While you are 1000% correct, I still prefer the previous advice for the OP to put sunscreen on half their face. It matches the ridiculousness of the original assertion.

I would recommend taking a look at one of the existing solutions like TeslaMate. You can either use it to see how they are pulling the data (we have two Teslas and it pulls both of them just fine) or even just use it to pull the data and source it from there. TeslaMate uses a Postgres SQL...

I bought the adapter when they dropped to $175. It allowed me to because we have a 2022 Model X. Now I want to see what the real cost is for my 2018 Model 3 Performance, because I don't need another adapter but just the car modification. If it's a rip off, I'll do it myself as it appears pretty...

Is this the key fob? LOCK_REQUEST_PASSIVE_BLE_INTERIOR_HANDLE_UNLOCK, 8.0 We did have an experience in our first 2017 Model X where the battery on the key fob started dying and it kept sending a FWDS open command during driving. Only diagnosed it by removing the battery and it stopped. That...

Just have the police look up the car owner info, get their insurance, and file a claim with them. It will take an hour. I had a “hit and run” caught on Sentry. That’s what I did and the insurance company didn’t debate a thing.

For all the “Model 3 isn’t good for trips” assertions I sure see a lot of them when I drive on long trips. Definitely a lot more than Corvettes and large diesel trucks.

Bigger exhaust pipes, maybe?

I’ve yet to see another one in the wild so doubtful it’s a big wealth generator.

The license plate wrap company does it. The letter is included when they send the plate to you.

Yes, we are using a Tesla authorized repair shop (Brooks Motors in Walnut Creek). It's still being repaired, but I don't expect any lasting problem except for the value of the car due to being in a collision. As for DV claims, yes you must go to the at-fault insurer for that claim and I don't...

We had a similar incident happen to our X recently. It's currently in the shop getting repaired, and fortunately no damage under the quarter panel. Everything seemed to be under the bumper and we appear to even avoided the lift gate. Ours will come in a little under $10K, so I'm guessing yours...

Please don’t use Track Mode and turn down safety features while you’re on public roads.

I wouldn't worry about it or bother trying to get service to look at it. They can't fix it, and the fix is very likely just going to come through another software update.

Just to note that the drive unit is also included in the 8 year warranty. https://www.tesla.com/support/vehicle-warranty

Insurance is both hard and easy. Hard because you have to invest the time to get a solid understanding of each type of insurance but easy that it’s just math in the end.

I have it on our 2022 too after recent software update. I doubt it’s harmful but in a garage it’s very prominent.

In my opinion, swapping an EV for an ICE is just socially irresponsible. But I guess constant extreme weather and droughts are worth the better interior.

One of the two key fobs on our new X did not work. I finally had it where the car would detect it, but only in an exact position on the phone charging pad. Even put a new battery in to make sure that wasn't the cause. Took it in for service and the technicians played with it for awhile, but gave...

licenseplatewrap.com is the company that can officially do it under the DMV program. I've had one on my 2018 Model 3 for a few years and it works fine. Best idea is to put the decal on PPF, then apply on top of your current PPF. Your PPF installer will probably do it for you. Mine did.

For sure, in California you need to be in an approved program for a replacement to be legal. No one needs to cite a source because its legality is determined by inclusion, meaning if the DMV hasn’t approved it then it’s not legal. I appreciate your point that registration could act as proof but...

Never gonna own another ICE. Period. Even my 15 year old daughter will get something akin to a Nissan LeashLeaf. Our 3P and X are a perfect combination.

I think it’s a lot less about your driving and more about driving in San Diego and LA. Go east for 45 minutes, then report back. 😀

You bought a Tesla. You’ve already made a bad financial decision. In fact if you buy anything other than a two year old Corolla that has less than 20k miles and was driven by a heavy smoker so you get a significant discount, you’ve made a bad financial decision. However, most of us bought a car...

I would not recommend pushing the doors.

My wall charger is acting the same. It was actually even opening when I was plugging in our 3, but now just does nothing. Kinda irritating, but I suspect a software update will come along to fix it.

The Tesla documentation on how to adjust the FWDs is available. But it’s not for the faint-of-heart.

Maybe that's just Tesla's version of noise cancellation, and we just can't tell what other noise it's cancelling. But seriously, there's a big difference between an SC being unable to resolve an issue and an SC that completely denies the issue / Tesla's responsibility to fix. I'm sympathetic to...

Yep! June 25th. She's already wrapped, too.

We have my 2018 Model 3 Performance and recently received our 2022 Model X LR. Different cars with different purposes, but both are awesome for what they can do. There's nothing we do that both cars can't handle.

Then how will you know it’s still there?

On #1, it’s definitely not documented so you’d have to reengineer. For #2, I recommend one of the available data log capturing tools like Teslamate. The data capture is already implemented into a relational database.

Your reasoning is really "because I don't stay at places where I can charge overnight". That's fine, but it doesn't have anything to do with this particular discussion.

I'm glad to live in a state where Tesla's "safety score" cannot be used to determine insurance rates. Their system is completely arbitrary, and in some cases downright bullshit. As others have mentioned, getting dinged because some other car pulls out in front of you and you react appropriately...

Agree. People exposing servers to the world when they really don't know what they're doing is a recipe for disaster.

They charge $8k for all of it.

Summon is what helps in the tight spot situations. The X used to have - at least I don't think it does this anymore - a feature where you parked in front of the garage, double tapped the drive stalk, and when you exited the car it would park itself by pulling forward into the garage.

We have a tandem and the garage door uses tracks, but both FWDs open just fine all the way.

Got to Climate and scroll down to the bottom.

We tried Alloygators on our last X, and it was a total waste. Just try to be more careful and just suck it up when you have to pay to repair a damaged one.

Thanks, but if only that were true. In fact, while I was picking up the car there was another Model X refresh getting a wrap. A red stealth wrap. Posers, obviously.

So, wrap is done and came out great … as always with OCDetailing. Including some pics of the cream interior too.

I have radar on our 3P and our X has no radar. I've encountered phantom braking on the first one, but so far not on the X.

I'm using this to power both Pi devices off the 12V plug in the center console. Probably important to note that this is on a 2022 Model X.

Just a heads up, with 2022.27 the LTE modem is no longer required.

I dropped our baby off to get the wrap today and already miss it. Surprisingly, my wife decided on the matte / stealth as that's what I have on my 3 Performance. By the way, it's really weird to me that Caroake is not included on the S/X.

Tesla moved its HQ to Tesla around the same time we all started our wait for the X. Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not! 😏

It’s very early days, and AutoKit - the software piece that actually provides the CarPlay support - is still in active development. I think the single RPI is coming very soon too.

It doesn’t as I’m in a similar situation. In my experience, flooring my 3P is a rare event, so both still are plenty exhilarating when accelerating.

I got mine working too. There was something about the DHCP static IP assignment to the Android Pi that wasn't working. I deleted it and reapplied, unplugging the network cable in the process to get it to get a new assignment. With the 2022.27 release and its removal of the need for the LTE...

Yes, that part. Especially how futile that was when people would do it.
