Warranty? If so, use the Tesla App to report "loose interior trim panel, near rear hatch".

Yes. But there may be methods used by Tesla's AI team, for providing supplemental end-to-end model training in the form of video clips with negative or positive consequences. To enforce a rule-based approach, such supplemental training videos could be AI-generated from script,

Is using Voice Commands the only way to provide FSD feedback ? Found this in the Tesla Model 3 Owners Manual under "Consumer Information" (see Note below on using Voice Commands).

Can anyone that has done this upgrade, post photos of their Model 3, showing ride height after the install?

Personally, I haven't set aside time to report these Firmware Update defects. The following is from the "Tesla Model 3 Owners Manual", under "Consumer Information". . . .

I haven't had any USB issues on my 2018 M3 (Intel Atom MCU) until this week, after installing update V12 (2024.14.9). That was with updates thru 2024.14.5 (FSD Supervised v12.3.6), The Dashcam and Sentry Mode are now both flakey. Sometimes car wakes up with a red "X", other times wakes up with...

Might be drive motor inverter noise and not gear noise. The inverter resonance with chassis is only noticeable between 30-45 mph, while under light acceleration and with no background noises present..

Yes, ride hailing, just like UBER. But how long before Tesla full autonomy? Definitely getting closer, but not soon. In China right now, it appears, due to shrinking economy, ride hailing industry is UPSIDE DOWN, with vast oversupply of fleet. Not sure about this source, but... China’s...

No, I said teaser video because it doesn't show whether anyone is in the driver seat. But it does show the destination is 5 miles away, so drive must be on city streets and "coming soon" won't happen without a driver in driver seat, otherwise no auto insurance company, anytime "soon", is going...

From the closing teaser video following Q&A of the 2024 Tesla Shareholder Meeting Tesla App showing "Summon" button Presses "Summon" button.. Shows car (Model Y) 3 minutes away and Stanford Shopping Center destination via Car's Calendar Adjusts Interior Climate temperature on App with fancy...

Was any of your camera calibration drive on city streets? I would want camera calibration to include that too. I usually include a couple of miles on City Streets which results in about 50% complete for both Autopilot and FSD calibration. City Streets calibration should provide less chance of...

The gas pressure in the shocks, is there to help prevent the hydraulic oil inside from foaming up with air and reducing the damping affect. The gas pressure, when at sufficient pressure, has nothing to do with the damping ability. Another consideration with the unloaded rebound test mentioned...

No, he is saying that after removing the old shocks from the car and manually compressing both new and old shocks, he noticed that the old shocks rebounded from compressed state much slower than the new ones. City and Highway driving can be just as harsh depending on the size of the bumps.

Nice. Did you lift the bellows up to compare the new bump stops with the old, to see if they are dimensionally the same? I noticed a gap between the bellow perch and the bellow on your old rear shock not present on the new shock. The old bellow appears to be the same part, so was thinking the...

According to Whole Mars Catalog, a Consumer Reports recent review rated Mercedes-Benz Driver Assistance with a higher score than Tesla Autopilot. Probably not a fair comparison when using FSD V12.3.6, but quite funny to watch none the less.. YouTube.com Whole Mars Catalog Vid

Any comments about the ability to bring the wheel alignment back to factory specs after changing the springs or coil-overs? Camber changes with ride height, so different springs might improve shock travel, but affect ride height

I used adhesive backed Velcro strips to adhere the front license plate holder to the PPF. Installed 5+ years ago, without problems.

I agree, the side view mirrors are poor for viewing, but great looking from the outside. You can set the side cameras to display on the center display when applying turn signals. There is also blind spot warning settings. Basically with the car's traffic visualization on the center display...

Could be the cameras come with the B pillar part as an assembly. It might be interesting to find out if they changed the B pillar applique part number on other car models with change to Autopilot 4.0 cameras.

The online Tesla Service Manual details the B and C pillar seals. For 2024+ Model 3's, the applique bolt cover is molded into the camera holder glass, while on earlier Model 3's, the bolt cover is a separate part. 2024+... Earlier cars... bolt cover separate part.... The C pillar...

No. But just do it. Contrary to what the dialog box says, it doesn't require driving 100 miles. From my recent experience, Camera Calibration typically takes less than one mile of city driving combined with about 5 miles of highway driving. Be sure to do the calibration driving during mid-day...

The Sony PS5 Wireless Controllers work great. I bought this pair, but haven't used them that much. Easy to connect wirelessly to the Tesla, but it seems to take over the ON/OFF button on the PS5 Controller, Only quirk that I noticed, is a way to turn them OFF once connected wirelessly...

You won't see the driver profile on the Navigation Screen while driving the car. But if you tap on the Controls Menu icon, and at the top of the menu, you'll see the driver profile icon, which you can tap on to bring up your driver profiles, and select a different profile.

In the Controls Menu, there is a Chill setting for Acceleration under Pedals & Steering. I created a driver profile for FSD, with the acceleration set to "Chill". When driving the car, the driver profile is not shown on the Navigation Screen for selecting another profile, but you can still...

