Recently I have noticed this light coming on when the seat is empty. It does go off when full sized person is in the seat. I assume there is a sensor issue. Anyone else have this problem?

Does anyone know if this is coming? I often forget my phone in the charger (with the door closed) and then run back to get it, given both my phone and car could go missing. Seems like it would be easy to have a chime go off to remind you to take your phone, much like 'normal' cars do with...

The title says it all. Left my car for 4 days at the airport with Sentry Mode on. Had 80% battery so I was not too worried about power and figure I would watch on my phone and turn it off it drain was an issue. After 2 days my phone lost communication with the car. When I got back, the car would...

Screen went "crazy". I did a soft reset and that fixed it. Hopefully this won't happen again, as it seemed more like a software glitch than hardware issue.

Maybe someone with more knowledge in the area can tell me about this, but this morning I had dew on my car and this made AP unable to work. Of course, frost, snow, sleet and at time heavy rain do the same. I even once got splashed by a passing truck that blinded a camera turning AP off. In...

In one of the parking lots I park at they have public chargers. About 5% of the time I am in that lot I plug. Basically only when. 1. I need a charge, 2. a charger is open, 3. I know I am leaving before the charger time limit would be up. 4. I can't say I do it all the time, but I have note...

I think the title says it all. Thank god the car is good or Tesla would have been dust long ago. If only Elon would put his ego aside and put someone in place to run the company in a competent manner and let him focus on product innovation.

So I did not buy EAP or FSD back in November when I bought my M3 LR AWD. I did not like it on my test drive and the amount was more than I wanted to pay for something I did not like. After my 30 day trail, I Iiked EAP but did not use it enough to warrant the cost - it was fun to show friends...

I live in the rainy PNW and I have to say the auto windshield wipers are terrible, made worse by the requirement to take your eyes off the road to go to Manual wipers. I have to admit I am getting used to hit the "one wipe" button on my stock and then stabbing for the manual option on the screen...

I was thinking about putting together the calculations on the optimum way to plan road chip charging and highway speeds. Before I do I am wondering if someone has already tackled this? If not I am also wondering were I can find the key data points? The key thing I would like to figure out is...

Really weird one today. Pulling out of a road side parking space my steering wheel started trying to turn the opposite way and I had to fight with it to keep it turned to exit the spot. This went on for 15 seconds as I had to let traffic pass by before I pulled out. Not sure if it would actually...

I had my first drive in an ICE today after a few months in my Model 3. When I sat down in the driver's seat I was overwhelmed by all the buttons and the white names printed on them. It really felt weird looking down at all the "stuff". Of course I left the car running when I parked as I forgot...

Really the new release adds fart noises? My windshield wipers are a danger to use in the rain, and the update they give us is fart noises. I am sure we all have a long list of updates that should happen before fart noises. Besides, if you were going to do 'whoopee cushion' mode, it should be...

The cool thing about the M3 is the car can be improved over wifi after purchase. Now that I have 2000miles on mine here are a few software changes that I think would make a big difference: 1. This one would solve all - make the interface customizable. In theory they could let you decide what...

Not sure where to post this, but I had occasion to visit a supercharger at about 3am recently and plugged in was a VW eGolf. The driver was there so I had to ask him what was going on? At first he was a bit skittish, but then opened up: - He had the gear need mounted to removable aluminum...

like many Canadians of a certain age I think in feet and lbs for most things. Yes I can convert to metric but I have to think about it. It way more intuitive for me to see I am 12” from something rather than 30cm. I would love the option setting different units for proximity than speed. Am I...

I was cruising down an empty divided highway this morning using TACC. All for the sudden alarms go off and the car started braking aggressively. I took back control and kept going without incident as no one was around or behind me. The only thing near me was an overpass the was casting a dark...

I love my model 3, but I have to wonder if it was ever tested in the rain. At here in the Pacific Northwest we have the rainy season upon us and the Model 3 has some rather silly design issues: Open the trunk in the rain and the water rushes in. Can't say I have had a car that had this issue...

When I received my Model 3 after ridiculously close inspection I found an issue on the driver side door. It looked/felt like silicone around the size of a dime on the surface. Back to the detail shop and they made it disappear. BUT they said there was still a fleck under the clear coat. At the...

Is this just crazy? The temp has been cold 2*-10*C (near freezing) and I do like to press down the "gas" pedal. (what the heck to do you call the go pedal on an EV?)

I am new to EV's and I am wondering what the charging etiquette is? In my area lots of the public chargers are free in order to promote more EV's. As I have these free chargers at work and other places I go to regularly I am opting to plug in there rather than at home. The chargers I use are...

Wow, what a dump question - how do I turn off the car when I stop driving? It seems like the AC keeps running. Car is nice and warm when I get in, but it is draining the battery.

BC law allows you to have your smart phone as long as it is 'securely fixed to the car'. Up until now I have used a magnet mount in my car and this is legal. Does anyone know if the Model 3 charge cradle meets the definition of being securely fixed to the car? If it does not on it's own I am...

title says it all, I was told I was able to get two fobs with M3 when I pick it up next week. I have a very recent VIN, but I am not sure if that matters. Anyone else told this?

I keep reading on these boards that you should be willing to pay a bit extra or put up with some inconvenience as you are supporting a higher purpose. I am all for clean air and advancing technology, but I bought a Tesla for purely selfish reasons. It is fun to drive, goes fast, looks cool and...

I decided not to have EAP on my vehicle. I hated when I did a test drive, but I get that it may have been because it was new to me. The more I read about it, the happier I am I did not get it though as it seems it you have to really pay attention the entire to make sure it does do something...

About 2 feet from where I park I have 20amp 240 plug. I am tempted to just buy the adapter and use this as my charger when I need a home charge. I drive about 60 miles most days so overnight I should be able to top up my car easily. I have a charging station at work (but spend as much time out...
