Dear Forum colleagues, Tonight my center screen refused to switch into night mode. I tried the following remedy: 1) manually switch the screen setting into night 2) soft reset 3) hard reset 4) total power down and restart. Nothing. The center screen stays dark. Please note that the car does...

Hi TMC, I have noticed whenever I summon my car out of the garage it won't auto open the mirrors back up? Why could this be? I have to physically press the mirror open button which is kind of annoying every morning. Thanks in advance!

Hi TMC, When I go surf or workout, it would be great to leave my key in the car and have access to unlocking the Tesla via my Apple Watch. Or even leaving the physical key at home and allowing my phone / Apple Watch to do the work. Is there a way to do this? How do you secure your car when...

Hi TMC, Hope you can help me out here. So I have passive entry on for the driver door only, as the majority of my time is going to and from work so I don't need all of the handles opening every time. The unfortunate part is that if I ever need to get into the passenger side door, I have to go...

We would like to install a laser parking assist device in our garage for help in aligning our MX in a kind of tight space. Normal use would be to aim the laser pointer at the hood of the car and steer to "walk" the pointer so that the car ends up in the optimum desired position. However, there...

Annoying that I can only program three doors. Is there anyway around this limitation? I would assume it is a software thing, need at least one more space for second home gated access.

Sorry if this has been covered already but I can't seem to get my Outlook calendar to sync with my MS. I don't use the native iOS calendar app at all. I use my corporate Exchange Outlook mobile client on my IPhone 6S Plus (iOS 11.2.2). I did run a test by adding a test appt to the native iOS...

Starting to get ticked. I tap 'ON' on the app, and within 2-3 min, it shows OFF again. It's FREEZING outside. The HVAC sucks to begin with (never close to temp set), works 5% as well as my 09 Tahoe. What.. the ... heck?!

During a road trip from the south of Germany to the French Riviera I noticed, that the navigation system loses track of the car's position in long tunnels (e.g. the 15 km Gotthard Tunnel in Switzerland; also a shorter one near Lucern). Due to the lack of a GPS signal the navigation thinks the...

I noticed this morning when taking kids to school, the center console screen was really bright. When Driving I noticed when in navigation view at the very top of the screen there were many black lines ( almost like rain lines or bad connection) that reach in about 1/2 inch from top edge. I...

After leaving my car in an unheated garage, plugged in, SoC@50%, with outside temps in the single digits or lower for three days, I noticed that I couldn't reach it with the app. I go to investigate and the handles do not extend. I touch the driver door handle and it extends. Getting in the car...

I just picked up my Model 3 last Friday and on Sunday morning when I got into the car, the display did not come on and I have to do a reboot with the scroll buttons. And this morning, the same thing happened. I can drive the car but the display was just blank until I reboot again. Anyone else...

Our Homelink/Opener lashup appears to be operating consistently, but we'd like to know a little bit more about how it's deciding what to do. Here's what's happening: We have enabled auto-open and auto-close for our garage door. Until we discovered a workaround, this is the way we were...

Weird happenings this morning. Was in stationary traffic approaching 'T-junction' and enabled AP for auto pull away. As we reached the front of the line, the car in front turned left and as it did so it turned blue in the IC - just like when the car you are following in AP1 autosteer turns blue...

Was thinking about vampire drain (M3OC has a topic about excessive drain, also reports from Norway). And I came up with just a software update. Tesla could add power saving (with connection drop) mode selection in the app (to all models, S, X and 3) So if vehicle is left alone for long, owner...

WIFI/BT dropped connection. Resetting screen (computer?) by depressing scroll wheels reset. Is this a common occurrence?

I have a late-VIN X loaner with a curious problem. Anyone with this strange behavior? I've tried both reboot options from steering wheel with no change. I'm using SW 2017.50.2 Initial symptom is it would not supercharge or charge at home. Then I walked away and noticed it started charging when...

I picked up my 3 on Friday and the USB phone cables were in a little bag in the console. Today I went to install them thinking it would be a 2 minute job. This may seem silly but it was not at all obvious to me how the last bit of cable routes so that it is properly seated and usable. Nothing...

Maybe I have missed this, but it doesn't seem like there is USB music in the 3? Stuck my Model S USB music stick in the 3 USB port (disconnected a phone dock cord) and... nothing. No change to the music screen. Does anyone know if it is planned for the future? Color me disappointed...

Just ran across this product - Tesla Model S Ultimate Kit from BA Design Works. I don't work for them. Looks like drop in 6.5" Rockford Fosgate speakers rated at 1.2 ohms with brackets and a sub/amp in the trunk for $995 available next month. Any thoughts? I've got a 2015 70D that comes off...

I’ve been having an issue with our M3 unlocking and flashing its lights automatically, since my home is directly over our open air car port. My iPhone X is probably no more than 30’ from the car at any time, and the phone key connects just a little too well. Today I used the Tesla app to unlock...

My front passenger window has been "rough" going up since I first received my car. I thought it might be lack of grease on the slides for the window. I had the need to fix my passenger door handle today ( white wire broken on the moment switch to open the door from the outside) while starting...

I have a issue On model 3 FM Radio its stuck on 102.1 and will not change , did a hard reset with no change! any advice?

