    Using only the camera turn signal when changing lanes

    I find the rear view visibility to be poor in the MY. I have a M3P, but drive a MYP sometimes. The rear view mirror is next to useless since the rear window is so short. I use multivex side mirrors (they stick on the Tesla mirrors) I have used multivex mirrors in all my cars for many year...

    CCS Adapter Support

    I added CCS support to my 2019 M3P myself. It wasn't very hard. The guide I used said to cut power to the whole car. I made the mistake of letting the door close after doing that. The door handles are not physically connected to the door lock so you cannot open the doors with no power...

    Expired Front bumper from 2020 Red Model 3 [Expired]

    The bumper is wrapped and taped up. Can you come to Albuquerque and pick it up? Otherwise not worth unwrapping it yet.

    Bumper grill mesh

    I have something like this as well. Saved my butt when I was behind a hay truck and bunch of hay clogged the mesh. I figured it out when the A/C wasn't working well in 100+ degrees temperatures in Boise.

    I did the impossible yesterday. I locked myself out of my Plaid!

    I replace the battery on a regular basis, but if it did die the keyfob works via RFID as well, no power required.

    I did the impossible yesterday. I locked myself out of my Plaid!

    I just use the Tesla keyfob and don't use my phone as a key for the car. I've never had a problem.

    Elon Musk and others urge AI pause, citing 'risks to society'

    I haven't read the document, but it is puzzling to me that the top minds in AI (If they actually are the "top minds") would be concerned about something that isn't truly intelligent. I have used ChatGPT and it isn't even close to a true AI. Neither is Tesla's attempt at self-driving.

    Elon Musk and others urge AI pause, citing 'risks to society'

    Elon is right. AI could be very dangerous. Unfortunately we are not even close to creating real AI, so he is creating fearmongering over nothing.

    Model 3 brake system is not responding causing bumper-to-bumper accident slow speed

    Can't Tesla look at the logs from the car and tell exactly which pedal he was pressing when the accident occurred?

    MyQ Issues

    I've had it beep a couple of times indicating it was closing the garage door, but the door never closed. Annoying. They should not charge for this service until it works 100% of the time.

    MyQ Issues

    The auto close is working for me now 90% of the time. The auto open works 95% of the time. I will not pay for it after the free trial since it is not reliable.

    Passing Lane Mirror Signal

    I use the multivex type mirrors from Alibaba. They eliminate the blind spot.

    Big difference between the range and predicted mileage

    I recently did a 1300 mile drive in cold conditions and I found the TRIP range was 5-10% off. It really gives wacky predictions in the first few minutes of driving after super charging. On one leg it predicted 6% battery left to start and I ended up with 20%. It changed that prediction a few...

    Big difference between the range and predicted mileage

    The lesson here is don't believe the expected miles provided to you by Tesla. It is just B.S. Switch to using battery percentage instead and figure out what your range is on your own.

    Is it possible to get 250 miles on the interstate with a 2022 M3P?

    This is about what I get as well in the winter with a 2019 M3P. At 80 mph, my range max is 175 miles.

    Is it possible to get 250 miles on the interstate with a 2022 M3P?

    Albuquerque has two superchargers now and the new one in Uptown is 250 kW with lots of charging stalls.

    Will Tesla Switch my existing Model Y order into a Model 3 if I change my mind?

    My nephew recently changed his order from a MYLR to a MYP and they let him do it. They also gave him the price the MYP was back when he did his order in May. Hope this info helps.

    Auto high beams - am I doing something wrong?

    I'm not sure how wide-spread this auto high beam issue is? Should we be opening support tickets with Tesla about this issue?

    Auto high beams - am I doing something wrong?

    My 2019 M3P insists on having auto high beams on when using partial AP. Last night it kept the high beams on most of the time causing oncoming drivers to flash me. If I turn the auto high beams off, the PAP turns it right back on. Unless I was close to a car I was approaching, the high beams...

    OEM CCS adapter now available to order in North America, Retrofit for older cars coming in 2023

    It was $25. Seemed kinda pricey. No idea how much it would have been at a Supercharger.

    OEM CCS adapter now available to order in North America, Retrofit for older cars coming in 2023

    I let my charge go down to 16% in my 2019 M3P and did a test charge at a EA 150 KW CCS charger. I got a 138 KW charge rate at first. I went from 16% charge to 91% charge in 40 minutes. It was just a test.

