I know this is going to sound ridiculous. This is my second Tesla and while I’ve read stories of phantom acceleration, I’ve always felt they were attributable to a cause. The acceleration pedal getting stuck on the floor mat comes to mind. Today though, when this happened to me, I found no such...

While I can use boombox when I honk the horn, it still honks the regular horn once before it will play a sound. When I am in park, I can select, "Replace horn" but when I put the car in drive, it deselects and grays out. Is this normal? I can't imagine that it's supposed to be that way...

I've been looking for vinyl Tesla logos to place over the Tesla impression in the existing insert. Not sure if anyone knows what I'm talking about but I can't find anything online. I was looking for red to perhaps match the brakes.

I had Homelink in my M3 and never had a problem. Seems I’m having trouble configuring this in my MY. First the mirrors. Initially the box was not checked to fold the mirrors so I did check the box to try it out. I don’t like it though because when I back out of the garage the mirrors stay folded...

I bought into the wind noise argument on the M3. It hasn’t been as big an issue on the MY but has anyone tried a noise reduction kit for the doors? Did it make a difference? The particular one I’m looking at is from RPMTesla.

I finally got Sentry mode setup with the drive and tested it by honking so all is well there. My problem now is the dashcam icon at the top. When it has a red dot in the box, doesn't that mean it's recording? Is there a way to disable recording while it's parked at home? I know that under the...

I recently changed over from a 2018 M3 to a MY. My first mistake was simply taking the hub and drive (see photos below) and just plugging it in and expecting it to work. I noticed that I wasn't able to review sentry mode events so I brought the drive and checked it on my pc and realized it...

I have always bought white cars but when after Tesla changed the standard color to white and my white M3P was totaled, I chose to change up the color. I actually bought black but that was because I had it wrapped with a dark color. Even so, it's crazy how much dust shows on a dark color paint...

I've been waiting for Abstract Ocean to be back in stock on their highly touted LED replacement lights but it's just been too long for me. I know RPM Tesla and I think Evannex carries some also. Even Amazon has a version as well. Anyone have an opinion on any others besides AO? I am getting...

I have had Tesla insurance now for about 6 months or so. I began wondering if having Tesla insurance gives Tesla the right to monitor your driving habits as a method of determining rates. Simply put, if I have a lead foot but have no tickets, would Tesla have the right to increase my rates based...

My M3P was totaled after a hit-and-run. I took as much as I could out of the car. All of this is in really good condition and I'm simply pricing it to sell. Here's the thing; I'm not shipping it. Anyone interested will have to come to Temecula/Murrieta, CA. Here is what I have: Tuxmat Full...

While I have found a few posts about M3, I don't see much for MY and hard wiring a radar detector from near the mirror. I won't likely do the work myself but it would be nice if I could tell the installer where to tap into 12v. I know several people in their M3 used power at their center...

Picked up my Y a couple of days ago. I went to a Llummar tint shop but they told me straight out that they could not match the existing rear windows exactly. I have heard soooo much about XPEL that I started looking for a shop that does it in my area. Unfortunately the closest place is about 45...

I owned an M3P for 2 years. It was recently totaled and now I’ve ordered an MYP. I watched some YouTube comparisons where the driver commented that the ride seemed a bit smoother in the Y. I have read reports on these forums that the Y felt “sluggish” and that there was no difference in the...

Battery Day is on the 21st of this month. While I don't expect it to have an immediate impact, it did get me wondering. If the announcement is big enough and would affect the future value of my car, I might be tempted to wait if we're only talking about a few months. What say you?

I know I read somewhere that some that went with Tesla's financing were able to further reduce their rate from 2.49% down another .10-.15%. I just don't remember who they called or spoke to. Anyone have that experience?

I was looking over the order estimate and it shows something called an Order Fee of $100. What is that? I don't remember seeing that when I bought my first Tesla.

I asked the company that is going to do the wrap, how long to wait after delivery of car. He said there is no wait?? My first Model 3 required a couple of weeks before PPF. Is the timing different if you use a wrap first? I got a quote of $3900 for the wrap. I figure the PPF will cost around...

I don’t even know if using a referral code matters anymore. Is there any benefit and if there is, would I qualify? My 2018 Model 3 was recently totaled after a hit and run. On that car I had free supercharging. I had also paid just 2k for FSD. Do I lose all of that when buying the new car? I get...

Haven't been out much since the virus. Today was an exception though. My daughter was down from Minn and we were at one of those baby imaging places where they can create these 3d models from sonograms. Anyway, someone comes in and asks, "Do any of you have a white Tesla?" I look down at my...

There are a lot of things I love about my car, all of which most of you can attest to. I have only a very short list of complaints but Tesla communication/rumors has to be near the top. I remember when I bought my Model 3 in the latter part of 2018, there was a rumor (by Elon) that FSD would be...

I guess it’s been about a year since Tesla wrote to me and offered An FSD upgrade for 2k. I originally took delivery in September 2018. Now I am reading about these cool visualizations coming including stop signs etc but I’ve not been contacted for the HW3 upgrade. Will they get around to this...

Has anyone purchased the Goloho door seals and installed them on a white Tesla. It looks as though there are some areas including the vertical spaces where the black will show through. Are they visible?

Just wanted to share this experience To help others. First, mobile service told me they service the filters on site so that was the original plan but when I went to enter a service request on my phone, it forced me to select a service center. As it turns out, I wasn’t supposed to select heating...

