I could not get my text messages read to me. A re-pair solved the issue. That is for android Samsung S9 Great new features, wonder why they took so long to be added.

Agreed, my brother just had his replaced and I have an appointment on Monday

I live north of Boston on the coast and have had my RWD 3 since March of 2018. No snows and I live on a hill. Yup last winter we did not have much snow so not really a good test. My plan has been to work from home if the weather is bad. If you need to go out get snow tires! AWD is not much help

Swim with it all the time and have had no issues

Anybody have an info on the Peabody MA service center rumor? Sears auto at the North Shore Mall if I remember the rumor correctly.

Planning on stock tires for the winter. I am on the coast north of Boston so there will be 4 -8 days this winter that I should not be on the road and I am not going to be on the road.. Been doing that for a few years now, really good move for my well being. I am more scared of the SUV's...

I agree. Any thoughts on a time frame?

My garage is a under the house and summons stops just when the car starts the incline up. I had to summon it forward to get in as I could not open the door. WOW 1st world problems! Any know of settings that can help get it out of the garage?

I just drove an S loaner for 2 days 80 miles whiles my 3 was in for warranty service. I found I could not see the speedo once I had the steering wheel where I wanted it. The 2 screens were too much, I love the 3 and hardly look at the screen any more. I really like the size of the 3. The S is a...

I drove 235 miles (90%) on the mass pike yesterday and my Wh/mi was 213. Auto pilot was set at 70 mph but there was a lot of stop and go traffic on the pike. That is nice fuel savings! Round numbers - has me at $12 cost of electricity if I was paying National grid. I have solar panels.

For heat go geothermal with solar power for the pumps. Had oil and hated it, could not get a quote for geothermal as I am on a rock and at the time everyone wanted to do geothermal on the cape. I guess drilling in sand is way more profitable...... At least I got a really good deal on gas and our...

Solar is the way to go, but it is not cheap upfront. I needed a new roof, trim some trees and then I put up panels. My payback on the solar is 4.3 years. Numbers worked for me. Also I put LED bulbs in, changed the dryer and cook top to gas. My biggest usage of electricity is AC. If we have a...

I put rain X on the windshield and they are now more aggressive, they come on a little too fast now. With Rain X the droplets are smaller so that must help.

I am at about 110% with my solar panels. Now that I have a 3 I may add some panels, but will wait for a year to see what my actual usage is.

When I would gas up i used to always clean my windshields, so I had to purchase a squeegee for $5! I have a squirt bottle so saved a couple of bucks there. Only real issue is I need a roof rack and other than the suction cup style which I do not want there are no options yet. Phone a s a key is...
