    Phantom Braking getting worse - any ideas on how to stop it?

    Did another 700km trip on 4 lane divided highway a couple weeks ago and experienced over a dozen phantom braking events using basic autopilot in my 2020 M3. Booked a mobile service visit with Tesla in which they canceled a day later saying this is normal and pointed me to the owners manual...

    Phantom Braking getting worse - any ideas on how to stop it?

    I say "obviously" because I never had excessive PB issues before the radar was disabled on my car. I hope people are tapping the voice command button and stating "Bug Report Phantom Braking" each time a PB event occurs. I also hope people report this defect to their associated countries safety...

    Phantom Braking getting worse - any ideas on how to stop it?

    Who knows what the future holds. But right now, Tesla obviously has a problem using mono vision to judge distance. How long will it take to fix, or is it even possible to fix with the hardware that is currently installed? I don't get a warm and fuzzy when I look at the history of Elon's...

    Phantom Braking getting worse - any ideas on how to stop it?

    Just adding my voice to say phantom braking event rates have got stupid. I drove 700km on divided highway and had over a dozen PB events. I only do a couple trips like this per year and have never experienced anything close to that. What is also frustrating is that you hit the accelerator to...

    Phantom Braking getting worse - any ideas on how to stop it?

    Autopilot freaking out (i.e. not being able to figure out where the car should be in relation to the lane) when a turn lane appears or two lanes merge into one, was my main complaint when I first drove my car in 2020. That was before phantom braking event rates exploded.

    How should I remove an army of grasshoppers trapped inside the car's grille?

    Just saw your post about grasshoppers. I had the same problem. I just found out about what looks like a good solution from RPM Tesla. Just looked under the radiator cover. What a mess of grasshoppers.

    Just looked under the radiator cover. What a mess of grasshoppers.

    Thanks - that looks like an easy fix!

    Just looked under the radiator cover. What a mess of grasshoppers.

    I just drove 2800km in Saskatchewan/Alberta. This can't be good for the car. I'm going to install a screen of some sort in front of the grill inlet.

    Sound Deadening Model 3

    I found that going over road expansion joints in my 2020 caused an annoying loud "whomp". I think the rear deck was contributing to that noise. Just using my finger to tap showed both the rear deck fiberboard? and rear deck metal had a lot of resonance. I did a lot of work sound proofing the...

    X-Ice XI3 on Model 3 AWD

    Note that Michelin has updated the X-ICE XI3 tire this year and now calls it X-ICE SNOW.

    Anybody bought from Taptes?

    Your right. I emailed twice and haven't heard back. I guess it's time to dispute the charges with my credit card company.

    Have there been any model wide recalls on Model 3?

    There are a number of service bulletins for "non-safety-related conditions". Some I would assume are automatically implemented by SC during a visit and some only with a complaint.

    My car has uploaded 22GB over Wi-Fi in the past few days. Any idea what's up?

    Someone else had mentioned this idea in a post awhile back and I have observed same behavior: the car does not seem to recognize speed limit signs on the fly, but days later, it does. So I think the car may be uploading video such as signage. For example, I was driving on roads today that were...

    Anybody bought from Taptes?

    I ordered the charger from Taptes June 10. Tracking shows that it was given to Chinas post office July 2. And when I just checked today, I found out it was cancelled July 14th. I just emailed Taptes to find out whats going on.

    Anyone know how to remove cover over radiator/A.C. condenser?

    I released clips on the upper part of the cover and can peer in enough to see a bunch of dead bugs/fuzz. I want to completely remove the cover so I can clean, but not sure how to release the bottom part of the cover?

    First week of ownership quality issues

    I picked up my vehicle 2 weeks ago and also had a loose plastic skirt on one side. I just pushed it back in and it hasnt come loose. You might want to look under the lower trunk liner. On my car there were 7 strips of aluminum backed butyl damper that had not been properly pressed into...

    Solved: wind noise

    Has anyone tried using black silicone squeezed out of a tube to seal the crack between the fender and A pillar instead of a rubber tube? Just mask off with tape along the joint first, squirt in the silicone, smooth with your finger and then remove the tape. I did this with my last car and it...
