fudevm | Bioweapon Defense Mode | is the filter always working? when you turn it on it starts blasting. does it switch to circulate only instead of outside air? is the filter less effective when its not on? | lowbread | 2020-04-03 18:14:54 | 33 | fmc4ze2 | Always working when you are drawing outside air as opposed to recirculate. Bioweapon defence mode is a setting where the fan goes on high speed to push all the air out of the car and create higher pressure in the car than outside such that outside air won t enter the vehicle | GoTeslaGo | 2020-04-03 18:36:47 | 41 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

iq76lh | Bioweapon Filter for Bay Area Air Quality? | Does anyone know if the Bioweapon filter is meant to handle the air quality problems in the bay area right now? The air quality index is 200-300 today from all the fires surrounding us. I thought this feature was neat in a theoretical way but now I m wondering how practical it really is. I m sure it helps a lot but I m mostly curious if it filters a meaningful amount of the dangerous components. | desertrose123 | 2020-09-10 16:52:00 | 50 | g4piv3o | I have a PM2.5 meter and indeed it s reading around 200 outside and within minutes of enabling bioweapon defense mode the inside PM2.5 drops down to less than 10. It can t filter every poisonous gas but it s extremely effective at filtering particle matter. | chillaban | 2020-09-10 17:00:26 | 92 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

hcrdkm | Bismark North Dakota SC is live completing the chargers along the last major east-west Interstate | It was reported moments ago that the Bismark North Dakota Supercharger is live [on the Tesla Motors Club forums](https: teslamotorsclub.com tmc threads bismarck-nd-supercharger-location.147031 page-9). supercharge.info and the Tesla navigation system haven t been updated yet but a couple of people have already successfully charged there.

Had I not planned to use this I would have been in extremis (even with a LR RWD) going from Little Rock SC to Muskogee OK airport destination charger. Even with this stop I still could not make it to OKC so planned my trip around the Catoosa SC (by Tulsa). Fort Smith AR would be the PERFECT place for closing this gap. | Just_another_Masshol | 2020-06-20 20:40:51 | 19 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |

cvqe1x | Black Paint Discount on In-Inventory Model 3SR+ and P3D- | Just heard from my Tesla rep that apparently in-inventory Model 3SR+ and P3D- are being discounted the cost of the black paint ($750) in order to increase sales. Something about having a shitload of SR+ in inventory and wanting to sell them before the end of the quarter (September 30th) she has no idea why the P3D- is included in this offer.

hh6nqr | Black Screen of Death? | I have a 2015 Model S 90D. Today my center screen went black. No A C no GPS no anything that deals with the center screen. Car drives but that is pretty much it. From what I am finding online this likely has to do with a chip that has burned out. To add a cherry on top - I hit my bumper into an object that I would ve seen had my sensors been on and the rearview camera working. It seems crazy to me that normal wear and tear can result in losing essentially all of the tech features of my car instantly. Has anyone dealt with this? Any way to get around this outside of paying $2500 to have it replaced? | Spac3Ghost | 2020-06-28 02:27:39 | 26 | fw9j7x4 | Please file a complaints in the NHTSA website-- https: www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov VehicleComplaint There is an ongoing investigating into these failures and you can help compel Tesla to recall and fix. | TeslaPittsburgh | 2020-06-28 13:37:45 | 20 | Tesla ownership feedback and issues |

98jdum | Black screen when getting into car | About half the time when I go to get into the car the screen will be black and remain black for about 20 seconds before the tesla logo comes up and then everything is normal. This can happen after leaving the car for all different periods of time- overnight 8 hours 5 minutes. But the other half of the time after those same time periods I can come out to my car and the screen will be on immediately after unlocking. The LTE also takes a minute or two to come up in these cases. Sometimes when I try remotely connecting with the app I ll get multiple vehicle connection error warnings and maybe on the third will finally get a successful connection. Makes me think the these errors are associated with the car being in the black screen state. Ive had the issue since I got the car with 21.9 and 28.3 did not fix it. Any ideas? Edit:Forgot to mention its a model 3 | hendrixx007 | 2018-08-19 10:33:42 | 15 | e4gkdvm | Pretty sure this means the car is in deep sleep.

bz6pm6 | Blind Driver | I am currently unable to drive as I am totally blind. Is there any plans to add a screenreader or total voice control when teslas are completely autonomous so blind people will be able to drive independently? I ve tried finding information online but could only find a forum thread about whether a blind passenger could control the radio and air conditioner. Does anyone know of anything that will be implemented that s along these lines? | CloudsOfMagellan | 2019-06-11 02:17:08 | 17 | eqqfpne | I don t know any specifics but I d wager it is a very high priority to extend this ability to the blind as soon as possible.

ef4mqj | Blind Spot Chime | Has anyone been able to get the Blind Spot chime feature to actually work? I was very excited when I heard this feature was being implemented but I haven t ever been able to activate it despite turning on my turn signal when there is a car in my blind spot. Not to be overly dramatic but I think the current implementation is actually dangerous as it provides a false sense of security. | getcashmoney | 2019-12-24 17:52:31 | 39 | fby7k9d | The chime goes off if you try to merge into the car. Otherwise you ll just see the red lane line on your display warning of a car in your blind spot. | Tesla_Model_Y | 2019-12-24 17:53:31 | 32 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
fe464g | Blind Spot Warning | Not sure if this exists but I don t believe it does. Model 3 LR RWD owner.

Go Tesla Go. | ecpowerhouse27 | 2020-03-05 23:23:33 | 19 | fjlojrz | There is but only when you re actively changing lanes into another car (I d say wheel over the line).

blfqia | Blind spot Notification | Had a Model 3 for a couple weeks now and everything has been great. I am currently on 12.2. I was pulling out of my garage yesterday and got a notification that blind spot detection was disable and it asked if I wanted to schedule service. It went away so I didn t think much of it. Today when I pulled in my garage I got a notification that blind spot detection was “limited”. Seems to only happen in my garage which obviously isn t a big deal but am curious if this is normal??? | Cliffs-Brother-Joe | 2019-05-06 18:25:31 | 15 | emo0s0c | I get it in my garage as well.

