See my post here: Trunk not walkup unlock

I just returned from Tesla's service center, and the problem turned out to be a control setting issue. In the Lock section of the car panel display, there is a setting labeled "Driver Door Unlock Mode". I believe this is was introduced under a recent firmware update, and that I had turned it on...

Could it be my 12 volt battery needs replacing? I thought I read somewhere that this may be a tell-tale sign.

Where is that mode controlled from? The trunk release button and display panel icon to open the trunk won’t work on my car. Only way to open the trunk has been through the app. Same issue with the frunk.

I’m having the same problem all of a sudden with my 2020 M3P. Trunk won’t open using screen nor with the trunk lid button. I usually have to “turn off” the car using the lock icon on my phone app and then unlock it again, at which point the vehicle screen icon will release the latch. I think...

Just found some water on the trunk liner of my M3. Nothing major, but I also didn't have anything in there to get damaged. I have an appointment tomorrow with the local service center, so we'll see what they have to say. What's disappointing to read is that Tesla doesn't seem to have a solution...

Is the used car market beginning to soften, or does the M3P depreciate quicker than for the LR? I've got a 2020 model, a mere 1,800 miles, white interior, no FSD, and Carvana is offering only $48.3K. I paid $59.5K before taxes, registration and title, so a $10K hit.

This is an interesting thread. Lots of posts from serious car nuts with experience driving some seriously fast machinery. It is quite refreshing after spending time at other car enthusiast sites, where the mere mention of a Tesla causes other brand loyalists (I'm looking at you Porsche, BMW...

I suppose that makes me an iconoclast. My Model 3P has zero mods. I like how it came from the factory. I like it even more that with so many on the road now, I can blend in to a sea of white Model 3s. It keeps the LEOs away, and confuses them after I've blown past their radar guns. This Q-ship...

'20 Porsche Cayenne S. As heavy as my Model 3P is, that beast weighed 800lbs more, chugged gas like a drunken sailor, and reminded me of my outsized carbon footprint each time I drove it.

If they stopped doing skylights, it's probably because they've experienced claims with their product, which is why they're saying it could affect the integrity of the completed roof. A reliable roof would be more important to me than some skylights, but it doesn't matter either way because Tesla...

What an absolute SNAFU by both the city and Tesla. The least Tesla could have done was to honor your contract price given the inconvenience and stress this must have caused you. A trillion dollar company should have a proper customer service department.

This is interesting. Either it will allow for more energy generation to justify the higher current pricing, or it will allow the same amount of energy to be generated at a lower price point due to fewer solar tiles being used. Or will they maintain the higher price for lower total energy output...

Interesting. I can see the logic in that, although my previous roof was concrete tile, so not that much easier to penetrate. My home has a sprinkler system throughout, so that may have made a difference. However, in rjpc's case, it sounds like they didn't even give him the option of such a...

Huntington Beach. It is strange that Tesla would have had to get approval from the County fire authorities. To my knowledge, the only approval Tesla obtained prior to my install was from SoCal Edison, and the City of HB. I understand that there have been numerous Tesla solar roofs installed...

My contract, signed just a few months before the price increase, was honored early on without drama. The advisor I worked with was very professional and prompt in his communications, and I experienced little delay or difficulty with my install. What's puzzling to me is the wide disparity in...

This actually makes a lot of business sense. By working with a home builder on a new development, Tesla can have early input on the roof design (preferably the same standard shape) and pre-configure every roof piece using a cookie cutter design for every single home in the tract. It will be much...

The examiner is probably just pissed off that he and his colleagues will be out of a job once Musk perfects full auto pilot mode. Back in the '70s when I took my driving test, the examiner knocked off some points for "aggressive cornering" when I showed off my heel-and-toe downshifting...

If you read his response closely, he is talking about two separate things: Underlying existing conditions that may require repair, AND “future adjustments to your project due to basic pricing structure.” The former is fair game, and is part of the original contract terms. The latter is not if...

