    2024 Model 3 Performance Announced - Discussion thread post announcement

    Anyone going to mention price ? Is this one of those, “If you have to ask, you can’t afford it” ?

    Refreshed M3LR at 78kWh Capacity

    Stored - have no idea. We’re the second owner (not counting Tesla as the intermediary dealer) and just acquired it three months ago.

    Refreshed M3LR at 78kWh Capacity

    Avg W/mile = 216 Projected range: 238 miles State of charge: 80%

    Refreshed M3LR at 78kWh Capacity

    Hmmm, I just did the calculation on my car for the first time (newly acquired 2020) - and came up with 64kWh. This would seem to be way off for dual motor long range with 12,000 miles. Thoughts ?

    Maybe I’m overreacting?! 😱 [first curb rash]

    Don’t know enough about the car yet to answer. The graphic usually, but not always, includes numbers.

    Maybe I’m overreacting?! 😱 [first curb rash]

    I guess my point was (poorly stated) I could be scraping the curb, and having the closeness graphic read 39”.

    Maybe I’m overreacting?! 😱 [first curb rash]

    I noticed with our new-to-us Model 3, the “closeness” graphic appears to be reading off the edge of the sidewalk, a couple of feet or more from the actual curb.

    SPAN.io and Powerwall interface

    Good question, and they haven’t yet.

    SPAN.io and Powerwall interface

    Still open questions here. The Tesla tech showed up, said nothing wrong with the hard wire part of the Solar roof/Powerwall +. He got on the phone to the secret number back server side, and 15 minutes later, my system was back to nominal. Now here is a curious thing. He knew enough about...

    I don’t know, but almost certainly the case. Thank you.

    SPAN - Smart Electrical Panel

    UPDATE: Tesla tech showed up today - super guy out of Maryland. He checked with his app, said, “Nothing wrong here.” Showed him my app, where there was no solar, and all power coming from the grid, with blue sky and full sun. He got on the phone with someone on the server side, and 15...

    Discussion: Tesla Energy / Auto Customer Service

    I would think they tried that already . . . in any case, the appointment is set for day after tomorrow.

    Discussion: Tesla Energy / Auto Customer Service

    Received an update via the app, saying to “Contact Support to schedule a tech visit.” I did, and first available was Monday 08 April. Stay tuned.

    Discussion: Tesla Energy / Auto Customer Service

    I contacted Tesla via the app, and Customer Support agent “Kellymar” gave me the Tier 2 ticket number, and said, “They [Tier 2] have seven to ten business days to complete.” Today is five business days the ticket has been open.

    Discussion: Tesla Energy / Auto Customer Service

    Powerwall+ was installed with a Gateway, a second Powerwall, Tesla solar roof, and Backup Gateway - two years ago. Back in December, started noticing some quirks, and then yesterday, was seeing “no data” from the app. I contacted Tier 1 support via the app, had me reset the system, would...

    SPAN.io and Powerwall interface

    Heard from them tonight. He’s frustrated - with remote access to the panel, he says the Powerwall+ is not responding to data requests from WiFi, Eth0, nor Eth1. He gave me a link to the Powerwall+ owner manual (which I don’t believe Tesla ever gave me) and asked me to reset the Powerwall to...

    SPAN.io and Powerwall interface

    Maybe a year and a half ago, after seeing a video by “Undecided” where he had paired a SPAN.io “smart” panel with his complementary Powerwalls, I thought that was a good idea, and I went through the process of having my local electrician become a certified SPAN installer, and long story short...

    Unhappy with Tesla Tysons Corner, Virginia [OP requests thread title be marked as resolved satisfactorily]

    Yeah, still, it’s fun to have the old tag, even we have to mount the EZ-Pass transponder, and keep the credit card on file for $70 refills.

    Unhappy with Tesla Tysons Corner, Virginia [OP requests thread title be marked as resolved satisfactorily]

    Yes, that is the website, and yes, it allow single occupant use in HOV lanes on I-66 outside the beltway: Our plate is “before 1 July 2006" Exempts the vehicle from occupancy requirements on the following HOV lanes: I-64 I-264 I-564 I-66 outside the Beltway Dulles Toll Road City of...

    Car Lock Sound Suggestions?

    SUCCESS ! Not only does the sound now play, for the FIRST time, the dash cam is available and shows recording !!! Thank you @Park Sloped and @MOE J

    Car Lock Sound Suggestions?

    So I’m confused - reading the manual, it talks about formatting for the Dash Cam - and I don’t think my 2020 Model 3 has a dash cam, and the updated software - does it understand I don’t have a dash cam ? And, with Sentry activated, I’m getting “Event” alerts - but as of yet, have not found...

    Car Lock Sound Suggestions?

    Folder, or do you mean file ? LockChime.wav Like I said, when I first did it, I heard the sound played. But somehow, it didn’t seem to stick, or I inadvertently reset it to default honk. Obviously, I don’t know what I’m doing. Thank you.

    Car Lock Sound Suggestions?

    Will try that next. I reformatted the drive on my desktop, then copied the wav file to it. Took it out to the car, and the car recognized the drive. Went to Toybox and selected “USB” and the sound I had chosen played. Am I missing a step here ? Went back to the SAFETY line, and clicked...

    Car Lock Sound Suggestions?