It will be like Johnny Cab in the movie Total Recall. Tesla using FSD (Supervised) with Optimus Robot doing the driver supervision. Additionally, Optimus robot will handle humanoid tasks for Supercharging, and customer needs.

Apparently FSD now requires additional Camera Calibrations, beyond the original Autopilot Camera Calibration. If you force an Autopilot Camera Re-Calibration by deleting the Calibration Data from the Controls - Service menu, you'll see that after Autopilot Calibration completes, additional FSD...

There is more information about the console wiring for both pre and post 2.0 Consoles in another forum thread on the Tesla Owners Online web site, where I discussed harness differences, wiring details, connectors, and terminal release tools, early in this other forum thread: Link.. Tesla...

Likely the bolts were improper installed following removal during a service operation or inspection. The Tesla Service Manual specifies using purple Loctite thread sealant on the associated bolt threads, along with with a torque wrench at specified torque setting.

The front bump stops are shorter, so those might work as replacements for the rear shock. But the Tesla Parts Catalog only lists the rear bump stop part number, so it looks like those front bump stops are only available with purchase of a complete coil-over shock assemblies. Since KONI does...

I found a similar clear bin tray for the rear console compartment and lined it with the same non-slip clear silicone rubber liner material as mentioned in my prior post. Clear Rear Console Bin Tray on AliExpress.com The same seller also has the front bin tray in clear acrylic plastic, however...

tom @ eas, Your web page shows parts for another make/model. Do you have photos showing the actual Tesla M3/Y parts? Tesla mounted the shocks inside the wheel wells making them more subject to wheel splatter than typical. Do these shocks provide shock bellows or do they provide bottom...

That may be true, but the installer will probably only warrant the labor for 12 months. The way Tesla mounted the shocks inside the wheel well, I'm not so sure that leaving the shock bellows off is a good idea. I plan to 3D print with ABS plastic, a modified version of the OEM shock bellow...

No, you can do whatever you want. I'm just saying, the factory wiring provides 12 volt power, and Ground, from a wiring chain of charging modules. Here's a screenshot from the Tesla Schematic Diagram, applicable for the 2.0 Center Console, that shows the same thing..

Yes, you need to plug in the harness connector at the rear USB module in order to supply +12V power to the front USB Hub and Wireless Charging Pad. That's just the way power is wired inside the 2.0 Center Console. If you look at the rear USB module connector, you'll see it has 4-pins. The...

I installed a small patch of 3M PPF behind where my front License plate resides, then after removing the factory sticky tape, attached the factory plate holder with adhesive backed Velcro strips. It's been on my M3 for almost 5 years now. No complaints.

Probably more appropriate screw for license plate, are "Truss Head" self tapping screws. Available in either black or uncoated stainless steel.

They clip in place, so you need to first unlatch them from inside, in order to remove them from outside. You need to remove the trim panel on the inside. To prevent damage to the clip when installing Lic. plate, use the proper size (M5x6) flat end self-tapping pan head screw/bolt ( piece 4 of...

Another flawed Chat GPT report.

It's more about rolling resistance which affects power efficiency and range. So, like tire design affects rolling resistance, same for hub caps.

I have a new tray design now that I really like and works great with the factory console's bin lighting. There are a few aftermarket accessary sellers that sell clear plastic trays. These clear trays usually come with opaque silicone rubber liners which need to be discarded. The tray is a...

There are still plenty of early Model 3's with FSD option, that were never updated with HW3 AutoPilot computers. Due to high cost of HW3 semiconductor foundry/fab work, when/if Tesla runs out of HW3 update board inventories, it will be much less expensive for Tesla to make compatible update...

After removing the two side screws, you need to pull directly down on one side (preferably, the side opposite the harness connector). You may need apply a slight amount of force to spread the sides apart, that is to give it some persuasion. When I removed this brace, I first disconnected the...

For year 2018 M3 2.0 Console retrofits, there's a lengthy and more detailed discussion thread, at the Tesla Motors Club forum. Thread includes harness wiring details, adapters, and how to make pin insertion/removal tools in order to swap out 26/20 housings. Link below ... Just swapped out my...

You don't need to pull the HV battery harness connector or 12V before disconnecting the Console 26-pin connector. Disconnecting the USB-data cable can be done without powering down the car. You only need to power down the car if you're disconnecting the 26-pin connector at the rear of the...

On my 2018 M3, I attached the factory license holder using adhesive backed Velcro strips. Not directly to the car's painted front bumper, but on top of a patch of a 3M brand of clear PPF film. The hard part was removing the factory license holder's 3M brand double backed adhesive tape. In...

On the data cable routing, you only need to (1) pull back/dismount the "flocked panel" holding the USB-hub, (2) (if installed ) remove the passenger side ( right ) carpet panel to expose the data cable/ car harness mating mounting post. The data cable routing drops down directly from the...

I do haves a Model 3, but mine has been updated with the later 2.0 Center Console. No Glovebox USB data, so have USB data only in front bin. Anyway, same front bin LED light as with yours.