dwz0wz | Blind spot assist lane watch | Tesla really should use audio panning to help with blind spot assist . If you are turning the side of the screen should flash red and an audible chime from that side should indicate if there is a car there or not. The sensitivity should adjust too so you can give yourself more time to react. I think incorporating direction chimes can really help with the lack of indicators in the rear view mirrors Also if the rear camera is activated while driving if an indicator is turned on then the camera should switch to that side . Can we adjust the dimming of the mirrors . I can t even use them when driving in nyc | qsue47 | 2019-11-15 23:45:54 | 51 | f7mj3h7 | How about a picture in picture live stream of the cameras | ShaftSlap | 2019-11-16 00:38:12 | 20 | Tesla Sentry Mode Setup |
kku2zq | Blind spot monitoring much improved after X-mas update ? | Hi everyone. I ve had my 2021 model 3 for about a week now and one of the things that really bothered me with the car was the really poor options for blind-spot monitoring. Before taking delivery I knew that this was a common complaint but I assumed that you would just use the visualization on the display to monitor your blind-spot. That turned out to not be true as the car would not consistently display your blindspot. That seems to have been fixed with the xmas update. I had a 5 hour road-trip today and paid close attention to the visualization on the display. I would notice that the instant a car begins to move to my blindspot it would always show up on the visualization. For the entire 5 hour drive I noticed this to be true which makes me extremely happy. Curious to see if anyone else has noticed the same ? | Soysauceonrice | 2020-12-27 01:08:32 | 29 | gh4gvh5 | They should activate the side cameras when you initiate the turn signal. | RedElmo65 | 2020-12-27 01:22:29 | 29 | Tesla Sentry Mode Setup |
k3mut8 | Blind spot monitoring. | Hello everyone! I hope this kind of post is allowed here because I m not entirely certain where else to ask. Anyway so I just got my new Model Y and I love it especially the autopilot. One bit of difficulty that I m having is that having come from Mercedes and Lexus I am very much used to (and rely upon) those little lights at the edge of the side mirrors that show me if someone is in my blind spot. This makes changing lanes a little stressful and I find myself turning my head around like in the olden days. I m sure there is a trick to it that I just haven t discovered yet. Quickly skimming through the manual revealed nothing. Since a lot of people here probably encountered the same issue could someone please share the recommended approach? I d much appreciate it. Thank you! =) **Edit:** I m well aware of the correct way to set the mirrors. I m an old man after all. :D | OldManWithAQuill | 2020-11-30 02:24:15 | 20 | ge42htj | turning my head around like in the olden days ??? I think that is standard procedure. I do that no matter if I am driving a car with or without blind spot monitoring. That is bad practice to rely upon those indicators and not check yourself. | some_random_chap | 2020-11-30 03:15:45 | 31 | Tesla Sentry Mode Setup |
95q65u | Blindspot Monitoring | So a few weeks ago I ve configured a Model 3 AWD. I ll be stepping up from a 2014 Honda Civic. One of the features that my Civic has that I find myself missing in other cars I drive is LaneWatch. For those that don t know this is a camera mounted on the passenger side mirror that activates when you turn on the right turn signal. It gives you a very clear view of the right side of the car including the blindspot. (Unfortunately it s right side only I guess because the driver side blindspot is pretty easy to check yourself.) [Honda LaneWatch](https: i.ytimg.com vi LBsuaIwgADs maxresdefault.jpg) Seems like the Model 3 has more than enough cameras to implement something like this. Lots of people are complaining about how the car does very little to tell you what is in the blindspot or to alert you if you are about to hit something even though it has more than enough hardware to do so. This is especially concerning because the side view mirrors seem slightly smaller than most cars. There are a lot of solutions to this problem all of which can be implemented with software. It s a great advantage of integrating all the car s hardware into a single update-able system: 1) Audible and visual alert when a turn signal is activated towards a side with an obstructed blindspot. 2) Camera feed with turn signal at the blindspot. Not sure exactly where the B-pillar camera is pointed but I m guessing it does have a view of the blindspot. 3) Have the car try and fight you if you try and turn into something. Not sure if Autopilot s safety features already do this or not. I m sure there are lots more that I m not even thinking of... | tp1996 | 2018-08-08 21:18:09 | 15 | e3ulfx4 | Blind spot monitoring comes up on this sub at least once a day.

91v6zm | Blink s prices need to be brought down a notch or five. | I think we need to seriously discourage Blink s strategy of monopolizing convenient charging locations and gauging people on prices. For example look at Portland on plugshare.com I just see a sea of Blink chargers that all charge over 6 times the market rate for electricity. :( That would be a ridiculous premium even for supercharging let alone these level 2 daily-use chargers. If we keep using them they ll keep doing it. I plan to avoid Blink at all costs. | ironclownfish | 2018-07-25 19:51:48 | 67 | e30zz1s | They re $.45 kwh where I live which is absurd.

That s incredible. | Raviioliii | 2018-04-15 07:38:41 | 23 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
8cdj2p | Bloomberg tracker now at 3070 per week | Looks like 5k is going to happen sooner. Musk must be still sleeping at Fremont. | dark_mark_larks | 2018-04-15 06:37:39 | 156 | dxe3uyi | It s wrong though. In Elon s interview this week they were at 2 071. That s a more reliable figure. edit: I can t believe how many people downvoted this comment. Pure fingers in ears kind of behavior. Unless you think production magically went up from 2 000 to 3 000 in 5 days or that somehow a vaguely sampled and questionably constructed Bloomberg model is more significantly predictive than the literal production number given by Elon. | ElonsMonkey | 2018-04-15 06:42:56 | 122 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
b7uq25 | Bloomberg tracker on Model 3 production: Q1 2019 | Bloomberg tracker on Model 3 production: Our best estimate is that Tesla has manufactured 235 713 Model 3s so far—or 80 050 in the current quarter—and is now building approximately 6 173 a week.

b5qyjl | Bloomberg tracker: Our best estimate is that Tesla has manufactured 231 180 Model 3s so far—or 75 517 in the current quarter—and is now building approximately 6 049 a week. | Bloomberg tracker is very optimistic about Tesla model 3 production figures. Its estimate for the current quarter (Q1 2019) is :79 785*. (* Bloomberg Q1 estimate uses their model s latest data and will continue to update until Tesla reports its totals in the first week of April). If Bloomberg tracker is correct all these Wall Street analysts are in for a surprise just like in Q3 2018. | vinodjetley | 2019-03-26 15:18:57 | 92 | ejf8i9z | There s no longer a wait right? | solidnandz | 2019-03-26 15:27:17 | 12 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
bkw0xy | Bloomberg tracker: Tesla has manufactured 248 271 Model 3s so far—or 29 658 in the current quarter—and is now building approximately 5 985 a week | By Tom Randall and Dean Halford Updated at: May 05 2019 Tesla accomplished something no other automaker can claim: It made a relatively affordable electric car the Model 3 that hundreds of thousands of people lined up to buy. The only problem is that Elon Musk and company couldn t produce enough of them. Sluggish output after the Model 3 launched in July 2017 frustrated fans and confounded Wall Street. That s why Bloomberg built its own tool to estimate the number of Model 3s rolling out of the factory in Fremont California. This projection relies on Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) unique strings of digits displayed on every new car sold in the U.S. Our best estimate is that Tesla has manufactured 248 271 Model 3s so far—or 29 658 in the current quarter—and is now building approximately 5 985 a week. Those figures and the charts below represent Bloomberg s latest estimates and will automatically update to reflect changes in the data. The Bloomberg Model 3 tracker has been accurate until the most recent update outperforming the average estimate of Wall Street analysts in four out of five quarters. In the first quarter of 2019 a sharp increase in VINs registered and reported to Bloomberg during Tesla s international expansion caused the model to overestimate production by 20 percent. We ve updated the methodology as Model 3 production has scaled and may continue to do so. | vinodjetley | 2019-05-05 09:50:39 | 137 | emjy780 | Wasn t this tracker too optimistic for Q1? I don t really see how we can still believe it. | ralinx | 2019-05-05 11:28:53 | 22 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
dmz2a1 | Bloomington IL Store & Service Center Grand Opening is Tomorrow October 26 2019 | I pick up my Model 3 tomorrow in Chicago. Perfect timing because the Bloomington location s grand opening is tomorrow at noon! I m probably going to stop there on my back back home to get familiar with the location of it. Super happy that now I m only 40 minutes from a service center instead of 2.5 hours away! I m sure everyone in central Illinois is going to appreciate this. It seems like some people are planning to go up there to see it. Maybe I will see some people there! Edit: someone messaged me and said the service center has been open awhile.

