The person in that thread is trying to log into the Slacker Premium account that came with the car, they don't have a paid subscription to Slacker. The support page still says: A paid subscription to third-party streaming services is required to access music and media streaming for both Standard...

The support page says "Premium Connectivity is required for in-car streaming music & media over cellular.", note the emphasis. The feature is marked as "Currently available over Wi-Fi for Standard Connectivity" and it definitely is not disabled when Premium Connectivity is unsubscribed, from my...

A paid subscription to streaming services is required to access music and media streaming This is referring to a paid subscription to streaming services, e.g. Spotify Premium being required for Spotify, not Premium Connectivity. That is why the web browser is not impacted.

That is not correct. The support page says "Premium Connectivity is required for in-car streaming music & media over cellular.", note the emphasis. You can always use Spotify and other services in the car over Wi-Fi without Tesla Premium Connectivity, and the current language on the support page...

I've worn a mask in the car dozens of times because it's more convenient than putting it away on a short drive, or more often I simply forgot I had it on.

Please note that you can use the scroll buttons to indicate steering wheel use instead of torquing the wheel. The cabin camera is well below the headliner and I can see it from any seat height in the Model 3, but it sounds like I'm much shorter than you are.

That is correct, the cabin camera is currently only used when FSD Beta is active. I covered it with a sliding webcam cover years ago and only cracked it open after FSD Beta enrollment.

I had to pull my port cover open manually to reposition it when it was frozen over while charging, and you can hear it clicking along detents as you pull on it. That might help adjust the closed position.

These smearing artifacts are typical of the compressed video stream suffering from transmission drop-outs as it's being written to the USB stick. As lensovet suggested, trying a different USB device might produce better results. The problem might also be internal to the car if the data loss is...

The reason for this is the state PD only just released the results of the investigation.

I approved a $0 cost estimate for a service request to install a passenger occupancy filter module (seemingly made by the car itself), but clicking the blue Schedule button has been producing a "Connection Failed" error for the past several days. Anyone else having issues?

It's definitely a bug, but please take a screenshot/photo lol

I replaced a tire last week that still had a slow leak after patching, just looked for a 18" Michelin MXM4 TO (TO and T1 are the Tesla versions) on eBay with a tread depth close to my current tire. Most were around $80-90.

As long as you turn off dashcam recording (TeslaCam) you can safely remove the drive at any time since it is not being written to.

No, this file is a shell script to format a fresh SD card. You need to run it on a Linux computer with the SD card inserted. The other file is an image (exact copy) of an existing card and you can clone that to a new card. Use a tool that writes disk images.

Seems likely to be a coincidence, nothing different about an upgrade from the perspective of the USB ports vs the car turning on and off normally.

The documentation for Light Show says the USB drive "Must not contain any map update or firmware update files", which implies updates from USB are possible. Has that been reported before?

I just installed the updated app manually and the lock and front trunk buttons in the widget now have strange white background art.

If you ever see actual FSD turn on while on a highway (not an exit or entry ramp) that is NOT intended and may be caused by an error in the navigation data. It is only supposed to use the regular Navigate on Autopilot stack on highways.

If it wasn't clear from the other replies, you have the option to turn on or off the FSD Beta in the Autopilot settings menu any time the car is in park (and it is off when you initially get the FSD Beta software). This does not remove you from the FSD Beta testing program.

The widget displaying the last snapshot of information polled by the app is the design I would've assumed, but it seemed like the state in shown in the app was behind the widget on occasions.

I recently updated the Tesla app on Android and the new home screen widget is a huge improvement, especially compared with trying to access the quick controls from the notification. However, I notice that the widget seem to fetch updated vehicle information separately from the app. It...

As far as I know, getting access to run the script from the car itself requires rooting the MCU1 CID which is typically much more physically involved than replacing the SD card.

Here is a good copy of the formatting script: nav-sdcard-format.sh To avoid any issues, right-click on the "Raw" button or this link, and choose "Save link as" It needs to run as root, typically sudo ./nav-sdcard-format.sh ... It does not matter how the microSD card is already formatted, it...

This error is caused by a text program on Windows corrupting the file (Windows uses an incompatible format for line endings). You can fix this with sed -i 's/\r//' nav-sdcard-format.sh or by downloading it again without viewing it on the Windows PC, or downloading it on the Pi instead. chmod...

I haven't tried wearing sunglasses since getting the beta, but I have a sliding webcam cover on the camera. Closing the cover will cause FSD Beta 10.2 onwards to warn that the cabin camera is covered or blinded. Sometimes it will refuse to engage FSD, other times it will let me engage and then...

