    Advice after pothole

    Around Fall 2021 the control arms failed. Then this spring I took a 900 miles road trip for relocation, and the control arms started to squeak again. The SC replaced them the second time.

    Advice after pothole

    The dirt shoulder is much lower than the highway, so I basically run into and off a "big pothole". They have changed the front control arms for me already twice this year, so I am indeed worried about things. (Although I am not sure what to worry about, maybe alignment after the comments?)

    Charging door won't open, mobile service scheduled

    Had mine replaced yesterday. I was amazed that the mobile technician is very considerate. I used tape to seal the charging door and it left some tape residue when we took it off for service. The technician cleaned the residue before leaving.

    Model 3 Dashcam not recording, but Sentry is?

    SC solved my dashcam problem and said in an "old system" the car is not marked as delivered. This is a problem that they couldn't notice from the front end system. As soon as they report to the engineer team stating that "the configuration is prohibiting dashcam from recording", the team marked...

    Dashcam Turns off once gear is engaged
