My insurance company doesn't even accept mpeg4 files through their app. I sent the blurry vidcap jpg of the rear of the car to them and the police, but I'm not optimistic. I'm guessing that if I gave both of them a definitive license plate number that I'd get much better results and maybe get...

I asked the police earlier and they said that they can't search a partial plate number. I didn't even consider looking for a vin on the dropped parts. That's good thinking, but they were disposed of by the wrecker driver to make the street more passable.

Yes, I looked at all the cameras. The left side camera showed the hit, parts flying, and that he had no front plate. It did not get any view of the rear plate. The front camera was the only one that got a view of the plate.

Yes, they said it was his fault when he pulled out into traffic without allowing enough time, when he hit another car while fleeing, and that hit and run is a felony. Yes, that was part of his car.

Zipped the mp4 file that the front TeslaCam captured...

I have done so with both, but I know that I care more about my problems than someone else does. The police said that a report will be complete in 10 days. Now that means that they have a lot of work, don't consider it a huge priority, or perhaps both. Giving them a clear image vs a blurry...

Hi all. I was driving my Model 3 past a line of cars today when a silver Lexus pulled out directly in front of me. He was only about 30% into the lane when we contacted and then he kept driving, hitting another Lexus as he fled the scene. Are there any graphics experts who can sharpen up a...

I was having this problem happen very frequently with my LG V20 with Android 8 (Oreo). (Verizon hasn't released an update to Android v9, so I am stuck on v8 for now). The bluetooth connection to my phone would disconnect for a few seconds (~15) every 3 - 15 minutes. It was very aggravating...

I just sent emails to Rep Oliverson and Sen Bettencourt requesting that they oppose.

I had the same problem after a supercharger cable would not release from my Model 3. I pulled the manual release to get it out, but then the three errors came up and would not clear out, even with multiple reboots, powering down, and driving for a while to allow for it to clear. I had to have...

Mine, too. Now it's usually about 5% failure. But, once it fails, I need to do something about it (usually rebooting my LG V20, Android 8) or the failure rate will climb quite a bit.

Version 42.2.1 has either fixed this problem for me or substantially improved it. It does not connect as easily to my phone (Android 8, LG V20) as it used to (i.e. Version 39 and earlier used to connect if I even walked by the car while it was awake, while now I often need to turn Bluetooth off...

This happens quite a lot for me on my Model 3 with 42.2 and LG V20. Rebooting the MCU and the phone, as well as turning bluetooth off and on, has not helped. I will try dropping the phone connection and readding it and removing contact sync to see if either helps

@Kenriko I've been closely watching Amazon for the last two weeks, but have not seen Matrix Black come available...

I've read that it's an option through the end of this week, but that you have to call Tesla.

@Kenriko What is the lead time on Matrix Black at Amazon?

Yes, if you move the seat back because you are tall, the driver's side mirror doesn't go out far enough. And the center rear view mirror is small.

You could be clearer about the phase-out of the $7500 credit. It sounded to me like you were saying that when Tesla hits 200K, that the tax credit is halved. That, as I'm sure you know, happens after the remainder of the fiscal quarter in which that happens and the next quarter combined. The...

Note: In cold weather, some of the stored energy in the Battery may not be available until the Battery warms up. When this happens, a portion of the Battery meter is blue and the driving distance value has a snowflake image next to it. If Model 3 is plugged in, you can heat your Battery using...

Don't forget about the seat airbags. The manual advises against covers...

You're welcome! Have you rebooted the car, as well? That might help, too... (IIRC, it's hold the brake pedal and press both scroll wheels, simultaneously)

I hope it gets even more reliable for you. 90% can be frustrating, because you really expect it to work (and then it doesn't) I don't know if you have recently, but I'd try rebooting, too. It helped my phone work better as a key when I was trying to get it up from 20% success (although not...

Initially, my phone (LG V20, Android 7.0) was not working reliably as a key. It would only work about 20% of the time. Cycling Bluetooth did not help at all. What did help was removing the phone from being programmed for the car and then readding it. It has worked 100% of the time since then.

You're welcome! Thank you for the suggestions!

Thanks! I hope your delivery process goes as well as mine did!

Thanks! My post order wait was one month.

Thanks!

The app also indicates lock state.

It happens after about 15 seconds, regardless of distance, if you have auto lock enabled.

I thought that I would post a brief summary of what I think about my new Model 3. I tried to focus more on the Model 3 specifics, rather than things that any electric car would have, but I may have slipped a little... Blue, 18" wheels, EAP (LR and Premium, of course) I love it! It's the best...

Looking at the plans for the Tesla UMC Wall Mount: Tesla UMC wall mount by znib I wonder a couple of things... 1) Does this work with the newest (Gen 2?) version, too? 2) I could download the plans and then go to a place that does 3D printing to get it made without any particular problems...

I'm not sure why you are worrying about the investor stuff, as you can't appreciably change any of it. (This is coming from a fellow TSLA investor). You are getting owner priority now and should be early in the list for the dual motor that you say that you want. So, wait and get the AWD and...

I responded with what I thought were helpful suggestions on the other thread on this topic over on the Model 3 Owner's Club, but this is sitting less and less well with me as it goes along. The opinion that softer sprung is better is just than, an opinion. "Better" means that not better is...

The 2016 deluxe version of the program did NOT include a valuable form that many of us need: Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit, Form 8911 I have not looked into 2017 in detail, but I have read that it is only included in the "Premium and Business" version. I hope this helps...

I think that the 0.5 s 0-60mph improvement is a nice bonus, too.

Here is that video from a year or so ago:

2) Yes. Whatever the large battery is for 310 mi now. 3) I am having trouble finding it. I found several rumors and this: Tesla Model 3 exclusive leaked specs: 0-60 under 4 sec fast and 300+ mile range options (Update: Base 6 sec 0-60 and 215 mile range) but I am having trouble with the quote...

Zero - 60mph Model S 75: 4.3s 75D: 4.2s 100D: 4.1s Model 3 Standard: 5.6s Long Range: 5.1s I'm really torn on what to order when my turn comes up. As a line waiter in Texas, I might be able to get the full tax credit on an AWD Model 3 if the order time happens in June or earlier...

I wonder what the Wh/mi is at light speed.

Nice story! Thanks! It seems strange that a GM regional manager wouldn't know about Musk's repeated comments on sharing superchargers.

Why not install a nema 14-50 outlet there? It only takes a few inches of space and is inexpensive to install.
