    Unhappy with phantom braking

    Thank you. I've been submitting bug reports intermittently as these occur as well, and earlier today re-calibrated my cameras (didn't help). If 10.2 is the fix I hope it moves out of beta-beta soon. It's ridiculous that FSD (which is a beta product) is in double-beta. I'd be happy with just...

    Unhappy with phantom braking

    I have a June 2021 Tesla Vision M3LR and my car regularly drops 5-10 miles at night and alerts for no reason (especially at night). I’m on 2021.32.21. Last night I had 5 phantom braking events within a very short period and the car behind me started honking their horn. I try to catch them fast...

    Model 3 Review from a new Owner

    Your mileage may vary, I'd be interested in hearing about your experience. If I remember right VA has similar geography to WA so our experiences ought to be similar. I'm on the conservative software update schedule so if you do "Advanced" you'll often have patches newer than me. Story behind...

    Model 3 Review from a new Owner

    Ok yeah so that may explain the differences in our experiences but the Volvos still got us Teslas beat with autopilot/pilotassist. I wonder how Subaru’s autopilot is. As I understand it they are also vision-only, but I could be wrong.

    Model 3 Review from a new Owner

    You know, one thing that may explain our differences in experience, there are a lot of trees (casting shadows) here and a lot of hills and turns in occluded vision roads. If I remember Houston there were a lot less hills and super tall trees lining the roads casting shadows. I’m not at all...

    Model 3 Review from a new Owner

    I brought it up with the service guy the first week I had it. He told me that I’d receive a camera calibration message if it was the system. It’s just what it has to offer right now. I will say that I think the night time performance is definitely because of TV but I had rented a model 3 with...

    Model 3 Review from a new Owner

    On our Volvo (we still have one) it does the steering and the pedals so I’m basically relegated to the guy that controls the cruise control set speed. One thing I especially like over the Tesla autopilot is that it has a little more… “give” where you can nudge it a little bit more than you can...

    Model 3 Review from a new Owner

    It did. It works on all roads and even turns corners. Only thing it didn’t do (that Tesla autosteer “does”) is slow down around turns on its own. Here’s a video of a guy using the Volvo “autopilot” on a highway. It’s incredibly effective.

    Phantom Braking Discussion

    OH god no. Dawn/dusk/nighttime and shadows are all the terrors that scare the car.
  10. ytfsic

    Model 3 Review from a new Owner

    The problem is that AutoPilot is part of cruise control and that ruins the experience for me. Tesla cruise control doesn't just keep you at speed, it slows you down for objects it thinks are in front of you using autopilot brains. It often thinks shadows are cars. At night it thinks other cars...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I noticed that no one answered their phones at my local delivery center too. I ended up talking to the manager over the SAs when I received my car (no I didn't Karen her, we were just chatting because she's delightful). At my DC they had two prompts, one for sales and one for deliveries and they...

    Model 3 Review from a new Owner

    Hey all...While you are waiting for your Tesla I thought I'd share my experience as a new 2021 LR owner with Tesla Vision because I wish I knew what it was like before I got mine. 1. Cruise control brakes ALL THE TIME at night. It seems to think any oncoming car is in your lane until it's...

    Wiper Fluid - Both Wipers?

    It sure looked like it. Smart, right? What could possibly go wrong? .. Smart comments aside, there probably isn't a good spot to spew fluid in an EV and the wires were protected at least.
  15. ytfsic

    Wiper Fluid - Both Wipers?

    That's exactly what it was. I'm grateful for your post because I wasn't too excited to go looking for it. Once you said what I needed to do I found it. I'm posting a picture below in case someone else gets this issue.
  16. ytfsic

    Wiper Fluid - Both Wipers?

    Ok thanks. At least now I know I *should* get fluid from both!
  17. ytfsic

    Wiper Fluid - Both Wipers?