7p8a1j | Bluetooth Key Sensitivity Is Insane | Last night someone in my family was working on something in the garage when they noticed my Model 3 was unlocking and locking over and over again. My bedroom happens to be directly above it but that s still a good amount of distance away from the car. I can only imagine how much that would drain the battery with the car doing that over and over again. It only stopped after I turned the bluetooth on my iPhone off in the settings. I hope this is addressed in an upcoming update. The car should only activate within a very close proximity from my phone or key card. I wonder if this is an issue for people who have to leave their cars outside on the street or who are visiting friends family elsewhere and the car just happens to be randomly unlocking on the street. That s a scary thought. | splitmindeddude | 2018-01-09 16:40:14 | 79 | dsf83ui | Disable walk-up unlock in the car and it ll stop doing that. When you actually want to get in the car the doors will unlock as you use the door handle to open the door. | TheNewJasonBourne | 2018-01-09 16:42:45 | 79 | Tesla phone key functionality |

gxui6d | Bluetooth bug on 2020.16.2.1 | Ever since this update I have had a bizarre bug that makes all audio disappear after a static click. And I mean allll audio. Music turn signals AP dings and the famous UFO back up speaker all turn off for an unspecified amount of time. Sometimes it s a few seconds sometimes it s a few minutes. I have tried disconnecting reconnecting my Bluetooth on my phone but it hasn t helped. I noticed that most times when it happens it s when the phone communicates it s looking for speaker input. Because the phone call interface shows up on the Tesla when it happens. But it happens randomly. When this happens Spotify sometimes will play but no audio will come out. My Spotify and phone both say audio is coming from the car. Anyone else having similar issues? | migmou5 | 2020-06-06 16:53:01 | 54 | ft5bvuo | Yep.

m0q2u6 | Bluetooth device profile support | This is going to be an obscure question directed at a subset of a subset of people but has anyone managed to pair a bluetooth media player or communications device to their car and have the audio come through? Specifically I m trying to get an Icom UT-133A amateur radio device to connect to my Model 3 (which I can do) and play its audio (which I can t seem to). The Icom device says it supports HFP HSP and SPP and from what I can tell the Model 3 should also support at least HFP and HSP. I think my issue is that I can t figure out how to get my car to start asking for audio. Any chance any of you have experienced this and found a solution? | etrmedia | 2021-03-08 21:05:32 | 10 | gq9ftvs | I wonder if it s connecting via Bluetooth but doesn t know what to do because the device isn t reporting that it can handle phone calls. | majesticjg | 2021-03-08 22:09:43 | 5 | Spotify Gapless Playback |

f7mopf | Bluetooth song playback progress bar please! | It drives me nuts not having a media progress bar to locate or change the current position in the duration of the track. I don t know where I am in the song when it s going to end etc. This is such an essential and basic component of any media player it s unreal we don t have it when playing music over phone Bluetooth. Is there a reason for it? edit: didn t even think of how bad audiobooks & podcasts must be there s no way to navigate a track which is a huge issue.

bjy9a3 | Bodywork Take to Tesla or my own bodyshop? | I recently noticed a dent in my right rear quarter-panel. My PPF did its job and the paint looks untouched but there is two horizontal lines and a bit of a crease. To get it repaired should I take my car to Tesla or directly to a bodyshop? My car was delivered with some scratches and Tesla repaired them but it took quite a while (with over a week of it sitting at Tesla waiting for the body shop to pick it up). I know the shop that did the original work as well as another shop that has done work on another car for me in the past. & #x200B I went through my sentry mode footage with no luck figuring out how it happened. It has happened in the last week which includes time at the Tesla service center to fix my usb port. | boowhitie | 2019-05-02 18:20:37 | 10 | emc8fz4 | The primary problem with independent body shops that contract with Tesla is their ability to actually get the dang parts from Tesla in a timely fashion. People tell of being stuck for *months* with their car in the body shop waiting for parts (for major-damage scenarios). I m no expert on body work but I d guess that for a more minor job like yours the total set of parts needed ought to be known in advance (or maybe they wouldn t even need a new part?) so perhaps your shop would be able to pre-order it and you d only give them the car once it arrives and they d be able to proceed at full speed. So probably want to take it to your preferred shop to get that figured out first. | rabbitwonker | 2019-05-02 18:43:05 | 5 | Tesla ownership feedback and issues |
sv6n1p | Bolt to Model 3 - Three Months Later | After swearing up and down that I would never buy a Tesla I did it as a result of a Bolt buyback in November of last year. I still have a second Bolt that we re hanging on to until a recall or swap into a newer Bolt. After a few months just wanted to share my takes even though I know the downvotes are incoming... First of all the likes: * Supercharging - it s just better than EA and most other L3 chargers out there and the speed is significantly faster than the Bolt. * The app - I love being able to control everything from the app. * Summon - I know it s a gimmick but I have assigned parking at work with a vehicle neighbor who never leaves me enough space to get in the car. It s nice to not have to crawl over the front seats anymore. How they haven t hit my car I ll never know but alas... * OTA updates are nice to be able to get new features and changes. * I like the size of the touchscreen and the amount of information available with caveats. * The seats are way way way more comfortable than the Bolt. * My Bolt s trunk always felt bigger on the inside but I feel like it s even moreso with the Tesla plus having the Frunk can be nice. Now the dislikes: * The physical controls of the bolt. I can do everything on the Bolt with muscle memory and on the Tesla it s a bit harder because of the touchscreen. * CarPlay. It s just better. * I like that the Bolt sits higher. * Elon Musk s antics can sometimes be enough to want me to go trade it in for something else immediately. * I m a Chevy guy not a luxury car guy - this is nothing about the car but owning it feels like a flex the I have to justify every time someone comments on it. | edugeek | 2022-02-18 02:36:28 | 135 | hxh04ba | > Elon Musk s antics can sometimes be enough to want me to go trade it in for something else immediately.

