    Supercharging in Texas

    A lot of us charge at home, where in TX my rate is .10/kWh and costs me zero time. Option not available with a gas car.

    Premium Connectivity

    Whether you’re subbed or not, the LTE bar is there as non subbers still get non-premium connectivity. You cannot use PC as hotspot for devices and you can’t get a number associated with it. It’s like if your iPad has LTE, it just provides internet connection without needing WiFi. I’d consider...

    Disabling Rear Seat Belt Reminders

    The ones in the front i think you will need to click it in. The ones in the rear just press and hold the red belt icon for a few seconds to set it to babyseat.

    OEM tire warranty

    Just get a gauge from Amazon, the tire stores use the same one. With often we should monitor our tread wear on the Model 3,really should just get 1. Also you want to have even tread wear, that's hard to eyeball.

    Broken Windshield - Model 3

    Will it count against your record as an accident claim and raise your premium though?

    It really feels like we're not allowed to have nice things.

    Broken Windshield - Model 3

    Considering how easily cracked my 2018 3's windshield is, I'm not sure I'm against aftermarket. In my over 20 years of driving prior to getting my 3, I've never had a cracked windshield. I've had repairable chips on the glass, but never any that led to cracks requiring full replacement. In 37k...

    How was yours broken that it was considered a defect?

    What is this new icon?

    Pretty sure if MGM hadn't complained it wouldn't have changed.
  11. jkcheng122

    What is this new icon?

    Just to clarify. New icon is Sentry Mode, the icon to left is Dashcam.

    Spotify: Bluetooth vs Tesla built in app

    Are there WiFi capable storage USB drives that would allow us to transfer music files from home computer to the drive over network?

    OEM tire warranty

    Yeah, for 2019 models and newer it's very YMMV.

    OEM tire warranty

    Right, no involvement at all from Tesla. Do keep in mind this only applies to Michelin.

    Is Subaru WRX faster/quicker than Corvette?

    I don't believe Subby WRXs are that fast, and a quick Googling showed it to be in the mid 5s. Sat in one driven by a friend and it did not have anywhere near the power of my LR RWD. I also wouldn't take the word of a guy about his car's performance if he didn't even know how many turbochargers...

    12v always on after sentry mode update?

    Considering my radar detector is within easy reach, I really just have to remember to turn it off and on when exit/enter the car. The dashcam I'm not as concerned about. It doesn't drain much battery while on and may just come in handy being on while I'm out of the car. My Valentine One radar...

    New 40.50 Software

    Think you misread. I think the person said it'd be much easier to be able to control temps via right wheel than it is to use voice.
  21. jkcheng122

    New 40.50 Software

    I'm not using Easy Entry though, car stays in my profile when parked. Though knowing this, I'll see if setting recirculate to On after parking will help it stick.

    New 40.50 Software

    Hooray for voice controlled temperature settings. Wonder if it works for the recirculate button that often doesn't stay on after parking.

    Stupid question of the day ... AM radio...

    Look up the station you want to listen. The 3 doesn't have AM, but it does have HD FM. A lot of the AM stations are available on the 2ndary channels of HD FM stations.

    Is there anything on the Mach-E that you liked BETTER than your Tesla?

    I'd add CarPlay / Android Auto support.

    Spotify: Bluetooth vs Tesla built in app

    You should be able to make the Waze alerts either use BT Phone Audio (iOS) or phone speaker (Android) and still use the car app. I do agree at this time BT trumps in-car app.

    V10 - phone music library on MCU

    I think for this to work you need to use Apple Music for iPhones or Google Play Music for Android phones.

    [Tip] How to access your custom Slacker stations on the car

    I just tried downloading the linked version of Slacker Radio 7.12.5, but there was no option to "favorite" the Custom Station. In place of where "favorite" would be, I see a download icon.

    Spotify: Bluetooth vs Tesla built in app

    Going through BT may degrade the sound quality though. I don't know if anyone has done comparative listening to the two options. There are other issues with the in-car app that makes it near unusable for me though: 1. some of the "made for you" playlists, most specifically the "your liked...

    Ripped Undercarriage Composite from the rain?

    I just had mine fixed under warranty. The tech said he'd check to see if it was impact damage to determine if warranty covers. He couldn't find impact dmg, replaced both front and mid aero shields no charge.

    OEM tire warranty

    You're penalizing Michelin for a warranty they no longer do, when other companies didn't do it to begin with. We are only dealing with OEM tires here, the ones that come with the car. Most of us weren't aware the warranty even existed until our 45k-rated tires wore out at 20k.

    OEM tire warranty

    I've successfully gotten the pro-rated credit for the 18" Primacys that were replaced at 20k miles. All were down to 2/32 or 3/32. Tires were rotated by Discount Tire at 7k and 18k miles at no cost, why people pay to have Tesla do it is beyond me. Discount Tire is also where I got the credit...

    How to remove the odor / mold smell from your AC

    I was quoted $141.70 for parts + labor. Parts include the Kool It cleaner listed at $19.95, and filters at $17 each. Total labor $87.75. I've elected to take a shot at this myself and save about $100. ($17 for Kool It and $27 for 2 filters on Amazon). Thank you OP for the video and links.

    Sun shade for my Model 3

    I'm guessing the one I linked is the spring loaded one. To me they are not annoying to put away, and I love that they take up very little space when put away.

    Baby Seating Position

    Center is fine, you just can't use the LATCH system to secure the seat to the center. I initially used seatbelt to secure the seat in the middle, but noticed it was much more straining to secure baby in the seat when it's in the middle. I've since moved the car seat to behind driver (I park on...

    BMW F80 M3 v Model 3 Performance--From Someone that Owns Both

    Great read, though I can't quite get over how "it's" is used incorrectly in an otherwise grammar error free read. The on-demand performance really distinguishes Teslas from ICE, performance or otherwise. I think it's also an aspect that is hard to realize just riding in a Tesla vs driving one...

    Vendor Tesla Model 3 SR+ Dyno Test. Faster than LR RWD?

    If true maybe LR RWD will get another boost to be ahead? Where does the figure into this comparison? It should be LR < LR+ < MR < LR RWD < LR AWD < people I'm jealous of that get to own a P3D.

    Can you turn TACC off?

    Help me understand this. You guys are wanting CC w/o TACC, meaning it would not brake for you in traffic. How would you use regular CC in traffic? BTW, the TACC's braking and accelerating has been massively improved over the years, they're pretty smooth now most of the time.

    Goodyear Assurance MaxLife tires

    I understand it'd do this to all tires. Reason I advised against MXM4 is it seems cheaper and better handling tires can be had. Has there been any info on how much regen wears out tires? It seems between brake pads and tires, brake pads would be cheaper and less often to replace.
  43. jkcheng122

    Goodyear Assurance MaxLife tires

    I'd advise against the Primacy MXM4s. Mine are at 5/32 already with only 18k miles on them. Wear out too fast for $200+ a pop. I'm currently eyeing pilot a/s 3 as replacements.

    32 Amps is not enough!

    I didn't know there are many people who think slow charging is enough for everybody. I always thought majority of us believe Level 2 is needed to be comfortable with range anxiety. Personally my commute is 80 miles a day, I would not be able to get enough charge overnight at Level 1.

    2019.24.4 suddenly won't sleep

    I have similar issue with car not sleeping recently. I get notifications when car is fully charged. Since 2019.24.4, I can see several notifications overnight saying car is fully charged, that means car was draining battery due to not sleeping.

    12v always on after sentry mode update?

    My dashcam plugged into the 12V port still records when the car is at home in the garage with Sentry Mode off.