    Wanted to follow your lead, found a sound I like, pulled out the Tesla branded USB drive, plugged it in the computer, copied the LockChime.wav file to the top directory, went out to the car, and try as I might, the car does not recognize a drive being plugged in. Back in the house, confirmed...

    Dashcam / Sentry: How they work and what they do (and dont) do

    I did install the Tesla catalog USB drive. The car recognized it, and formatted it. The alerts only started after doing that.

    Dashcam / Sentry: How they work and what they do (and dont) do

    Dashcam icon is X’d out. Is there some condition where that becomes enabled ? By the way, got in the car this morning, and the notice on the display said, “14 events recorded."

    Dashcam / Sentry: How they work and what they do (and dont) do

    Still learning. Today, for the first time, I returned to the car from lunch, and there was a green banner box note to the effect “1 incident recorded”. I don’ think my car has dashcam - at least that is greyed out. Where do I find any information on what the car thought was enough to post a...

    What is PW's KW draw when charging from the grid? I have 2 PW's and they are charging at 2.4kw.

    We’re on time of use rates, and the charge/use schedule is tied to that. As mentioned, I checked this morning, weather is beautiful, and yes, “STORM WATCH” is still on, so I overrode that by taking the house off-grid. Fortunately right now, low solar generation from winter’s low sun angle ever...

    SPAN - Smart Electrical Panel

    Pretty happy with our SPAN panel, so far. One of the selling points for me was their ability to integrate with the Powerwall. Alas, about four weeks ago, the SPAN app reported that it lost communication with the TESLA backup. SPAN support has been pretty responsive ~ 20 email messages from...

    What is PW's KW draw when charging from the grid? I have 2 PW's and they are charging at 2.4kw.

    Just connected mine to the grid a few minutes - first time in a long time overrode the STORM WATCH because in that mode it prioritizes keeping the Powerwalls at 100%, and the lights we flickering from a storm, so I took it off grid, no more flickering. The storm passed, and I reconnected and our...

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    The roads were wet - didn’t seem to affect visibility to my eyes anyway. Apparently too much for the car.

    V11 Actual Experiences

    New-to-me 2020 FSD 11.4.9 - raining steadily this morning and the car said, “FSD may be degraded because of weather” [or something to that effect] and shortly thereafter ended, along with the almost comical, “Autopilot ended, What happened ?” I continue to think of something being developed in...

    Tonight, first “inadvertent” use of self park: I’m impressed

    I’m getting more impressed each time. There is a “trick” I find to it — reminds me of having sex, what little I remember — have to prepare by arranging the car just so — if the car “takes it”, there will be a momentary blip on the display about “PARK”, and I have to tap it almost immediately or...

    Unhappy with Tesla Tysons Corner, Virginia [OP requests thread title be marked as resolved satisfactorily]

    So in the event: I received the call this morning, and Ken said they had been delivering nearly 100 vehicles per DAY in December, and had run out of the transfer forms. Plausible. I drove to the Tesla location, and learning point: Tesla is incorporated as a Technology company that also sells...

    Unhappy with Tesla Tysons Corner, Virginia [OP requests thread title be marked as resolved satisfactorily]

    Our plate just happens to be my wife’s birth year, and, thanks to their being from 2002 with our first Prius, we can still travel single occupant on I-66.

    Unhappy with Tesla Tysons Corner, Virginia [OP requests thread title be marked as resolved satisfactorily]

    Easy for you to say. As of today, I cannot legally drive the car, and signing the form only starts a three-to-four week process at DMV. So problem not solved, at least not fully.

    Unhappy with Tesla Tysons Corner, Virginia [OP requests thread title be marked as resolved satisfactorily]

    Ah, complication in my case is that I am transferring Clean Special Fuel plates from the Chevy BOLT EV I traded in, so that has to be processed by a “special” office of DMV in Richmond. I don’t think the “missing form” is related — will see when I receive it. Hence the need for the temp tag...

    Unhappy with Tesla Tysons Corner, Virginia [OP requests thread title be marked as resolved satisfactorily]

    Supposedly, the dealer posted the necessary form yesterday (Thursday 04 January 2024). Also yesterday, my temporary tag expired, so technically I was not legal dropping my wife off to work this morning. So I requested another temporary tag. Guy at the dealer said, “Unfortunately, we can’t...

    Scroll Wheel Reboot After Installation Of Software

    You could also have started the car remotely through your mobile app, she would have had 2 minutes to press the brake and then drive. BINGO ! I had not thought of that. THANK YOU !!! 🥰

    Scroll Wheel Reboot After Installation Of Software

    You may well be right. I wasn’t there — on the other end of the phone call. The first time around, tried a number of things, turning off the phone, getting out of the car to lock, unlock, get back in, and so on. When she was getting frustrated, I found this thread, and had her try that, and...

    Scroll Wheel Reboot After Installation Of Software

    My wife went to the store again, and again called me, “The car won’t go." I asked her to perform (AGAIN) the dual scroll wheel “reboot”, and she made it home. Trying to avoid that definition of insanity where one repeats the same actions, expecting different results - this morning, in the...

    Everyone has a boss. Allowing abetting this behavior (any bad behavior) by accommodating it, begs it to continue. I have elevated this to California — will see where it lands, or I have to tuck my tail between my legs . . .
