    Any ideas what this sound might be?

    Interesting... In nearly 3 years, 20k miles I haven't experienced a rock getting wedged in like this before (or in any other car in the past). And odd how it conveniently fell out after I parked at the service center to complain about the noise. 🤔 Hoping it didn't cause any damage to the...

    Any ideas what this sound might be?

    Hi all, After a quick shopping errand this evening, I returned to my 2018 M3P and as I backed out (or moved forward), I heard this crazy sound. It sounds like my exhaust fell off the car and was being dragged along the road... Oh wait that was my trusty 240sx in college haha! I'm linking a...

    Paint chips on hood after 2,000 miles?

    Well if the OP has several chips already as he states then even PPF may not sit flush. I have seen installs where the PPF will have a little ridge over imperfections. The installers said that sometimes it's the effect of preexisting blemishes. Perhaps a re-spray/paint of the front end at a...

    How can this be....?

    Simple physics.... Shortest distance between two points is a straight line! Autopilot got tired of you taking the long route

    Videos playing on the web browser

    Ahh - thanks for clarifying! Thought v10 was only limited to Netflix, Hulu, and not the in-browser codecs. Good to know. Thanks!

    Software Update.

    Also make sure Sentry mode is off

    Videos playing on the web browser

    Is this new and something that was not disclosed? I am able to now see videos gets played on websites like ESPN and CNN on the browser. Previously I would get a message that said 'video playback is not supported'. Awesome that they got it to work. The audio though is overlapping with the...

    TIFU: I left my wallet at home and my phone died!

    Yeah you could have just used another soccer parents phone to download the Tesla app there and login to access the car.

    Some help with CupHead?

    Did anyone manage to figure out how to get past this screen when playing Cuphead?

    Samsung phone issues

    I have a Note 8 and haven't experienced any major Bluetooth issues in my year with the car other than maybe about 3 or 4 times it taking a little longer to unlock

    Model 3 mud guards

    The Canadian/Tesla version appear to be small and discrete. If they are getting the actual job done ie preventing debris from being kicked onto the paint then they seem like the best option to me. Just trying to understand why several folks here don't like these.

    Model 3 Mud Flaps for saving the dirt from getting on the paint

    @Pony can you please post more photos/angles of your car so we can see if these stick out a bit or are totally flush? Both front and rear wheels please! Thanks so much!

    Sharing PPF/Ceramic/Tint Video

    Cool video - what film did they use? Also - did they not remove the front emblem to install the film on the hood?
  15. Arif

    Bought used 3 privately, transporter in accident, can’t access my car, battery at 32%, now what?

    You should tweet at Elon asking when the 'Come to Me from Trailer' button will be available as part of Super Smart Summon to solve this!! ;)

    MASTER THREAD: 2019.36.2.1 - new HOLD mode and other features

    Yeah mine was on Roll prior to update and even after the update. I had to manually change it to the new Hold setting. For someone that was already using Roll with one pedal most of the time, Hold seems more refined and effective for coming to a complete stop from under 10mph.

    DIY Ceramic coating vs professional

    For those that did the DIY ceramic coating, did you do any paint corrections to remove swirl marks with an orbital polisher or anything? If not then do you see them under the glossy finish?

    Can someone with FSD help me out with a picture?

    Use it as a chance to negotiate down the price. If the dealer cant tell you that it has FSD for a fact then surely he can't sell you with a markup.

    Is Suntek PPF just as good as XPel?

    @DCEV thanks for the reply. I've been calling installers too and coincidentally had a very long, detailed conversation with David about a Suntek installation. I've also narrowed down to Suntek Ultra and looking to now just settle on a shop. David was definitely very patient of all my questions...

    Is Suntek PPF just as good as XPel?

    @DCEV which film and installer did you end up using? I am also on the DC area and going through this same comparison for my Model 3 so wanted to ask how your experience has been?

    Dropping off for PPF (1st time handing over the card) - Pin to Drive

    Just a clarification - if the PPF is pre-cut (my xpel installer said they precut them), then does it mean that it's not going to wrapped on the edges? I saw them demo a hood install and there was about half an inch beyond the edges that they said they wrap over...

