Just wanted to chime in and say I'm pretty happy with the spotify implementation. I had been using spotify on my phone over BT for the last year or so and when I would go back to slacker (usually only if my phone died or something) there was a noticable difference in quality with compared to...

I'm thinking about getting a 3 year ceramic coating with paint correction done on my year old model 3 but I'm wondering if it's worth it. Besides the hydrophobic benefit will I notice much of any other benefit since silver is already so forgiving? Main reason I'm considering it is because it'll...

Emailed Sandoval and Pritzker. I dislike all the increases but seriously? $1000/yr??

I don't think so. Doesn't look like it on my car at least.

Something I noticed yesterday when I was trying to melt ice on my windshield while driving was that the front windoe defroster blows nice and hot at high speed. So for the moment if I need to crank the heat I just turn that on. Kinda crazy how unoptimized the model 3 is for cold weather...

I'm 6' 1" and 350lbs and was also concerned but really I'm very comfortable in my model 3. The recliner like other have mentioned seems under powered I lean up a bit when adjusting it. Also the seat quickly developed a little rock back and forth which through service center said was "within...

I still had the headlight flickering issue this morning after receiving this update last night unfortunately. It doesn't really bother me that much as it stops after a second or two and doesn't seem to do it again after they are on. EAP seemed a little more solid on my frigid ride in to work...

Yes mine does this too I notice. I had service take a look about a week ago while I had it in for something else and they couldn't find any faults or anything. If I preheat the cabin it's basically fine for the most part but if I wanna crank it up it usually just feels cold or cool with some...

Most of the time when I press the right button the wheel the green box pops up like it's ready to hear me but when I talk it doesn't recognize my voice. I will have to repeat the process usually up to 4 or 5 times for it to work. Just wondering if anyone else is having this same problem?

Could just be a coincidence but after receiving the 2018.50 update last night I noticed my car pulling to the right this morning on my way to work. I quick google search returned some results saying this was a bug in the past but should have be fixed with a firmware update. I'm wondering if...

After I took delivery and was about to drive off I was adjusting my mirrors and I couldn't get the drivers side mirror to go out far enough. I actually though something was wrong and called a tech over to take a look but they said it was ok. I did manage to get it to a decent position after some...

I have the same problem. I am playing with a routine that does the following with mixed results so far. Have to wait until car goes back to sleep to test it again. But what I did was set up a routine where when I ask Google to get my car ready it does the following commands: Ask ev car to get...

Soon I'm assuming this project is dead due to lack of cookies and buggy browser? Hopefully some work can continue on it in the future when Tesla gets around to fixing the browser. Really like having Spotify on screen versus using phone or voice control. But having to login each time sucks. Plus...

If anyone has a metallic silver model 3 with the silver 18" TST's I'd love to see some pics. Tsportline has some shots on their site but just looking for a few more before pulling the trigger. Thanks!

So this past Sunday evening after washing her up real nice and shining the wheels I summoned her back into the garage, plugged her in and went to bed. The next morning I went to leave for work and was presented with two messages: "car needs service" and "cannot maintain vehicle power". Car was...

I have also experienced this. It seemed to happen a lot when I initially got my model 3 but then nto as much lately. Or maybe I'm just noticing it less. Weird bug though for sure.

Scenario 2 is I'm pretty sure what happened. Just is weird that radar wouldn't see it. Or maybe it did see it but didn't react for some reason.

Running 2018.32.2 on a LR Model 3 with AP 2.5. Its just a reminder that even as things improve you can't let your guard down as it's far from perfect yet even just in stop and go or slow traffic going straight. Too many edge cases. Overall though it's my favorite thing about the car since I...

So I'm driving home today in heavy traffic with autopilot on going about 20mph with my following distance set to 2. There's probably about 1.5 or 2 car lengths between me and the car in front. A car off to my left starts to move over into my lane in front of me pretty gradually with maybe 5 feet...

Someone on here has said in the past that they have experienced the same thing where after they get an update it will phantom brake more and then once it relearns the areas it is ok again. Something about the whitelist possibly being reset after the update and it has to relearn them.

This is a great pic, thanks! These look really good! I got the 18s because of the roads here in Chicago and while the Aeros have really grown on me I think these look too good to pass up. I'm curious though if you will notice a hit to your range. My guess is it probably won't be much but maybe...

Ok so it definitely feels like my car is faster now with this new update because I'm breaking the tires loose a lot more often now. Anyone else experiencing this too? I have the 18" aeros and it's making me kinda wanna get a grippier tire once these need to be replaced. Which could be soon if I...

I have been waiting for these to see how they look. Would you mind posting a few more pics for me when you get time? Thanks!

No it had been in the garage all night charging. We'll see if the messages are still there when I leave work in a bit.

Anyone else getting error messages now after this update? Maybe 28.2 addresses these erros.

I was thinking this today after getting it too! But I wasn't sure if it was just in my head. My battery was also low (about 30%) so tomorrow with a full battery will be the real test. If true it may just be that they adjusted the acceleration curve so the lower end has a bit more juice.