Just got my M3 , prior Model S owner, it seems on a fwy driving I get a notice to hold the wheels every 90 sec or so vs on model S I could go a good five or ten mins before I get a notice , has any one notice this between the two cars?

While at a traffic light today, I was futzing with the center console (the hatch just in front of the cupholder, not the armrest), trying to click it closed. Apparently I was a little too aggressive (opening and closing it a bit too forcefully). Got a message on the display telling me to "Close...

Has anyone else seen this bug where the app is reporting that the charge port is open, but the charge port is in fact closed?

So the music player app in the car has been displaying this extremely forgetful behaviour for about a year now, and I finally got to asking about it. The player frequently forgets its own status when a car is locked, or even doors closed, or when a phone call is made. It usually goes like this...

Made a video about all of the known Model S Easter Eggs and how to properly activate them (not via the basket). I think most of them are known, but some may not be or have some details that people missed (like on the James Bond one).

I am getting warnings several times a week, and I just got my car. I have been very please with performance otherwise. So far I have seen: - auto park disabled - suspension disabled - emergency brake disabled It started with auto park warning with exclamation symbol. Then it moved on to...

So I and kids get to the preheated car, I fasten them in the rear seats, start to remove snow from the car. Then music stops until I open the door again. Sometimes its even good to lock just to make the door handles retract, instead of catch more snow. (in case of slushy/wet snow.) So I wish...

FYI Tesla's in-car trip planning tool is available on the web

Hey TMC, So do we AP1 peeps also have the ability to get the Easter egg menu in the about section? If not, What Easter eggs do I have and how can I do them? Looking to have some fun :)

I am having a hard time understanding the reason why my M3 only shows the battery percentage in lieu of a corresponding mile range. Why do I need to try to calculate the mile range as I am driving? My MS shows the mileage and although I know it is not 100% correct and changes based on my...

A few months ago I started getting very intermittent loading errors when playing my music from a flash drive. I replaced the drive but the errors continued. The flash drive contains a mix of mp3s, m4a, and flac. The loading error can happen on any file, and after it occurs, I can touch...

Current Model S owner with an M3 reservation (that appears to be expected Q2 of 2023)... I'm shocked daily that Tesla manages to sell Model S/X that have zero smartphone functionality for SMS, proper podcast and music service control. I suspect buyers just assume surely the car with a 17" LCD...

I was in marching band in high school. I think that causes me to be more sensitive to how quickly a string of cars starts moving after the light turns green. In marching, you start on the first beat, everyone, same time, same gap. As opposed to: first car goes, second car goes when there is a...

We took delivery of a new Model 3 yesterday. We had no problem connecting both of our iPhones up as "keys" to accommodate keyless entry and start. Overall, the functionality seemed great, until we realized the app always needs to be running and then this morning my wife's phone/app showed...

Real life experience: lots of driving my X90D over past few weeks with family in town, luggage, grandchildren, car seat, shopping and airport runs. Usually it’s just my wife and I so this experience could be more like daily for a soccer Mom. It’s 12degF, we’re standing in the slush of a...

Any current owners also have difficulty connecting via the app? Sometimes it takes multiple refreshes to even grab a connection before "Vehicle Connection Error" pops up. Seems like the LTE connection could use a software update or two.

Using Tesla app, Remote S or Teslafi, when I turn on climate, it stays on for 5-10 seconds and then shuts off. 90% charge, plugged in or not, makes no difference. Wondering if this is local to me, or if anyone else is seeing this?

So the arrangement of my house is such that my phone is close enough for the 3 to detect it as a key whenever I'm in my office or bedroom. Anyone think this a problem? I noticed when walking around my garage doing some work that the 3 kept unlocking and locking itself (mirrors closing and...

I took delivery of a X 100D two weeks ago. I have noticed the TACC and Autopilot were unavailable from the beginning of my drive on a couple of occasions. Then mysteriously both become available; road conditions did not prevent them. Anyone experience this and any ideas why? Also I noticed...

i installed the .50 update a couple weeks ago and my rear camera image has frozen a couple times since. I have to reboot to restore it. Has anyone else experienced this?

I just opened the Tesla app on my iPhone to check on my Model S. The app is version 3.2.3 (34599d8f1) and I was surprised to find that if I swipe left a section comes up about Powerwall. Is this something new or just something I've not seen before? I do have a Powerwall coming someday but...

I haven't seen any buttons for headlights on the steering wheel. Is that true? How can we flash the headlights?

I don't recall the car doing this when I got it with .46, but the radio appears to lower its volume when the doors are opened. Did anyone notice the same thing?

I have noticed an odd thing with the big screen display. If it is in Park and the screen background is white (like in Controls), the display pulses. It's bright for a few seconds and blinks slightly dim a split second and returns to bright. It only happens in Park not Drive. What can be causing...

What does this do? I have pressed it during the day and at night with dome lights on and off and don't notice any difference.

My hearing aids Bluetooth to my cell, car, and Television. Will they pair to the Tesla Model 3?

from my perspective, we can safely eliminate the LTE latency theory of “2017 max bandwidth reached”. As os 2018, mine still sucks...50-250 kbps. I plan to call better business bureau and report this tomorrow. At a minimum, I want the 5k extra I paid for enhanced computer system. In short...
