One repair place I called said it would be a big job, they would have to remove the door to install the mirror, I'd have to leave the car for a day or more! While, the original estimate from Tesla- ridiculous price for the mirror assembly- more than $700. Yet the labor was $40 something, I...

I received the mirror from Ebay. Looks good. In calling one auto repair shop about installing it, I was asked if the mirror folds. Answer-Yes. Then I was told that they would need to program the mirror, and don'know how so they could not do it?? Is that factual, that it needs some kind of...

Sorry Kimmi, but that is often not true. If someone overcharges for something, does not make it better.

I didn't think so. So I didn't know why the description of one of them included "without camera"? In any case, I bought one on Ebay, I think the full assembly (including the cover) for about $140 plus tax. I hope it's good. But the same from Tesla, before tax and labor was more than $700!

One I saw on Ebay says "without camera"? But do the standardTesla side mirrors include cameras?

The passenger side mirror on my 2001 Model 3 SR LFP broke off yesterday while backing out in a hurry from my extremely narrow carport. THe wholemirror unit is damaged, except for the white (car coolor) cover at the top. In arranging service on the Tesla app, they first gave me an estimate of...

Well, I don't go to gas stations any more., for an obvious reason LOL. I looked in the small auto section of a large Target in LA, none there. I'll have to find an auto parts store.

Not that I had never heard of it, but for the reason described in my OP above, I had never used it nor bought it before. Certainly not a "troll thread". Thanks for the link about the other discussion. I will check it out.

I posted about this yesterday, but now cannot find that thread. Sorry if you see it twice. My 2021 Model 3 now gives me a message that the wiper fluid is low. I looked it up in the manual, and it says you need to use wiper fluid, not water. Is that true? Not distilled water. either? Is wiper...

Turn it while holding it down.

Model 3, all latest updates I recall reading here lately, that the left scroll wheel now can control the fan speed? Yet for me the left scroll wheel only does as it always has done- controls the volume of audio and phone calls. While it is important to me to still control volume with the...

Thank you for the info. However, today when done with a call while driving, I pushed the right steering wheel button to hang up. Didn't work. I still found that the only way I could hang up was to press the red hang up icon on the touch screen. I would find it much more convenient to be able to...

I looked for phone call controls in the user manual, and strangely, could not find it? I have various questions, but will start with one? While driving, a phone call ended, one wants to hang up. I know one can do that by pressing the red hangup icon on the touch screen. However, is there...

I have been unable to log in to the app for days now.

For days now when I try to open the Tesla app, it asks me to log in. I enter the info correctly, then get an error message. Error Failed to log in. Please try again later. (EUNSPECIFIED) Failed to connect to auth.tesla.com/2600:1406:5400:480:700:443 This has occurred for days. Are others having...

Thanks for the info. Regarding the "sarcasm" of "scoobydoo", totally inappropriate. Not appreciated. My question was serious. And I spent time looking for the option he mentioned. (Which would not be a bad idea- some kind of defrost function to clean condensation from the camera lens.) The...

I looked under Safety, and could not find the option you mentioned. Might it be somewhere else?

I've noticed that when it rains, the rear camera gets wet, and the rear camera vision (while backing up) gets clouded, and hard to see with. Can be dangerous. Is there any fix for that. (2021 Model 3)

Update. There was a nail in my tire. I brought it to two places though, and both said that the location of the nail (I think he said near the side wall) would make it impossible to repair. So, the 2nd place, a Firestone place, had their own Firestone brand of that tire, and sold me one. (Just...

I have a 2021 Tesla Model 3, purchased in October of that year (so just over a year old), only a little over 5,000 miles on it. (as I'm retired, not commuting) One of my tires (right rear) has a slow leak now. I pump it up to the required 42 PSI. Next day still there, but after a few days it is...

Are the Tesla Superchargers preferable to other charging stations? Faster?

I was not sure in which sub-forum to post this in, but because it will partially involve charging, I put it here. (If admins want to move it to a different sub-forum, that's OK.) I bought my 2021 Tesla Model 3 SR LFP last October, 2021. So about 10 months old. It is my first EV. As I am...

$139 for a license plate holder? Highway robbery!

How do they mount to the bumper, with no holes there?

You can get a ticket for it. Once my front plate was stolen, and I got a ticket for no front plate. DMV would not replace just the front plate, I had to get a new set with a new plate #, So you may have been lucky so far, but may get a ticket.

