    Seat memory not saving (or restores to wrong position)

    Is anyone else having issues with seat memory? My Jan 2019 build 3 no longer restores the seat to the correct position. The controls work fine, so I can set it up correctly and save, but when I leave the car and reenter it will go back to the same incorrect position. Easy Entry also now leans...

    Procrastinating on removing my Blackvue never felt better. Hopefully it doesn't pay off by needing the videos.

    Elon Musk Confirms Tesla Full Self-Driving Subscriptions Coming Early 2021

    I wonder how this will work if you aren't on HW3.0? Will outright purchase be the only path to upgrade, or will they offer a way to buy just the upgrade (say $2-3k) to add the subscription? The recent offerings to add summon/auto-park didn't upgrade the hardware.

    What Kind of Car Did The Model 3 Replace?

    2016 Chevy Bolt Premier to 2019 LR AWD. My Bolt was rear ended back in February, and the insurance company declared it a total loss the same day as Tesla announced price cuts. With Chevy not discounting as madly just then, an SR+ was the same price but so much more car - but the performance of...

    Can More be Done For the Kids?

    My Bolt had this feature too, easily turned on and off in the settings. Just a simple prompt (voice too I think), no need for anything fancy from sensors. I never used it myself, as my kids are old enough to get in and out themselves. I don't get the hostility in this thread. Don't make this...

    Apple CarPlay & Android Auto

    Tesla could even implement them via a popup, just like calendar or rear view camera, and then the user can decide whether they want it up, closed, or collapsed to the bottom like the music controls. (Really liked AA on my previous Bolt. Hated CarPlay for its awful third party app support...

    Model 3 Motors on the Tesla Parts Catalog

    I'll check if my paper work shows it, but the salesman at the Bellevue store showed me the Jan 4th build date on screen to confirm it was going to be a 2019 car. The sticker only shows 1/19.

    Model 3 Motors on the Tesla Parts Catalog

    My US AWD was built Jan 4th 2019, took delivery end of March, and it's a 980 (1120980-00-D). Hoping for the upgrade availability now :)

    Rear Ended Monday

    Insurance refusing to cover some damage from rear end accident

    Just as another data point - not trying to turn this into a p*ssing contest - but when my 2017 Bolt was totaled in February, Travelers *reduced* my premium by $10/m for my new LR AWD. They were also really great through the process, made in very easy.

    FSD just increased price

    After reading this thread, I checked my AP upgrade page and FSD has gone from $7k to $8k too. I purchased my car at the end of March and saved a copy of the page showing $5k at delivery, $7k post. Presumably we can hold Tesla to that price if it comes to it, but I can wait it out :) (It just...

    Going to be bringing my Model 3 Performance to Europe

    Given you are planning on putting European plates, I'm assuming this isn't the case, but are you in the military? I used to live close to the Mildenhall Air Force Base in the UK, and a lady in our office (whose husband was in the US Air Force, but not high up) drove their pickup on military...

    Vendor Improve your Model 3 Phone Dock!

    Ours came on Tuesday, and my wife can finally dock her phone! We have the same phone, OnePlus 6T, but she uses the Tech21 EvoCheck case which is a little larger than the inbox case that came with my McLaren edition. The only thing I'd change would be to add a little notch for the cables, aligned...

    FSD reduced cost during trial? Newb help please

    Several others have posted that they didn't take AP at delivery and the trial offers then AP for $3500 and FSD for $5500 - so less total than what you would be paying even though you ponied up for some of it. I also took AP at delivery for $3k too, but have not been offered an FSD trial at all...

    Seattle area RTA registration tax

    Yes, it has all the other items broken out. My MSRP was $54k (actually paid $53,330) + $1200 delivery/doc which equates to $607 exactly. Though even today it still seems to be a crap shoot whether paint/wheels/AP should be included, or not and just Base+AWD.

    WA resident Bought Car from Oregon store. No plate yet.

