I got the free trial two days ago and I'm very surprised at how bad the acceleration and deceleration is. When I drive, there are plenty of times where I'm heavy-footed... but not when my wife's in the car. She doesn't like it and feels unwell from the acceleration. My braking is pretty smooth...

Is there a canonical resource for resolving suspension creeking? I had both front and rear suspension work done in 2023 under warranty. My car is no longer under the basic limited warranty and is creeking really badly at this time. It creeks when turning the wheel and when driving on uneven...

I heard through "the grapevine" that Tesla is opening a service center in Buffalo, NY across from the gigafactory at 1339 South Park Ave, Buffalo, NY 14220. It's not listed on tesla.com under "Find Us", and I'm skeptical. Does anyone know if this is true?

Is it possible to remove a wall connector from the app? My wall connector doesn't have a good connection to my WiFi. While adding it to the app, something didn't go right. Likely caused by lack of connectivity, the wall connector no longer charged my car. I *think* what happened is that I...

In the service menu of my Model 3 it says VCLEFT_a296_buckleFaultedRearC. See screenshot. My basic warranty is up in about 400 miles, but the service center is 1.5 hours each way plus wait time. Would you bring it in for service for this, or just let it go?

Just wanted to post this in case anyone else runs into the same issue. My wheels have recently been making a clicking sound. First it was the left side of the vehicle. I looked thoroughly but couldn't find anything in the treads that would be making the noise (plus it didn't quite sound like...

Intermittently my car doesn't adjust my seat position. My wife and I both drive the car. I'll walk up and get in car (alone) and the phone as key will work, and it'll switch to my profile, but it won't adjust the seat. I have to reselect my profile for it to adjust the seat. I'm on 2023.12.5...

I have a service appointment next week and was considering buying a 12v battery while there as a backup. My Model 3 is 2.5 years old. The service center is a 1.5 hour drive, and when the battery does die it'd be a whole lot easier if I had a spare already. Has anyone else done this? Is it bad...

This is a tricky topic to search because of the name of Ford's truck, but I was unable to find any threads confimring this concern and just wanted to hear more opinions. @jcanoe responded to a post about charging with a comment regarding lightning strikes and damage to electric vehicles. My...

My M3's GPS location on the navigation is intermittently offset, which is especially bad when getting directions... it'll give a bunch of nonsense turns to get back on the main road (even though I'm already on the main road). Additionally, several times the heat has made very loud long sound...

I brought my car in for a GPS offset issue and have a loaner... but long ago I restricted my HPWC to just my car (because... cool!). Now the HPWC doesn't seem to be advertising it's SSID nor do I remember the password. So... it'd be really nice if I could whitelist my car, but require other...

I took these out before I got in my car on delivery day... so they've never seen feet, but could use a lint roller. I replaced them with all weather mats. I think these are dangerous, they can curl up and press against the accelerator. Can't believe people are selling them for $75. Anyway...

OTA software updates are a double-edged sword... on one hand we may get new features and improvements on our vehicles, but on the other hand sometimes updates introduce bugs or cause other problems. On my 7 hour drive home from picking up my Model 3, a PT sensor failed. This left us with no...

I've done a handful of in state and multi-state long distance drives in my Model 3 in my 24 months of ownership. I've come to very much trust the "guessometer", although I still play it slightly conservative on long hauls. Today, I experienced something very different. The nav directed us to...

Can anyone confirm whether or not a US resident can bring their Tesla to a Canadian service center? I thought I read somewhere that they won't provide service to US residents, but I'm unable to find it right now.

My wife (soon to be walking wife 🤪) gouged the steering wheel due to wearing a ring on her left hand (soon to be removed forcefully 😂). I'm unable to actually *see* any damage, but I can feel it. Whereas once the wheel was entirely smooth, now there's a textured area, probably 2-3 inches long...

"Enjoy a light show" "Try using auto high beams" "Enable Auto Steer (beta)" Is anyone else less than excited about the occasional "advertisement" that's displayed where the cards are?

My M3LR has 37.5k miles and the rear right tire has wire mesh sticking out of the inner most tread. This is already my 2nd set of tires, I replaced the first at about 9k miles because of inside tread wear and feathering on both rear tires. I started feeling slight vibration at about 2k miles...

When I purchased my M3 two years ago, the climate controls were the bee's knees. Being able to start both heating and cooling from the phone and having the interior temperature heat or cool so quickly meant never getting into an oven or icebox again. Fast-forward two years and it's all hogwash...

Occasionally, I'd like the navigation to direct me to a common franchise business without having to choose one from the list. For instance, "Navigate to the closest Starbucks". This way I don't need to take my eyes off the road just to choose the top item. Sadly, that command doesn't work. Does...

Fairly frequently I'm parked in the car after dropping off a passenger. At those times I usually prefer to shut off the lights, both headlights and interior. Does anyone know of an easy way to accomplish this? Opening and closing the charge port shuts the headlights off, but has the downside...

I noticed an ad on this site for "The Tesla Program"... it was so vague what they were selling that I couldn't resist. First ad I've clicked on in centuries. Then I land on their website and this: LOL at the micro and nano packages. Would *not* trust these folks with any job that requires...