5mmonm | Booking a test drive | Hello! So I ve been a lurker for ages but have never actually posted I have a question maybe you guys could help me with when the 3 first started taking orders I put in my preorder then a day or two later I went online and I booked a test drive... Now that was 9 months ago and I have heard nothing I went into my local tesla store to ask and they said I could not re-request one and I would just have to keep waiting without having any idea of the status of where i may be in the queue I m living in Toronto Ontario if it matters. So is there anything I can do? or am I doomed to wait forever for a simple test drive? UPDATE: not sure what happened but 2 days after going in and not having any luck someone from Yorkdale Tesla called me and helped me set up a date and time told them I was a 3 reservation holder and they found a time that works for me under a month from now so not an awful wait! thanks for the help guys!

kl1lcw | Boombox Pedestrian Warning Speaker FAQ | I ve been seeing a lot of the same questions in the holiday update megathread so I thought I d answer a couple. ### Why don t I have Boombox? - If you are not on version 2020.48.26 (aka The Holiday Update ) or later you need to update. - If you have installed 2020.48.26 or later and Boombox was not listed in the release notes you do not have the required pedestrian warning speaker installed on your car. ### How do I know if I have the pedestrian warning speaker without installing the update? - In the US all cars made on or after March 1st 2021 should have them (at least that s what is required by the regulation). - Most* US Model 3s should have received it starting in September 2019. - EU cars may have it installed but not enabled. - Some EU folks in the comments have been mentioning that this is required on new cars in the EU - I m not 100% sure of the cutoff date though. - You can check by placing your car in reverse rolling your windows down and listening for a spaceship noise . You don t need to be moving to hear the noise. If you hear the noise you have the speaker. - You can also look for a speaker grille underneath the front bumper on the passenger side. If you find the speaker grille there but your car does not play sounds you can check to see if the speaker is installed by following along with [this video](https: youtu.be x5FG-RoVrdI?t=16). ### Can I retrofit the pedestrian warning speaker? Edit: [Elon has spoken] (https: twitter.com elonmusk status 1343098161322053632) a retrofit may be possible. ~~Unlikely as there is a new wiring harness required to hook up the speaker. Few cars were shipped with the necessary wiring harness but not the speaker. If you follow along with the video linked above and find that you do have the wiring harness but not the speaker you could theoretically install the speaker from the parts catalog. However you d also need to update the internal configuration of the car to reflect that you have the speaker installed which is not an easy task to do yourself.~~ ### Why don t I have the holiday update yet? - Make sure your car is connected to WiFi - Try switching your software update preference setting from Advanced to Standard or vice versa and then back. - The update has been favoring cars with the pedestrian speaker installed though it has been rolling out to a larger group recently. - If that doesn t work your car has not been selected for the update yet so stay within WiFi range and keep waiting for that notification! ### Why doesn t Boombox show my custom sound clips? Some troubleshooting tips for fixing custom Boombox sound clips: - Make sure you have a folder named Boombox at the top level of your flash drive SSD SD card - Make sure there are no spaces in the file names. - Use MP3 files - Try using a separate storage device from your usual Sentry Mode storage. - Check [this guide](https: teslamotorsclub.com tmc threads v9-how-to-format-usb-into-2-partitions-for-dashcam-and-music-windows.132130 ) for more info on formatting the drive setting up other partitions ### How do I change the volume of the external speaker? - If you increase the volume on the screen (at the bottom right it will say Boombox under the volume icon) while the sound is playing it does increase the speaker volume on the outside of the car. (Thanks u chicagouber!) ### Does driving sound mean it will play all the time no matter what as long as I m driving? Does it affect the reverse-sound? - Yes the driving sound is played on top of the usual pedestrian warning sound while you re driving forward or backwards. ### Does replace horn actually replace the horn? Or does it add the sound in addition to the regular horn? - Replace horn does in fact replace the horn though as soon as you shift out of Park the setting gets automatically unchecked. So custom horn sounds will first play your usual horn honk followed by whatever clip you chose. ### Can I upload a “blank” audio file to remove the pedestrian noise? - Not at this time custom noises are currently played at the same time as the pedestrian warning noises. ### Why doesn t Boombox work on the next drive? - As of right now you have to re-enable the Boombox features you want to use every time you go for a drive. If I missed anything feel free to comment and I ll add it to the post. | darkenedfate92 | 2020-12-27 10:36:22 | 68 | gh6vznu | I remember when all hated the speaker back when it got introduced.

pt2i68 | Boombox | Hey i bough a tesla model 3 a few weeks ago and was wondering if anyone know how i can get boombox or is it not legal in Norway?😅 | noobsismyfood | 2021-09-22 07:39:41 | 22 | hdtw4ak | I don t know about Norway but I read that its not legal to use while driving in Sweden and EU so as an example the feature to replace the horn only works when in park. Personally don t understand the law that forbids it I do understand the reason for not being allowed to change the horn (very good for blind people to know its a car and not just some random music) but having it sound the normal horn and then play some audio should not cause any trouble in that regard. | ErebusDarkness | 2021-09-22 11:00:35 | 13 | Tesla Challenges in Germany |
8t3k5u | Boring Company Chicago tunnel napkin math | I just posted something similar in the boring company subreddit but figured since Tesla will play such a big role in this the discussion is relevant here as well. Some quick back of the napkin math has me wondering about long term break even points for boring company tunnels based on the numbers we ve been given for the Chicago tunnel. Total cost 1B. Max of 2000 passengers per hour in each direction (There s some confusion over whether this number is total or in each direction but going with best case for now). Running a total of 20 hours per day. This puts us as at a max of 80 000 passengers a day. The project proposal (link below) estimates an average of about 15k total riders a day assuming 40 percent ridership between now and 2045. Price is quoted as less than half the uber taxi cost So lets say $20 a ride. This brings us to gross revenue of 300k a day. Using 365 days a year brings it to ~ 110 million gross revenue a year. I think we re looking at anywhere from 20-40 million a year for operating costs and interest payments. Which puts the breakeven at 11-14 years. What do you guys think? Do my numbers make sense? Thanks! EDIT: Just looked up the MTA (Los Angeles metro) budget for this year and it included 23.6 million in ad revenue less than I thought actually. So we could probably assume a third of this for the boring tunnel as its just one tunnel not a huge contribution but helpful. EDIT 2: Some great additional info and analysis from the comments. I ve also done a bit more searching on my own and have updated the numbers above to reflect this. Thanks to u rory096 for the RFQ link: http: chicagoinfrastructure.org wp-content uploads 2017 11 OES-RFQ-Complete-ADD2-Clean-20180119-2.pdf | nickt784 | 2018-06-22 18:19:19 | 24 | e14gi2e | I think they are probably looking at a 7 year ROI for the project when you include in other sources of revenue like advertising and concessions or upgraded services like curb side check in or who knows maybe Tesla Network pick up and drop off. There shouldn t be any down days that s what the 4 hours of downtime is for each day it s not like the New York subway shuts down every third Sunday of the month for maintenance. A 7 year ROI return on investment for a project like this isn t that bad it would probably see investors throwing money at it to get in on the ground level because this could grow into something huge. For Elon this is all about proof of concept more than making money the money will come with time. After this is built then every other city can look at it and see the benefits of a project like this in their area. Even though Chicago isn t technically putting money into the project they did build the downtown station that it s main hub will operate out of and I could see other cities making similar proposals. In the future every big city may have a network of Boring tunnels that then link to hyper loops to connect cities which then go several miles offshore to a BFR pad for inter international travel. So pull up a Tesla app hail an autonomous car to pick you up at your house in DC and drop you at the closest Boring station that takes you to the cross country hyperloop hub that runs you out to a BFR to Tokyo where you take another hyperloop to a waiting Tesla Network car that drops you off at your hotel entire trip start to finish 2 1 2 hours. Will it all happen like this who knows kinda insane to have all the pieces fall into place to make it work but this is what s in Elon s head and it s what he s trying to make a reality we re at step one though. | ICBMFixer | 2018-06-22 18:43:15 | 21 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
6asqg3 | Boring tunnels are going to be Tesla only. At least in the beginning. | Hear me out. There s a lot of concern with people being able to get on the skis on the street and not hit anything and being fast like a toll booth. Solution: autopilot. when you entering a street with the elevator stations your Tesla asks id you want to line up or you re just going through. if you say line up your Tesla will automatically find the fastest available one and will line up for the ski to come up once it does auto-pilot will move your over the ski and down you go. another concern is with things falling off the car in the tunnels. solution: again teslas can be controlled fully. when a car goes into boring mode the windows can t opened doors will stay locked high beam will be disabled and the only things you can control is pretty much the entertainment and the A C. plus you get a live view of where you are in your route and how fast you are going because it s going to be super cool! and when you get to your destination auto-pilot will bring you off the ski ramps and beep to alert you to start driving. (you may have been napping during the boring ride.) | alborz27 | 2017-05-12 17:31:12 | 10 | dhh3zob | It s up to the cities they decide what gets built for what purpose. I doubt any city would approve that. Not all Tesla s have autopilot either a real kick in the balls for their early adopters. | TheReal-JoJo103 | 2017-05-12 17:48:00 | 10 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

