I for one have noticed a huge improvement in autonomous driving. I use navigation then put the car in autodrive and it handles pretty much everything fairly well. Yes it does slows down to stop at stop signs. I usually glide through the stop sign slowly. It stop way behind the stop sign and...

So stupid that people try to defeat the safeguards Tesla has for FSD. That is why those people are involved in fatal accidents giving Tesla a bad name.

I have 47,295 miles on my OEM Continental tires. I'm down to 3/32 so definitely need to replace them. I have a M3 LR rear wheel drive and rotate them about every 8K miles. I am going with the original tires given the great mileage I have gotten off mine. I would be greatly disappointed if I...

Thanks for your excellent review of tires. Very informative and great to have the links. I have 19" rims so the Continentals looks like the best fit and has an excellent price point. The Michelins are sold at Costco but currently they are out of stock, they are offering $150 off atm. On a...

We should all applaud this announcement. It's not we against them, but united we can built a better planet. I hope their vision comes true. Competition is good for everyone. Elon Musk should be proud that he sparked a revolution. Many people where pretty skeptical that electric cars could ever...

Here is a simple solution: You can format and set up the drive from the car. With the drive inserted and no other connections to the 2nd USB port, select Controls > Safety & Security, and then FORMAT USB DEVICE. You may have to scroll the screen up to see the FORMAT option. A format erases...

Great review and I would agree with a lot of your comments. Especially about the rims being bigger than the tires. I have rim rash on most of the wheels. That was before they updated the software so that when you backup, the mirrors adjust to look at the curb. The rear camera was not very...

You car should have the HW3 already installed.

Not call M3 came with HW3, so if you had an older MS like I did, Tesla had to upgrade the computer. In my case it was free because I already had FSD. I have a 2018 M3

Would FSD add to the resale of a car that has this option? Perhaps not 100% but would at least add value.

Lots of tire shops fix flats for free. Never had a problem with the independent shops. Fixed 3 flats on my Tesla already, all due to screws.

Next day for me. But the service center was in a push to get cars out before the end of the quarter. So they were super busy. They gave me a model S to drive so no problem for me.

I cannot believe that Tesla is dead last in the JD Powers report. I have had a M3 for 2 years. Zero service calls. Not perfect is every way but pretty close. We have about 24K on the car. I am loving how the car keeps getting better OTA updates. I own a Kia Sedona, really nice car in lots of...

How can I find out which level of MCU I have?

It looks more like a cross between a Delorean and a Hummer. Super badass in my opinion. Already have my $100 down. This tank will go great with my Model 3. My wife can drive the M3, I'll take this Cybertruck. Can't wait to start driving over curbs, lol. I'm looking forward to seeing how...

Jkoya, You might want to check in with Claire for some advice on the product. She did a demo on my KIA that had badly rain-etched windows and it came off pretty well. She is doing a full detail at my home next week and will remove all the etching on glass and body. I know Griot's have some...

I'm thinking the cybertruck is a cross between the DeLorean and the Hummer. It's going to be a great truck and I'm looking forward to trading my Kia Sorrento in to buy it!

Actually JPP, I did cQuartz on my Tesla too but even with cQuartz some maintenance is necessary. I've had my car for a year now. Living in the Northwest, I hand wash my car in the summer and fall but as colder rainy weather sets in using the Rinseless wash is a big help. I was surprised how...

It will look super cool with some graphics on it. Big aftermarket for graphics. Wait and see!. Great specs and decent price. Looking forward to hearing more.

I have a friend of mine who is a car care specialist at Griot’s Garage in Tacoma, WA. For any car enthusiast, this is the place to visit. Check out www.griotsgarage.com Claire has been working for Griot’s Garage for 5 years and is an expert in car detailing. She is very knowledgeable about car...

I previously reported that the radio is not working for local stations. It seems to be working now! I too had my windows tinted. Hope there will not be any problems in the future. I have had the car a little over a year now.

Dang that's lot of speakers. Love it! I haven't heard the Porsche yet, but at triple the price of a M3, I think Tesla is doing pretty dang good. I just don't understand all the complaints. But even the experts can disagree about what sounds the best. Certainly some subjective elements.

I have the same problem. My wife listens to new radio everyday on her commute to work. Can't get the station anymore and station just spins like it is trying to connect. I'm getting this on regular music channels as well from time to time but not as bad as the radio which does not work at all...

I love the sound of the Model 3. Best sound of any audio system in any car I have ever owned. How many speakers? Nine? I like the immersive option. I'm just using the built in streaming option, but occasionally stream audible books from my phone.

