Looks like a beautiful car! I’m not sure you’ll get $32k though, despite all the add-ons. I’ve been spotting similar vehicles for sale at dealerships for under $30k, some now well under. If you get to a point where you really need to move this guy, try $29400 and expect to be talked down to...

I never found a solution, per se, but the issue seems to have gone away. I don't know if it's because I finally found the right equalization or if it was really fixed, or if I'm somehow gotten used to it. Honestly, I forgot that I created this thread until today when TMC sent me an email about...

I visited Marquette last week and drove around the Meijer parking lot looking for signs of construction. Nothing at all. My friend works at the Marquette County permitting office so she looked up the permit status for me and verified that it's approved. That seems to mean that the ball is in...

Are you sure the autopilot Hw3 computer upgrade will give your Model S sentry and dashcam features? I thought those were dependent on the speed of the MCU, not the autopilot computer. They’re separate.

This site seems to be free to use. I stopped there with my Model 3 twice in March and was never billed for my usage. My car doesn't qualify for free supercharging so I expected the $0.26 per minute or whatever the cost is, but it showed no cost in the car during charging and nothing showed up on...

I wrote an email to our new Secretary of State last night. I suggest *everyone* here do the same! [email protected] Please be respectful and clear. My email was pretty long, but I will paste it here to give an idea of what I think might be helpful to solve the problem: Ms. Benson...

I've used maybe 6 supercharge locations over the years and the Traverse City one is the only one I've ever had problems with. It was November of 2017 and at least two of the stalls didn't work. (Red ring around my Model S charge port.) I did eventually find one that worked, but it was slower...

Since the repair using a new wire harness I have had no problems whatsoever, so that seems to have been the cause and the fix! I know my original post is very negative, but that's not out of malice. It was really a bad experience. Now that it's been working properly again for the past six weeks...

Yes, I acknowledge this. I've had some really impressive service visits, like the time I had my Model S in to have tire pressure sensors installed in my aftermarket wheels and Tesla instead upgraded my car ("old" 2012 version) to the new style tire pressure sensor computer that shows the actual...

In the summer of 2017 there was some news that Tesla was developing its own music streaming service. Most people seemed to think it was a pointless distraction for the company, but I've been thinking about this a lot lately and have come up with some good reasons Tesla would pursue this: Cost...

I picked up my Model 3 in October, VIN 93xxx. I'm no audiophile, but I do appreciate good quality audio, and am bothered by very low bitrates or other distortion. I really loved the premium audio in my Model S and expected the Model 3 to be similar to that. The audio system in the Model 3 has...

I see that the forum doesn't like some of my photos. They work if you click the thumbnail versions individually, even the "broken" ones, but the slideshow view doesn't work correctly.

Quick update for anyone who read my long initial post and is interested -- Tesla towed my car to Cleveland, OH on Friday night and returned it to my garage on Thursday. A six day turnaround is pretty good, but I had no Tesla loaner, which was disappointing. They replaced the "body harness"...

I tend to agree, but want to point out that my 2012 Signature Model S did not come with parking sensors. The original owner paid Tesla later to add them and you'd never know they weren't original-- the onscreen display showing distance from obstacles was perfect. Imagine how complicated that...

Executive summary: If you drive a Model S, X or 3 and the brake lights won't turn off, take this very seriously, because you might be in for a major inconvenience, or even long term battery damage. My Model 3 was working great (except for the defective turn signal stalk and intermittently...

Tap the T logo once, open the Easter egg tray at the top and tap the icon of Starman. That will open the sketch pad.

I’m wondering about this same topic. I ordered on June 26 and am re- re-scheduled for delivery next week. My MVPA does not mention premium connectivity and I’m hoping I won’t have to fight for it. Has anyone ever gotten anything about that in writing?

Okay, obscenely inappropriate related topic: Recently my wife and I went to a gas station (yes, I know) in her fart car and we both got out to chat while pumping gas. I unscrewed the cap and slipped it into the slot on the inside of the fuel cover door and she stopped talking and stared— and...

Keep in mind that this latest extension is for one year of unlimited supercharger use, not lifetime. Or at least that's the last I heard. It changes every week or so lately.

I'd just add here that it's all relative to what you're comparing it to. The Slacker tier that Tesla provides is obviously not as good as a paid Spotify subscription or Apple Music where you can pick any song or album and play it. But compared to FM radio it's fantastic: much better audio...

I've only skimmed this thread, so I'm sorry if this has been answered already-- Have any non-performance orders' delivery dates been bumped up to October? From what I *think* I'm seeing here, only the performance orders are being bumped up.

Several times when I had my car in for service the service center would disable remote access remotely about 12 hours before they picked up my car. It was never especially annoying to me, but I understand the separation anxiety of having no GPS view of the car during service!

Thanks for the feedback. Which iPhone model do you have? It seems that people with the iPhone X have the fewest problems, but I have no actual evidence to back that up. Mostly curious. I'm using an 8.

Hmm... The link doesn't work.