So yes, once in a while I would get the message, “Regenerative braking limited”. Within a few minutes of driving, the message would go away and braking was restored. Now though, sometimes I get the message but often I don’t and I COMPLETELY lose regenerative braking. With the weight of the car...

Abstract Ocean. Then had it painted to match chrome delete. Also removed the Dual Motor logo from right side since the fonts don’t match:

When I bought the performance version almost a year ago now, there were no spoilers around. Badging was missing also but several months later I got the badging handled. I have requested the spoiler several times now. Twice it was scheduled to be installed and they contacted me to say it wasn’t...

I started noticing recently that there are multiple Sentry Mode events on my screen when I park in the garage. This never used to happen. Months ago, Tesla added the feature that turns off Sentry Mode when parked at home and for many months it has worked correctly. For some reason I will get an...

I’ve been using the stats app for many months and it’s worked flawlessly. Maybe a month ago, when I told Siri to, “Cool my car” it responded with, “Shortcuts will continue with your request.” That wasn’t surprising because it always relies with that response once but The second time I gave...

I don’t know how this is happening. I mean, how it’s physically possible. Won’t the car stop eventually? On a personal side, I feel like this sets back autonomous driving for the rest of us.

I’m a little embarrassed that I don’t know the answer but I’ve never intentionally tried to crash into something. If for example, I drove towards a concrete wall, would the car mechanically prevent me from crashing by stopping the car? I would also like to know if I was on a freeway trying to do...

I searched and searched but just couldn’t find anything in California that sounded good. I did like a plate that I saw that read, “UUDLOSE”. Made me laugh so I went to the website and did find, “UDDLOSE” and I actually bought it, but after receiving the notice that the plates were waiting...

I purchased my P3D+ in Oct last year and still have heard nothing. I quit asking about 3 months ago. Just wondering if they have been adding these on now. Edit: Can someone who has had theirs installed post a photo? Particularly if you have a white M3. I'm not even sure I want it but I would at...

Wasted an hour here today. I finally conceded that the only music I'm going to get on the screen of my P3 is through Slacker. I had read that others were able to create playlists at home or on mobile and then play them on demand, forward or backward etc in their car. That was fine with me. So I...

I watched the entire live stream and not one person asked if all vehicles equipped with FSD will be fully autonomous by the end of this year. It just seems like it’s jumping the gun a bit to be discussing a taxi service win the primary focus should be just getting the vehicles on the road first...

When I click on the charging symbol in the car, the charge current us set to 48 amps. Is that set correctly? I was thinking to myself that a normal outlet provides 15-20a end it doubled for the Tesla charger it would be 30-40 amps. I don’t know if I’ve ever changed that charging amp setting...

I finally got century mode working correctly but I’m just wondering now about parking the car in a parking lot. My understanding is that it will not record anything unless a window is broken? I would actually prefer if it would send me a message if someone was entering their car next to mine...

There are times when I go out to the garage and the car is completely off. No humming sound of ant sort. But, this seems to be the exception nowadays. I tried following some of the suggestions I found in the forum. I made sure all the apps were closed and even went as far as to turn off my...

So maybe I’m doing something wrong. Back when I first got the car, added a micro SD card to extend the time that the vehicles cameras will record. I thought that when Sentry Mode came out it would use that same disk. Anyone else do the same thing? When I try to enable Sentry Mode it will not...

I've tried to do some reading about the most recent software updates and what is being included. It seems that an update for one person may not include the same items as another person. I ask because I've been reading so much about Sentry and have really been looking forward to it. Unfortunately...

I'm just asking because the car is white and I would have preferred to go with white door wraps BUT it seemed to me that it wouldn't take long for them to get dirty from opening the doors. Has anyone tried it and how have they been to clean?

After I had a chrome delete done, I didn't like the original silver metallic on the 20" wheels. For some reason I had the bright idea of going with white wheels so I had them powder coated the same white as the car. From the get go I didn't like it. Looked like a retro wheel out of the 80s. I...

I guess I was surprised. I bought the car at the beginning of Nov,18 and only just now received the first response from California. I had to resubmit one document which was approved one day later. Now they tell me it can take another 3 months before I get the rebate check. In fairness, I didn’t...

I was happy to see this when I opened this months edition:

I recently had a chrome delete done by RPM Tesla and they did paint the front and rear T emblems. When I took my car to Tesla a few days ago to have the windshield replaced, they told my wife they had the dual motor emblems in and offered to put on the car. She accepted and then told me later...

I know most of you are waiting to have yours put on . My wife took the car in to replace the windshield this week and they asked her if she wanted them to put the Dual Motor emblem on. She of course said yes. The problem is, I already have chrome delete done so the T in the back is painted...

My wife called me 10 minutes ago to tell me that a rock from a truck ahead of her just cracked the windshield. This, after just covering the car completely in PPF. I have 1113 miles on the frigging thing. It’s the first time I’ve let her drive it. I’m just so mad right now, I can’t see straight...

I have a P3D with driving modes of Sport, chill and recently they added track. What are these other modes that I’ve heard about including insane, ludicrous, etc? Different cars? I can’t imagine anything faster than 0-60 in 3.3

I have read that this app can be used to open the car and other functions using Siri but I haven’t been able to make it work. The FAQ mentioned going to settings and then Siri shortcuts. I didn’t find any options or commands there that will allow Stats to unlock the car. Currently, when I tell...

Maybe I don’t get it. I don’t play video games in my car. I dont own any gaming consoles at home either. Yes, my kids have them but I don’t get why this is being added to a car. Seems like they could make better use of their time then calibrating which seat will have a fart sound. Maybe at 52...
