I may be an outlier, but I'm glad that my 30 day FSD trial ended. I enabled it just to try at the beginning, but turned it off after a few uses. What would not turn off was the enhanced lane change when I was in autosteer; I wasn't all that wild about that either. At the end of the trial. all...

I want to refresh my ‘20 M3LR interior a little bit, changing the carbon fiber look to matte black. When I bought it 4 years ago, I installed ABS caps on the dash trim and console. They went down with 3M tape. While I live in Phoenix, the car pretty much lives undercover. Any suggestions of how...

I know we drive big computers on wheels, but this one smacks of a software engineer with a sense of humor! This morning I attempted to verbally tell my car to set the temperature to 69°. It set it at 70° I repeated the command with the same result. I told it to set it the 68°. It set 68°. I told...

I had my power trunk retrofit installed in December. I just went through having the console CANBUS connector disconnected, so my HVAC and charging would return to normal. All has been well until today. The trunk stopped opening completely. The button on the trunk lid would wake the car and the...

I've been chasing windows squeaking against weatherstrip when it rains (rare in Phoenix!) I've cleaned them and lubed with pure silicone spray; no joy. Has anyone been more successful? Thanks in advance for suggestions. 😎

This transition certainly will be interesting to watch unfold. And yes, I mean both definitions of "interesting"! https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/07/our-big-unanswered-questions-about-the-switch-to-tesla-style-ev-plugs/ 😎

We just returned from a week in the Colorado mountains, driving an M3 from Hertz. For those that haven't done it based on the FUD out there, our experience was pretty much flawless. A few things to keep in mind: 1) Make sure the charging cable and adapter are in the frunk. Hertz will charge you...

I am getting the dreaded 12 V battery errors with my Ohmmu battery. The link that I have to reset it on the Ohmmu site is dead. Does anybody have the procedure they can post for me? Thanks in advance!

Wow! https://electrek.co/2023/05/02/brand-new-tesla-roadsters-found-container-over-decade/

On two upcoming vacations, we plan to rent an M3 from Hertz. How they charge for Supercharging appears to be a closely-held secret, as 3 calls to them netted 3 completely off-the-wall answers (my personal fave was they charge $35 every time I plug into a SC, no matter how much energy I take)...

This took some serious coordination!

HAL decided to have a little fun with me yesterday. When I got into the car in my garage, all looked normal, but when I attempted to go into reverse... nada. Then the display goes black, followed by the "T", After booting, the car became drivable, but I noticed all sort of settings were gone...

Their first stop should have been a casino! https://www.notateslaapp.com/news/1266/tesla-model-3-exhibits-impressive-safety-in-tree-crushing-video

At 22k miles, HAL needs new shoes. WTF? All 4 wearing evenly, just right at (mostly) 4/32. This is not a post about why, it’s about my saving some serious coin on 4 Michelin PSP4 AS’s. I had just decided between those and the Crossclimate2 and was ordering from Discount, when the bell went off...

Having already done 2 cabin air filter swaps, I am well familiar with the funky smell that a moldy evaporator can cause. I had a weird experience today. I’d left HAL parked with camp mode set to 60f. (I had take- home restaurant food and needed to make a 30 minute stop.) At the time, the OAT was...

I’ve always wished that the recirc setting I select (off in my case), would stick. Until a few weeks ago, that wish was left unfulfilled. I just noticed that I don’t have to keep turning it off; it appears to now be sticky! YAY!

Hi All, I've been hearing a cyclic clicking noise coming from the frunk area for about 10 minutes after I park. A Tesla tech (he was here for another reason) heard it, he said "normal", it's the ac compressor. I'm not ready to buy that one yet. I have two recordings from my iPhone where the...

We have all seen the myriad posts about how Tesla service sucks. I'd like to share the opposite: A mobile tech came to our home today to replace both fogs lights (crazed) and a leaky tail light. As long as he was here, I asked him to look at a rattle in my ps B pillar. I was able to reproduce...

I've had my M3LR since April. In May, I noticed that both fog lights were crazed on the inside. Tesla replaced both. In late August, the new ones had done the same thing. The mobile tech just left after replacing both (and a leaky ds tail light). He said he'd never seen this before. Anyone...

Tesla to fix rapidly dying 12v batteries with software update, Musk teases more to come - Electrek :cool:

In case anyone else out there is having this issue... Tesla is having problems with Wall Chargers 3s. I bought mine in April. Almost a month ago, I started getting an error on the LED array... one red flash, then the normal green sequence, resulting in the unit dropping from 32a to 16a. The...
