Just updated my mobile all and car to latest software and I don’t see an interior view option in Sentry mode for my 2018 Model 3… does this not exist for older 2018 without the FSD computer?

Given that Tesla no longer makes the silver color for the 3s, wondering if people have any experience if whether a used silver Model 3 actually gets a premium or discount or neither compared with other used 3s of different colors? Thoughts? Data?

Don’t want to break any rules so was wondering if there’s a “for sale” section of the forums. Have a silver Tesla Model 3 LR AWD with 7K miles in LA/OC. Thinking of selling and buying an MY.

For the last few months, I've been in a summer rental and leave my car in an assigned spot in the complex. I now leave Sentry Mode on 24/7 and am wondering if anyone else has some long-term data on this. Any issues with the cameras or computer staying on 24/7? Between dash cam and Sentry Mode...

Hello all- When I got my 3 back in 2018, I used to see cars rendered in traffic on the left hand side of the screen below the speedometer. I can’t exactly recall when this happened, but it’s been at least a year or so since I last remember seeing them (I only use my car once or twice every...

Ive had my M3 for over a year now and up u til two updates ago or so (3-4 months?), I still saw the dancing car visualizations when I was driving. Now all I see is the proximity alert lines but no cars, trucks, bikes, pedestrians, etc. Has Tesla officially removed this for all the folks that...

For those of you at the reveal event, how many driving prototypes did they have for the test rides?

3.9s?

Updated to the latest software and noticed I don’t have any more dancing cars while driving (there are now no other cars besides mine in the graphic). I don’t have AP but for the last year still had the dancing car visualizations based on the cameras and ultrasonics. Does anyone know when/why...

Has anyone without AP or FSD gotten V10 yet?

Currently getting a “temporary maintenance” And “unknown error” message in the mobile app while trying to connect.

If you plan to store your 3 for several weeks in a garage with no electrical outlet, can you just disconnect the 12V to prevent any significant battery vampire drain?

So my buddy who’s 3 got hit is still waiting for Tesla to give him an ETA on when parts will be shipped. It’s been almost 4 weeks so far since his car went into the Tesla-authorized body shop in SoCal. This is pretty painful to see, since once they get the parts, it will still be 3-4 weeks for...

A friend of mine got into a fender bender in his Model 3. The Tesla-authorized body shop says parts (bumper cover, hood, other misc stuff) are going to take 4-6 weeks to get from Tesla. I thought Tesla and Elon specifically said they were improving their supply chain service last summer so...

I was hoping for more but it’s literally like Franz took the Model 3 and stretched it in photoshop. I’m not a fan, sadly. From Twitter:

staring at a screen telling me to hold tight after a countdown that meant nothing....

for all those who aren’t going to the event, I’m surprised none of the owners clubs have organized a viewing party at a bar or restaurant... (not volunteering lol).

Super glad Tesla has added the Sentry mode to the Model 3. Some things I’d like to see added: - Mobile alerts (can turn on/off) for both the stage 1 alert and the stage 2 alert - a screenshot of whatever triggered the alert in the mobile app - option to view the footage when you’re in the car...

Just got 2019.5.15 today and noticed I still don’t have Sentry mode. What gives? I thought Sentry mode was released with the previous update (2019.5.4)?

Here in SoCal it’s been rainy but overnight temperatures still in the 50s. From 8pm last night to 8am this morning, my battery has lost 6 miles of range in the garage! No big WiFi downloads. What gives? It also takes a good 30 seconds for the app to connect with the car. When I first got the...

So I charged my Model 3 overnight, going from about 12% to 90% and this morning I saw a notification that charging had completed and I had 279 miles of range. About 3 hours later I got another notification that charging had “completed” again and when I checked the app, it said 282 miles. Note...

Just curious what other Tesla owners are feeling in light of all the changes we’ve seen happen at Tesla in the last week. I know the price changes are the main driver of current sentiment right now. So share your thoughts.

Would love to go if you have an extra ticket/+1. Let me know, thanks!

Tesla has already lowered 0-60 for Performance cars a few months ago and now they increased top speed from 155 to 162. RWD LR cars are having their range extended from 310 to 325 miles. But nothing for NonP AWD??? C’mon Elon, give us an extra 0.5s 0-60!!!! I know they said all cars have an...

Per Elon’s tweet, what do we think the announcement will be? If you select other, note it below.

Sorry if this was already answered, but do you need to have purchased EAP in order to get Sentry Mode or is that available to all Model 3s and S/X with AP2.5 hardware? Also, unrelated question, but do you get alerts through the app when Sentry mode is triggered or only when the alarm is...

