    Sentry Mode Turned Itself Off?

    Just received this notification while my car was sitting safely in the garage. "Sentry mode has turned off due to a sentry system error." Has anyone received this notification before? I was able to turn it back on right away in the app. Wondering if this has anything to due with the latest...

    Quarantined charging habits?

    If you had read my follow up post below, you would have realized that I agreed having someone put words in Tesla’s mouth is reckless. Aside from that, having a conversation regarding owners charge limit during a quarantine is completely fine and reasonable, not RECKLESS at all.

    Quarantined charging habits?

    Bingo

    Quarantined charging habits?

    I totally agree with you that nobody should be putting words in Tesla's mouth, so yes that comment shouldn't have happened whoever said it. As for the other part of this conversation, discussing with owners where they are placing their charge % during this time is completely reasonable.

    Quarantined charging habits?

    A reckless thread to see how others are charging their car? You realize this conversation also exists when there isn't a quarantine going on, correct? Nothing reckless to poll other owners and see how they are dealing with the situation, calm down.

    Quarantined charging habits?

    If I have an unexpected emergency my car at 60% can go nearly 200 miles :D and I don’t think I have ever driven that many miles unless on a road trip. No family out of state so no reason to ever drive that far.

    Quarantined charging habits?

    Since I now only drive to the grocery store every couple weeks and nothing more, I have set my charge limit down to 60%. I have it start charging in the middle of the night every night. It sits in a shared garage so I have Sentry Mode running all day. Because of this, it dips to about 56% by...

    HW3 Retrofit in the PDX Area yet?

    My VIN is 17,000 and Tesla still hasn't reached out to me about my HW3 upgrade yet in PDX. Anyone in the similar boat with a low VIN and no upgrade?

    How many of you still carry keys?

    Thats awesome. I utilize wireless charging way too much on my phone to be able to obtain that setup. But one day I would love to be just my phone, and ditch my wallet + keys.

    Range hit with aftermarket wheels?

    I have not seen any noticeable change in my range since I have switched so I am happy with my decision :)

    AWD Long Range w/Autopilot or Performance without?

    Performance eats away at battery a little too much for my taste. I have a LR RWD 3 and love the fact that it is the most efficient Model 3 on the road. For that reason, I would go AWD LR for your Y

    Driving Down I-5 - Seeking temporary solution for protection again rock chips

    I have driven 1-5 from Portland - LAX, LAX back to Portland twice now, with no noticeable rock chip damage. As long as you don't get too close to the cars in front of you, you should be ok.

    Cybertruck and superchargers

    Moderator note: This post was merged from another thread. I don’t mean this from a technological standpoint, I mean this from a pure dimensional standpoint. When I pull up to a supercharger in my Model 3, I have to get pretty close to the station so that the cord reaches the charge port. On...

    What did you name your Tesla?

    The purist and OCD in me needs my Bluetooth devices to match up. And because my iOS devices are simply named "Dimitri's iPhone XS" etc, my car needs to be named "Dimitri's Model 3". Not exciting I know, but necessary for me :D

    Best Dash Cam setup?

    I just purchased all items in my original post. I’m probably most excited for the MicroSD card reader with Lightning port so I can check footage on my phone in my car without having to use a computer.

    Best Dash Cam setup?

    I'm ok with the price of this setup as I am intending to keep this car for a long time. What issues are some Jeda hub owners reporting? Its good to know that this same setup will work without the Jeda Hub if needed.

    Best Dash Cam setup?

    Hey everyone, wanted to get some feedback on this dash cam setup I am debating buying. In my opinion, it's the perfect setup in terms of safety, longevity, and convenience. Please let me know if you see any issues with this setup and hopefully I can help inspire others to do the same! Safety...

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    Last time I charged to 100% was about 5 months ago and it displayed the full 325 miles. May 2018 build with about 16,000 miles on it at the time. Have only charged to 100% about three times and I dont supercharge often.

