    Strange Odor When Starting AC

    Don't know how to ask this without the obligatory joke response. My M3 has a strange, rotting odor when I first start the AC/Fan. It dissipates after a minute or so. Not sure if a critter got caught in there and met its demise, but if that was the case you'd think the smell would continue. Any...

    M3 Not Unlocking with 2 Different iPhones

    For some reason, my car suddenly stopped recognizing my phone and my wife's iPhone when I approached the car to unlock it. I had to use my keycard to get inside. Once inside, the car recognized the phone and accessed my music etc, but as soon as I stepped out... nada. Thoughts?

    1 Day Between Software Updates?

    Yesterday Tesla pushed 2019.8.5 to me and today pushed 2019.12. Strange, right? For reference: LR RWD EAP FSD (eventually)

    Elon Confirms Those Who Purchased FSD get Computer Upgrade Free

    This is a happy way to start the weekend: "Anyone who purchased full self-driving will get FSD computer upgrade for free. This is the only change between Autopilot HW2.5 & HW3. Going forward “HW3” will just be called FSD Computer, which is accurate. No change to vehicle sensors or wire harness...

    Regenerative Braking Reduced on 2019.5.4?

    Anybody else noticed the regenerative braking isn't as strong as it used to be? Ever since I upgraded to 2019.5.4 my car feels like it doesn't slow as quickly as it used to (setting is on standard). I'm currently on 2019.5.15 and it still feels like I'm using the brakes more than I used to...

    Slightly OT: M3 EV Tax Credit + Solar Credit

    Sorry for the slightly OT question, but maybe it'll affect a few others in the same boat. After getting my M3, I decided to get more off the grid and look into installing solar. I am reading that the IRS applies the rebate for solar energy installation before that of a new EV. So if you got...

    Tesla Adaptor on ChargePoint

    Anyone know if the Tesla J1772 adaptor can stay on a ChargePoint charger when not in use (i.e hung up)? Thinking about getting a ChargePoint and buying a second adaptor and just leaving it on it.

    How far down to run battery before 1st charge?

    I know this isn’t a cell phone, but how far down should I let the battery get before charging the 1st time? Also, any downside to charging multiple times between full (80%) charged? ie If my battery is at 50% and I plug it in at the free mall charger for 30 minutes, will repeatedly doing this...

    Can Tesla Build an M3 This Fast?

    I ordered a RWD, EAP, Non-P, 18" Aero, MSM on 7/27/18. Received a call a week later that my car was ready to ship to me in LA. Picked up on 8/12 with a 55XXX vin and the car says built 8/18. The car had some Freemont dust in the trunk seals which I thought meant the car was sitting on the lot...

    Who's putting front license plates on their M3?

    I've noticed most S and X owners do not put the front plates on (at least in California). Curious how many Californians will not be putting plates on the front -- and what, if any, ramifications are there for not doing so?

    Rhyme or Reason with VINs?

    Curious if VIN #s are consecutive or if there is some super secret formula. I configured my car on 7/27 and had a VIN one week later (57XXX). Wondering (like many of us) when my car was built. I have to assume with a 7 day turnaround it was finished a while ago. Regardless... happy to have a new...

    What are the pros & cons to removing the aero cap (other than it looks better)? Significant mileage loss? Is curb rash reduced?

    Tesla wall connector to non-Tesla cars?

    Can I charge a non-Tesla EV using a Tesla wall connector at home? I know there are aftermarket adaptors that are supposed to work, but not sure what the current thinking is. Thanks!
