    MASTER THREAD: 2019.40.50.x - Driving Visualization improvements, new voice commands, Camping Mode

    Is there ExFat formatting supported for storage yet? I have a new drive I need to format today.

    Problem with new Jeda wireless pad... anyone heard of or experienced this?

    Just to offer a counter point to the "garbage" comment above, I've been using a Jedda wireless pad in my Model 3 for over 6 months without issue. Sorry to hear your pad is having problems, hopefully it's just an issue with your pad and will be replaced, vs an issue with the whole batch of...

    MASTER THREAD: 2019.40.50.x - Driving Visualization improvements, new voice commands, Camping Mode

    Does anyone have a list of all the voice commands currently supported by Tesla? I only use the "bug report" command right now.

    X-Care Extended Warranty for Model 3

    Can I ask what happens if your Tesla gets totaled before the factory warranty is up (aka within the first 3 years)? Can you transfer it to a new Tesla (since you never really used the warranty in the first place) or are you just out the $3-4k and need to re-purchase? Similar question, if your...

    "Bangs" and "Clunks" when charging?

    That's interesting, I've had this happen maybe 2-3 times in the 6 months I've had the car, always when turning out of my driveway to the street. At first I thought I hit something or curbed the car but didn't see any damage or anything I would have run over. Seemed to happen when I was...

    Model 3 Trunk Lights Don't Always Turn On

    I had a problem where one of the lights wasn't turning on randomly and mobile service came out to look at it - of course it was working when they showed up. They swapped the left and right trunk LED lights and they were still both working. The tech said he'd request some remote diagnostics and...

    Model 3 SR vs. SR+

    As an SR+ owner I can't tell the difference between immersive sound on or not - but, personally, I think even if you're not using AP, having the TACC vs regular cruise control is a HUGE difference. Both for highway driving and for stop and go city driving. It just helps keep the drive much...

    MASTER THREAD: Auto Wiper functionality, complaints, praise, etc.

    March of 2019. I feel the wipers are to agressive in general. I'm in the camp where I like the wipers to turn on as little as possible - I realize not everyone feels that way - again why I'd prefer just a variable speed slider instead of 3 presets that are all waay to aggressive for the kind...

    Recommendation on Seattle detailer/ceramic coating + ceramic tint

    I took mine to Tempus Detailing in downtown Seattle when I got my car back in March. Great job from these guys. I work close by so I'm often walking around their area and there are plenty of Teslas lined up for work there. Tempus Detailing - Ceramic Pro, Auto and Marine Detailing

    Initiative 976

    I keep hearing about Tesla's Robo Taxi's and level 5 automation right around the corner - yet the AutoPilot nag time has been reduced from 5 minutes a few years ago to less than 30 seconds when traveling on the highway.

    MASTER THREAD: Auto Wiper functionality, complaints, praise, etc.

    Living in Seattle we have so much light rain / mist / drizzle / etc etc that the wipers have been one of my bigger annoyances. It HAS been getting better but honestly if instead tying up a neural net for this please just remove the 3 "manual" speeds they'd just give me a slider so I could set...

    It sure would be nice if you could find patch notes with this level of detail when a rollout comes out.

    MASTER THREAD: 2019.36.1 update released with 5% power increase

    SR+ owner here, got the update overnight. I wish I had some actual data points but I'll just throw in that on my drive into work this morning i felt the car was noticeably accelerating faster when I floored it. That being said, I was at 90% battery having plugged in all night, So I can't say...

    99 Tunnel in Seattle

    I've got a model 3 - Also I'm not using a front license plate just the rear one. (I know, police chase on the 6pm news). I'm thinking I may just register my plate on good2go and take the 25 cent surcharge, I don't expect to use the tunnel more than a couple times per month.

    99 Tunnel in Seattle

    Hey guys, with the 99 tunnel announcing tolling in November, I'm wondering if any of you guys are using the good to go sticker and where you're putting it on your windshield?

    Solar in Seattle. Any tips on where to buy/what to buy?

    I got solar a couple months ago, even though I missed out on this incentive.....What you do get now is: 1) 30% federal tax credit (starts tapering down after December 31st) 2) Sales tax exemption which as you know in Seattle could be an easy 1.5k-3k in savings depending on the size of your...

    No lines or traffic being shown in visualization window.

    This happened to me a few months ago, and no amount of putting the car to sleep, resetting, etc helped. What finally did the trick is asking Tesla to Flash the firmware for me over the air. The problem has not come back since. Just an FYI in case someone runs into the problem and the...

    FSD price to go up $1k and Enhanced Summon release date, both ~August 16.

    Elon keeps raising the price and he makes it sound like it's only going to go up from here. I mean how many people are going to buy this at 10k? 15k? etc....He's going to have a hard time showing people a car is really an "appreciating asset" like he says.... For now, more and more of my...

    SR owners, tell us about your car!

