    Cabin Overheat Protection: *solved* issue of not turning on

    I wound up trying all sorts of things, including uninstalling and re-installing the app software, rebooted the car at least twice, then suddenly, over the weekend, I noticed "cabin overheat protection" appearing under the climate heading on the app for the first time since the trouble began...

    Cabin Overheat Protection: *solved* issue of not turning on

    I just booked a service appointment with Tesla after my COP stopped functioning. Battery well over 50%. Car was parked with it turned off for more than 12 hours. Tried a thumb wheel reset. No joy. Tried it with Sentry Mode Off. No joy. Not going to delete profiles, though. Diagnostic...

    How to replace cabin air filter 2016 to 2020 Model S

    I watched your video just to see if it could be any more convoluted than changing the filters on a Model 3. I was really hoping it was going to be less involved and easier for you Model S folks. Doesn't appear to be?

    Solved: Road Noise & Front Wind Noise

    It would be helpful (to me, at least) if you could post a picture or two of the actual installation so I can get a better handle on exactly where this goes and what it's supposed to be doing. Also, what year is your car?

    Vendor FullShade - The First Retractable Roof Sunshade for Tesla Mode 3 and Model Y

    From what I can gather, the Model 3 version attaches differently, using only clips. Also, which was even more important for me, is that they take up less window space on the sides to hide the tracks. The Model Y version, instead of one large piece, is now in four pieces, which greatly reduces...

    Vendor FullShade - The First Retractable Roof Sunshade for Tesla Mode 3 and Model Y

    Yes! I bought one a few weeks ago when I first became aware of the new version. I haven't noticed any buffeting with my windows down at all, then again, I typically don't drive with them down, but I did drop my driver's window and back window the other day when the weather was just beautiful...

    DIY Filter Replacement Tips

    These are the filters I've purchased twice for replacing. They appear identical in form and construction to the OEM filters, but just cost less. There are a whole lot of other options, mind you, but these were what I decided to go with, along with Klima cleaner for the coils. This size can is...

    DIY Filter Replacement Tips

    I ran mine (fan only, no AC) for about 20 minutes before replacing. Instead of putting the plastic cover back on during the drying period, I just stuffed a rag in the opening. I also used a leaf blower to blow out any loose debris caught in the chamber and bought one of these to prevent more...

    Can Teslacam And Music Folder In Same Thumb Drive?

    I've come a long way since my original post, here. And yes, I use a SanDisk 256GB High Endurance Video microSDXC Card with USB Adapter partitioned into two drives - one for the music the other for Teslacam and I've been running it this way since last July with nary a hiccough.

    What has happened with the rollout of V11?

    Maybe, but I've had mine on the whole time and still... nada. Now I know how the kids in elementary school that get chosen last to be on the "team" feel. LOL

    What has happened with the rollout of V11?

    I know that most FSD beta users have either received 11.3.2, 11.3.3, 11.3.4 and a few 11.3.5. How is it that all these weeks later, I'm still waiting for any version of 11? My last update was January 14th with 10.69.25.2. I keep checking TeslaFi to see what's going on and it looks like the...

    Question for those regularly using USB drive for music playback:

    The volume names really don't matter. I named mine "Music" and the other one "Teslacam. You can create folders and subfolders for organization, if you wish. You still have to create a Teslacam folder in the Teslacam volume.

    Charge port damage: How serious?

    Just had this happen to me on my December 2018 build Model 3 yesterday. I usually charge at home. This was only my second time of supercharging. I had no idea what was going wrong. The first charger I tried had a bent pin, so I figured that must be the problem. I tried three more stalls...

    Solved: Road Noise & Front Wind Noise

    Wow, this really looks great. I'm going to try it, however, being an audio guy with a dB meter, I will be taking measurements before and after to help quantify the actual results. Can you please provide an Amazon link to the rubber you placed on the A pillar? It looks like a great match to...

