    could dying 12V battery be the reason HV contactor doesn't disconnect on power-off?

    The power-off option from the menu hasn't resulted in a HV contactor click in over a year. Could this be because the 12V battery in my July 2018 M3LR is slowly going bad?

    this is new to me "Driving visualization temporarily degraded"

    This came up on the screen during a drive today. Car stopped visualizing it's environment for about 30 seconds. But, it kept on driving in AutoPilot on a curvy road like a champ. It truly was only the visualization that was degraded. And like 2 seconds after I took this photo, everything came...

    As the topic says - anyone have a broken gen2 UMC I could have or buy? I have a theory about how they could be re-used.

    I’m sorry I claimed Tesla support was helpful

    I’d like to apologize. I’ve been telling people that Tesla Support is very helpful if you call and ask for for help in a meaningful manner. I was wrong. I spoke with a representative today who refuse to take a report of the problems I’m having with auto pilot. He said “it would be a waste of...

    Tesla has a lot of offline software improvements to make unless they want upset Cybertruck owners

    Posting this in the model 3 forum, because this effects adventurous model 3 drivers. But will be a bigger issue once Tesla has a more off-road capable vehicle. Tried taking your car out of cell service? It's not fun. The car doesn't have a POI database. You have to know the exact address to...

    Why does the radio need internet access?

    So... I was traveling and the car doesn't have internet access so I can't stream songs, and my presets for the radio station don't work because... I'm not at home. So I click on radio, and the only option I'm given is direct tuning. No channel list. No scan button. No seek button. Am I supposed...

    Tire advice wanted

    I have a LR RWD Tesla Model 3, and I made the mistake of not rotating the tires. So my rear tires are bald, and my front tires still have a decent amount of tread left. Should I: Buy two new tires, put them on the rear. Don't rotate and they'll wear out about the time the front tires do. Then...

    Don't take your hands off the wheel

    Last Thursday, I was headed home from San Francisco on 24 Eastbound. Went thought the Caldecott tunnels. Was in the right most lane of the right tunnel. A couple of hundred feet before the end of the tunnel, AutoPilot suddenly swerved right and hit the curb. I had my hand on the wheel and...

    Will Navigate on Auto Pilot be safer than humans?

    Elon stated that Tesla is going to wait until NavOnAuto accrues 10 Million miles before releasing the "automatic" version. "Yes. Will require tapping indicator to confirm at first. When safety looks good after 10M miles of driving or so, there will be an option to turn off confirm." How many...

    How much does your Tesla upload daily?

    How much does your Tesla upload daily? When I get home and connect to wifi, it looks like my Tesla sends 300-600MB/day for periods, then not much, then 300MB+/day. Is this what other network geeks are noticing? BTW - Just curious, not complaining. I'm glad to provide whatever data Tesla wants...

    Navigation UI issue

    In settings, we can choose whether to view battery remaining in percentage, or miles. But navigation does not honor that setting. Even when set to miles, navigation still shows battery remaining as a percentage. What do you think? Should Tesla fix this so navigation honors your chosen setting...

    What did you name your Tesla?

    I named my Model 3 "George". Partly so I can pretend to be Lenny from "Of Mice and Men" and partly so I can sing "George, George, George of the Jungle, Watch out for that tree!" when I engage AutoSteer. What did you name your car?

    PSA: Tesla will Lyft you to delivery if asked

    I don't know about you, but it was hard for me to find someone with free time to drive me down to Fremont to pick up my car. I don't blame them - traffic can be a nightmare around there. There's an easy solution. Call the delivery center and ask them to schedule a Lyft for you. And if...

    Bad experience at Tesla Fremont Delivery Hub

    After several false starts with my IDA, I was scheduled for a 2:15 delivery on 8/16. I don't feel bad about posting my IDA's contact information because as of this evening, that number no longer rings into voicemail. I assume they have been let go from Tesla. I arrived at 2:00. Things went...

    Are DSA's incompetent or overworked?

    The experience with my Delivery Services Agent has been horrible. I'm wondering if this is par for the course, or abnormal. Issues I've experienced. DSA does not answer phone DSA's voicemail box is full DSA does not respond to all emails. If you get a response, it's at least 48 hours later. DSA...

    Is the M3 steering wheel small?

    Growing up, my dad used to joke that certain people wanted small steering wheels so they could drive with handcuffs on. I took a test drive of a M3 yesterday, and I loved it, but I felt like the steering wheel was super tiny. Anyone else feel like that?
