Given the FSD transfer period and the $7500 tax credit, I'm thinking of trading in my 2018 LR model 3 for a new model Y LR. I drove a Y and it seems to be fine, so I'm not concerned about that, but I am a bit concerned about range. In the 5 years of owning my 3, it's been very efficient. Even...

I have 2020.36.10. UI/app tell me that 36.11 is available and has been downloaded. I try to "Install Now" and it counts down for the 2 minutes, reaches 0, and then says "Update scheduled for <time when I pressed the button>". I've tried this a few times. I also tried future-scheduling it...

I got my car in May 2018 and had a credit card setup on my account. From then until September 2019 any time I supercharged, it'd appear on the display and on the account and would charge me. In October, the card that was on my account was replaced with a new one (someone had charged some stuff...

While this is a generalization, I'd expect all in the money options to be sold at par value at the time of acquisition. Assuming a $420 price, then your $355 options would be worth $65.

Tesla should open source the media control stuff and allow people to submit pull requests. Seems like a non-critical system that the public could help to improve.

I don't have a direct answer, but broadly Bluetooth works on a services methodology. A device advertises it has "XYZ" services available. I'm not 100% sure what the streaming audio service is, but if another device advertises the same services a phone does I don't see why it wouldn't work. I'm...

As you probably already know, the front USB ports are the only one that work with a USB key for music. This "uses up" one of them as far as charging goes. I experimented and found that this cable solves the issue...

The sprayers are in the arms somewhere rather than on a hood as they traditionally are on other cars. They definitely spray differently than any other car I've owned. I've found them to be fine at low speeds, but at highway speeds despite the lack of "spray", they manage to somehow get fluid on...

I've gone from Durham to Greensboro and back. Didn't need to supercharge technically speaking, but did so anyway just to try it. Headed out to Wilmington though shortly. Will be the first "real trip" in this car. I don't think the hotel we're at has HPWC, but there's a supercharger near by.

Have you disabled power savings for the app? I did that immediately for phone key purposes, but it could contribute to notifications as well. FYI, I have a Pixel 2 as does my wife and notifications work fine.

Push the stalk as if you were going to turn them on. It'll end up in auto mode at that point.

Like it or not, Tesla will start rolling features out that will be gated to FSD. Some people will argue that these features are really EAP and complain about it. This is part of the reason I opted for FSD at the start.

I get a little chirp on a WoT from a standstill on the 18" Michelin tires, but not much. I will say if you take it into a parking lot and throw it into a really hard turn it's pretty amazing how glued it stays. You can really feel the low center of gravity due to battery weight.

Just curious as to other people's experience with auto high beams in the 3. Driving home last night on a highway the auto high beams were being what I'd describe as overly aggressive. A car would be coming the other direction and they'd turn off, but then they'd flip back on for 2 or 3 seconds...

Not a silly question at all. No weight on anything else, nor did any of the seat belt indicators show up on the display. Also to be clear, the ding continued even after the car was locked (mirrors folded in) and I was outside the car.

I got in my car this morning, fastened the seatbelt and started messing with the audio options. While trying to pick my phone, the screen sort of quick rebooted itself (not whole car reboot). During this whole time the seatbelt ding kept going despite being fastened. I got out of the car, locked...

I was an online day 1 reservation and got one, yes. As to "Tesla really didn't care about line waiters". I guess? A friend of mine stood in line in the same area I'm in and got his car 2 months earlier. Seems like that's a win?

My wife and I both have Pixel 2s and both are paired to the car. Consequently, the car shows them both as "Pixel 2" in the connected phones list. Is there a way to rename them to better distinguish which is which for when we're both in the car?

Yesterday was my first chance to play with autopilot for an extended period of time. On the whole the actual function worked pretty well. However, I had 2 hands on the wheel at all times, but still got a ton of "hold the wheel" warnings. It seemed as if a hand on the top 1/2 of the wheel didn't...

I've seen elsewhere that the Model 3 uses the motor to heat the battery and standard car climate control to cool it. I have no idea if that's actually correct or not, but those were the reports people were talking about back in December or January in the context of "this is partially why the...

Tesla called me to follow up on delivery to make sure things were ok. I mentioned this issue to them (it's happened twice to me thus far). They said they'd make a note, and that they'd heard it before. Hopefully something that can be fixed in an OTA update.

My question would be about cooling. You mentioned a carport. I haven't noticed any real battery drain in my garage where the temperature is about 85 degrees (according to app), but sitting outside at work where the cabin temperature gets above 100 degrees I noticed a 1-2% drop today over about...

I'd also like to know how the other colors have worked out for people. Trying to be a "good guy" neighbor, I was moving my current 3rd car around and managed to scrape the right rear wheel on day 2 of ownership. Not major, but I'd love to cover it up.

Agreed most of the time they're not aggressive enough. They do sometimes go nuts if there's a big buildup like after parking and getting back in. More concerning is that they don't seem to work at night? Last night it wasn't really raining, but there was a ton of water on the road from an...

Two things I can't figure out how to do on the UI. Can anyone provide insight? 1) Activate backup camera when not backing up (or after accidentally dismissing the camera while backing up) 2) Recenter the map such that the car is in the middle. I had navigation going and my car drove off the...