    Flat tire out of warranty options

    I have all three. I have *never* had more than one flat tire at once. It could happen, but very improbable.

    Flat tire out of warranty options

    I bought a spare matching wheel for my M3P after I got a little curb rash on one wheel. I keep the wheel with the curb rash in the garage and will take it on any long trips. Good insurance imo. I also have a air compressor and a tire repair kit in the car.

    OEM CCS adapter now available to order in North America, Retrofit for older cars coming in 2023

    I did the retrofit of the new charging ECU. The main issue is having the doors and trunk open before disconnecting the relay for the main battery otherwise you can lock yourself out. I had an error code to start and once I did the software update from Tesla, it works fine with CCS charging...

    HW3.0 upgrade for basic AP owners now free?

    From what I have read on here, radar is disabled now on all the M3's. If this is incorrect, please let us know.

    Tesla model 3 doesn’t start - bms contactor state open [Salvage - air bags were deployed on vehicle]

    If Tesla was training mechanics to work on their cars and providing auto shops the same access to parts that the Tesla service centers then I would agree with you, but as far as I know they aren't. Tesla is the only option for repair for us. If I get in an accident, then my car is essentially...

    So what are you doing different? I'm using a Anker card reader with a high speed sdcard.

    2019 M3P 6 Month Review

    I recently switched to formatting my sdcard using the ext4 filesystem. I read on this forum that helps get rid of the issue with having to reformat the sdcard on a regular basis. It has only been 3 days, so not sure if this fix will stop the problem, but so far, so good. I love my M3P too!

    No ETA. Just said they are working on it. My cruise control, etc has been working fine since that one day glitch. They are still supposed to come out tomorrow, but not sure why.

    Traffic Visualization suddenly not working

    I spoke to Tesla support and they said it is a software issue with the latest build and next build should fix it. Lesson learned. Wait on installing new builds. Has Tesla heard of software testing?

    Same problem here. I have a service call scheduled for Thursday.

    Cruise control unavailable

    This just happened to me today in my 2019 M3P. It also will not see the sdcard. Says there is a mounting issue. I reformatted the sdcard. Same problem. I rebooted the car, nothing. I think I recently did a software update a day or two ago. It's annoying. I will try removing the sdcard...

    [2022] Damaged sway bar bushing & sheared bolt

    I think a metal skid plate would have stopped this damage, correct? I haven't under my car in a while.

    I'm thinking of putting 18" wheels on my M3P. Traction question

    That is not much gap at all. Looks great thanks. I couldn't source reasonably priced light weight 18's and got a nail in my 20" tire, so I already bought 4 new very expensive 20's. I will keep the 18's in mind for next time I need tires.

    That's too bad. They work fine. Last review for them on Amazon was in January 2020.

    Best speed for road trips?

    Zero phantom braking in my 2019 M3P on the road trips I have been on.

    Best speed for road trips?

    Ok, great! It is not a mistake especially when you have just bought your first Tesla. The mistake is poor programming by Tesla. Having to monitor SoC shouldn't have to be done if the software is written correctly.

    It would be nice if it took the wind into account.

    Best speed for road trips?

    I had an issue last year going from Flagstaff to Gallup. I was driving at 79 mph. The car said I would make it to Gallup, but started telling me to slow down to 70 mph, then 65, then 55... Needless to say I was a bit stressed out. I had a 50 amp RV adapter in the car and was thinking about...

    How to get your Model 3 on jack stands without any special tools

    Do some searches on this forum about stress fractures in the M3's roof. Look up RemmStands too and then you will understand how to get the car up on jack stands. As for Dolemite, you refuse to explain how you managed to damage your jack points, so no picts. It seems like you like to bad mouth...

    How to get your Model 3 on jack stands without any special tools

    I'm waiting for my second set of wheels to get new tires on them right now. I don't like the idea of jacking up the M3 from just one jackpoint. I'm worried that body flex could break the glass roof. I have read multiple reports of roofs cracking. No one seems quite sure how their roof...

    How to get your Model 3 on jack stands without any special tools

    I'm bringing the wheels over to Discount Tire to have new tires mounted. It would be less trouble to take all four wheels at once. They are only 10 minutes away, so no biggie.
