    Reduced price Autopilot & FSD for existing owners announced March 1st

    Umm it’s not a subscription service so the duration I use it has nothing to do with it.

    Reduced price Autopilot & FSD for existing owners announced March 1st

    Wait, so people that didn’t support you in buying EAP early and didn’t participate in being guinea pigs to the beta software get to enjoy the whole EAP + FSD package for 5k at the expense of people that were early adopters and spent time beta testing and providing feedback that now have to pay...

    Did the Mid-range and Long-range prices dropped $2900??

    Very smartly played by Elon. It’s really a matter of how you look at the numbers, I’m really only seeing a 1k odd difference net in my case which can be negated or even turned around depending on how you see it. Allow me to explain: I paid $55,000 for my black RWD LR PUP EAP including the $1000...

    Model 3 Software Updates

    Just updated to 39.7 (VIN 17xxx) which took about 20 minutes only. Definitely rolling out to cars connected to WiFi first - I only connected mine after I returned from work this evening and the car wouldn’t go to sleep. I watched my router serve the download and sure enough, got notified about...

    Software Update 2018.39.x (Version 9)

    How do you lot keep your car connected to wifi? Looking at my router logs, mine seems to disconnect usually in 7 minutes, more often than not. There are some instances when it has stayed on for up to 20 mins but rarely more. This morning at 3 AM, out of sheer desperation and lack of sleep, I sat...

    Text message model 3

    Fair enough. There are some other valid points in the article I linked however. Thanks for sharing - I am all for it.

    Text message model 3

    Agreed, but if they "read" the text on the tiny screen of the phone and got into an accident, that is not on Tesla. Carplay and Andriod auto also require, in their current implementation, taking up your whole screen while being physically plugged in to your phone. Teslatap had done an in-depth...

    Text message model 3

    Well.. as much as I, personally, would love to see Carplay integrated into the Model 3, Tesla has been in the news plenty with a lot of undue attention due to some recent autopilot-induced accidents, more than anything due to the misuse (intentional and unintentional) of the autopilot system...

    Text message model 3

    No such interface right now - there is no integration yet with carplay or android auto, which would be nice I think and could flow well with the Apple-isque UI of the vehicle, but it may be a safety consideration though, which is why they have intentionally left it off for now.

    Small dent, fixable?

    No paint damage and dent looks fairly minor - should be fixable. Paint less dent repair shops do this all the time. Also seems like an easy location to fix right above the wheel well.

    This is one expensive little bugger ...

    Weird, we have a very similar taste in automobiles but in my case, my almost-6 year old Q5 is $1200 to insure for the year and the brand new Model 3 is 50% cheaper at $800 a year. I also have a Porsche Boxster on my policy at $800 a year. Full coverage with collision on all. My policy is up for...

    Wishlist - Autopilot usage statistics

    I wish there was a way to pull up usage statistics for autopilot vs manual driving. I am sure the data is available but it would be cool to be able to see what percentage of driving an owner spends using autopilot. I have not thought about it too much but the only negative implication I can...

    Software update v8.1 2018.32.2

    I got the update notification around 4.30 AM as well task morning and kicked it off at 6.30 AM. I can’t wait for v9 to come any sooner at this point.

    2018.26.3 be4b11e update

    I got a notification around midnight as well for 26.3 and actually went to the car and installed it around 1 AM since the last time I got a notification and went out after a few hours, there was no update. More than likely, they had probably pulled it due to a bug the last time but nevertheless...

    Getting EV'd at Superchargers

    Supercharger Idle Fee Read the answers to the FAQ's underneath. That is what I deciphered from their language. It does not say if it will warn you if a charger gets 50% full after you arrive. I'm sure it will be proven by someone eventually though.

    Or maybe they are from NJ and expect someone to plug them in :p

    Getting EV'd at Superchargers

    They enforced that in the simplest and best way they could in my opinion because some people may not be as thoughtful and you may be on the receiving end one day. You don't get with fees when the stalls are half empty. You only get hit with fees if the stalls are at least 50% or more occupied...

    Fluid leaking from under car

    Well, although is it humid, the garage is probably no higher than low 80s through the warmest time of the day - concrete walls keep it cooler actually. Also, I noticed for the last two days, the interior temperature does not go over the low 80s mark either and when we discovered the fluids, it...

    What is the one thing you really hate about Model 3?

    Apart from design choices that, well, no manufacturer is going to get a 100% right ever since every owner will have a slightly different perspective and needs based on geography/climate/personal tolerances/etc, I think the most important missing feature in my opinion is true blind spot...

    Fluid leaking from under car

    Ha- good to hear that nothing turned up in your case. Do you happen to know what it is specifically that those different areas drain from? Upon further inspection last evening, mine seemed to be draining from the same exact two areas too.

    Fluid leaking from under car

    lol true, relatively speaking I guess :p I was quoting my mother in law but honestly, I have never seen this much fluid drip from any other car I’ve ever owned (for any good reason). Then again, I’ve never owned a Tesla :D

    Fluid leaking from under car

    Yes, that is a logical deduction and I’m going to monitor the trend of interior temperatures throughout the day to see if I can confirm that. I have also created a ticket with an SC to call me back since they apparently have access to the car logs and can probably tell what exactly happened. I...

    Fluid leaking from under car

    I am based in Nj and it has been a little humid the last week but I should have clarified that I’m on 21.9 still and don’t yet have cabin overheat protection. I did record the car temperature was 88 degrees when I noticed the fluid/reduced range so I’m going to keep an eye on the interior...

