It was put in long before things like dog mode and camp mode, as a way of reducing/stopping child deaths in cars. In the US cars didn't have motion sensors until around 2020 IIRC.

Tweets about it are getting old now, but Elon has occasionally refererred to it.

Thanks for your detailed observations BTW @Durzel

It's good to have definitive confirmation that opening a door really does count as a drive. I've seen it stated before but, as opening a door will wake the car, it's easy for people to draw wrong conclusions if they're unaware of the undocumented behaviour.

I thought of it to be more of a feature when you park your car near the beach on a hot and sunny day for the car to remain <40°C, so it takes less time to cool down further when you return to the car.

16.3 is not activating cabin overheat protection for me. It's enabled. Interior is 53C

Same here, I drive to work and it doesn't do anything during my time at work. Can't say I have checked it at other times.

I've seen elsewhere it claimed that overheat protection doesn't work with Sentry and the Tilt alarm active. Mine worked yesterday - alarm was on, but sentry wasn't so perhaps that does need to be off?

I know at home where I don't use sentry mode. I have heard fans going. I didn't stay to find out how long they were running for, so I have no idea what they were running for.

 

[Burley]

The fan will run for 20-30 minutes after a drive, but i think its just the climate one passing air over the heat exchanger to dry it out so it doesn't start to smell bad, so it could be that one you've heard. I usually leave mine set on overheat protection without AC and I'm really not sure that works. Yesterday, as soon as i changed it over to with AC on the app, it started up immediately.

• In addition to cooling the interior, the air conditioning compressor also cools the Battery. Therefore, in hot weather, the air conditioning compressor can turn on even if you turned it off. This is normal because the system’s priority is to cool the Battery to ensure it stays within an optimum temperature range to support longevity and optimum performance.
• Even when not in use, you may hear Model 3 emit a whining noise or the sound of water circulating. These sounds are normal and occur when the internal cooling systems turn on to support various vehicle functions, such as maintaining the low voltage battery and balancing the temperature of the high voltage Battery.

Yes, that’s my experience (MS 75); I cannot turn on overheat protection with the alarm active. Sentry was disabled.

Anyone have issues with Disney plus? I was logged out of my account but got as far as inputting the pin code (for Disney) but it looks like there’s an incompatibility in the browser. It doesn’t allow number entry in the pin section. You can click into each number and move on to the next field but it fails to recognise the return on submit function.

Yes. Same problem

Yes. Same problem

Excellent. It’s not just me then. Hopefully a fix is on the way.

Same problem. Not just you.

Today was the first time I've driven the car for a few weeks and happened to notice that the visualisations for other cars has changed, where before they looked like very rounded Model 3's they now look like boxy Japanese cars from the 80's.

Finally getting to update from 2022.12.3.6 to 2022.16.3

 

[Leejmoff]

anyone notice the icons like "seat temp" and "Steering wheel temp" keep disappearing after you add them to the bottom bar. I've done it three times and they just don't stay down there. Its annoying.

 

[spooksman]

I've had my car for more than two years, but today, for the first time, I saw a message saying 'Auto Defogging'... It only stayed there about 30 seconds and then disappeared.

Has that always been there?

 

[MrT3]

Has that always been there?

Been there as a capability for a while I believe, but you will only see it if the car is actually performing 'auto defogging'. I've never seen it in my car.

Wonder why my car decided to do that today for the first time

that’s spooky i’m on 16.3 and noticed it for the first time this morning too
