Reports from other Tesla owners on Reddit: Also Model Y forums here on TMC: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/2023-y-2300-miles-no-cameras-autopilot-or-gps.316473/

Having the same issue here. Rear view camera works sporadically and Autopilot/FSD doesn't turn on. I reset the calibration once and it worked correctly for a day but the following day, it stopped working again. Resetting calibration a second time didn't fix it either. Software version...

No, I don't think it had a matte wrap. It appeared that the base metal was less shiny than it appears in photos. The shape and finishes are more impressive in real life.

Yes, I think you're correct. I didn't get the impression that it was a matte wrap.

Good question, I didn't ask. I'm comparing it to the prototype at the Petersen exhibit in LA, which seemed a lot more polished. I much prefer the matte finish seen today.

It was great to see the Cybertruck there. One thing that doesn't come across well in photos are the matte finishes. It looks very impressive! Plus, the new V4 chargers are very tall. Thanks to the Tesla employees who brought the Cybertruck over for everyone to see!

I found this video very helpful in quieting my Tesla. Very easy fix as well.

I've driven a Grand Touring and have owned three Teslas, including an S. One thing to be aware of: the steering wheel doesn't telescope out far enough for some drivers with long legs, and as such, I cannot hold the steering wheel and rest my elbows on either the door or center armrests. I do...

I'm in the process of my first backdoor Roth conversion. If I contribute now, when is the next time I can do an additonal conversion? (I'm spacing them out to stay in a lower tax bracket.) Would it be based on calendar year, ie. January 1, 2023? Or would be twelve months from the date of the...

I think it depends on your model year. I have a 2018 without the double-glazed door window glass, so most of my noise comes from the windows. That said, I wasn't trying to block the drive unit whine, I was working to block road noise. In my case, the biggest impact was changing the tires (I now...

From my understanding, Dynamat helps with reducing vibration noises on large panels of sheet metal. If you choose to block noise, look into MLV (Mass Loaded Vinyl) sometimes backed with a CCF (Closed Cell Foam). I've done both to my Model 3 but didn't have an issue with motor noises to begin with.

This completely solved my B-pillar rattles...

True, and I still put more faith in my broken clock.

If I read this correctly, looks like Andrej is leaving. Thanks to him for his leadership on Autopilot.

Rumors are that Giga Berlin will offer 3 new colors. https://driveteslacanada.ca/model-y/giga-berlin-paint-colours-imagined-in-stunning-new-renders/ That said, we have white/white and still think it's beautiful no matter how many we see.

Looking at page six of the Tesla Q3 Quarterly Update Deck, Tesla exited Q3 with six days of global vehicle inventory. https://tesla-cdn.thron.com/static/TWPKBV_TSLA_Q3_2021_Quarterly_Update_SI1AKE.pdf?xseo=&response-content-disposition=inline%3Bfilename%3D%22TSLA-Q3-2021-Quarterly-Update.pdf%22

Question for those who have attended the shareholder meeting in the past: What do individual shareholders need to bring to attend the AGM? Since I prefer electronic delivery of my statements, is a laser printed copy of my August brokerage statement enough to prove beneficial ownership? Or do...

As I understand it, there were Stealth Y models offered for a short while in 2020, but no longer. I test drove one... it offered the faster 0-60 acceleration but had 19" wheels. VIN was in the 11,000s.

Agreed. I've extensively sound deadened one of my Model 3s. The dynamat material is to reduce vibration in larger pieces of metal and as I understand it, it doesn't need to cover an area 100% to be effective. As PNWLeccy notes, Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV) and Closed Cell Foam (CCF) are applied...

Note that Performance "Stealth" models in 2019 were available with either 18" or 19" wheels. Not sure if 19"s were an option in 2018.

https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/exclusive-tesla-puts-brake-shanghai-land-buy-us-china-tensions-weigh-sources-2021-05-11/ "Tesla had earlier considered expanding exports of its China-made entry-level Model 3 to more markets, including the United States, sources told...

Lots of great comments here so far. How long will it take for this demo Model X to get delivered to you? The new infrastructure proposal is being announced next week as well as the rumored reinstatement of the potential $7500 tax credit for Tesla. This could potentially apply to your purchase...

One solution for this in Chrome and Chromium-based browsers is to use the "Dark Reader" plug-in. It allows you to adjust brightness and contrast to set the white text to a more readable shade of gray. I find my reading experience much easier after adjusting these settings...

Yes, I specifically upgraded the tires after I accelerated out of a turn with the contis and the rear wheels slipped. Not much, but I realized the power put down by the Performance model would benefit from stickier tires. So yes, more planted.

I added PS4S to my 19" wheels after delivery. I think they're quieter and offer much more traction versus the Continental tires my Stealth 3 came with. Also, I sold the Continentals practically new for $300, so that offset the cost a bit.

