Wondering if there has been any news about this. Last I heard they were talking about March.

i was glad i was driving an EV instead of ICE with a tank full of gas. I know there is no path to ground but that lightning was right on top of me. But I suspect it might have been an EMP from the lightning that knocked the screen offline and changed the temp setting. I wasn't using the...

I took it out again later and it seemed ok. But when I got home and plugged it in, it said it wasn't plugged in completely so I tried again and then it seemed to be ok. Time will tell. Haven't checked on how much it has charged. Should be full cause it was only down 2% or so from the max 80...

Going South on Power in thunderstorm and a super loud crack of lightning / thunder right on top of the car. Screen went black for a few seconds but then came back on. Had temp control set to 75 and air on. Noticed it was blowing hot air and the temp was now set to MAX. Adjusted the slider...

thanks for the replies. Never thought about the frequencies.

I have a 2019 M3 with radar Autopilot. Yesterday on the 202 I passed 2 cops running speed traps and I was doing 77 in Autopilot. Neither one came after me. I wondered if my cars radar could interfere with their radar.

When I first heard about this I was pissed. I considered radar superior because it could see through rain or fog, etc. But, after thinking about it, I realized it would be very stupid to rely on ANYTHING during heavy rain or fog. So it really doesn't matter whether it uses Vision or Radar...

The other day I was going through a drive thru fast food and as I was a the order station, a guy pulled in behind me with a souped up car that sounded like a nitro dragster. He kept revving the engine and making lots of noise. Made it difficult to talk to the kid taking orders. After I pulled...

Well I guess it didn't happen. Perhaps it was only a dream. I can't find the pics showing the handles now. If I come across them again I will return with them.

I see new models have an assist handle over the door to help getting in and out. I really miss that. I have a 2019 M3 MR and am wondering if those assist handles can be installed now.

What will happen to people with Teslas that have radar now? Will Tesla upgrade us to the new Vision system? Are we stuck with an old system that will not be updates anymore?

I'm wondering why they changed to Vision. How is that going to work in fog or heavy rain? I don't see how it can if it is relying only on optics. And, for those of us with older 3's ( and other Teslas) will they just disable our radar AP and FSD? How can they get away with that for those of us...

No, I was leaving the driveway and I back in because it is safer when pulling out. So the front of my car was pointed at the street and there were no vehicles in front of me.

The other day my 3 suddenly started beeping at me and put up the warning to TAKE CONTROL IMMEDIATELY. Only problem is, I wasn't using cruise control or Auto Pilot. I was already in full control. I have a feeling my sensors are defective. Hmmmm. I get warnings like this and similar quite...

I've seen quite a few complaints about the ride in the Model 3 and I've seen posts where people changed the springs to lower the car. I'm wondering if it wouldn't be possible to change the springs and / or shocks to get a better ride. If it is, why haven't people been doing it?

=========== It's kind of a roaring noise. I think it is mostly tire noise. Tire noise varies greatly according to the pavement type. On concrete it is terrible. On rubberized asphalt not so bad but I would still like it to be quieter.

Every so often Alerts come up on the screen. UsuaLLy while I'm driving so I can't take pictures of them. How can I get Alerts that have happened to come up on my screen?

I have a 2019 M3 MR with approx 4500 miles. On Sat Feb 21 2021 I got in the car and put in my pin and got warnings that the Brake Regeneration was not workng and the AutoPilot was not working and the Cruise Control was not working. It was right. I was going from E. Mesa to Sun City...

When driving along in the slow lane and there is an entrance to the freeway or exit and there is no marking for the side of the road, AP causes the car to swerve to the right and it seeks to put the car in the middle of a lane and there is no lane.

Most of the noise I hear in my 2019 M3 MR seems to come from the rear end of the car. Anyone else notice this? Anyone got it quieted down?

I have Santa Claus on the left side of my screen and I can't get him off. I would like to go back to the standard display. I can change the right side of the screen but not the left. What am I doing wrong??