I ordered mine a week ago and no info on shipping yet. Has anyone who ordered it when it came to the Tesla online shop received theirs yet?

Curious what everyone is experiencing for vampire drain

Had zero issues with phone as key on my iPhone prior to 48.12.1. Now after updating, it frequently doesn’t work, asking me to tap the key. Anyone else have issues after the update?

Since updating to 48.12.1, I’ve noticed that when opening the Tesla app, it now takes about 20-23 seconds for the car to wake up. It used to take 5-7 seconds before. Anyone else have this issue? Nothing has changed with my WiFi or parking location.

Service Center used tape to mark areas where there were issues with the paint. When I picked up my car, the tape was removed (paint issues still tbd likely via repaint). There are noticeable paint residue marks (see photos). I tried using a microfiber and some distilled water but still...

I was at a supercharger earlier today and saw a bunch of 3s charging. Since they were all side by side, it was very easy to see that some of the “Dual Motor” badges were crooked. Make sure to check your badges if/when you get them installed!

Is it in 48.1?

I’m trying to see if the Avatar in my Tesla app is “silver” like my car or “white” - very hard to tell but I’m leaning towards a white car. Can someone else who has a silver (not the metallic grey/midnight one but the bright silver) post a pic of of their Tesla app? Thanks!

Had a 2018 75D loaner while my 3D was being serviced for a couple of days. On the same streets and highway, I noticed there was much less road/wind noise than I was used to - it was great! I felt less...fatigued if that’s the right word when compared to my 3D after driving for long stretches...

Tesla needs to fire the engineer who designed the interior lighting for the Model 3. The dome lights in particular are terribly dim - every other car I’ve owned has dome lights 10x brighter. When I pickup older family members, I am forced to use my cell phone light to help them into the...

Any noticeable improvements/changes? PS Happy Turkey Day!

Does anyone have any info on the annual service plan for Model 3? All I could find on Tesla’s website was for the S and X...

This is the body shop Tesla uses in Orange County for paint repair. They seem to have pretty good Yelp reviews but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with them directly.

Service Center is finally working on all the issues identified at delivery. After pointing out approximately 8 paint issues (1 nib/bubble, 1 scratch, 1 rash, and 5 sub-clear coat blemishes), the service advisor said that for all the paint issues they’ve just been sending the cars to have panels...

...and why?

So I’ve thought the sound system in the Model 3 was great when listening to Slacker. Vocals sound crisp and the immersive sound setting seems to work really well. When I stream the same songs from my iPhone, the sound seems... flat and vocals less crisp. Is listening to music on a usb drive...

Noticed when I was driving that a speaker icon appears just to the left of the car/autopilot render on the screen - seems pretty random and never noticed it before. Looked at owners manual but didn’t see the icon or any mention of it. Wonder what it represents.

Since this car is now going to be my daily I’m looking for some recommended car washing regimens. Namely, what setup do you use (brand/product)? I’ve been looking at the kit from Chemical Guys which seems to be a pretty respected brand (14-Piece Arsenal Builder Car Wash Kit with TORQ Foam...

As another posted, my dash cam icon has an X icon next to it. Worked fine on 39.5 and 39.6 and when I got into my car today after installing 39.7 last night, it seemed to work fine with red record icon on. Got out of the car to grab something from the house come back in and got ready to leave...

So haven’t checked my rear AC in awhile although I know it worked fine a week ago. Today I sat in back seats while my AC was on auto set to 70 (it’s 77 outside). The rear AC was blowing warm/hot air while the front was blowing cool air. Anyone else have this issue? When I set it to manual...

Just received my Tesla frunk and trunk mats and while the frunk fits perfectly, I noticed the trunk one is ill-fitting particularly on the left side. Also the end of the mat closest to the rear seats doesn’t expand out to fill the contour. Does anyone else have these mats? What’s your experience?

BEGIN RANT: I've been pretty patient, trying to be understanding that this company was trying to hit their 3Q profitability numbers. But this is getting frustrating and absolutely ridiculous. Since delivery almost three weeks ago, I have e-mailed, called and texted with 5 different people at...

Ignorance is bliss. As I was charging my 3, I started to notice that the gap between driver front door and front fender seemed a bit on the wider side. Checked the front passenger side door and the corresponding gap seemed maybe 1/4 inch narrower. Anyone else have this issue? Interestingly...

Ive been wondering under what conditions the front and rear motors are used. I assume under hard acceleration both are used, but what about freeway cruising? Stop and go? It would be neat if Tesla had a graphic animation that showed which of the motors were being used at a given time. At the...