Create a tesla account and you can try to add the VIN. If u get an error means the VIN is assigned to a tesla account already Just contact Tesla Support and they can transfer ownership to your account. Your alternative is going online to the Tesla Store and buying a new keycard which you can then go into the cars settings and program a new keycard or fob.

illspd | Bought a used Model S from Carvana previous owner info still there. | Hello all As the title states I just bought a Tesla from Carvana. From my understanding I can only get iOS app access once I have the registration to show proof that I own it. It s a grey 85 AP rear-facing seats and was named Magnus. Or Magnum I can t remember! I d love to do a factory reset on the computer but it looks like it is still tied to the previous owner and has there home info preferences etc. Would Tesla accept my temporary registration as proof of ownership? Could I somehow find the previous owner to transfer the account to me? Any guidance would be appreciated! EDIT: I just now noticed that when trying to do a transfer request under “Approved Documents” temporary registration is an accepted document. 🤦🏻♂️ I could ve answered my own question. Thank you all for being so helpful and kind anyway. Much appreciated! EDIT 2: I went ahead and put in a request for transfer and they did it same day which is pretty cool! After reading through on forums and on here I was expecting to wait a week! | bjornbeau | 2020-09-03 03:21:47 | 56 | g3t0wxy | If the previous owner s info is in there you can contact them to transfer ownership. This is the quickest way because they just log into their Tesla account and directly transfer ownership to you. https: www.tesla.com support account-support#ownership-transfers If you can t or don t want to contact them you can have Tesla add it to your Tesla account using this form. Keep in mind you may need to provide proof of registration (temporary registration is worth a try): https: www.tesla.com teslaaccount ownership account add-car In the meantime you can clear the previous owner s info from your car by doing a factory reset. From page 139 of the [Model S Manual](https: www.tesla.com sites default files model_s_owners_manual_north_america_en_us.pdf): > You can erase all personal data (saved addresses music favorites HomeLink programming etc.) and restore all customized settings to their factory defaults. This is useful when transferring ownership of Model S. Touch Controls > Service > FACTORY RESET. Before erasing Model S verifies your credentials by prompting you to enter the user name and password associated with your Tesla Account. edit: I just realized you may need the previous owners info to do a factory reset. So maybe you can t do it until Tesla transfers the car to your account. You can probably just erase change the data yourself. And you might want to turn off mobile data access from the settings menu while you wait for Tesla to transfer the car to your account. Otherwise previous owner will still be able to see & control your car. | invitedguest51 | 2020-09-03 03:35:17 | 61 | Tesla Delivery Woes |
b2lsid | Bought last night got text this morning for delivery tomorrow! | Been waiting since m3 came out last year and finally pulled the trigger last night with prices about to go up. Could not believe I would wake up to a text saying my delivery date is tomorrow!! For reference I m in Denver got Pearl white awd. Now I just gotta quickly figure out financing.... ** Quick Update: Thanks to you wonderful Redditors I checked on the year of the VIN I was matched to. Turns out they tried to stick me with a 2018 that has 284 miles on it. I called my delivery guy and after some back and forth with sales they ended putting me into a 2019 vin with 4 miles and a $600 adjustment (discount). The way this was all explained to me: the vin (2018) I was initially matched to had a $3600 adjustment tied to it. I would have presume-ably seen that price when I went to pick up tomorrow. Apparently the website doesn t show this adjustment. Additionally if you go directly to a store the units they have in their inventory can carry price adjustments in this case as of 14th they have $600 adjustments. I confirmed it was not because it was used or defective. So generally speaking it seems to be a good idea to go to the store to get your car since you could be missing out on deals! I had ordered mine completely online and would never have gotten the $600 adjustment. | rreynier | 2019-03-18 17:53:48 | 102 | eitgyu2 | Yea buddy! You will love it. Good luck w financing.

pjo09q | Bought my first Tesla! Now to figure out home charging.. thoughts on my situation? | I live in an apartment which has charging set up so I m not too worried about that. I do visit my folks about 150 miles away from me for the weekend a few times a month. They don t have any L2 chargers in their garage. They do however have an unused 14-50 charger about 5ft inside of the garage door leading into the house. This is in their mudroom which is set up with a W D hookup. I m considering just using that outlet. But need to figure out how I can run the cable through from the mudroom to the car while maintaining insulation. Best I ve come up with is a dog door for the garage door (interior entrance to then home in the garage). Have you had this issue? Any ideas on how to solution? They re in the Midwest so need to keep insulation in mind. | reddituser223311 | 2021-09-07 14:20:51 | 53 | hby7cai | If you really are visiting for a full weekend you shouldn t have any issues charging over 110 for the duration of your stay. If you re fully charged when you leave then you should be arriving at their place at maybe 20 30% SOC (just guessing your model wasn t mentioned and since you said Midwest factor in the cold-weather losses). You could then plug in to 110 for a decent amount of time and recoup a lot of the losses before you leave at the end of the weekend. | waterskier2007 | 2021-09-07 16:43:37 | 54 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |

prerw0 | Brainstorming ways to install chargers in our condo s shared garage (HOA member) | I m an owner in a condominium and a member of our HOA. We re a smaller building only 18 units. I will be the fourth unit owner in the building with an EV. I will be the one spearheading the EV charger installation project in our shared garage so I want to do right by all the owners! I d like to hear from other condo owners on what they ve seen in their buildings. Scenarios I ve explored: 1. **Each unit pays for their own installation.** They would install a charger running from their meter to their assigned parking spot. Since our homeowners own their parking spot as per the CC& Rs this charger upgrade is unique to the unit and would be included in the unit sale down the line. The problem with this is each installation varies greatly by distance from meter. I had someone come out and the quotes per unit range from 500 dollars to 3500 dollars. We obviously can t penalize homeowners for having a spot that s far away from the meter. 2. **Install 2-3 NEMA outlets in key locations of the garage** and allow owners to run their own extension cord (I am making an assumption that this is even technically possible). Downside is potential for wire damage and fir if they are not placed out of the way of driving vehicles. Not to mention wires lying on the ground is just ugly. We would also need a way to charge owners so the HOA isn t swallowing the cost of power. 3. **Install a NEMA port in a guest spot.** Unfortunately we only have two guest spots and I will assume owners would be upset that their guests can t get a spot when EV owners are charging. And we would still need a way to know who to bill otherwise the HOA is eating the cost. Has anyone seen interesting ways to do this in their condos? Are there ways to fairly log charge cost? Is there a way to just charge it to a debit card? I d love to hear suggestions! EDIT: More info: Garage is only one floor and ground level. All meters are located in the garage. Closest parking space is about 5 feet from the meters furthest parking space is about 200 feet from the meters. | BoosMyller | 2021-09-19 19:34:41 | 32 | hdibl2y | I live in a condo building and 3 of the owners have teslas and owned their spots. Ultimately the best and most fair outcome was that each owner had to pay for manage and maintain their own installation with the approval of the HOA. Some were more costly then others and each needed to get permitting etc as well. The electric is pulled directly from that specific unit and therefore the cost of electricity is billed individually to each unit. It s too much of a challenge for an HOA to take on and be expected to pay for that project or future electricity costs or maintenance especially when certain owners may not care or ever plan to get an electric vehicle. They should not have to share in the cost of those projects. You are not penalizing anyone for being further away or having additional cost it s just unfortunate and something those owners should have considered or researched prior to their purchase of the condo. That s not an HOA responsibility. Those chargers will be owned maintained and sold as part of the unit. This also creates a path for future owners if when they want an EV. Sharing chargers is also not ideal as their will ultimately be challenges… | WallStCRE | 2021-09-19 20:39:10 | 37 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
kb5sfr | Brake Squeal | Hi there So I did some googling and found numerous threads on this but all say it s usually due to moisture so I m asking here. Car is squealing at low speed while backing up and sometimes while driving forward direction (low speed). I live in SoCal which has no rain or moisture. In addition brakes (not regen) are used daily due to a particular ramp where everyone brakes hard. I m wondering if this is normal and can be ignored or should be looked at. Would welcome any advice.

gzqej9 | Brake fluid reservior cap missing for early Model 3 | Technician who came over to replace my 12V battery noticed the cap is missing. I will need to go to the service center to do a brake fluid system flush to ensure everything is OK. Took delivery in July 2018 never opened that cover so the cap might be missing from day one.

Yes get your brake fluid flushed. The fluid will pick up moisture from the air and the boiling point will go way down. If fluid boils it becomes gas which is compressible and gives a soft pedal. | olddoc1 | 2020-06-09 16:27:01 | 8 | Tire and Wheel Maintenance |
a5zg1x | Brakes - Model 3 vs Model S | Ever since we ve had our Model 3 the brakes have always felt weird to me. It s my wife s car so I don t drive it that often. But when I do it feels like I need to apply a lot of pressure to slow down. And I always brake earlier to give the car enough time to come to a stop because it takes longer to stop. We got a Model S loaner and the brakes feel completely different than the 3. It actually feels like what I d expect. Not sure if any of this makes sense. Has anyone driven both and noticed a difference with the brakes? | vj1096 | 2018-12-14 00:18:26 | 25 | ebqgvtx | This is something I ve noticed with my 3 as well.

5mhlof | Brand New X Squealing Brakes for 3 000 miles. This normal? | So I ve had my model x back to the SC three times now (for other things) but each time I tell them to check the brakes. the first time they say it s normal for the first 50 miles. The second time they say that s normal for the first 2 000 miles. This last time they said it s normal for 5 000 miles but did a brake burn in anyhow and it still squeals non stop like a $500 jalopy. Is this just my special snowflake X or do others have this long brake break- in period? (Edit Sorry mods I d love to flair but don t have that option on bacon reader from my cell phone. Any help appreciated. I ll flair it when i get to my home computer. ) | bward76 | 2017-01-07 01:18:02 | 12 | dc3ppzo | Odds are that your Regen isn t working in the cold and the car is forced to use mechanical brakes which have a slight buildup up oxidation or corrosion. The squeak may be the rubbing off of this buildup. don t own a Tesla so don t take my word. I m hopeful that a more knowledgeable person can refute or build on my theory. edit... misread your issue... thought they just began squeaking. upon reread I see they ve been squeaking the whole 3 000 miles. | moneyfink | 2017-01-07 02:07:19 | 7 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

I can t seem to angle the mirror to look up to the correct position. It s positioned down so I can t see cars on my side. I brought it up to my Tesla rep at delivery and she assured me that there was nothing wrong with it and it had something to do with the brand new auto dimming feature and it would adjust itself when it s not so bright (or something along those lines). I tried adjusting it while I was driving and again when I got home and it won t go up any higher. The passenger side will adjust to the perfect spot for me.

gxqiac | Brand new Raven Model X Long range vs P90D 2017 Model X | Hi all I m in a bit of a dilemma here. I ve been looking to upgrade from my Model S 75D to Model X. I wanted atleast 200 miles of range for my use so I started looking at used Model Xs. I found 2 really good options : 2017 Model X 90D 7seater with white interior for £53k 60000 miles odo 2017 Model X P90D 6 seater with white interior for £60k 50000 miles odo. I would ideally end up upgrading the MCU when the option is available if I end up getting either of the above. Now a new Model X Raven Long range 7 seater with white interior costs £87k in your opinion should I go for the new MX over the old one ? Is it worth the additional money? | vitapiracycom | 2020-06-06 12:57:26 | 15 | ft46vs6 | Personally I d get the Raven.

