    Controlling Apple Music with Voice Commands

    Same here. I also use Spotify and until I disabled Spotify as a possible source, it would automatically start playing songs in Spotify instead of even attempting to use Apple Music. After disabling Spotify, it now opens Apple Music and searches for the track but it doesn't play without tapping...

    Voice control fails and does not come back without reset

    You can do the same reset while driving. Just lose touch screen until reboot finishes but everything else works the same. No speed reading etc.

    Lost Voice Commands

    Since the latest software update 2022.20.8 I have had consistent cellular connection issues. I am driving in areas that have never been problematic before. I also have 4+ bars of LTE. Seems to be most noticeable with voice commands and traffic data. Spotify though is also less reliable. This...

    Software update - Stuck on last check date

    I'm on 2022.12.3.12 and it's been stuck on Jun 12 as the last update check.

    Trunk only opening halfway sometimes after 2022.8.3 install

    Hmm, that does suck. What happens if you press the button on the trunk again? In my case, if I press the button when it's only partially open the trunk closes. Then when I press the button again it opens fully without stopping. I'm wondering if that might be less stressful to the trunk mechanism...

    Trunk only opening halfway sometimes after 2022.8.3 install

    I'm not sure why the hinges would be more stressed by you opening it manually vs the electric motor. If anything I think opening it from a central position of the tailgate by hand would put less stress on the hinges than a single electric piston on the left-hand side Since the force will be in...

    Trunk only opening halfway sometimes after 2022.8.3 install

    True. It's very hard to understand without seeing the software code how any of these things really relate together. That being said, I have noticed that when I use the sentry live camera I have a ton of sentry events when I get back to my car. It's almost like while I'm viewing the sentry live...

    Trunk only opening halfway sometimes after 2022.8.3 install

    In my experience, the trunk has opened to the same partial point every time this incident has occurred. If you say yours is getting worse and not opening as far, It makes me wonder if it's in fact a Hardware as well as a software issue in your case. There are sensors in the trunk that stop it...

    Trunk only opening halfway sometimes after 2022.8.3 install

    All good points. I would argue that the dash cam and sentry are somewhat closely related in terms of pieces of functionality that they touch. They both touch the camera systems that are used to view the areas around the car. In fact it seems quite logical that the dash cam would utilize the same...

    Trunk only opening halfway sometimes after 2022.8.3 install

    I suppose. Here's the thing though. Software always has bugs. How do you prioritize and fix those bugs is just as important as preventing them. There are multiple teams working on software at Tesla. I doubt the same team that works on full self driving and safety features is working on the...

    Trunk only opening halfway sometimes after 2022.8.3 install

    Also, if you press the open/close button again what happens? In my case, when this is happens if I press the button the trunk closes, but if I tap the button again after it's closed it opens fully.

    Trunk only opening halfway sometimes after 2022.8.3 install

    Out of curiosity, when the trunk only opens partially have you tried raising it up manually all the way and then holding down the open/close button until it beeps? It almost seems like it's got some sort of a memory that's not getting cleared properly for that location. The preferred height of...

    Trunk only opening halfway sometimes after 2022.8.3 install

    I think the feature is malfunctioning but I do think it's probably intended to prevent hitting things directly behind the vehicle (i.e. like a garage door). I think there is some bug that is causing it to be oversensitive or not open when there's nothing at all behind the vehicle. I have pulled...

    Trunk only opening halfway sometimes after 2022.8.3 install

    Well, I think this may have more to do with something that's very close to your rear end like a garage door when it's closed. If you pull into your garage, close the garage door, and it's only 12 inches or so from the rear bumper it's very possible that the swing of the trunk could hit the door...

    Trunk only opening halfway sometimes after 2022.8.3 install

    I have 2022.12.3.2 and it still happens occasionally. Does seem less often though.

    Model 3 trunk beeping twice and stopping halfway?

    Still seeing the issue on 2022.12.3.2. It only happens to me the first time I try opening the trunk after parking. I tried it today from the touchscreen and it open halfway, I taped close, and then tapped open again and it opened all the way.

    What version of vehicle software are the Teslas running?

    540 Vehicle Server Error

    What do you mean a dedicated account? It still needs an API token for your vehicle so it's still making requests to your Tesla.

    TeslaFi causing 540 vehicle server errors?

    It's sleeping often when this happens. Still it only occurs with TeslaFi logging enabled so it's clear to me that TeslaFi is at least part of the issue if not the root cause. I've also not changed my TeslaFi settings for months and have had very few issues until updating to 2022.12.3.1. I think...

