avoided a “surprise” when the driving features are different (the auto selection based on...

Your post made me think, but if your three bullet point items were consistent feedback from users I can think of many better solutions than they implemented here. - Too much info: give an option to declutter. Like “Joe Mode”. Could be “Boomer Mode”. - tiny buttons: Add one menu, like they...

I’ve had this “song skips part way through” issue for a while, maybe a year or so. No computer changes. 2018 LR Model 3. Over the past 3-4 months it’s getting much more frequent. I also infrequently get a message something like “autopilot safety systems unavailable”. Will schedule service...

Great video, thanks for sharing. Not likely, but I’d pay Tesla for a power trunk retrofit. Also, I wonder if the center console is swappable? I’ve removed the entire center console, it would be a very easy swap if it fits.

Let’s hope we don’t forget to move our foot to the brake pedal when we need to stop :eek:

There’s a free iOS app that measures g-forces. I’ll measure from a few different speeds, on level roads only, and note the temperature. Then in future I’ll have some digital data to try to correlate with my analog butt-o-meter.

Yes and very annoying when driving around sunrise when they “stop” dimming and go clear ... most drivers still have their headlights on and glaring back from the mirrors.

I’m also interested to learn if the “return of the dimming mirrors” still just dim based on time of day versus the actual light intensity coming from behind (like every other cat’s dimming mirrors!)

Good reason to hold a reservation, no? Who’s designing a V2G adapter to connect to the (rumored? Confirmed?) 30A outlet in the bed? (Maybe needs a 2nd cable to connect to the regular charging port).

Easy. In July I left Mammoth lakes with a full charge, visited Yosemite valley then drove home to Sonoma County with over 15% battery remaining - without any charging. LR RWD.

I wish there was a “detailed change log” with details like this at each firmware update so I don’t keep wondering if I’m losing my senses. Also something that seems different since 32: the auto highbeam headlights seem more sensitive, going to low beam too frequently/twitchy. I felt like it...

Indeed, if you really want a pure EV that’s fun to drive (who wouldn’t!) your list is extremely short. Therefore, I can appreciate your choice to select between these two. When making a list of “pro’s and con’s” I find it easy to decide if you assign a weight to each item. Your top two “plus”...

Keep it simple. Do the refi and yes take the cash to pay off the car. But, make the same monthly car payment you’re making now as an additional monthly principal payment. Guarantees you are saving money. By the way, that’s a very good rate especially taking “cash out” if you’re not paying...

Slow for an ambulance? Nah that’s what the shoulder is for (j/k) ;) ...seriously though, I also notice regen less aggressive recently despite warm temps and 50%-70% SOC.

This is the kind of bug that should not end up in wide release. Either the number of people testing is too small (some measurable % of iOS users use dark mode) or Tesla does not have an efficient means of working the bug reports.

LOL. Yeah, or “I wish I got a smaller TV”

That’s crazy and yes would be terribly annoying! The early collision warning is well done, if you’re at all trending to slow it will suppress the beeps - the green light chime should delay at least 1 second. I would expect it would also suppress the chime if you reduce or remove pressure from...

I just realized that a driver of a FSD capable car will get complacent and used to the car driving away from a green light. If one day they go driving without FSD turned on they need reminding to go on green. Like, use it or lose it ;)

Sorry in advance for the thread creep, but has anyone refused a Tesla update for an extended period of time? Other than the annoyance of the persistent scheduler pop-up does it ever force an update? My reason for asking is, I bought the car with some specific features. If a future software...

The Tesla charger was working 3 weeks ago, even though the plastic around the end of the connector is missing it plugs in. Axlxa, does it not operate at all now? Or did you not try plugging it in? Even without charging in the valley, just charge to 80 or 90% at the last supercharger you’ll...

That far left part of the green bar is reserved for reentry from orbit.

This thread has several posts of people who bought 50A extension cables and never once used them. I’m interested to hear the cases where they came in handy. I imagine a situation where parked overnight at a home with a dryer or oven outlet just slightly out of reach of the mobile adapter’s...

Where is the revision # stamped? Would be valuable to know if a mid-2018 build has the frequently affected version.