Looks more like a Land Rover than a truck. I agree, ugly. Land Rovers look better with far more safety, comfort and style. Who would buy such a thing. Glad to see innovation when it comes to electric vehicles, but this looks like a step back.

It was pure joy driving on autopilot on winding rural roads in eastern Washington on a road trip in August. I was amazed to see the car slow when pulling curves. I have no idea what technology is used to slow the car into curves. It was so much fun driving in a relaxed manner, watching the...

My wife has been complaining that the FM Radio is having this problem. It worked fine until the last software update now she gets the spinning circle. But it does connect occasionally but then will disconnect like when she uses her turn signal. Very weird. I don't personally use the FM radio...

Time for Elon to launch some rockets from SpaceX to improve cell phone range.

Tesla has a great reverse camera so it's pretty clear when a pedestrian is behind the car.

Thanks very helpful!

I don't have any icon for the dash cam?? I only want to use dash cam no music so I don't need to partition the disk. I have a micro SD chip in a USB drive. I also am using a Nomad pad to charge two phones. They use both USB slots so I use a splitter to create an extra USB plug. I know it is...

My auto steering is rock solid. I've had my car for a year with 14,000 miles. This car will steer far better than manual steering. Initially I had some problems with on and off ramps where the line on the left would disappear. The car would want to wander to the left. But no so much anymore. It...

Hey you know, we don't know why he was dismissed but typically one is warned before he was banned. Perhaps he will be back and stick to the posting rules. The Tesla community needs to have some rules for the benefit of all.

I just make the purchase. I love enhanced autopilot now and look forward to increasing it's capability. I plan to keep my car a long time so I hope this will be worth it.

Got an email from Tesla offering full autopilot upgrade from enhanced for $3000. Loved driving the car with autopilot during a recent 450 mile road trip in rural Washington State known as the North Cascades Loop. Full autopilot would of course include any hardware upgrades so might be worth...

Lovely photo btw Bonnie :) Are you still driving a Tesla?

Could not agree more Scottm. While some of the frills may be fun, a focus on the basics is essential.

Me too 8.5

I curious. No mention as to how long it takes to charge your car. I can see how the breaks would be nice but what would be the total time added to your trip as you stop to charge your M3. I have one and looking forward to a longer road trip. Perhaps Seattle to Yellowstone next year. Just my...

Hello Model3forMe Seems you have it working pretty good for you. I'm not seeing the camera icon on my screen. Does anyone have a screenshot of what it looks like? Does it only come on when you plug the USB drive in? I am using a splitter cable so that I can have both phones charge on a pad...

I have had my M3 for 7 months and 8500 miles, got PPF on the hood and fenders and did the ceramic coating. It was expensive and I have wondered whether it has been worth it. The car looks great after washes (hand wash only). But I have noticed a couple of paint chips which is what I thought...

Whoops didn't notice this topic was about the TeslaCam, I was commenting on the update, so I'm off topic, sorry.

I noticed longer range with 80% charge. We charged up to 80% which yields about 245 miles, with the new upgrade the 80% charge yielded 260 miles. Not sure if this is a permanent change and whether max range now is in excess of 310 miles?

If full self driving was paramount for you, you should have waited for it to become a reality. I'm not surprised it is taking far longer for that to happen than anticipated. No offense intended, but anyone plunking money down on hype is foolish. I bought the EAP and could not be happier with...

I charge to 80% daily (244 miles). Round trip drive to work is 75 miles. Plenty of charge to drive around in addition to daily commute. Weekend usually charge sometimes not if charge is nearly full.

Took my M3 to Les Schwab in Tacoma and they rotated the tires for free. They know all about Tesla, lift points, etc. No appointment was needed. Takes about 45 min on weekend and less during the week.

Lol, true concerns. Perhaps this is more of a prototype vs the final product. My concerns is more related to focusing on the successful products already developed ie Solar, Tesla and SpaceX. Who knows, I wish Elon Musk well in his endeavors

I don't know. I'm a Tesla fan, okay, and own a Model 3. Elon Musk is a fascinating man who has developed amazing products with a lot of futurist vision. He, his companies and employees have all done what no one else has done. Unbelievable products that people have said can't be done. Not...

Dang, interesting information. Got my M3 in August, had my 70/50 3M Crystalline done in September by a quality shop in Redmond, WA. Metropolitan Detail. They had 3-4 Tesla's in the shop having detail work done so I assume they know what the are doing and took proper precautions. The Tesla is...

Hey that does look great! First time anyone posted a photo of using the original plate offered by Tesla, that I know of. Thanks for sharing, helpful information.
