    2023 Model 3 without USS and proximity functionality [park assist / summon not available]

    I can, but I like to get close to the curb without curbing. My VW GTi did it impeccably. My Tesla never understands that I’m trying to parallel park.

    2023 Model 3 without USS and proximity functionality [park assist / summon not available]

    Another poster: "Nov 10, 2022: yep. This has been discussed in many threads. Functionality is supposed to return in the coming months." HAHAHAH. This person apparently doesn't remember FSD being promised in late 2018. "Tesla Vision" replacement of USS is *never* coming. Never. They'll...

    Where is review of video clips now?

    Running 2022.20.7 When I bring up the Camera menu, all I can see is the current camera operations. There is no menu to review clips. I am in Park. Also the remote view in the app hasn’t worked in months. I am on the latest app version. Third, Dashcam just randomly decides when to store clips...

    2018 M3 No heat in first six minutes of drive

    Temperatures down today to about 12°. For the first seven minutes of the drive, the system would only blow cool air. I fiddled with various different modes, defroster off, AC off, and finally the system started blowing hot air, and ramping up the fan. Obviously, this is not like an ICE, I...

    Strange low pitch creaking sound in reverse

    Mine was water related, but not the brakepad- drove through a deep puddle and it knocked one of the undercarriage shields partly off. $202 to repair, took < an hour.

    Strange low pitch creaking sound in reverse

    Just started today. Only happens in reverse. Car drives normally forward and high speed. It’s low pitch, not like a break squeal. Nothing seems caught in wheel well. Thoughts? 2018 M3. Aero covers are NOT on

    Funniest Tesla Question Thread

    I like this post that flipped things on their heads: I am thinking of replacing my electric car with a petrol car and have some questions. 1. I have heard that petrol cars can not refuel at home while you sleep? How often do you have to refill elsewhere? Is this several times a year? Will...

    So Elon is now putting the pause on the Twitter buyout. It’s no surprise that she would be abnormally pumping the brakes, LOL

    Super fast drain [ sentry mode on ]

    Thanks, that's more like 8% per day for me, which is what I was seeing. Maybe the new camera view feature raised it from the old 3% per day.

    Thanks, I was more used to the 15 mile usage and was forecasting based on that.

    Super fast drain [ sentry mode on ]

    Left home with 67% charge, arrived airport 62% Saturday. It’s Tuesday (3 days later) battery now reports 42%. That’s 7% per day on a M3LR (301 mi range current). I don’t get back till Friday night, my car might be dead. I turned off Sentry mode. HELP! Normally my Sentry drain was more...

    Has Navigate on Autopilot just gotten stupid?

    Lane following still seems to work, But the ability to on ramp or offramp or follow ramps from one highway to another seems to have completely disappeared, I’m constantly having to disengage NAP to get it to go the right way, and then taking three or four attempts to reengage it just to get Lane...

    2021.24.10 now nags every 10s when on AP

    I just got the latest release (24.5) and notice no difference to wheel nags, and no camera monitoring (e.g., looking down while on EAP).

    One reason the new user interface is much less safe

    I have apparently been driving around with low tire pressure for two months. The low tire pressure icon, now moved to the bottom left of the screen, is exactly where my right hand and arm on the steering wheel cover it, so I never see it. It really should be moved back top for safety reasons.

    Has your screen ever gone dark while driving? Possibly related to iPhone bluetooth disruption?

    I see it maybe every 3 months. Either it reboots on its own or I hit the two buttons.

    Flat tires - Fix yourself vs Roadside Assistance?

    I know that dykes are very handy for repairing tires, but she doesn't like taking long road trips with me. (just a joke, kids... my LGBT friend approved of this before I posted it, she actually thought it was pretty clever and doesn't have a problem with the term...) That being said, I...

    Anyone tried the "Active Exhaust" systems?

    Sold my Tesla yesterday - No Sellers Remorse Yet

    To each his own, certainly. But you'll have to pry my Tesla from my cold dead fingers. I can't imagine going back to ICE.

    Strange visualization tonight.

    When did you buy your vehicle? Mine is August 2019, they had different tiers of what internet connectivity/streaming you got. I got the lifetime data, but a later purchase I think you have to pay $10/mo or so to get some data/streams. I think CNN and MSNBC are on TuneIn,, but I'll double check.

    Strange visualization tonight.

    Yes.... I'm used to seeing the visualizations posted, but not what I saw last night. There were never any other cars, never any roadway shown, no other obstacles, etc... just my car, 'supersized' with the 'supersized' circles. And there were no other obstacles around (I tested it by driving...

    Strange visualization tonight.

    While driving, my car showed three thick red semicircles on three of the four corners (two red, one yellow), not at all like the short range parking/distance visualization. No other traffic or road showing- I’ve never seen this visualization. At low speed/stopped, it just showed the car. When...

    12v battery issue, Tesla unsatisfactory response

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

    I have the August 2018 EAP (AP plus occasionally some other stuff, like Summon). For $3K, I get upgraded hardware and resale value. I still don't think FSD will be a reality before I trade the car for a newer model. But at $3K, it *might* be worth the updated hardware/resale, and the...

