    Cabin overheat protection...is it working?

    Had my update yesterday and seemed to work. This morning I went to leave, opened the app and saw it was 141 inside the car. Settings are still activated not sure why it didn’t turn on.

    Tesla App Stuck in “Waking Up” mode

    Temporarily fixed!! I tried the signing out and deleting the app with no luck but found another thread about restarting the tablet. I held down both buttons on the steering wheel for 10 seconds until the screen went black. After that put it in park waited an hour tested it and it worked. Then...

    Tesla App Stuck in “Waking Up” mode

    I’m currently on 2018.21.9 and prior to this update my app worked great (iPhone X and wife has Galaxy S7.) but we can no longer get the app to connect when the car is in sleep mode (parked anywhere). If I go up to the car and open the door, let everything come on and then open the app it...

    Tesla window trim scratches

    I will try the applicator and trying to polish / buff it out. I have been attempting to be more cognizant of where I am placing my hand getting out of the car. Just strange I have never had this happen on any of my vehicles before and I feel I get out the exact same way.

    Tesla window trim scratches

    Hey all. Wanted to see if anyone else had this issue. I have a bunch of scratches on the driver door (trim) and I couldn’t figure out what they were from. After getting into the car today I realized that my left hand wedding ring actually sits right about at that spot when I get out of the car...

    Does basically every owner here use HomeLink?

    Set mine up last night after taking delivery on my model 3, I love it! We practiced a couple times pulling up and having the garage open 100 ft away, so by the time I'm at the door its all the way up. Based on other suggestions we turned off "close on exit" and just do it by hitting the button.

    Losing enthusiasm for Model 3

    I'm so glad you wrote this article. I debated doing the same for the last, I would say 2 months but knew what type of responses and replies would come. When I put my deposit down I was thrilled and riding the Model 3 hype train. Since the 2016 reveal and my day 1 preorder I have been losing...

    Tesla owner configurations begin

    If you don't mind me asking, when did you pre-order? Like if you remember date and time? And I'm not sure if its information you want to give out, but maybe share the last 5 digits of your reservation number from MyTesla? Trying to figure out what place the rest of us are at in line. I...

    Omg you are all rich! lol. I wish there was a way we could have included ages with the salaries too. Either way this forum is balling :-)

    Telsa Cable Organizer Back In Stock!

    @RandyS nice hanger. I just figured since I was cheaping out on the $500 wall hanger, I'd put the $25 down and give them something lol.

    Telsa Cable Organizer Back In Stock!

    Hey guys, I've been checking the Tesla site daily for the Model S/X Cable Organizer to go back in stock. Someone confirmed earlier it works just fine for the Model 3 charger as well. And for me, the $25 hit isn't as bad as the $500 full wall connector. Just in case anyone else is interested...

    Snippy forum

    This might be a dumb question because I don't know the technology behind it, but I figured it wouldn't be possible. Like they weren't building some type of feature into the car that would allow for a FOB. I mean otherwise what they have the technology in the car and just are saving $100 per M3...

    Snippy forum

    I can understand this. Again I was also extremely sold on the $35k mark, naively thinking it was going to I don't know come with a default set of features I expected. And then when they announced no key fob, I admit for a day I went all negative on the forums. For the last 4+ years, I've been...

    Snippy forum

    This is my first time being a part of a car release like this. I have been a part of many iPhone build ups and console build ups. But I have seen the negativity here climb and climb. There is a lot of negativity about all the features that people aren't getting, even at this stage of released...

    Petition to add tow hitch to Model 3

    Agreed. I don't know why some think all cars need every piece of technology ever made. For the majority of drivers I can tell you tow hitches don't make their top 10 requirements of a car list. I have zero personal want or desire for one, or want to see one poking out of the back of my Model...

    Petition to add tow hitch to Model 3

    I'm sorry but why... I feel like its buying a Tesla then asking where are the spare tire and front grill. You have to know what type of car you are buying in my opinion. Toyota corolla's and camrys don't have tow hitches either. I own a BMW 528i and it doesn't have a tow hitch. You can buy a kit...

    [Media Mistake - False] No FM, Bluetooth, or USB Audio either?

    Same here, 99% of my music is on google music, I haven't turned on the radio in I don't know how long. And going with the new iPhone X I will be switching over to Apple Music to test it out, still requiring the Bluetooth stereo. I am a huge music person and listen to it every day to and from...

    [Media Mistake - False] No FM, Bluetooth, or USB Audio either?

    At this point in technology time, it's not even a feature, it's just a standard. A feature of my refrigerator is having an ice and water dispenser on the front, what is not a feature is a light on the inside, or keeping my food cold lol. I think we are past the point in time where stereo...

    [Media Mistake - False] No FM, Bluetooth, or USB Audio either?

    I watched the OCDetailing video and the first Telsa delivery in Texas video and when they got to music and I heard "I can sync my phone but no Bluetooth audio option" my heart sank. That is 99.99% of the way I listen to music on my daily drive is streaming it through my phone. I mean they have...

    All I want is the $25 cable/wall organizer but its been sold out forever! They had it on for a day and I missed it, now back to sold out. Also it only lists under the Model S shop. Model S/X Cable Organizer

    Another Nifty tool! - This time for better range/charging estimates

    You, sir, are the man ;) I definitely appreciate all of the tools you put together. They are all bookmarked in a little "Tesla" folder in my browser, thank you again! I will definitely be playing with these options. Definitely, will give us all a better sense of what to expect!

