    Passing wires from glove box/compartment

    Have the same question. Annoyed that iPhone overheats on charging pad after ~20(??) minutes. I’m getting a phone holder and thinking of how best to connect the wire so it’s mostly hidden. Is there a way to get power from globe box usb to the area behind the screen? Thanks

    Glow in the dark door handle wrap

    The ones I got don’t stick out. If you didn’t know better, you’d think they were part of the handle. its $19, not a major setback. Put another way, this is less then the cost of ice cream comes for your family at a baseball game

    Glow in the dark door handle wrap

    Honestly, I don't know. It's rarely bitch black outside, so it's never going to be a pair of thin lines visible from a distance. There's always street lights, etc., so the glow isn't really apparent. It is visible enough, so you can easily find the handle. I like it because every third car on...

    Road problems that could confuse FSD...

    PSA If you’re aware of a problem with a road, signage, etc., that might confuse FSD, you can (and should) report it to the appropriate road department (state, county, etc.) Near my house, there’s a twisted stop sign that was viewable by the wrong lane. This was confusing FSD. My car would brake...

    Unresponsive driver's door handle

    Once or twice a month the driver’s door is unresponsive (stays locked when I'm at car). The back door works, and when opened, unlocks the car, allowing the driver's door to be opened. I typically do a scroll wheel reboot when this occurs. Is it worth it to send car to service, or is this just...

    Set default car

    How do I set the default car in the mobile app. I sent an address using iOS Share… and it went to my wife’s car. Her car’s appears first, in the app, the car’s name begins with a “A”, mine with a “C”. Is it determined alphabetically? Thanks!

    New Jersey EV Rebate?

    You take the price with options (for example, the cost of FSD) included. you can play with the numbers to see what works, maybe buy FSD after delivery, etc., but everything is state tax free on the purchase, you'll pay tax if you upgrade it after delivery

    Did Tesla end mobile service (in NJ)?

    Nope! You just got to play the "old man" card. As soon as I get a text, I reply "I'm an old man and hate texting, please call me" They'll call you within 5 minutes. It works even if you don't identify as being a man, or identify as being old, or identify as being an old man I've done that...

    app not connecting to car

    I've found that after updates (car, or mobile app) there are times things don't work smoothly, As such, I've gotten into the habit of doing the scroll wheel reboot of car after each update. Things just seem to work better. Also, if/when car fails to connect, or takes a long time to do so, I've...

    Blue TACC maximum speed setting number

    On the top left side of the 3’s screen, there are three speed numbers; travel speed, TACC maximum, and the road’s speed limit. Normally, when using FSD, the middle one, TACC, is either black, with the word MAX shown in blue, or both are dark gray (if FSD inactive) Yesterday, while driving with...

    Filtering calendars

    This is not a great solution, but it's a workaround, sort of. For for the record, I mainly use native apps Calendar, etc. What if you migrated all your scheduling (calendar) activity to Google Calendar, setting it as default, etc. Then share your personal Google Calendar events with iOS...

    Induction charging problem with heat?

    During the summertime heat (car interior is cool from AC), when I pick up iPhone from charger (2021 Model 3 with installed charging pad) after longer trips, it shows “charging paused due to high temperature”, or something similar. The phone never feels warm. Phone up to date, and restarted...

    Front passenger defogger not as effective as driver's side

    On both my '21 and '23 Model 3s, the passenger side defogger doesn't work as effectively as the driver's side (yes, the screen shows that the right side defogger is working). The foggy area isn't obscuring the driver's view of the road, but it's annoying Is this a common issue? If so, can...

    Real leather seat cover

    Thanks! Don't quote me, but I heard (not sure if it was 4th hand, or 5th hand, so take it with a grain of salt) the CyberTruck requires local support which might not be the same as what's available for the cars. As such, presumably, deliveries might be focused in regions where the truck has...

    Help fixing speed limits in neighborhoods without signs

    Thanks for your helpful answer I am encouraged that improvements are happening, albeit rather slowly. The speed limit in my garage (yes) and driveway was recently reduced from 35MPH, to a much safer 25 MPH In general, I don’t think it’s appropriate to use FSD on narrow local neighborhood...

    Help fixing speed limits in neighborhoods without signs

    In my neighborhood, (suburban, hilly, windy, narrow streets) there are few, if any, speed limit signs (only on the major arteries) FSD, when a sign isn’t visible, observes, I believe, a state mandated speed limit for the type of road. The problem is…a safe driving speed on many of these streets...

    Fake grill decal Model 3

    Cars, for about the last 80 years have had “faces”, some funny and goofy (vw bug), some mean and menacing (Dodge Charger), but it added a bit of levity to the roads. Without a grill, the car’s “empty billboard” makes the face look like a cyborg (and a goofy one, especially the Y), or like whales...

    Light show update trunk?

    New Jersey EV Rebate?

    but remember, the cost of FSD, etc. when purchased with the car, is sales tax free (NJ only), but if you purchase it immediately after taking delivery, you get to pay the sales tax. 15,000 * 6.625% = $993.75

    Does anyone know if the EV Charger Rebate is taxable income? I wrote to the rebate administrators (ChargeUp NJ for the $4,000 new car rebate, and the $1,500 PSE&G EV Charging Program) The new car rebate is not taxable I haven't heard from the utility yet, but did get a 1099-Misc Thanks!
