    Sudden Unexpected Acceleration today

    This a story about an incident that happened before most of you even a twinkle in your parents eyes. A grade school friend of mine’s mother hit the gas instead of the brake in reverse. She hit and killed a state trooper on a motorcycle. 10 years in prison. This stuff happens.

    Model 3 12v Battery issues, monitoring, Aftermarket replacement

    I installed an Ohmmu Li Ion 12v in March. Did it myself because I like that stuff. Ohmmu is made outside of Phoenix. Comes with 4 year 100% warranty. Not prorated. Some users report over 5 years of service. Live in Tucson where 12v wet cells are dead in two years. Ohmmu is an outstanding company...

    Connectivity when driving in Mexico

    You can buy Mexican insurance near any border crossing. $40 a day is high in my experience. You can buy by week or 6 months or annually, usually

    How does Ohmmu Battery perform in Hot Climate

    I installed a Ohmmu 12V Li ion battery on April 8, 2020 in my M3. Excellent battery. Warranty is exceptional. Live in Tucson where 2 years for lead acid battery is standard. All was well with added amperage giving extra boost to A/C and sound system. Great people to deal with. In early...

    Lithium 12v battery upgrade question

    I installed an Ohmmu 12V Lithium battery on April 8th in my M3. I have nothing but good things to say about it. We live in Tucson, very hot climate and it is part of life that lead acid batteries last no more than 2 years. In early September after an OTA update I started receiving warnings that...

    Germany Rules on Using Tesla Screen Wiper Controls

    The main issue I see with this is that it requires your attention to both sides of the driver. The screen and the scroll wheel.

    Finding it hard to remain passionate about Tesla

    I think we should all try to keep Tesla in perspective. For example, I got my M3 25 months ago. I had waited a full 2.5 years since placing my reservation on the night of the unveil. Delivery was promised in May and then days before delivery it was postponed until "early" July. I was truly...

    Finding it hard to remain passionate about Tesla

    I agree with you. I think the dealership model will make it impossible to be competitive in the EV business. The dealers won't make any money on service and their overhead on sales with make the vehicles uncompetitive. If the vehicles do require service, by design, that will be a death knell.

    Finding it hard to remain passionate about Tesla

    I'm genuinely sorry to read of your dissatisfaction. I've had my 3 for 25 months with very few issues. Software is never perfect but I've never used any software that is perfect. We don't yet have a service center but it's coming. We do have a really super ranger program. They came out...

    Pic of your Model 3.......RIGHT NOW! [model 3 pictures thread]

    I love to see Teslas being used for something besides a love interest. We have driven our M3 on some very rough dirt roads a couple of times exploring wilderness areas. I don't push it hard and it performs well. Just have to be mindful of clearance.

    2020.12.5.6: Traffic Light & Stop Sign Control

    Sides point rear. My guess would be either two forward cameras are triangulating or radar and cameras are working together. Amazing stuff in any case.

    First post... my model 3 is dead as a brick.

    Probably the 12V. Replace it with an Ohmmu Lithium Ion made specifically for your model. 48 Month warranty 100% refund.

    Battery drain while parked or car in storage

    Try rebalancing the battery power management system. Run the battery down to below 20%, charge to close to 100%. Repeat total of 3X.

    MASTER THREAD: Powering house or other things with Model 3

    If you run your 12V down you will be dead in the water.There is supposed to be a low battery warning but more than one report of no warning. I just replaced my with an Ohmmu Li Ion built specifically for the M3. There are several videos on Youtube and the 12V and how to change it out for the M3...

    Regenerative braking vs brake pedal

    if you saw the green line and no dotted line and no warning message then my guess is yes. Regren.

    Regenerative braking vs brake pedal

    Hold mode is a fantastic feature. It kicks in as soon as the car stops and will prevent roll back or forward under any circumstances that I’ve experienced so far.

    I'm on 2020.4, and still no updates. Is there a way to force my M3 to update?

    Call your service center. They can force it.

    Warning!!! Model 3 will make you immature (again)

    Had my M3LR for two years in July. I’m probably at least twenty years older than you. I’ve never dragged anyone but I’ve delightedly had a few rude drivers eat my dust. Definitely turns back my clock. My wife loves the car but not when my right foot gets a little heavy.

    Need advice....Car in workshop for 3 months

    A guess; The window had been lowered manually and when the door was slammed it hit the door frame and shattered which Tesla warns of. Anyone working on a Tesla should know that. What kind of damage could possible have caused the car to be in the shop for three months. I wonder why Tesla...

    Software update version 36.2.1 user interface changes

    I'm not sure why they added the Hold button. Hold has been available in the 19 months I've owned my Model 3 as long as creep is switched off. I use cruise control and also autopilot on all local driving unless there is a reason not to. The car stops at lights and signs as long as I'm not the...

    Sure. There are navigation apps that you can restrict to the satellite signal. Apple has had satellite GPS I believe since the iPhone 3. Why they don't push it I have no idea.

    Connectivity when driving in Mexico

    I'm familiar with Chubb as an American company but unless they are Incorporated as a Mexican insurance company you are not covered for liability in Mexico. They may pay you for a injury you sustain for example but by Mexican law they can not cover you for third party liability for Mexicans. If...

    Connectivity when driving in Mexico

    In Arizona there are probably many more square miles without cell service than with. I have just forgotten about the blue line. At least with the blue line you can follow the "bread crumbs". I can also switch my iPhone over to Sat coverage.
