    Pause button broken

    I noticed as of the last update that pressing the left wheel button on the steering wheel no longer pauses bluetooth audio on my phone anymore. Has this been moved to another interface or did this update just break this?

    Model 3 Power Liftgate?

    My tailgate stopped working. Was there a Tesla update that could have broken it? Anyone else have this problem?

    Model 3 Power Liftgate?

    I put the ohm meter on the leads of the fuse container with no fuse in it and it read full continuity. Does that make sense? Then I put a new fuse in it and this time the trunk was open. I closed the trunk from the app and it worked fine but then I tried to open it and the fuse popped. So the...

    Model 3 Power Liftgate?

    Which is that control box? Is it the one that has the memory card slot for firmware update? I have an ohm meter. What leads do I need to check with it and what value? They did indeed install the cables through the tail lights but underneath them. But we have not had any rains where I live for...

    Model 3 Power Liftgate?

    My 25A fuse blew on my Tesla offer power lift gate. Replaced the fuse and it keeps blowing fuses. Looks like there is a short somewhere. Tesla Offer installed my unit so I take it they probably did it correctly. Has been working fine for 6 months. Is there a shop in the Bay Area that has...

    Tesla Model 3 the way I want - Signature Wheel + MPP Comfort Coilover

    I lost 5% range from stock Aero wheels without hub caps to 265 AS3+. So a total of 10% from full Aero wheels with caps. This on a performance model. Might be different for other models.

    What would make you buy a non Tesla electric vehicle?

    All of these would have to be true for me to switch away from Tesla: - Better service (easy to do) - Better body build quality (doable) - Better interior material quality (doable) - Same or lesser price (not likely to occur) - Same or better range (again not likely) - Same or better performance...

    MPP AWD/Performance Coilover Impression and Installation

    The reason people may be reporting different experiences is because we may each have the compression and rebound set differently. The sport MPP coilovers have a huge amount of adjustment so you can set them up drastically different. To me the ride is noticeably more comfortable than stock on my...

    Model 3 Software version 2019.32.x

    This did not help. I went to the link and there is no chat there. Looked everywhere through Tesla's site. No chat. Did google search on exact phrase shown in your picture. Nothing came up for Tesla. Can you please provide exact step by step procedure to how to get to the chat screen?

    What's the most surprising thing you've found once you got your Tesla?

    I am a software engineer too and yes this is the result of frequent updates but usually even in this setting older bugs eventually get fixed but not with Tesla. They keep accumulating mainly because there is no proper way to report bugs and no proper review system for them to do so and be...

    MPP AWD/Performance Coilover Impression and Installation

    I got the sports MPP coilovers for my P3D and they are softer than stock at the spec start out setting which is 10 rebound and 12 compression. My immediate reaction after being used to the stock was that these felt like riding on a cloud or air suspension but with good stiffness on cornering...

    Model 3 Software version 2019.32.x

    Just noticed that with this version 2019.32.2.2 they broke the bluetooth audio. It's out of sync (slightly delayed) when streaming any kind of audio from your phone. This is not noticeable with just audio but when you watch video on your phone and the audio through the car's speakers, people's...

    Model 3 Software version 2019.32.x

    A few versions ago they made the rear camera worse by having it have high gamma so it looks all washed out. That is like the opposite of higher contrast. Is that what you are referring to or did they revert it back to high contrast like it was? Mine still looks washed out from the previous...

    What's the most surprising thing you've found once you got your Tesla?

    What I find most surprising is that the car keeps getting worse with each of the latest updates when I was led to believe the opposite would be true. - last updated broke bluetooth audio sync - the one before that broke the changing system; it sometimes overcharges over the limit set - the one...

    Rattle coming from front right passenger door

    Most likely SC won't fix your rattles. I took mine 4 times each for 2 weeks and each time they said it's fixed but it wasn't. Still have the rattles. Every time I would take it I would also incur little interior damages too so I decided not to go again since they are completely useless. I hate...

    MPP AWD/Performance Coilover Impression and Installation

    I did not notice the set screw. I tried to turn the perch adjustment not knowing there was a set screw and moved it about a quarter turn. It was very hard to do. Knowing now that there is a set screw there and not loosening it, I probably did damage to the treads if this screw is tightened...

    So from 10/12 (recommended) I would go maybe 8/10 and so on keeping a difference of two between compression and rebound?

    MPP AWD/Performance Coilover Impression and Installation

    Trying to adjust the height post install. I am having a hard time turning the threaded thrust ring with the provided wrench. Is there a locking mechanism that locks that ring from turning? What stops it from turning on its own just from normal use over time? On my previous car I had a set of...

    What's the disadvantage of making the suspension height the same on all 4 corners? MPP recommends 5mm higher on the back.

    So what driving characteristics should I be looking for when adjusting the compression vs the rebound?

    I guess we don't have a consensus. An earlier post was counting it as 0.

    The first click out from full closed for rebound and compression adjustment is counted as 0 or 1?

    MPP AWD/Performance Coilover Impression and Installation

    Installer did not put these back on. Are these necessary to block dirt from going in from the top? What have others done? Cut a hole in these for adjustment? Can these be easily placed post install?

