    Windshield Wipers Don't Work - Even In Manual Mode. Can't Get Tesla To Help

    Seriously? Did they say it with a straight face? Oh this is Tesla, you can't see their faces. Love my car, but this is nuts. Adding this nugget of info to the old noggin for later use.

    2021 Model 3 ticking sound

    Have you tried putting your ear DIRECTLY on the speaker to see if it comes from it? HVAC on or off causes the sound?

    Bluetooth volume issues 2021

    That's interesting. Do you still need to be pretty high in volume to hear anything? Or this is just that it sets the volume high enough you can hear?

    So my wheel "stuck" after curb rash wheel repair

    I think it's just for simplicity. The less they "touch", the less likely something will go wrong. I'm OK with the fact that is was done on the car, but I wish the rotor was protected.

    So my wheel "stuck" after curb rash wheel repair

    Agreed, I do wish even just a plastic bag was put around the rotor. But I guess that involves taking off the rim.

    So my wheel "stuck" after curb rash wheel repair

    I rubbed one of the rims on my Model 3 on a curb, so decided to get it fixed. Had a service that comes to your house do the repair. They said they needed to be able to rotate the wheel (rear passenger), so they asked me to turn on "Towing mode". I did so and he jacked up the passenger rear of...

    Bluetooth volume issues 2021

    Same issue. Phone calls that come in, I have to max volume to hear. My car is brand new to me, so I don't know if this "worked in the past".

    New Interior Trim

    Thought I would dislike it, but the pictures shown are growing on me.

    Tesla has now had my car in Service for longer than I had it in my possession...

    Honestly, I considered it! But I just drove it and was thankful to have a loaner car. It didn't smell good though...

    I had a loaner Model 3 recently...I tried all those combos to break chill mode. None worked. :)

    Pic of your Model 3.......RIGHT NOW! [model 3 pictures thread]

    Just of note, the 2021 Model 3 does have "chrome delete" from the factory now. It looks good. Congrats on the new car. :) What's your VROOM story?

    Prices are slowly going up?

    Got it, thanks. I'm glad I did not get this because I'm not feelin' it. :)

    I'm sorry, door panel refresh? Can you tell me what this is?

    Both Key Cards stopped working

    Did you try removing the cards and re-initiating them? It appears the update process has disabled them somehow.

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    As I mentioned, you don't have to define the field - it will default to "per_kwh". Your import worked fine. BTW, if you need help with the US ones just let me know your methods and maybe I can help out.

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    I was going to import the supercharger geofence data in, but noticed the input file is structured : INSERT INTO public.geofences (name, latitude, longitude, radius, inserted_at, updated_at, cost_per_unit, session_fee) VALUES (<SNIP>); But the table structure is : id | name | latitude...

    Tesla Service Center Damaged my wheel while in service

    Curious...you think Tysons Corner is better or Sterling? I have an appt tomorrow @ tysons for a paint scuff that came with the car on delivery.

    Perfect...this is exactly what I was looking for. The work is easy to perform for an old admin like myself.

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    I got my 2021 TM3 LR a week ago and finally got around to installing TeslaMate in Docker for Windows. There were really no posts on this, so the short of it is to install docker for windows - Install Docker Desktop on Windows. Install this, it will ask to install WSL from MS (just another click...

    Phone Key range to big?

    2021 TM3 here - the door doesn't unlock with me standing right next to the car with my iPhone X in my back pocket. I have to twist my body or move phone closer to the car before it will allow me to open the door. I ordered the fob (still waiting) because I normally keep that in my FRONT pocket...

    Should I get the self driving option for 10k or wait ?

    How do you think it worked for you in the three months you had it? How often did you use it? Every month? Do you have $10K to burn? Subscription is basically coming... I personally do not think FSD in its current form is worth anywhere near $10K. To gain what was called EAP, I'd be willing to...

    Music USB not recognized

    No, it's pretty much proven they last longer. The circuity and garbage collection used in these drives extend their lifetime. They are also much faster. If you simply put music on a USB and READ from it all day and night, then it probably will last as long. Agreed, quality USB drive will last...

    Music USB not recognized

    Might cost a little more money, but consider an external SSD drive instead. They last much longer.

    Model 3 LR for LONG daily commute?

    CFO of a hospital? How about a 2021 LR Model S? That has over 400 miles of range. Not that you can easily get your hands on one. Otherwise, if you are being frugal (not CHEAP), how about a slightly used Prius. You'll kill the warranty in the Tesla pretty darned quick and the Toyota should get...

    How long for VIN to be removed after car is rejected

    Wow. That is bad. I have delivery coming in 4 days and honestly I'm nervous something like this will happen.

    Paying for your car........

    As an FYI, Tesla called me to confirm my pickup and I asked about payment. They said a personal check was fine, which was a relief for me. So far, no issues...I'm holding my breath for QA of the car. :oops:

    Paying for your car........

    I tried the Plaid thing, which gave me an error. Tried it twice actually. Of course, I get $.01 deposits the next day. Typical. Anyhow, I disliked the fact that I provided by user/pass to them, so I changed it. I'd MUCH prefer to just bring a personal check, but Tesla's site says : Final...

    Picking up my M3 SLR Thursday. Or am I???

    I'm sorry, why is this "Wow"? These cars have different plus and minuses - maybe this person prefers and SUV?

    VIN in 12 hours

    Ordered March 1st, got my VIN today too! Must have assigned a lot of people. Also my March 25 - 31 changed to March 22 - 31. Before it would literally move forward 1 day every day.

    Locked out of my Tesla account - Multi Factor Authorisation.

    Most 2FA is associated with a phone number (technically "something you have"). Tesla uses an authenticator app - the one MS made is good because it can backup to iCloud on iPhone AND has a recovery email account. Authenticator is much safer than cell phone number as it can't be "stolen" from you...

    Buy Model 3 Standard Range Plus now or wait for LFP and tax credit?

    Don't make any assumptions about the bill. Who knows when they'll get to it and most likely Republicans will make it hard/impossible to pass (Democrats can't use reconciliation like they did for the Covid relief bill that was just passed). Here is the bill if you want to follow it ...
