Feeling like I'm missing something obvious. Searches show lots of rack posts and lots of car cover posts, but never the two shall meet. Does the Tesla or any other known model 3 cover fit over the Tesla roof racks? I'm looking for one to protect from the Pacific NW outdoors while away two months.

:rolleyes: Thanks for that edge case, but to me it's blame-the-user silliness. What I want is protection from actual hazards. You know, as opposed to my car using incomplete information to work against me.

We stopped using auto mode once we realized it was homicidal. Never fails, get stuck in heavy traffic and the car decides to flood the cabin with Diesel exhaust. Always hated this behavior in other cars. I'd hoped Tesla would be on top of it. Now, since Covid and the fires... uh, Elon? Does...

No I did not. That was March. (Wow) Because of all the uncertainty back then, and Oregon's only SC being almost centered in Oregon's first hot zone, I cancelled that appointment. Fortunately the camera and nav have been fine since.

Okay, that was good Ivanka, but can you try to emote more? We need eyebrows! Here we go! "Over the top 'special' person rant, take #12!" /s/s/s/s

I'm too familiar with motion sickness from slow oscillation (blea) but have never heard of it being caused by bumps. Any chance his head is able to rest against hard plastic while you drive? That'd give me a headache and poor disposition.

Learn something new every day! I see posi-products have a weatherproof butt connector, but not a splice. I would be tempted to add a smidge of dielectric grease inside to prevent corrosion.

Okay, that sucks. Let me buy you a drink. In a pandemic like this, of which we've never experienced before, uncertainty/insecurity are among the few things growing. The world will catch up as best it can. Take it easy, and stay safe!

I wanted Tesla, but I also prefer anonymity much of the time. A Tesla Camry model 3 would nail it. My decision to go with the 3 was shaped by other EV mfgs warping their offerings to cover their lack of investment in battery tech. Leaf was out because their battery cooling/management is weak...

Do you mind telling us your 3's build date? I strongly suspect those who notice a difference with a lithium swap had borderline failing 12V batteries. From my searches many 2018 deliveries had drained (damaged) AGM batteries that wouldn't meet OEM spec or be adequate for audio needs. Those cars'...

Honest question: Is that accurate EE usage of "buss"? My amateur knowledge thought of it as meaning a direct physical linkage uninterrupted by other circuits, certainly by other decision making activity which would delay any response and be of little use for real-time audio reproduction needs...

These are still analog speakers? The amps convert the bits to analog which drives the speaker cones. Enough power must be available or we get clipping and distortion. That's an excellent writeup, thanks. And it's good to read his results. If true for all our premium systems then the stock amp...

Yep, disappointing. Our P3- from 12/19 has track mode and was only $2k (plus the sport 19" wheels & tires so $3500 total). Trying to order a YP- last month was confusing, bumping into the full PUP cost. I called our salesman to confirm I wasn't doing something wrong. He was in complete agreement...

You guys need larger pictures. /s Seriously though, can you explain why not? I've yet to see the idea debunked beyond similar outright dismissal. I'd be fine if someone who knows the Tesla systems pointed out clear reasons using "a larger capacitor" to improve bass demands won't work. Maybe the...

Ah, of course. Should have noticed that. Our 3 is only 5mo old yet I'm tempted to switch to a Li-X battery just for the audio improvement (while my ears still function); the other benefits would be icing.

Did you forget to mention the audio (bass) improvement, or didn't you notice?

Copy and paste the same code for reverse speeds? Alex, I'll take "things only a wildly stoned tesla engineering team would do" for $500.

I test fit my Basenor door seal kit using removable tape. To my ears, it made no difference in highway noise levels. It wasn't there long enough for me to notice any effect on cleanliness.

Hauling 2000lbs behind a car not rated for towing by mfgr in US would be easily detectable and will have an adverse effect on longevity. I agree it should be otherwise, but fighting against denied warranty coverage = FML. I'm not saying this won't be worked out, just that for me, with other tow...

https://www.ohmmu.com/product-page/12v-lithium-battery-for-tesla-model-3 If nothing else, it's a crazy-simple subwoofer enhancement.

