    why no beep for backup sensor in Model 3? [rear cross traffic warning]

    I agree completley! We have a jeep Cherokee which has come in handy several times when backing up. Can’t believe this is not standard in all Teslas. Also, side view mirrors with amber warning light would also be very helpful! C’mon Elon, stop making upgrades to farting sounds and focus on safety!

    If i forget to schedule departure and i turn on climate control how do I know when its ready?

    Confused about having climate come on. Ok so I have my m3 set for pre conditioning at 7:00 am. (It is not plugged in) temp setting is off and set for 72 degrees. How can I get the temp to turn on while the car is preconditioning? I would like to get into a warm car when it is cold out!

    Preconditioning Vs. Climate on: Whats the difference?

    If I am not charging overnight , is it ok to Precondition in the morning and set the climate from my app? Everything I am reading seems to indicate that preconditioning should be done only while charging. Right or wrong??

    MY - Preconditioning & Driving for Best Battery Range

    Ok… how about this question. I’m sitting at home and want to perform a battery calibration on a 2021 M3 with 14,000 miles. I have my battery down to 8% and have a 240/ 60 amp line at my home. I normally charge to 80% and recently noticed it tops out at 77%.(weather has been cold the last two...

    MY - Preconditioning & Driving for Best Battery Range

    I have a simple question which i can't get the answer to. If the car is not plugged in, is simply warming up the cabin via the app the same as preconditioning....? Or is preconditioning a requirement you have to perform before charging? I usually charge my car at 1:00 am...am I suppose to...

    Preconditioning Vs. Climate on: Whats the difference?

    Thanks for the reply...I understand the preconditioning before getting to a supercharger. So if that is the case, then simply warming up your car via the app is not considered preconditioning?

    Preconditioning Vs. Climate on: Whats the difference?

    I was confused by this also! i drive my tesla at different times every day. During the cold weather, if I have sufficient charge on my battery (and it is not plugged in) I simply turn up the heat from my phone app and let it run for about 20 minutes....I believe this is the same as...

    Understanding traffic data on navigation map

    Just started having trouble on my navigation . Used to see red lines when there was heavy traffic on the highway… today there was orange for miles when the traffic was at a stand still. I had my home address that was punched into navigation. When I cancelled my home address, the line turned to...

    Navigation [not showing accurate traffic info even with premium connectivity]

    Thanks….. the traffic on the highway was completely stopped…. Never had problem in the past with the red line showing… kind of bizarre that I turned off the destination and then the red appeared… maybe I’ll try a reboot…. Also might be a kink in the late latest software which I recently installed.

    Charge Stats in Tesla App May Be Understating Gas Savings

    Gas in NY now averages 4.13 per gallon. Yet in the charges stats it shows NY gas average as 5.55. Who inputs this info and how can I change to reflect the proper average?

    Dashcam

    So if dashcam is recording all the time, what is the point of having the red dot on in the dashcam icon?

    Dashcam

    Here comes a dumb question....should the red dot on the dashcam icon remain on 24/7? Is it using battery energy by remaining on all the time??

    Loud fan noises after acceleration on M3 LR

    Just had service on my 2021M3 regarding fan noise. They performed aHVAC/Thermal calibration and replaced three PT sensor modules. Don’t hear any fan noise… absolutely no sound!!

    2022 Model 3 SR+ fan noise coming from frunk.

    Loud fan noises after acceleration on M3 LR

    My 2021 M3 seems to “rev” higher with this fan noise especially in colder weather. Whenever I let it warm up for a full 20 minutes there is minimal noise.

    Sentry works/Dashcam doesn't

    Having trouble understanding basic concepts with dashcam and sentry mode. Should dashcam remain on 24/7? When parked and sentry mode is activated, must dashcam mode also be on at the same time? In other words, what happens if sentry mode captured some events and dashcam was off , what happens?

    Sentry works/Dashcam doesn't

    I’m technically challenged… new M3 owner….is it necessary for dashcam to be on all the time?? Also, if sentry mode is enabled, will it record events by itself or must dashcam also be in record mode?

    Been reading a lot about creep vs hold. All I want to know is when on hold mode is there any use of the brake pads at all? Or is the stopping and holding completely done with the “battery braking?”

    Vacation schedule

    New update 2021.44.25 adds customizable app launcher like Model S refresh plus other major upgrades to system.

    Got the new software. Some good features. Where is the sentry mode indicator? Also dash cam logo is always showing the red dot. Tried to not record but the dot is always there. Do you have to go into the safety feature to turn on/off dash cam and sentry mode?

    Loud Revving Noise while driving

    Just noticed when parked, all of a sudden the mild hum which is normal will kick into a higher revving sound. The A/C is off and so are all temp settings. The higher revving is noticed when placed in drive. Any thoughts?

    Software Updates

    Is it safe to say that if you are a new Tesla owner, then it takes longer to receive any software updates….Tesla owners that have had their cars for a longer period get priority updates??

    Not getting any software updates??

    How does Tesla rollout its software updates? Seems like a lot of owners already have v 2021.40.5. Still have an older version along with a neighbor. Do they roll it out by what model you have and what region you live in?

    Missing USB Ports

    why no beep for backup sensor in Model 3? [rear cross traffic warning]

    Couldn't agree more! I was backing up in a parking lot recently and my rear camera was fogged up... Another car was backing up and heading right for me...thank God she started honking her horn to alert me. C'mon Elon something like this should be standard as ell as better blind spot protection.

    why no beep for backup sensor in Model 3? [rear cross traffic warning]

    Today I almost backed into another car behind me that was also backing up. Got distracted and did not notice until the other driver blew his horn. Is this normal in the M3 that there is no backup collision warning??