About 9:15 PM.

I've only owned my 3 for a few days, but to this point whenever I get in the screen has been on immediately. Tonight I came out to the car, opened the door via phone key, and...nothing. Lights and all that were on, but the screen wouldn't come on. I tapped around on it a few times, tried...

Apologies for more anecdotal reports, but it's all I have. My car was delivered on Monday with 2018.14.x. It updated overnight to 2018.18.13. I pushed it as soon as I got it and I noticed no change overnight after the update. I realize this isn't scientific, but I'm about as "pure" to the...

My DS today indicated that 2018.18.13 has the brake fix. He mentioned that it may have been related to the braking system's interpretation of the brake fluid temperature. Basically he said he believed it was limiting braking pressure to prevent fluid heat, but it was too aggressive in doing so...

Delivery went great today. I couldn't find any real panel gaps. Headlights do protrude a little, but eh... Only issue was the driver's door panel was on the wrong side of a seal near the window. 20 minute trip to service fixed that. It's been awesome since then. A real joy to drive despite the...

Bumping this to see if anyone has any insight. Taking delivery on Memorial Day, would like to just use ACH on day of delivery, but some folks on a Reddit thread are saying it's not possible. One quote from my ISA: "You are able to make your final payment by ACH or cashier’s check at delivery...

Dana reconfirmed to me that (in Raleigh at least), all they need is payment (might be different for financing I'd guess).

Ah ok, so maybe it is a Charlotte vs. Raleigh thing. I'm picking up in Raleigh. Dana ignored that part of my question to her, though was able to find earlier delivery on Monday, yay!

That's true about them not being a dealership in all of NC, but I haven't gotten any word that I need to do anything special with the paperwork. They sent a pro-forma document via email, but they didn't indicate anything else about it. I'll ask Dana my ISA I guess.

Hang on a sec. What do you mean "take care of the paperwork earlier?". I'm in NC and the only remaining step online is paying them, but they assured may day-of post-inspection of the car is ok. They did send the whole agreement /w everything filled out already, but is there something I'm missing...

This would be interesting to know for sure.

Maybe? I sort of think ABS controllers are a bit of an embedded system at this point. Not sure how much they log. I'm sure Tesla can log what sort of force is currently applied to the brake pedal, but less convinced they can log ABS decision making.

Hmm, could be. I wish you snooped VINs :) ... My delivery is setup for 5/28...I'm still a little skeptical because I feel like I'm going to get a "of course we're not open on Memorial Day" phone call on Friday or something, but hopefully not. Did the local center reach out to you yet, or all...

Given the small difference between wet and dry, a possible explanation could be that the ABS system is detecting wheel lock that's just not there and is being too conservative in dry conditions. If it were very close to an edge case, you'd get a system that sometimes produced 130-ish ft results...

My VIN is also missing, although my delivery appointment is still there as is the ability to pay Tesla. I assume this is a glitch...

I realize there's been other threads on this, but it's been a while and it seems things get a bit in flux. My ISA told me that Tesla doesn't take personal checks over $10k. They also said that ACH or bank checks are fine. I'd prefer not to deal with the hassle of a bank check in case I have to...

Yeah, Dana and I have been working through delivery dates. It's a little annoying that our service center is open until 6, but they can't do appointments after 4 (apparently). She finally offered a 5/28 (Memorial Day) appointment, so I'm scheduled for that right now. Your car might actually be...

Hey, FYI I heard from my ISA that the car will be available on 5/29. You might contact yours if you haven't heard anything similar yet.

Only my 3rd car... 1996-2000 - 1984 Camry LE (parents bought new, I got it in college) 2000-Present - 2000 Celica Gt-S 6spd - Still my present ride. I still love it, and as the first car I ever bought it's still sentimental. But 18 years is a long time and there are plenty of issues at this...

Really depends on what the marketing goal of this version is. If the goal is to have the best performing car in class, then you'll see 3s or something. But, realistically it's likely going to be more targeted at an impulse "I'm buying a 3 already and I can spend $10k more for this" type of buy...

While this topic is bumped...I ordered these on 4/11 and I've heard nary a word since. At least the car is finally on the way, but anyone got these recently?

I think all the waits are ok at the start and then get tiring at the end. Waiting 2 years for a config invite wasn't really an issue at month 21, but as people who deposited AFTER I did got config invites, that was annoying. Waiting for VIN wasn't an issue at first, but once VINs were assigned...

Interestingly, they wouldn't do that here because it's not to code. I assume code is worried that you might try to draw both at the same time.

I decided to go for an HPWC because the cost was basically only the difference of the HPWC vs. the outlet (industrial multi-cycle ready 14-50 is about $100). Main reason for me was that I would end up buying a 2nd mobile adapter anyway because it seems like a good idea to just always have one in...

BTW, very responsive Tesla rep via email. Says current ETA is "week of June 7th". June 7th is a Thursday, so not quite sure how that's week-of, but ok. If we were to hit June 8th, it'd be exactly 9 weeks from config to delivery.
