    Car Shutting Down At Rest

    It is getting old. I could accept that it goes into a deep sleep if it only happened overnight or after hours of being parked. But it happens during the day, while out and about, sometimes after as few as ten minutes.

    Moisture condensation in taillights, fog lights, etc

    My left rear was like an aquarium. Mobile fixed it in my driveway in fifteen minutes, five of which was just chatting :)

    Discussion: Floor Mats in Model 3

    This is the first car in a long time I've had *without* cocomats. I may yet still get some … They are expensive but I've always found them totally worth it. Our i3 has a set of the striped variant.

    Tesla Online Shop slow to ship orders?

    The winter wheels and tires are apparently shipped from Mars.

    Tesla Online Shop slow to ship orders?

    Still waiting for any update on winter wheels/tires ordered Nov 10th.

    Car Shutting Down At Rest

    I believe I too experience what the OP describes (no display, no sound, dead pedal). I haven't tried just driving as the seats/wheel etc are all still in easy entry positions. Indeed after the display comes alive I have to manually reselect a driver profile to get a reasonable driving position...

    Model 3 Software Update 2018.48.x

    What app can a mac/iphone user on fios use to view what (how much) the model 3 has been downloading? Still on 42.4 and would like to see if 48 is in the works.

    Screen is asleep but car can go into gear, learned something new.

    This happens to me periodically, across several software versions (currently at 42.4). Today I spent 45 minutes in one place and the car woke up instantly when I got back in. Moved less than a 1/4 mile away and went into a store for 15 minutes: blank screen and 'T' reboot when I got back in...

    How often do you use frunk?

    I find opening it merely mildly annoying. I mainly dislike closing it. It is awkward, takes two free hands, and feels flimsy and potentially damaging when I use a lot of force after it fails to latch the first time. For me it borders on worthless. Good for a rarely needed first aid kit or something.

    How to install vinyl over your door opening switches.

    I am trying real hard not to buy a Cricut just to make these :)

    Window Down, I didn't do it

    I've had my passenger window put itself down 100%. In the rain. My wife came home and said, "hey why is [name of car]'s window down." From the looks of the inside it hadn't been down for a very long time, but it was still plenty wet. Deeply concerning. That was the second time it has done so...

    New Version of Owner's Manual Now Available 13 Mar 2018

    Given the web browser in the car now it seems especially sad there's not a live searchable version accessible.

    Time Circuits On!

    These are fun. I look forward to having a cozy cockpit fire in the winter :P They do seem optimized for a portrait display. It would be deluxe to have some optimized for the resolution and orientation of the model 3 display.

    USB port management if the Dashcam update in Rev 9 takes 1 port

    Hm, I just installed the Nomad today and have been wondering about this. The Nomad site says that you can run the charger from only one USB (at lower power) but the pad won't turn on unless both are connected. It sounds like maybe after the car goes to sleep and then restarts the pad won't...

    Hiding the aero covers in the app and in car display

    I didn't configure with the supermodels and now after delivery I see the cost to add them is unreasonable. :(

    Hiding the aero covers in the app and in car display

    Same here. My delivery person said, "Hey, your car is silver but the app car is white. You should [call and] ask them to change it." I haven't called but did ask if it was possible under Ask A Question on my account page.

    M3 Acceleration Shudder/Vibration in the wheel

    Thanks for this topic, saved me some worry. It would be nice to be able to use lane departure as intended, though, without seemingly random freakouts while driving straight down the middle :P

    AWD delivery thread

    My VIN and MVPA just disappeared. Had Sunday delivery rescheduled from today. Portland, OR. Update: minutes later … new VIN. Whew.

    AWD delivery thread

    I may have imagined it, but I feel like one time I did not see my new information with just refreshing the page but did see it when I logged out from my account and logged back in. Probably irrelevant and the equivalent of rebooting a computer "just in case." No MVPA seems a bit odd given you...

    Is the 7 days to get your vin automated?

    Mine did not change. My MVPA document never disappeared either (that references the VIN). I guess a caveat might be that sometimes from what I keep reading there may be some variables that affect some folks but not others. Who knows what those variables actually are? I dunno. Location, trade...

    Car Cover for Model 3?

    I'm a week away from being able to try mine :P
  22. bradl

    Is the 7 days to get your vin automated?