    EAP taken away without notice.

    Yeah just verify if it's something that you paid for initially. It's a sizeable amount so there should be a line item to account for it in any paper trails and financing/credit card payment. My original window sticker said EAP but I knew it didn't have it. I had them reprint me a new one. And...

    Slacker on demand not working?

    It was reported by several users that the on-demand functionality went away with software V10. Hopefully it will come back at some future update...

    CLK AMG vs P3D... at a left turn of all places.

    Oh man why you messing with a 10 year old car that wasn't known for handling! Poor guy nearly lost control while eating away at his tire life..

    Tesla V10 software update rollout: post here if you are still waiting

    So to use Netflix one would need to be in park and on WiFi, right? But charging stations dont offer WiFi yet and unless most folks have an independent wifi device, it's going to be tethering to your phones data plan to really utilize Netflix, right?

    Why can't I see both Battery Percentage and Miles??!

    Or an easier option for them to develop if they can't show both at the same time would be to make the icon tappable. Tap on it and it would flip from battery % indicator to remaining miles and vice versa...

    Supercharger - Arlington, VA

    Just tried several stalls and none had power. Used summon to keep the car moving down the stalls but gave up after about checking half a dozen. There were no other cars around today so looks like there might be some outage.

    What Kind of Car Did The Model 3 Replace?

    2015 Audi S5 convertible (haven't sold it just yet), and had a E93 BMW M3 convertible prior to my Model 3 Performance.... Enjoying the eerily quiet cabin now!

    Sentry mode instructions?

    Any ideas why Sentry Mode isn't enabled by default? Remembering to turn it on from Controls or the App after parking everytime is just an extra step that is easily missed when in a rush!

    What happens in 5 seconds driving a 3SR vs a 3P+ starting at zero.

    You forgot to add that you would be in jail with a neck pain from the instant whiplash and a ear to ear smile from the 3P! That smile will likely get wiped away fast when inside that jail cell...lol

    Supercharger - Arlington, VA

    Itsuo - Not sure why you kept getting disconnected. I'm getting charged up as I type this without any issues. I've seen several others getting juiced up as well. Hopefully you will have better luck next time!

    Has Any P3D+ Owners Gotten Carbon Fiber Spoiler?

    Got mine installed just this morning in the Northern VA area. Pretty good fit using the 00-A part number!

    Whoa! Come on tesla!

    Main reason I am wary of using Teslafi or 3rd party apps requiring my Tesla account credentials.... Another option that Tesla could offer would be have a separate passwords - one for managing your account, and another one that allows the app to control just the driveability aspect of the...

    Just picked up new car - couple of issues- Should I return it?

    The rattles would bother me ALOT! And they may never be able to isolate, or fix them and may even create new ones. I would return and order a new one. Next time around don't take delivery until you drive it and find it to be to your liking!

    How will Full Self Driving deal with turning into perpendicular fast-moving traffic?

    Correct me if I am wrong but our Tesla's are only equipped with cameras/radar and not LIDAR for its autonomous driving. I remember driving with AP in January and we had just a little bit of wet snow coming down but it was sticking all over the car. Within a few minutes AP became unavailable...

    Supercharger - Arlington, VA

    Thursday night I charged up at a rate of 75kw. Today I only got around 25kw and even as low as 16kw. Used stalls 9A and 9B for both instances and with zero other cars charging around me. I am sure these numbers will go back to the standard 75kw range but just wanted to share today's experience...

    window keeps coming down when trying to go up?

    Yup...have this same problem since I got the car on 12/31. In my 1200 odd miles so far, it's the only real issue that I have come across so far.

    Crane was setup last night, transformer switched overnight, lots of noise haha! Also got to speak with the Tesla energy rep that was performing the site inspection. He said the app will indicate when the charger is officially active. He noticed some problems with the wiring so those corrections...

    MR No Longer Available to Configure

    Actually just head over to the Model Y forums and you will be surprised by the number of TMC members that have already placed an "order" for the Model Y. Yes, they have coughed up 2500 for something still very far away.
