I have a 2018 Model 3. I tried to work on this once but didn't find a way. I will give your suggestions a try. Thank you Kevy Baby!

Any update in 2024 on how to suggest new features? I would like to see an option to keep high beam headlights on or as default. perhaps manually. Auto high beams don't come on consistently on dark roads.

Can I activate the M3 alarm in an emergency? For instance, if a crime is happening near my car, I would like to activate the alarm whether I'm inside the car or nearby. Is there a panic button?.

I'm holding out too (staying with 2022.20.8. I wonder how long I can do so. I get reminders to install over and over. What it is like to lose the radar sensors? I have come to rely on them. My M3 is bigger than my previous car too.

Hi. I was miffed at first with this update but I'm getting used to it and am OK with it now.

When/how do you see the blind spot display? Where are the seat heater controls? I had no idea everything would be changed this much.

I also have the message 'unable to obtain IP address.' Wifi (extender) gives a strong signal. It tries to connect and seems like it is then gives me that message. Did you keep pressing the "retry" button? I did that for a while but no go. I've had few problems before this update (2020.48.30).

I tried "show odometer" with no luck. It showed how many miles driven since last charge (I believe) which said zero, not accurate. This is 2020.48.30. Any help appreciated. I think whoever changed the interface forgot to include the odometer!

I'm still looking for the odometer. Looked all over the interface, tried some verbal commands, searched the manual, no luck. I did not use the exact words mentioned "show odometer." Will give it a try. Also, it won't connect to my wifi. It seems to shift between LTE and wifi. It seems to...

You can't drive 5 -10 minutes? Do you use nav on autopilot all the time? Driving is one of the most difficult brain activities even with autopilot. You can't zone out safely imho. What do you call senior accidents? (Dare I ask?).

In my experience dealing with quality issues can be a pain with any car brand. I had a safety issue neglected for 6 months by BMW. They had all kinds of excuses why they couldn't get to it. The ICE carmakers have little commitment to their EV fleet and seem to be offering them as an afterthought.

Raleigh.

Idea - find your local owners club and join. Often they have a dialog going on with the local service center.

I hate to hear this. I've had my M3 for 2 years and have not had problems with the service center. Maybe it's certain centers? I don't have a way of contacting my local SC by phone, only through the app which I don't like. They just opened a new large service building. Anyway, there must be...

Thanks for reminding me about voice commands, I was having a senior moment, LOL!. Who says seniors don't want to go 0-60 in 2.8 seconds? I sure do. I think m3 makes driving easier, especially at night.

My better half always said the Prius looked like a gravid insect. He doesn't say that about our model 3.

I feel peace of mind having hired a pro electrician to install my charger. DIY is great but when its something explosive (gas lines) or fire prone (electrical wiring), I'm not doing it myself! $300 is a good price imho, I think I paid more than that, 2 years ago. (I've already forgotten what I...

Rocket man? LOL

The electric company provides a graph showing the previous year's usage. I could not tell any difference in my electric bill since I bought my Model 3. For me, nowhere near $40.00 a month, maybe $5.00?

To OP, I would have given the homeless guy some bucks for his educated compliment!

What's simply history?

A friend who was an early investor (2011?) told me about Tesla. Not convinced yet, I read a Musk biography in 2015/16. Years ago I had driven a hybrid stick fleet vehicle for work trips and thought it was a much better car to drive than pure ICE. I had also seen the film "Who killed the...

Was this a Fox or Sinclair news station?

I think the world of Elon but I'm worried about him, enough so that I think he should have a cognitive test. These are the words on the test that must be remembered for at least 10 minutes: Fauci, expert, medical, science, works.

Musk should read some history about the 1918 flu pandemic . Go to Mars with him but don't follow his medical advice! Our science is so much better now, but somehow a large enough part of our society doesn't believe in science or expertise anymore. They discount the medical discoveries learned...

Does Musk still think covid is a hoax? Is he still part of the personal freedom no mask zombie death cult? I'm glad he's not a medical doctor!

I didn't want to say it's a dumb state ... I feel for those prorenewables trapped there. I guess some might say my state is dumb, NC is a much better choice IMHO.

