    Ear pain/Pressure help

    For everyone that has this issue, does your closed trunk hatch shake visibly when you slam the doors? Mine does, and I suspect the source of this issue is because my trunk hatch is shaking whenever it goes over a crack/bump on the road and acting like a giant subwoofer and creating large amounts...

    Is the 2018/2019 Model 3 idle fan supposed to be loud?

    I have both a 2018 and 2019 Model 3, and I just got a 2024 Model Y. I noticed the HVAC fan noise on idle is much quieter on the 2024 Y, it's barely audible. But both my 2018/2019 Model 3's have a noticeable idle HVAC fan noise no matter how low the fan settings are. I can't remember if my Model...

    Tesla reneged on 2 years of free supercharging, how to follow up?

    I don't, they did not give any reasoning besides miscommunication, but it was clear I was eligible just like everyone else who bought during that time. I only had 1 deviation item, which was the 19" wheels. I will start the arbitration process and see what comes out of it. Any tips on arbitration?

    Tesla reneged on 2 years of free supercharging, how to follow up?

    This is an issue from back in 2019 that I didn't get a resolution on and dropped due to time, but now I'm determined to correct this injustice. I bought a M3P in Sep 2019 where Tesla was offering 2 years of free Supercharging...

    Finally, backup cameras are smooth in the 2023 Holiday Update!

    Yes I have multiple MCU2 Tesla's and the backup cam improved immensely with the holiday update. The difference is massive.

    Finally, backup cameras are smooth in the 2023 Holiday Update!

    You mention the dashcam player is dog slow. Are you on the 2023.44 holiday update? If you are, and it is still slow, then it very likely means Tesla is only giving this hardware accelerated video feature to a percentage of users (which will expand with time). That would make sense, as that's...

    Finally, backup cameras are smooth in the 2023 Holiday Update!

    OK so I did more driving and I did notice occasional dropped frames sometimes, which is unfortunate that this problem still exists and I have no idea why. The frame rate is always smooth though, which is great and a lot better than before. I've never seen anything close to 1 second delays in any...

    Finally, backup cameras are smooth in the 2023 Holiday Update!

    I wish I could get access to see the CPU usage on a Tesla, so I can only speculate, but I would imagine it is substantial, in the range of 50%. I actually tried playing dashcam videos on a Intel Core i5-4258U, which is a dual core at 2.4GHz (turbo to 2.9GHz), which is roughly the same total...

    Camera stuttering after MCU2 upgrade - software or hardware issue?

    A little late, but here's why you're experiencing this issue, and it's fixed in the current 2023 holiday update https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/finally-backup-cameras-are-smooth-in-the-2023-holiday-update.318754/

    Finally, backup cameras are smooth in the 2023 Holiday Update!

    As a frame rate junky that loves smoothness, this is something I wanted for a long, long time. Tesla finally implemented hardware video decoding on MCU2 with the 2023 holiday update! This has lots of benefits that I'm going to geek out about. Because of this, all 3 cameras in the backup camera...

    What battery cells are in the 2023 M3 LR?

    Thank you. Interesting. That's a 7% reduction in range (358 vs 333) for a 4% reduction in capacity (79 vs 82). Do we know why there's this discrepancy?

    Model 3 year over year changelog

    Due to confusion on timelines (as originally this is a crude list that I made for myself), I added timelines on when the changes were made to better clarify things. Hopefully this will reduce confusion and make this more usable.

    Model 3 year over year changelog

    Could you point out the mistakes? There are some changes that might seem like they're under the wrong year, like the long list of "2021 refresh" changes, but that 2021 refresh started delivery in Q4 2020, so I count that as a change made in 2020.

    Model 3 year over year changelog

    Is there a changelog for all the hardware changes in the Model 3 over the years? I can't seem to find one. I made my own, but I haven't gotten everything for the Highland refresh. If we don't, we as a community should make a list of all changes that has happened, along with a list of references...

    FSD beta visualizations smoother on MCU3?

