    Why does TACC remain active after FSD steering wheel disengagement ?(which is not safe IMHO)

    Again...I am suggesting a preference, so you can set it either way.

    Autopilot nor Cruise will engage 50% or more of drives

    My friend (2022 M3) and I (2018 M3) both lost AP & FSDb today. Quite a coincidence. For both of us a camera calibration fixed the issue.

    Why does TACC remain active after FSD steering wheel disengagement ?(which is not safe IMHO)

    I want the "steering cancels both" feature as implemented on the S as someone related above. It is a preference setting, so each of us can have it our way. I see no downsides to implementation as a preference.

    Road Markings no Longer Visualized (Left/Right Turn Lane arrows, for example)

    I am on 10.69.2 2018 AWD M3. At some point, before 10.12.2, road markings (like arrows painted on the roadway) are no longer visualized. Also, speed bumps used to be visualized most of the time. Those are also no longer displayed. Maybe to conserve CPU cycles?? Any thoughts as to why this change?

    Why 2 different "hold the wheel" Nag warning types?

    @TX_M3P+ Never happens AFTER the normal Blue alert. Always displays as the first alert. @ChrisH, The B alert, when it happens is never facing anything strange. 3 lane interstate, no construction, no special traffic conditions. Just where I would expect a normal Blue Alert. @MacDon, Again...

    Why 2 different "hold the wheel" Nag warning types?

    Not a complaint but just some questions. My experience: I always hold the wheel under tension (maybe sometimes not enough). The only time I completely release the wheel is to get a drink or something like that. My question/concern is that I get 2 different types of warnings: A: The normal...

    Volume on Tesla Model 3. Why no gradual rise?

    After a phone call, when the audio unmutes, it is generally a huge audio spike, that while probably won't harm the speakers, it is certainly not good for my ears or the surprised passengers. I would like a ramped unmute, maybe 250-500ms (1/4 - 1/2 sec)

    MASTER THREAD: 2019.40.2 - FSD AutoSteer Stop Sign Warning and Adjacent Lane Speeds

    I have a question for discussion. What is the purpose of having the traffic light and stop sign "warning" as opposed to simply showing us the stop sign or light when they are detected? Now we have people attempting to go thru red lights and stop signs to "test" this feature. Dangerous for...

    Is there a search function in the Spotify App?

    I have not been able to locate a search function within the Spotify app for the Model 3. Is there any way, from within the Spotify app to search for an artist, song title, etc?

    Please fix the curb rash risk on Model Y !

    Showing the wheel bands from AO. Many color options. The only time I hit the curb (rear passenger wheel) the wheel band was damaged and saved the wheel from more severe damage. SO ugly or not (YMMV) I vote for the wheel bands, until the tire size changes.

    SpaceX Starship Factory Cocoa, FL - Fly over - Jul 9

    From Teslerati: "Per one of those posts, Starship/Super Heavy’s “initial launch capability” will be achieved at Kennedy Space Center’s historic Launch Complex 39A (also known as Pad 39A), a facility SpaceX has leased since 2014 and launched from since 2017.

    The subject says it all. The dancing continues, but the "specular highlight" (White dot) that was supposed to represent the reflection of the sun on the rear window, is gone. Hopefully some bugs got fixed along the way. Keep those OTAs comin' Love the car!

    Feature Request for a polite "Toot-Toot" horn honk button

    I have found that "punching the horn" for a light tap, is more easily done when "punching" in the UP direction rather than the more intuitive DOWN punch. Hope that makes sense. Once I figured this out, it was much easier to control the horn level from a toot to a full slam.

    Do Service Centers "allow" Caliper Cover add-on?

    I am thinking of getting the Red Caliper covers made by MGP (in USA) and sold by RPMTesla (and some others sell a similar item). They are the aluminum type that clamp-on using 2 screws. MAde specifically for Model 3. Have any of you installed these? If so did the SC say anything when they saw...

    Model 3 horn sensitivity

    I too have noticed the lack of polite tap option. What I have found through experimentation, is that if I direct the tapping pressure to an upward (towards the windshield) direction rather than downward (towards the floor), it takes less pressure and offers more "control" as required for polite...

    Superchargers capped at 80% in some locations

    Just returned from Palm Bay, FL SC. 8 stalls - 2 used (including me) Told me of 80% limit. But allows me to charge to any level (I assume because of open stalls) Needs improved messaging, but overall, a good thing IMO

    A better look for 19" OEM wheels on M3?

    Was only about 50% happy with the look of the 19" OEM rims. A friend turned me onto this kit on Amazon (designed for 18" Aero Wheels), and I like the look on the 19" as opposed to with the Tesla supplied plastic "cap and lug nut covers" on the wheel. See what you think. So far I am liking it a...

    It’s been 8 days and Tesla hasn’t removed my old car

    I returned my original M3 (had serious defect) for another. Took about 2.5 months to get the original car off my account. Maybe just now the car has been sold to a new owner and that is why it came off of my account. Tried with the SC to get it removed, and ultimately sent an email, but never...

    Model 3 System Volume?

    My "problem" (annoyance) is this... If I am listening to loud music, when a system alert "chimes", the music ducks down (which is good), but the music comes back to the loud volume that I had set much too quickly. In other words, I want the music to "ramp" (or fade) back in over about 1/2 sec...

    Love bug swarm in Florida.. Reports from Ev car owners requested

    I do not think the Love Bugs discriminate between EV and ICE cars. They'll wreck any car. I think mostly depends on the time of year, weather conditions. Happens in Oct and May. Will definitely etch your clear coat and paint if not removed promptly. Here is the Model 3 Happy Again:
