    More windshield wiper nuttiness

    Of course not, but we all know that road debris, seeds, and such can scratch windshields if scraped across a dry windshield unnecessarily. Good to know that there is a way to turn the wipers off (at least until the next random time the software decides to turn them back on).

    More windshield wiper nuttiness

    Since my Model 3 upgraded to 2019.40.50 (now running 2019.40.50.7) my windshield wipers are randomly running on dry sunny days. They didn't used to do that (say a month ago). It seems to be somewhat related to the front cameras getting glare from low-angle sun but not entirely. Worse this...

    Left door pillar camera blocked or blinded

    I had this yesterday for the first time, too. I suspect the fact that we are just days from the winter solstice is part of the reason. The sun is lower in the southern sky than any other time of year, and thus will be more blinding than when it's higher in the sky.

    Premium Connectivity cost $9.99/month for many Model 3 versions

    The poll is missing the "I'd pay if it worked more often" option, which is the one if select.

    Premium Connectivity cost $9.99/month for many Model 3 versions

    Just got this too. They went out of their way to imply that music streaming might not work with a customer provided Hotspot. They don't say it won't work, but carefully avoided saying that it might work. Since my "premium connectivity" seems to be provided by some third tier provider (dead...

    Pic of your Model 3.......RIGHT NOW! [model 3 pictures thread]

    They break the little one to drop the rear seat and look in the trunk, and then if they see something that they want in the trunk they break the big one to get it. I didn't have a USB stick in the car so there's no video, but sentry mode didn't report any alerts when I returned to the car, so...

    Spotify w/ V10 update

    Yes, just came here to report this. About 5 percent of the songs in any play list are greyed out and won't play. Trying gets a "loading error". Also I was listening to a long "song" (the original War of the Worlds radio show from the 30s). When I got to work I was halfway through. That evening...

    Android app won't connect

    The last time my Android app connected to my car was over 2 weeks ago. Since then I've rebooted the phone and the car with no luck. Weirdly I can still open the front trunk with the app but nothing else works. Has anyone else seen this? Pixel 3 running Android 10. Is it related to the new OS...

    Does anybody notice phantom braking while on TACC with 8.3 or 8.5?

    On 8.3 .I can't drive in the carpool lane at commute times without turning TACC off completely. Otherwise phantom braking is uncomfortable and unsafe. Extremely disappointing.

    Premium Connectivity cost $9.99/month for many Model 3 versions

    If they ever did start making folks pay for "premium " connectivity, folks might actually expect it to work reliably. Unlike the current service .

    So tell me about a model 3 without EAP. What will it still do.

    I can't imagine buying a car without TACC Basically every new car from every manufacturer is starting to come with TACC. Getting a car without it seems as crazy as buying one without antilock brakes. Why be cheap with safety? Unfortunately the only way to get TACC in a Tesla is to get EAP...

    Model 3 owners: would you pay for Spotify?

    I already pay for Spotify. Why would I pay twice? I want android auto, so I can control the Spotify that I already have using that big display in my car, rather than having to do it from my phone.

    Windshield wipers are horrible, and arguably dangerous

    The wipers are super annoying. (The auto wipers in my Ford pickup truck work great.) Tesla needs to fix this.

    Toyota's confusion

    Toyota is a global company, a leader in every country around the world. The number of countries that have electric car infrastructure is, well, a tiny number. When will it be credible to use electric cars in, say, Brazil? For the vast number of countries in the world, it really is unlikely that...

    Windows rolling down / not rolling up by themselves

    My MR 3 was delivered on the first weekend, and in seemingly perfect shape. But now I've had two problems with the windows. 1. Two days ago I took passengers in the rear seat for the first time, and was showing them the car. When the back seat passenger got out, the window went down an inch as...

    Model 3 Software Update 46.2

    Auto Wipers How Much Rain is required?

    The other day I drove from a completely clear area into a sudden extremely heavy downpour. The auto wipers did not come on at all. I was left trying to navigate a freeway exchange at highway speed basically unable to see out. It took me a few seconds to remember how to turn on the wipers...

    TuneIn Radio and the Model 3

    There's no MSNBC on my brand new MR 3. A random radio station that I looked up is missing too. I guess I should just ignore all the built in audio and use my phone if it's all crippled and broken.

    TuneIn Radio and the Model 3

    Has there been any update on this issue? It's quite frustrating that lots of channels which are plainly available in the Tunein app aren't available in the M3. I certainly won't be paying for Tesla's "premium" connectivity if it's so crippled once the free trial is over.

    Increased regenerative braking when braking?

    Mid Range waiting room

    The choices for SOC are "road trip" (100%) and "everyday" or something like that (looks like 80%). At "everyday" it says 240 miles. I haven't charged to 100 yet. FYI my 75 mile round trip to work is burning off 100 "miles".

    Well, ok, you're not correct. :) MR has the charger and motor that will eventually go in the SR, in addition to the smaller battery. It's sort of an evolutionary "missing link", or an early beta test of SR components, or something. Source: I'm an MR owner, other forum threads.