Good question.... but no, it had the shiny black console. That said, I showed them there's a lot you can do to customize the "classic" console. On my Stealth 3, I've added real wood veneer and have on order the side trim pieces in an alcantara-type fabric from AliExpress. Tesla Model 3 2017...

I took a friend of mine (and referral) to his delivery today for his AWD Model Y, VIN 78,xxx. This car had the insulated front side windows, metal scroll wheels on the steering wheel, USB in the glovebox, new seat control buttons and the auto-dimming side mirrors. To add a data point, the Y...

Beautiful. Looks like it's in pristine condition. Any accidents, door dings etc?

Since you did this trip earlier in the year, you're probably accustomed to long drives. Our longest single day drive was 670 miles, and that is about as long as I prefer. Autopilot definitely helps, though, as do the stops to stretch our legs. We tend to trust the Tesla navigation, and only...

After having driven a combined 70,000+ miles across three Teslas, including coast-to-coast drives, I'll emphasize it never gets old. Be sure to check out the SpaceX Hawthorne Supercharger in your area. You have a lot to look forward to. I'm sure you'll get lots of ideas for accessories. My...

I switch between the AWD and a July 2019 Stealth frequently, and I find they drive similarly. It's nice to have the power when you "need" it, but otherwise I haven't encountered any jerkiness. Congrats on getting a Stealth, by the way. I still think they were an incredible deal while they were...

I'm not 100% sure, but that auction looks to be ONLY for one piece of trim - the left side. Make sure you purchase a complete set! ;-) That said, yes, I've seen both the Obeche Gloss and Obeche Matte from the 2014-2016 cars. It's primarily a striped pattern but it looks pretty nice. The Obeche...

@SisOne, I'm sure you've considered this, but just in case you haven't, eBay has some of the older wood trims available that might be of interest. Below is the dark ash matte-finish wood trim Tesla used to offer. On my previous S, I had the "Figured Ash" matte finish wood, and as @Magellan55...

Ah, thank you! That was my exact goal... make it more luxurious. The mats are Lloyds "Luxe" Mats, in the Brown (786) color. You can find them at various retailers, occasionally with a coupon. For the center console, I bought real wood veneer from Rockler, based on some great research that...

I removed my Model 3 dash trim piece, taped off the trim edges so only the wood showed, then sanded it lightly and stained it a slightly darker color. Removing the trim on the Model S is more involved, but it is possible. The caveat is you don't really know how the stain you choose is going...

For the sunshades, I used these for the front and back: Model 3 Glass Roof Sunshade

I agree that none of the door seals or roof noise reduction kit seemed to make any difference. Only the sound deadened car had the rear deck cutout. To completely cover that opening, I used mass loaded vinyl and closed cell foam, attached with black Gorilla tape instead of the dynamat type...

I don't mean to hijack the OP, though I hope this is helpful since it's related to the topic. Sorry I don't know the answer to your bolt torque question. I have two 3s, one with extensive sound deadening and one with other mods, and they sound about the same. I don't have a non-modified 3 to...

I had a great experience with Tesla repairing a few small delivery issues (squeaky seat, loose fender) with my P3D- but that was before the CV lockdown, so I would suggest contacting them and having them clarify what they can do in your instance. Additionally, if after Tesla fixes delivery...

Nice melodies and production... reminds me of watching "Stranger Things". Subscribed. For more in this genre, check out Gunship. Here's the playlist of their first release: Gunship - Gunship (2015) FULL ALBUM - YouTube

We have two Model 3s, one AWD with extensive sound proofing and a new P3D stealth. Both have 19" wheels. The AWD has Pirelli Cinturado P7+ all seasons which we also used on our S. We find this 3 pretty quiet on different road surfaces. The Performance 3 has 19" Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer...

Use black electrical tape to attach orange gel (see link) to color the footwell lights. I added bright Abstract Ocean LEDs first. This might achieve the effect you're looking for. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=rosco+orange+gel&ref=nb_sb_noss

Question for you guys: I have eight referrals total, five referrals from the 2017 program (and I collected those awards at that time). During this past program, starting in October, I referred three more friends. The associate from the Referral Program is telling me that I don't qualify to...

If I had to take a guess, I would expect the MLV to have the most impact.

I put both in the back doors and rear shelf inside the trunk, and then took a break. I'm planning to put thinsulate in the front doors later. Note that getting those door panels pack on take some patience. I had to go back and trim the MLV in a few areas in the rear doors since the...

Bought on ebay. I cut it to fit the size of the Tesla sunscreen and the sunscreen holds it up there with the clips it comes with. No tape or velcro necessary.

I used 3M Thinsulate on half of the rear deck opening and Mass Loaded Vinyl on the other half and it seemed to help. (seemed, because I did a lot of other upgrades at the same time: CLD (Noico) in doors, under parcel shelf and floors, and MLV/CCF in doors and floors.) Another noticeable impact...

Sold, Thanks for the inquiries
