    Tesla Software 2019.16.3

    I think you missed my point. The rest of my post said that I believed that ELDA had problems and that I felt it should either be fixed or removed completely. That was a response to the suggestion that it just be updated to allow us to turn it off permanently. If it is dangerous under driving...

    Tesla Software 2019.16.3

    Uncle Don, what software version are you on? If you're on a version lower than 2019.16.2 then you don't have ELDA yet, which would be why it isn't preventing you from wandering outside of lane lines.

    Tesla Software 2019.16.3

    The problem with making it a permanent toggle switch is that everyone will turn it off and leave it off. Nobody goes fiddling around with the toggle switches on the touch screen to enable a feature in mid-drive, unless they happen to be stopped at a long red light, and that's not a reasonable...

    Tesla Software 2019.16.3

    My initial thought when I read about the new ELDA feature was that it sounds like a way to enforce use of the turn signaler for lane changes. This won't affect me too much since I always signal my lane changes, but it does seem like overreach, IMO. I don't have the update yet though (I'm still...

    Not missing this

    I remember the first time I drove past the gas station closest to home in my Tesla and thought to myself, "well, I won't ever be going there again!" (except maybe to clean my windshields!) :-P

    Tesla Model 3 initial impressions (and compare to. BMW 5-series)

    I didn't even consider "exclusivity" when buying my Model 3. I guess I understand why someone might want to have a distinctive car, but that just isn't important to me. I bought mine because I love the idea of electric vehicles, I think it is a well-made car, and is good value for the cost.

    Tesla Model 3 initial impressions (and compare to. BMW 5-series)

    Following up on this: it took a few tries to get Home Link set up, but I finally got it to work. It seems like the issue was that you have to hold the garage door opener remote control very close to the bumper when pairing the car with the garage. Once it detected the signal though, the rest...

    Tesla Model 3 initial impressions (and compare to. BMW 5-series)

    I can't believe I didn't know about this feature. I am going to set it up as soon as I get home tonight! I found a YouTube video showing how to set it up, so hopefully my garage door supports it. Awesome, thanks.

    Tesla Model 3 initial impressions (and compare to. BMW 5-series)

    Great writeup. One thing that caught my eye (sorry, not the main point of your post, I know) is the garage door. Which smart home garage door are you using, and what do you think of it? I was looking at the Chamberlain myQ, but I see that there are several other options.

    Don’t use suction cup devices on the piano black

    Wow, this is obviously disappointing. Sorry this happened. One thing I'm curious about though is why people are mounting their phones in their Model 3. The Bluetooth integration with the tablet display is good enough for my needs, but then I'm not really much of a power user! What are people...

    Backup camera went black

    Just to follow up on my previous post. I took my Model 3 in for service due to a turn signal issue and the blank screen reverse camera issue. They replaced the turn signal module, and investigated the issue with the reverse camera. They said that the camera issue is known in all models, and...

    Backup camera went black

    I never had this problem until I got the 2019.5.4 update yesterday, and now it seems to happen almost every time I put the car in reverse. It usually resolves on it's own after a few minutes, but by then it's too late and I've already backed out from wherever I was parked. Has anyone reported...

    Why did you purchase a Model 3 and what were your other options?

    I have wanted a Tesla since 2008 when the first Roadster came out, but it wasn't practical at the time. I figured if I had saved enough or the price came down enough, and a more practical model came out by the time I needed to replace my old car, I would get one. The timing of the Model 3 and...

    When did AP gain your trust?

    I took a nap at the wheel yesterday, so I guess yesterday? Just kidding. I'm a bit nervous in MAD MAX mode, but otherwise it's fine. Have any of you tried pressing down on the drive stalk four times to turn on autopilot? If not, try it!

    Supercharger price hikes: what's your opinion?

    False trichotomy. I just bought my Model 3 a month ago, and just got my wall connector charger installed this week. I have been getting free supercharging through a friend's referral code, and will get another five months of free supercharging (assuming Tesla honors preexisting referrals). I...
