I was sorting out my parking meter change (yes, there are still coin-fed meters in service in many back-water locations) on the top of the flip-up lid of the console just ahead of the two drink holders in my 2019 M3, when I accidentally touched the forward edge. The lid popped open and several...

Recently we were away for a month and left our 2019 Model 3 locked in our garage, on charge (80%). Our neighbor looked in once or twice weekly to see that all was well. About two weeks into our absence while we were aboard a cruise ship in the Mediterranean, I received either a text or an email...

The screen on my M3 has recently started to show the location of local parks with green, tree-shaped icons - I have not seen this before and I cannot figure out how to switch them off and on. What's the process? Thanks Murray C.

I have always kept the pressure (when cold) on all four of the 235/45R18 tires of my 2019 M3 dual motor at 42 psi (290 kPa), as recommended in the manual and on the door jam stickers. This morning I had the tires rotated at a Tesla facility. When I picked up the car the technician said that...

Re: brake fluid - the manual (2019 M3 dual motor - 40,000 kms) recommends inspection and replacement if needed every two years. Can this be extended if necessary? Can it be done by a trusted non-Tesla service facility? Re: cabin filter - if the filter is purchased from Tesla, how difficult is...

And how do you go about doing that? The manual indicates the path to be Controls > Safety & Security >Tilt/Intrusion, but on my 2019 M3 I don't see Tilt /Intrusion, even if I make sure that Sentry is not on as several posts have indicated. After I select Controls, I see only Safety, not Safety &...

Tomorrow I am taking my first ferry ride since acquiring my 2019 M3. I note the mention in the Owner's manual of a Tilt/Intrusion setting, which according to the manual, is accessed as follows: Controls > Safety & Security > Tilt/Intrusion. I cannot seem to access Tilt/Intrusion. I also note...

How do I change my home address on the Tesla mobile app?

My concern is the potential damage to the window seals and the windows themselves if there was no 12v power, without which the windows would not drop those few mms when the door opened. The damage might occur when the door was closed. And yes, I do recognize that if this was a life-threatening...

Several clarifications requested: i) what damage might occur when using the manual front door release on a 2019 M3 in an emergency situation? ii) is it correct to assume that the caution message that is supposed to appear on the screen could not be displayed if the 12v battery is dead? iii) if...

If I don't wish to download a software upgrade, how do I prevent the notice from showing up every time the screen wakes up? It will not go away unless I proceed with the download.

Thank you both. Yes, I do mean 8:00 pm to 7;00 am - whoops! Each unit has its own dedicated circuitry. The charger was installed by a certified electrician when I moved here and approved by the strata at that time - this new bylaw for the complex has just been introduced. The charger is inside...

My thanks to GtiMart, ATPMSD, and LoudMusic for your input. Just to review - my audience: the strata council in my townhome complex; they have very limited knowledge and/or exposure to EVs their concern: the council is worried that EV chargers will somehow overload the strata lot's electrical...

A recent development - a peculiar 'moaning' noise periodically emanating from the dashboard area of my M3 dual motor. It is most often audible when slowly rolling over a raised section of roadway, such as a small speed bump or a slightly raised section of pavement. I don't believe it originates...

I am trying to explain to the strata council in my townhouse complex that my ChargePoint level two charger requires a minimal amount of electricity to maintain the desired level of charge on my M3 once it is achieved. How do I best make my case?

How can we as owners make suggestions to Tesla for common sense changes such as (much) larger touchscreen fonts to show current range/percentage of charge, and for the clock? For my 2019 M3 it is not only a matter of convenience, but much more importantly SAFETY. Twitter messages are apparently...

When there is an AC power outage in my home, should I leave my Level 2 Charge Point charger plugged into my 2019 Model 3? Will it discharge the battery, or will the charge level remain the same until power is restored? I understand that there is always a marginal amount of the battery's power...

Appreciate your time folks - thanks for setting me straight.

Could someone please walk me through setting up media streaming via Wi-Fi on my M3. Please assume (correctly) that I am an absolute luddite on such matters. Much obliged. Murray C.

Thanks all for your help - much obliged. This may well turn out to be one of those "everyone but me already knew this" moments, but I was pleased to stumble upon the fact that I could use voice command to quickly (and therefore safely) access both the trip/odometer info and the tire pressure...

Whoops - just realized I noted that tapping the left-hand rotating switch on the steering wheel will bring up the voice command icon (the microphone) - it is the right-hand rotating switch. Sorry for the confusion. Murray C.

And for heaven's sake, let's make the clock readout a click or two larger while we're at it! Murray C.

Having the same difficulties - the target area is now slightly indented and it takes several tries to get it right. I'd rather not be that unnecessarily distracted and/or have to work so hard. The easiest (and safest) solution is to use voice command to call up the cards - the permanent...

Subsequent to recent update 2020.48.26 I cannot locate several icons/functions on my M3 touchscreen: - microphone icon for executing voice commands ( I assume this can also still be done by pressing the right scroll button?) - trip setting/resetting; formerly swept in from the "cards" area...

Copied below is my recently message sent to ChargePoint customer support. "Installed ChargePoint level two home charger in my garage four years ago to charge my first EV, a BMWi3. Now driving a Tesla Model 3 - charging function works well; however, Tesla has a setting to limit max charge (I set...

Thanks jj - very helpful! It seldom snows here in Southern British Columbia (especially in balmy Victoria on Vancouver Island), but the temperature over the last few weeks has been dipping abnormally. My first EV was an i3, and although I was aware that having a full charge on board affected the...

My thanks to JulienW, KenC,towndrunk, and all the others who took the time to read my thread. One more request if I may - has anyone else dealing with the same situation had success as I did with toggling back and forth from Strong to Low and back to Strong (once only)? I might also add that...

Over the last few days, my 2019 Model 3 Dual Motor AWD has been intermittently displaying a message indicating reduced regenerative braking. It is set to "Standard" and I was quite certain that I could not feel a difference, and eventually the message would disappear. I am aware that this is...

Thanks folks for taking the time to respond. A question about Walk-Away Door Locking: It's a great feature that I will no doubt use much of the time, but I anticipate wanting to turn it off in some situations. However, even when I toggle off the feature, it continues to function - not locking...

Hoping we can get a bit of help with some questions about the Tesla Mobile App. As new owners of a pre-owned 2019 Model 3 dual motor AWD, we've used the app very little to date, and we appreciate your patience and understanding. My wife and I both have our own Tesla accounts and have the mobile...

Thank you Mr. Duck - found it (with your help)! Murray C.

Thanks for your response. I've looked everywhere, but cannot locate the toggle. Could you please walk me through it? I appreciate your time. Best regards. Murray C.

Is it possible to change the clock on my 2019 model 3 from 24 to 12 hour format?
