They're moving towards it. M3Ps starting Spring 2023 had amber rear turn signals, with the Y-style tail lights. However, you can't really have globally compatible head lights and tail lights because every country can be just different enough, not even accounting for the LHD/RHD countries...

Have you? In all the rentals I've driven with that blinky-light warning system, with the mirrors properly adjusted, I can see the car in the mirror the blinky-light is warning me about, making it absolutely redundantly useless. Seriously, it's in the mirror before the blinky-light turns on...

Considering the fouled threads, I'm guessing a rejected bolt that wasn't discarded. --Carlos V.

Had a random rattle in the rear deck of my Model 3P that I picked up in April. I didn't bring it in because I didn't notice it until I already messed with the trim to update some internal lighting, so I made the assumption it was my fault for knocking something loose. Primarily something...

Ah, April 1st, where people try to show how clever they are.....and fail badly.

M3P Red w/ white interior. Burbank Delivery. No financing. Pay in full, with help from the insurance settlement from my first-delivery RWD M3 getting T-boned by a red light runner. (and the check was sizable!) Ordered Thu March 9 w/ expected delivery as "March" VIN a week later Thu March 16...

Yup. For me, with less damage than yours, was a total loss once the repair bill topped $30K and still growing. No airbags went off on this low-speed T-bone. But it did break the steering rod.

I listen to a lot of continuous-mix stuff, and the V10 Spotify inter-track gaps are annoying. All the other clients do seamless-play, but the Tesla client pauses a bit to load the next track, interrupting any beat or dialog.

I just got 2019.32.2.2 today, and the issue is fixed. --Carlos V.

And even though it's an old thread, just to close out the phantom, the OP was chasing a non-existent part (for the Model 3). Oh, it exists, but it's for the Model S. From his Tesla Parts catalog link, up on top, the breadcrumb header: --Carlos V.

I just got 2019.28.3.1 and it still unfolds at first summon.

No.

Actually, it's weirder than my first report. Even if the mirrors are already folded (like if the car is locked) the mirrors will unfold at first summon. They properly fold on the subsequent summons. The seat thing going in and out of easy entry during summon has been around since summon was...

Hey all, Odd bit I noticed once I got 2019.28.2. The wing mirrors no longer fold on the first summon attempt. They start folding, but then instantly reverse themselves and extend on the first time I attempt summon. If I let go and try again, the 2nd time will have a successful fold to...

I have a 2XL, and Pie didn't change the behavior. From 100% to 100%. --Carlos V.

Yes, you still need the front plate, and from the few I've seen on the street so far, it's still your standard metal plate. --Carlos V.

I just turn up the volume on the stereo as I'm usually listening to Trance/Progressive. Pedestrians figure it out quickly as the subwoofer in the trunk goes into overdrive. Maybe I'll drop the window if they're oblivious. --Carlos "untz untz untz" V.

Settings->Battery->The 3 dots in the upper right->Battery Optimization. Set the Tesla app to "Don't Optimize". You may have to switch the pulldown to "All Apps" to find the Tesla App. Edit: This is with the stock Android. See your favorite vendor's documentation (Huawei, Samsung, etc.) if...

Since the news about the Android app battery monitoring tip came out, there have been ZERO issues for me and the phone key. Before that, there were a few incidences of slowness. Like 10-15 seconds before the app woke up. Now, I can't remember where the delay has been more than a 1-count...

It's the same size as my S2000. --Carlos V.

For me, it cycles through twice, then quits. --Carlos V.

Probably to be able to mount wheel sensors for data collection. --Carlos V.

The 3 only needs 4 pulls. --Carlos V.

Yeah, the DRLs are on all the time, even with the headlights selected to "off". (the "eyebrow" region above the headlights, and the linear strips down low by the fog lamps/reflectors) I do turn off the headlights on occasion. Mainly when entering a covered/indoor garage. I find it useful...

Two items: 1) Slacker free is not supported in the car. It has to be one of the paid ones to use your personal account. 2) For a custom station to show up in the car, it has to be added to "My Music" via the app or the web page. --Carlos V.

