Can't say for sure that it made a difference but... The last step for me was the the final payment which arrived yesterday morning. This morning I responded to the email where my SA had asked for images of the front of the check and FedEx info asking if there was any chance that I could...

yes my 183*** VIN has both the Ryzen and Lithium Aux Battery

That's what the DCU rep told me. Of course, how would they truly know what 100% of my net is.... Regardless, it wasn't worth it to me

I got my VIN on Sunday, started DCU membership and loan application on Monday, had a rate of 1.74% approved Monday (could have gotten 1.24% if willing to direct deposit 100% of net paycheck), DCU FedEx'ed check to Tesla on Tues, it is scheduled to arrive today. So...if you start the process...

M3 glass is expensive. Your insurance provider might offer a specific glass deductible. I pay an extra $24/year to have my glass deductible at just $100.

This should be a sticky at the top of this forum section. My wife's iPhone was defaulted to 'other' and changing it to 'speaker' solved ALL the volume issues. And as you mentioned, the 'Car Stereo' option has volume issues as well. I see the ability to select the device type was new to iOS...

She's complaining to the wrong person; most spouses can complain enough to eventually get the other to relent just to keep them quiet :-). And I agree that in your cousin's case it seems like a no brainer to get a 240 installed.

But that proves the point since your cousin has the choice. If it were enough of an inconvenience to him he would get the 240 outlet installed. Procrastination is easy if what you are procrastinating about doesn't really present a problem. I had mine installed before I took delivery. For me...

It's an Absolute Volume issue. This is a bluetooth 'volume sharing' feature that allows you to control a bluetooth device's volume with your phone and for the bluetooth device to control the phone's volume. It's supposed to simplify volume control when using bluetooth devices but my...

Yes, I would. By that I mean if I didn't have an at home option for 240V charging but did for 110V then I would still own a Tesla. If I didn't have an option for home charging of any sort there is no way in hell I would :-).

We charge over a nema-14-50 each night but we could easily get by 99% of the time over just 110/15. It's the wife's/family car and it is generally in our garage from 9pm until 11am or so most days (wife doesn't work and empty nesters). That's 14 hours where it would sip 45-60 miles of range...

Is there really no place at your TH community where you could park next to a basic 110v/15amp outlet? Even at just a 3-4 miles/hr charge rate, that would probably be enough for you based on your stated use and living/work situation. When we travel to the in-laws I charge over a 110v at their...

I think the issue with iPhones is that they don't provide separate volume controls for media, rings and alerts. iPhones only have that one volume setting under 'Sounds and Haptics'. When your iPhone connects to your Tesla (which utilizes absolute volume) I believe what is happening is the...

iPhone or Android. If Android, disable "Absolute Volume" in developer settings. If iPhone you're screwed :-).

So I discovered something interesting regarding the iPhone/Tesla volume issue. I'm driving and my wife's iPhone is connected to the stereo but she isn't playing any music. She gets a notification and it comes through VERY loudly over the stereo. I then turn the stereo volume way down via...

This just happened to my '21 and I have an appt for 9/8. How did your service appt go and was it fully covered under the warranty.

Well, 6 months was very optimistic on my part. The smell started to return in only about 5 weeks and is now pretty bad. Tesla mobile service will be here tomorrow to 'fix' at their cost again.

The tesla service center near me just wedges a little piece of high density foam btw the windshield side of the speaker grill and that little narrow strip of plastic trim. It's enough pressure to keep if from making noise, but it's a crappy 'fix' and it creates a gap btw the grill and trim...

Make sure you are buying what you think you are buying. Carvana might list it as have Enhanced Auto Pilot (EAP) but it might only have basic Auto Pilot. Or they list it as have Full Self Driving (FSD) but it does not. Perhaps they claim it's a Performance but it's just the Long Range. There...

So the PT Sensors (2 HP, 1 LP) were replaced not because of the smell issue but due to "Bulletin Replacement of A/C Pressure/Temperature Sensors". So those were just a TSB and 100% covered. The odor issue was addressed just like it is for everyone else. "A/C Odor Removal (Using Evaporator...

FWIW, my '21 M3 is only 4 months old with around 5K miles and the smell is pretty bad at startup. The car it replaced was 9 years old with 214K miles and never had a musty smell from the HVAC system. I've got a service appt for next week and they've updated my service ticket that they've...

Since you are in Dallas, I can highly recommend Roberto of Premium Wheel. He's a mobile service and does excellent work. Just send him a text with a pic and he'll give you a quote. He quoted me $75 and performed the repair at my house on a Sat morning. Roberto Avitia 214-475-1729

Dash speaker grill is notorious for rattles as well...especially on driver's side (US).