    I took delivery of my car (from the Bellevue SC) four weeks ago tomorrow, and my plates came yesterday by FedEx from the Seattle store. 4 weeks compares with other cars I've bought in the past. I received no notice other than the email from FedEx, as I had claimed my address with them.

    Seattle area RTA registration tax

    I bought my car four weeks ago, and just got the initial registration today. The RTA fee is listed at $607, but even though I live in Seattle the $80 fee is missing and so maybe it was rolled in? Taking out the $80 and then doing the 1.1% would but the RTA portion valuing my 2019 LR AWD...

    Not missing this

    On our test drive, the Tesla salesman told us about using the frunk for takeout due to the smell being sealed from the cabin. He also showed us how the hooks in the frunk can be used to stop takeout (and grocery) bags from toppling over :)

    Model 3 Autopilot Free Upgrade for 2019 Delivery

    Maybe they'll just offer FSD for $3k less than the current price (so down to $4k since we've taken delivery). However, given they never updated the website to show free AP, I'm more inclined to think it was a confused agent - the date of the letter was right after the time of the price decrease...

    Owners with No AP - Thoughts/Plans/Speculation on What Happens Next

    If it were free, why was the order page still asking for $3k until a day ago and why did they take the $3k when I bought the car? FYI I ordered on 3/4 during the price reduction and took a 2019 inventory MSM for $670 discount. After the recent price increase but AP decrease, I paid $330 more...

    Frustrating experience at Discount Tire - HELP!

    I'm not sure if that last part is humor or not. All that finding someplace over-priced guarantees is that you'll pay more: when I had a Mini Cooper S Convertible the dealer was not so convienient and so for replacement brakes I took it to someone a few coworkers swore by for higher end European...

    Tesla Model 3 Door Handle Stickers For Rideshare

    My neighbor pulled the emergency handle the day I got the car! I put on the evwraps vinyl transfers - they look pretty good and only the shape is transferred, no "blank" sticker part.

    First time driving EV - what to look for

    Yes! OP if your test drive is at U.Village (I dont know about the other locations), the AWD they have for test drives is actually a P3D :) He told me to floor it after we got on I5N from 520. I'm such a rule follower that I had to back off way quicker than anything else I've driven.

    First time driving EV - what to look for

    My first EV was a Bolt, and the one pedal driving was just so natural about 20s after pulling out of the dealer's lot on the test drive. It really is marvelous, though on the Bolt you could come to a complete stop but the Tesla nearly always requires me to tap the brake to bring it to a complete...

    Vendor 3D Mats For Model 3- Exclusive Savings for Members

    I ordered a set of floor mats from Joe after ordering my car on 3/4 and then the trunk liners a few days later. Each set arrived about 5 days after ordering that set, both arriving before I took delivery of the car :) The mats look great, grip very well to the floor, and I have no objections to...

    Is autopilot worth it?

    So far I'm in the not worth it bin too. I included AP in my order as I thought it might be useful after trying it on the test drive, but it just seems too fussy even though many others driving the same roads (I-90 around Seattle) think it's great. I also hate how autosteer will always center the...

    You can get a set of 4 of the Streetrays on ebay for $30 including shipping at the moment, and Streetrays is the seller. Just scroll past the $21 for one listings :) Mine arrived 3 days later, and they appear to have made the o-ring change someone here suggested - they grip fine in the car to...

    Best color in the cloudy PNW?

    I ordered Multi Coat Red with white interior, but it was going to be a while and ended up taking an inventory MSM with white. The Bellevue showroom had a P3D in this combo on display, and under the lights I prefered it over the red S also on display and so switched. Loving the MSM+white.

    Home Delivery scheduled for tomorrow - a little weird

    Did your delivery go okay? I had home delivery last weekend, with the car (LR AWD / MSM / White / 19 / AP Jan '19 build) having 2.4 miles on it when it left Bellevue and 21 after they drove it to our home. Absolutely perfect, as far as I could see. I think they are just swomped, and my delivery...

