I could not get my text messages read to me. A re-pair solved the issue. That is for android Samsung S9 Great new features, wonder why they took so long to be added.

Agreed, my brother just had his replaced and I have an appointment on Monday

I live north of Boston on the coast and have had my RWD 3 since March of 2018. No snows and I live on a hill. Yup last winter we did not have much snow so not really a good test. My plan has been to work from home if the weather is bad. If you need to go out get snow tires! AWD is not much help

Swim with it all the time and have had no issues

Anybody have an info on the Peabody MA service center rumor? Sears auto at the North Shore Mall if I remember the rumor correctly.

Planning on stock tires for the winter. I am on the coast north of Boston so there will be 4 -8 days this winter that I should not be on the road and I am not going to be on the road.. Been doing that for a few years now, really good move for my well being. I am more scared of the SUV's...

I agree. Any thoughts on a time frame?

My garage is a under the house and summons stops just when the car starts the incline up. I had to summon it forward to get in as I could not open the door. WOW 1st world problems! Any know of settings that can help get it out of the garage?

I just drove an S loaner for 2 days 80 miles whiles my 3 was in for warranty service. I found I could not see the speedo once I had the steering wheel where I wanted it. The 2 screens were too much, I love the 3 and hardly look at the screen any more. I really like the size of the 3. The S is a...

I drove 235 miles (90%) on the mass pike yesterday and my Wh/mi was 213. Auto pilot was set at 70 mph but there was a lot of stop and go traffic on the pike. That is nice fuel savings! Round numbers - has me at $12 cost of electricity if I was paying National grid. I have solar panels.

For heat go geothermal with solar power for the pumps. Had oil and hated it, could not get a quote for geothermal as I am on a rock and at the time everyone wanted to do geothermal on the cape. I guess drilling in sand is way more profitable...... At least I got a really good deal on gas and our...

Solar is the way to go, but it is not cheap upfront. I needed a new roof, trim some trees and then I put up panels. My payback on the solar is 4.3 years. Numbers worked for me. Also I put LED bulbs in, changed the dryer and cook top to gas. My biggest usage of electricity is AC. If we have a...

I put rain X on the windshield and they are now more aggressive, they come on a little too fast now. With Rain X the droplets are smaller so that must help.

I am at about 110% with my solar panels. Now that I have a 3 I may add some panels, but will wait for a year to see what my actual usage is.

When I would gas up i used to always clean my windshields, so I had to purchase a squeegee for $5! I have a squirt bottle so saved a couple of bucks there. Only real issue is I need a roof rack and other than the suction cup style which I do not want there are no options yet. Phone a s a key is...

Well i drove to work this morning without the HVAC and no seat heaters.Mostly level road North of Boston. Air temp 55 deg. My commute is 13 miles mostly stop and go traffic with a few miles at 50 mph. I saw a big increase in my efficiency. I averaged 162 Wh/mile. So for me shutting off the HVAC...

thanks! X-Ray of the Key Card for Hole Punching

Glad to know that the key card is waterproof and they will warranty it. I forgot to ask when I picked up my car. I do a lot of open water swimming and triathlons and was considering drilling a hole in the card so I could clip it to my shorts. Anyone have any thoughts on that idea? I believe...

Great analogy, I also race triathlon and am a big heavy guy. I can hang with anyone on the flats, but hills kill me. I drove my 3 235 miles on the 7th out to western mass and back on the 7th. When I started I had 312 miles of range got home with 60 miles in the tank.This car rocks!

I have the same issue with my S7. I put it into airplane mode for 10 sec then shut off airplane mode and it works. I have only had the car for a few days, but soon will complain if this keeps up

I picked up my blue one on the 31st, nice color- really fun car to drive!

Thanks I will be reading up on it!

Well i just tried to do this and the function did not show up. Anyone able to do this?

Thanks!!!

I picked up my car on the 31st and I love it. I would like to have an entry and exit mode where the steering wheel and seat move out of the way. Speed or ambient noise radio volume auto adjust Store favorite places in the Nav. When the Nav is speaking reduce the radio volume. Mirrors to auto...

No idea about the ratio as they handed me the "keys" when I got there and was in the car checking it out until they came and got me.

I have an android phone and the phone as a key was showing disconnected in the app. Picked up my 3 on the 31st this morning issues. I was told to put the phone into airplane mode wait 10 sec the shut off airplane mode. That worked for me.

I picked up my car yesterday in Dedham MA(they were swamped, they were planning on delivering 40 cars) and what a fun car it is to drive! I have lots to explore in the UI but agree with your observations. Most everything is set it and forget it. With the Nav, should I expect the radio volume to...

That is correct and a good point

Good points but if my memory is correct some models of Porsche (and I believe other makes) specify in their manuals that anti seize for the lug nuts is required and I am guessing that you never lived and worked on cars that like to bath in lovely salt brine that are the roads in the NE for the...

Never seize on lugs was my shops standard practice for the 15 years I owned the repair shop. All lugs were always torqued with a calibrated torque wrench. The possibility of over torquing by a little bit is real but with very little down side, so use very little. Google it and you will find an...

PLEASE use jack stands or blocks of wood under your car, Other than that good advice. I would put a little never seize on the lugs.

Please use

I will ask Tesla and post if I drill a hole in it, thanks Daniel. Dan I never thought about your solution....I just thought about it and..............not going to happen LOL!

I pick my car up in a week (can't wait!) and do not run with my phone or with music. Garmin 910 watch is how I track my workouts. I also swim a bunch in lakes and the ocean. My old car I just left it unlocked keys in the glove box, guess that plan is no longer any good! So the card will get wet...

Anyone know how the piece is removed? I am thinking I will make up a custom replacement.

That's great hope we can get a service location in the area as well.

I was thinking time of day not date as they are guessing at the date. Will try for the 31st!

Received my vin 72XX, Blue with 18" wheels. Non owner #3 in line in Boston. They are guessing I take delivery 3.30.18 in Dedham. If that holds I want to take delivery at 10:03 am...............

Troy your estimator had me configuring on the 27th. Boston store 10:04 AM order. I can configure now! Thanks for all you do

#3 in line in Boston and I can configure!!!!!!!

All wood in a car would be sealed, toned and finished. To get the color that is desired you would tone the wood. This is a layer of color over a sealed piece of wood. You then top coat over that. This is like a car finish, primed, color then clear coat. Not hard if you you know what your doing...

Solar panels and waiting for my 3

The design team has presented us their solution and our dollars will tell them load and clear if it is a successful design. As this car is the first big step to autonomous driving the interior fits the design. I suspect most people voicing their opinions have never designed or had anything...