Moral of the story: document the condition of your vehicle upon arrival at a service center and don't leave the service center until after you've inspected your vehicle. At this point there is zero proof that the curb rash occurred at the shop.

I couldn't agree more. I used a mobile service that did all the work at my house. The cost was $80 (DFW) to repair the one rim that was damaged. Additional rims would have been less expensive had I damaged more than one. It took the guy about 30-45 min and the repair is perfect in all regards.

I'm just hoping you fully scoped out those public chargers near you prior to purchase. How often and at what times are they generally occupied, what is their actual current output, cost, etc. As much as I love my Model 3, if I couldn't charge overnight in my own garage I would get rid of it.

My advice is to install a NEMA 14-50 outlet in your garage. Call around and get some quotes; don't mention it's for Tesla as that doesn't matter and many electricians like to gouge for EV related installs. Depending on your panel's location the cost might not be much at all. It's well worth...

From the looks of the harness/instructions as well as knowing the dedicated molex connectors for the A pillar tweeters are no longer present in the 2021, I believe the only real differences are step 3 and 6. Instead of inserting a molex that the adapter provides into vacant plugs in the pre...

It actually does pretty well down to about 60hz and then drops off at about 15 db/octave. RTA of 2021 SR+, EQ flat, fader center, immersive sound off:

So illegal in AZ on the front windows and windshield :-).

To each their own hence why I wish there was an option to increase the honk volume (not even sure if that's possible), the length or the honk, or perhaps the number of honks. By the time the car auto-locks I'm pretty far away (perhaps my phone has strong bluetooth). Yes, I can open the app but...

You can definitely set it to make a short honk when they lock. The problem is the honk is quick and not very loud. If there are any sort of ambient noises the chances of hearing it are fair to none.

In TX you can only go as low as 25% on the fronts while the rears are completely exempt from regulation. As tint generally comes in 50%, 35%, 20%, and 5%; 35% is the lowest you can go on the front. Going with 20% on the rears allows you to go a bit darker but isn't much visually different from...

Fronts 35%, rears 20%, and nothing on the back glass. I did this with the thinking that if I didn't like it I could always tint the back glass later. It's now later, and I've got no desire to get the back glass tinted.

Perhaps I should have said Bose instead :). Notice that the reference curve includes an increase in bass that starts at around 160 hz and increases to about a +9dB boost from 50 and down. This curve is one that will appeal to the masses with enhanced bass and gradual roll off of higher...

Well, what exactly do you mean by 'final price'. In Texas the buyer has to self-register the car with their local tax office at which point all taxes and registration fees are paid directly to the state. Tesla isn't involved in that aspect of the purchase whatsoever in Texas. As such, it's...

Another thing you could try is plugging the port (along with polyfill). I've never been a fan of bass reflex enclosures in automotive environments. They have a 24db/octave roll-off while sealed enclosures roll off at 12db/octave. When you take into account the fact that cars typical have a...

You really need to find an SR+ to drive. Depending on where you live you might be able to rent one on Turo for about $100/day. The SR+ and LR drive quite differently from one another besides just 0-60 times. You have to remember that AWD and RWD cars are quite different from one another...

I think you are missing the original person's point. It's not that they don't use turn signals; they are probably like myself who doesn't choose to activate their turn signal until they know it's clear to change lanes. This is a courtesy to other drivers as the driver in the lane next to me...

FWIW, here's the 1/6 octave RTA curve of the SR+ stock stereo measured roughly where the driver's head is with the eq set to 0 on all bands, fader in center, and immersive sound off. This is pretty good sound curve (flat is NOT what you want) down to about 50hz; a sub would definitely help.

The tint shop apparently doesn't know what they are doing. Perhaps their techs aren't smart enough to know how to get the window to go all the way up with the door open so that they can install the tint properly.

But that's just it. Absolute volume is a bluetooth feature that attempts to sync the phone's bluetooth volume with that of the bluetooth device. It is a feature that takes control over the phone's bluetooth volume setting. It often leads to abnormalities with the resulting overall volume.

I'm pretty sure this is a bluetooth absolute volume issue. If you own an iOS phone you are screwed because Apple doesn't allow it to be disabled. If you own an Android phone just go into developer settings and disable absolute volume. Personally, I hate absolute volume. It is supposed to...

Seeing as how YouTube Music is behind both Apple Music and Amazon Music in the number of paid subscribers, I wouldn't hold my breath about it being the next music service that Tesla integrates (if any).

I don't think trying my EQ settings would work for you as you've installed the DIY upgrade harness. Once you've made such a change you can throw my EQ settings in the trash.

I figured some of you might be interested in seeing what the actual RTA curve of the stock SR+ audio system is. All measurements were done with a calibrated microphone, audio tool app (loaded up with the calibration file), immersive sound OFF, the mic at roughly where the driver's head would...
