For. Some reason this post reminded me that I need to go have a drink.

Was it ever confirmed with certainty that those of us with blank plates on our rear motors have 980 motors?

If we're going to address that, let's also mention that the plural form of Tesla is Teslas not Tesla's.

PSA to EAP participants using TeslaFi, you can hide your vehicle from the firmware page in your account settings. Might not stop Tesla from knowing you're using it though.

2.5 hours for me today on a 2018 build with electrical wiring rework required. That includes the time for them to do a test drive and change the air filter.

Got mine done today. Took 2.5 hours while I waited in the showroom. Electrical rework was required for my Sep 18 build. Only had to re-add my home WiFi network and reconnect my phone via Bluetooth (though phone key worked without doing that). They took it for a test drive and calibration...

See the thread about this here: B-pillar cameras fogging up?

In addition to seeing this all the time, I frequently see people dive to get in front of me on a cloverleaf ramp as I'm merging onto the highway/accelerating and they think they need to get in front of me to make their exit. Drives me nuts. They have no idea how hard I can accelerate.

See the thread about it here: B-pillar cameras fogging up?

I believe it is a very recent change. He told me that this was the direction they received from Tesla engineering from the time I scheduled my appointment (Dec 2nd) to when they came out to repair it (Dec 23rd). My appointment had been for Dec 13th, and they made me reschedule because the "parts...

You need to enable it in your Bluetooth settings both on your phone and on the car. Go back and look at the release notes, it has the steps there.

I just had a tech over on Monday. He told me this as well, and said that he put a new backing on the camera with this patch. He said it's essentially the same thing as the redesigned part. It basically makes the camera less weather sealed to allow the interior HVAC system to remove the...

Minnesota today. Sep 18 build.

I have a recurring calendar reminder to review them once a month. Occasionally I catch a mild bump or people checking out the car, but about 50% of the events are just me walking up to the car.

Thank you! I don't think I'd even posted it on this thread, so good memory! For those who don't know the reference, mine is Li-ion King. It's also my license plate (LIIONKG) !

I know, but why couldn't the way to exit hold mode and engage creep again simply be to tap on the accelerator the same way you can today if you're in hold mode regardless of how you entered hold mode? Creep on reverse, creep when rolling forward and not pressing the accelerator, after having...

You would simply tap the accelerator the same way you can today when you're in creep mode and you manually engage hold by pressing harder on the brake. One light tap and the car will start creeping forward again. I do this every day.

Downloading! Not in EAP. Coming from 32.12.2.

Noticed the following on page 179 of the latest owners manual. It seems really strange to me that the RWD can handle a higher maximum current than the non-performance AWD. I knew that there's speculation that the performance may have a different rear motor, but I always thought that the RWD and...

Well this was really interesting to me at least. I was on 2019.32.10.1 and wondering why I wasn’t getting 2019.32.11 like everyone else seems to be (at least per TeslaFi), so I clicked on the Software tab. Prior to this, I did not show the pending update icon on the status bar. As soon as I...

I just bought the 8bit Do adapter, and this PS4 controller. I plugged the adapter into my Mac as I was getting ready to run the firmware updater. The updater wasn't seeing the adapter, so I decided to try and pair the controller first. I pressed the button on the end of the adapter until it was...

I understand the legality and the purpose of it. I should have clarified that I'm not advocating permanent disablement, just offering a potential temporary option to prevent this from happening if you know you're going to put something in the frunk that can trigger it.

Just an FYI, this happened to me as well while driving and I discovered that it is extremely easy to disable the internal frunk release button. If you just grasp the plastic housing around the frunk latch mechanism, it easily pulls off with a light tug and there's a small cable running to that...

Do you have any more information? Any published sources discussing this? I'm not questioning the veracity of this, I am just really curious to hear more about it.

I believe you're referring to the 75D uncork. They gave people a full second off their 0-60 time for free. This happened three months after the introduction of factory uncorked 75Ds. I'm not saying it should be free this time, but just agreeing with you that Tesla has definitely done this before.

When I bought my AWD, it was an $11K price increase just to get to the level of the "Stealth P3D". Another $5K to get the performance package. Speaking only to my personal situation, it was fiscally irresponsible to spend $11K on just the faster motor. It would be even more irresponsible for me...

I thought I was the only one! Relieved to see that I'm not!

Yeah, it seems to be the norm for the Sep/Oct 2018 builds based on earlier posts in this thread. Assumed to be a 980 motor.

Assuming I've got the right spot, blank plate for me (as expected) on a Sep 2018 build, AWD non-performance.

Yes, it was here:

When I ordered last June for a September delivery, it was $16K ($11K for the P3D- and another $5K for the +)!

I use this 500GB Samsung T5 SSD. Works perfectly. 500GB is overkill for now, at least until/if they add more cameras. Price is good though considering what you get. I have a monthly calendar reminder to check my drive. I use Sentry everywhere except home. After a month, I typically find that it...

This fits perfectly in the sub-trunk and in the frunk (one in each).

Curious to hear what others report now. I just got 20.1 the instant TeslaFi started showing installs beyond California and Europe. I have Advanced selected and was a 2018 purchaser of FSD. I'm never in the initial blast of an update, so I think this setting may actually do something.

I wouldn't feel bad yet. If the full TeslaFi data (see attached) is any true indication of the broader fleet, the 20.1 update is currently only going to California...and Europe. As far as I know, those are the only two areas currently capable of taking advantage of either V3 supercharging or the...

It's a cool tool from Draftable. The free online version requires PDFs under 10MB, so you sometimes have to first compress them (many free options available such as this one.

I recently had an issue when reversing into a spot in a parking ramp where the reverse camera was very very dark. It wasn't black, I could still make out some objects, but it was as if the software was setting the exposure very low to compensate for bright light. However, there was no bright...

Well, there it is for those of you that had the update pulled. 2019.12.1.2 to the rescue!

I have to agree with @mswlogo here. As a reminder to those that may have forgotten, when the EPA first tested the LR RWD, they came up with a result of 334 miles of range. The "Tesla Desired Range" of 310 miles shown below, indicates a voluntary reduction in the EPA rated range. After that, many...

I should have clarified that I was running Pirelli Sottozero II tires. I really do think it has a lot to do with how much torque the Model 3 throws down. I'm no expert though. I believe the AWD model is a RWD car the majority of the time due to the more efficient PMSR rear motor and it only...

My winter tires started at 11/32 new at the start of the season. When I took them off after 3,000 miles, the rears were at 9/32 and the fronts were still at 11/32. Doesn't surprise me too much considering the 3 is heavily rear wheel-biased and I like to stomp on it sometimes.

Looks like 12.1.1 has just shown up on TeslaFi. That may explain the halt of 12.1 that seemed to happen yesterday.

They're technically not supposed to. They should be unchecking the following box in their TeslaFi settings if they want to continue skirting the rules:

My guess is that is what 8.6.1 is supposed to be for. I've lost my network connection on 8.5 a couple of times this week. A screen reboot fixed it each time.

Huh. I thought it was only vibration, impact, or an attempt to open a door that sets it off. You're certain it can be triggered only by motion?

Well, I know it will turn on, but I'm curious if anyone has experience with how much data it will save. The other day my friend just lightly brushed his finger on the door panel and that was enough to register an event and have the 10 min of video files get saved to my drive. I imagine if that's...

Does anyone know if Sentry mode can be used in the rain? I assume not realistically as the rain drops would be detected as an event and it would be constantly saving gigs of data. Is that assumption correct?

I'm pretty sure he knows a thing or two about this excellent channel. ;)
