    This Latest Attempt to Force FSD Upon Everyone is Hurting the FSD Cause More Than Helping

    I find it very cool, but the car is just too much fun to drive to just sit there. I could see me using it on a long slog down route 80 to ease the stress of highway driving. One thing I definitely like is the visualizations though. I wish that would remain, even a small charge just for that I...

    Supercharger - Orangeburg, NY

    What is the deal with this site? Open it already!

    People who don't buy because of "charging time"

    People just really need to be honest with themselves about their use case. How many miles do you REALLY drive on a daily basis. How often REALLY do you take long road trips. I haven’t used a supercharger in over a year. The one long road trip I took I stopped for 10 minutes on the way there...

    Using only the camera turn signal when changing lanes

    I use the camera to see if anybody is coming up on me, then look out the window to see if anybody is right next to me. Although the new blind spot indicator helps with that. But my Gen X brain can’t fathom changing lanes without looking out the window. LOL.

    wipers stopped working on auto

    Everybody constantly complaining got Tesla to change the algorithm. Now my auto-wipers, which were the best I ever had, now suck. Thanks to all the complainers!

    Widgets broken on 4.26.0

    Yeah me too. Just a blank rectangle.

    Tesla rigged the dashboard readouts in its electric cars to provide “rosy” [range] projections

    This kind of thing happens every once in a while in the auto industry. I remember in the 80’s cars routinely saying they got in 40’s for MPG. Or much higher Horsepower ratings. The EPA usually gets around to adjusting things. They never talked about range before EVs came around. In my...

    Just Installed Update v2023.26.1—Camera View On TESLA App Is A HUGE Disappointment!!!

    I’d be happy if they stinched together the side repeaters and the rear camera at least. It’s pretty good right now backing up and they could use it when going forward as well. I don’t really need a front camera, I mean I can see for myself in front of me for crying out loud. It’s the sides...

    Am I Crazy, Or Has the TESLA iOS App Icon Changed Colors…???

    Yes it has changed colors, can’t comment on the crazy part though ;)

    People who don't buy because of "charging time"

    Not to mention all the time waiting for your car to have its oil changed. Even if only 2 times per year you need to add another hour to that total.

    Will Tesla Buildup Superchargers to Accommodate Anticipated Demand from Ford, GM, Rivian, and whoever else, Adopting NACS circa 2024/2025?

    To be fair I have used a Supercharger exactly 1 time this year and only 4 times in the last 12 months. I see more and more Teslas that my wife says there is no longer anything special about them! I love it, the more the merrier I say!

    Will Tesla Buildup Superchargers to Accommodate Anticipated Demand from Ford, GM, Rivian, and whoever else, Adopting NACS circa 2024/2025?

    Wow! You are in Supercharger utopia. Here in Orange County NY we have exactly 3 total and only 1 within 15 Miles.

    Car Wash Mode: The Requirement to Apply Brake to Access Free Roll/Drive is Dangerous

    While I won’t go as far as to call it “Dangerous”, it is damn annoying I must say.

    (Lack of) Superchargers in Whitefish, MT

    I was in Whitefish last year. Yes it’s a beautiful town but with only level 2 you have to plan, bring a mobile charger, and charge fully at the last available supercharger on your route. It’s pretty bad that one of the most beautiful parks around doesn’t have a supercharger in the gateway town.

    16v Lithium battery Weber State Video

    John Kelly is the MAN! I especially loved his series on the first mass produced Automatic Transmission. The Gm Hydramatic. It’s amazing how those guys basically invented these parts from nothing and most of those parts and concepts are still used in todays transmissions! Plus he explains...

    Still on 2023.2.12...

    I am also on 2023.2.12, but I’m ok with that. I would rather have fewer(maybe quarterly) better tested releases than having to get the “Oh S#!T we screwed something up” 2023.X.1, 2023.X.2 releases.

    2023 Model 3 without USS and proximity functionality [park assist / summon not available]

    I’m curious as to why you feel that way. Do you know of some roadblock using vision only for summon or auto park when it’s being used for far more complex features?

