My homelink works fine most of the time, but then on occasion “there are no homelink enabled garage doors near your vehicle.” This happens at totally random times. If I physically go into the car and hit the homelink button, the gate opens without issue. What could be causing this?

I just had an attempted carjacking done on me. Unfortunately, I had just pulled the usb because I got into an accident and needed to download the video. My understanding is there is internal memory. I honked during the carjacking to ensure I got it recorded. When I click on the dashcam icon, it...

I got rear ended and got a small crack in my M3 bumper. Getting an official Tesla owned body shop to deal with it is a huge pain. For a small crack, do I really need anything but a normal body shop, or are there bumper sensors in M3 2018 that could be damaged if not done by an expert? I suspect...

I have a 2018 M3 and an Iphone 13 pro max. The former is on the latest beta, the latter is on the latest OS. This issue has been going on for over a year, traversing many different updates on both the car and the phone. My car connects via BT without issue. I can open the car with the phone...

I am on 2022.36.20. I read that Tesla just dropped an update that allows owners do see a live feed inside the cabin, which would be useful to me on an upcoming road trip with my dog. Since I'm on the beta, will I not have this option?

Over the last month, my M3 keeps having issues with BT calls and commands involving my iPhone 13 Pro Max. Roughly 70% of the time, callers cannot hear me but I can hear them. Sometimes the calls don't come through my speakers at all. When I use iphone voice commands through the car, like trying...

I'm wondering how to properly program my homelink for my condo complex. When I arrive home I can get it to auto open. But I park about 40 feet into the underground garage, which means the location it needs to trigger when I exit is different than where I enter. What's the best solution?

I'm purchasing a 300w, 80,000maH power station for camping at a festival. There is no power at the festival to charge it. I'll have my Tesla with me, though. Roughly how much Tesla battery would it use to charge this device?

I'm having issues with my keyfob. I was getting a low battery warning even after changing the battery. I then decided to get a completely fresh pack of batteries, which made that message go away, but the keyfob works a couple times then stops working. I've tried 5 different batteries and...

Hi, I'm going to be camping for 4 days in my Model 3 and I'm wondering if anyone who's tested some M3 mattresses can give me a recommendation. I see there are products like Tesmat, Tescamp, Dreamcase and a host of air mattresses. I'm 5'8 and a side sleeper. My understanding is that the...

I've seen some reviews of sleeping overnight in a Tesla in cold weather, but what about blazing hot weather? I'm going to a three day festival in Pal Springs with average outside Temps of 110 degrees. I am interested in car camping, but there are no outlets. If I keep the car at 72 degrees for...

I had a Tesla Charger installed in my condo parking spot. There's a cement wheel barrier that prevents my car from backing into the way where the charger is affixed. Had an inspection today and it won't pass unless I have the electrician install a wall guard. The inspector said this is now being...

I have the new Tesla wall connector installed (gen 3), connected to wifi. I'd like to know how many kwh it's using so I know how much additional electricity it's using on my electric bill. I don't see a way to do this in the app, which seems odd considering it's wifi connected. Is there a way...

I have a M3 LR with PS4s. Last week, the tire pressure light went on, flagging one of my tires. Today, two others were flagged. Those three are all at 39 PSI. what is the proper inflation level in Los Angeles, where driving temperatures in the winter rarely go below 55 degrees?

I'm sure this has been explained before, but there are so many long threads that I thought I'd just straight up ask for a clear explanation. My understanding is that when you file a bug on the non-beta fsd Tesla, Tesla never reviews this information, and thus, the car's ability to navigate on...

I wonder if the FSD beta will be pushed to Los Angeles cars in the next couple weeks? Seems like the current beta is in good shape, and given that Tesla has a large LA fleet, it'd make sense to drop it here first. Hopefully they don't wait months to provide the update, especially after raising...

Know this is a longshot, but is there someone with the FSD beta willing to go up and down either Laurel or Coldwater Canyon in LA to see how it performs? In the current fsd iteration, it's extremely dangerous. My car goes over the double line into oncoming traffic regularly. It reads stop signs...

For those of you LA drivers who've tried Autopilot on Laurel Canyon, do you find it to be absolutely atrocious? I've tried it numerous times, and the car goes over the very clearly marked lines, often trying to veer into opposing traffic. It sometimes even tries to drive into a wall on the side...

Hi, I'm looking to get new tires this week and the shop with the best warranty has the Michelin pilot Sport A/S 4 in-stock, but the CrossClimate+ needs to be ordered. The tire store salesman said that the CC+ is great for rain and snow, but for LA driving, the pilot Sport A/S 4 is perfect...

I have a M3 RWD with 18" wheels. The car has 20k miles on it and I am the 2nd owner. The back tires are down to the tread bar and need to be replaced. The Michelin site says these tires are warranties to 45k. Has anyone had luck getting their money back? Or will I be precluded from doing so...