The topmost Google ads and the header images don't have defined dimensions in the page, so the browser only knows how tall they are once they've been downloaded. Because of this, seconds after the page loads it gets redrawn and all of the links kick down a good 50px. It actually happens...

I can appreciate that TMC has a native app and wants to promote it, but I'm one of those users that don't install apps. I'll never install it, and yet I visit the website very frequently. The ad banner for the app is ruining the website experience for me. It's good that it closes, but it just...

Sure, most of you may be adults and so no longer play video games (especially in your car), but I'm hooked on Skyforce Reloaded. Unfortunately, the game is sometimes laggy. In a shmup like Skyforce, lag will always happen at the very worst moment. It typically results in thinking I'm skirting...

I haven't yet seen a binary mobile connector poll, and I think this might be helpful to better gauge Tesla's current decision not to include them. Please note: this isn't a poll about whether you *want* one, or how strongly you feel about keeping one in the trunk for emergencies. It's...

This morning the app showed the snowflake icon (cold soaked overnight), yet the interior temperature was 94F. Sure seems like a missed opportunity. It'd be nice if the HVAC system reversed the fans and sucked that heat into the battery compartment. As it stands I'm going to roll down the...

There are posts that discuss replacement of the high voltage battery, and invoices from Tesla seem to show something like 11 hours of labor. That seems like a *lot* of time to me. I imagined they could just get the car on a lift, drop the battery, slap the replacement in, and close it up. Maybe...

Like many owners, I'm very dissatisfied with the current state of the software in my vehicle and would like to get back the good thing I once had. When it first happened and the complaints started rolling in, I held onto a glimmer of hope because "certainly Tesla will see all the complaints and...

I couldn't find these mentioned, my apologies if they are duplicates. On Android Chrome, the bottom nav jitters while scrolling. I haven't checked, but it seems to imply that it's anchored using JavaScript and absolute positioning. Also, header images and the top ad placeholder don't seem to...

I've had the M3 for almost a year. Since the last update, I've had the music volume blast at 100% on 3 different occasions. This has never happened before the latest update. Each time, I pressed the left scroll wheel to play the music and when it started, it was on full blast. It's incredibly...

Since the two most recent updates to my M3, it seems like my average wh/m has dropped. It could be unrelated to the updates, but had me thinking. The warranty (at the time of this post) covers the battery for 8 years or 120k miles (whichever comes first) with a minimum 70% battery retention. If...

I'm curious to know what others do with their sentry event videos. I've found myself reviewing and deleting each recorded sentry event each time I get in the car, just because I don't want to "miss" something. My last car received two mystery dings in the door that I kept for years until I...

Climate control seems much worse to me after this update. Does anyone else feel this is way? "Auto" used to control the fan speed based on the desired temp... but now it seems to keep the fan very low. It also now disables the forward blowing fans and keeps the heat on the floor. This is...

My M3 started vibrating at around 3k miles, and I replaced the OEM tires at around 8k miles due to feathering and inside tread wear, assuming that was the cause of the vibration. Unfortunately, the new tires didn't solve the vibration. I'm now at around 17k miles and the place I had the tires...

I swear this seams like an article from The Onion... so strange. Please tell me I'm not imaging it: GM says it will double annual revenue by 2030 to $280 billion in digital push to be seen more like Tesla The article goes on to say "The two-day investor meeting, including product test drives on...

I'm baffled that the most recent update included new icons for the browser, as well as a loading screen, yet somehow they managed to not fix the icon positioning. It's a glaringly obvious UI fail... the close and back buttons are *so* close to each other. All of the other icons have a healthy...

The idea popped into my head today of using some sort of Bluetooth relay devices to unlock a Tesla. Thief A stands near your car, thief B stands near you (in the mall, grocery store, etc), each with a device that relays the Bluetooth exchange between your phone and vehicle. After a bit of...

Howdy Y'all. I got my M3 exactly 5 months ago, and for the first 3ish months it drove like a magical unicorn. Then it developed a bit of wheel vibration, so I made an appointment at the closest service center (12 days of waiting, 1.5 hour drive to the SC). I finally got to the appointment...

I've only just noticed a referral within my account that I'm completely unfamiliar with. It's from before I even ordered by M3. Was this me referring them, or them referring me? Is there a way to know who it was and if there were any incentives I gained from it?

In emissions testing mode in my M3, the whoopie cushion moves to whatever seat you press, but the sound is "stuck" at the first seat pressed (unless you go *real* slow). I'm not concerned about emissions testing mode, but that there may be a wiring problem or other issue with my sound system...

I've read many posts of owners claiming the premium sound system in their M3 is the "bees knees" for stock audio. I don't consider myself an audiophile, but my 2021 M3LR just doesn't seem to sound all that good. I just chalked it up to difference of opinion. THEN... today I got a loaner from...

Please forgive me if there are already threads about this... I searched but really didn't know what to call it. I've had my M3LR for almost 4 months now and it's great. Sometimes, when I feel it's safe to do so, I'll really floor it when the light turns green. Twice in the past few weeks...
