Just one data point. My first M3 had what looks like much less damage than on either of the cars in this thread and was totaled after a month in the shop because of a very small bend in the metal below the rear seats. They claimed there is no factory approved fix for that. So hard to tell from...

Scheduled appointment and they chatted yesterday and did remote diagnostics. Just asked if car drives OK and pushed the same software update I was already on. The issue happened with the car on the previous version but they did not answer if the new version contains a fix for this issue or they...

Similar experience. Parked car and got the error on the screen (actually only heard it, as I was looking out) while exiting from the car. Only found exact error message in the notification log but was able to see through the window it was the same all red notification like the one when the rear...

This was my first Model 3 in 2018, 9 days after delivery and ~85 miles. Declared total loss after 45 days in the shop, multiple hidden damages. I guess insurance company wanted to confirm the damage.

Same situation for me. $4,500 to get the option for setting up subscription. If not mistaken, only cars made for 3-4 months are in this situation (late 2018 early 2019)?

I was waiting for the subscription. But as one of the "forgotten" Model 3s (Jan - Apr? 2019), my car does not have Autopilot. To have the $199/month subscription, the app says I need to pay $3k for Autopilot then $1.5k for HW3. Cars like mine got skipped back then, ended up costing more and...

Wondering if the battery management system is able to determine if cells are damaged in an impact. Would that not manifest as that group of cells showing some difference in voltage or no readings?

Mine is first half January 2019, has 980 and a plaque with that on it.

All options show just the same for me - boost, AP, enhanced AP, FSD. Only difference I notice is AP is now $3K, was $2k till maybe ~2 weeks ago when last I last checked?

My battery semi died overnight. The car seemed to have opened the rear, driver side window about halfway. With the amount of rain we get here luckily my car was in the garage. The car was not waking up (screen dark) and opening the driver door from outside did not lower the window. The mirrors...

Maybe answer is buried in the 106 pages but will ask again. Does getting the boost make a difference similar to launching from 0-60 with 20% battery vs say 95% battery? Dont want to have to deal with refunds and overall cost Tesla time or money just to test.

Did not read all posts in the thread so not sure if anyone else mentioned it. On my car the side repeater cameras have a very heavy yellow tint that is very noticeable when using the new 3 camera view. Almost as if someone messed up the white balance and also turned doesn the brightness and...

Can Tesla legally block this from working? They could revoke powertrain warranty, I would understand that, but they can't block you from making changes to the car you own, right?

Have the card and adapter worked in the past? Besides FAT32 file system, a root (top) level folder called TeslaCam is required. To confirm your card/reader is recognized and working, you can try placing an MP3 file to see if car can find and play it.

The last few releases fixed, what I considered broken, separate audio volume controls on the car and on the phone. Now car and phone have a single volume control. Before was always a problem needing to increase volume on phone to max which required pressing an OK confirmation past a certain...

This is a nice card, will last a while. High temperature tolerance and good warranty. And can be easily used in your phone and such unlike USB drives. Glad to see you giving B&H business. Adorama is another solid place to get stuff.

Not sure what numbers you looked at. See the attached screenshot from the website. These are all very fast (relatively) cards and 4 of them don't get past 4MB/s. We have argued before that we are not sure how Tesla writes to the flash drive to be sure we should be looking at sequential speeds...

Warning: got two counterfeit 128GB cards off of Amazon : NintendoSwitch Fake SD cards on Amazon.com!! Buyer beware. If you have the time read the posts and notice sold by Amazon not on Amazon by third party. Still very much a possibility to this day, IMHO. If you spend time on photography...

When buying any SD card / USB flash based storage, be very careful as there are many counterfeits on the market. I have had better results buying from NewEgg (not a third party selling on NewEgg) and they usually have same price with Amazon. Always a good idea to run some tests and compare with...

Just cant help myself to post this link... maybe it help explain things and assist making better recommendations/decisions Explains the standard now used to measure "speed" of a card outside of using sustained read/write MB/s. This is the SD cards standard but the same applies to all flash...

All tax prep software and online versions allow you to see the completed forms before submitting to IRS. Find the option in your software and review for your own sake. Using Hrblock I also put the reduced amount when asked and noticed it was incorrect on the filled forms so went back and put...

Did go and checked. And my memory was incorrect as it seems the simple steps I used before do not work. Strange I would remember this working if it did not...

Meant the Model 3s (2019 AWD as well as the MR) Don't feel like going downstairs to test but I am pretty sure just put in reverse, adjust, save profile worked. Could be mistaken but before adjustment mirrors tilted much more.

Somehow my cars can do it... Could it be trim/model year dependant?