I opted in last Friday (first scored drive Saturday) and was at 99, also received 2021.36.5.3 this afternoon.

No, it was at like 8% and I left it to complete (usually takes a couple hours because of bad WiFi reception in our parking lot).

My app showed that 2021.4.12.1 was downloading on my 2020 AWD Model 3 last night, but this morning I checked and there was no prompt to install the update and the vehicle was still on 2021.4.12. When I went to the update screen in the car it said that no updates were available. I have Advanced...

I can't find the listing I bought from since it's been over a year, but Set of 4 Upgrade Mud Flaps Splash Guards Front Rear For 2016-2019 Tesla Model 3 | eBay looks identical including the mounting hardware.

The design with the extra "wing" on the front guard attaches to an existing fastener hole. I definitely did not have to drill anything. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0270/4801/8029/products/TriedandTrueMudFlapsPartswithLogoStickerPNG1_979x.png?v=1585253448

That's why I specifically looked for front guards with the extra attachment point. It keeps them tightly fastened.

Are you asking about connecting your Model 3 to your home Wi-Fi network to use the streaming services in the media player? Do It Yourself - Model 3

I prefer guards with a tapering rear end over the flat guards because they're lower drag and provide some additional body protection. I use a set that's the same design as this one: 4PCS Black Car Mud Flaps Splash Guard Mudguard Kit for 2016-2019 Tesla Model 3 | eBay (less than $20 at the time)...

Thanks, I gave it another shot before I saw this reply and discovered the same thing. You have to start with your finger centered directly above (but not on) the three dots, as the correct touch target is apparently very narrow. This is bad UI design. Contrast this with the action of dismissing...

Does anyone using the new driving visualisation (2020.48.26 or FSD beta) have trouble swiping left and right to see the trip counter and tire pressure cards? I can't figure out where the proper swipe target is. 90% of the time if I swipe from the edges above the line with the dots it just...

If we can opt in to sending cabin video recordings Tesla it's only right that we should also have the ability to record locally on demand, as with the external dashcam. It's necessary for passenger privacy to have visual feedback on the screen to indicate the cabin camera and/or mic is active...

The first thing I usually select after starting Spotify is "My Playlists". If that doesn't load, I'll immediately switch to TuneIn and display a podcast playlist. All of the menus work once I return to Spotify. This has been 100% reliable for me.

The whole seat is raised and lowered, and the angle of the seat can also be adjusted.

It probably drained the 12V battery, which happened to me when the collision took out the charging port and the wiring around it. At the tow yard I was able to get into the car by connecting a jumper cable after getting the frunk open (see manual for instructions).

They were very aggressively upselling it to people who placed AWD orders to incentivise them to take delivery sooner. The only physical difference from AWD is suspected to be the rear motor inverter. Since they would only have to use existing inventory parts that were binned for higher current...

The 8th digit is 'C' for 2020 Stealth and Performance and 'B' for LR AWD. I think 'C' was used for MR battery/drivetrain in previous years.

Stealth VINs are the same as 2020 Performance. Tesla changed the VIN digit used to indicate performance models for the 2020 year, so most insurers may not have caught up with that yet. My SA emailed me an example Stealth VIN to check with my insurance while I was deciding whether to take the...

Other tips for using Plastiq with Tesla: Definitely don't send checks through Plastiq, many people had their checks lost The bank account number for wire transfers in your purchase agreement is specific to the order, so add a new wire transfer recipient in Plastiq I used "Tesla Motors Inc." as...

Between points and cash back, my net earnings were $1599.15, after $663.40 in Plastiq fees. Yeah, I know some guy beat me to it in 2018 with a Chase business card and made like $5000. I'm still salty about that. I also applied for the same card that year, but didn't get approved in time to for...

The MVPA appeared on my account at the same time the VIN was assigned (the VIN was still hidden on the page).

This was our 2018 LR RWD after it was rear ended by a BMW. The shop estimate was $34k and my insurance considered it totaled.

Our previous apartment had a garage built a century ago. The door was 7 feet wide, which gave exactly 6 inches of clearance on each side with the mirrors folded. The interior was only 8 feet wide so we couldn't even open the doors and get out of the car on both sides. This was not a problem as...

LEDs do not "refresh". A way to reduce their apparently brightness is pulse-width modulation (PWM), which constantly switches them on and off with a duty cycle in milliseconds which is largely imperceptible. This method is commonly used for dimming because it's less expensive than voltage-based...

The parts catalog indicates LR AWD cars have a different part for the rear motor drive unit (likely the same MOSFET inverter, binned for lower current). The software is responsible for increasing the power limit for the rear motor, but the physical difference is probably the reason converting...