    TeslaFi causing 540 vehicle server errors?

    I'm not using another logger and I can say that this started happening very frequently since updating to 2022.12.3.1 I'm thinking something in that update reduced the threshold for requests. Or it's simply a bug in the firmware but regardless it makes using TeslaFi less than ideal at this...

    TeslaFi causing 540 vehicle server errors?

    Rebooting indeed helps. I've experienced this before in the past and it usually has not recurred more often than "once in a while". However, over the past week it has been recurring very regularly. I suspect it's something to do with a Tesla firmware update that is more sensitive to repeated...

    540 Vehicle Server Error

    I use TeslaFi. I've been getting this error a lot lately and after disabling logging with TeslaFi the errors have stopped occurring. As soon as I reenable logging with TeslaFi the errors return at a regular cadence. At this time there is a high correlation between TeslaFi being enabled and this...

    TeslaFi causing 540 vehicle server errors?

    Tesla has stated that this error is caused by too many requests to their API/vehicle over a period of time. When I turn off TeslaFi logging the error ceases to occur. Within 24 hours of re-enabling the logging from TeslaFi the error starts to occur in a regular cadence. This did not used to be...

    Persistent 500 Server Error / 540 Vehicle Server Error

    I had the opposite experience. Earlier this morning everything was fine and after I updated to 4.5.0 I started getting 500 Server Error and 503 Server Maintenance. It seems to be better now but I don't think it's related to the app update but rather the result of some server side maintenance or...

    Whelp, hypothesis sounds incorrect. I also precondition and am connected to a charger. When I was at home last night i noticed it pulsing while plugged in and charging.

    Glowing Climate icon

    I've noticed this for several weeks and i have an untested theory: The climate icon has 3 states indicate the following: Dim: climate is manually turned off. In other words, it was turned off while in the vehicle and won't turn on automatically when you get in and sit down. Lit: climate is...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Flew from BTV to Newark. It's cheap and takes an hour. One way is anywhere from $50-$200 economy depending on date. I took a 30 minute Uber to the Tesla.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Delivery day arrived yesterday. It was an awesome day filled with excitement and anxiety (based on horror stories read here and on Reddit). I'm happy to report the experience was great and the car is as near perfect as I could hope. I had a 300+ mile journey home from NJ to my island home in...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I'm so excited. Pick mine up in NJ on Monday morning. Flying down and looking forward to the 5 hour solo road trip home. It's nice hearing about experiences like yours. I'm also an engineer, and my perfectionism and anxiety creep in and remind me of stories on this forum of not so great first...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    For anyone taking delivery in Paramus NJ soon, I emailed a virtual advisor today to try and shore up a a date for scheduling a flight. My car is due to arrive at the SC on 11/27 and regarding when to plan a flight he had this to say: "Your vehicle is still at its halfway mark - when its on its...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    How soon after the car arrives at the SC can it be picked up? Mine is due to arrive in Paramus on 11/27. The rep on the phone said he'd expect the pickup to be scheduled the following Saturday. A full week seems like a pretty long wait for inspection. I was hoping earlier the next week like...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    That's odd. I had mine as cash and got a VIN on 11/16. OD 10/10. EDD 11/27-13/3. I changed to loan after I got the VIN last week. Got approved and am now just waiting to schedule pickup in Paramus, NJ.

    I don't think FSD matters. It seems that the only consistent factor is the base level trim with Performance being the shortest delivery time, LR then rear wheel.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I'm Paramus too. When I called last week the SA said my car was arriving at the SC on 11/28 and would likely be ready by 12/3. Just can't book a flight on "likely".

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    That is high. I just added my M3LR (Paramus pickup) to my policy and it's $92/month for that car. Ohio Mutual (through my local insurance agent). '21 Honda Pilot and the Tesla and I are $1,881/year. That's with my deductible upped to $1000 (was $500).

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I know in VT if you sell your current car +- 3 months before/after purchasing a new car you deduct the sale price of the old car from the taxable portion of the new car so it'd be a wash.

    Regarding the USB ports, do you expect they could be installed via mobile service? I'm in northwest Vermont a few hundred miles from the closest SC. I've heard the Tesla ranger that services my area is very competent and everyone seems to love him. I would just hate to have to drive down to...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I took the time to look up and read the review of the model 3 for 2022 and it is a very positive review and echos much of the good and bad I hear from owners in this forum. Hardly a scathing review.