    MPP AWD/Performance Coilover Impression and Installation

    On everything except the rear rebound, clockwise direction is obvious. How to I determine the clockwise on rear rebound since you see the dial from the side not top or bottom? Don't understand this phrase: "loosen the set screw on the adjustment knob, so the rotation of it is not driving the...

    MPP AWD/Performance Coilover Impression and Installation

    1. When they say 10 clicks open from full stiff. Were is full stiff? 2. Some of the adjustment dials have numbers on them and a notch to align them too. Are we not supposed to use those and count instead from full stiff?

    MPP AWD/Performance Coilover Impression and Installation

    I put my car on the rack and checked the installation. I was able to see that they did install the OEM rubber isolators both sides and the back has them too. To me the install looked fine but I counted the treads remaining from the perch to where they end and the count is different on every...

    MPP AWD/Performance Coilover Impression and Installation

    Is the OEM isolator the rubber part that is right against the top chassis mount in the fronts? The one with three holes where you need a narrow socket to take the bolts off? I see a rubber part (looks dirty so I think is original) between the chassis mount point and the aluminum looking thing...

    MPP AWD/Performance Coilover Impression and Installation

    I had a local shop install my MPP sport coilovers yesterday and when I got home I noticed that the fender gaps on each corner is different. Measuring from the ground to the fender I have these measurements: RL: 27"; RR: 28"; FL: 27.25"; FR: 27.75". The difference between rear left and right is...

    Model 3 Power Liftgate?

    That's what mine did (as shown in video) when I did the firmware update because the lift gate stopped responding after the Tesla update. So my update never went through then. How did it become operational again then. So after the flicker the light should freeze in what position (on or off)? and...

    Model 3 Power Liftgate?

    I attempted to do the 8/8 update with the only mem card I have which is "exFAT 64MB" not "FAT32 32MB" as recommended. At first I though it didn't go through because the light only flashed for like a brief second and then went out. But after I took it out the lift gate started working again. So I...

    Model 3 Power Liftgate?

    The one that came on 8/8/19 or a later one? The one on 8/8 I didn't apply because it was mainly to fix issues with the foot sensor and I have no foot sensor. Do I have to apply that one? How do I do it now that I can't open the trunk?

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    No I switched to 265x19 tires all around and forged 9.5 wide wheels. My average range seems to be about 120 miles. 140 if I take it easier.

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    I looked at the API and didn't see that. Maybe the app itself is calculating this based on passed usage. Looked at both Android and Apple store and did not see this app. What's its official name?

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    Good info. So the battery gauge in miles is always calculated with 230 Wh/mi rated? Kind of useless. It would be nice if there was an option for battery gauge to show miles left based on last 30 mile consumption. Do you know how the estimated range upon arrival is calculated?

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    I actually tried my hardest yesterday to go as efficient as possible. Did not use brakes at all above 5 mph and ramped up like a snail off every stop. Best I could do is 315Wh/mi, but that is the kind of driving that would piss people off so realistically if I drove like most people, super...

    My performance model came with aero wheels. P3D stealth. So yes they were sliding all over the place.
  41. Perry

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    The answer was already posted earlier in this thread: Performance not getting 310 miles promised But over half of those miles were on efficient aero wheels so now that I switched to 265x19 tires all around the consumption will get worse.

    Staggered tire setup for P3D- with 18-inch Aeros

    I like the 265 in the rear but I would have gotten 265 in the front too. In fact that's what I did for myself. The model 3's handling is very balanced so keeping a square setup has been recommended by most in the know to prevent under/over steer especially on an AWD car. The other issue is that...

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    No way points probably bothers me even more. I want to take a certain mountain road to go from A to B and want to see if I have enough battery for that path but I can't because it chooses only the fastest route. Last time I tried it it was super slow in the browser. I'll have to give it another...

    That part could easily be applied as a modifier after the past consumption raw calculation by the car computer if Tesla wanted to.

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    Yep, that's why I take that route and not others I would like to take instead, because its got that SC in Gilroy that saves me from getting stranded.

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    The destination for that trip was down the hill to the 101 highway so don't count the part beyond that. Anyway it is what it is. It could easily be fixed in a few minutes since it's just a formula and they have all the data needed to calculate things properly but they don't use it. My main...

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    I agree. But start out with an estimate where one element of the equation is past consumption behavior (as a base line) and then adjust from there based on road conditions, terrain, and all other factors you mentioned. I don't think Tesla looks at that at all which I think is a flaw because in...

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    I care about range but as a second priority to performance. Its not fun constantly having range anxiety because even here is California there aren't SC stations close enough for the short range of my car. I have to plan very carefully not to get stranded. Except it was poor at calculating even...

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    ~430 Yes they don't take past driving user characteristic into account at all which I think they should. It is only accurate if you drive exactly how they expect you to drive with an unmodified car. But why does it have to adapt on each trip. Instead it should use past user profile consumption...

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    My stock tires became no tread slicks at 6k miles -- just from city driving; did not track car with these. I have 10K now. I got wider tires (265) as my second set so these are lasting a little better because of better grip so they are not sliding all over the place leaving rubber on the...
