Multi Media, sorry I've seen others refer to it in that way okie smokie

Don't be discouraged that so many think your concerns are, unworthy? I would agree that a paint issue in the trunk is not a big deal but when I got my car, the rear doors were just-so off (visible cause the chrome trim didn't line up). I brought it in after it was noted on delivery paperwork...

I see so you think that would exclude the MM computer from 'needing' updating?

Fingers crossed for $0 as well - does anyone know if they have to update any cameras or the MM computer or really - what is the list of parts swapped? Recently I thought I saw that the parked screen user interface would be different for Intel vs AMD based computers

In case it wasn't obvious only the cable adapter is Model 3 specific :)

This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing Scan My Tesla cable & adapter for Model 2. Please add to the discussion here.

Easy for me - 3 is more fun (as determined by me based on handling primarily)

Seriously I doubt Elon time is in this epoch, again the bundle-of-wires thing was easier than I thought ...

The local Monterey county folks were perfectly willing to provide me a Tesla kit but Tesla was not; so when I went in to get the gen 4 ECU for my car after I ordered my bundle of wires, they asked my vin (which would have been a reason to not sell to me right?) and came right out with the part...

And good luck getting it from Tesla - I gave up after asking every couple months and did it myself - search for "bundle of wires" for more details

Tesla offered me the chance to upgrade for a year now except every time I tried to schedule it, sorry no parts. I finally just did what a lot of folks here have done, bought the computer from Tesla and the magic bundle of wires and swapped it myself. I'll get the Tesla adapter when I can...

I'm not alone in being less than thrilled with the lack of physical controls (youtube is full of people complaining about car makers copying Tesla's onscreen experience) and so the removal of the stalks is a step too far for me. I wish I believed everything about Tesla's was best in class or...

Yep everyone has their own needs and preferences.. I for one am glad the super charger network is (slowly) opening to others as it remains a big obstacle for a more car-to-car comparison - curious to see what if any impact that will have on Tesla products going forward. Lucky for me, my 2018...

I do not believe I am whining nor are others which feel like the newer car has deficiencies for not very good reasons; that characterization is not productive nor accurate and doesn't help your argument in my view Since it is a very subjective call I won't bother you further with my preferences

Highland, if it comes to the USA as-is, adds new bumper brake and tail lights because that's the law; lights visible even if trunk open. So that savings is false, I believe the real reason outside of styling is that it's harder to misalign 1 lamp per side vs two. Whatever, not having stalks...

Yeah I get it, I was mostly commenting about the words used - to me greasing a slip joint or similar function is not rubbing is all...

@AlanSubie4Life I guess I would have expected a word like re-grease or re-pack the CV joints or something, rubbed just doesn't have that meaning for me! :)

I know what re-torquing is but clue what rubbed is, typo? Please clarify :)

Yup it's all cost saving not oh-so-cool UI ( sigh, means I won't be replacing my 3 anytime since I want actual stalks especially for the PRND stuff) I used to respect Elon, now I have my Tesla in spite of him .

For me it's not the $ it's the value for the $ - I expect that's the case for many.

It's weird to me that playing music over bluetooth to the car should care about connectivity since it shouldn't be using any cell data from the car. Feels like some other bug 🤷‍♀️

Maybe the light is simply failing; I recall a time in the earlier builds it was common enough that I saw posts on it though our 2018 is fine

Our 2018 Model 3 feels pretty much the same as the day we got it, no squeaks, rattles or what not and still puts a grin on my face on every drive. Still no CarPlay so there's that but... 2 family members recently got a Model Y, too big for me but both think it's perfect for the job; newer...

This made me laugh - who visits a friend and offers to pay utility bills for lights, water, food, etc during the visit? None that I have ever encountered (not including going out to dinner and such and visitor offers to pay) and like what someone above said, the minor cost for this charge and...

I don't know about that; there are plenty of quick EVs and even other ICE cars now. Safety is in the hands of the driver. You can crash anything if you're driving like a moron.

