That is encouraging, but I don't understand how to 'change the music source'. What exactly would I change?

There are some words in the vehicle documentation that says putting a hub in the glove compartment may cause problems with recording camera data. If I have a bluetooth device with songs on it (an old phone with no sim card) connected is there a way to play songs that way? Somehow?. What app...

Media Player mentioned for M3 on tesla.com and rather vaguely on M3 owners manual and introduction. Cannot find it. Other than the USB A in the glove box for tesla to record camera stuff it is not clear of there is another reader port... Is the USB C in the rear console box a reader or just...

Very helpful, thanks to all.

Many electronic things come with a picture or diagram of the controls and words with arrows to the individual controls, words attempting to identify what they do and what actions are useful. All this (or much of it) in one place. Cannot find anything like that in the car, app,or the tesla...

Well, TACC worked well. Thanks for the advice. It was interesting that (in TACC) signaled right, then moved to next lane and the turn signal turned off! That was nice, just what I would want. Puzzling over what 'control max speed' means in reference to that symbol on the right side of the...

Thanks, will try in a few minutes. So what is the symbol like a meter and arrow just left and below the right scroll wheel?

Owned M3 5 days. My attempts to get the TACC to work have failed. The tesla website only describes earlier M3 (with stalks). Nothing I can find in the car data describes all the features of the steering wheel buttons etc (except turn signals and speaker volume). The stuff by right hand hardly...

When anything says it is 'for life' you need to wonder 'whose life it it" ...

In our 2017 that bottom row of icons has a rounded-corner square with a dot in the middle. That turns on rear view (any time you want it).

We were told the fuse has a limited lifetime and the system reports replacement needed when the time runs out. Being physical devices it is unpredictable when it will fail, so the timing mechanism is a bit conservative. Schedule service as soon as convenient.

Wouldn't a tow truck *qualified* to tow a Tesla already know the appropriate procedure?

Our 2017 warranty page (in the app) says Drive Unit Limited Warranty Expires Mar 29, 2025 or unlimited total miles, whichever comes first. Battery Limited Warranty Expires Mar 29, 2025 or unlimited total miles, whichever comes first. Yes we did purchase extended when we bought the car.

Yes, we did. Free.

Our 2017 has the camera update and the updated MCU and I notice no reduction in features. Maybe I'm just clueless. I do all updates provided and we are on 2022.8.10.16
