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...

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...

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!

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...

I’ve seen many complain about calendar sync Not sure if this is known, but I noticed the two mobile apps tied to my car, iPhone and iPad (same iCloud calendar) don’t synchronize As a test, I disabled calendar sync, on iPhone An hour later, iPad still showed it enabled (not sure if Tesla syncs...

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...

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...

There’s nothing I hate more than the plastic (high end vinyl?) seats Vegan leather is not leather Leather is leather Moisture pools and sits there until wiped down (there’s nothing lovelier than leaving behind a sweat pool on a warm summer day). Does anyone know of good quality real leather...

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...

I'm a member of a local Tesla Owner's Club (covers Del., SE Pennsylvania, and NJ) Periodically, the club runs an educational for first responders class, showing them how to deal with a Tesla that's been involved in a crash, on fire, how to disconnect battery, open doors, put in gear, etc. If...

Asking for a friend (seriously)... Friend just bought from Tesla a 2020 S, the ad said it had FSD (not FSD capable, but it said that the car had it installed). He got the car yesterday, and FSD is grayed out. When I got FSD, I had to press the 'button' and deal with safety score, which, I...

PSA - How to help FSD deal with road problems There’s a poorly placed stop sign near my house that is visible by a road that the sign isn’t intended for. As such, it is read by FSD and the car brake checks. It’s right after a traffic light, a 45 MPH road, and near a highway entrance ramp. So...

I've own a 2021 AWD Model 3 and my wife just got the 2023 RWD Model 3. I don't believe RWD has "park assist chimes" (or, at least, I can't seem to find it). Other than the obvious (number of motors, range, acceleration, etc.), what other features does the AWD have that the RWD lacks? I know...

I realize most of us in a Tesla forum are enthusiastic EV owners, so asking this question here is probably going to skew the results, but if you were to buy a new car, would it be another EV?

I like the recently added "unlatch door" icon, in case of a frozen door handle. However, I am fearful of placing it as one of my four 'quick access' icons on the main screen and widget, as it's too easy to inadvertently tap it with no way of latching door remotely. Note to Tesla app designers...

Picking up a new Model 3 next weekend. Does anyone know if NJ will issue a 1099? I just got a 1099 for the $1,500 EV Charger rebate. Thanks!

I tried to set up a service appointment for a minor warranty repair (horn not working on right side) I was only offered a choice of local service centers (northern NJ). I tried using both a specific category (interior), as well as the "other" category. Have they discontinued mobile service, or...

I have 2021 Model 3 with 2022.20.18 Occasionally, the driver’s door handle is locked when I approach car. Since I’m near the car, the other doors are unlocked, when I open the back door it unlocks the driver’s door. I’ll try power down restart later this morning, but since it’s an occasional...

I always thought men generally prefer different colors than women, so I figured I'd ask. If you're part of a couple sharing the car, please choose for the primary driver. I understand cost considerations ($2,000 for red vs. white) might skew the results Off topic, I hate the name Midnight...

I asked in the Model 3 forum, but didn't get an answer, so I figured I'd ask here to a larger audience

I don't regularly use Summon/Go To Target The last two times I tried it, when I got to car, the doors were locked. I had to play with handles a few times before I was able to get in car. Is there something you need to do, when using Summon, to unlock doors? Thanks!

I‘be been considering getting a fake grill. I like the thin one resembling the S’ grill, similar to but not necessarily the one shown below Quick web searching shows many merchants, and styles. Has anyone found a good quality fake grill, from a reputable merchant they’d recommend? Thanks

There appears to be a design flaw when lights are set to AUTO. When driver first sets out, and driving less than 30 mph, driver can’t manually turn on bright lights (pushing stalk forward doesn’t do anything). As soon as car hits 30, MPH driver can manually set bright lights. If car slows to...

I have FSD Beta, but am asking for a friend. He has been using Safety Score (and driving like a grandma) for a few months now. He's at 99, but Tesla doesn't seem to be adding new FSD beta drivers (our perception, no empirical evidence) I'm not sure if that's related to the 'rolling stop recall'...

I'm sorry if this has been asked, but I see there are numerous threads with hundreds of replies, so to save a lot of time (it would take hours to sift through all the posts), may I ask, what score has been getting the FSD? I got it a few months ago (99), but have a friend who has been struggling...

Since V11, saying "Mute Navigation" now ends navigation, formerly, it muted the announcement of the turn by turn directions. Does anyone know of another command that can silence, navigation until this, presumed, bug is ironed out. (yes, I know how to do it on the screen). Thanks!