Hi, I believe in CA, it's illegal to have tint on the front windows. There are plenty of people who do it anyway, but I'm wondering the insurance company's responsibility to reimburse in the event of an accident. Let's say you are at-fault for an accident and there's major damage and/or...

I'm trying to select Dog Mode, but it is grayed out. I have over 20% battery. What's the issue?

I've noticed that I lose about 3 miles of battery overnight. I don't have sentry mode on, but do have a USB installed to record my cameras. Is it normal for the battery to drain like this overnight even though the car is shut off?

Had a mobile tech service booked for today out of the Burbank SC. They sent a confirmation email a few days ago, then I get to the appt window today and check the app. My appt moved another week without warning. I contacted the Burbank center, but the phone rings incessantly. I contacted...

I was on Autopilot today on a city street and I'm not sure what I was supposed to do in this situation. My car was approaching a mail truck that was double parked, but as I got closer, the car wasn't making any attempt to veer. I ended up taking control and swerving, but how would one know if...

I just bought a used M3 with 20k miles. I had it inspected and was told the rear wheel tread was down to the tire tread bar, which meant I had about 10-15k miles left before needing a change. I brought it to a tire store today to have the car aligned because it was veering to the right. They...

Wondering if anyone has made the LA to Vegas trip with a 2018 M3 LR, starting at 100%. It's 267 miles, but my car is rated for 310. Of course, there are major temp changes along the route, especially in the summer where it goes from 80 in LA to 110 in Vegas. But I'm wondering if anyone has ever...

I parked my car for about 15 minutes this morning. Had Sentry mode off, but dashcam recordings on. When I went to review my last drive, I noticed that not only was my driving recorded, but also the 25 minutes where my car sat parked and turned off. I imagine this uses battery. Is there a reason...

I noticed that my car doesn't give me any chime warning as I parallel park into a space and am about to hit a curb. I have a Lexus Suv that does this, so it caught me by surprise when I heard my car crush against the curb. What's the best way to parallel park in this car (manually)? I followed...

I'm new to the M3 and struggling with the "hands on the wheel" warning. If I notice it early, it seems that the warning goes away with very little pressure. As a few seconds go by and I put my hands on the wheel to try to eliminate the warning by moving the wheel back and forth, it doesn't turn...

Got my model 3 today and I have to say, it really scared me to be on FSD. It constantly made dangerous mistakes. I was on the LA freeways, ones that I'm sure Teslas frequent and it was super erratic. It constantly hugs the line to the point where when in the left lane, close to the barrier, it...

I live in a condo and the gate only open if a car is within about 10 feet of it. When I approach the gate from the road, it opens fine. My parking spot is about 5 feet from the gate opener, so when I back out to leave, and then drive forward, the gate doesn't automatically open. Any ideas how...

On my Lexus, when I am going backward or forward slowly and it starts in increase its alert sound until you are just about to hit an object, at which time it makes a flatline sound. It's really helpful. In my M3, I can barely hear any chime when I back up or go forward and am approaching an...

Got my model 3 today, but when I go into my account and get to the purchase screen for premium connectivity, I get a error message saying "Something went wrong. Please try again later." My billing address hasn't been entered yet, which is likely the problem. But when I try to enter it and click...

I'm taking ownership of a private seller's Tesla tomorrow. I have a Tesla account and I am trying to add the vehicle to it via the website. It asks for my address, but the car isn't registered to me yet. I won't have the registration or title for weeks since I had to pay off the seller's lien...

I am buying a M3 LR from a private seller and installing a Tesla wall charger. I've read some threads on here saying it took months to receive their unit. I live in Los Angeles. Can I just walk in a store and buy one? The car isn't registered in my name yet, but I assume they'll sell me a...

I live in an LA neighborhood with limited street parking. On my street is a FLO charger hooked to a street light. Seems perfect for overnight charging (assuming you can charge for 10 straight hours). Because of the limited parking, I often see gas cars in these residential street parking ev...

Hi, I live in a condo complex where each unit has its own circuit breaker and meter. When I look in the electrical room, I see a switch sticking out of a box with the number "60" on it. I assume this means I have a 60 amp breaker. If I want to install a Tesla wall charger or a 14-50 plug, do I...

I'm in CA and found a Tesla from a private seller that is immaculate. Today, the seller told me the car has a lien on it, so he doesn't have the pink slip. He's going to use the money from the sale to pay off the lien. I understand that he may not have $40k on hand to pay off a loan, but from a...

Hi, I'm buying a M3 from a private seller and then driving 250 miles from LA to Vegas. My understanding is that it takes a few days for Tesla to add the car to my account. How do I go about supercharging my car during this journey if my car isn't associated with the app? Also, separate...

Hi, I'm looking into purchasing a private sale M3. I'd like to get it inspected prior to buying. I found a mobile inspector, but I'm wondering if there is a Tesla certified mobile inspector I should be asking to look at the car as opposed to someone who covers all kinds of cars. This is in...
