I ended up turning FSD beta off for highway driving. My autopilot driving over the last few days without it on has been fine, which makes me believe it's not the torque sensor...perhaps a tolerance stack-up problem with FSD beta. Good idea on the reset. I may give that a shot and see if it...

I've been in the beta program for months now, and this week, I've gotten two strikes during highway driving. I can't get rid of the blue flashing warnings, which lead to red warnings without putting enough torque on the wheel to pop it out of autopilot. I was putting the entire weight of my...

Bebop, named after the ship in Cowboy Bebop.

I noticed a similar improvement under similar circumstances with HW3. There are also some merges and lane splits that HW3 seems to do better with.

I haven't seen what you're describing after my HW3 update.

Congrats! It freaked me out a bit the first time I saw a cone go by...what was that? Oh, just a cone....

Watertown is indeed a thing. I got my HW3 retrofit done yesterday there. They were extremely pleasant. Hooked me up with a loaner and had two techs work on my car (had a couple minor other things that needed doing: squeaky wiper arm + the things Tesla said the car needed: hood alignment...

Did you take a call from your car? I've noticed that that is when mine started to turn off.

Find the electric car chargers at your airport and plug in. Looks like Pittsburg has 5 in long-term parking.

Pie...our frunk is where pies go for travel to family holidays/events.

Yup, this. My car has become the defacto vehicle for long road trips. I've got over 18k miles on it in a year. I charge to 100% whenever I need to to support trips.

I had my first instance of nighttime phantom braking last night on my way home from work. Nothing that I could see that would elicit it. I was on the highway, and it was close to full dark. Headlights were on.

It's you...hold the steering wheel differently so that you're using the weight of your arm to apply force to the steering wheel. My husband gets constant nags; I never get any. He holds the steering wheel like he's holding a baby bird. I hold it at 4 o'clock and allow the weight of my arm to...

Or you could just buy a normal breaker bar, without the plastic handles that reduce the lever arm. This thing is pretty short for a breaker bar, which makes it not very effective in a situation where you actually need a breaker bar, and not just a tire iron.

Bebop is updating as I type. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait until I get off work to try it out. Damn lunchtime meetings...*grumble*

Whatever is lightest and allows the greatest amount of contact patch. Looks like the 9.5 FC04s.

I'm in Massachusetts and ran the X-Ices last winter. Overall very happy with them.

Ok, I thought I was going crazy...I knew it could always see the edge of the bumper, but I didn't remember being able to see that much. It confused the heck out of me the first time I backed up after the update.

I had a BMW before my Tesla. I frequented the BMW forums. People on there were always bitching about the panel gaps on their BMWs...and the "if you look at it funny you'll mar it" soft paint. Enjoy your e-tron, where your NAV system will let you know where all the gas stations are and the...

Yup, this. For me, it happens when my connection isn't great. Try again and it should work.

16k miles, 10 months old. No issues at all and the car still drives just like the day I drove it off the lot. No rattles. Daily 90% charge is 274 mi.

Do you guys think you'll ever offer paint protection film installation?

I never even knew this forum existed...I guess I should leave the M3 forums more often. :) For those MA folks in the area, Kimballs Farm in Lancaster is having an Auto Innovation Show for ECO friendly cars on Thursday Aug 15. I plan on going.

How come nobody in these pictures seems to have a clue about how to properly adjust their mirrors?

I voted "better". My Model 3 was my first foray into electric cars. I had a lot of range anxiety at the beginning. Having taken my car on many 600+ mile trips, I can say that that worry is no more, and charging on the go is such a non-issue. 10 months+ in and 14,000 miles later, I love...

I've got these, which I purchased on Amazon: 3D MAXpider Complete Set Custom Fit All-Weather Floor Mat for Select Tesla Model S Models - Kagu Rubber (Black) I really like them. I had them through a New England winter last winter, and they have help up really well. The trays are nice and deep...

Yes, you've got it on UHPs...they are wonderful when the weather is good, but turn into hockey pucks when it starts to get below 40-45deg F. And you are exactly right that you trade performance for longevity. It's a worthwhile trade, IMO. I don't have the 4Ss yet, as I've still got plenty...

I currently use the Tidal Wave wash at the Ayer rotary. Primrose car wash in Westford would also be an option. I used to use it frequently when I lived closer to it. Personally, I wouldn't trust any hand-wash places to not scratch my car up. Although it doesn't help with the undercarriage...

I charge to 90% daily, especially now that we're into winter here in Massachusetts. I also have an approx 90 mile round trip commute.

Hi neighbor! If you see a Red M3 on Rt 2, that's probably me :) I attempted my delivery on Sept 29, during the nuttiness. I spent 5 hours at the store, and there was only one couple i saw that night that had issues with their insurance. For everyone else (myself included), they had all of...

They'll handle getting the insurance stamp for you. :)

I installed my winter wheel package from TireRack two weeks ago. Zero issues with the TPMS sensors they sell being recognized by the car.

That's the right way to go.

I hate the auto wipers, as I don't ever feel they're sensitive enough. I run the wipers manually 99% of the time.

Umm...because I didn't realize it could do that. :D I guess that's what I get for half-reading the manual.

Yes, I've had that happen, as well. Absolutely no issues with my iphone unlocking the car until this update. It only affects the car doors, however, the trunk still functions just fine on unlock. This morning, I had to open my passenger door 3 times to get the car to unlock.

I've noticed that the charger port door doesn't stay open as long with this update. Previously, my routine was: park, open charge port door from touch screen in car, get out and get the cable, plug in. Now, when I do this same activity, the charge port door closes before I can get out of the...

All season tires, are by nature, a compromise. They will never be as good as a true snow tire. I mounted the Michelin X-Ice 3s on my 3 two weeks ago and have driven in 3-4" of snow. They seem fine. It's a little early to say that they're the best snow tire I ever driven, but so far I've got...

I had that problem this morning, as well, only it was 30F this morning. After stopping at the gym, the HVAC worked fine. Seems to be a software issue, although this is the first time I'm seeing it, so not sure what sets it off. :(

Yeah, my MVPA was missing my trade-in info. I escalated and was told the finance team had been made aware. Nothing updated on my end. I figure we can just update when I get there to pick up the car.

Congrats!!! I'm *crosses fingers* still on for tomorrow.

Thanks...now how the hell do I get them to update it?

Hi guys, I just got my MVPA loaded into my account yesterday. It has my trade-in noted in an Annex, however the credit wasn't pulled forward to the form. The Trade in Value in Section 5 under "Credits" lists $0.00. Trade in value applied to purchase (if applicable) $ 0.00 (D) Is this...

Congrats! I hope all goes well with your delivery!

Try back later, as it's still close to lunch time. I've had pretty good luck calling late morning and early afternoon (2-3).

Call sales in Dedham ((781) 471-3001), where I assume, you'll be taking delivery. I don't think Natick can help you.

I'd not wait for a call if I were you. Call and speak with Sales. The Deadham delivery team's voicemail is full and they never actually answer their phone.

The local delivery team in Deadham got me my RMV-1, it's the MPA that seems to be taking forever for some reason. My trade-in also has disappeared from my account, so I've got to call to see what's going on with that.

I was supposed to pick up Sep 22 at 9 in Deadham, as well. Just got the call that I'm out to the 27th.