I think its an option in the model S for $1500. Auto dimming power folding heated side mirrors - checked audi. doesn t look like the A4 has these available. lets say $500. Center console with covered storage and docking for two smartphones - honestly this is likely only a $25 dollar upgrade. On the audi A4 there is an option to upgrade to black cloth headliner. for $500.. So these upgrades taken piece by piece would likely cost closer to 6k That doesn t include this alcantara gate. I am just taking the Audi lexus and BMW most closely associated with the model 3. IMO even without the Alcantara headliner i think the PUP is very worth it and a good deal. But that is just my opinion. | Dswan3199 | 2018-01-12 16:47:05 | 37 | dsku353 | A) some people got more for the same money. B) it s the how it happened as much as anything. No announcement no heads-up to the people taking delivery no anything. They just hoped people wouldn t notice or care. They didn t even bother to match parts on some cars. Then they post a tone deaf response that basically blames us for thinking that 2075748 pictures of alcantara interiors 4763 reviews that mention it and 2000 cars on the road with it don t in any way what so ever imply car 2001 would have it when that person showed up to take it home. Basically We never used the *word* alcantara anywhere so fuck off . The gist of the post is fine. I d like to pick and choose probably but as a whole package it is indeed probably cheaper than a la carte. However I think this issue has to do more with this the we have the right to replace anything we didn t explicitly specify the material of with used wrapping paper if we want to and you ll thank us for the honor when you show up to collect what you ve already paid for attitude from Tesla has taken the shine off the apple for some people and been the final straw for others and I don t think they re acting unreasonably. We could use a little realism around here. Tesla is a billion dollar company with an eye on the bottom line and there s nothing wrong with that but maybe we can stop the sainthood process now. | vita10gy | 2018-01-12 17:08:45 | 64 | Tesla Model 3 Review |

bmydvk | Bridges and Phantom Breaking | With each update I keep thinking this will improve but for the last several updates (5 or so?) it seems like it s getting incrementally worse. So much so that I m starting to train myself to pop out of autopilot when I see a bridge coming. Anyone else have a similar experience? (Added: my version is 12.1.1) | episodefive | 2019-05-10 13:36:30 | 26 | en0zzvn | Just apply slight throttle if you see a bridge coming no need to disengage AP completely. | Dr_Pippin | 2019-05-10 15:39:23 | 8 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
ltdicm | Brief thoughts on Edmunds test of EV range and personal data based on first month of Model Y SR | Brief thought: You will never find the same range on two EVs even they are the same model. There are just too many factors in the equation. Personal data: Took the car (SR Model Y) on 01 24 21 and it s about a month now. Pretty much I drive it everyday to work from M to F and some short trips around the town during weekend. A few things to consider if you want to compare: 1. Climate and road condition is based in Houston TX. I think in the past month it s about 50-70 degree while I was driving. 2. Overall the traffice is light due to pandemic. 3. Normal use on climate. I use heated steering wheel and heated seat when it s around 50 degree mainly when it s around 50 to 55. Between 60 to 70 I use AC to blow some air inside the car but not really need it. 4. 19 inch wheel with original all season tire. PSI was a bit high in the first week but later down to 43-44. 5. I didn t drive on from Feb 16th to 17th due to the winter storm. Btw it helped during that time when there was no power. Glad to have this car in my garage. Stayed a couple of hours in the car to stay warm and watching netflix. It s about 1% battery per hour with A C and screen on. Simply put the car is very efficient in my opinion. I got free electricty at night from 8pm to 6am. I switched to the current electricity plan on 01 20 21. First month bill is about $0.06 per kw. Pics below are taken from tonight right before the post. Tonigh s trip I got home is the best effciency I have ever seen yet on this car. Temp is 73 degree. I am excited to see what the effciency is gonna be when it s getting warmer and hot. Feel free to ask me any questions about the car. Have a great weekend y all! Cheers. https: preview.redd.it n5jtvux9fxj61.jpg?width=3024& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=3c5dde916dfcbf985a66ea542cbe6f9c06389c7e https: preview.redd.it qd6llux9fxj61.jpg?width=3024& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=65e182cb2ec39bc330d857616a90cbbdb992b052 https: preview.redd.it xokrtqx9fxj61.jpg?width=4032& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=8c86a8a2041ebff7112357016e010ac849e9a42e | yurix007 | 2021-02-27 01:56:13 | 57 | goybmgx | People don t give the SR SR+ enough credit lots of LR Performance high-rollers in here 😅 In all seriousness the SR+ was such great value and still more than ample for a cross-country road trip (see my post [here](https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments icormi just_finished_a_2206_mile_trip_from_la_to_chicago )).

5oifn5 | Briefly Idle Tesla | I live in the great midwest it s chilly. Anyone know how to idle the car when I quickly go into a convenience store or run a brief errand? I tried leaving my keys in the car pressing down on the brake and going in but the car still turned off. EDIT : is there an easier way? kinda bought the car so I would have to do less... I don t want to go into a convenience store to pick up hot chocolate and mess with my phone. Plus I like to take care of multiple 5 minute errands in succession. I know it sounds petty but it gets F n cold up here. I just want the HVAC on... Also hate turning on the heated steering wheel every time I get in the car. Just remember the preferences... | scalarJoin | 2017-01-17 14:47:56 | 20 | dcjhuua | Pull out the cellphone while walking away from the car. Launch the Tesla app and turn on the Climate control. That s what I do when I go some quick food shopping. | chuenwe | 2017-01-17 14:51:48 | 27 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
by5u7r | Bring back the “Performance” Easter egg for the Model 3 | I ve been wondering if this would ever be a thing on the Model 3 - something to emulate the acceleration of the AWD and RWD (which have slower 0-60s than the P3 of course). Turns out that u Packerfan735 is someone who has [allegedly](https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments bvw923 feature_request_let_us_set_the_power_of_the_car epu847g ) experienced just that - via a very particular and elusive Easter egg. Unfortunately the feature was short-lived and has apparently since been disabled in further updates. A quote from Packerfan735: > I d love to have some confirmation that it does or has existed. It s driving me insane that I ve seen it with my own eyes but no one can back me up on that. My reason for posting is two-fold: 1: Can anyone else recall this particular Easter egg? 2: Can we bring it back!! For giggles I d love to see how other Model 3s perform or to ***temporarily*** have a semi-chilled less twitchy mode and then go back to the awesome acceleration of the standard Performance mode. | twinbee | 2019-06-08 08:23:45 | 11 | eqd85l1 | So I have some information on this not sure how accurate it is though: When I was test driving the Model X my sales advisor put me in a P100DL and was able switch between all variants of the car (75 100 P100 P100L) through some secret menu. After I got my car tried doing that myself but couldn t find the menu. He told me that option was a “test car bypass” that doesn t exist on customer vehicles. Basically this “Easter egg” is for sales to demo the different variants of the vehicle without having to take you on multiple test drives. Unfortunately it s not something Tesla makes available to us though :( | NlNJANEER | 2019-06-08 09:13:34 | 8 | Electric Performance Car Comparison |
fmji9e | Brooklyn William Vale charger closed cause of Covid. | Just a heads up they are closing the William Vale Garage where the Superchargers are located in Williamsburg Brooklyn. Probably going to be an issue for many urban chargers in valet parking garages. | mrdudeomondo | 2020-03-21 18:23:48 | 21 | fl4mkcj | Charging infrastructure already sucks here especially on the lower half of Brooklyn. A lot of the chargers are locked behind paid parking or valet so I feel for people that depend on them. Also kinda question who puts themselves through the struggle of public charging here. When I was in an apt owning a Tesla wasn t even on the table since it s so bad. | CultofCedar | 2020-03-21 18:52:56 | 13 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
ceulhq | Brought in my 13 S to a Service Center to have A C fixed Tesla calls me 5 days later... | I bought a 2013 Model S out of warranty admittedly risky but clean title and everything working well from a dealer in California. Outstanding car best I ve ever had absolutely thrilled with the purchase. Well after a few weeks the Phoenix heat apparently got the best of the A C. (That or it seems like it could have been [a software update?](https: teslamotorsclub.com tmc threads air-conditioning-stopped-working.157831 )) Anyway I immediately brought it to a service center since I realized the A C regulates the battery temperature and provides ‘Cabin Overheat Protection and I didn t want to damage the awesome new car. I dropped it off with Tesla and we left it in the garage where the MCU read 80 degrees. I checked in with them two days later and they hadn t looked at it yet but would soon. They call me three days after that and they tell me that they can t fix the A C until they replace the MCU and quote me $2 800 for a new MCU. Stunned I asked how the MCU could have stopped working since I dropped it off? They said they hadn t looked at it since I dropped it off. I asked if it had been in the garage this whole time since I dropped it off (already knowing the answer). No they have had it parked outside. For context I live in Phoenix where interior car temperatures in July August can reach 160+ F. I bring this up to them and suggest that the MCU could have been damaged by the extended excessive heat exposure and lack of cooling. They deny that this is possible and are frankly being a bit rude about the suggestion. Anyway I love the car but I guess I m not sure what to think here. Does anyone have any experience with something like this? | ubercar | 2019-07-18 16:19:14 | 116 | eu5051z | Cabin overheat protection is a relatively new feature. Also not everyone uses it. To suggest that leaving the car outside in the sun would kill the MCU is crazy talk especially if you know typical temperatures CPUs are exposed to. 160 F is nothing. Ask what about the MCU is not working and if it s not working at all how that could have happened under their care. | croninsiglos | 2019-07-18 16:24:03 | 85 | Tesla ownership feedback and issues |
51yxr6 | Brought my Tesla in to fix my window regulator... | they called me at home and said all 4 tires are in need of replacement and 2 wheels need replacement... set of 4 Michelin Primacy MXM4 is $1331 and 2 wheels for 300 each total 1931 before tax... i remember reading that tesla service does not seek to make a profit so i m inclined to tell them to go ahead... but when i googled michelin primacy i am not seeing those prices... thoughts? | dukeblanc | 2016-09-09 18:36:43 | 14 | d7fzi6m | You can have tires replaced anywhere. Tesla does not particularly have good pricing.. it costs them a lot to provide service. The one issue is that Tesla doesn t like to touch non-OEM tires and wheels. If you get the same tires they won t know the difference. I went with Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 s when I replaced my MXM4 s. With a P85 I wanted better dry and wet traction in an all season without giving up too much other attributes. It does seem slightly less efficient maybe slightly louder but definitely better traction. I also paid less than $1 000 including road hazard warranty for a set of 4. Why do the wheels need to be replaced? If they are out of round there are non-Tesla places that can fix that. Tesla won t condone that kind of repair but I didn t have a problem going elsewhere to get it. One of my wheels was a bit bent up so I had it fixed for under $100 locally. | tech01x | 2016-09-09 18:42:33 | 14 | Tire and Wheel Maintenance |