    Heating/Cabin temperature incorrect?

    Update- service came out and said they had an issue where some water could get into the sensor, and they installed an “upgraded” version of the sensor.

    Heating/Cabin temperature incorrect?

    I’m having the same issue. The mobile app shows the internal temp, and it’s registering 5degC to 12 degC higher than actual temperature forcing the A/C to run, and I have to use “HI” to get any heat.

    Bluetooth problems with 36.2.1 and iOS?

    Since the release my phone calls and Siri have not worked. It shows it connecting? But no audio out or microphone input. Anyone else seeing this? Anyone found solution? I’ve reset info system and cycled BT on phone. Have not tried unpairing as i am away from Home without card key.

    For anyone doubting buying FSD, go ahead and buy it now

    If you don't have EAP, then it's worth $3K. If you have EAP, it's worth $0 at this point, and will be for probably as long as you own your current model Tesla. By the time FSD is truly useful, I'll be in the next model, and I have a 6-year loan. :)

    V10 Impressions from those who have installed the update

    My impression. I don't give a darn about games or car karoke. Can we please get the ability to add waypoints in the navigation system? I mean, every other nav system in the world can do it.

    Should i buy it?

    Haven't seen a Genesis. The trunk in the M3 is very roomy, and I can carry quite a bit, even more if I fold the seats through if I'm carrying something really large. I had all hatchbacks before (VW Sportwagen, Prius), and I'm satisfied with carrying capacity.

    Should i buy it?

    Here was my calculation method, updated for current: SR basic = $35K. Add AP = $5K. Wheels, home charger maybe another $2K = $42K plus taxes. Take off tax credit, maybe $40K net cost. Now save yourself about $3K over 7-year life of car in reduced maint (brakes, oil changes). Now it's...

    FSD Upgrade Email

    I just got my email as well. $3K, I do have FSD (received car ~ July of 2018), but still don't know. I didn't buy it up front because I was convinced it was vaporware, and so far, I've been right. Enhanced summon? My car barely knows when to automatically parallel park, it only figures...

    Vandalism by 'Muricans Caught on Sentry Mode

    I hope these morons are aware that Tesla makes cars entirely in the United States, including the batteries, and represents 100% American jobs. And I tried never ever to park my car near any big jacked up trucks, or any vehicle with a trump sticker, for this very reason

    Vandalism by 'Muricans Caught on Sentry Mode

    I think there should be an option for sentry mode to send you an alert to the app, So you have a chance of getting license plate numbers. We don’t have a front license plates in my state

    Rear View Camera - atleast 5 sec delay in coming on (always black initially)

    I hope you're kidding. Visibility out of the rear window is worthless.

    Anyone else notice degraded Lane Change functionality with 2019.8.5?

    Not degraded, but I turned off auto-lane-change on NOAP. It kept moving back towards lanes with on-ramping cars when i knew it was safer to stay in the left lane.

    Made the right call upgrading from EAP to FSD for 2k

    I didn't bite, primarily because I don't use EAP much in non-highway mode as much as I used to. It was a gimmick at first, using EAP on back roads, but I didn't trust it in so many circumstances, and I was constantly disabling/enabling, that I really just use EAP on the highway, and 'manual...

    With brick & mortar locations closing who will be delivering Tesla vehicles?

    I had a failed delivery at a “delivery center”. Besides the wrong car arriving, the experience was terrible. When I asked if they could direct deliver next time, they said sure, but it would basically be a guy dropping it off a truck, and he wouldn’t know squat about a Tesla. I chose to go...

    App- Preheat- seat heaters... all five??

    Thanks! That is helpful.

    App- Preheat- seat heaters... all five??

    Every time I run the app and use climate to preheat my car, it turns on all five seat heaters. Is there some hidden setting I’m missing? It seems silly to not have it remember the last setting, like it does the temperature.

    Obvious features/functions that weren't obvious to you

    If you are preheating your car in your garage (or other age location), you’ve gone to the car, and you want to leave the car (eg to get something you forgot) but don’t want the car to lock again and preheating to stop, leave the door cracked open.

    Autopilot Jail- 1 strike only for speed?

    Only if it fully engages. That was very similar to myself situation- i just needed to accelerate to get out of danger. I didn’t want to “Jerk the wheel” nor did I want to take one hand of the wheel to flick the damn stalk. At 90 mph, I wanted both hands on the wheel. I don’t know why...

    Charged battery for 6+ hours right up until leaving, still had regen dots?!

    I charge in a 50 degree garage, schedule it to charge 3am to 6am, up to 70%, most mornings I have limited regen.

    Autopilot Jail- 1 strike only for speed?

    Nope, you cross 90 for a half a second while in AP, you’re in AP jail. You can’t just re-engage when you are back to normal speed. But you can fall asleep twice at the wheel or read a book for a few minutes, that’s ok.
