Now that it’s a year later since this thread started is there any real benefit?

Yup. Totally agree. Why watch on a tiny screen when I have something much better and larger. Surprised nobody has any actual experience with this? Or am I the only one in this situation?

Just found out I won’t be home to watch the game. Would it be possible to watch from the car with a YouTube live or Hulu live account? I don’t have either so I’m not able to test.

Will these spacers work on the 3 as well?

Haha. I’m also wondering the same thing. It’s either U2 or David Guetta playing on startup For me. We must have gotten that music for free a few phones back. The native Spotify app on the car doesn’t always load so I’ve lost faith. Plus, i like the gapless playback when using the phone and using...

How did you fix this issue?

Had this happen. When I purchased the car the trunk needed to be slammed hard to close. So they adjusted the trunk latch slightly. This fixed the slamming problem but then it caused a leak in the first hard rain. Took it into the service center and the rubber seal was not pressing against the...

Another benefit for the phone app is the explicit filter. The cars explicit filter doesn’t work.

Not sure if you got the reason for my suggestion. The back window of the Model 3 provides easy access for theives to do an initial screening on your car. If they can see what’s in the trunk without opening a door or setting off an alarm it buys them valuable time. That’s a key attribute that...

Would it be possible to change that back glass to a different material like Lexan? This way it would thwart the thieves attempts from the beginning. Any other fix would still have the thief break the back glass only to find out the seats have been locked or otherwise prevented from access.

If anything I think he owes it to the LR RWD early adopters. I think an uncorking is due.

Had that problem. The vents under the seats are highly susceptible to foreign objects rolling in. The service center had to remove it for me. It was one of my kids toys.

Is it faster if you connect to your cellphones hotspot?

Just use your butt. One cheek on either side of the emblem will work even better than the hands. The bigger the butt the less likely you are to cause a dent (with some exceptions.....you know who you are!). That’s why I always ask my wife to close it while I carry the goods into the house.

Or is there a way to 3D print a bracket? Someone must have done this already. If so, care to share the file?

Lunar lander is the best game to play using the steering wheel controls.

The steering wheel buttons also work. Run it in full screen mode and it’s not bad.

Are these gen 1 or gen 2 seats? Could it be happening when the seat moves? Perhaps some rubbing going on? Do you have easy entry enabled?

Out of curiosity (and please don’t take this negatively) how much do you weigh?

I once had ants nesting around a gfci in my kitchen wall. The amount of eggs they laid was crazy and I was concerned it was going to cause a short and lead to a fire. There is a good chance they are doing just that on your car. Any chance you can put the car in a small garage and bug bomb the...

Then I guess my DS just sucked.

No option to request up front. You’ll have to get the white plate (about 4 weeks) and then request the vanity plate immediately. You’ll get the vanity plate about 2 weeks later. Pretty lame process.

Out of curiosity what is your VIN? Seems strange that even cars being delivered today still don’t have this piece integrated into their production line.

How’s everyone’s blood pressure?

LOL. I can positively confirm that the offending app was NOT Tinder. (In case my wife reads this).

Using TACC or FSD on a road undergoing construction is extremely risky. The car could easily get confused between the old lanes and the new lanes and if Tesla were smart they would find a way to disable these features when entering a construction zone. There are just too many variables to deal...

Happened to me the other day. I tried rebooting the car twice. Rebooted the phone three times. Turned off and on Bluetooth and still didn’t fix it. Tried forcing closed and restarting the Tesla app and still nothing. Even tried unpairing and re-pairing the phone to the car to no avail. Finally I...

I completely agree with the acceleration but the problem with removing your foot off the accelerator is the brake lights turn on. What pisses me off a lot is when someone cuts me off and then immediately steps on the brakes. In fact the only thing that bugs me more is when someone does this and...

If you schedule your appointment well in advance with the request for a loaner and you’re in the SC early in the morning you’re more likely to get a Tesla loaner.

Not sure about some of these responses. The model 3 that is shipping right now is about half of the higher end S. But it’s not too far from a lower spec’d S. I wouldn’t necessarily use a corolla vs a Mercedes analogy either. It’s more like a Mercedes E class vs a C class. Or a 5 series BMW vs...

Lol. That’s exactly what they told me at first. Just be persistent. Ask what option they are talking about. They are only shipping one option at this time. Ask them to look at other cars in their possession and let them know it’s a missing piece.

Totally agree with the OP. The launch from 0 feels muted when compared to a launch from about 30. Would be interesting to see people investigate this further. Elon has said that he might be able to squeeze a little more performance out of the car but didn’t want to make any promises. I think...

Good deal right now on a chemical guys car wash kit. Normally $80 and on sale for $58. Chemical Guys HOL_302 Foam Blaster 6 Foam Wash Gun Kit, 7 Items https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F5MCL1E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_T4ikBb0W5TVP6

It’s called an M3, Trunk Garnish. Part number 1132812-00-A. You will also need 2 of: RVT Push-pull 10MM Hole. Part number 1020213-00-A.

Well since nobody else can confirm this I will. I was able to get this piece successfully installed. FYI, your service center might not know about this missing piece so I would recommend bringing pictures or asking them to go around looking at some of the newer 3’s on the lot if they have any.

I had the pleasure of driving a new S for 2 days a few weeks ago. The biggest difference that I noticed when compared to my M3 gen 1 seats was the side bolstering. The S has much more pronounced side bolsters. So much so that I felt like my back was never able to fully rest against the back of...

Why would California do that? That’s way too efficient. Just think of all the jobs at DMV that would be eliminated if we did it this way. Our governor wouldn’t allow such a policy to happen.

I got the update today but can’t understand the benefit of the car visually showing what cars there are in front of you while in AP mode. If it could monitor cars that are in my blind spot then I’d consider that a definite enhancement. But detecting cars that are in front of me? No real help...

I can’t even get my auto high beams to activate. I switched it on in quick settings but I don’t see any blue icon appear between the 2 green headlight/fog light icons. Is there something else I need to do to activate it?

Has anyone been successful getting this piece added yet?

Is that delivery date or production date?

How about a mini wastebasket in that space?

Nice. Can we also get a wide shot of the entire car?

It’s not a Tesla that hit him. The white Tesla he was referring to was the one in Seattle that was involved in a pretty significant accident on the highway a few days ago. This one looks like a white Ford Fusion or similar.

On some garage openers there is a limit to the number of remotes that can be paired to it. If you are not the first owner of your house then you might want to do a full erase and reprogram. You never know how many extra remotes there are floating around and not in use. Plus from a security...

Watch the video and scroll to 2:45 where he gets into the back of a Model S. FWIW, it looks just as “uncomfortable” and nobody is complaining about those rear seats.

Let’s hope that enough people complain and they would be willing to install it on those cars that didn’t get it. I tried at my SC last week but will give it another try in a week or so when I get my bulging a-pillar molding fixed.

I’m curious to know if most people complaining have the sport wheels or if this is their first time driving a car with tires as low profile as these. The rubber on the 19” wheels are pretty thin (40 series) and you don’t normally find those on cars unless you’re talking about the performance...

Here is how it looks without the molding.

SCE has about 5 different TOU plans, some of which are tiered and some aren’t. Last month was the first full month of having the model 3 and I was running on a TOU with a tiered rate. Our bill was about $225. This month we switched to another TOU plan without a tiered rate and made some other...
