    Routing Interior Wall Connector Cable Outside?

    Sorry, I never set this up. My garage door is old and odd enough that I’m able to just keep the charging cable under the door when it’s closed, so that’s good enough for my needs.

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    Thanks for testing it out on 2024.8.x. I was hoping it would work again with a new software branch…

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    2024.8.3 has been released to a small number of vehicles. Anyone here received the new version yet? If so, give the homelink retrofit another try and see if it goes through now.

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    Tried scheduling a module service appointment yesterday. Heard back from them today and they want me to bring my car to the service center… This really seems something like that they could fix remotely. I’m guessing a lot of service techs are still unaware of this issue.

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    The module I have was taken out of my Model 3 before I traded it in for my Model Y, so I have nothing to return or any refund to receive. I’ve got nothing but time, so my Homelink module will just stay installed in my Y until I’m somehow able to activate it.

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    So my Y got the 2024.2.7 update this evening. Updated to that from 2024.2.2.1. I tried doing the retrofit from the service menu again thinking that an update to a newer version while the homelink module is physically installed may make a difference. Unfortunately the retrofit still failed with...

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    This is what I attempted. Took delivery of my Y 2 weeks ago. Removed the Homelink module from my Model 3 that I traded in. Installed it in my new Y and hitting the same error as others have described. My Y came with version 2024.2.2.1 installed. The consensus seems to be that if you’re still on...

    Anyone with the technical know how want to see what they can find by poking around with this code from GitHub? https://github.com/nunojpg/HomeLink-explorer?tab=readme-ov-file

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    Wish I ran into this thread sooner. Just took delivery of my Model Y a few days ago. Spent 2 hours the day before liberating the HomeLink module from the Model 3 I traded in. Running into the same error message now when trying to do the retrofit procedure… 2024 Model Y running 2024.2.2.1.

    Trading in my M3 for MY - Sales process is a JOKE!

    They did. They low balled it as everyone else here mentioned, but my monthly payment is right where I was expecting it to be. With the FSD transfer rules it would be too big of a pain for me to sell it elsewhere. I’m getting a $2400 discount because it’s an inventory vehicle, so that definitely...

    Trading in my M3 for MY - Sales process is a JOKE!

    Looks like my delivery scheduled tomorrow is going to hold. I called the number for my service center that I’m picking up from and followed the automated prompts and was connected to an actual live person surprisingly quickly. They were actually able to help me with the trade-in issue. The...

    Trading in my M3 for MY - Sales process is a JOKE!

    Less than 29 hours to my supposed delivery and Tesla still has yet to provide me with the trade-in offer. They said if all of the delivery tasks are not completed at least 24 hours before the scheduled pickup time then it will have to be rescheduled. Hoping there will be some activity in the...

    Trading in my M3 for MY - Sales process is a JOKE!

    Finally some activity today. Sent Tesla the info on my trade-in on Saturday. Only today did they ask for the payoff letter from the bank for the loan on my 3. Trade-in offer is still listed as pending. Tesla rep told me that if I don’t have all of the delivery tasks completed 24 hours before my...

    I certainly hope so. My delivery is scheduled for about 60 hours from now and I still haven’t received a trade-in offer to review…

    Trading in my M3 for MY - Sales process is a JOKE!

    I ordered a new inventory Y on Saturday, took photos of my trade-in 3 in the app the same day and I’m still waiting to hear back with their final offer for the trade-in. I don’t want to proceed with the remaining steps until that part is finished. Sent multiple text messages and messages in the...

    Loyalty / referral credits when trading in?

    Ah yes, thanks! I was looking in the wrong place in the app. It’s showing up as pending when I select History at the bottom: And yes, I will be transferring FSD from the 3 to the Y. The FSD transfer stuff is one of a bunch of questions I’m waiting for them to get back to me about. My trade-in...

    Loyalty / referral credits when trading in?

    Picking up an inventory Model Y later this week. Ordered through the Tesla app and I’ll be trading in my 2018 Model 3. Does anyone know if I still get the 10K loyalty / referral credits if I’m trading in my old Tesla for a new one? Also, assuming I do get the credits, will I see them in my...

    FSD Transfer and NJ’s Charge Up Incentive

    I’ve got a 2018 Model 3 LR with FSD and I’m considering getting a Model Y to take advantage of the FSD transfer deal. I’m in NJ and the state recently restarted their “Charge Up” incentive program which gives you a $1,500 rebate for vehicles with an MSRP between $45K and $55K. This is where I’m...

    Model 3 Screen Corners Fading

    I doubt it. I've noticed this for several weeks now in a variety of weather conditions, both wet humid days and hot dry days.

    Model 3 Screen Corners Fading

    My Model 3 is about to hit 3 years and 1 month since I got it. I've gotta look at the screen in some different lighting conditions as well as day vs night mode to see how the corners look. Considering putting in a service request if it starts to get worse.

