    A few issues driving me crazy - anyone can help? [User interface questions / issues]

    Wow, that did work just now. Thanks! I'll try some more but like I said, working once is likely always working. That saved so much trouble. Only issue was that the first couple times I tried to turn on voice command (the right button on steering wheel), it failed with displayed message...

    A few issues driving me crazy - anyone can help? [User interface questions / issues]

    Thanks again everyone for the suggestions! I'm updating the original thread for suggested solutions. -- wait, I couldn't update the original post now, maybe because it was moved to this forum? Well anyhow people reading the comments could see the proposed solutions.

    Thanks! @Randy-12 suggested command "Play songs on USB" works perfectly when I tried just now. Saves a bit more time.

    Tree leaves, mildew, rain/dirt/mold, could make replacing air filter necessary. Your not having to replace it is a blessing, but most of us probably do need to.

    A few issues driving me crazy - anyone can help? [User interface questions / issues]

    Wow, that worked just now when I tried! I'll test it a few more cases but working once probably means it always works. Thanks a lot! That solves the #1 nagging issue I have with my Model 3. Still, Tesla solving it would be better but this is a very nice workaround. Improves safety too.

    A few issues driving me crazy - anyone can help? [User interface questions / issues]

    Thanks a lot everyone! So sounds like USB music is not solvable. I also suspect as I piled more songs into it, this bug manifested more. Or their software updates made it worse. Either way they really should fix it since there's no way to copy the mp3s into internal storage, unlike what most...

    A few issues driving me crazy - anyone can help? [User interface questions / issues]

    I've been having these issues either since the start of the ownership almost 2 years ago or this year. It's getting worse so I'd like to get advice on possible solutions: The song USB drive played in the last driving session does not get played at new session. In fact, none of the USB songs...

    Just ordered Model 3, need to set up charging, recommendations?

    Can you expand on scenario? If I just be careful and make sure I always have an extra 50 miles of range not used, is there still scenario that battery might just run out and UMC turns out to be useful in such situation?

    Just ordered Model 3, need to set up charging, recommendations?

    Yeah, I don't know why the Prius Prime's heat was so slow. The seat warms up similar to other car's seats because all seat heating are electric, but the air from the outlets just won't warm up after quite a while. Good to hear that Model 3's heat is near instant. Will definitely need to try it...

    Just ordered Model 3, need to set up charging, recommendations?

    @SAR in NJ Can you let me know your electrician's info? The one place that replied to me so far was quoting $490 (NEMA) + $69 (breaker) + $150 permit to install, even though I specified that the outlet should be right at the panel (so it should be the cheapest kind of install). Sounds like yours...

    Just ordered Model 3, need to set up charging, recommendations?

    @garth_angst Winter indeed has a big effect. That's why I was thinking of Tesla a couple years ago but ended up buying Prius Prime instead, cheaper and no range anxiety. One beef I had with Prius Prime was how slow and battery bleeding heating the cabin was during winter. Probably 3-5x slower to...

    Just ordered Model 3, need to set up charging, recommendations?

    The permit is actually $150 extra, and 120V outlet also $169 extra, the tandem break is $69 extra. So total was $490+69+169+150 = $880. The $490 was for NEMA alone.

    Just ordered Model 3, need to set up charging, recommendations?

    Mis-reported. The quote I got was $490 for NEMA 14-50. The rest prices were as reported above.

    Just ordered Model 3, need to set up charging, recommendations?

    @beachsideev $200 sounds like a great deal for UMC. They seem to go for $300+ on eBay even for gen1 as I just checked. @AlexP I probably will still go with pros to install it for me, even if I could follow Youtube videos and do the install myself. My install is relatively simple - just need the...

    Just ordered Model 3, need to set up charging, recommendations?

    @TX_M3P+ So the installation was about $500 for the Wall Connector (the connector itself adds $500)? For me I'll probably use the NEMA 14-50 adapter + mobile charger for now.

    Panel photo attached. We have two zones in the house, so 2 sets of AC breakers and 2 furnace breakers.

    Just ordered Model 3, need to set up charging, recommendations?

    Thanks for your replies! I checked my panel and the inside has the model # and said it's 150 amps max (see photo below). It indeed has 240 VAC. Based on the scheme drawing, there're 10 rows for breakers but only the lower 9 rows were used. So I assume that I don't need to upgrade the panel...

    Just ordered Model 3, need to set up charging, recommendations?

    Just ordered Model 3 standard range plus (263 miles), my garage has no 240V I believe, and not sure it's 100A or 60A. I have no knowledge of electrical stuff, so will hire an electrician to do things right. I read many posts and still am a bit confused. It seems this is what I need to do/make...
