    Tesla headache?

    For what it's worth, the headache only lasted a couple hours for me, and after 3 days of driving my M3 it went away. So, don't give up yet, it's temporary!

    Feature Request: Automatically Roll Up Windows When It Start Raining

    Yep, closing windows with the phone app seems like the first step here. As for power consumption, my Sentry Mode doesn't drain my battery at all-- I hardly notice it. Maybe that's just me. But yeah, it would need to make sure it doesn't drain the battery while trying to detect rain.

    Feature Request: Automatically Roll Up Windows When It Start Raining

    I'm sure this has been suggested before but I just thought about it. How nice would it be for the car to automatically sense rain when the windows are down, then roll them up automatically? Apart from being a nice feature for us, it would be a great selling point for Teslas: never worry about...

    Model 3 Software Update 46.2

    The upgrade to 46.2 has made the automatic windshield wipers totally usable now for me. Previously they wouldn't turn on until the windshield was so covered that I couldn't see properly. Now they seem more sensitive and actually turn on when I expect them to.

    Tesla headache?

    It went away for me after about 2 weeks. Still happens to my wife every now and then if she's on her phone while I'm driving.

    Is changing a phone the only way?

    My iPhone XS is more like 85%. The times it doesn't work, I just try the handle 3-4 times in a row then it tends to work.

    Is there a way to keep air circulating inside the car?

    I have my HVAC turned on "Auto" mode, which is great. The only complaint is that it regularly turns off the inside air circulation and pulls in air from the outside. I regularly drive by some stinky areas, and constantly smell diesel and other stank on the highway. I have to remember to...

    V9 39.7 - Dashcam not working

    No "X" since 42.2. Not sure if it's fixed or if it just takes longer to happen.

    V9 39.7 - Dashcam not working

    Not sure yet. I got the gray x before upgrading to 42.2. Now it's had a red dot for a day or two. Will keep monitoring to see if that turns into an x after a few days.

    Model 3 Software Update 2018.42.x

    Silly/serious question: why does anyone need a key fob? Is the credit card key not good enough? Not having a key fob is a big upside to M3, in my opinion.

    V9 dashcam

    Silly question, but can you have a USB for TeslaCam and both of the phone chargers at the front plugged in? I had to unplug one of the phone chargers in order to use that USB slot for TeslaCam.

    Model 3 Jeda Wireless Pad

    Jeda works very well for me, no problems with installation or charging whatsoever. I did not get the fast charging addition, and it still charges quickly. Some nits though: The back of the charger doesn't have the indentations that the standard rubber pad has, instead there are sort of sticker...

    Obvious features/functions that weren't obvious to you

    One of the most underrated features is the Hold lock for the brakes. For me, this usually happens automatically, but if you're stopped and the ((H)) doesn't appear, then you can press the brake down extra hard and it will activate the brake lock. Then just press the accelerator to unlock it...

    Obvious features/functions that weren't obvious to you

    Really? How can you do this? I can't find anything Tesla related in the Siri Shortcuts app.

    What did you name your Tesla?

    Me too (well except my car's silver)! I came here seeing if anyone else chose Dolores or Maeve. Not disappointed :)

    Trying to be a polite Tesla Model 3 driver but ICE cars are soooo slow!

    I was thinking about this over the weekend. The biggest downside of a Model 3 is that I rarely have a straightaway to gun it without breaking the speed limit almost immediately hah. Plus, when I do get going, there are ALWAYS slow cars in front of me. On a positive note, sitting in erratic...

    Software update 2018.28.5

    This alone would be worth the update for me. The auto wipers are so promising but aren't sensitive enough and don't turn on soon enough for me.

    Action needed to get a license plate?

    Any advice on getting a vanity plate? I was hoping to have that option along the way instead of just getting a standard plate. I assume at this point I'll just have to go through the NC DMV to return this plate and order a new one.

    Action needed to get a license plate?

    Climactic conclusion: Yep the license plate was delivered yesterday.

    Action needed to get a license plate?

    Finally called the Tesla sales line and someone answered. Said the plate should be delivered today: 3 days before my temporary license plate expires :) Guess we'll see!

    Model 3 Software Version 2018.26.x has lock confirmation sounds

    I totally agree with this. Having my car locked in the garage is annoying-- I can't even unplug the car in my garage without having my phone/key with me. It would be great if it had an option to stay unlocked when parked in the garage.

    Brake lights

    I came here to ask this same question, thanks for posting it. I haven't noticed the tail lights on the car in the display, but can't wait to see it this afternoon.

    Action needed to get a license plate?

    Update: I called the license plate office and they said to call the Tesla dealership back. I've left two voice messages for Tesla about this and so far no call back. My temporary plates expire in a week, so I hope something is in the works.

    Action needed to get a license plate?

    I'm in North Carolina and picked up my M3 about 3 weeks ago. I still have the temporary license plate on my car, and I haven't received anything from the DMV about next steps. Historically, dealerships have filed license plate info on my behalf, but I'm not sure that happened with Tesla...

    Tesla headache?

    Maybe I’ve been showing off my TM3 too much for friends and coworkers, but I’ve noticed I get a slight headache after driving it (when I’ve accelerated really quickly). It’s pretty minor, but I assume it’s due to the g-force / insane acceleration. Am I just being wimpy or does this happen for...

    What does the Security Alarm do?

    That does it, thank you!

    What were those issues? Just curious.

    Unlock 3 with Apple Watch?

    My Apple Watch Series 3 is essentially touted as being made to be a standalone device (it even has its own phone number, albeit redirects to/from the iPhone). Agreed it would really be great if we could unlock TM3 with the Apple Watch-- if only as backup to a phone without power.

    Phone Call Echo

    I'm on 2018.24.7 and sporadically get the echo on the other end. It happens more a) when my wife calls me while I'm in the TM3 (not the other way around), and b) when either of us made a call quickly after getting in/starting the car. Really hoping the next update fixes it.

    What does the Security Alarm do?

    When my model 3 was delivered last week, the Tesla rep said I shouldn't activate my Security Alarm for a few days because people tend to set it off on accident. I went ahead and activated mine yesterday and so far so good. I haven't been able to find documentation anywhere on how the Security...

    Anyone get autopark to work?

    I've tried to autopark my 3 about a dozen times, but the icon never shows up. It showed up once at a stoplight, but no luck in a regular parking lot, even when other cars are surrounding my spot. And I feel like I'm always in a hurry because the parking lots tend to be busy when I'm practicing...
