    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?

    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...

    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...

    What the hell happened to my horn?

    Anyone else experience this? My horn went from "watch out" to "excuse me please" overnight.

    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...

    Anyone ever "camped" at the Mt Shasta Supercharger parking lot?

    My girlfriend and I will be road-tripping from Portland to LAX in a few weeks and we are considering sleeping in the back of our Model 3 at the Mt. Shasta Supercharger parking lot for a quick 4-5 hr sleep. There are many businesses and a large parking lot nearby, and we have both slept in the...

    Range hit with aftermarket wheels?

    Hi everyone, I have seen many comparisons of range differences between 18” aeros on vs 18” aeros off (seems to be close to 4-5% from a few findings online). My question is regarding the difference between 18” aeros on vs aftermarket 18” rims. I am keeping the same tires that came with my Model...

    Official Tesla Spoiler Potentially for Sale in Future

    I am looking to get a carbon fiber spoiler installed on my LR RWD M3, but the purist in me would only want an official one from Tesla (the few aftermarket solutions I have researched don't look the same). So I called Tesla, knowing it would be a major longshot, and asked them if I could buy the...

    What should be 80% SOC is only 68%

    I have a 310 mile LR RWD Model 3. When I charge to 80%, I should roughly see (310 x 0.8 ) 248 miles. But in reality I see 212 which equates closer to 68%, a pretty substantial difference. I live in Portland Oregon and charge indoors in my garage. Is this normal battery health?

    Model 3 rear ended

    Long story short- Model 3 was rear ended this morning. It was very low impact and I don't notice any cosmetic damages. When I get off work I am going to check closer, and I will have a certified Tesla body shop look at it closer to see if any sensors were damaged as well. Does anyone have any...

    Supercharge an iPhone X

    Ok I know this is literally impossible and would probably explode an iPhone, but I’m asking strictly mathmateically. I figured someone on this forum could figure this out. All the logistical reasons keeping this from happening aside (no converter, would overheat the iPhone battery, probably a...

    Tesla Releases Official Qi Charger

    Anybody see this? Unfortunately it got taken down shortly afterwards. Also $65 is pretty steep for a 5W charger, but the fanboy in me will buy two when it comes back online :D Tesla Debuts $65 5W Battery-Powered Qi Wireless Charger [Updated]

    Rent a Tesla Unlimited Miles

    Hi everyone, I have a Model 3 and my girlfriend and I were thinking about taking a cross country roadtrip in a Model X. We want the X over the 3 just because we plan on taking a 3 week trip and an X would be more spacious/comfortable. The only issue is, I can find a bunch of Model X's to rent...

    One issue with the continuous air vent

    For those of you with passengers that are always cold (cough cough my girlfriend), the one downside is you cannot turn off the individual passenger side air entirely. 100% of other cars on the road you can simply shut the vent and that’s it. Now I know there are workarounds (such as adjusting...

    Referral Program Question

    I didn't realize that you only need one referral for the $500 black wall connector. I was planning on buying the non-black version until I realized this. The only issue is I dont really have a wide platform to share my code. I wanted to ask, is there a rule against giving the future...

    Tesla called and needs to replace my battery ASAP

    Quick backstory- I’ve had my Model 3 for 2.5 months now. I received a voicemail from my service center and this was the transcript word for word (copy/pasted from my iPhone). Has anyone heard of this happening before? I’m honestly a bit concerned. “Hello this is ____ calling from Tesla...

    Who still doesnt have Summon?

    I know these updates sometimes take a few weeks to rollout to everyone but DAMN. Am I the only one without the software update that gives you summon and cabin overheat protection? Hopefully I'm not the only one, but I'm getting slightly impatient. It would be very nice to have the cabin overheat...

    Tesla added White and Red to their Paint Repair Kit!

    See the link below for the same product with the updated color choices. As a pearl white multi coat Model 3 owner, I’m a little hesitant to buy because according to the kit, the color is simply “white”, not “pearl white multi coat”. Can anyone confirm if this will look seamless with the paint...

    @Teslaparkinglot on Instagram

    This might be a fun fact for the superfans out there. I was on the factory tour with my girlfriend last week and the ridiculously informative/hilarious tour guide told us of an instagram account that simply documents the madness of the Tesla Factory parking lot. He said parking is so crowded...

