    Stereo cuts off when I put the car in park

    Same thing for me. Hoping next update fixes this before any speakers get blown! I’m on 2033.12.1 in a 20 performance 3

    2020 PTC heater issue

    So my car with about 20,000 miles on it has been blowing cold air lately. Only on max can you feel warm coming through the vents. Took it in and they tell me it’s fixed. Said it was a bad cover on the air filter which is one of those magnetic ones I installed day one 3 years ago. Of course...

    Can I add a tire rotation to my records

    As the title states, I recently did a tire rotation at home. Is there any way to add this date /mileage to the Tesla app as if I had them do it? Just like to keep things as neat as possible

    Supercharger - South Barrington, IL

    Covers are off and I believe the meter is connected though they still have yellow tape around them. Must be close now. I’ll check again next week

    Xfinity mobile and iPhone any issues?

    Thinking of changing from AT&T and trying xfinity mobile for my iPhone 12. I haven’t really had many issues with connecting to my model 3 with this combination but may be able to save a good chunk of change doing so. Does anyone have this combo and if so have you had any issues? I’m in the...

    Best way to get mobile service?

    I need an adjustment or replacement to my drivers door weatherstripping. When fully up it sounds like it’s cracked open slightly and wind noise is loud. If I just barely tap the down button, the wind noise is gone but then it sounds like something is loose in the door rattling especially over...

    Everything wrong with V11 update / user interface.

    My biggest complaint is the seat warmers. Why remove a dedicated button for something that gets used probably by most people driving during colder months?? Does not make sense at all and if they did feel it necessary, why not make them an option instead of stupid games or social media crap you...

    Flaky charge port door after latest upgrade?

    Just got 2021.44.6 and still have the same issues as the last version. I was hoping this was going to fix it but no dice

    Charge port door requires 2 attempts to open

    Same thing on mine. Tried rebooting but it did not help. Very annoying to say the least!

    Average age of Model 3 owners?

    GPS and southern Illinois driving

    So we are planning a short getaway to a place called Hohman Lake near the garden of the gods in southern Illinois. Does anyone have any experience driving around this area? Will the car be able to keep its GPS signal or do I need to download some maps for use offline? We’re coming from around...

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    Probably should have asked this sooner. M3P So I’ve been working from home mostly for the last year. If I do need to go in once or twice a week it’s about a 20 mile drive each way. Been charging to about 80% every night in my garage. With driving it so little should I let the batteries go...

    Driver profiles won’t edit/save

    Has anyone run into this one? I have my driver profile saved and easy entry. It used to be that if I adjusted the seat forward/back a little, the “save” button would come on and if I wanted to save the new position I could or ignore for a couple seconds and it goes away. Not sure when it...

    Cracked windshield wait time

    I ended up having Tesla do it for me. $894.50 after about a month of waiting. No leaks or noise but I did have some minor “speckles” in an area near the top that I was able to use some clay bar to get off. Couldn’t really see it unless it was right around noon with the sun coming in but if you...

    Coilover install locations?

    Anyone know of a good shop to do a MPP comfort coilovers install near Schaumburg? I would like someone that has a bit of experience with Tesla’s so I don’t get any surprises!! Car is a M3P and would like to help the ride out a bit if I can!

    If you could change one thing about the Model 3...

    I’d love it if they could put the magnetic shocks my 2012 corvette had. Firm when needed but then dial it for cush and it rides as good as my Lexus GS did!

    Preheating question

    Awesome thanks!
  26. Jimbonic

    Preheating question

    Just wondering. Now that it’s getting cold out how long will the cabin preheating stay on if the model 3 is not plugged in say at work with no plug available? Does it turn off after it reaches temperature or keep running until I enter the car or turn it off on the app?

    New windshield on model 3

    I would hope they wouldn’t give a used windshield. I’d think if that got out it would be horrible PR for them. Hopefully once I run a clay bar over it it will be better but will keep you guys posted.

    New windshield on model 3

    Just tried it with the baggie and I think you nailed it! Definitely feel things sticking up so I’ll try a good glass claybar and see how it looks after. Thanks again for the tip!

