I started getting the above error in my car. I sent to schedule service and the app let me set this up for a mobile tech. But when I was contacted by a service rep, they said this would need to be done at a service center. Unfortunately that's a 1.5 hr drive each way for me and it's hard to...

I just did my seasonal tire swap and took the winter tires off and put the summer tires on. This is not a question about relative power consumption between the two sets. Rather, I noticed that since doing the swap, the trip meter and the power consumption chart don't match. Normally (I think)...

I came to a 2022 M3LR from a 2018 M3LR. One of the big differences is the M3 now has a heat pump. Currently it's pretty cold here, it's been between 5 and 15 degrees while I've been out. I'm surprised at how loud the heat pump is, particularly when I'm standing still, but it's also loud...

I recently got my 2022 M3 after selling my 2018 M3. I feel like both the auto wipers and the auto high beams are dramatically worse in this car than the previous one. In the 2022, the high beams stay on way longer than I'm comfortable with, whereas I was always quite happy with how they were...

I'm going to be driving about 4 hrs to my nearest delivery center in the next week or two to pick up my M3LR. When I got my first M3 in 2018, Tesla covered my rental car and a hotel room to go pick up the car. Anyone know if they're still doing that?

I'm working through the "paperwork" on the tesla site for the order I placed, and I got approval for 2.49% through US Bank. Before I hit the button to commit to using US Bank, I wanted to make sure that people typically have been having good experiences with this bank. I don't expect much...

Looking at upgrading from my 2018 RWD LR to a new dual motor LR. I know there are some differences, but I want to know what else I'm missing. Removed since 2018 - premium connectivity - lumbar support - radar - wired phone charger - free homelink Added since 2018 - power trunk lid - no more...

I know that in 44.10 they updated the spotify and audio interface in general. However since that update, I can't seem to search by artist. If I enter a search, the results list out playlists, podcasts, songs, but not artist. So I can't select the artist I want to hear their music...

On my RWD M3, I noticed that I can hear the brakes on the front of the car dragging a bit. I took a look and there's a clear difference on the rotors as a result of this. I'm sure it's nothing serious, and just that the pads are dragging a bit so they just need to be cleaned up a bit. But I'm...

I currently have 2 sets of wheels, one with winter tires, and one with summer tires. I want to swap the tires and wheels so that I can have the winter wheels with the summer tires on them and vice versa. I'd rather not have the local tire shop jack up the tesla, so the easiest way for me to do...

First, to give some of my background, prior to my Model3 I had a WRX and I ran Hankook Ventus V12 Evo tires on it for the summer and was a big fan. I found the traction was good, they lasted a respectable number of miles, and the price was good. I now have had my model 3 for coming on 2 years...

So far I am loving the one pedal driving mode that is now available. But this weekend I noticed something interesting. My car had been outside all night in the cold, and when I got in to drive there was literally no regen since the battery was all cold. So driving along at normal speeds would...

I need to get my driver side headlight adjusted, as it is clearly pointing too high. The nearest service center is 2.5 hrs away, so I'd like to get this addressed by mobile service. No matter what I try, I can't make a mobile appointment through the app, it only allows me to choose from the...

For a while now, maybe the past 3 months, I've found that when viewing SentryCam files, they play fine, but if I try to jump to a different point in the file, instead the file just jumps directly to the end. Whatever is causing this issue also keeps any of the website used to easily view the...

I've noticed for a while that all of my files from teslaCam are corrupt in the sense that I can start playback of a file in windows media player, but I can't jump to a different point in the file. If I let it play it is fine, but if I click a new point to jump to, it just jumps right to the...

'Fallout Shelter' is coming to Tesla cars Seems pretty interesting, especially the netflix portion. Has this been mentioned before by Tesla or is this the first "confirmation"?

