Our MX has an excessive buffering issue that TSLA Service says is a known issue on early MX models despite firmware updates. Now we're noticing a lot of internet radio buffering on our M3. This seems unrelated to AT&T's signal strength. Anyone else experiencing excessive buffering while playing...

Some features I'd like to see added or updated (some have already been mentioned) : Pop Up view of Song/Artist when you advance to the next track using the scroll wheel when the Music menu is hidden. Audio mix level preferences so you can save a mix arrangement for various types of music (for...

I have seen confusing information on this. Can someone confirm? From what I understand, the front doors are power no matter what. PUP just allows the driver door to open automatically on approach and close on brake press? I saw a number of folks post that their door still closed with the...

Hi All, I am planning to use my Sirius XM account over bluetooth when my MX comes in. I do this in my current car and it works great. My question is what should I expect to see on the info display in my Model X? Will I at least see basic info like song/artist or is it just blank with nothing...

It was well below freezing this morning, and the app showed my garaged MS had an interior temperature of 50F. Thought it would be nice to be warmer when I left for an early appointment, so I turned on climate, setting it for 65 -- a 15-degree increase would be plenty. Yet when I got to the...

Feature request: When pressing the Keyfob to close all doors, all open windows should also close. Mobile App should be able to open and close any and all windows, including an open and close all feature. Of course the screen UI needs same features. Anyone like this idea?

I know that Tesla prefers all propriotary apps, but the voice recognition on my Model S is less accurate that it is on my Jeep Wrangler. It would be great to have Apple Car Play or something similar in order to read text messages, and make calls from a large contact list

In the last several months I've found that Tune In channels, particularly needs channels, experience a "loading error" and won't play. I have some that simply won't play at all, and others that play intermittently. Can anyone suggest a cure for this? Thanks!

I was wondering if there is a way to hide my P85D logo from the dash screen and/or touchscreen, or possibly change it to say just "85" instead of P85D. Is this something the service center can do?

Used the Model 3 windshield wipers for the first time today and was surprised to find the windshield fluid is built into the wipers themselves and not "spray nozzles mounted on/under the hood" as in most every other car I've owned. Very cool innovation.

Sorry if I've missed this, but how do you manually fold the mirrors? I see in the online manual it says controls>quick controls>adjustments>fold mirrors. Does it really take 4 clicks? I fold my mirrors daily before pulling into the garage. This may be the only dedicated button I would really miss.

This is my first post so any feedback from veteran users would be appreciated. I purchased my 2017 Model X 100D 12/29/17 and have been very pleased. Many questions have been answered by this forum and I love the challenge of exploring ground breaking technology. There have been a few...

I have found that when I listen to a podcast, the current time position in the podcast is lost when I leave the vehicle and return. Retaining the current listening position seems pretty basic to a podcast player, where you want to continue where you left off. Is this a shortcoming of the media...

Hi, I was looking into testing the Tesla sofware for some odd reason but I could not find anything about the Tesla ui or MCU sofware running on a Pi. Is it possible?

thought i would share this panning zooming scrolling my nav was very laggy with or without satellite images i read that if you manually went through old nav destinations and swiped right to clear them all it would help and it has i was thinking the touchscreen needed a new processor but it...

Here's the situation, I pull up to the store to run in and grab a gallon of milk. My wife and kids are in the car. How can I leave them in the car and keep all the systems up and running, climate control, radio, etc.. I've tried turning off lock on walk away, doesn't work. I've tried leaving my...

As a Model X owner that is interested in the energy consumption of my new Model 3 vs. my old Model X, I'd like to be able to analyze energy consumption graphs (like those available in the Model X). The problem I'm having is that I can't find much about energy consumption in the Model 3...

I thought I had read that the Model 3 had a speed sensitive volume control option buried in the audio options somewhere, but I don't see it in the owner's manual. Is it there? If so, how well does it work and what options does it give you? @K-MTG Any chance you can look for this?

Does a mouse work when connected to one of the USB ports in a Model 3 like it used to in the S&X? (Probably only the fronts ports would work.) @K-MTG Any chance you can give it a try and let us know?

It would be neat if there was a setting on Homelink (say a checkbox) that read "Disable Auto Lock". Here, when you pulled into your garage, it didn't automatically lock the doors. (but still allowed you to use walk away auto lock in all other situations). There are likely a number of us with...

Drivers side door handle will not open when I approach My 2017 Model S 75D with the FOB key. The only way to open the door is from the inside. Supercharging in Kingston Ontario seems to resolve it. Not sure anyone else has noticed this. I now think I know how to reproduce it. Here are the...

l keep reading reports, reviews etc. about people concerned by the off centre speed readout, and having to look off centre rather than through the steering wheel to see your speed readout. Some people even suggest it's potentially dangerous. Funny, few have complained about many other cars with...

Does all Tesla Model S intergrated consoles have two front and rear USB ports?

I just got the Remote S app for iOS and it's pretty sweet. I got it specifically for the Apple Watch interface -- it's really conventient to be able to unlock and start the car from my watch and leave the key at home. I can't figure out how to switch between my Model S and Model 3 in the watch...

Click Baity title on purpose... I've been recommending people do this on Reddit for things like the dead backup camera issue and other issues where a car snapshot would be of use, and someone mentioned today that 'they have been told several times by techs that the reports made by 'bug report'...

