Ok looked today and the option showed up below Storm Watch on the app - no new S/W on PW, cars or app

Likewise I have an M3 an MX and the right Powerwall S/W (V1.46) but I do not see the setting below storm watch

Gotta say I disagree with the dangerous comments. I have lived fairly recently in Dallas, New York and California (Bay Area and Tahoe) so have lived through all conditions. The auto wipers were marginal before, but dangerous not for me. I can change the speeds without looking - also the stalk...

In the last month I upgraded an MX and an M3 to HW3 - one at Fremont SC and one at Reno SC. I had some issues to get addressed and added upgrade to HW3 in both app based service appointment requests and they were part of the service. I had already paid for FSD on both and on the M3 at Fremont...

Just got the HW3 done on our Model 3 yesterday (MX done a month ago) - seems smoother and the full FSD preview is cool but you can still see the limits of the S/W for full FSD. One odd experience I saw was driving north on 101 in CA during rush hour in the lane beside off ramps it twice it...

Careful for sure. A significant number of the complaints were filed by a short seller on behalf of multiple Tesla owners even though they do not own a Tesla themselves. Tesla did co-operate with NHTSA wrt the investigation and none of the incidents could be traced to a vehicle fault. Teslas...

I don’t agree with your conclusions. EVGo is adding Tesla connectors to their network which I love in the absence of a CCS adaptor. Demand will drive deployment by non Tesla charging networks and EV availability will drive charger network deployment. As the new EVs come online more and more...

That is not a J1772 and currently does not work for Teslas - that connector is a FastDC CCS connector where the top pins are the same as J1772 and the bottom has two additional pins for the FastDC. I had a Chevy Bolt that used CCS for DC fast charge and I used it at many EVGo stations. On the...

I had the exact issue on our mid 2018 MX. Started in the fall of 2019, went away after a S/W update and then started being persistent at XMAS at the time of the 50.X updates. Made an SC apmt and used it also to get our HW3 upgrade and they reset the controls for the HVAC and so far it is ok...

I have had my M3 with white seats for about 20 months now - still look great and we wish we had them on our MX - had to get one tough stain out and the Chlorox wipes did the trick.

I get mixed effects wrt our MX and M3. The majority of the time people are indifferent or ask me lots of EV and Tesla questions - charging, range, features, cold weather performance etc. However I have been coal rolled multiple times and my wife had a bunch of teenagers write obscenities in the...

There is no way your car should have vampire drain anywhere near this level. It really feels like your HVAC and/or Sentry Mode is on. Note in the HVAC settings as mentioned earlier you can set "Keep Climate On" and you can set Sentry Mode to auto turn on when you park. Note you can geofence...

I have a P3D-. Performance with 18s and no big wheels or red calipers. I had been on the pre-order list from the first day you could place an M3 pre-order. Once details became available that you could get AWD in the pre-order I indicated that. Now once I could could actually configure I...

I have an P3D- and live in Tahoe CA. The AWD is a deal breaker for me due to the winter - but as others have pointed out a 2WD with winters is better than AWD with summers. However for the slippery conditions I see the AWD and winter tires is a game changer and makes all the 2WD cars I see in...

M3 pre-heats battery by turning on climate via the app. The M3 does not have a separate battery heater but does this by running current through motor stator I believe, but it definitely does battery pre-heat still

I suspect Teslafi of aggravating vampire drain. I setup as recommended wrt sleep settings for both our M3 and MX. Then for about a month I saw my MX did not want to sleep for a longtime and had an leave at the airport drain 2/3rds of the battery scare. Then the MX settled down and then it...

Truckee M3 (P3-) and MX owner - drive through Auburn every week going up and down to Truckee from the valley and use the Rocklin Supercharger once a week heading up. Note love my M3 in the snow but only with snow tires - stock or performance tires don't like snow and ice even with Dual Motor

Mine dip with Street lights. I drive in small town CA and city CA so get a good mix of environments

Literally if you have a hand on the wheel by the vertical spoke it will be enough to show input into the system to not cause nags - as it steers it feels your pressure against the turning of the steering wheel. Waiting for the audible or red nag is almost assured to cause it to kick out...

This is not normal. I live in Tahoe CA and charge below 32F all the time with zero issues on either our M3 or MX (note we did have the M3 charger port lock up issue that was fixed last year). If you ever watch Tesla Bjorn on YouTube in Norway he has done tons of cold weather testing and...

Nope I really dislike driving ICE cars now. The noise and smell of fuel is super annoying - my sense of smell has really gotten sensitized to exhaust. Regarding Teslas - performance, features and comfort beat all but my most expensive ICE cars so sum of the parts for me it is EV forever.

Well all I can say is this makes zero sense - Most Teslas right now get 300 miles of range. Lets say you have to stop three times which I will debate in a minute you will be 10-20 minutes per charger for a range of 30-60 minutes total charging - net net at 60-70mph that is a 7 hr drive plus...

I use the Frunk multiple times per week on an MX and an M3. I open with app or fob and it is not hard or if I am getting out of car open before I get out. I store shopping bags, windshield washer fluid, boots there plus put my backpack etc in there when parking on the street so they are not...

Sorry to disagree. I have had two Mercedes and both did strand me in less than 3 years - one due to diesel ignitors flaking out on a E series and one due to a weird transmission problem on an R-320 that kept happening over and over despite multiple dealership visits. Loved the cars but not...