    Ugh really?!? , I should have waited. Got my Model 3 at the end of March, stuck with the older computer and non-heated rear seats!

    The SR+ doesn't have rear heated seats either.

    Did Autosteer limits change in the last patch?

    I was headed on a fairly long trip to visit friends for the 4th of July and left the car on AP and Navigate on AP as much as possible. Now maybe I'm just having a "senior moment" here but I could have sworn that on most side roads I could have left AP to go more than +5mph over before But...

    Plastic vibration noise inside coming from dash area

    I seem to have a very small but persistent rattle right where the tray for the iPhone is....it happens whenever the road is even slightly rough. I'm a little unclear if it's the pad itself or the plastic assembly underneath, but something is just slightly going up and down and making a buzzing...

    Tesla Model 3 Tint Feedback?

    Anyone have a pic with a model 3 using 3m Crystalline 40 or 50? I don't need the windows very dark (I have the M3 in blue and frankly I don't think the blue looks as nice with dark tint unless you get rid of the surrounding chrome) , this is more to reduce the heat than anything else.

    Model 3 Scratches All Over And What Tesla's Tech Said

    Tons of people will talk about the soft paint and how you NEED ceramic coating, a clear bra, and for washing, only hand wash with X product or this is what you'll get. Two things with this: 1) I expect what people say is true, and I bought into that and got a ceramic coating and only hand wash...

    What’s the one thing you like the least about your Model 3?

    The Driver side footwell - specifically the dip in the floor pan of the driver side footwell.....I can't seem to find a comfortable place for my left foot while using AP.......on any normal car i'd put it right in front of the accelerator, but on any normal car that section is nice and flat...

    Tesla Dash Cam Install and Now Tesla wants $420 to UnDoIt

    Say what you will about the traditional dealership model and how crappy it is - (and it sure can be) but when it comes to in warranty service traditional dealerships have Tesla beat by a mile. Everyone's on the same page, techs are top notch, everyone wants to keep you happy so you buy your...

    Wouldn't it be nice if Tesla Mobile Service could repair rim rash?

    At least with the 19" the rim sticks out a little more than the tire - and the tires are low profile so yes, compared to say my wife's Honda SUV which has big tires w/ plenty of sidewall, so if anything scrapes it would be the tire itself not the rim, on my old Mitsubishi which has more regular...

    Current Quality

    To to a Tesla forum and you should expect most people to recommend the Tesla - go to a Jag forum and most people there will reccomend the Jag. I'm happy you're looking at an EV of any kind vs as gas car. Test drive both and then choose what you like. As you mentioned, it's a lease so it's...

    No AP or Cruise control today

    I did have this problem a month ago. Tried a bunch of the suggestions without any good results. Wound up asking Tesla to re-flash the firmware (not update, just re-push what's there via wireless). That fixed the problem. Since then I received a new firmware version update. It's stayed...

    99 Tunnel in Seattle

    I put in a bug report almost every day about 99 (and in general the tracking down 1st ave). I figure over time 100 bug reports have to be put higher up the priority list than 1, squeeky wheel gets the grease and all.

    On a Model 3, which is essentially all glass - how many windows are we talking? Windshield, Pano, Back (one big piece on the back or two), the 4 normal windows?

    Recommendations for Tint and Film Specialists in the Seattle/Bellevue Area

    Really? I live close by, and saw they have plenty of good reviews. That's not for 3m Crystalline though right? If so that would be dirt cheap.

    Tesla cutting costs and refusing to repair paint damage

    No but I will share my own little experience along the same thread: - Took delivery 3/30 (at home delivery) - Submitted my punch list of items to take care of a couple days later - Dropped by the service center a day after that to talk specifically about the (admittedly small) paint issues in...

    Anyone use this guy? SamTint - Seattle, WA He came back with $560 for 3m Crystaline including the windshield which seems insanely cheap, but maybe that's because he doesn't have a physical location.....Only two yelp reviews though gives me pause.

    Took delivery but thinking of returning. Am I being paranoid?

    Couple things here: 1) Coming to this form and asking if you should return your Tesla will get you some biased answers - take it with a grain of salt and do what's best for you. 2) In my less than two months of ownership I've had a handful of (fortunately relatively small) issues and have had...

    How long did it take to get your adapter?

    Heck, I'm still waiting for my 14-50 outlet to be installed - to be fair I'm tying it in to a Solar install so it's a bit larger of a project then usual :)

    Mobile Service never showed up, is this typical?

    Well, the second I hit post here the Service call comes in (of course it does) - he'll be here in 15 minutes. Man, I love the car, but the communication at Tesla can use some improvement....Thanks Big Dog.

    Mobile Service never showed up, is this typical?

    Hey guys, My mobile service tech hasn't shown up, and I can't seem to reach an actual person when calling Tesla. Is this typical for mobile service? Should I just give up on it and schedule a new appointment thru the app, or sit around longer waiting in case he shows up late? The appointment...