Oklahoma would have destroyed Tesla had it begun there in the early years. Musk is rewarding this, now? The building will need to be earthquake proof like CA.

Musk may be a brilliant engineer but he knows squat about public health as do those who believe the lockdowns violate rights. Read The Great Influenza about the 1918 pandemic. Despite our advanced science 100 years later, we're making the same mistakes because too many people are ignoring or...

"Texas reports highest one-day spike in coronavirus cases" (5/18/20). OK Musk, if that's what you want. Countries that controlled the virus have recovered their economies faster. I think California will be doing better than the rest of the country economically as they may not have to close down...

I don't see Texas as a place that values labor. To a point, if Musk wants the wild west attitude during a pandemic (I have a right to sicken myself and you too) why go to a generally progressive part of Texas? Because the other parts would try to snuff out electric car makers. I'm not convinced...

Oklahoma is an oil state that is OK with earthquakes caused by fracking. It should be the last place for a factory. There's been a lot of structural damage to buildings from earthquakes there.

Texas will destroy Tesla, Texas is the oil and gas capital. Their political system and auto dealers will make life as difficult as possible for Tesla and work to take them down asap. Musk is acting like a child, it is disappointing coming from someone I admired for innovation. He can't wait...

The driver is responsible until cars can drive themselves. Autopilot requires driver attention same as using brakes and cruise control. I think those suing are looking for extra $. If drivers can blame their cars for accidents no one will be responsible. Will people then sue Ford, Toyota...

Company financial condition ... to start. I'm not a financier, but 'stock too high' from the head of the co. Carries more weight than John Smith stockholder's opinion. Worrisome. I'm disappointed in his free Cali talk. Without a deadly virus, telling people to stay home would violate rights...

People with a platform and a following should not give advice as if they were health care professionals IMO. This is a new virus that we do not understand fully and it will take time to know how it acts. The full story is not yet revealed.

I don't want him to get in trouble. He should stay off Twitter. My better owns Apple and likes Apple's CEO who "stays quiet."

Seems like Musk defied the order to me.

Hi, I didn't do anything and the rear view camera started working the next day. The car was sitting in the garage. I checked it in reverse and park. Hopefully it's here to stay.

I got 2019.40.50.1 yesterday and lost the back up camera . Don't know what to do. Never happened before.

I didn't find anything about this. The jump would be using cables to the Tesla 12 volt battery. I'm thinking it's not a good idea, but it would be nice to help if needed. .

Hi, I ended up calling Tesla. We powered off the car, but it was still stuck (update was 60% completed after 12 hours). We rebooted my router , which boosted the signal. Tesla pushed the download and all was good. Next time i'll try on my own. Phone help service was great.

This update began without warning. Usually I get a notice an update is available and I'm asked to give an OK as to the timing. The charge cable was connected (home). Any ideas?

I'm asking on behalf of someone else who wants to know if there's a way for non-Tesla EVs to charge at a Tesla supercharger? Thanks.

Where is the power off button? I'm getting a download that's slow but just started. The app did not notify me, I saw the icon in the car, which is unusual.

Sorry to hear about your problems! I am glad there is movement to resolve your issues. In general, I find phoning the service center does not get the fastest response, going through the phone app is much better. I had some issues early on with my M3, which Tesla fixed without delay. A few...

I haven't experienced any auto dealer giving free service to a 2 1/2 year old car without a struggle. Maybe we've forgotten. All but one dealership I have worked with offered loaners. I can't relate to the complaints since I've had excellent service. I read that Tesla is fixing the yellow...

I don't agree with the articles points. I don't think women are turned off to the cars by CEO Musk. They are likely unfamiliar with ev charging and general care and are turned off like many men by misconceptionsor, something new, or lack of knowledge. Once they know the full story they'll buy...

I hear you can reach Elon on Twitter. Not a Twitter user ...

If the US won't support Tesla or other alternative fuel auto companies, and actually works against them (removing EV incentives, letting Koch Bros run free with disinformation, states making it difficult for Tesla to sell cars, etc.), I agree we could very well end up buying Chinese EVs since...