Just wanted to share this tidbit with Sirius Subscribers. Since the Model 3 does not have Sirius just yet (though I'm thinking the hardware is there its just not activated )... I was able to call Sirius and have them give me the Online/App subscription. With that you can bluetooth from your...

I have been on a quest to push the limits of the Tesla browser lately, this is the best i have been able to do so far. But working on a simpler, faster, better solution with keyboard, mouse and sound support (rasberry pi + adhoc wifi + modifyed guacamole) . If i get the new solution up and...

While it's great to have HD radio, providing digital versions of local AM stations, it's very difficult to use. To find the HD version of an AM station requires stepping through all of the FM stations, and then looking at the HD channels, until you find the station you are looking for. At...

When I approach Angel, like a puppy who wants to go out, she comes to life, flashes her lights and pops out her mirrors. How sweet. She also does this when I pass by the door leading to the garage--I can see her lights from the garage. She does seem to get very anxious. Unfortunately, Angel is a...

Wanted to share this in the right forum with a more informed heading. AP 2.x - Learned something new

Submitted by Isaac on January 12, 2018 I purchased my Tesla X (7 seat configuration) on December 1st 2017. Tesla made two iterations of the X in 2017 (more about those differences later) Pros are: Falcon doors are super cool and my kids love them especially in front of their friends. The doors...

Will the Model 3 display incoming text messages on the screen? With our phones docked and under the console cover we won’t be able to see if a text has been received. My STI displays the message on my nav and I can respond (or send a new message) via Siri from a steering wheel button.

Hi there. [TLDR version] Proximity audio alerts not working in my profile only. Visual alerts working. Did resets. Called Tesla and they are stumped. Thoughts? [/TLDR] A few weeks ago, my wife left the car in the snow covered driveway and asked me to back it in because the rear camera was...

My suggestion to improve the climate control interface - add the heated steering wheel and heated front windshield controls as shown below (red arrows) so they are easily accessible without having to drill down into submenus: There is room and I think the added function would far out weigh...

How about we have a thread for tips. This is on firmware 2017.50.10: - To avoid unlocking the car every time you come close to it with a phone key (usually in an attached garage), disable Walk-up Unlock under Car settings->Locks->Settings. Car will now only unlock when you pull a door handle...

I park in a single car garage. Normally my FWD opens barely halfway very slowly and timidly, although there is enough clearance to open all the way (I normally press the button to make it go all the way up if I need the space). My trunk does the same, opens halfway, timidly. These doors and...

Prior to today it seemed Model 3 software releases were 2017.48.XX but now they are up to the 2017.50.xx week/format. Syncing up between the S/X and 3 cars.

I am a new Model X owner and have noticed that anytime I use my iPhone X with an external Bluetooth device (AirPods or Plantronics) the radio is silenced and I can’t hear the radio. I use the external Bluetooth devices so I don’t disturb other occupants of the car, but when the radio is shut...

So I just picked up my 3 last night, really love the car. it's looks great and drives better than I expected. #1507. But I don't have access to the car from the App. I'm stuck using the does not always work card. There was 3 model 3's in the delivery center in Costa Mesa and apparently we were...

Picked my Model 3 last night. At the time, the car was not in my app, only my Model S and an advertisement of the Powerwall. After multiple car resets, app sign outs, app re-installations, etc., the car still wouldn't show up in the app. Even tried the app in a Galaxy S8, iphone 8, and ipad with...

I believe that the Model 3 (and S/X) need a weather radar overlay on the navigation map. A radar is very important for looking ahead so that you can make trip decisions (snow? ice? thunderstorm?). In addition, it would be nice to have a weather station overlay. That displays temperature and...

Driving kids to school this morning my X seems to be stuck in sleep mode ( all screen display are darker than night mode). I didn't want to mess with it so drop kids off then go home. At school when my son opens the FWD, the door opened but also beep and warning sign came on asking to...

Last night, I went to a magnificent private Model 3 revealing at Century City mall showroom, here in LA, prior to the public displaying today. We were welcomed with champagne and a ton of hors d’oeuvres. After some significant lubrication and conversation with multiple educated Tesla...

When I set up my Homelink, Angel would happily close the garage door as I approached the end of the driveway. For some reason, she has lost interest in doing this. I revisited the Homelink page and didn't see an option other than "auto open"/close which is enabled. And yes, she automatically...

Ran an experiment today with results that may help others through this cold spell. Check out the new stay-on heat after parking feature that got released recently. After putting the car in Park, press the climate controls pop-up and you'll see it there on the bottom "stay on" slider... chose...

Mercedes' Latest Infotainment System Has More Screen Space, Digital Assistant

I need a little help with doors when car is in park. I use the easy entry setting for my car, thus when my car is in park the driver seat moves out of the way every time. In the morning when I drop my kids off at school, which takes only minutes, I just step on the brake so the car is still in...

It looks like a number of car manufacturers are announcing integration with Alexa or Google Assistant in CES. Here is one such example: Toyota and Lexus vehicles will add Amazon Alexa this year I have always thought that the voice capabilities in Tesla can be vastly improved. It is by far the...

Driving to the store this past weekend with my 2 kids I started getting all sorts of Errors on the screen (Here is a snapshot) of the screen when it started: In any case I get to my destination and park the car but it will not go into park. The car refused to go into park and there was no...