Can't be 100% sure I'm understanding you but did you park the car when wet ie after rain or just driven? If so sounds like the before-mentioned surface rust breaking free, no biggie. Happens to mine every time I park it after a wash, next day

Family member has 2023 Model Y Dual Motor; nice car, drives great, reasonably quiet but a bit big for me and too tall. Makes my 2018 feel svelt :) I much prefer the 3 but this family member is about to add a kid to the mix so the Y fits. But for me always the 3

Perhaps that one is not; read my post though where he is HOURS from the nearest Tesla with a dead 12v. He got one of those (again I do not know which one and indicated so) and went on his way. I'm lucky the service center is 15 mins from me when I wanted to change my battery out; of course...

A friends 12v died and he was literal hours from a tesla service center I sent these links, gathered from this and other forums and he chose one and it was a perfect functional fix Caveat I have not looked at these recently I just saved them just in case...

I proactively changed mine right about 4 years; had ICE car batteries go longer and shorter and didn't want the hassle

A couple things to note - Tesla's planned charging stops are based on you driving the speed limit, more or less, the whole way, with weather conditions staying mostly constant from time of plan. If you have a heavy right foot ah hmm.. then you may want to allow the car to charge longer at a...

I have one from when Tesla supplied it with the car - used it at an Air BNB that had nothing but a normal 115 and super chargers 30mins away. Not an everyday situation these days but it let me put 25miles on overnight

And your WiFi can support 2.4 as well as 5? To this day my car is perfectly happy with 2.4 but not 5 and I had to set up my mesh network to do so just for my very special car :rolleyes:

I've seen aftermarket where local police have kitted out the car but I've never heard of that from Tesla though would be cool

FWIW (not much probs) we keep our 2018 Model 3 at 45lbs cold, same for the 2023 Model Y - ride is fine in both for our tastes and for the Model 3 the range difference is notable. Model Y too new to prove that but seems reasonable

I've had my 'stealth' performance Model 3 since new in August 2018. It doesn't have some improvements like double pane glass but to my thinking has some better features (radar, parking sensors, a cover over the phone charging area, small things ..) Elon has tried my patience and sensibilities...

I have noticed this more recently as well; I tend to monitor projected energy use and sometimes select a different charge stop as I like to arrive about 10% (min). Doesn't answer OP question though directly

Perhaps that depends on company, I was side swiped some years back by someone who tried to run. I got their tag # and called my insurance with the tag # plus other info I got from calling the police during my 'chase' of them to get the tag #. Anyway when the offender was contacted, they...

Look into diminished value compensation from the trucking company

My 3 can charge 40A but unless I am in a hurry I charge at least just to be a little kinder on the battery. It's charging overnight so no big hurry Maybe it's fake new but mine is at 38 cause once upon a time I read that was reasonable, maybe 32 is better if you're not in a rush. Experts with...

Even though power assisted, the brakes on Teslas (at least today) are still basically hydraulically actuated and if actually pressed, will stop the car eventually I wonder if one pedal driving contributes in any way to people forgetting what that 'other' pedal is for, sheesh

My experience is you won't know till the job happens - had my side repeaters replaced because they leaked light so bad at night the camera display was horrible ( you can google that ) - in any case, they listed a price and I was OK to pay it and when I got there they said it would be good will...

Just a note, the option to request that retrofit disappeared from my app as well :(

Except I already have what I want in the dock and the number of items is limited so there's that - back in the days when Tesla thought it was ok to have those quick access at the top... well sorry, not for us anymore

Best I found is 'honk to save' :( or opening the full screen. Another Tesla UI improvement

My car also had free-for-life supercharging but I traded it for $5000 (one of Tesla's many weird historical events) and bought stock instead. Still have that stock, should I sold before Elon bought Twitter :)

My husband probs, he's a champion curb-er

They did for me, originally were going to charge me but later offered as 1-time courtesy since my car has Enhanced Auto Pilot from way back - they also claimed these new cameras would have limited warranty but my car has been out of regular warranty since Aug 2022 anyway. Note that the...

My car received that recall (not TSB) months before warranty expired last August. It was finally done when parts availability happened early this year. A recall shouldn't have a cost; I didn't even have an estimated cost so something seems odd. Tesla recalls nearly half a million cars over...
