    Pop-up Trunk Lid

    I know that there is a mod for making the Frunk open up when the Frunk release is actuated. Has anybody come up with a similar release for the trunk?

    Very high charging rate

    Drove from Long Island to Rochester, NY yesterday. Stopped an Tannersville, PA supercharger on the way and continued up to Rochester. When we reached Victor, NY (just outside Rochester) the car was down to 30 miles, so we did a "pit stop" When I plugged into the charger, it quickly jumped up...

    Change in Summon

    Using Summon on my M3 has always been a little touchy. It doesn't always start right away. Usually takes a couple of minutes before it gets going. But, in the last couple of days it's operation has changed. By the way, I'm currently running Firmware Ver. 2018 32.2. I was using the homelink...

    QUIBBLES

    All three mirrors are much too small. The horn requires a heavy handed touch, making it difficult and unreliable to use.

    What is the normal battery usage for the M3 LR

    Just recently took delivery on my Model 3. I've only put 500 miles on it so far. We Drove from home base (Melville, NY) to Paramus NJ yesterday, a distance of ~46 miles. For the first time, I zeroed out the odometer before the trip to see what the battery usage was. The results were: 95...

    Name - address list

    All of my previous auto nav systems both built into the car and Garmin portable units had the ability to accept names and addresses so that I could say "navigate to Sam Smith's home". Names are easier to remember than street addresses. There doesn't seem to be any way to note any information...

    Road noise caused by roof seams

    I heard that a fair amount of noise at speeds (over 60) is caused by the flex seal between the top of the car and the front section of the glass roof. There is a rubber seal kit that being sold that is supposed to stop this. Has anybody it? Does it work? Thanks

    Using Summon

    I've had my Model 3 for 11 days now. I've set up all of the various interfaces and they are working very well. I usually park the car in my garage. Its a little tight (I have a lot of "stuff"). So - I fold the mirrors before I pull in. When I'm ready to back out, it's a little touch and go...

    Safety Feature Request

    I was surprised to find that the M3 does not have a backup warning if a vehicle or pedestrian is approaching in the rear. My 2016 Toyota has this and it's a well documented safety feature in most mid-range car brands. How about it, Tesla?

    Musical updates :-)

    I keep seeing updates going as high as 2108.26.1. My software level has been 2018.24.7 since delivery on 07-17-2018. This morning the car downloaded new software update 2018.24.8. I can't really see an difference between 24.7 and 24.8. So, does anybody know if there are any differences...

    Car wash settings

    Sorry if this has been covered before. The search function isn't great. What are the correct settings for going thru and automatic car wash?

    How does the heater work?

    Does the Model 3 use a resistance heater or a heat pump to heat the car in the winter?

    Any way to tell date of manufacture from VIN?

    I placed my reservation on 6/24/2018 and paid the $2500.00 payment on 6/28/2018. I received a VIN ending 026XXX on the 28th (I don't know why nobody ever enters the last 3 digits, but "when in Rome") My question is: Can date of manufacture be determined by the last 6 digits of the VIN...