About 2 days ago I swapped my winter wheels for summer wheels (stock 18" aeros). I went out for a drive and after a few miles it recognized the new TMPS sensors and started giving me valid pressures for the new tires. I drove it for 2 days with no problems. Then today I am driving to work and...

I have an annoying high pitched whine that sounds like it's coming from the front of my RWD M3. It's not loud at all, but it's at just the right high pitched frequency that I find it annoying. It's almost like a transmission gear whine, and I can hear it if I'm accelerating, or decelerating...

I just switched from a Google Pixel to an Essential Phone PH-1. I had no issues setting the PH-1 as a new key, and no issues connecting to bluetooth. I have no problems playing music over bluetooth, but when I try to make a call, I hear a series of maybe 6 rapid clicks, and then it's silent...

I got a set of wheels and winter tires from tirerack. They included aluminum centering rings with the wheels. They told me that the part number for the rings are AL641, which I assume means they have a 64.1mm center bore. And that matches what I would expect as that is the hub size of the M3...

Someone at work has some lightly used X-Ice3 tires for sale in size 245/40-18. I know that's a little different than the stock 235/45-18 (2.3% difference in diameter) so that'll impact the speed accuracy, but would I have any fitment issues putting these on some aftermarket 18x8 wheels and using...

I know the offset for the stock wheels is 40mm. I'm looking at some aftermarket wheels for winter tires that have a 35mm offset. Is that close enough to not have an impact on fit or appearance?

I know that there are other charging routine questions, but I wasn't sure if my situation is unique at all. I have a 14-50 NEMA plug in my garage, but I can also charge at work. At work, they just charge me a flat rate of $12/month regardless of what I consume. I have the charge limit set to...

So I know i can get another set of 18" aero wheels with winter tires from Tesla for $2k. Or I can go to TireRack, and get a good winter tire mounted on a cheap allow wheel and TPMS sensors for around $1500 shipped. Is there any reason I should pay the 25% extra for the Tesla ones?

I am in upstate NY and was wondering if I drive up into canada, does the M3 cell connection still work? It would be a nasty surprise to find out the answer is no if I was counting on it for navigation from one charger to the next.

I have PPF installed on my car, full front bumper, mirrors, and partial hood and fenders. I thought that it is beneficial to install the ceramic coating on the PPF too, but the Crystal serum light instructions say to avoid the PPF. So should I apply it to that or not? If yes, how do I deal...

I received my car on June 29th, and yesterday I got the registration in the mail via overnight delivery from Tesla. I noticed that the registration was only good until December 2018. I thought registrations were always good for 2 years, and I was curious if other people were receiving...

On my drive to and from work, my first few roads have no lines on them. I've found that in fairly repeatable locations, the lane departure warning will activate even though I'm in a perfectly acceptable location on the road. Looking at the display, it doesn't show any perceived lane for the...

I picked up my M3 about 3 weeks ago. At delivery, I noticed that one of my headlights wasn't as aligned with the fender panel as the other one. I pointed it out, they took some measurements, and agreed that it was out of spec. They said the headlight doesn't move, instead they would have to...

I was curious what the expected unlocking behavior is of the M3. If I haven't driven the car in a while, so the car is in a deep sleep, and I walk up to the car with my phone in my pocket, should it unlock immediately as soon as I push on the handle? Or in that case will it take a 10-20...

I'm looking to purchase a DIY ceramic coating for my M3, and I'm leaning towards Gyeon. There seem to be quite a few ceramic coating products from Gyeon, so I was looking for some input on which to choose. I've been detailing my own cars for years, but I've never done any coatings before...

I'm planning on doing a DIY ceramic coating on my M3 shortly. What is recommended on the glass roof? Maybe just a glass coating like G Techniq G1?

I've had my car since 6/29, and it came with 2018.18.13. It's been almost 2 weeks, and I keep seeing threads about new builds rolling out, but I haven't gotten a prompt to update. Is this typical or should I have gotten an update by now? Does anything influence when you get the update? Like...