    New windshield on model 3

    So I had my windshield replaced due to a big rock cracking the original. Have to give props to tesla as they took care of me with great service. Gave me a loaner Model S (locked in chill) but it was much smoother than my M3P. Anyway, picked it up last night and noticed on the drive home it...

    Cracked windshield wait time

    It might be able to be repaired as it’s in the middle and not my direct line of sight. That said it is pretty brutal when the sun comes out and shines through it. Starts reflecting all over like one of those crystals some people hang from their mirrors!

    Cracked windshield wait time

    Wondering how many have used Safelite for their model 3’s? Any issues? Do they have the capability and expertise to seal properly and do any recalibration needed?

    Cracked windshield wait time

    Just got back from a quick ride and had a really big rock smash into my windshield Try to call my local tesla dealer and can’t get through to anyone. I put it in on the app and they responded pretty quickly, however it can’t be done until the 17th of December!! Not sure why it would take that...

    Panel Gaps, MY vs BMW X3

    I’ve been in manufacturing my whole life working with tolerances of less than .0005 of an inch, so I can understand how variances can and do come up with all the pieces being assembled. I wish I would have taken some measurements from my last car, a Lexus GS 350. Great solid car but in all...

    Tesla sales numbers

    Curious if it’s posted anywhere how many M3’s have been sold in each state and types such as RWD, AWD, or Performance? Color choices would be fun to know as well.

    Tesla to fix rapidly dying 12v batteries with software update.

    So out of curiosity, does the model 3 only charge the 12v battery say at home while the car is plugged in or does it do it while driving similar to an ICE car/alternator? Are people having this 12 volt battery issue making only short trips? I know my daughter had an issue years ago with short...

    Has anyone had a chip in the roof on the edge?

    Just curious if anyone has this same “chip” on the front edge of your roof. My car hasn’t been driven that much only 600 miles or so and it may have happened while driving but I never heard anything hit. Just wondering if it might be something from a robot gripper while assembling if others have...

    Electricians - Chicago West Suburbs

    Plus 1 for Ricky at Neighbored Electric. Fair price running new power from my basement up to the garage and connected up the Tesla wall unit. Works perfect and did a nice neat install.

    Service blew me off??

    Last post by me but you should read what was posted as the 7th posting. I did state that they ended up making it all work.

    Service blew me off??

    Because that’s exactly what occurred. Why get you undies in a bunch over facts being stated as they happened? Silly me I guess only perfect experiences should be posted on user forums. My bad. Thanks so much for taking the time to tell me your rules for this forum

    Service blew me off??

    No bashing at all. Simply asking questions for a situation and getting people’s experiences with similar circumstances.

    Service blew me off??

    Ok it’s all good. The mobile service guy texted me and apologized as he read his schedule incorrectly and headed out the opposite direction this morning. Very nice guy and I appreciate that he could just say he made a mistake. These things do happen. Now if I start seeing patterns in the...

    Service blew me off??

    Wow this is crazy stuff. Hopefully we all don’t have many issues that require service or it could get really ugly! Sad that a car company as sweet as Tesla can be so unorganized when it comes to service!

    Service blew me off??

    Curious what to do. I had a quick service appointment scheduled at my house for a trim piece on my model 3 door today at 8:30-10:30. I received an email last Friday saying I was the first appointment Monday morning. It’s now noon and nobody has contacted me or shown up. Does this happen often...

    Covid positive

    So my daughter, who is also going to be a nurse, tested positive at work as she currently works as a CNA at a rehab facility. For a couple weeks after being diagnosed, she self quarantined mostly up in her room. She was pretty tired to which she compared it to being exhausted after a long days...

    Dash cam sentry mode

    Quick question hopefully. I have a ssd connected and I believe the car recognizes the drive as the little icon comes up and a red dot is showing in the corner of it. What I don’t understand is that if I manually click save footage, it makes what appears to be a file but I can’t see anything when...

    New M3P delivery

    Seems like there are a ton of negative posts out there so I wanted to pass on my experiences. I ordered my car roughly 3 weeks ago. I was going to pick it up sooner but my daughter who lives with us caught covid so we needed to self isolate for a couple weeks. Tesla was really good about...
