    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    Personally, I find that ignoring people with whom I disagree doesn't help the situation either. If someone's being an obvious troll just to get a rise out of me, sure. But I generally wait until it's obvious, and until then, I give them the benefit of the doubt that they're being serious and...

    By the way, I am not going to be even the slightest bit surprised if this message gets deleted and my account banned by a moderator because I'm speaking up about this. Go ahead, prove my point.

    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    I'm going to try to put this as politely as I can. The person who attacked Paul Pelosi admitted to officers that he intended to assault or even kill Nancy Pelosi, who just so happens to be an elected official of the United States Government. Given other attacks on the government that I'm going...

    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    This is how people make the news these days. Say something really sensational, provocative, outrageous, etc., wait for it to get a bunch of retweets and likes, then delete it. The news sites notice, and they make an even bigger deal out of it because "Oh, they deleted that tweet! They must have...

    Navigation going bonkers

    It's awfully hard to tell what's serious and what's "just kidding" these days. :P

    Navigation going bonkers

    What, saying nav systems can do weird things with bad data? I was just asking if this was related to a software update and mentioned some odd behavior a previous car had with bad data. What's wrong with that?

    Power Delay [acceleration delay when pushing accelerator]

    I was going to ask also if this happens on any sort of less-than-perfect pavement (bumpy, slippery, gravel on the ground, etc.). If so, it may also be that the car is detecting minor slippage and delaying the acceleration until it's confirmed that the tires have firm traction. My first Prius had...

    M3: Left door pillar camera frequently "blinded" according to screen, left-side viz seems dodgy

    I posted this before doing a thorough search of the forum last night. I see others have been having this issue as well and that there are some possible workarounds. I do wonder why Tesla thinks this is normal, though - you'd think anything that would prevent a primary feature of the car from...

    Suspension squeaking/groaning

    This summer, during our incessant smoke from wildfires in the region, my 3 started squeaking and groaning over bumpy roads and around turns. It's definitely coming from somewhere in the suspension, though I can't quite figure out if it's the front or the rear. My steering wheel also squeaks a...

    Structural noise, difficult to explain

    Are you referring to the "knock" at exactly 3.0 secs? That sounded to me like it could have just been something touching the phone, but if that's coming from the car, I wonder if it's a rattle or bump caused by the road. Does the car feel like it's doing anything unusual when that happens? Or is...

    Navigation going bonkers

    Is this related to the recent rollout of the feature that can show you three routes when you start nav? This sounds a lot like bad nav data and/or bad traffic readings. If it helps any, the navigation unit in my old Prius sometimes did weird stuff like that too. Going north on the I-5 Express...

    Tire pressure when cold recommendation for Model 3

    FWIW, my 2019 M3 says 45 PSI on the door frame and on the screen (as of a recent update). I noticed the screen bit when the TPMS went off with the colder weather - my tires had gone down to 38-39. My concern about the 45 PSI recommendation is that when it was 90+ degrees out, my tires got...

    Will just say I find these more recent posts far more helpful and friendly. Thanks. I'll leave you all alone now.

    I personally disagree that the OP's title and post represented an "extreme" position. It struck me as a legitimate concern. Perhaps it could have been written better and in a less provocative manner, but I would probably have said something similar had there not already been a post on it that...

    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    I'll add that the pattern I'm seeing here is that as soon as a person says anything critical of Elon, a bunch of other people jump all over them and go "Oh, you must hate Tesla! You're with Big Oil! You're just letting politics run your life!" I think it's pretty hypocritical to do that when you...

    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    See, IMO, this doesn't help the conversation. "Just kidding" seems to be the fashionable way to justify making incredibly crass and dismissive comments toward people with whom you disagree. "Just kidding" is also the kind of rhetoric that gets people killed these days. And if this is how Tesla...

    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    My point, and the point that I believe the OP was trying to make, and which I'm sure you've all seen many times elsewhere, is that while I completely agree with everyone that Tesla makes the best and safest and most technologically advanced cars in the world, Elon isn't doing the company or its...

    Thanks. Seriously, though, it's kinda disturbing to see several pages of basically "shut up and go away" (to put it politely) in response to a legitimate question, as the very first thing in my feed. As the owner of a 3, I really don't want to be associated with that level of toxicity, so I...

    M3: Left door pillar camera frequently "blinded" according to screen, left-side viz seems dodgy

    Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue. Pretty much every since I got my 2019 M3 LR, the car has frequently displayed a notice that the left door pillar camera is blocked or blinded, and that I should clean it or wait for it to become unblocked. This happens in all weather and...

    Wow. I just joined this forum, and I guess I'll just be closing my account right now. Way too much toxicity in this thread alone.