I installed a 240v line using 6 gauge wire and a 50 amp breaker. When I plug in the mobile charger using the NEMA 14-50 adapter, the car says it is charging at 32 amps and gaining 13 mi/hr. I though I'd be getting a much higher charging rate, is something wrong?

If I have the car set up to auto open the garage door when I get home, what happens if the door is already open? Does the car somehow know that, or does it close the door instead of opening it?

I just picked up my M3 today, and I have a google pixel. It is paired to the car, and I'm able to stream music without issues. When I try to make a call, the car is aware because it pauses the music, and allows me to control the call (ie, hang up) through the touch screen. But the audio only...

I'm planning on getting PPF installed on the front of my car about a week and a half after I get the car. (earliest appointment they had). I live in NYS so I need a front license plate, and will probably just use the included front plate mount from Tesla. I assume that it would be best for me...

I'm under 7 days away from my delivery, so now when I check my account I have the option to pay the balance on the car. Is there any reason to do this electronically, as opposed to just bringing a cashier's check when I pick it up? I feel like I'd rather not pay in advance just in case there's...

Like the title says, if I leave the keycard in my wallet, can I just hold the wallet to the b-pillar to unlock the car? Will it read it through the wallet?

If I'm ever working on a car, like doing a brake job or whatever, I jack the car up with a floor jack, and then put it on jackstands so it is safe. With the M3, there are just 4 specific jack points. So if I use a jackpoint to raise up one corner of the car, how can I then transfer that point...

I recently sold my car in anticipation of my Tesla coming in July (based on the emails that went out yesterday). Here in NY, the current plates are an ugly yellow/orange, but the plates from the car is sold are the old version of blue and white. Since I'm getting a red M3, I feel like the old...

So I get that Tesla decided to remove VINs from our accounts until closer to delivery. That does make it harder to track when i'm getting closer to a delivery. But I noticed on Troy's tracking sheet that the "Deliveries" tab shows only one reported delivery between June 10th and today. Seems...

I don't have my M3 yet, but I've seen in the manual, and seen it discussed here, how you have to push down in just the right spot on the frunk when closing it as to not damage or crease the hood. Is it really that fragile? I could certainly see my wife not paying particular attention to how...

I've always been someone that believes everyone should be able to at least change a tire on their car. I realize that the M3 doesn't come with a spare, or runflats, or even a can of fix-a-flat. So what does Tesla expect you to do if you get a flat tire? I know that roadside assistance is...

If I don't get EAP on my car, what driving assists do remain as standard? I see there is front/side collision warning, and AEB. But what about lane departure warning, or lane keeping assist? Does that exist on the tesla? I'm pretty sure TACC isn't available without EAP, which is a shame.

I remember when Elon first showed the original prototype of the M3 years ago, there was tons of speculation about the 15" screen, and how it must be a prototype because it was just sticking out of the dash and not integrated at all. As we now know, that was the final design and stuck around...

In my current car, I have a separate set of wheels with winter tires on them, and I switch them back and forth myself with the seasons. But the winter wheels don't have TPMS sensors, so I just deal with the TPMS light being on through the winter. The only impact on that car (Honda Odyssey) is...

I just got my invite to configure, and I'm debating if I want to wait for AWD. I live in upstate NY so I have to deal with some serious snow when driving several times throughout the winter. Is there any information or assumptions about once AWD is available, will it be simply available as an...

I understand the tax credit doesn't come until next year's taxes, so when I finance the car, I have to calculate payments without factoring that "discount" in. I'm going to use 100% fake number to make the question more clear. Here's my question: Say I buy the car now, but get the credit in a...

I'm anxiously awaiting my Model 3, and live in Syracuse NY. For me, the nearest dealership is roughly 4 hours away downstate near NYC. I assume that with the plans to mass-market the Model 3, Tesla is going to have to expand its dealership footprint. Does anyone know what the timeline is, or...