I got my new Model 3 a month ago, and just got my CA license plates yesterday. I already put on the rear license plate, but am surprised there are no holes in the front bumper to screw on the front license plate. Instead, the car came with a front license plate holder that one is supposed to...

Now I saw the post from someone who said that it worked for him to turn off wi-fi on the phone. I did that, and now it logged on. That is strange, no? (Again, no VPN.) Why won't it connect if the phone is connected to wi-fi? PS Now the phone app is telling me to set up my phone key. It was...

I am having the same problem, from yesterday afternoon through today. (Android app) I do not have a VPN. I am unable to log on to Tesla from the phone app. (No problem logging into my Tesla account on the computer) I have tried everything- uninstalling and reinstalling the app, rebooting the...

Have just had my Teslla Model 3 SR a few days, my first Tesla. I tried to see trip meters on it, an easy thing to see on most cars. The only way I could find to access it is by the voice command "Trip Meters". That shows one trip meter. But it is one that always started just a few miles...

I have a new 2021 Model 3 SR that I got a couple days ago, my first Tesla. I tried that swiping right from the bottom left corner, and it did not show me trip meters. (I also tried swiping from the middle left, although I don't know what TPMS is, and nothing happened.) Has that capability...

What is TPMS?

Does that mean that with it set to Roll, one can coast down a hill without the foot on the accelerator? But the only way one can do that is with the screen?

Then what are the settins for : roll, creep, I forget the other one?

Actually I drove stick shifts for most of my driving career. Only my most recent car (last three years, recently totaled in an accident) was automatic. So I guess more used to automatic now, but much more experience driving stick, manual transmission.

Once again, I am a Tesla newbie, just having got my first one (Model 3) two days ago, so will have lots of questions. It is also the first time I had any car with regenerative braking. Very new to me. Hard to get used to. For instance, going downhill. Normally, depending on where and how...

But charging $10,000 more to get that parking assistance is pretty extreme! I guess it helps Musk to play with rockets. LOL

Nope I received it a bit before 3 PM. But they did not text me first as I had been told, when they were leaving and when they got there. No text at all. The guy just showed up with it.

I received my Tesla Model 3 SR yesterday, my first Tesla. My previous car, a 2018 Toyota Prius Prime (Advanced Trim) had some parking assistance to park the car automatically with parallel parking and back-in parking. I didn't use it much, but occasionally did. I thought that the Tesla, a more...

I got my first Tesla yesterday, an SR Model 3. So sorry for newbie questions I ask. On most cars turning the radio on and off is very simple. Not so the Tesla. Well, I turned it on, and was listening to the radio while trying to figure out some things on the car. But later, I could not figure...

Well yes, nothing in life is 100% absolute, true. Most of the delays I have read about are long term delays. In this case, they say they will deliver it tomorrow, so on the basis of that I returned the rental car today. I certainly hope they will follow through on that though, or I could end up...

Does anyone know? When one gets a short term delivery date, do they stick to it? Can I count on it?

I posted about this already, but cannot find the thread! My Tesla is supposed to be delivered this Saturday afternoon, between 12-4. Can I count on that, or do they sometimes delay delivery dates at the last minute? I have a rental car now (previous car was totaled), and planned to return the...

Also, do they deliver them to you fully charged (or almost fully charged)? Or almost empty?

My Tesla Model 3 (first Tesla) is supposed to be delivered to me this Saturday, between noon and 4 PM. Are they reliable? Can I expect it to be delivered at that time, and count on it? I have a rental car now (after my previous car was totaled), so am planning to return it tomorrow (Friday...

What is covered and what you need to pay? Isn't the coverage the same on all Teslas during the warranty period? "What you need to pay"? You mean you have to pay something for the emergency assistance? If so, might it not be better to use the coverage from insurance?

I tried that. Did not work. (Perhaps changed since June?) The only other options were to initiate a wire transfer with the bank (more hassle, and involves a fee) or get a certified check from the bank (also a hassle). I also would prefer to give routing # and account #, rather than give them my...

What if there is a problem with the 12v battery? Do Teslas ever need a jump start? Or a flat tire? Would Tesla come and help with such issues during the warranty period?

?Hello, This is my first post to this group, and I do not yet have a Tesla. A Tesla Model 3 (SR) is supposed to be delivered to me this Saturday. I will likely be asking several newbie questions. I have not yet set up my new car with my insurance, and will do so today. One question that would...
