    Did my windshield tint lead to this crack?

    I had a crack a day or two after I heard (but didn't see) a rock hitting my windshield as well. Windshield was tinted by the previous owner and I hated the tint, so I'm kinda happy I got it replaced. I went through Tesla for the repair and they messed up my interior a-pillar trim but replaced it...

    How do I remove seat bottom trim to replace the seat control switch?

    Even with the seat raised up, there's only about 1" of clearance between the screw head and that black colored bar underneath it. I've tried maneuvering some torx allen key to remove it, but then figured that once it's all the way out, it'll be hitting that bar at the bottom so it's a total no go.

    How do I remove seat bottom trim to replace the seat control switch?

    Seat is all the way forward...screw is still obstructed.

    How do I remove seat bottom trim to replace the seat control switch?

    There's a torx screw holding the front of the seat bottom trim that I have no way to access because of some mechanism in the way. How does one remove the seat bottom trim that holds the seat adjustment switch? Picture attached showing how the screw is not accessible.

    Scheduled Precondition on Sick Day

    If I charge for free at work, why would I want to pay for the preconditioning at home?

    Passenger seat adjuster switch broken. Again.

    I just got my car used a few weeks ago, and the backrest recline switch came broken. I've just put a paperclip in my center console storage bin to actuate it if I need to.

    Raised "Bumps" in Bumper Where Fastened to Vehicle

    Really odd they're still having this issue - I had the same thing when I took delivery of my 2018 (VIN 9XXX) Model 3 and they sent it to a body shop to get fixed under warranty. I do not know what caused it.

    Mobile Charger: Do I need it?

    Other than the faster charging available with the wall connector, I don't see very much benefit in it. I would rather just have a 14-50 installed at home and use the mobile connector. That gives you the flexibility to use the mobile connector anywhere.

    Cabin Air Filter

    I bought an $8 replacement filter set from Amazon and did it myself. I found the hardest part was removing the console panel. I had 4 or 5 of the plastic clips that stayed in the holes in the console, and had to remove those carefully so they wouldn't fall inside the console and be lost...

    Tesla knows MCU with eMMC Fix Still has Problems (we need NHTSA to force the fix)

    I believe the lemon law only applies if the initial occurrence of the problem happens within the 18 months or 18k miles of the warranty period.

    Nav System, Music glitchy

    These symptoms sound exactly like what I observed on my MCU1 vehicle. Service said my emmc was fine, so my only option was to upgrade to MCU2 and hope that I can get a refund if they finally recall all the MCU1's for being inadequate for the recent software.

    Issues with Homelink after Upgrade to MCU 2.0

    I'm having an issue with homelink after MCU2 upgrade as well. My issue is the opposite - after a cold start and reversing out of the garage, it won't close the garage. Here are my steps: 1) Walk into the garage and use the wall pad to open my garage door 2) Get in the car and back out. The...

    is Standby Mode draining your battery?

    I think I lost around 8% of my battery in 24 hours right after V10 was applied and the car not moved. That is a serious waste of electricity...

    Sentry Mode

    Found a really annoying bug when using sentry mode this morning. Got back into my car and that big red eye was sitting in the middle of my display. Stayed there even after I started the car and put it in both reverse and forward gears. I had to pull over and do a scroll wheel reboot to get...

    No audio bug in Model 3

    This happened to me for the first time on Sunday. Already 9k miles on my car, approx 9 months old. I'm on 2018.48.12. Trying to switch my audio source to USB just made the screen sit on the spinning circle icon for longer than I cared to wait.

    Locked Charge Port Adapter

    Locked Charge Port Adapter

    I just tested this on my own car but had a different experience. - Unplugged the j1772 and left adapter in port. - saw the car close the port but when it touched the adapter, it opened back up after a few seconds. - pressed the unlock charge port on my android Tesla app - heard the lock release...

    Locked Charge Port Adapter

    I just read that in newer firmwares, the port will unlock if the car is fully charged even if the car doors are locked

    Locked Charge Port Adapter

    Is it possible for you to make a video of what's going on in your situation? I'll return the favor and make a video of my car's behavior.

    Locked Charge Port Adapter

    I believe the port wont unlock the adapter if the car is locked. This is to prevent unauthorized disconnections when using the Tesla connector and to prevent theft of any adapters (Chademo and J1772)

    Locked Charge Port Adapter

    The correct way is to keep the button on the handle pressed until everything is completely removed from the Tesla's charge port. If you're using a J1772 adapter, keep the release button pressed and use your other hand to pull the adapter out of the Tesla while leaving the adapter and handle...

    Locked Charge Port Adapter

    I've never had this issue, but never used the car in subfreezing temperatures either. Is this strictly a cold temperature issue?

    Epidemic of Model 3 small window break-ins

    Would it be possible to get about 3/8" thick plexiglass made to the same curvature and size of the small windows and then glue them to the outside of those windows? That should help deter the break ins.

    Epidemic of Model 3 small window break-ins

    Your valuables in the trunk may be safe but the window would still get broken. The thief may also cause more damage to the car out of spite... I think it's clear that Tesla needs to be the ones to implement the fix like having the seat release accessible only from within the trunk or having a...

    Weak Homelink Range

    My home link seems spotty and not directly corresponding to range. Some times I remain stationary and have to press the home link 3 or 4 times before the garage activates. This isnt an issue with the S/X.

    Making the Model 3 trunk lid close more easily

    What I found is that if the trunk is left open for a longer period of time (1-2 min or so), it is harder to close. This effect seems to be more prevalent when the outside temperature is warmer as well.

    I'm located in the San Jose, California area and have a full set of the Model X 22" Black Turbine wheel and tire referral award for sale. I believe the set comes with TPMS. The set is waiting for me at the service center, so I can accompany the local buyer to pick it up straight from there...

    Software Update 8.1 2018.34.1

    I did notice while on AP last night that the car was much more abrupt in accelerating and slowing down when following someone else. It was not as smooth and seemed to accelerate and slow unnecessarily (the car in front remained at a relatively constant speed)

    Probably not what you want to hear, but I find % much more useful than miles as well. You could just multiply the % by 3 to get the approx miles remaining.