    Model 3 Screen Corners Fading

    The screen on my Model 3 has developed some slight fading at the top corners of the screen. Just curious if anyone else has seen this. Wondering if this is similar to the screen yellowing I’ve read about on older Model S cars.

    Dash wood trim replaced under warranty?

    Honestly other than it obviously looking brand new, it does not appear to have any additional sealing or protection on it. I’m certain that I will see the same wear in another few years.

    Dash wood trim replaced under warranty?

    Well Tesla mobile service tech stopped by earlier today and replaced the trim piece / vent cover in less than 5 minutes. Probably the quickest mobile service appointment I've ever had. Everything was covered under warranty like the invoice estimate I received said. I'm glad that it's replaced...

    Dash wood trim replaced under warranty?

    Well just got the appointment confirmation and cost estimate to approve in the app. $0 charge listed in the estimate so it looks like the photos I provided them are convincing enough that this is a warranty issue.

    Dash wood trim replaced under warranty?

    If yours has been wrapped all that time it probably looks like new underneath.

    Dash wood trim replaced under warranty?

    Mine is a 2018 as well. I wonder if the newer wood trims have some sort of extra protective coating on them. I’m convinced that the wear that mine has is mostly due to UV exposure. However I wouldn’t be surprised if the wide temperature ranges seen in the North East are a contributing factor too.

    Dash wood trim replaced under warranty?

    True. I took the photos after my post and sent them to Tesla when I scheduled a service appointment through the app. Mobile service appointment scheduled for this Thursday. If they’re not going to replace it under warranty I’ll just tell them to forget it. Here’s the photos, not so easy to...

    Dash wood trim replaced under warranty?

    The wood trim on the dash of my now 3 year old Model 3 is showing some major signs of wear. Lots of cracks, some small parts of it seem like the veneer is lifting up slightly. Really starting to look like crap now. Thinking about putting in a service request with Tesla to replace it but I’d want...

    Supercharger - Woodcliff Lake, NJ

    Stopped by today hoping for a quick charge since this is advertised as a V3 supercharger location. I tried stalls 2B and 2D, neither gave me more than 36kW. There was another 3 and an S also charging at stalls 1B and 1D while I was there, not sure what charge rate they were getting. When I...

    Spotify Issues

    Regarding your first question, yes it’s only one account at a time. There is no ability to tie different Spotify accounts to different driver profiles, although this is a regularly requested feature by many. If you want to use a different account you need to sign out and sign in with the other...

    Cracked windshield: should Tesla, Safelite or fix it?

    Got a chip in my windshield that turned into a crack a few weeks ago. Scheduled service with Safelite to seal the crack but it was bad enough that it can’t be repaired and needs to be replaced instead. Scheduled another appointment with Safelite for windshield replacement and got a call...

    GearIT 50-Amp Extension Charging Cord

    Just going by the photos it looks like the cable is a bit thin. The extension cord I’ve used is definitely thicker and more heavy duty. I’ve used it a few times with zero heat issues, although I was only running 24 amps through it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0024ECIP0

    Issue with keyless entry with iPhone 12s and iPhone 12 minis?

    I was having some issues with unlocking my 3 for the first few weeks after getting my iPhone 12 Pro Max. Things seem to be working normally again since I updated to the iOS 14.3 beta.

    Spotify search to kill you

    Probably a software bug on a recent version. What version is currently installed on your 3? Btw I've been reading a few rumors on the Tesla subrebbit of a Spotify interface re-write/update coming in the near future, likely with V11.

    Federal? None. The EV tax rebates expired for Tesla a while ago. Don't know about CA.

    EAP (Enhanced Auto Pilot) for $4k. Who’s in?

    If you’re selling body parts why not see if anyone would bite for the FSD price? :D

    EAP (Enhanced Auto Pilot) for $4k. Who’s in?

    I was lucky enough to grab FSD for $2K during their fire sale last year. At these prices I don’t think I would pull the trigger on EAP or FSD. A bit too much to swallow for a good number of owners. Surprised Tesla hasn’t launched their monthly subscription option for FSD yet. It would surely be...

    Chrome coming off door handle

    The problem has become worse. The chrome overlay has become extremely loose on the bottom edge of the door handle. Most times the handle isn't able to sit flush anymore because the loose chrome catches the door. I may have to cut the loose sections off the bottom of the handle so I don't have...

    Chrome coming off door handle

    Yes, my garage is cluttered with crap and my 3 has not had the pleasure of parking in it for many months. I’m not sure if sitting in the sun for months on end caused this but I certainly wouldn’t rule it out. If it were an option I would certainly look into getting the black handles from the Y...

    Chrome coming off door handle

    Yes, that is exactly it. There’s a whole edge of the chrome overlay that has come loose and was sharp enough to give me a pretty decent paper cut.

    Chrome coming off door handle

    Anyone else have this happen to their door handles? I noticed today that the rear passenger door handle wasn’t sitting flush. When I was checking it out I ended up slicing my finger on the edge of the chrome that is separating from the bottom of the handle. I already had a service appointment...