I'm surprised how rarely Teslas are mentioned in pop music. Cardi B talks about Porche all the time and Kesha and Bruno Mars mentioned their Cadillacs in recent songs. You'd think hip young pop stars would be singing about "electric sex in the back of the X". Like that? I just came up with that...

By the way, I saw on Teslanomics a few days ago that Ben Sullins is very disappointed with the current phone and card options for unlocking the Model 3. He's a well-respected part of the Tesla community, so I'm hopeful that this issue will get more attention at Tesla with Ben's recent comments.

Very good point. I often wonder why Tesla insists on secrecy regarding product features and changes. The best excuse I can come up with is that they don't want to promise something when they don't yet know if it's feasible or if they don't know their own timing. But... that theory falls flat...

I'm "between Teslas" at the moment, so I can't test it. But based on what I've read on the previous several pages of this thread I think there's no way to adjust the bitrate. Something maybe worth mentioning is that in my premium audio Model S I did a test where I'd listen to Slacker through...

Oops! I just paid the $12 for this before realizing it's for "Plus" not "Premium". I already pay for Plus. Oops.

I don't understand why streaming audio isn't cached. I have wondered if this could be why Tesla was hinting at creating its own streaming audio subsidiary last year; maybe Slacker's licensing model doesn't allow Tesla to cache content. But imagine the benefits! A song is streamed once and is...

Yeah, I got 2 out of 6 right using an awful office-style headset. I really couldn't tell any difference using that. This would be an interesting test to take using a Tesla's stereo. I wonder if Bluetooth would be a quality bottleneck though. Still fun! Thanks for posting.

Link? I'd be interested in checking this out. I often listened to the same songs in my (premium audio) Model S via Slacker and then via Bluetooth from purchased iTunes songs, and I could easily tell the difference. I'm no audiophile, but there were times when I thought the iTunes version was...

I have been holding out hope that the Model 3 would have a lightweight towing option when the dual motor version started shipping, but that does not appear to be true. Has anyone heard anything about towing with the Model 3 lately? I'd love to be able to connect a small utility trailer for...

But that turns a convenience feature into an annoying inconvenience.

I suppose the next question after timing is about cost. What do you expect it to cost? Things on the Tesla Shop tends to be expensive, but not usually painfully so. I guess I expect a set of two key fobs to cost something like $200, and I'd pay that. But I suppose they could be over $200 each...

When the auto-open feature was introduced a couple of years ago I enabled it, but after a month or two I disabled it because it would often fail to raise my door more than a few inches, and more importantly, it would close an already-open door, which could be a big problem if a family member...

Any news on this? Just curious if it was a bug in the software or an actual feature with a key card, or even a unique identifier of your phone.

My Model S had some intermittent under-warranty squeak and rattle issues that disappeared whenever a tech was investigating. But the service center asked me to make a recording. I used my iPhone's voice recorder app to do it, and was surprised at how well that captured the sounds. This was...

I searched this forum for titles containing "fob" and found almost nothing, but I expect that this topic has been covered somewhere. If so, sorry for the duplicate! The point is really just in the title: Do we have any news on if/when a traditional key fob option will become available? The key...

Thanks for the input, guys. I know someone who lists about a dozen cars on Turo including a Model S and have picked his brain a bit. His advice is to not get too attached to the cars and expect to make some insurance claims. That said, his situation is very different from mine, where the Model 3...

This will be excellent for Cedar Point visits, for sure. But come on! Cedar Point visitors spend ALL DAY there. The park should install a row of 100 level 2 charging stations. Even at 32 amps any EV would end the day with a full charge. I've made it a habit to contact Cedar Point a few times...

I placed my order for a dual motor Model 3 this week and am seriously considering listing it on Turo to recover some of my cost. (Turo is a car rental service often compared to AirBnB.) People in my area list Models S and X for between $250 and $500 per day. I'm hoping to net around $200 per day...

I'm curious about sales tax as well. My "$35,000 Model 3" actually came to $59,500 and I'm afraid of the registration fee on that.

Well, the most convenient course of action would be to just ignore the UP. Moose don't drive Teslas anyway.

This makes me crazy. Some reasonable states in the country promote EVs with tax incentives. Michigan specifically penalizes EV buyers with additional tax. I've taken to calling this the "Michigan clean vehicle penalty". The argument that we're paying our fair share is hollow, because hybrids and...

Yes. It specifically says that the car will be delivered clean, so I think you're right. And yeah, the previous make-it-look-new refurbishment process had to be super expensive. My car was more than three years old and had 44k miles on it when I bought it. They cleaned it but didn't do any...

It just occurred to me that this project is 6 months old now. That's... very slow.

Yes, exactly. I have a very curvy driveway and the cornering lights let me be sure I was not about to slowly drive over a sprinkler or flower pot or something left on my driveway during the day. Without those lights I can’t see off to the sides where the car is just about to drive during a sharp...

I imagine this answer is out there somewhere but I can't find it. My 2012 Model S had cornering lights that would automatically come on when I would turn the wheel hard to the right or left and illuminate what was almost perpendicular to my car. I live in a poorly lit area and appreciated having...

Final post: SOLD for asking price! Thank you very much for the drama-free sale. You know who you are. ;)