    Model 3 Supercharger usage

    Whoa whoa there lol. That post took a turn. All of the people I see complaining about this are Model S owners. This new class of people, which I consider myself in although I have no idea what that means, I will just assume it means not super rich guy buying a Model S and X. But this class of...

    Model 3 Supercharger usage

    Before reading any of the thread... I just want to say... why would anyone feel entitled to free charging? I feel like it was a perk to get Telsa as a brand off the ground and keep people interested. Coming out with a car model that will produce 500,000 cars and people expect free electricity...

    Nifty tool for calculating your monthly Model 3 payments

    Thanks for this! I made an entire tab in Excel for doing precisely this, changing the payment value etc with different features added or removed, and I ran the numbers on yours and they came to the same figure to the dollar! :-) So at least I got to check my math, but this is a great tool for...

    Poll: Aero covers - will you use them?

    Right, it shouldn't be easy to take off, but they should be "made" to take on and off if that makes sense. Like using a security tool or whatever. But you know how some things you can take off, and put back on, but they aren't really made for on off on off usage? Right now would be the perfect...
  30. Gtosnipey

    Poll: Aero covers - will you use them?

    I also think a lot of this will depend on how easy they are to take on and off. That will be a big factor. Also if it doesn't have a natural mechanism in place for taking it on and off frequently you run the risk of damaging them etc which will cause people to just leave them on or off permanently.

    I dont know if this is everyones first time ever preordering something, but I have stood in 100 lines for video game releases, iPhones, etc... and I got no special prize except the item I was buying lol. Sure it will be cool whatever they give us because it will be free, and I know a lot of...

    Will you buy Enhanced Autopilot on your 3 at purchase?

    We haven't heard any additional information but as time goes on the more I go "I will just add it later". Will they hit us with a $1000 extra charge for adding it later? Probably. But my round trip 8 mile commute to work with no hwy driving tells me not to get it now. For me it would be a cute...

    Model 3 entry via ... keycard & app. No fob.

    I would pay $100 to have a cool car FOB, just saying. I don't think they have to add anything crazy to enable a FOB to work with the car and just sell them to us? I will use the phone and the little card..... but I have been waiting years to get a Tesla car FOB lol :-)

    Interior door handles

    Yeah hopefully we have at least 1 or 2 helpful people on here who feel the same way that is in that early boat that can at least finally put to rest some of these simple questions we have about door handles, opening the car doors, bluetooth range, etc.
  36. Gtosnipey

    Interior door handles

    I feel the same way, my dates say Nov-Jan and although I probably won't be towards the front because I dont have an S and wasn't at the front of the line on pre-order day, if for some reason I did get mine right away I would be like a live Q&A for a week for everyone for features, pictures...

    Do we know how to schedule time of day charging

    Yeah I know it doesn't mean I HAVE to get the EV rate, I just came across that they offered it and wanted to check it out. And it might just be me, but check below at this extremely misleading EV Rate page. Yeah looks like I won't be switching over. What is interesting is I found their...

    Interior door handles

    I just worry that we have how many production models out in the wild, a Google Photos gallery of 1200+ photos and still we are "guessing" at how does the car open using the same 1 picture we have had forever. I guess we have to wait for non-employees to get models for someone to actually post a...

    Do we know how to schedule time of day charging

    Got usage data for June, July, and August of 2016, threw it in excel, threw a bunch of formulas at it, and I get: June: Old: $128.28 EV Rate: $207.63 61% Increase - $79 July: Old - $101.23 EV Rate - $138.45 38% Increase - $37 August: Old: $211.41 EV Rate: $342.73 62% Increase - $131...

    Do we know how to schedule time of day charging

    A somewhat relevant question, has anyone switched over to a time of day electric rates? I have been looking into this and trying to understand it. When I first read the language on the NV Energy website (Nevada) it said: "It allows customer to pay a discounted rate if they charge the vehicle...

    HVAC UI design sucks

    Sorry I meant if you were driving manually, and weren't on roads or in driving situations where you could switch on autopilot to look over at the screen etc.

    HVAC UI design sucks

    Yes we can find work around's for most situations, that still doesn't make the new system convenient. We "could" do a lot of things I feel like. But if I'm driving by myself and can't turn on autopilot it is going to be a problem. And again even with people in the car, it looks like a bit of...

    HVAC UI design sucks

    I see some people saying they have only adjusted their vents once in 4 years.... come on. I will just speak personally, living in Vegas where it gets to be 105+, plus having a wife and kids in the car, the vents go all over the place. First she's too hot, then too cold, then its too in her face...

    [Speculation] Production 18" Wheels without Aero Cover

    I love following Model 3 stuff, its exciting, getting new news (lol) is fun most times.

    How choose your charger?

    I am definitely taking all of this info and calling an electrician. It's nice to have though because I can reference the info you guys have provided to make sure they don't try to squeeze extra wires in etc. I will have them run a new circuit as @Jason Bourne mentioned specifically for the Model...
  48. Gtosnipey

    How choose your charger?

    Thanks. On the other side of the garage, there is a standard Nema-C15 that the water softener is hooked up to. I will have an electrician come out and run a 240v thanks for all of the help.
  49. Gtosnipey

    How choose your charger?

    Do you think there's a big price point between having the 240v installed and a 120v? Would there be any reason not to get the higher voltage installed even with the shorter commute?

    Will you buy Enhanced Autopilot on your 3 at purchase?

    I'm split, I really just wanted the Active Cruise Control seems like it would come in handy on the hwy. Especially being 6'5".
