I think before you write a feature off as not working, you may want to contact Tesla and have them mark your vehicle as delivered. When it is in pre-delivery mode lots of strange things can occur. The bonus though is supercharging is totally free until they mark it as delivered...

Didn't think I put it in drive to get them to work last time?
Just went out and tried it, sure enough, fog lights work in neutral, does not have to be in drive, for my model anyway.
Gotta love this car!
Was stuck behind a very smokey Pajero Deisel this evening. (shame the Model 3 doesn't have biohazard filter)
When I got home, reviewed the recent clips, got his rego, and reported him to the EPA!

I remember reading here on TMC a while ago about some problems some Hawaiians were having. Similar situation to yours: speed limit data not available (if I recall correctly) so car defaults to 30 mph or something totally inappropriate. Meant that they basically couldn't use AutoPilot on that bit of road because they couldn't manually over-ride the (wrong, & too-low) default by a large enough margin.
No solution at the time other than to try to have the road data updated... Hope things have changed somehow since then; there's a new 40km/h zone near me and car always wants to do 60 (yeah different problem but still related).
On a positive note, I parked the Model 3 in my garage early on Saturday morning at 69%, and on Sunday afternoon when we got home, it was still on 69%. I refrained from opening the App while away, and don't have Sentry enabled. I notice that the Tesla widget (iPhone) doesn't wake the car if it's asleep, whereas opening the App appears to do so. Is that correct? Very useful, as I can look at the widget and it won't bother the car if it's asleep, but if my wife's on the way home (i.e. driving), then the widget does update and I can e.g. start making dinner.
Been taking neighbours for drives. Everyone has been really interested. They're impressed by the (SR+) acceleration and the young kids love the farts - much to the chagrin of my wife who doesn't like me showing them that 'feature' (while they're laughing hysterically).
Really enjoying this thing, in case that wasn't clear.

I turned on Emissions Testing Mode with my family in the car. My sister was in hysterics, almost to the point of crying with laughter, while my mother was begging me to turn it off.

Never tried running it overnight, but from what I've seen in general I would definitely switch it off for anything over a week. 4 days probably fine as long as you don't need a ton of charge to get to/from the airport.
There seems to be...I've noticed on several occasions that I can dial up the AP max speed arbitrarily high (well beyond the normal +10kph limit, like to 140kph in a 100 zone). It doesn't always happen, and seems to be fairly random when it does. Aggressively scrolling the right wheel shortly after engaging AP seems to help, though honestly I have no idea why sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
Never tried it when the road in front of the car was clear, so no idea if the car would actually accelerate to the displayed limit if/when given the chance.
Omg anyone sat in their M3 as it has done an update. The bangs and resets of various systems are kinda scary. I thought something broke under the hood! If it had pistons I would have thought one just went through the bonnet (have actually seen this in a Ford Falcon 500 many years ago. LOL! Anyway second update of the days seems nearly finished. The black screen is kind of disconcerting though! I am hoping it has worked.
BTW it is great that Tunein supports ABC Newsradio. Without DAB was kind lost without it.
Same here with the latest update to 2019.21.12.2 Made clunks,various noises and then what sounded like the coolant pump being activated flat out gurgling for a couple of minutes. All updated ok. No specific release notes tho
Mine just started the 2019.21.12.2 update and I am now tossing up between going to listen or waiting? I think I'll wait rather not have all the unknown sounds to contemplate
Just going back a few pages with regards to Sentry mode.. I posted almost 2 weeks ago after receiving my p3+ as I was concerned with excessive phantom drain when sentry mode was activated. I was using at least 2 percent per day and that was with the car parked in an underground car park with very little traffic.
I have just spent 4 days in hospital this week and my car was parked at home in the garage with sentry mode deactivated. My car used less than 2 percent battery in five days. I was waking the car up constantly via the app as it was the only thing I had to keep me sane whilst I recovered from pneumonia. Cheers.

Yes that is the correct adapter. However I bought the cable version as I am concerned that the amount of leverage the adapter puts on the charge port could eventually damage it. This is what I bought.

Adding to Mark's comment, the Type 1 to Type 2 adaptors (from JetCharge and others) are typically 0.6m long, so when plugged into the car the connection to the Type 1 plug 'hangs' just inches from the ground... the extra weight is suspended and adds to the pull on the charge port.
With this in mind I customized mine to 1.0m length, the connection now sits on the ground and I have enough 'slack' push it just under the car behind the rear wheel so as to minimize any trip hazard, a precautionary measure esp. in Shopping Centres.

No point calling Tesla, they never pick up. Nearest supercharger is 2100km away so not much use to me haha.

When I first got my car, it had older V9 software. It got updated to V9 latest the next morning. With that software version I had really bad drain overnight on the car. Even though I had excluded home from Sentry mode, it still recorded in the garage and by next morning I had lost 6-7% every morning. I played around and got it to loss of 3% by morning by disabling Bluetooth on my phone. Now I have had 4 updates to newer V10 so far and it appears that all that drain stuff and disabling Bluetooth is behind me. After last update I left the Bluetooth on and did not manually disable the Sentry mode in the garage and the battery only lost 1% overnight. So even though they did not add useful release notes, it does appear they have fixed the drain on my car. I am on v10 2019.32.12.2 software now.
