    [Autopilot disabled due to] System Failure

    I have been on 36.20 for about 1 or 2 weeks. The text from Tesla yesterday said that they are still working on a fix. Yes, I will check on the FSD beta forums like you suggested - good idea. Thank you.

    [Autopilot disabled due to] System Failure

    On a 300+ miles trip this week in MS, the AutoPilot (AP) shutdown randomly (about 5-6 times) while I was driving. It would flash warning sign to take control, plus loud alarm sound; then disengage. I first thought it was because it was not sensing my hand on the steering wheel, but that was...

    Refreshed Model S - rear seat rattle

    Yes, the invoice says: 2nd Row 60 Latch 1505383-00-D. I believe that the 60 refers to the back seat being 60:40 split, and the new part / latch is on the 60 side (behind the driver). Hope this helps.

    Refreshed Model S - rear seat rattle

    Reply to REal: The PVC tubing does not last longer than a couple weeks, even without flipping the seats. The latch 'eats' through it. Anyway, I took the model S to the SC in Houston for the third time(!!). Initially they said they would replace the rear seat back rest, however, they ended...

    Refreshed Model S - rear seat rattle

    It was the Westheimer SC. My new parts appointment is in two weeks. Fingers crossed.

    Refreshed Model S - rear seat rattle

    I too had rattle issues with the back seat. Took it to the Houston SC the first time and they put the hammer to the latch (literally - per technician). That fixed the problem for a few days and then it was back. Second trip to the same SC and the technician said they would have to order...

    Texas refuses to renew registration of Tesla M3 without emissions test

    The state of TX does not want or need and "Emissions" test for electric cars. What they need is a SAFETY inspection report. I take my M3 and MS to the local Jiffy Lube and get it done. The guys there know its and electric car so it does not need emissions testing. But, what they inspect are...

    How was your model 3 quality when you took delivery?

    Received my new P3D 2 weeks ago. Everything was perfect...at least to my eyes! Could not be more happier. It even had the spoiler attached.

    Has Any P3D+ Owners Gotten Carbon Fiber Spoiler?

    Got my new P3D just 10 days ago. It had the spoiler attached and the fit/finish was perfect (to me). Much much better than my earlier M3LR which I got a year ago in May. Only issue is that it is still on firmware 2019.7 where as the M3LR and MS are both on version 2019.16. Chatting with...

    After low ball offers by Carmax and Tesla, sold it myself - Huge Difference!

    Somewhat similar story. I wanted to trade in a 2018 M3 LR for a 2019 P3D. Tesla offered me $32,200 only! The car had 9K miles. Offered the car to Vroom (Texas Direct) and they came back with $40K. So after doing a survey on ebay I decided to sell it myself on that platform. Lucky I got a buyer...

    Performance Waiting Room

    No they did not tell me the milage when we spoke about delivery. The delivery center is 24 miles from my home. If I went to pick up the car, my wife's Model S would have an extra 48 mile on it, in addition to my M3 having 24 miles. So them delivering was better option in my opinion. Also...

    Performance Waiting Room

    UPDATE: Good news! My P3D arrived this week and she is a beauty! Got a call on Monday from Tesla that my car had arrived in Houston over the weekend and would it be okay to deliver the car to my home on Tuesday 14th? Well duh!? The delivery guy came in my car at the exact time promised - no...

    Performance Waiting Room

    Ordered a P3D+ with FSD; Red with white interior, on March 17th. Got VIN on May 7th. Since I live in Texas, had to pay off 100% before car is shipped - very powerful Auto Dealers Association controlling politicians in Austin! Anyway, payoff was done in less than 24 hours. Got confirmation...

    Any US Model 3 Performance deliveries in 2019?

    I was tempted, but then it had a "born on date" of ~March 2019, and I wanted a newer model with hardware version 3.0 installed. Those upgraded cars were manufactured starting sometime mid-April.

    Any US Model 3 Performance deliveries in 2019?

    Ordered a P3D+ with FSD; Red with white interior, on March 17th. Still no VIN. Had multiple conversations with delivery contacts and none of them had any information that was worthwhile. BTW, I ordered on 3/17 just before the price increase. Sometime around 4/12 the price dropped, so I...

    Tesla offering insurance next month

    For those interested in comparing rates, I just paid a renewal of $1,111 / 6 months to State Farm to insure a Model 3LR and a Model S75. $500 deductible. Other coverage is quite a bit more than minimum TX state mandate. Our milage "limit" for this policy was 12,000 miles/yr each car. Location...

    Model 3 Tire Pressure

    I lowered the pressure from 44psi to 39 psi, per Elon's tweet recommendation and it made a big difference in road noise reduction. Love it! Elon did say that it would impact economy, but the ride is soooo much better, I don't care. BTW, I picked up my M3 in early May'18.

    Need to select a suitable "3" trunk emblem for my 3.

    Check the emblem from Abstract Ocean. I have put it on my M3 and it looks great. Model 3 Emblems

    VIN Assignment

    This is my first posting on TMC. This is what I have experienced with the M3 ordering process. First a short background. I placed a reservation of an M3 for my wife on mothers day, May 2017. Then hurricane Harvey hit Houston and my Lexus LS was flooded/totaled. We decided to buy her a Model...