We have been driving an MX and an M3 for 2 years now and find the auto high/low beam to be very good. If I was going to be biased I would say they are a tad over polite - ie dipping/ dimming sooner than needed

Tried that multiple times. It is sort of nuts - open the door and it gives you screen control but then close the door and screen shows only charge info. Only does this if car is plugged into to charge and behaved like this both at my home charger plus super charger.

My 2018 MX has the same issue - it started showing up in Sept. When a new S/W release came out it resolves itself for a while but then it occurred again on 40.50.2. We upgraded to 40.50.7 last night and it worked once but then I went to turn it on when leaving the ski hill and back to “climate...

Recently I noticed that if I am sitting in the car my model 3s MCU screen is locked on the charge status screen. Net net can’t access any media, map, app selector etc. However if I open the door the screen “releases” and allows me to access any of the functions or apps - close the door and it...

So are I saying nearly all cruse controls are unsafe - if you take an exit or use cruise control on a surface street and are not paying attention same result. This appears like driver was inattentive as any brake or steering wheel input would have cancelled AP and/or TACC.

A few ideas: charge at home on 110V (10hrs will get you 40-60miles), get a dryer extension cord and plug into your dryer plug, add a simple 220V plug yourself and get 10-12mph per hour (easy to do or get an electrician to add)

M3 with stock 18 inch rims handles quite well in the snow with snow tires on all four wheels. This is how I ran my car last year and I live in Tahoe CA and we had huge snow falls last year. Note with the stock tires like ANY car it is ok for occasional light snow but like any all season tires...

Sorry to hear about the experience. However, why are you not using mobile service from the app - we live in Truckee CA and they come to us at home from Reno or Rocklin. We have two Teslas and service needs have been light and all but one they have come to my office/home and addressed. Could...

I have no issue with it being an option but definitely should be factory install. That being said I have had and hate $10 3rd party visor garage door opener options - dead battery, ugly, lose them, no location integration etc. Now the $300 being worth it is personal questions and in my case I...

This article explains the BEV benefit vs Hydrogen. Also note it doesn't even capture the newer 150kw-250kw charging available Tesla Model 3 vs Toyota Mirai fuel cell vehicle

This is not really a true statement. I have an M3 and an MX and 80-90% of the time the car is doing th braking via regen regardless of being in AP or not - note there is both and aggressive and a chill setting for regen. The M3 (&MSand MX) all slow down massively as you lower the pressure on...

You can update on either WiFi or LTE, but it definitely takes longer for Tesla to “schedule/allow” your car to update on LTE. I also use an EERO mesh system for my house WiFi coverage and it works great. Netgear and Google make similar mesh systems. You can also set your S/W update interval...

Many new cars have no spare. My friend has a brand new Audi (literally 2 months old) and same issue on the weekend - blown front tire on the highway 100 miles from home, called Audi roadside assistance and no tire replacement available - had to get a hotel room and get a new tire the next morning.

I would get them on the phone again and explain that the tweet storm generically and direct to Elon on Twitter will be commencing unless they address this as originally promised - also make sure you escalate within Tesla Energy. I had a friend that had an issue with a heavily used CPO Model S...

I think this is quite interesting but by vehicle you need to be able to adjust the range - example I drive an M3 P3D- and it does not have 325miles range and was maxed at 310 miles new but has about 2% battery degradation after 21K miles of driving. Net net I need to be able to adjust the range...

I just looked at my system - 2PWs, Solar Edge Inverter and 7.3kw of LG panels. For yesterday the Solar Edge reported 47.35kwh solar production and the Tesla app reported 46.1kwh and that 1kwh or so delta I see for a day like yesterday (Truckee CA) seems typical.

We have a Model X with 16K miles and a Model 3 P3D- with 21K miles. Both have been very reliable so far and I would say best cars ever so far - we have owned multiple Mercedes, Toyotas, a Hyundai and various US mftgs. The earlier poster complaining about S/W updates I think is super strange -...

I have seen a similar behavior. If unlocking doesn't release the port I haven't had to use the manual release as I just use the app or the car screen to unlock the port.

Interesting - first and foremost I have had a car, Chevy Bolt, with AA and CP and used it for over two years - I tried and used both IOS and Android devices. It was better than the any other in car infotainment system I had previously used, but also frustrating in some respects. An earlier...

Not sure if they farm out and my assumption is they bring in pre-painted but again mine was done in the SJ Tesla body shop - I read about the SC ability afterwards and then saw an option show up on the app.

I will look tomorrow

I have 22 LG panels and SolarEdge with optimizers and 2PWs - 7.2kw system and occasionally peak at 7kw but normally at 6.2kw. The big determiner is the heat as the panels are less efficient when they get super warm - I am in Truckee and in the spring I would see over 7kw but now in the summer...

If you use your indicator it will have red lines all over the MCU screen if someone is in your blind spot. Also it will yell at you if you then try and change lanes with an audible warning. If you departure warning on it also tries to encourage you not to change lanes. Having lane departure...

Since the M3 doesn’t have trailer mode do the rear proximity sensors show an obstruction present all the time? We have an M3 and an MX and the MX shows rear proximity alerts with bikes or skis on the tow hitch rack when trailer mode is not engaged - including beeping at you when trying to back up.

No other SUV (or car for that matter) has higher range than Tesla and none have the charging network. e-Tron and I-Pace are sort of where Tesla was 5 years again range wise and there are threads on this forum saying the iPace specifically is not living up to its promised 237 miles