    For people who are curious. I did more research. No, it isn't smoother on MCU3. The lagginess is due to software, not hardware being too slow to run it smoothly. On a good note, various aspects of the FSD visualizations got much smoother after the 2022 Christmas update on MCU2, further...

    FSD beta visualizations smoother on MCU3?

    I'm curious, for people with both MCU2 and MCU3 FSD beta cars, is the FSD beta visualization smoother on MCU3? It's quite laggy on MCU2 and I'm wondering if it is better on MCU3. Thanks

    Tesla wants $2700 for safety restraint fault repair? Seems excessive

    I got the car back, and the problem went away by itself. I did dry the car out with the windows open for 2 days while it is sitting at the service center. Service was very kind to goodwill the labor for diagnostics as I technically had to pay it because it was out of warranty. I hope this issue...

    Tesla wants $2700 for safety restraint fault repair? Seems excessive

    I had the issue on the way to the service center for a different issue, so I didn't get a chance to wait for it to dry out since I thought it's perfect timing to get service to look at it. I'll see if I can get the car back and delay the seat replacement to see if the problem would go away by...

    Tesla wants $2700 for safety restraint fault repair? Seems excessive

    Due to a water spill, I got a front passenger safety restraint system fault and I took it to the service center. They said the whole seat has to be replaced and it won't be under warranty. I looked online and it seems like everyone got this fixed under warranty from either sensor replacement or...

    Is this loose rubbery thing a problem?

    I don't even know how to describe this. But this rubbery thing underneath the car is drooping a bit. It happens on both sides of the car. I have another model 3 that doesn't have this problem. Does anyone know anything about this? Tesla wants to charge me $100 just to take a look at the problem...

    Jump to new does not seem to be correct

    Jump to new does not seem to be correct

    I've really liked using the "Jump to new" button to keep up with threads across multiple computers. However, this doesn't seem to be working. The "Jump to new" button would jump me 10 pages ahead of where I should be. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Hi Danny I'm talking about at the bottom of each post, there are reactions by other users of that post. In the old TMC, each of the 6 types of reactions are clearly separated, this way we can see if the post is mostly rated funny, or like, or informative, etc. Now, we can only see the 3...

    I believe the variance we are seeing in the features and ranges across the different models and trims is the result of large scale manufacturing difficulties and risk management.

    AC odor removal and cleaning

    Anyone willing to sell their Day 1 Model Y reservation?

    Does anyone want to sell their Day 1 Model Y reservation? I reserved mine a month after the announcement, and I'll likely get mine months after a day 1 reservation holder. I now realize I want the Model Y ASAP, even if it means dealing with the early problems. If you have a day 1 reservation...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Agreed. Well technically they offered a demo car to me. It still does 0-60 in 3.2 seconds, but it does not come with the 20" wheels, the bigger Brembo brakes, the carbon fiber spoiler, and performance pedals. Basically, a AWD that does 0-60 in 3.2. This used to be a $5000 option when it first...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I paid a lot more for my first P3D than this! I'm not complaining. Although this one being $11,000+ less than my first one certainly helps ;) I ordered the white P3D with white interior and FSD at the normal price $62,900, except they gave me white interior for free (basically $1000 off), so...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Update: I may have to eat some crow for customer service nightmare. Tesla just offered me a P3D with no performance package for $51.5k + 2 year free supercharging. A Model 3 Performance for $51.5k? Hell yes! I may potentially get another $1500 off for the 19" wheels due to the earlier incentive...

    Sorry, just because of your user name, I have to point out that 2.6 seconds is 0-60mph (96km/h). 0-100km/h is 2.8 seconds. Source is from Porsche's world premiere (20:56)
  46. B

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Yes, Porsche stated 0-100km/h in 2.8 seconds. 0-200km/h in 9.8 seconds. Simple math tells us that 100-200km/h takes 9.8 (0-200) - 2.8 (0-100) = 7 seconds (100-200)