    Anti-EV comments heard on my roadtrip so far

    You buried the lede. I want to know how you get 3 seconds in zero to 60 in a LR Model 3. ;-)

    My Tesla "Used Inventory" buying experience

    Bought mine from Tesla a year ago. A higher mileage 2018 LR with AB and FSD. So, even though I paid on the higher end (it was a two months before the used prices started to skyrocket) it doesn't bother me at all. I love this car so much that it has been well worth it. Like you, I was nervous...

    Question about high beams + fog lights?

    Is there some sort of a law against having fog lights and high beams operational at the same time? I like being able to see the road directly in front with the fogs, kind of like driving lights, but with the added long distance illumination of the high beams. Not a big thing. Just curious. I...

    Set to have power trunk retrofitted to my 2018 Model 3 today

    I am scheduled to have someone install a power trunk to my 2018 Model 3 this afternoon. I've been wanting the convenience of it, but then last night on a different forum, someone posted photos of one of the powered struts freezing, causing the opposite side to shift the trunk lid enough to...

    VCFRONT_a135_coolantlevellow Service Mode Error?

    I wound up adding maybe 3-5oz tops, before reaching the max file line. So, not very much in other words. I expect that it's not worth scheduling a service call, hence the lack of a bulletin in the main driving mode, but something the techs can see if you bring the car in for something else and...

    VCFRONT_a135_coolantlevellow Service Mode Error?

    Just had the same when looking around in service mode on my used 2018 Model 3 DM LR. My Tesla warranty just expired recently. Thinking I'll take a look myself. If the reservoir is bone dry, I'll schedule a service appointment. If it just needs a small top up to the max fill line, I'll just...

    Grinding sound when using summon

    Nope, but it may be of interest to note that this problem is not exclusive to the Model S. Perhaps not. Didn't mean to step on any toes.

    Grinding sound when using summon

    I'm kinda late to this party, but my 2018 Model 3 (purchased in March, 2022) makes an awful metal on metal screeching noise when using summon in reverse, at least. Sounds like it's coming from the front wheels. This can't be right or good. I've scheduled a service appt. to see what they say...

    Question for those regularly using USB drive for music playback:

    I have a 2018 Model 3 and here's your answer. Your music defaults back to streaming for two reasons: There is no USB option in the default music settings. Whenever your car goes to sleep, power gets cut to your USB ports. So when you start the car back up, it reverts to your last used...

    Windshield fluid level sensor

    I got no warning message in my 2018 Model 3 wiper fluid being low. I had to find out when I needed to use it and nothing came out. Do I have a bad sensor?

    Buying a Salvage Tesla

    You'd better look into whether you can even buy insurance once you repair it. Most insurance carriers won't touch a salvage title vehicle with a ten foot pole or they will charge you up the wazoo for very limited coverage.

    Can Teslacam And Music Folder In Same Thumb Drive?

    Reviving this thread with a different question pertaining to USB drives. I am using two different drives in my 2018 Model 3. One for Tesla Cam and the other USB drive for music only. Originally, I was using a USB flash drive and it showed "Favorites | Songs | Artists | Genre | Albums |...

    Auto volume adjustment with speed

    Missing independent subwoofer control

    USB music getting disconnected

    Okay, this is interesting. I was reading another thread about this in the Model X forum and someone said they were able to return to their USB music where they left off, by saying "USB" as a voice command after the USB port shows up on the tray. I just tried it, and it worked! There was no...

    USB music getting disconnected

    Thanks for the welcome. Yes, I came to realize that it's the USB ports going to sleep that kept it from returning to USB as the default and left in in Sentry Mode, even in my own garage, for a couple of days to see if my USB music would be preserved. Unfortunately, I fear that preventing the...

    Chrome replacement parts?

    I noticed just a slight gap between the rear window chrome piece where it connects to the front window chrome piece a few days ago, then forgot about it. Today, I compared it with the passenger side, which is a nice, tight joint. Taking a more careful look, I can see that the longer chrome...
