    New FSD v12 automatic speed setting works pretty well

    It seems to not recognize any speed limit signs around here at all. Oddly regular autopilot recognizes them all. It reads 55 in a 65 and goes 45. It reads 65 in a 45 and goes 55…not good in these little towns! The actual driving has been shockingly good, but I have to constantly use the scroll...

    FSD 12 perspective from a previous skeptic

    it’s just “ok” for our commute. It does not recognize the speed changes and wants to go 45 in a 65. Strangely it recognized it fine with basic autopilot. I could see long stretches on the highway but autopilot already does that. Lange changes are choppy and too conservative to pass. It freaks...

    23' Red Color - PPF, Ceramic Coating?

    Had front PPF and full ceramic. Worth it thus far! Have seen multiple places that would have been rock chips and the PPF did its job and even self healed mostly. Ceramic coating has made clean up a breeze. Paid 3k if I recall 6 months ago. Would do it again even though it’s a big cost. The front...

    Tesla M3 passenger door check strap making popping noises when closing and opening.

    Ours has done that from day one on the driver side rear. When we had the speaker replaced (shorting) I asked about it and the service advisor wrote it down. He said it’s a common issue and the part is backordered. That was months ago haven't heard back….actually forgot about it till this thread...

    Brake Lights on Screen too dull…fix?

    I was just curious as to when the brake light turn on as 90% of our driving we never touch the brake. Don’t assume everyone is driving distracted….although present company excluded they are!

    The diameter is all the same, 18” tire has more sidewall then the 19” but overall diameter the same.

    Brake Lights on Screen too dull…fix?

    The screen shows when brake lights come on but it is so faint/small one must squint to see it. Any way to adjust this?

    StanceMagic Spare Tire?

    We have it. When testing the Jack does indeed have clearance issues, even with a full tire. Solution is to have something to drive the flat onto to increase the clearance. small piece of wood or something. Tire and kit look nice and everything fits in the bag.

    Received the Door Sill protectors and gotta say….impressed! Fit perfectly and look like they belong. This is something I would have purchased for the price. Installed about a week and they are staying in place fine. Thread 'Lasfit Door Sills (Recommend!)' Lasfit Door Sills (Recommend!)

    Lasfit Product Reviews

    This is the first ‘mod’ my wife did not roll her eyes at! Did not realize her disdain for loose fries stuck between the sills… These fit perfectly and look like they belong. I have had them on for a week and they have not budged. The flap fits under the rubber seal so it makes it nice and...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Same speaker noise over rough roads…..I think it’s shorting the speaker wires as they make contact with the chassis. Mobile service is scheduled for September. (I’m 5 hours from any service station). Doesn’t happen often though

    Experience of owners in Louisiana

    Central LA…We ordered online and picked up in Jackson, MS. Memphis is all that showed up till we ordered; then when the order showed up it said Jackson. 200 mile drive no problem with range. We stopped at the supercharge in Vicksburg for 10 minutes to see how it worked but it was not necessary...

    Is new M3 LR AWD HW4?

    Picked up Monday. HW3 not LFP battery. It’s the Chinese equivalent of the Panasonic one thus slightly less range. Flawless finish and cameras are working great. Also vision distance so far is accurate and is 360 on the measurements. Don’t think I would gain anything from HW4 for a year so very...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    How does on tell if the cameras are hw4? I doubt it looks like all the other ones…however the 200 mile drive home the cameras worked great when changing lanes and the “park assist” or whatever they call it with the ldistance around the car while pulling into the carport was spot on. (Jackson, MS...

    Why are inventory cars only able to be registered in certain states?

    Probably been discussed in the last but it is frustrating that car can only be registered in certain states. I am in Louisiana and already have to go to Tennessee to pick up. Why is that? I mean take my money!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Y does not do it for me….they named it correctly….whY! I would have had to change the 20” wheels and now can just wait and see if I can live with the 18’s and if not get some nice 19s Once the first set of tires head replacing. Frankly like most people we never drive more than 200 miles unless...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Ordered LR 5/3/23 estimated June 2023 was leaning Performance but hated the 20” rims as were in pothole land…can’t justify getting new wheels within months. Wife wants range over speed so this is a good sweet spot.