    There's something programmatic about it. I got mine roughly 7 days before. When my delivery was rescheduled the VIN disappeared from the page (it was still on the MVPA). It then reappeared once I got within 7 days of the new delivery date.

    AWD delivery thread

    Mine is 87nnn. Seems like an "early" VIN compared to the 100nnn's were seeing and worried for a bit about why but decided that worrying about such things is not productive or healthy (for me, anyway). Was scheduled for 9/26 delivery but bumped to 9/30. That bothers more than the VIN :P I was...

    AWD delivery thread

    Hmm. I'm in OR also. I've always added new cars to insurance after taking delivery once I got home with a VIN etc. My agent told me I'm covered for a period of time regardless. I've not actually spoken to anyone at the SC, just the delivery scheduler in NV whom I did not ask any questions. Guess...

    Same day, same location. VIN (87nnn) appeared yesterday 9/20.

    Wireless Qi charger opinions

    I tried but it said my order did not qualify. Back on the fence I go :) I love my Pitaka magnetic mount in my Jeep (and I have a suction mount on my dresser at home for overnight charging) but I don't see any practical unobtrusive means for using one in the Model 3. The cleanliness of the...

    AWD delivery thread

    Is there any actual value to refreshing the order page? I do it from habit but it sort of seems like email and phone calls happen in advance of anything *reliably* predictive happening on the web page. I'm unlikely to stop refreshing, regardless :p

    Silver AWD configurations and deliveries

    That is how I imagine it too, given batching. No idea how they decide batch sequencing but within a configuration batch I imagine that the multi-variables of reservation, order, and location apply.

    Spotted on Reddit: FCC paperwork for a new Tesla BLE Fob.....

    I'd probably get a fob If offered. Please make any fob as small, flat, and pocketable as possible with any panic modes near impossible to trigger accidentally. When pocketed I also prefer not to appear over-fond of my vehicle.

    Maps Traffic Not Exactly Working

    The idea of only showing accurate traffic data when a route is programmed is peevesome to say the least. I don't navigate via programmed route unless I don't know where I'm going but I always want to know traffic conditions on visible alternative routes as I "just drive around."

    New vs Old Rear Seats

    That might help. Coincidentally in the Dreamcase Review topic there was a video posted of how to remove the entire seat cushion to get the entire area flat. I probably won't go that far but at least now I know how!

    New vs Old Rear Seats

    Thanks for the pics! About what I expected from a sedan so I won't be cancelling my order or anything :p I travel with one or two small dog crates (Cairn Terrier sized) and I feel like it's nicer for them if they are closer to the front than the trunk and on a level surface. In my MINI Clubman...

    New vs Old Rear Seats

    If the seats previously folded flat and now do not that's the first bit of news about the Model 3 that bums me out. Well that and missing lifetime premium connectivity by two days.

    Car Cover for Model 3?

    I'm finding it here. Covercraft Weathershield HP Custom Car Cover I can choose model 3 with cutout for charging. Ventilation is not mentioned so not sure if that means charging port flap only or both port and battery ventilation cutouts.

    “A specialist will contact you within 48 hours”

    My AWD says the same but still also lists estimated delivery as Sep-Nov. I've never changed anything from the day I configured (7/8). Last Friday night I noticed the new "confirm everything" page and the updated status page language along with everyone else, apparently. I swear at one point...

    P3D / AWD get EPA Ratings! Is AWD worth it?

    It makes me think of times that I had to add a bullet point to a slide or web page or something to fill out some space or balance a column or something. "Hmm, what are some words I can put here that seem at least vaguely related to the list and isn't literally false?"

    Ceramic Coat a new Model 3?

    As a cheapskate I'm sorry to hear that ceramic helps :) My car will (must) be parked under a 100+ foot Douglas fir that rains down sap like you would not believe. I'm planning on a cover (what a pain) but I will get sap at some point between the time I pull in and the time it takes to get the...

    TM3 Trunk VS Dog!

    Ours will be a dogmoble although we always use a small crate. (15-20 lbs terriers). Because trunk, we are assuming that a seat will be folded down the day we pick up the car and remain so forevermore. Prefer hatch for loading/unloading but that’s not what’s on offer and not sure I’ll live long...
