    Police recording on Tesla cams

    Ah, the old document your misdeeds mode. I think Ill pass. I don't need my car corroborating the policeman's story if I get popped for speeding.

    Tesla recalls 2 million vehicles to limit use of Autopilot

    The single pull AP is to get it in line with the AP button on the new versions. I'm mostly concerned with the interior camera which I have kept covered since my first 3 in 2019. If they are going to start monitoring faces to use AP then I want nothing to do with it. I am ignoring all...

    Oh crap! Do I have a leak?

    Just top off your blinker fluid and you'll be good for another month or so.

    Need help with repair/replacement options of rear right panel

    Id start by bringing it to a collision shop. They probably don't need to replace that and can take care of it with bondo and paint.

    Tire Pressure Mismatch?

    I think an update added the ability to spot check tire pressure without having to drive it to fire them up.

    Is your car an early enough build for the red heat coating? Does your glass look red when misted with water?

    Supercharger cost in Los Angeles - quick and easy - $10/100 miles

    Charging at home at night I pay 32 cents a KWh and use about 285W per mile which is about 9 cents a mile. I don't use superchargers often but when I need them they are generally 40-45 cents a kWh which would be 11-12 cents a mile. Lately I've been charging exclusively at work to bring it down...

    Is autopilot taxed in CA

    Dude. Dont drive tired where you are at risk of falling asleep at the wheel. Its just as bad as driving drunk and AP wll not save you or others if you fall asleep.

    Model 3 windshield/roof tint

    50% is pretty dark for a windshield. Im all for ignoring tint laws but I'm not about to invite being hassled over it either. I have 70% on the windshield and wouldnt go much darker.

    Totaled or repairable?

    On a normal car that is totally repairable on a 3 thats a 50/50 shot. Its pretty localized damage but the crumply bits have indeed crumpled. With the recent crash of the used market it may get written off

    fast food in a model 3

    Sorry to hear you lost him. I lost my bulldog last year. His name was Rockafeller. He made it to 13 and he was perfect his whole life. A lot of bad crap happened to me last year and that by far was the worst.

    fast food in a model 3

    I have no problem with myself eating in the car if I'm between sites at work or something but I have a no snacks in the car rule for the kids. They only get water. Its not a road trip car and they've destroyed my wife's car with cheerios and goldfish in every nook and cranny of the back seat.

    Cowbell Hell Still a Thing

    I also find Santa mode signal bells to be too loud. Its a shame because its fun for the kids but its so obnoxious I generally avoid it.

    Model 3 windshield/roof tint

    I had my car tinted with 15% on the sides rear and roof. I did 70% on the windshield. The windshield is great and the roof is nice because it matches the high part of the rear window in tint. I did have to shut off my auto dim exterior mirrors though because at night between the tint and the...

    Looks like they are removing stalks from the 3/Y

    OK so after seeing what they did to the S/X it looks like wheels are still a thing but the stalks may be headed out as now the wheels have a few extra buttons as well alongside the wheels. If they make some of those available for gear changes I don.t think this will be a catastrophe..

    Seat heater after v11 is too hot

    Mine regularly uses settings 1 and 2 when in auto. That said Im in CA so my car isnt trying to do as much of a temperature swing. If you wanted to trouble shoot lower the temp and see if the seat temp lowers with it. If its not you may have something off. As a side note I love that Tesla...

    Looks like they are removing stalks from the 3/Y

    Woah I had to look and its true theres a wheel option on the S/X now. Also they have gone to a dual thumbwheel setup. There still appears to be signal buttons but we're halfway there.

    Looks like they are removing stalks from the 3/Y

    When you activate the AI signal setting they work of a single tier input. You never have to depress the stalk to the second indent. The signals know if you are changing lanes, in a turning lane or even exiting the highway. Its set up for a single button press like on the yolk wheels.

    My Model 3 Couldn't deliver to me due to damage at delivery parking

    You need to contact your sales advisor. That's the one who has been in contact with you to set up your delivery. You probably have a text message from one. They should be able to answer any questions.

    My Model 3 Couldn't deliver to me due to damage at delivery parking

    This forum isn't actually Tesla. I think you are looking for the actual Tesla forums. I don't think thats where you really want though as this issue seems like one for your sales advisor. I would start there From what I gather you had a car on order eligible for the December deals but then...

    Passenger side (maybe B pillar) rattle, drives me crazy!

    That's a bit of a stretch that the drive unit is causing a rattle in the B pillar but at least they are acknowledging the rattle and will look into it after the drive unit.

    Trade Rivian R1T for Plaid Model X/S

    I would have loved to switch over to a R1T when my Model 3 was totaled but they were going for 125k back then so I passed. Looks like they are available in the low 90s right now. I think a trade to a new plaid X is a bit of a stretch right now but an R1T in hand is still going for more than he...

    Total Loss Settlement for Model 3

    This would be fun to see what Tesla values FSD on a used car. They will probably try to hold the 15k and say the car is only worth 36.

    Perelli PZ4 or Michelin PS4S?

    I haven't made my way through my first set of Pirellis yet. I did like the PS4s on my last M3P. I got 36k out of the first set and was working on the second set. The Pirellis seem to drive fine aside from being all stretched to the wheel but that's the wheel's fault. I'm definitely getting...

    The new media controls are crap

    Honestly I never did try it. I have come up with what I think would be the best way around these media controls. I propose the put the media controls back to where they were. I also think they should move the up high nav instructions to above the car render like when you have something on...

    No but its infinitely more possible to source an oddball LED in yellow than source a non standard pixcell matrix in yellow.

    The new media controls are crap

    Too many people posted about getting closed on and it not working that well. I have it auto open but I manually close. Since my original post I have found they still have a button pop up but its at the top now. Still worse but at least it has the same functionality.

    New headlights retrofit

    Flipping the argument. If I were to get a set of older non matrix lights can I swap them to my matrix car without issue or will it go crazy. I kind of want to break open an old set and change to a yellow LED.

    Which is objectively worse than the nice big button from the 11 roll out. The new media controls in general were poorly thought out and should be reverted.

    I wouldnt buy a Model 3 again

    I'll give some of these a try on my way home today. Honestly I didn't know steering heat is tied to HVAC being on. I do wish they would move the icon to the same area as the seat icons separate from the selectable shortcuts though. Fog lights ae in a dumb spot and should be part of the first...

    I wouldnt buy a Model 3 again

    Tesla has the best usability still out of everyone. I'm not sure anyone does infotainment as good as them. The voice commands are second to none. Sending a text or setting navigation is leagues above even the newest google offerings. Even the phone key is better with Tesla than the...

    The new media controls are crap

    Id just like to rant about the new media control. My first encounter with them this morning was when I wanted to close my garage door and the large button was replaced by these controls. Apparently we are back to the old two press to close a garage door with the tiny homelink icon at the top...