Lights aren't my worry. "I'm not a lawyer" but afaik Tesla's UK/EU warranty policy has no bearing on if, when I visit a SC for a failed motor/battery and they notice the aftermarket 2" receiver. Even if I only carry bicycles, how are they to know I wasn't tractor pulling against that idiot who...

It sounds like you want a cost-isn't-a-concern pro installer job. They'll have experienced opinions. I'd start there.

I'm so very tempted to do this, but need to hear more experiences of M3s with aftermarket hitches that experience any kind of drivetrain problem, and how Tesla service behaves.

^this. Search in your area for mobile wheel repair services.

Buy the worst car you can stomach, with liability coverage only, and specify "for pleasure" (not work). Even if you just park it, barring incidents, your rates will drop. The time-to-discount varies by area, car, and company, but when it begins get your M3 quotes again. This reminds me of a...

GPS still good? Have to ask. I had both go bad on my M3 - happened "magically" while parked 5 min at a grocery store - but Tesla was able to reset it remotely. First thing I did though was go through the cable harness like you. The symptoms were rear camera black (though reverse guide lines...

28% of picky forum-addicts doesn't surprise me at all. I expected more.

Nope, FSD required. :(

My GPS and rear camera went on the fritz, but the day Tesla replied to my report they reset something and voila, everything was happy again. They still want to replace "a part" that's been revised but it'll wait for now. Not sure if this counts as deferred repair or OTA winning. I'm happy, which...

Two window pieces? It's definitely in the pod with the temp/humidity sensor and forward facing camera. It's closest to the glass; you have to take the camera out and disconnect harnesses to get at the antenna.

It's in the windshield camera pod, behind the camera.

Could make for a nicely obscure avatar. Upside-down "Reindeer-Friggin-Elon!"

Seriously? Wouldn't you expect this? You have to pull back the flaps to see it? Notice the undamaged area behind the flaps? (generally the original goal) First-world (and then some) problem.

Current messaging says FSD goes to $8K in July.

I suspect your "autopilot" cost you much more than $25K! :D Excellent!

Do it. I'd be treating it as urgent. Tesla gave me a trade-in valuation of $54K for my 3P-, but of course no YPs are available. The new and used car market will be very challenging soon. Then again, priorities. Be well.

He might need a transmission flush, too! (and check my sig for miracle blinker fluid)

That's really nice lighting being in a garage. What camera?

Software, hardware, like all relationships it's really about expectations, met or otherwise.Transfer of real-time data is a team sport. Contention anywhere along the path burns through buffer memory, and if it lasts one moment longer than the buffers can handle, you get overruns and errors like...

Add one of these: Then tweet elon and wait.

Starman wannabe FTW!

Thanks photog72. What a difference two weeks can make wrt spare tire OCD. :boggle:

Is the hat really all the way down? Can you get the nut started?

Couldn't help but notice, yellow paint again at the damaged area. WTH?

I'd have been ecstatic if a reset cleared the problem. Tried that 4 or 5 times over almost two weeks, even powered off over night twice. No joy. The car only recovered after Tesla checked things remotely, and they still want to replace something. I'll definitely inquire further at the SC.

Dealing with same right now. Mine are working again after 2 weeks without, and Tesla seems to know something specific is wrong. Hoping SC appointment sheds some light. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/gps-antenna-disconnected-backup-cam-black.187512

Whoever wrote that sh** is giving yellow journalism a bad name. All batteries have limitations, and just about all are sensitive to heat (exception being thermal storage, within higher limits). Managing those limitations is the trick, and why viable battery solutions don't just throw a bunch of...

It's just carpet now. Raised carpet, but no plastic piece so it's about 1/3" lower. Contoured mats like my Tuxmats sort of squish down.

Could it have been condensation or evaporation from hot or cold groceries?

Yesterday I received a text from Tesla saying they need me to reschedule my service appointment because they're waiting for parts. Soon after that the backup camera and GPS started working again! No word yet if they kicked it back to life remotely but it does sound like diagnostics identified a...
