That’s encouraging, maybe I can get mine fixed.Mine starts only when it's in Drive or Reverse.
Mine starts up if I press the brake pedal before buckling the seat belt. No chime is heard if I sit down, buckle the seat belt, then press the brake pedal.Is it just my car or do all M3's have a seatbelt chime that starts as soon as your rear end hits the seat? It's driving kinda nuts, it literally starts as soon as my butt hits the seat.

This happened to me when I first bought my Model 3. Apparently when I sit down in a the driver seat I put my foot on the brake without even thinking about it (and get rewarded with the chime). I'm more conscious of it now.Mine starts up if I press the brake pedal before buckling the seat belt. No chime is heard if I sit down, buckle the seat belt, then press the brake pedal.
For me it's more of a safety thing related to driving manual transmission cars. I'd always hold the clutch down in preparation to start the vehicle, and of course you also must hold the brake before doing so for safety. With ICE cars it's always better to let the engine idle a bit before driving if the engine is cold, so I'd start the vehicle then put my seatbelt on. These old habits are a pain to kick!I guess the habit that I'm in is to immediately put on my seatbelt before doing anything, as I rarely hear the chime. I suppose it's a well learned habit to step on the brake as you enter the vehicle, but considering the car didn't move anywhere on its own the whole time it was unoccupied and the parking brake is set until you hit the brake pedal, I don't think it's a serious issue to sit down in the seat and not immediately hit the brake.
I had a similar useless habit that I continued to do well into the 2000's that probably hadn't been an issue since the 60's: I always turned off the AC before starting the car (because that's what my dad told me to do). That's not even possible with modern cars like the Model 3! Eventually I got used to not turning it off, but it always felt "wrong".
I think you hit the nail on the head; I drove stick for a long time. As such, being able to turn Creep off was very nice; the car automagically going into Hold as soon as you brake to a stop is downright magical, though I still feel like I'm doing something wrong when I'm stopped at an intersection and am deliberately not depressing the brake.driving manual transmission cars
Haha I can't trust the hold even after all this time I hover my foot off the brake in case it randomly lets go. Another silly old habit of mine.I think you hit the nail on the head; I drove stick for a long time.

Wait, hold comes on automatically for you? I have to press down on the brake.I think you hit the nail on the head; I drove stick for a long time.

With Creep turned off, Hold will come on as soon as you brake to a stop. On an incline or decline, you have to brake slightly more firmly.Wait, hold comes on automatically for you? I have to press down on the brake.
Makes sense. Thanks!!With Creep turned off, Hold will come on as soon as you brake to a stop. On an incline or decline, you have to brake slightly more firmly.
With Creep turned on, Hold will come on once you brake to a stop, and then press the brake very firmly.