    FSD refund attempt: Tesla rep is lying

    Sorry to hear about that. I must be lucky because my local SC has been very responsive and professional, and I feel like the excellent quality of my Model 3 has matched my excellent customer service as well. I'm sorry your situation has been different and I wish you luck in whatever future car...

    FSD refund attempt: Tesla rep is lying

    How did your situation end up?
  27. lupend88

    New Tesla? Nope, never again! Cherry Hill Tesla the worst.

    My understanding is each service center capacity varies. My SC in Portland has always given me a higher end Model S while they have worked on my Model 3.

    New Tesla? Nope, never again! Cherry Hill Tesla the worst.

    7/7 of your reasons for not getting another Tesla are service related? Sounds like you need a Camry.

    Low-tech Tesla tennis ball

    Here’s my super simple solution. High quality duct tape on the garage floor. Simply pull in with your backup camera on. The first silver strip is a warning and the red strip is saying it’s time to stop now. It’s basically the tennis ball trick except on the floor and much less obtrusive!

    Jeda just released a new USB hub. Mounts Flush and hides flash drive

    Cancelled my order the moment I got that email. I dealt with multiple delays when their wireless charger came out, and the moment I got this delay I told them I was uncomfortable to proceed. Will maybe order in a year or so when the product has worked it’s kinks out. They quickly came out with...

    In case anyone is wondering- the next day the horn was completely back to normal, looks like it fixed itself.

    Those with EnhancedAP to receive 3k discount on FSD

    Just pulled the trigger for $3k FSD and could not be more stoked! I went back and forth a bunch, and ultimately what gave me the most comfort is the fact that I’m keeping this car for a decade, and by the time I go to sell it, hopefully the value of FSD will likely be more than the $3k it is...

    Those with EnhancedAP to receive 3k discount on FSD

    I'm so torn, because knowing Tesla, the price will increase at a moments notice so I want to pull the trigger now before it rises in price. On the other hand, I'm not sure how this works from an insurance standpoint. If anyone has any insight into how insuring software added to a car...

    Sentry Mode Alarm needs to not be audio-triggered

    Yep, its not just an Sentry Mode event, its legit my alarm going off with flashing lights and honking horn. I'm sure the people of the garage are getting annoyed too, even though its not my fault. I wonder if other car alarms go off, but reviewing footage, I don't see any other cars with their...

    Sentry Mode Alarm needs to not be audio-triggered

    I don't really have an option of where I park, it's the only garage that my work has access to. Good idea temporarily disabling Sentry. It's kind of a pain to worry about every day but its the best plan so far!

    Sentry Mode Alarm needs to not be audio-triggered

    I guess I have no way of knowing since there is no audio in the video. I do know he accelerates though because I can see it in the side camera. I get into work at 6am and he normally sets off my alarm around 8:30am so I would have to leave a note, and his car is extra douchey and I dont really...

    Sentry Mode Alarm needs to not be audio-triggered

    Some jerk in the parking garage that I park at has figured out if he revs his pickup truck engine next to my Model 3, the sentry mode will go off and trigger an alarm. Ever since then, when he drives by my car on his way to parking, his engine makes a loud noise and I have to go downstairs to...

    Used LR Early Build Worth It?

    I have a May 2018 build as well, VIN 017xxx, so produced within a couple weeks of the car you are looking at. I can say that I haven't had any issues whatsoever. Excellent build quality, panels aligned very well, and no paint issues in the bumper (there were some early paint issues with the...

    Full Charge Range

    After one year of ownership and about 18,000 miles, a full 325 mile charge at 100%. In case it matters to anyone, I charge to 80% overnight, have only Supercharged maybe 20 times, and only have charged to 100% twice.

    What’s the one thing you like the least about your Model 3?

    The inability to turn off the fan on the passenger side. My girlfriend reminds me of this lack of functionality just about every time I turn the AC on :D

    Model 3 was towed and damaged with Sentry videos

    Because it was rude. I don't disagree with it by definition, but a lot of users here (me including) also use it as a "dislike" button.