    Fluid leaking from under car

    Some background - My wife and I both drove our cars last weekend to visit her parents and we were going elsewhere before returning home so we decided to leave one of the cars in their garage to not have to drive both cars around, that would be my Model 3 and this was last Sunday. Story begins...

    Software update - 2018.26.1

    Did you click the settings cog on the top right for the lock confirmation and cabin overheat protection? They are not on the default landing page that you are looking on. Look at the image in the release notes closer to understand. Lack of Summons is known on Canadian models. Sorry.

    My Model 3 niggles. One week on

    Wait, are you saying the software does not apply friction brakes at all ever? Or do you mean at low speeds only once regen has faded out? I thought I read somewhere that it does apply brakes when it needs to decelerate quickly in traffic or come to a stop quickly on TACC. Is that not the case?

    Model 3 Supercharging

    You just got lucky - certain superchargers are known to not charge yet - They will eventually.

    Tesla UMC -Motownbolla209

    Is this gen 1 that can charge at 40 Amp?

    What was your maximum charge rate at a supercharger?

    Yes - I see your point and it is valid from a consumers point of view. Theoretically, a better way is to express it in a smaller more realistic unit of time, like minutes, since the rate of charge fluctuates in minutes. So instead of 480 mi/hr, it would have been 8 mi/min. I think the reason...

    What was your maximum charge rate at a supercharger?

    Seems to be confusion around the concept of instantaneous rate of change vs an average rate of charge - I believe the display in the Tesla shows you a rate-based measurement for that point in time so it is the former. I equate it to be just like your speedometer reading mi/hr. You could be on a...

    What was your maximum charge rate at a supercharger?

    It was definitely a Gen2 (120kw) and I have charged at other superchargers before a couple times and didn’t get close to this but I think there are a flurry of factors that dictate how fast it charges - SOC, number of cars sharing the stations, outside temperature, battery pack temperature...

    GPS thinks it is in another state

    Normal. Mine did not reset after 100 miles but don't worry, it takes a day or so, I did a couple resets and that seemed to have fixed it I think, but it definitely takes longer than they claim it will.

    Summons and Autopark

    Apparently it also turns the wheels to avoid any obstacles steer it into the spot - I didn't think it did that either but I follow a youtube vlogger called iTesla who just published a video demonstrating this on 24.7.

    What was your maximum charge rate at a supercharger?

    490 mi/hr on a road trip last weekend. It was fluctuating between 118/119 kW. I started with 25% SOC and went up to 85-90% SOC in around 30 mins. Surprisingly much quicker than I expected even though the car estimated one hour at about 50% SOC. I had to leave the restaurant barely after ordering...

    Model 3 Software Updates

    I was told by Tesla support that they are no longer rolling out v24 full scale, but instead are working hard at putting the wraps on v26 and getting that out. They confirmed some details that the Bluetooth echo on voice calls and the shadow braking will also improve in the new release and that...

    First road trip tomorrow! Family is excited to be using the 3, not the ICE van

    Did they ever push that software update to you that you were waiting for it will you just have it done at service? I also am having some software issues and was promised an update within 24-48 hours over the phone but am yet to receive anything. Sorry to hear about your troubles, I’m sure they...

    Delivery and Registration question

    Since you haven’t been assigned a VIN, it’s probably even less of an impact to the process. For comparison, I was already assigned a VIN for delivery in a different state and switched it to NJ and did not really have any problems with delivery/registration. You would have to call. I had been...

    Tesla App Stuck in “Waking Up” mode

    I concur with the advice above. I have had it happen to me as well and logging out and back in fixes it. I believe I had very similar symptoms that when I was close to the car and opened the door, it would connect right away but if I was at work or elsewhere, it would be stuck at “waking up”.

    Known working voice commands?

    Do the voice commands for navigation not work with favorites? I ahve "Mom and Dad" saved as a favorite address and when I say "Navigate to Mom and Dad", it looks for restaurants and several other businesses that contain that name but does not bring up the favorite as an option even. Anyone else...

    Bluetooth Music

    Hmm every car that I’ve ever owned has taken the phone volume into regard when using Bluetooth to stream music. Not just cars, as far as I can remember, Bluetooth speakers and most other devices behave the same way. The reason I know this is the I will usually keep the Bluetooth speaker volume...

    How many cars do you think are stock piled right now?

    VINs are upto 50k or close now (not keeping close track but roundabout) and they couldn’t have delivered more than 20k cars since they had to stay under 200k and given their production rate in the last 4-6 weeks, I would guess about 20-25k cars at least. Some of those could be sin transit for...

    Rear Door Sill plate/protection?

    Seems like it still leaves a small section exposed to shoe scrapes but better than nothing I guess. PPF on that entire area is probably the best solution as proposed above by @Paik4Life

    Home made license Bracket under $10

    How well does this hold up on the highway and will it stick through weather events like heavy rain and snow(weight)? With anything making elongated contact with the paint, you probably risk some damage unless you remove/clean it on a regular basis but I personally think this solution meets all...

    Rear Door Sill plate/protection?

    My kids climb in and out and I am already starting to see scratches on the rear sill paint. IMHO Tesla should have put sill plates on the rear too, I think most other cars I have owned had them, especially with the premium upgrades. I have not seen many third party options either. The only...
