Before I generated a service ticket I thought I would try a reset (brake plus the steering wheel buttons) and that seems to have corrected the issue.

I'm guessing you're right about a sensor, since I went looking for similar posts and didn't find any. Curious it would coincide with the update... just lucky I guess. Thanks for your help!

I do, without fail.

I took advantage of the $3,000 offer for the new computer. I don't think the MCU3 was part of the deal, but I don't know for sure.

2018 Model 3 LR dual motor upgraded to HW3, Ver. 2022.44.30.10 Ever since the last update the car goes into park at every complete stop, with the message 'automatically parked to prevent roll away'. Hold is selected in UI. The only way I have found to prevent it is to apply the brakes while...

The odd thing is I can control the phone playlist on the car touchscreen, so it's connected. I just got the latest FSD Beta downloaded, would that just be a coincidence? Any help or ideas would be great. Thanks for your time!

Ahh, of course. All I need to do to evade the necessity is have one at the ready. I should have known that.

Thank you for the replies!

Hi, Not sure where to place this query, but I'm looking for some advice from the collective experience here. I have an early M3 with only 18,600 miles, but we are planning a trip from Colorado to Georgia. We have made the trip before, and it was the best cross-country trip I ever had. My concern...

Going from Denver to Tenn navigating to the next charger, midway got a message to "Stay below 75 to reach your destination." 5 minutes later another, "Stay below 70 to reach your destination". Another a few minutes later "Stay below 65..." I decided to just hit a closer charge station instead...

I wasn't happy with the force needed to shut the frunk, I could feel the sheet metal deflect under my hand. I took the spring out and stretched it slightly, just a little less pressure needed. Now there is no danger of denting the hood.

Your situational awareness saved the day there. Another thing about instant torque, people are not used to cars moving that fast. I enjoy the acceleration at my disposal and usually take advantage of it. I had an individual pull out in front of me who, judging by the distance between the light I...

Cathie Wood is a RockStar investor. I think the major disconnect is that we're in the midst of technological disruption. It also happened about a hundred years ago. . Things are changing. Within my life, it was science fiction to power transportation on sunlight. Tesla has moats around it...

"All that you hear is opinion", mine is I wish I had kept the '99 Dodge van 3 more years and put the $60K into the stock. I would be able to buy outright and have lots left. < Hindsight. A friend invested 120K a bit over a year ago when it was in the 300's, Yeah, do the math. I was wringing my...

I'm wondering how the hell a deer got on that highway...?

Check with your insurance carrier, mine fixed a chip for free - because that might save them from having to replace the windshield.

Most people historically wouldn't keep a car more than 10 years because at high milage they are worn/wearing out. I think comparing a Tesla to one of those mechanical monstrosities in terms of longevity isn't valid. I personally believe these cars will last much longer. Traditionally...

Spirited debate. We all have our own perspective. Mine in upgrading to HW3 is looking toward the future. Robo Taxi? My thought is to have a vehicle that can shuttle me around when I reach geezerhood. I don't want my kids to be forced to have the "We gotta get the keys from Dad" intervention. If...

I purchased it several months ago.

Got the $5,000 EAP in the 2018 DM LR M3 and enjoyed it greatly on cross-country trips, also love it in rush hour stop & go. Don't use it at all in-city. Recently upgraded to HW 3 for $3000, so a total of $8000 for F$D. :confused: I remember having the "We need to get the keys from Dad now that...

I'm wondering if the service centers have some discretion in pricing. Perhaps one would be prompted to better price a service in an attempt to secure a new customer...? The $ differences I've seen remind me of the old dealership model.

I had the upgrade accomplished last week. Denver SC said it needed to be done in-house because they had found that many customer's WiFi integrity was an issue in the firmware update. They also said that doing them in batches in-house was more efficient. It was done in about 3 hours. Smooth...

Because of the minimalist design I expect most if not all functions will eventually be addressed by voice command. On a long road trip driving around 80, in route to another supercharger using NOA I get a message - "Stay below 75 to reach your destination." A few miles later Another, Stay...

You could "vent" the car from your app, which lowers the front windows an inch or so.

Thank you!

How do you tell the month of manufacture? VIN just lists the year.

I always do my best proofreading right after I hit "Send".

If you are doing it yourself or getting it free, great. You can save a few bucks. If you are paying to have it done, figuring the additional miles you might get out of the tires as opposed to what it costs - it's pretty much a wash.

Boomer here, @65 I have owned a lot of cars, my first one was a '61 Chevy Impala and cost $300. Having never touched a M3 I handed the check for $60k and drove it away. I was 50% excited about the car and 50% terrified at spending so much. Within 4 blocks of the service center, I maneuvered...

Regardless of the motivation for the OP, reading the thread suggests there is some ambiguity concerning electromagnetic radiation. Without a certain degree of scientific literacy, it is quite normal for the void in understanding to be filled with suspicion or even fear. Asking a question most...

So, it's been eliminated from the design? I had assumed you closed it off yourself. Without a "port" to the interior, the bass response is diminished since the sub is in the trunk.

That deck cut-out is a bass port, the sub is in the trunk...

I would have to agree that putting the $ into Tesla stock would yield more value now. That said, I do have EAP from 2018, in a fully loaded M3 ( that's all they were ready to deliver just before the federal rebates expired) so we spent more than originally intended, but I do want the car to be...

My second favorite feature! ICE cars spending fuel to get tons in motion and then turn all of that potential energy into heat - while I'm feeding my battery with it! I can't help but feel how wrong that is now. Kinda like how they used to throw most of the rocket away after a launch...:confused:

Man, I have a classic HP '66 Mustang coup, Shelby suspension, the whole thing completely restored. Over 20 years I have poured treasure into and bled on. I loved the exhaust note on that thing, I've had people follow me home wanting the specs on the exhaust. I took delivery on a DM LR M3, in...

Wishing you good luck!

That must have been what I was thinking about, thanks!

I'd swear I read somewhere a few months back that Tesla removes special features if the car is sold because the original owner paid for it not the new owner. I may be mistaken, and I don't agree with it if it's true. If it were, then when the seller buys another Tesla or a new one then the...

I'm curious, If on a downgrade and switched into N, gain speed (*potential) and switch into D without any input from the accelerator - Would the car drop into regen? * using potential energy to feed my battery gives me great pleasure when I see all the brake lights around me light up converting...

The car can sense if there is someone in each seat, I believe that's how it activates the airbags and seatbelt warning.

You might try putting some weight on the driver's seat.

Yes, in manufacturing it's known as infant mortality. Sorry for the bad luck.

Every. Time. It's two-step verification, added security. I'll endure the very minor inconvenience for the piece of mind.

I wonder if the owners that get it purchased FSD. I have a late 2018 model without the new computer and didn't throw the extra $ for it, but I did go for EAP and have everything except traffic control signs/signals and trashcans. I have been anticipating a day when my car doesn't qualify for...

I hadn't seen this anywhere on the forum, apologies if it's redundant.

More like the car possessed me than I joined anything. I was helpless the first time I put my foot in it.

Great thread. Tesla recently delivered its millionth car, so take all the problems you have read about here and put that total against that number for perspective. 2 years in Sept., almost 14,000 miles. I also have had nothing but joy out of this thing. Wiping it down in the first week of...

I was surprised it was available, but like the plate says...

I back mine in for better access to the plug. I painted an 18" long by 1/2" wide black line on the garage floor, and just when the line disappears from the backup camera image it's perfect.
