I have exactly the same issue. And my wife is much shorter than me, so I end up getting squished against the steering wheel while the screen loads. Very annoying. Agree that the car should be able to tell which phone is closer, even if they're both within Bluetooth range. Maybe phone's...

My wife has a slightly different but related issue. Her iPhone will continually 'forget' the location setting for the app. It will go from 'always' to 'while using', also resulting in her needing to open the app on her phone in order for the car to unlock. We've tried signing out/in...

I recently noticed a slight vibration on my Model 3 SR+ when driving at highway speeds (70mph+). I took the car to a SC and they suggested balancing the wheels. They found that the right rear was the issue. They tried to balance it but said it required an abnormally large amount of weight (like...

PSA: Delivery centers generally stock accessories, including snow chains, even when they show out of stock online. I picked up the 18” chains last week from the Fremont one.

No change here

Got the update last night (SR+ with FSD). This is my finding this morning (in the driveway): Seems too good to be true (and unfair to premium interior owners), so I don’t expect it to last. But it’s nice for now!

I'm not sure the CIR and CTX are comparable. Spec wise, CIR is more similar to Llumar F1 Pinnacle series which I found was a lot more expensive. I ended up going for CIR, side windows only (50 front, 30 back). As Kevy mentioned, it does have a bluish hue to it (from inside, mostly black from...

The photosync TSER numbers are impressive, but you do pay for it. I ended up going with the Suntek CIR (50% front, 30% rear). Quality install, no issue there, but I was a bit disappointed by the haze when the sun hits it at an angle. Was told this is 'normal' for most ceramic tints, but will...

Thanks for the replies. I'm also looking for the highest TSER number. I've received quotes for a few different materials (see below), and right now Suntek seems the best bang for your buck. Understand the windshield lets a lot of heat in, but I plan to start with only the side windows. If...

I was planning to tint my model 3 using CIR, but I am a bit worried about this comment. How blue does it look? Can you post some photos?

Another update: The service center kept the car for about a week (to also take care of some paint issues). They couldn’t find anything else wrong except that the part the mobile tech replaced wasn’t tightened properly :/ In any case, I’m happy to report the problem hasn’t returned since then...

Actually, I've found the opposite to be true. Since the rest of the mirror dims at night, these kinds of mirrors tend to look brighter at night, which helps.

Has anyone done it? I initially got a loan with Tesla (US-bank) but found a much lower rate soon after, so submitted for them to match it, and they did. They are supposed to be sending me a check (rate match rep said they should have sent it last week). In the mean time, I've found another CU...

Sure, I can understand this is more convenient for Tesla, but try explaining this policy to someone whose brand new 100k Model X rattles. I think the main issue is the way it is communicated (or not communicated) to customers.

I also recently got a bill like this emailed to me just before a service appointment ("General diagnostics: $97.50"), likely a result of remote diagnostics. I called the SC and they said this is just the standard procedure, and if the issue that was diagnosed turns out to be a manufacturer...
