    service

    Just have to blow a little... Service notice on the car, something to the effect pull and replace micro card, if this doesn't fix the issue schedule service. So I pull and replace and nothing changes, schedule service, weeks pass, and arrived this morning at the service center. Something so...

    just what is configuration

    After several miscarriages of software downloads I asked service what might be wrong. The answer while probably correct is mystifying to me. Basically, they say: each car has different configurations, and software that is sent out isn't always intended for the makeup of a certain car. So 2021...

    supercharger location finder?

    On my model 3 there is a place to tap on the screen to bring up superchargers in the area. I can not find anything on the Plaid other than bothering to punch in the question on navigation. And even then it is skimpy on the info. Isn't there a find charger button anywhere?

    AP wish changes

    I have one wish on improving AP, Coming up to a red light the car tends to hurry up to the light and brake late. This is compounded when there is a series of lights and the car tries to reach intended speed when the natural disposition would be to slowly pull up to the next red light. btw, what...

    front camera failure

    ok, evidently this was part of my previous driving issue with my Plaid. Service fixed some errors that I had, now noticed I have intermittent none functioning front and side cameras. The result is no auto pilot, cruise of course, and lots of other related failures. Hi beams, auto window...

    new Plaid bitching

    I bought a beautiful new red Plaid. Absolutely the best car I've ever owned. That lasted two days. Then I got a list of failure codes and a worthless car. So two days of driving heaven and two weeks of "we will start working on your car when we get the parts." WTF man. FedX from Fremont, do...

    driving the X on unimproved roads?

    Just wondering if the suspension raises enough to feel secure driving on rutted and bumpy roads. Or does the car feel like a primadonna?

    fix for door handle not returning?

    I've been manually slapping the outside door handle in for some time. When I let go of the handle it just stays hanging out. Is there a known fix? Requires removal of the interior trim? 2018 model 3

    automatic stopping for lights

    Feels like the car waits too long to slow for red lights and uses the friction brakes. I'd like it better if the car slowed using the regen function.

    stop at light braking

    I'd like to see a rural/city option, so when you are not in city driving the car would use regen braking only to come to a stoplight/sign. It feels like the current coding has the car braking as if its in traffic.

    bouncing window

    about 70% of the time when I press for window up the window starts up but it is rejected down immediately. This might happen a couple of times before the window will finish up. This has been on and off again over the last year, intermittently, maybe more often in the last few software packages...

    market for model 3 motors?

    Is there a market for these motors? I have a front and rear motor I can sell.

    You can open a rear locked rear door from inside

    For the dismantler trying to remove the rear doors. No need to pull the door trim card. Look under the window switch. There is a tork screw, remove it. Pry off the plastic trim piece that the screw was on. You will see some red electric wires and a small hole. If you are extremely flexible and...

    Salvage model 3, misc parts for sale

    I'm going to open a thread for anyone needing parts, parts for sale, discussions on how or vent. I've been bothering the Model S forum and used up all their goodwill. I picked up a 3 on auction. All I wanted was the battery. I've been stripping it down. It was an odd total, every bag blew but...

    Wonder what Tesla will do for power in Germany.

    Teslas' planned plant in Germany is going to need electricity. Germany has very expensive power costs and into the future, those costs look to grow. Solar plants and wind have not been especially fruitful in Germanies latitude. I guess the decision was made, it is what it is. Between labor...

    regen acting unusual

    Over the last few days, the behavior of the regen has varied from normal to near nothing or some feeling in between. The first occasion I noticed low regen was backing out of the garage. Indoor/car temp 50 degrees, outside temp 30. I considered it a fluke or the car monitors zip code weather...

    undefinable dinging

    Hopped in the car with a passenger yesterday. The car had a new chime, very regular, and a bit different in tone than the obstacle avoidance chatter. OK, maybe it senses something backing out of the garage, nope, maybe backing up, nope, try forward, nope. Meanwhile looking for cautions on the...

    Jack Rickard's take

    If you have a nearly infinite amount of free time his youtube has some interesting thoughts. Tough, competition, stainless, build explanation, and more, plus his personal observations that you may find abraiding. He is my latest guru, your impression is bound to be different. search him or evtv

    What Tesla should have done with range.

    It has become a recurring theme on the Tesla forums, increased range, losing range, range worry, and it all is a waste of time and energy. The car screen should have an icon showing the amount of energy in the "tank". As in half a tank or a third of a tank, just like an ICE car would have had...

    regenerative braking to friction braking ratio

    When driving on "auto-pilot" and the sensors decide to brake for a stop ahead how much of the braking is done by the motor? How much is added by the wheel brakes? If the car should have been able to see stopped cars ahead and seems to run full (set ) speed up to a threshold (some drivers might...

    tesla selling without storefronts?

    I would like to know from those who have been following the subject how potential owners will get a chance to see and drive a Tesla before buying? As expensive as storefronts are I don't understand how people new to the brand will feel good about buying a car off a website, sight unseen.

    could cameras show parked car's condition to your phone?

    I was just wondering how my car is doing some 3000 miles away. IT would be a nice feature to be able to get the car's cameras to "report" conditions. In my case, I could see if I closed the garage door. If the roof fell in...

    Text reading

    A pretty nice feature on my two-year-old Subaru was that it would read texts to me when I was driving. I don't even get texts when I am parked in the tesla. Have I overlooked something?

    Auto pilot

    I should have asked before I bought the 3, will EAP ever become a self-driving car? Drive through cities, stopping at stop lights, I just saw Waymo is offering driverless taxi service in Phoenix. I know at this time EAP isn't OUT yet, but one thing I find disconcerting is it not recognizing...

    whine on decell and accell

    I am new to my 3. It seems to me the first day the car didn't have a whine. Now I get a noticeable whine when lifting off of accel., it also whines on acceleration. It is as if the rear differential (on a ICE car) was going out. I suppose it is the speed controller. but not sure if the noise is...
