    Regen Indicator Light came on for a few seconds randomly today

    I was driving this morning and the regen icon/light came on when I stopped before turning right. The battery was near 60%. I also heard several warning noises until I looked at the screen. It went away as soon as I started moving again. Should I be concerned about it? It was pouring rain, not...

    Weak heater on a 2018 model 3

    I always use AUTO but this month it doesn't seem to heat to the temperature I set. I usually like it at 70F or so, but even at 75F is still cold. I mean, not COLD cold, but definitely a few degrees below 70. Not sure for how long this has been happening because only now it's getting a bit...

    Low system sounds volume today (radio/calls/navigation volume okay)

    So today I could barely hear the blinking sound, the autopilot sound, etc. Radio, calls, navigation volume are fine. Any idea what could've happened? I'm on 2023.27.6 for a 2018 long range Model 3, and it installed maybe a week or so ago? (can't remember when).

    How to stop FSD from changing lanes

    FSD was a step in the wrong direction for me. Previously, I would use autopilot daily and it would not try to change lanes for no reason. Now I don't use it anymore. This is what's doing now: 1. We're getting to the end of the highway where we need to turn right. It's a messy area with 4 lanes...

    Did autopilot distance algorithm change lately?

    I have 2019.5.15 and it's really far away from the car in front of me even when selecting '1' for distance. Acceleration from a complete stop also takes forever, but I can live with these problems. What's really weird is that if I'm on a steep downhill all of a sudden I'm tailgating the car in...

    Paint chip

    I'm always careful where I park and everything, but yesterday I was caught by surprise when I opened the trunk. A pipe in the parking garage had a steel holder of some sort and I didn't see it. Now I have a pinhead sized paint chip. For some reason, it's orange. Should I just live with it or...

    Finicky Summon...

    So I'm doing the EAP trial and the feature I like the most is summon because I park two cars in my garage, and it's tight. I often have to play tetris in the morning to get to my model 3. But lo and behold, the trial came. Now I can pull my car out without having to move my wife's car. Awesome...

    Water inside door after rain or car wash

    So I noticed that there's water inside the door after it rains or I go through a car wash even after a day or so. I noticed that because the windows roll down a bit, and when they roll up they're wet. If I roll the whole window down, it comes up all wet even a day after it rained. Is this...

    Did something really stupid today

    I spent the week with an ICE loaner. It rained several days. Today I finally got my model 3 back. When I was waiting at the light, it started raining again. At the exact moment I turned the windshield wipers on, the light turned green, and I stepped on the accelerator. And the car went...

    Pre-conditioning, regen, and cold weather

    So, I have a question. If we warm-up our car before leaving in the morning, do we still have regen? My hypothesis is no. Warming up the car will help, but regen will still be reduced even after the car/battery is/are warm. Here's my reasoning: I noticed something interesting yesterday. My...

    Wind Noise issues near the triangle area

    There's a lot of things going on on another thread. We're talking about different kinds of wind noise. I do believe most of the problems, though, come from the triangular piece on the doors. The RPM Tesla spline won't do anything to it. Noise coming from that area can come from a bad...

    Windshield dirty or damaged after service...

    I took the car this week to the service to fix a wind noise, and they replaced the windshield for whatever reason. They left something on it that I'm not sure if it's a scratch or some kind of glue on top of it. I tried to clean it up with windshield products, but no luck. If it's indeed just...

    Touchless car wash near Redmond/Bellevue?

    I know there's one in Kirkland, but it's way out of my commute.

    Vampire drain : 7.12 range lost, 1.57 kwh loss over 8 hours

    I decided to try TeslaFi and the first night the car lost 7.12 miles/1.57 kwh. This seems like a lot. I wonder if TeslaFi is somehow responsible for it (due to keep checking the car) or maybe the car was downloading part of V9 (I still don't have it). Any ideas what's happening here? I'll see...

    Trying to use CHILL mode but...

    can't. I want to use it because it makes the ride smoother and gives better range to the model 3. But I almost immediately turn it off because I miss the acceleration and power more than I dislike the jerkiness of standard. So, what do I do to fall in love with chill mode?

    So, no soup (v9) for M3s

    According to TeslaFi, almost no Model 3 has downloaded the 39.6 firmware. I wonder if they found a bug or something. Any guesses when the update is coming for us?

    Voice recognition - playing specific radio stations doesn't work anymore

    I got my Model 3 last weekend. Since the first day, I was able to say voice commands such as "Play 94.9 FM," or "Play Kiro 97.3 FM" And it would work fine. Yesterday, however, this capability stopped working. And it's not the voice recognition that's failing (since it understands what I said...

    White wrap for Model 3 central console

    Do you know of any places that do the wrap for the Model 3 central console? I tried to do it myself while watching the Seahawks today, but I'm all thumbs and have no patience.

    Ceramic Pro Raincoat: OK on windshield?

    I got a quote for ceramic coating, and they say they also apply "one layer of Ceramic Pro Rain on the windshield." Is it okay to do that, or is there a risk of cracking the windshield or causing electrical problems (like with the tinting)?

    Can I still use my friend's referral code after configuring?

    So I reserved early this year and configured in July. I had heard about referral codes, but didn't think too much of it. But now I want to use my friend's. Is it still possible to use it?

    Ceramic coating for Tesla 3 in Redmond, Bellevue, or Kirkland

    I was quoted somewhere from 900 dollars to 1300 dollars. Some do windows separately. Any suggestions of places around this area? Thanks!
