    Just saw a brand new one...

    Maybe going to Fremont for final touches... or maybe being delivered to Pepsi. It had protective films over the lights. Maybe they don't want to drive customer semis long distances for delivery.

    Just saw a brand new one...

    Saw this three days ago. probably fresh out of the Nevada factory.

    The Korean satellite on this mission is doing a lunar orbit.... so maybe a clue there.

    It works if I use my phone. Seems to still generate the error on PC.

    I got the email as well, although the link in the email currently leads to a 404 error.

    Steering column doesn't move after software update

    I think you just need to get the year range right: https://www.ebay.com/itm/303893406082?hash=item46c1756182:g:suwAAOSw8b1gMU58

    Steering column doesn't move after software update

    They are usually under $200 on Ebay and don't look that hard to replace for the mechanically inclined.

    Model 3 Delivery with AMD Ryzen [if you received one please post here]

    So the correct answer is... we simply do not know yet. I do take him seriously, but only as far as he warns that it *may* be problematic (just as tapping the old 12V may have been problematic before it was discovered that it was not). Eventually someone (not me) will find out for sure.

    Model 3 Delivery with AMD Ryzen [if you received one please post here]

    Hmmm... He definitely sounds like he knows his stuff, but I wonder about his point in this case. It seems to me the same issue would have existed with the previous lead acid battery, but I never had any problem tapping that directly. I powered my refrigerator for hours during an outage and the...

    Model 3 Delivery with AMD Ryzen [if you received one please post here]

    Also wanted to add... the lithium 12V (actually 15.5V) battery has a different connector, so the battery posts are not exposed. People had expressed concern that this would not allow connection of an inverter (for those who have them). The good news is... there is a large positive post with a...

    Model 3 Delivery with AMD Ryzen [if you received one please post here]

    Wanted to add that my delivery also has the lithium battery and matrix headlights. I'm guessing most/all of the others listed here do as well. To test for matrix headlights, run the "Lightshow" and the headlights should project the word "Tesla" onto whatever surface is in front of the car.

    AMD Ryzen & 12v Batteries now shipping in US Y & 3!!

    Your SA is wrong. People have received Model 3s with AMD CPUs. Your's may jot have it with such a low VIN (compared to those seeing 16xxxx VINs).

    AMD Ryzen & 12v Batteries now shipping in US Y & 3!!

    I believe the Li-ion battery is higher voltage (about 15.5V), so, since the car's systems must be able to monitor voltage in order to keep the small battery charged, the car should be able to identify the battery. .... oops. Replies before seeing several others have said this.

    Some 2022 Model Ys shipping with MCU3 (AMD Ryzen)

    This is the fault of the state of Michigan, not the fault of Tesla.

    Changes from Concept to Production

    I remember reading an article which showed two recent Y prototypes that had different hatch openings. Found it (attached).

    X/Y size comparison

    These images are both from the Tesla website. I very carefully sized the images so that the wheels exactly matched 20" for the Y and 22" for the X. I then set the position so that the front wheels are lined up and the tires are on the "ground" at the same spot. I think this is probably pretty...

    Good idea. I just made one and will start a new thread.

    Lowering the Model 3

    Sorry, but no. Negative camber can be beneficial to track performance... to a point. There is such a thing as too much. The idea is to keep the tire tread on the road surface during cornering. Too much negative camber, and the outside tire is leaning on its inside edge. As for stretched...

    What changes to production Cybertruck ?

    Oh no... now it's a 1st gen Chevy Volt.

    Considering Model 3 or Prius prime limited

    I believe the (real) base model of the Model 3 (SR, not SR+) is actually around $35,450 before tax. You just need to ask for it in person.

    MASTER THREAD: 2019.36.2.1 - new HOLD mode and other features

    That certainly was not the case with our car. Was set to "Roll" after the update. I then manually changed it to "Hold".

    MASTER THREAD: 2019.36.2.1 - new HOLD mode and other features

    Even not considering previous experience with manual transmissions... I don't want the motor turning the wheels unless I press the accelerator. Gravity is another thing entirely.

    MASTER THREAD: 2019.36.2.1 - new HOLD mode and other features

    Having driven manual transmission cars for most of my life, Creep just isn't for me. I want the car to do only what I ask it to do with the accelerator pedal. No press, no go. Also, I don't see how a combination of Creep and Hold would work. You are approaching a red light... so you lift off...

    This is why Sentry Mode rocks

    Windows systems have an extremely wide variety of different hardware setups with drivers provided and supported by 100s of different companies. Tesla's system is a walled garden. More comparable to Apple if you want to go there.

    This is why Sentry Mode rocks

    If it was software you wouldn't have people with the same software as each other both having and not having the issue. Bottom line... solving technical problems is often more complex than you are making it out to be.

    FS: Various Aero wheels and Aero caps for Model 3

    I no longer have a full set of these, so they are now available individually. I have three 18" Aero wheels available. Two have tires and one does not. I can have the tires removed if needed. All three have some curb rash as pictured. I also have two full sets of Aero caps in very nice...

    Set of four 18" Aero wheels with tires for Model 3

    The wheel without a tire isn't the near-perfect one though.

    Set of four 18" Aero wheels with tires for Model 3

    Shipping costs can be calculated on the Fedex and UPS websites. They would be coming from Sacramento, California.

    Set of four 18" Aero wheels with tires for Model 3

    At the moment, the only wheel I'd sell separately would be the one without a tire (trying to keep the set of four together for now). That may change if there are no buyers for the set.

    Touch screen control for wipers is dangerous

    No. You may have missed the reply where this was answered. Wiper fluid is sprayed only if you press past the first detent.

    LH Outer Door Handle for Model 3

    This door handle fits either of the driver's side doors. It works perfectly. There is a crack in the plastic, but it is not visible with the handle installed, and does not affect operation or mounting. Make me an offer.

    Set of four 18" Aero wheels with tires for Model 3

    Bump. I will accept any reasonable offer. Use these as a set of spares for use with winter tires or track tires.

    Model 3 was towed and damaged with Sentry videos

    I wonder if you could fault the towing company for negligently ignoring the Tesla requirement that all of their cars require a flatbed tow?

    SR+ limited regen - is this normal?

    Just a guess... but the SR+ may have less buffer than the LR. You didn't say at what percentage you are seeing full regen return.

    Collision Damage & Tesla Service Center

    Can you post pics? Our Model 3 was sideswiped and the left rear door and quarter panel were damaged. The body shop was able to repair the quarter panel without replacing it.
