    2018 M3 Fan Speed Control

    Thanks! Not the answer I wanted to see but it is what it is. Wish the folks at Tesla would provide this capability.

    2018 M3 Fan Speed Control

    I would like to set different fan speeds for the driver and passenger. Is this possible, and if so, how would I do it? Apologies if this issue has been addressed

    Bad Tesla Customer Service

    BTW, how would one open the frunk if the 12V battery is dead?

    Bad Tesla Customer Service

    Couldn’t agree more with posts here. Tesla is low on customer service - service centers are swamped and one can’t reach them. Their 800 number for customer service is always busy with long wait times. I’ve never had such issues with other car brands. Elon really needs to fix the service issue...

    Blog Tesla Discounts Basic Autopilot – $2,000 Until July 1

    Very much doubt you’ll get a fair return. My guess is that the $2K you spend will depreciate at the same rate as the car (which is significant).

    Blog Tesla Discounts Basic Autopilot – $2,000 Until July 1

    Thanks gents for the clarifications and corrections - much appreciated! I see that many ascribe a high value to the AP feature - I like to drive, and retain control. Consequently, I currently don't see much value in the feature and prefer to hold onto my cash

    Blog Tesla Discounts Basic Autopilot – $2,000 Until July 1

    Thanks for the clarification. I think I'm going to pass on this "deal". I'm sure Elon will drop his drawers again soon when he hits a cash crunch. I'm still smarting from the fact that us, first adopters are the ones that Elon shafted the most by charging us full price and then quickly...

    Blog Tesla Discounts Basic Autopilot – $2,000 Until July 1

    So, I must be one of the few crazy hold-outs here....I just don't see the value: Active cruise control and self steering (staying in the center of the lane) for $2K. Am I missing something? I thought the car would modulate the speed and control the steering, and follow the Nav directions...

    Degraded Charge Rate

    Thanks all for your responses. Tesla confirmed an issue with one of the PCS and replaced it. It’s now charging at 44 miles/hour. So all good.

    Degraded Charge Rate

    Thanks for your replies. I did notice that the Charge screen on my car indicated 32/48. I take that to mean that it was receiving 48amps but only charging at 32 amps, the culprit most likely being the car's power management system. I had make a service appointment and yesterday they changed it...

    Degraded Charge Rate

    Apologies in advance to the sensitive souls if there's already a thread on this issue! I have 2018 (Aug-Sep build) M3 LR AWD. I had a Tesla wall charger installed when I purchased the car. Connected to a 60 amp breaker, it output 48 amps and I enjoyed a charge rate of about 44 miles per...

    Anything I'll miss upgrading to "just" a M3 SR+ from Audi A4?

    I too am in NJ and moved from an A4 Quattro to the Model 3 Dual Motor. I wouldn’t recommend the RWD for NJ - for a few extra bucks, I prefer the security of AWD. I agree with most posters that Audi’s fit/finish are superior but it ends there. I absolutely don’t miss the numerous expensive...

    RPM Tesla Experience

    So, my intent is not to be vindictive or hurt anyone, rather share my experience with others considering RPM Tesla products. I purchased their Road Noise Reduction Kit (Gen 2). When I received the kit, it was missing a primer and the lining/gasket for the frunk. I called their Customer...

    Lane departure avoidance limited

    My Model 3 AWD (Sept, 2018) worked fine until about 3 -4 months ago. Within the past 3-4 months I've had the camera issues surface 3 times. Tesla sent a technician to my home to change the camera. The second time it happened I had it fixed at the service center and now yesterday, I had the...

    [V9] How to Format USB into 2 Partitions for DashCam and Music [Windows]

    Thanks to all the contributors for their suggestions to fix a problem created by Tesla engineers! I find it unpardonable that the engineering/QA process at Tesla is so abysmal that 7 pages (..and counting) have to be devoted to a potential fix (hope the Tesla guys/gals monitor these forums)...

    Psyops, sorry been away for a bit and just saw your post. Perhaps too late now, but I had mine installed at Extreme Mobile Sounds in Paramus NJ. Really good guys and they did a great job.

    Summon Feature

    I don’t have EAP and no, Summon is a standard feature on all M3s. I confirmed this with Tesla Support. Don’t know if it’s a coincidence or whether it’s related, but I lost the feature after the EAP trial ended.

    Summon Feature

    I had the summon feature on my M3 and it worked, but it seems to have mysteriously disappeared! Any suggestions on how I can re-enable it?

    USB Music Not Working

    The music resume function didn't work with the PNY drive either. It appears to want to cache the music after I stop playing it. The Delivery Center guys too were clueless about how to make it work. I'm disappointed that the Tesla SW guys couldn't figure out a way to support basic music...

    BlendMount Radar Detector Mount in the Model 3?

    I was told by a delivery center employee that I could void my warranty by tapping into the mirror. So I had a professional wire it directly to the battery (with fuses on both - positive and negative terminals. He attached a relay so the detector powers down when the car is not running. I’m very...

    USB Music Not Working

    So, I tried using a PNY 126GB Flash Drive and guess what? It works! Evidently, the issue is with the SanDisk 256GB drives that throws the Tesla system off. I am disappointed though that the Tesla system only allows you to stage/play your songs alphabetically. I tried to force the play order...

    Radar detectors

    Zoiks - all the best. If you're in NJ I can recommend a great installer. I had mine hardwired and they did a great job. Had to wire it directly to the battery with a relay that ensures the unit only turns on when the car is powered up.

    USB Music Not Working

    Commish, glad you’re deriving value from this thread. Hope it works out for you. I took the car to the Paramus NJ service center and they were pretty ambivalent about the issue - they suggested I write to Tesla and request a SW fix (that and the tooth fairy will resolve all my issues).

    Clearly, Mr X has some strong opinions that he's glad to share with others - unsolicited. Well, for the record, I'm not a "wannabe douche racer" and neither am I an opinionated jerk - I just don't appreciate speeding tickets.

    USB Music Not Working

    Tried with another SanDisk 256GB drive - same issues. I'm quite certain there's no correlation to the music format because after I stop the car and get out - get back in and start the car again, and the USB is gone! Gbrgbr, thank for your comments. Would you mind sharing the details of your...

    USB Music Not Working

    Thanks again Tam & Snowy! I'm using MP3 had to convert the entire music library from AAC to MP3. Snowy, got it - I'm still discovering and learning....mine says 3.4.1 - guess thats the most current release?

    USB Music Not Working

    Thanks Snowy, seems like I'm not the only one having issues. BTW, how can I check on the SW version in my car? In my case, in the remote cases that it recognizes the drive, the songs play fine. I am trying to reformat and reinstall my USB flash drive hope it works (fingers crossed) - if not...

    Didn't do it manually. I'm using an Apple Mac and I used disk Utility to check the USB drive - it says the format is MS-DOS (FAT32)

    USB Music Not Working

    Thanks again Skidmark and Tam! My music collection is about 121GB and I'm wondering if I should use a drive (other than SanDisk) that is 128GB? Understand that the larger the drive, the more time it'll take it to load the content but my issue is that most times the 256 GB Sandisk drive is not...

    USB Music Not Working

    I took delivery of my Model 3 on Sept 7th and tried to connect a USB thumb drive to the 2 front USB ports but discovered that it took a very long time (~10 mins) for the USB drive to be recognized. I was able to access my music and play it but after I stopped the car and went back in the USB...

    I just had an Escort 360 Max detector installed in my M3. The guys at Extreme Motor Sport on Rt 4 in Paramus did a fabulous job (very reasonably priced) and have a great attitude - highly recommend them! During the install, they called Escort and were informed that the detector would not work...

    My center console