Before this last update, one day I did something that brought up a list of error messages that had appeared on screen. I don't know what I did or how I did it. Anyone know how to do that?

===== Very true. But I have also discovered my car may need an alignment. Without Autopilot on it pulls to the right. But I do indeed have a tendency to drive close to the left side of the lane.

==================== I got my Learners Permit in 1955 when cars didn't have power steering and I was taught to hold the steering wheel firmly. But I have discovered that Autopilot does NOT like that. I find it scary as hell to flip down to autopilot and let it take the wheel away from my hands...

========== Thanks for the response. I will try to apply these tips.

========== On cruise control at 65. Not accelerating at all.

========== The blue icon for AP goes away and I feel steering come back under my hands on the wheel. I feel control come back to me. AP is gone / off. On the way back I didn't use AP at all because I don't trust it. Seems very erratic.

Yesterday I noticed the steering wheel icon went on and off and was gray. I wasn't using AP. Should it do that? Also when I was using Auto Pilot I was in the slow lane on the 202 and when I went past a right hand exit Auto Pilot would drop out. Also if I passed a concrete barrier on my right...

============ It wasn't included in the price of mine. I got mine in Feb 2019 and they didn't make it standard until a month or two after that.

Is it ok / safe to use Auto Pilot in city driving?

Is it better / faster to buy via the app or the website?

========== I'm talking about Auto Pilot not FSD. Or do they discuss Auto Pilot in that video?

Is it any use in city driving? Is it worth the price? i swore I wouldn't pay that much but I'm about to break down and get it. I''m sure the day I do the next day they will drop the price to 2000 agaih. ;( What all does Auto Pilot do?

=========== I haven't had it on for awhile now. Cooler weather. I had it set to 73 but have no idea as to the humidity and such. But so far, now more noise like that when I had the heat on one moriing. Hopefully it will be ok when it heats up again.

Never heard that hissing noise before. And it quit when I turned the air off. The car understands me pretty well most of the time. It turned the air off just fine when I told it to. I think it thought I wanted to navigate to air conditioning shops though. Probably didn't understand me then. I'm...

Yes it was working but not as well as it normally does. It is like the coil is freezing and tiny bits of ice are blowing through the vent.

Yesterday as I was driving around town it felt like I was getting hit with small drops of water. I heard a hissing sound that sounded like it was coming from the dash where the air comes out. I shut the air off and the hissing went away. I pushed the right button on the steering wheel and...

I got a seat belt adjuster and it works a lot better now.

I pick up our groceries and the people who put them in the trunk tend to slam the lid. I've heard it bends easy so I'm concerned about that.

Thanks for the responses. I thought perhaps someone ( who for some unknown reason ) might have added the screeching in. Don't know why they would do that. Which brand did you get?

Has anyone got those frunk / trunk openers? How ared they? How much noise do they make? I saw a video of it and there was a horrendous screaching noise. I was going to get them installed but after seeing that video I cancelled.

=========== no i don't use the wireless charger. Most of my trips are fairly short. Longest is across Phoenix. easy enough to keep it charged at home. was wondering if it worked well with the T3 cause I've seen so many complaints about phones. I'm thinking of dropping down to the One Plus 8...

Anyone using this phone with their T3? How is it? OK? Any problems?

=============== Thanks for the quick response. i will check into them.

Which companies make the best trunk openers / closers? Anyone got experience with them?

Got it fixed. Control arms on the front left. Strange how that affected so many things. Cost me a bit over $900 because they claim they found pain inside the fender so I hit a curb or something. I don't remember that but I have hit some potholes. Oh well.

-------------- Sorry for the delay in answering. Yes so far it seems to be holding up just fine. I don't know what they seal it with but it seems to be good. So far none of the gold paint has flaked off. Which surprises me. I'm very happy with it.

============== Yes, it works like a key card, except that you are very unlikely to leave your hand at home or lose it. Just sorta touch your knuckle to the magic spot on the door or console to get in or drive. I hate it when the car won't let me drive without touching the keycard to the...

============ No I bought it at Teslaring.com.