TACC has also gone into hold for me when I manually creep forward closer to the car in front so the car behind can squeeze into a turn lane. Tapping the accelerator re-engages it. After a while you learn the cadence of distance of the car in front vs. TACC moving again, and can quickly...

There is a secondary latch. The primary and secondary disengage when you pop the frunk. The secondary re-engages if you wait too long to open the frunk. (you can hear the latch motor when it does) If you look down the striker, you can see both latches. --Carlos V.

It's like leaving something obvious for the safety inspector to catch to distract enough to miss the real safety issues. You just covered up the fake camera. --Carlos "that's what they said" V.

Uhh, that's what the TeslaM3_valet.pdf file is. Unless you mean the keycard itself. That you have in your wallet already. Black, the Tesla logo on one side, lock/unlock diagram on the back. I insert the keycard in the bifold with that picture facing outwards (not the Tesla logo side)...

On the rare occasion that I can't avoid valet (or have to give it to some other attendant or mechanic) I bought this windowed bi-fold with keyring: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002LC5ZS2/ And ginned up an instruction card and laminated it. Looks like this in the bi-fold: And the...

Nope. No other issues. The motor disable event on my very first night was the one and only "PFR"[1] on the car. I haven't even had center screen reset or phone-as-key issues. I haven't been able to duplicate it since. My co-worker has had center screen reboot problems (once in my presence...

That would have been me in this thread: Rear motor disabled It's called "transport mode" in the configuration screens. Starting in "Park", Controls > Service > Towing. Hit the Transport Mode button until it turns blue.

19" on OEM rubber. Top down is irreproducible.

He's following Musk's lead. Musk pronounces it with a Z, though he doesn't care how every one else pronounces it. Though the odd thing, I've heard Musk pronounce the historical figure's name (Nikola Tesla) correctly with the sibilant S, even though he pronounces the company name with the Z...

I posted a quick review of the TM3 on twisties on another board, copied below. This is not from the perspective of a race driver, but a dude with a few instructor led track days on both motorcycles and cars, who doesn't aim to really go "fast" but to have fun in corners...

I only hear wind noise when I hit a crosswind. --Carlos V

I had one rattle, but realized it sounded just like the rattle I get on my S2000, so like the S2000, I just adjusted the seat so the passenger seat belt buckle wasn't bouncing on the b-pillar, and it was gone. --Carlos V.

Another BEV enthusiast who owned the same year and model of EV that I did before the TM3 mentioned our VW e-Golf (2015) had a very similar issue with motor-disabled-while-driving that turned into a model-wide recall. Volkswagen e-Golf recalled for drive motor issue | Volkswagen e-Golf Forum...

We got mentioned. A Number of Tesla Model 3 Owners Are Complaining Their Cars Mysteriously Conked Out - The Truth About Cars Since my incident, I have had zero issues (and zero regrets) with the car. Even the maligned phone-as-key issues have avoided me. --Carlos V.

I was unbuckled as well on my incident. No garage door opener, so it was after manually opening the door. --Carlos V.

3/18 on the door jamb. 80xx, Mar 31 Car works fine, now with no service call or visit. --Carlos V.

It's happened to me, too. It happened to me first night with the car as i was pulling into the garage and repositioning. Switched from reverse to drive and as soon as I pressed the accelerator the car put the motor in protection mode and behaved as the OP. Doing the suggested steps as the OP...

They'll also light up in brake hold mode, whether or not you have creep turned on or off. --Carlos V.

Yeah, I'm also a proponent of "no valet", and for the most part I am able to avoid them, but occasionally, I am forced to for some reason or another. So I got a bi-fold card holder something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002LC5ZS2/ And wrote up a quick set of instructions...

Getting real, now. Delivery scheduled for Saturday evening.

Contacted by the ISA today from a VIN assigned on Saturday. Red, 19", 80xx --Carlos V.

Mine took 10/11 days from configuration to VIN showing up on my Tesla account. Still waiting for a delivery call. (Configure 3/13, VIN 3/24)

Though I haven't been contacted by an ISA, yet, I notice a VIN has appeared on my Tesla account. On a Saturday, no less. Configured March 13, VIN March 24th.

Rain? A car wash? *grin* --Carlos "you mean damping" V.
