I got a survey from Telsa today asking about the delivery experience. If we all get one, hopefully the feedback we give will improve the experience and communication for the next round.

My question is based on implications on the rest of Page 103 and Page 104:.I had no idea that WiFi was available on the Model 3 now. Which software version enabled it? My surprise is based on Page 103 of the Owner's Manual (April 20, 2018) that states: Note: Wi-Fi is not available at this time but is expected to be implemented in a near future software update.
I just use my Spotify (premium) via Bluetooth from my phone to avoid exactly what you are describing.Quirky thing with the music player. Search by Song name, find song, click on song and get a random song from the same artist or another artist. Anyone else? (How do I favorite 1 song??! - make a play list?)
When my buddy in southern New Jersey got his Model S last year, he filled his out with brutal honesty as well. Never heard a peep.I submitted mine about half an hour ago. I was brutally honest.
My question is based on implications on the rest of Page 103 and Page 104:.
Wi-Fi is available as a data connection method
and is often faster than cellular data networks.
Connecting to Wi-Fi is especially useful in
areas with limited or no cellular connectivity.
To ensure fast, reliable delivery of Model 3
updates (see Software Updates on page 103),
Tesla recommends leaving Wi-Fi turned on
and connected to a Wi-Fi network. To connect
to a Wi-Fi network:
From page 104:
Note: Some software updates can take up to
three hours to complete. Model 3 must be in
Park while the new software is being installed.
To ensure the fastest and most reliable
delivery of software updates, leave the Wi-Fi
turned on and connected whenever possible
(see Connecting to Wi-Fi on page 102).
WiFi is NOT available for us to serf the web on....but it seems implicit that Tesla wants us to connect to our home WiFi network for the sole purpose of communication with the mother-ship regarding software updates and machine learning uploads......
Thanks for the tip.You can't currently connect to your own WiFi networks in the Model 3. The option simply isn't there. It will auto-connect to the WiFi at a service center when you are there, though.
If you are referring to Slacker Radio, that's the way it works. I have it in my Model S and on my phone. No different. You need a premium subscription to do what you are asking, and as far as I know from my MS, there is no option to upgrade the service in-car.I just use my Spotify (premium) via Bluetooth from my phone to avoid exactly what you are describing.
Great, I'm supposed to pick up my car tomorrow at 11am and my MVPA was there this morning, so I thought I was good. Now it looks like it's disappeared from my account. Isn't this the sign that a phone call is coming? :-(
I was worried as well. My VIN is 3023X. Paint is perfect, bumpers and all.
I just want to say to everyone out there receiving their Model 3s, BE CAREFUL with driver assist! I and so many others that I've met do things by trial and error rather than reading the manual first. There are many things that level 1 "autopilot" doesn't do that first time drivers need to be aware of when activating it for the first time. I activated it on a city street and had it autosteer and follow the car ahead of me very well the first time using it. That is until that car turned right on the red light and my car started to accelerate towards that red light, as nothing was in it's way. I had to hit the brakes pretty hard to avoid going through.
I wonder how many accidents on "autopilot" could have been avoided if the driver was fully aware of the large and small shortcomings of the current iteration of it.
I was on the road a couple of weeks ago and was coming up on another Model S and a red light. There was a stalled car in his lane 40 feet before the red light, not mine. When I passed him, I saw that he was facing the side window looking on his phone, not even looking forward, obviously (or should I say obliviously) on autopilot. His car stopped behind the stalled car, while other cars were going around it. I watching him in my mirror as I sat at the red light, and as everyone started to move, he was still sitting there looking at his phone.
So please, understand what limitations and when it is safe to use the driver assistance features before you use them. AP will not stop at stop signs or red lights without a car in front of you. AP will not make turns for you, avoid wheel swallowing pot holes, accelerating rather than decelerating onto off-ramps, or make safe lane changes if someone is also merging into that same lane from the other side
Where AP excels is in the bumper to bumper highway traffic where you are stop and go for a long time due to accident, rush hour, or construction.Or getting your attention if you are drifting off. As it say when you engage it, please have your hands on the wheel and be aware at all times, being ready to take control.
I'm sure that this has been covered in the forums already, but I'm posting this here so the new M3 drivers will see it and be smart about using the features.
That was a couple of years ago. I learned that the easy way. Maybe not everyone will. Not just city roads, but highway driving in AP isn't close to perfect either. New owners need to be aware of that. I met someone at the supercharger at Sherway Gardens earlier this week, who had just picked up their M3 that day. Said they couldn't wait to try out AP on the way home. I asked if the orientation at the International Centre filled them in on AP, they said "no". So I did.what did you think was going to happen? it clearly isn't ready for driving on city roads.
And to add to excellent summary, understand the difference between "relative" and "absolute" settings as they pertain to speed control.I just want to say to everyone out there receiving their Model 3s, BE CAREFUL with driver assist!

I find the current iteration of autopilot very crude and mechanical.That was a couple of years ago. I learned that the easy way. Maybe not everyone will. Not just city roads, but highway driving in AP isn't close to perfect either. New owners need to be aware of that. I met someone at the supercharger at Sherway Gardens earlier this week, who had just picked up their M3 that day. Said they couldn't wait to try out AP on the way home.

Another tip, non AP related.
Scenario is you're in a drive thru, on a slight incline, your passenger is sipping a hot drink. You release pressure on the brake to allow the car to slowly roll ahead to the first window, while unbuckling and lifting your but to grab you wallet from your back pocket. Car senses unbuckle, followed by removal of weight from drivers seat, and suddenly throws the parking brake on, passenger wears their drink. Happened to me a couple of times (without the passenger scenario).