So I hear the single beep when the car locks but when I walk up to the car I was expecting to hear the double beep indicating it was unlocked but I do not. If I unlock with my phone it'll honk. Anyone know if there's a way to enable it to either honk or for the mirrors to pop out? I'd like to...

Automatic with paddle shifters. That place isn't too far so we will see if she's serious. I think either way that would be pretty fun! Oh yeah for sure! If I lost I was gonna suggest we start from 30mph lol. Man if the model 3 had the power at 0 that it does at 30 itd be a rocket. But I guess...

So my sister in law just got her a used 2011 BMW 135i and is pretty confident she'd win in a race. Looking at the specs it's actually a pretty close match up performance numbers wise. BMW says the 135i will do 0 to 60 in 5 seconds even while as you know the model 3 LR will do it in about 5.1...

I definitely think they could throw a little more power at the car from 0-20. It doesn't have that push you back in the seat power like it does around 30. I agree with mal_tsla that this is probably to distinguish the P from the non-P. It's still plenty fun and personally I think if I had to...

After getting my model 3 I was giddy from the acceleration as I've never really had a fast car. I thought to myself this is plenty...no need for anymore power. But then a day later I was like you know what I could go for a little more! The acceleration is addicting! From like 35 it's like a...

I saw a video and also read it on another thread that said resetting the computer could possibly help. Worth a shot maybe. Can you try it and post back with your results? I got the notification about the update last night but have so far held off because I use autopilot a lot on my drives to...

So far it seems random but I haven't had the opportunity to try it in consistent locations under the same conditions. One thing I have noticed is that it seems to do it more so when it's not following a car in front. That would make sense because if the car in front isn't breaking hard then why...

My wife hates when I do that too so I try to push up on the stalk to disable it instead if I can.

So I know the limitations of autopilot pretty well now after having the car for a month and a half and I accept them and remain vigilant. AP works well for me for the most part. Especially my commute to and from work where it's mostly stop and go traffic. Biggest issues with it are the false...

Thanks guys I agree it could be worse so I'm not that upset. I think I'll pay the $55 for the touch up kit from Tesla. That way I have it for any future issues. It really is an amazing car!

Have had the car 3 weeks and just noticed the scratch this evening while showing the car off to my buddy. Had the car in to have a scuffed rim replaced from delivery yesterday but didn't notice it after I picked it up. So it either happened at the service center or sometime today. I don't think...

This is probably why the car feels limited from about 0 to 20. After 20 it is plenty quick. The only negative is now I've gotten a little more used to the speed and WANT MORE! :)

Happened twice in the first 48hrs I had the car but then hasn't again over the last week I've now had it. Both times I just skipped the track like others and it went away. Assuming a software issue and will likely be fixed later. Not a big deal for now I suppose.

How paranoid it's made me. No but probably either key issues or the rear visibility. If I have to pick I'd save rear visibility since presumably the key issues may improve over time with updates (hopefully).

Thanks for this post OP. I will have to check myself as to not get complacent with this system. I am taking delivery of my Model 3 in a few days and one of the primary reasons I have wanted a Tesla for so long is to have autopilot help my hour plus commute to and from work in mostly heavy...

I work as the lone IT guy at a large high school in Chicago. Interesting to see how many of us are in STEM fields. Not surprising though.

So you were able to just call and get the delivery specialist contact info? They gave me her name but that was it. The last time I called though they said she appeared to be "online". So I'm assuming that means she's not been on vacation. I'm gonna call again today since it's officially been 2...

So I called that same day I got the VIN which was Monday, 4/9 and was told I had been assigned an delivery specialist already and was even given her name. They told me she'd call me sometime that week but I never got the call. So then I called the following Tuesday 4/17 and they said someone...

I'm onto next phase which I think is worse because now there's nothing to check on the mytesla page. I have a VIN so at this point I'm waiting for a call from the delivery specialist. Before there was always the hope that when I checked the site something would have changed. Now I just have to...

Hi fellow Chicagoan! I ordered in line at the Grand Ave store at about 11:30am. I got my invite last Friday (4/6/18) and then yesterday (4/10/18) when I logged back into the my tesla page I noticed I had been assigned a VIN! So I am wondering if they have a batch of cars on their way to...

I'm a big guy too. 6'1" and a little heaver than you. I drove the model S and it was roomy but hard to get in and out of. I sat in the model 3 briefly and the main thing I was looking for was how comfortable it was for a large fella like myself. It felt pretty good to me. Definitely acceptable...

Well I don't know about you guys but I am really bummed to have not gotten my invite today. I really thought today was going to be the day! I actually got a message from a friend of mine earlier who reserved online in california and she got her invite today even though she reserved online after...

True. Plus with as many of these things as we're about to see driving around it'll be kinda nice to have a color that's not as common.

You guys are really bumming me out! I was not at all interested in the silver until I went to a Tesla store and saw most of the model 3 colors in person. For some reason the silver really stood out to me. So that is now my color of choice. It's apparently the least popular color according to...