Does anyone know how to get the scrolling words and background music, but not the vocal track (like real karaoke)? Is there a setting somewhere Thanks.

Not sure if this has been discussed, but has anybody noticed a difference in sensitivity with steering wheel nag reminders while using FSD? It seems when using FSD, when I get a nag reminder I have to shake the wheel back-and-forth, vigorously, five or six times for the nag to go away. When...

The other day I got the giant red steering wheel and (approximately) ten loud warning beeps. It wasn’t an “Autopilot Jail” warning (due to lack of string wheel interaction) as Autopilot was still engaged. At the time I was trying to set fog lights as heavy fog rolled in. The procedure Is...

Today, with FSD Beta using Navigation, the car, as it was getting onto a a highway acceleration lane, and again, as it exited the highway onto a deceleration lane gave two dings (same tone). It wasn't the soft, pleasing beep (like on an airplane), nor was it the harsh (you messed up!) ding, but...

My iPhone's Contacts list is synced with Tesla. When I go into Tesla Phone, I can search for a contact. However, when I go to the map's navigation screen and type in a contact's name, it doesn't search my contact list. Shouldn't it? Is there a setting somewhere that I missed? Thanks!

Saw this and started drooling Model 3/Y Auto Present Door Handles - EVOffer (Tesla Offer) Has anyone had this installed? If anyone did this in the metro New York area, is there someone you’d recommend

A few months ago,I was chatting with a Service rep (about the odd slowing issues on AutoPilot, not the braking issue), and he said Tesla learns from the collective data. For example, if 100 Teslas reach a certain location, and each will slow down 5 MPH, the 'system' learns that there's something...

A friend recently bought a 2018 Model S mentioned that his car doesn’t have a heated steering wheel. Is it possible to add an aftermarket heated steering wheel? Thsnks?

I installed two blue ambient lights (not sure of the vendor). A month later, I installed two blue rear seat ambient light kits from Abstract Ocean. Unfortunately, the two shades of blue aren't the same, the front are a paler shade of blue, so I bought new bulbs from Abstract Ocean that match the...

Found in driveway near garage. My car is only vehicle that was near that spot. Thanks

Years ago I bought a device that plugged into my other car's OBD port that worked with an app called Automatic. The app would talk to my Nest Thermostat, so it would know when I was getting close to the house, and the thermostat would adjust the temperature. Automatic has since folded, but I was...

I'm set to 90% maximum, but the battery charged to 92% today before stopping. I imagine the % indicator probably isn't exact, but is this normal?

Having a tough time figuring out if I can use voice to change steering from Sport to Comfort. Is it possible, if so, what are the magic words? Hate everything about the touch screen when driving Thanks!

I typically get phantom braking, once a week, or so. These are not associated with a dark shadow from an overpass (half the time I drive at dark, so shadows don't come into play) Today the car started to slow/brake, The closest vehicle was ~1/2 mile behind me, so I let the car figure it out...

A regional Tesla owners club I belong to Delaware Valley Tesla Owners Club - Home (NJ PA Del) is conducting a Zoom meeting on Autopilot. These meetings, part of their ABC Series, are an excellent resource that provides valuable information, as well as live Q&A discussions open to all, typically...

After viewing a few threads, it seems that there's a difference in the type of phantom braking that occurs. Some members complain of aggressive braking (scaring driver and passengers), while others (including me) feel it's like regular braking, annoying, but not a big problem. Another member...

I know the charging section was changed/removed with the recent app update but really miss the “local charging stations” information. (Embarrassed to add…I looked through entire app but couldn’t find this location information, it’s gone, right?) Has anyone heard or read if this is a...

I thought I read a recent update (after the initial lower limit when cars went 100% cameras) allowed Autopilot to remain engaged at higher speeds. Today it kicked off a couple of times, I believe, at 80 MPH. I don't usually travel very fast, but it's easy to push beyond 80 on the highway. Is...

I wondered how the (verbal command from the scroll wheel) Bug Report works. Today I've been messaging with a service rep and got a better understanding. The reports are not sent anywhere, nor is Tesla automatically notified. They just sit in the system waiting for service to review (a high tech...

I was at supercharger today talking with an owner of a new Model 3, same color as mine, both bought in June, parked next to mine. He commented on how nice my rims were, and that I probably paid up for them. He didn't know that the butt ugly wheel covers can pop off revealing amazingly attractive...