b8yfy0 | Brutal realization with ICE cars last night... | So I like BMW s a lot! Generally a nice used BMW is my preferred transportation method but I splurged and got an AWD3 last week. I took my favorite 330i 6spd manual out last night to rekindle the fire and it was really a sad experience. The 330i is light small nimble and used to feel really quick. It has a 3.0L engine with a bunch of power for its size. I loved rowing gears myself but the lack of torque was profoundly disappointing. It was shocking how much my perspective has changed in a week. Now I m not sure what to do. I ve been ruined and I did it to myself :( love the model 3. | clutchied | 2019-04-03 14:10:31 | 293 | ek0vnzz | It s funny I have only owned manuals and I always said I d only ever buy them. When my wife got the 3 I realized that it s not that I liked shifting myself it s just that I really didn t like the car shifting. I was worried about missing that with the 3 but since no one is shifting there s no problem! I like manuals because I can plan ahead and the car is always on the right gear. The 3 is also always in the right gear! Three months after taking delivery of the 3 I sold my old 5 cyl turbo Audi. | toddlikesbikes | 2019-04-03 14:19:49 | 170 | Tesla Model 3 Review |

87fnpt | Bug fix: auto wipers no longer wipe with the driver s door open | That old bug is now gone. I m not certain when it went away but I noticed today that the moment I opened the driver s door the wipers went from ready to wipe to parked. As soon as I closed the door the auto wipers started working again. Does anyone know if this happened in a recent version or did it come with 2018.10.4? My last version was 2018.6.1 and I did not notice if it was fixed there and before that I had 2017.50.3 which absolutely still had the bug.

j142br | Bug in 2020.36.12 with visualization? | Hello all. My Model Y updated last week to the latest release. Took a road trip this past weekend. Twice during this road trip the visualizations disabled with a message stating they would potentially reenable next trip. The first time I tried a few things including rebooting the display and eventually powering the car off. That didn t seem to work but then I redid the calibration and that did work. The second time I was in no position to power off the car. A reboot of the screen and attempt at recalibration had no affect so I had to do the last hundred miles or so without autopilot or even cruise control. After looking around online it seems like a regression of an old bug with the visualizations. I made a pit stop and the car went to sleep. Upon start up I disabled the visualizations and finished my trip. The car recalibrated now and all seems normal without the FSD visualizations. Is any one else experiencing this? On one hand it s amazing the car can drive quite normally losing a key system. On the other hand it appears to have lost significant safety features at the same time! Given the message about functionality returning potentially the next time I drive looks like a software issue with a hardware design that is caching code and flushes on power off. | hotsexyman | 2020-09-28 02:41:28 | 18 | g6x5k4z | My 2019 SR+ with HW3 did this yesterday while driving in the mountains here in Colorado.

dw3vfw | Bug with hold mode on 2019.36.2.1 - car suddenly reversing while in drive on a downhill incline. | My work garage has a downhill incline as you exit towards the road. Today as I was heading home I had to stop at this incline to allow traffic to flow before I could come in myself. I got 36.2.1 two days ago and put it on Hold Mode right away to test out true one pedal driving. As the car was getting to a stop (more precisely as soon as it hit 1mph) it bolted backward at full speed almost hitting a pedestrian. I pressed the brakes right away thinking I might have accidentally switched gears but I doubled checked and I was still on D - and it was now on hold since I had pressed the brakes. Starred at the screen for a few seconds trying to figured it out but couldn t for the life of me. Then traffic opened up. I slightly tapped on the accelerator pedal to move forward it went to 1mph and started moving backwards again despite me taking my foot off the pedal so it could brake itself to a hold. Pressed the brakes one more time. On the last try I pressed the accelerator more firmly and was able to move forward and out of the incline (but I could feel the car fighting me on the very first few mph) and after that it didn t happen again. Has this happened to anyone else? I remember reading about it a few days ago but couldn t find the post and I also remember reading that the .1 update was supposed to have fixed this issue. I did open a bug report hopefully Tesla sees it soon. It was extremely scary as it got me completely off guard at first. I ll be testing it again tomorrow afternoon if there aren t any other cars people around but for the time being I m putting it back on roll mode just for safety. | hrds21198 | 2019-11-14 03:59:17 | 180 | f7ghom2 | Crazy!
