Make sure that your 14-50 receptacle is oriented so that the mobile connector cable is pointing down. This will almost eliminate the strain on the connector. Also make sure you you use a good quality 14-50 receptacle (virtually anything but Leviton).

I have a 2018 LR rwd Model 3. when I first got the car, hitting the manual release opened the door, but the window did not drop, leaving a little ding in the metal trim. Sometime in the last four years the window began going down in the same way it does with the normal door release. Another...

My wife and I have identical Iphone 11's running on T-Mobile. They both work fine as keys and the car recognizes them. However, My wife's phone will not hook up with the car to make or receive calls. I've tried everythink I can think of to make the connection, but it still won't work. Any...

I have a 2018 Model 3 with EAP. It has HW2.5 - no problem. HW-3.0 is needed for FSD.

I had a similar problem. I did a "2 button reset" and everything ,wifi wise, went back to normal.

What I've done is turn the hot spot off on the iPhone and then turn it on again. After a few seconds, the car will see the iPhone.

It's been my impression that the the turn signal display in the lower left corner of the screen is virtually useless. First, it's really out of practcal vision range from a safety point of view. It really should be up just under the speed display. Second, it's almost always too dark. Third...

Had the same problem yesterday (6/3/22) The car wanted to do an update. (2022.12.3.16). There was no wifi. A two button reset did the trick. As soon as the reset finished, Wifi was back on and the update proceded.

And don't even remind me of the total lack of a RCTAS (rear cross traffic alert system).

This is a true "first world" problem. I feel your pain.

I've had auto-open struts that I installed 3 years ago. Other than the fact that they have become sluggish in opening, everything works just fine. A little WD-40 on the struts once in a while fixes the sluggishness.

I finally got the answer - from Tesla. I scheduled a service visit at the ft Lauderdale, FL center. They seemed to be totally swamped. It was handled very professionally. The put me in an UBER and sent me to Enterprise Rent A Car. I got a Chevy Equinox for 4 days (no cost to me). VERY NICE...

That's all the info shone in the control page. The question is: What is Error a552. It could be as minor as a dead parking lite. Or something major.

Thanks for the info. I assume that you are refering to the control page on the car itself, not the app. I'll give it a try.

Just got this fault soon after a firmware upgrade to 2022.4.5 on my 2018 M3 EAP LR RWD. Everything seems to be working otherwise. Any ideas?

Along with the other various deficiencies of V11, the video images of the side camera when the turn signal brings them on the screen, are too dark to be of much use. I have an M3 - Long Range EAP. The grey on grey of the map screen is also a lot of fun. Was this stuff ever tested on cars?

The V11 interface is very confusing. Its like I've had this car (2018 Model 3 EAP) and somebody snuck in and replaced my instrument panel. And not for the better. Aside from the often used items that now have to be accessed thru the menus - (not good while you're driving), the daytime text...

And I walked 2 miles to school every day, uphill both ways. I was born before Television.

Actually, Tesla has great developers. But, most of them are hard at work developing new games and new farting rhythms.

I have a 2018 M3 Long Range RWD EAP, delivered July 2018. I received the same warning 2 days ago on my way to a doctor's appointment. I was going to continue when I noticed that the heater wasn't working. At that point I decided to turn around and take our other car, a 2016 Toyota Camry...

I just noticed that Tesla is pushing out firmware Ver:2021.36.5.8 in increasing numbers, while 2021.40 which purports to have waypoints added to it's Nav. software in just sitting there. Am I missing something?

Sorry to say, I'm missing the old Tesla sponsored forum, in spite of the nut cases that often appeared on the, largely, supervised platform. This forum is, mostly, as the title says, boring and not very informative. I think it needs some adjustments to make it more searchable. As an example...

I received the update on 10/30. Usually, I get updates when I see about 4000 or so have been noted on Teslafi. This time, my update came thru at about 1000. Waa it something I did or said? Nice feature - needs better light sensitivity at night.

I have a 2018 Model 3 RWD - LR- EAP. It recently upgraded to Firmware VER. 2021.32.21. In reading about the changes to the car announced by tesla, I was not impressed. What I have noticed recently is that some of the hidden changes and improvements are the ones that should be noted. I was...

It's fairly obvious, games are much more important then waypoints.

The presence of a homelink device is hardly a blip on the radar compared to the almost total lack of any kind of rear traffic warning device on any Tesla. My- 2016 Toyota Camry warns me about cars, bikes, pedestrians that the rear view mirror or camera can't see. tesla's nothing. If you want to...

It's called PFM

I have a 2018 Model 3. I came with homelink (LTE also). It's not a big deal for the garage opener I could have always clipped the original remote to the visor. The real convenient feature is our communities front gate. The gate opens just as I turn into the entrance drive. No button pressing...

I revel in your disapproval :)

Anybody who has an issue with opening the center console compartments should probably not own a Tesla!

It takes a while to get used to a 10:1 steering ratio.

I've had one for 2 years. The matte finish is very practical. The only down side is that when I wear polarized sunglasses, there is a faint multicolor "cast" to the display.

The rain was driving horizontally up against the side of the car. The passenger seat was getting soaked with only the drivers door open.

During a trip from Long Island to Rochester, NY, I had to stop to charge at a supercharger on the NY Thruway. Unfortunately, it was in the middle of a driving rainstorm. I got out of the car, plugged in the charger cord, got back into the car and started the charge. It started and stopped...

Obviously, it's too late now, but I've seen tested and working displays on eBay for as little as $150.00.

This may have been brought up before. Multiple waypoint settings are known as a "Salesman's route" Back in the 1990's when we used to go to a lot of garage sales. I would enter all the destination addresses in my Garmin GPS (including my home address as the last stop)and the GPS would calculate...

Just get a local minister to perform a marriage ceremony between you and the GPS "Lady". Then you won't hear her anymore.

I This type of error is something that I've seen, maybe, once in 100 calculated routes. Three weeks ago, while routing to a friends vacation home, the system had me drive past the destination, do a loop, and go to the destination that it had just passed. I saw the error on the map, but...

I was fortunate enough to live in an area (NY- Long Island) where PSEG was offering a $500.00 rebate on a selection of wall chargers. I purchased a Juicebox-40 which will charge at 38 Amps - net cost ended up At $50.00. The unit looks and feels, literally, bullet-proof. I've been using it for 2...

yummy! I love roadkill.

I have a model 3 RWD 2018 purchased 07/2018. It's nearing 30K miles - time for new tires. I read somewhere that the 18" Michelin tires have a 55K mile warranty and that some dealers can get a credit from Michelin for the failure to reach warranty mileage. Is Costco one of them? The car is based...

My read on this issue is that inserting waypoints if you are on a trip is nice, but not really important. The car's nav system is so fast that once you reach the first waypoint, you press the button, recite the destination and in 5 or 6 seconds you are on your way. Inserting waypoints once you...

I've had a problem downloading the last 2 firmware upgrades (32.10 and 32.11). The car cannot find or connect to my FIOS modem/router, even though it's only about 6 - 10 feet away from the car. I've been forced to connect thru my iPhone's personal hotspot. The download takes 2 - 3 hours...

Found the answer! Stop using the crappy window cleaning products from the Dollar Store and get Windex (or equivalent). Also, microfiber towels look and feel great but don’t seem to have the water absorbency of cotton.

I’m having a real problem cleaning my windows. No matter what cleaner I use you always seem to leave a film that looks terrible when driving into the sun. Any suggestions?

I currently have 39.7. Wake-up is variable for no apparent reason. Summon always works quickly if I first turn WIFI off.