    New M3 Performance 8.4% degradation?

    Well, I wouldn’t panic… yet. I have a M3LR with about 10,000 miles over 10 months and I’m at about 2.5% degraded so I’d keep an eye on it and remember, you have 120,000 mile warrantee on that battery. So if worse comes to worse it will be replaced free of charge.

    Auto high beams still comically bad

    I have the same experience. My only wish is that they turned back on faster. Other than that they operat as good or better than any other car I have had with them

    Unable to play music in Apple music

    Nothing on screen for me, just says “Choose Source”

    Apple Music integration…

    Yeah, this happens for me every time I exit the vehicle, even for a few minutes.

    Unable to play music in Apple music

    I am getting a similar issue, but I can login and play fine. But if I get out of the car then next time I enter I have to go through picking Apple Music as a source and starting a song all over again. It doesn’t pick up where I left off, frustrating.

    2022 Model 3 SR Accident: Acceleration While Braking to Park

    Not sure if you are asking me. But I only “thought” I was braking. I was actually pressing the accelerator harder and harder until i jumped the curb and luckily came to my senses and letup.

    2022 Model 3 SR Accident: Acceleration While Braking to Park

    At this point every car manufacturer has been accused of this occurring with one or more of their models. It is not all that hard to make that mistake, heck I did it once in my Infiniti Q50. I was positive I was pressing the brake and I wont up driving over a curb before realizing my mistake...

    Battery drain after 2022.24.8 Software update?

    Just got the .8 software. So far so good. I’ll see in the morning. The .6 release was the worst so far with this.

    Battery drain after 2022.24.8 Software update?

    I have been noticing this as well. Ever since 2022.24. First on .5 and now .6. Same issue. Parked and drops a lot. 2-3% in as little as an hour.

    New Map Update NA-2022.28-14046

    Just out of curiosity. Does anybody know the internal storage capacity? I have the 2022 M3LR and I have done some searches but can’t find this info? Is it in the UI somewhere?

    2022.20.8

    Since this update my Drivers door no longer unlocks when I walk up to the car. I need to pull out my phone and tap the unlock icon to get in. First time an update broke something for me. Inevitable I guess.

    How to deal with phantom braking?

    I just experienced Phantom Braking for this first time. But it was in a Rented Brand New Ford Edge. I thought I would try Blue Cruise and compare since I had the vehicle for a week. Besides the bouncing down the lane(It can’t keep you centered very well) I had one very strong braking event...

    Does anyone else's 3 whistle?

    Sorry to resurrect this old thread but I am having this now on my brand new 2022 M3LR. Sounds like a bird chirping, probably from like 20MPH and up. And yes, I like to drive with just the drivers window down. Don’t use A/C unless it’s in the 90’s. Anybody ever really nail this down?

    Model 3 Instrument Cluster - Tsportline

    I don’t think it looks OEM at all. It looks like the dash in an ‘X’ or an ’S’ but not in the ‘3’ or ‘Y’. The dash in the X and S have the center screen blended into the dash and the cluster follows the same theme. But in the 3 and Y you have a screen separate from the dash so this looks...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Ok, back home now. They did a pretty decent job, the only thing is the Drivers Door. That was my number one and it is still not right, kind of aggravating. They fixed everything else, hood is spot on, replaced charge port that was misaligned and also did a front end alignment because the...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Basically dealers feel they have a god-given right to rip you off. I wish they would all just go away. I’ve had zero good interactions with dealers from sales to service, all brands, they all suck.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Washed the car for the first time today, and I know I was warned but the front of this car sure is one huge bug magnet! 5 Days of mostly around town driving and there must have been over 100 bug splatters on there. It’s like they’re purposely flying into it or something!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Hey, no problem. But, to be honest, you should keep it a secret when you get your car so we can continue this madness. LOL

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I decided on an Homage to my all-time favorite band RUSH and named the car ROCINANTE from the song Cygnus X-1 from Farewell to Kings. Yeah, I was in High School in the good ole 80’s.