It appears I may have spoken too soon. As is my practice, I sent a confirmation email to my Tesla rep on what he told me about honoring the original price. Here was his non-response: "While any future increases in your total contract price are unlikely, I cannot guarantee that there will be no...

I too did not sign the new contract, and noticed it had disappeared from my account. So I contacted my account rep, and was informed that Tesla had withdrawn the new contract. They will honor the original contract price. My project is scheduled to commence tomorrow, so the close proximity of...

This is NOT intended to be legal advice, but in your circumstance, you may be better off pursuing an individual legal remedy. The problem with getting lumped into a class-action lawsuit is that you end up with the same award as everyone else. Most will not have suffered the degree of damages as...

One has to wonder what the massive price increase will do to Tesla's business model for the solar roof, never mind the substantial damage this episode will have on their already shaky reputation. In addition to those of us under contract, will shareholders join the litigation fray once their...

I just got my notice today about the price increase, but not the revised contract, so I called Tesla. My original quote was $43k for just the solar roof, but I am now told it is $85k! The contract was entered into just two months ago. The city permit was approved last month, followed promptly...

It's not surprising Tesla is offering to reimburse for your out-of-pocket costs because they would most likely lose, whether it be in arbitration or litigation. You would have a claim for Detrimental Reliance. To establish a DR claim, you would have to prove the following elements: A promise...

Yep. It was late afternoon, and I was going stir crazy with the stay-at-home order, so I went for a drive up the coast.

I see an "Alfa Romeo" banner in your garage. Brilliant minds think alike. Here's a link to my Duetto before a recent restoration to original condition: Giulia - eori

A few thoughts here: First, although the Governor's order referenced and incorporated the Federal exemption, I don't believe the municipality's order, which preceded the State order, specifically recognized it. There is of course the question of whether a State order preempts a local order, but...

The choice really is about one's preference as well as needs. I just took delivery of a M3P, and coming from a 2019 Cayenne S and a 2016 Macan S prior to that, I really appreciate the lighter weight, lower center of gravity, the quick reflexes, the great frontal visibility, and incredible torque...

Don't count on any incentives to clear inventory because the Fremont plant is shutting down. From the WSJ: "On Tuesday, local authorities told Tesla Inc. that it must stop production at its Fremont, Calif., factory as part of an order by Alameda County to have people shelter at their homes to...

It's a difficult decision, but if you don't take delivery now, it may be a long while before you could get a new Tesla. According to the Wall Street Journal, "On Tuesday, local authorities told Tesla Inc. that it must stop production at its Fremont, Calif., factory as part of an order by...

Yeah, there’s at least several dozen of every grade Model 3. Most of the performance version is in blue. Are folks canceling their orders?

I took delivery yesterday of my white/white P+ a day early, as they had it ready to go. Ordered 2/16, VIN appeared 3/10, and delivered 3/12, so not bad. Delivery was very easy, with all paperwork taking less than 10 minutes to complete. How could anyone go back to a dealer franchise, with the...

I just received the delivery text and scheduled pickup for this Friday. That was quick. I hope it doesn’t rain too hard.

VIN in source code today. My SA tells me its still at the factory. Order date: 2/16 White w/ white interior, Performance +

I also received the 2-3 weeks message this afternoon, so delivery hopefully between 3/23-30.

That's promising. Ordered 2/16, white on white M3P. Hoping to hear my number soon.

How awkward looking. An Accord nose with an Infiniti QX35/45 tumblehome. From the "electric cars must look weird" playbook.

I've noticed on the order status spreadsheet that there are still quite a few members since December who have not yet received their vehicles. I wonder if they gave up, or they just didn't bother to provide an update. In your case, the Performance models built in Q4 (i.e., December) were...

Thanks!

I tried searching this site for an answer to this question, but came up empty, as I wait for my new Model 3P to arrive. Is it possible to schedule the time of day when the car will charge while connected to the Tesla wall charger? With electrical rates cheaper after midnight, I would like to...