    Rapid Turn Signal Blinker (2X speed)

    My Model 3 (vin 17xxx) had it's daytime headlight out on the drivers side. I brought it to Tesla and they replaced with a brand new one within 24 hours. This morning I wake up and noticed my left turn signal (which is the same headlight as the one they just replaced) is now blinking almost...

    Amazing Car, Amazing Delivery, Amazing Experience

    Hi everyone, I think everyone can agree with me that the people with issues pipe up (understandably) way more than the people without. So I'd like to take this time to represent those of us with nothing but reasonably positive experiences. Here is my customer journey. I took delivery about...

    Solution for NEMA 14-30 Dryer

    Hi everyone, Apologies for the handful of threads, I am hoping someone can verify I bought the correct 2 products. My dryer is plugged into a NEMA 14-30, see attached pic. To get power out to my car, I purchased this extension cord. (I know some of you will suggest that I properly install...

    Extension cord from dryer outlet?

    Hi everyone I have an electrical question that hopefully you can help with. Here is my scenario.. I am renting a house. My Model 3 (that I’m picking up in a few weeks) will be in a detached garage about 30 feet away from our dryer. Multiple electricians in addition to Tesla themselves advise...

    Does basically every owner here use HomeLink?

    I plan on picking up my Model 3 in a few weeks, and I was doing some research on HomeLink. In short, I didn’t realize how easy it was and how compatible it is with basically every garage door system. Am I missing something here? Does it really work with basically every garage door system and is...

    Longest wait from configure to delivery?

    I’m looking to see who out there has had the longest wait from configuration to actually taking delivery. I only ask because I configured my car a couple weeks ago but I set up an appointment to get the windows tinted in my car for about 10 weeks out. I’m hoping not many people have waited 10...

    240v Electrical Question

    Hi everyone, I’ll try to keep this short. I’m renting a house without 240v power in the garage, yet it has 110v. It costs too much to instal 240v to the garage (I’ll spare the details about why it costs more than most houses). The garage is detached from the house, by about 6 feet. I only...

    Key Card in Wallet Phone Case

    I have an odd question for everyone, I have a wallet case for my iPhone like I’m sure some of you also have. I would like to put my Model 3 key card in the case once I take delivery in about a month. My question is, can I wirelessly charge my phone with the key card in the case? I ask this...

    Sooo... no delivery estimate delays from Tesla?

    Shortly after the Q4 2017 earnings call is when most of us experienced a 3 month delay in our delivery window from Tesla. Part of me was afraid we'd experience the same thing after Q1 2018. The fact that nobody has gotten a delay is a great sign, right?

    What is everyone doing with their house key? Is that a weird question?

    Let me explain my situation. I currently own a Chevy Volt, and on the key fob is my key to my house in addition to the car key. When I get my Model 3, I will be excited to drop one less thing to carry, but I will still need my house key. It feels weird to have a keychain with only one key. Is...

    $2k to configure now?

    Question for those of you waiting in line. Would you pay $2k to configure now and take delivery in 4 weeks? I only ask because I am debating paying someone $2k to configure his reservation now. No need for us to chat about the logistics of the deal, we’ve worked that out already. I’m just...

    Wireless Smartphone Charging?

    With many Samsung phones offering wireless charging and Apple's new iPhone 8 and X offering the same technology, do you think Tesla will add/include some way to wirelessly charge your smartphone in the Model 3? It would be very welcomed on my part!

    Urban Superchargers (Mostly Great, Slightly Bad)

    First let me say, as a city dweller myself, I am more than excited to hear of these new Superchargers coming to urban areas. That being said... Doesn't Tesla recommend you plug in your car every night and as often as possible to slow down degradation? Does this mean that us city dwellers will...

    There is one objective advantage the 3 has over the S and X

    Minimalism. I'm aware the S and X can be argued as faster cars or more "luxurious" (which is a subjective term) but in terms of minimalism, the 3 has them both beat. As a minimalist, this excites me. A dash that is cleaner along with a fob that is cleaner (having it being absorbed into your...

    What will your Model 3 look like?

    With all these new Model 3s on the streets in the next couple years, I want to put something together that will show us which will be the most common look (color/wheel combo). A simple vote is all we need! PS- I know we can modify further but this is based off of what Tesla directly offers from...

    The Beauty Vs Fear of Driving a Computer

    Beauty- Software updates. Your car becomes outdated much later than most. Fear- Fast paced industry. Think of how much better electric cars are now than they were 5 years ago. This leads me to the age old question- buy or lease? I'm afraid that if I buy, they will have electric cars than can...