    Hi, I just got my 2021 LR Model 3 and I don't know if this is normal or not... Does wiper fluid usually come out of both wipers or just the one on the right? It looks like mine is only coming out of the right one and I don't know if that's normal. Thanks for your help, Jeremy

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Thanks to you too! It’s been more fun “cursing the squirrel” together, for sure. Happy driving’s. Me? I’m already finding new things to complain about, like shadow braking. A forum viewer’s job is never done!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Oh. Looks like the new version is a more enabled version of TV. Let me tell you, MY version of TV is absolute garbage.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I wonder if this is how they do A-B testing. Alternate theory: I have my updates set to normal.... Are your updates set to "Advanced"?
  21. ytfsic

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yep, service center is wrong. Cheesus these people must have clowns for trainers. It’s like no one is as informed as their own customers. This has to be because so many things change so often maybe.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    My charge was free. I bet that was an accident, they must have done things in the wrong order, like they shouldn’t have given you access to the app before they charged or something. I bet your SA would be able to credit it.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Wow curiouser and curiouser. Well, you have FSD and I don’t, so maybe that’s it? Does anyone with FSD enabled have 2021.03.103?
  24. ytfsic

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I thought TV was a separate update. I know FSD has a separate version number than the system version. Do they update together? How does that work?
  25. ytfsic

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I’m at 2021.3.103 too. If you go to the software update section and pick advanced does it give you a newer version? After seeing the unreliability of the backup camera on the model 3 I rented in April I figured I’d keep it on normal updates not advanced…

    Beautiful car! Make sure they use your referral code (from the loot box screen in the phone app) to make the order. You both get 1,000 free supercharging miles each.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    My Tesla 100% had no problem with me getting into the car before accepting it. None. There are some pretty big red flags being thrown. I really didn’t have bad QC on the one I picked up today. Still, even so, once you own it you own it so you’re entitled to check it just as you wouldn’t any...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Ok I'm fully delivered. When I arrived I found my car parked out front. They let me into the car before accepting delivery. I was able to do the full checklist and had zero pressure from anyone to accept before I wanted to. I've attached my delivery checklist. As far as issues, there were...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yeah my checklist has a “Verify Post-Delivery Vehicle Records” step that says to ask the delivery specialist to make sure the car is marked as “Delivered” in Tesla’s network. It also says to make sure you have paper copies of all paperwork in case there is an issue with the digital copies. It’s...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Good point. For me, through USAA, their instructions were just to make sure they had the dealer request form for my loan (they do, I sent it to like 4 people to make sure someone has it). My deposit went via PLAID ACH and my loan will go through that form and I suppose whatever they do to get...

    Today’s my delivery day! I take delivery an hour after the delivery center opens, which is, about 3.5 hours from now. My deposit (input yesterday) is still in my bank account but is acknowledged on the Tesla website. The Tesla app has not suddenly granted my access to the vehicle yet. So far...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I am paying with USAA. They (TESLA) need the dealer funding request form from the USAA website. I called them to get an email address to send it to. Then we confirmed how much down payment I’d be responsible for and they adjusted the website so I could do the down payment. When you select...

    I’m glad this helped out. Their communication around the process and the specific ability to change it really isn’t perfect. I almost did the same thing when I made my order.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Something to be mindful of... I had originally put in my original order stating that I'd finance 100% (through my bank) because I was under the impression that I would get a call within the 24 hours prior to finalize my payment information and be able to update anything I needed to at that time...

    Look, Tesla has innovated their ordering process. No other company in the space has a genetically engineered (malevolent) squirrel responsible for the company's web page, training Sales Advisors, and delivering product.

    Mine is gone, and I’ve wanted a blue Tesla Model 3 since the day they were announced. Now I just sit here with my charger and accessory mountain stuck, and none of the other EV cars on the market are nearly as good, not for a year or two still. But soon Tesla will need to innovate on customer...

    Another update. Last night I received my VIN, the EDD when I accepted the VIN was 7-10 weeks. Then that evening it updated to 6/26-6/28. This morning it was updated to 6/23-6/27. I received my "congratulations" text this morning about 10 minutes after my local delivery center opened. When I...

    We were a talkative bunch this epoch. We added 385 pages (229-614) just for this quarter. It was good to share the pain with y'all and I really hope this is it for me. I'm ready for the after-place (don't worry, mods. The after-place is wherever we go after delivery day)

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    You are indeed correct. Whilest Andrew had been birthed during the great webpage breaking of May 2021, that part of the mythos was from my personal Andrewial experience. My records indicate @FDNYC was the first to experience Andrew first hand.

    *Update on me. When I got the VIN the EDD on the page became 7-10 weeks, then last night was this weekend (6/26-6/28) and now it's 6/23-6/27, so once you get that VIN it must have a few extra steps that have to complete. I'm convinced that now Andrew knows where the car is and is getting it ready.
