I can't tell any real difference except in the first few seconds of engagement. If you don't have some force applied to the wheel and if your eyes aren't on the road it will nag. After that smooth sailing. If anything, it feels like the interval of time you can have your hands off the wheel...

I can't imagine why not. They just took off the rearview mirror assembly and swapped the board. There rest was just changing settings in the service menu.

I've owned my 2019 Model 3 for a bit over 12 months now and I've just had my first experience with Tesla service and I gotta say I'm very impressed. The basic warranty is up of course. The car developed an intermittent fault in the cabin camera. I used the app to put in a service request...

So replacing the camera module seems to have solved the problem. My commute is 65 minutes and it performed flawlessly yesterday evening and this morning. I gotta say that I'm pretty impressed with with Tesla service. My two previous cars were Jaguar and BMW and neither of them would send a...

I had Tesla mobile service out today. The replaced the camera assembly for $364. Not sure what accounts for the price difference. I actually thought that was fairly reasonable to on-site service. I've yet to drive it but will report back tomorrow.

I went ahead and scheduled a service call. They are set to replace it on Monday. Definitely going to watch the work and see if there is indeed a crimped coax cable and make sure its replaced.

The update to 2023.44.30.8 didn't fix the problem. Wish we knew more about this pinched coax and whether or not it could be a DIY fix.

I'm starting to suspect that it really is a hardware problem. Some sort of intermittent fault with the camera.

This is precisely what mine is doing.

Excellent news. Thanks for the info.

I decided to put in a service request for this today. A few minutes after scheduling a mobile servicing I received this message. So sounds like we will be getting an over the air fix for this. Hopefully soon.

I'm having this problem as well. I've had the "cabin camera unavailable" error on and off for a while but it only started disabling FSD after the December update. Very annoying. I happens both at night and in daylight.

Well ok then, lol. They reinvented something that has worked perfectly for decades. Thanks for the info.

Also not sure why they are calling it a "bag". It's certainly a metal canister on the high pressure loop so there is no way it's a bag. It will set ahead of the expansion valve/capillary tube to keep it from ice-fouling in the event a trace of moisture has entered the system.

I have never heard of a service requirement like this. The AC refrigerant loop is sealed. The desiccant should only need to be changed if the loop is opened for service or broken in an accident.

I honestly didn't know the car had a rear foglamp. My old Jag had a single rear foglamp on the left side. Everyone always thought I had a brake light stuck on.

I've noticed that my 2018 Model 3 doesn't ever seem to drip AC condensate. According the google the drain is under the frunk and it just drips onto the plastic panel. Does it just build up there until it finds a way out? I guess that is one way to ensure that the drain is never clogged with...

That makes sense.

My problem with stop signs is that it trys to stop at two different stop signs on a rural road that are meant for the cross traffic. The roads cross at an extremely acute angle so the sign is angled toward the oncoming lanes. To be honest, even a rookie human driver would be confused. I'm...

Does the FSD Beta system learn as it goes? Since the 2022.45.15 upgrade my car has consistently missed a rural exit off the interstate. On the nav display it showed that the exit was 200 feet further down the road than it is in reality. I would disengage, take the exit and report. I did this...

I briefly considered the Bolt EUV when I was car shopping. I was put off by the horribly slow recharge time and frankly just the look of it. The EUV is a bit better than the original Bolt but neither will win a beauty contest. Used Model 3 v new Bolt EUV the Tesla wins every time.

Had a bald eagle swoop in and take a good look at the M3 on my way into work. I'm sure he had heard that the M3 has the highest American made content of any car and just wanted to pay his respects.

Nice report. Thanks. I also noticed vastly improved results with V11 on twisty, hilly country roads. It was nearly unusable before and now is nearly perfect. I don't really use it in town. Seems kina pointless really, more of a novelty.

My commute is about 60 miles each way. About half on rural roads with no shoulders and no outside white lines. V10 was almost unusable on these roads. It would panic brake with nearly every on-coming pickup truck. The roads are narrow enough that the trucks pretty much have to ride the...

Interesting perspective. https://www.autoblog.com/2023/02/28/toyota-rethinking-long-term-ev-strategy-ceo-koji-sato/

Right? I became acutely aware of that too. Aware of the fact that I usually drive much closer to outside of the lane than the Tesla. It was unnerving at first.

Congrats! I had a very similar experience with buying my M3 used from Tesla. It's so rewarding to drive I'm pondering selling my Lotus Elise.

From the post I quoted: "My understanding is that if a Tesla with FSD goes through Tesla's hands, then they generally de-install the FSD package. If the car is at CarMax or some non-Tesla dealer somewhere, then that doesn't happen." For the record I would very surprised if they did deactivate...

I purchased a 2019 M3 in January from Tesla Indianapolis. It was advertised on their website as having FSD and it's included on the sales contract. I will very upset if they deactivate it.

2019 M3 Dual Motor, LR, FSD, Performance Boost wearing Red Multi-Coat. Purchased pre-owned on January 7 with 26,xxx miles it now has 29,329. I have a 630-mile weekly commute so the miles will add up fast. Charge at home with a Tesla wall charger. I absolutely love this car. My prior two...

I just picked up my pre-owned M3 last week and this is definitely the most annoying behavior I've seen so far. Fortunately I drive mostly on rural interstates with little merging traffic. I usually try and move to the left lane if anyone at all is coming down the on-ramp. Would love to see a...