Review the completed tax forms just before you have the option to file and you will see it says there 50% (or 25%) of the value you specified in the box when asked. So don't calculate how much credit you should get, instead enter the full amount of $7500 and the software will calculate the right...

depending on file system type, defragment can improve performance of flash media as the metadata of the file system gets reduced by keeping track of fewer chunks that compose the files. while having your audio collection of MP3s play is not a scenario that most users will have a way to notice...

I was under the impression that you can put in reverse, adjust mirrors while auto tilted down and save your driver profile to always have it the way you want it?

Not sure what kind of perverted pleasure I get from reading yet another "slow drive" discussion but I guess hoping someone will provide a clear and consise response so maybe people listen. There are many people affected from this issue. The majority always say the issue started after a while...

Interesting you dont get 3 options for acceleration - chill, standard sport but just chill and sport. thanks for screenshot.

Was parked at a parking lot, heavy overcast midday, got message for front camera obstructed or blinded. Started driving 10 feet and message went away. First time ever seeing this message.

Can someone with "working on computer but slow for Tesla" USB drive perform a full erase of the drive using CCleaner as described in Using CCleaner's Drive Wiper and try again in the Tesla?

To answer some of the comments. 1. Noone tests USB drives for latency as this is not a factor for their typical usage. You can do a test yourself of latency, rather simply when I think of it. First turn off write caching on the drive. Open task manager (if you use Win 10) and go to the disk...

A few points for you to consider. While the graphs I shared are their "heaviest" test, you could have went two pages further to the lightest test page. Pick one of the bigger "offenders" - the Intel 660p. Keep in mind all the drives on those graphs are with extremely superior controllers to...

Flash drives, over time, are not as good as new. Especially when working on near full capacity. The more you push the drive the more it shows its age. Endurance cards have additional "reserve/spare" cells they resort to using to allow them to hide their age better. Leaving unpartitioned space on...

Checked on this thread again and see that we still have the vocal minority not wanting to ingest well explained information. One can arguably reduce to 3 the main specs that define a storage drive. How often it can perform an operation (IOPS), how long before it performs the operation (latency)...

I think to actually have some real answers it is important that everyone provides more detailed info: 1. Exact model of the drive you use not just manufacturer and model name. Manufacturers would reuse the model name but can have multiple revisions with slightly different characteristics. Look...

Light turned green, me maybe a bit distracted but car at most 10 mph since we just started moving. The car in front of me accelerated quickly then stopped abruptly. I was slower to accelerate and had 2 car lengths in front. Noticed the front car red lights and pressed the breaks and was slowing...

Interesting that you noticed this for the first time today, as I also had my first ever experience of full on emergency breaking at a stoplight today. Feature works at all times, regardless if AP is engaged and is a feature available on all Model 3s

As I understood it, preconditioning is running the electric motor in a slightly inefficient mode (as if badly controlled) which increases the EMF induced losses, causing extra heat which is then transferred to the battery so it is at the right temperature for charging.

Back last year before my first Model 3 I got a screen protector but never installed it. Now will do it when I have a chance. Never thought about the emergency response connection before purchasing, thought this is such a simple feature to implement, it would be available on all cars nowadays...

Found a few mentions at other forums and here on Tesla having automatic crash response system (similar to OnStar in the Volt and Safety Connect on the ES) but it seems it is not a real feature, just anecdotal cases where Tesla HQ would call drivers post crash. With software updates coming...

@StealthP3D, I have been following the thread for a while. Glad there is someone like you who can be persistent in providing and explaining their point of view. There are a few vocal forum members that seem to be relentless in self-confirming their own theories on every discussion they...

You would think that what you state proves it's Tesla software bug, I have already disagreed before. Having same USB stick work before but not after an update does not prove it is not the USB drive. Some drives may not age well, poorly written garbage collection algorithms can cause an...

would it be helpful if we post models that work and those that don't. if anyone is adventurous and have the problem discussed, buy a drive that works for others and test to know if it is the car or the usb drive. mine is super cheap and small phisically. and works with no problems for 9 months...

1 car set on advanced and 1 on standard in my account. difference of a day, if that. almost always in the evening after 7pm, when plugged in.

Interesting. I did this a few times (maybe not hard enough or sufficient repetitions) not knowing this recalibrates but did not make a difference. Would be great if someone can fix the car this way and skip the service visit

I emailed Tesla to ask the exact birthday of my cars a few days ago but have not heard back. Interesting yours is the newer 990 and January too. Do you know your car's exact bday?

Presume you mean to ask about 2.4GHz and 5GHz.Tesla built after beginning of 2018 support both. Your car likely favor the stronger signal which is usually the longer wavelength at 2.4GHz

Sorry to read you are having this trouble. But at least a service center is not that far. Don't get frustrated, does not help a bit. Would you say the windows lowers by itself more than what the other rear window does when you open the other door? If same, maybe the sensor for the door closed...

Thanks for helping. Non-P, US market, AWD built first (or second) week of January 2019. 1120980-00-D