    USB corruption for dashcam recording

    It's only been a week (just got my car last Saturday), but given someone else here recommended it ~ a month ago I have been using the Rocketek: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XTQZS4F with a Samsung Pro endurance 64G card. Given the x issues from either corruption or full drives from...

    USB corruption for dashcam recording

    With the SSD so slim, it could Velcro on the underneath of the phone dock I would think. If the Velcro failed, no harm done from a drop that small with an SSD :)

    Elon: "Feature complete for full self driving this year"

    Thanks for mentioning this. I'm only a week into Tesla ownership (and don't know all the history of AP), and although the 3 is a fantastic car as built I am not optimistic about city street FSD in the near future given the lack of speed-limit sign reading today. When I test drove, the sales man...

    Red light detection, stop sign detection, stopping!

    No idea, but once you get to BC you'll need a yellow light warning feature to avoid tickets. If the light is yellow and you don't stop when safe to do so, they will ticket you. Not that that law would have helped here in Seattle the other day, where a lady in a BMW X5 ran the red by about 6s...

    Disingenuous Delivery Statement

    I was in a similar boat. My Bolt was totaled at the end of February and on 3/4 I ordered an LR AWD, Red with white interior, 19" + AP. Nine days later I was offered a local car exactly what I ordered except black interior. Like the OP we don't like the wood trim and so decided to wait. Since 3/7...

    LR AWD Waiting Room

    Our MSM/White/19/AP (Jan 2019) was delivered yesterday! We are only 4 miles from the SoDo location, and this one came from Bellevue, but from what I glanced of their delivery calendar I think it was too solid to take delivery at those locations. The car looks almost perfect, though they didn't...

    LR AWD Waiting Room

    Woohoo, home delivery tentatively set for Saturday! I originally ordered a LR AWD MCR/White/19/AP on March 4th, and last week the local store offered me a black interior that I turned down (neither of us like the wood trim). I asked today about other inventory AWD with white interior and they...

    Wiki Model 3 Order Tracking Spreadsheet

    I only ordered on March 4th (LR AWD MCRed 19 White AP), but it does seem like white interior is an issue. The inventory spreadsheet up to Feb 19 showed very few white interiors available, and the local store tried hard to sell me on an in stock 2019 black interior (everything else the same as my...

    Autopilot Change on March 18?

    I thought the price increase was just for those people who previously ordered before Feb 28, where it is currently $2k but will go to $3k tomorrow - same as buying it before delivery of a new car.

    LR AWD Waiting Room

    After 9 days since I ordered, I had a call from an Illinois office saying they had a 2019 in Seattle exactly like I ordered except with black interior. Two hours later the local showroom called offering the same. I mentioned my wife doesn't like the wood trim, and they tried hard to sell me on...

    Must have Tesla 3 Accessories

    Mine arrived today. I ordered late on the 4th and they shipped the next morning. All I've done is open the box to check they are fine, which they were - still waiting for a VIN, never mind my car :) The 3d logo looks fine to me, could be a different story I guess once they are in the car. I...

    [Poll] - Are you ordering Model 3 before price increase?

    A new car was the last thing on my mind, but then my Bolt got declared a total loss on 2/28. I test drove a P3D on 3/2 (only AWD they had) and ordered an LR-AWD on 3/4. Just sheer coincidence I hit the sweet spot for the new pricing.

    LR AWD Waiting Room

    In my case the sooner the better, though if offered a 2018 I'd likely ask for free paint. I'm currently in a rental, which I'm now paying for after insurance stopped doing so as they paid out on my total loss Chevy Bolt this week. I was hit rear right by an 18-wheeler, and given the salvage...

    Windshield wipers are horrible, and arguably dangerous

    I don't have my car yet (ordered LR AWD last Monday) and so have only read this thread and the owner's manual, but why don't they just implement double-tap (or counted quick taps) on the stalk button to cycle through the wiper options? Single tap could then do a single wipe, without changing the...

    Does the standard option have the full glass roof?

    Maybe they would have to redo the likes of rollover testing too, which plays into the overall economics.
