    New SR+ Satelitte Maps / Live Traffic disappeared.

    Yes, mine was working last night and not working this morning.

    I need to know about your rattles....

    HA!!! Solved my rattle. This is funny.... It took a passenger out of her seat-belt and listening around the cabin while I was driving to determine from where the rattle was coming. Turns out it was the loose plastic buttons on my chamberlain garage door opener that was attached to the visor. I...

    neat idea for the Tesla app? Widget/shortcut for setting temp and unlock

    That is really an intriguing idea, but I already turn things on inadvertently by just handling the phone, imagine opening the trunk(s) or unlocking the door(s) by accident? Gotta think more on that one.

    Musk Teases Features of Tesla’s Version 10 Software

    I would like location specific auto locking. I want it to auto lock at work, the store, jersey mike's, etc., but not at home. It bugs the crap out of me when I walk to the car to get something out, or put something in, and I have to have my phone on me or get my playboy card out just to open the...

    Sentry mode problem

    Was it there before you received the 28.3 update? I lost both after the 28.3 update and had to reformat and re-partition my 240gb drive into 2 distinct drives, one is "TESLACAM" and the other "MUSIC" (all caps, right or wrong). Now it works perfectly.

    Model 3 Weird Smell

    So which software update fixed the issue? Or has it even been released yet?

    Poor mileage since 24.4 was loaded a week or so ago...

    @AlanSubie4Life: I actually created a spread sheet to record the various measurement points, leave in the AM, arrive at work, lunch if any, leave work, arrive at home, I've runs it this week and see if there will be any change the balance of the week. @KenC: I think it was 167, I'd have to look...

    So dig this..

    Did I miss something in the forum rules that states every post must be Tesla related or the poster is ridiculed? :o

    So dig this..

    Nah, just sitting here behind the PC while the news is on. Next time they fly over I'll see if there are any Tesla's in the area :D

    Poor mileage since 24.4 was loaded a week or so ago...

    So it looks like 28.3.1 was downloaded and gobbled up 2 miles of juice. We'll see what surprises are in store for me tomorrow via this update.

    So dig this..

    A few hours ago in the Palmdale/Lancaster area of SoCal an officer was shot and the suspect is still at large. As the news copter was flying over the area they shot footage of where the cop cars were parked. There had to have been 40 cars (SUV's) parked in a lot, more clustered on surrounding...

    Poor mileage since 24.4 was loaded a week or so ago...

    Arrived home this afternoon and the miles are at 120. AND... a few minutes later a notice arrived that a software update was available. Gee, maybe I'll get my old mileage returned... as for the air pressure, 3 were at 42 (cold), 1 was at 41. Not saying it's not possible, but sure seems difficult...

    What is this little number? [from 2019]

    You're correct. I looked and I had three, two of which were the charge started and charge ended notifications, not sure what the third is, it's always there. But the other two cleared pretty easy. Thanks for everyone's response.
  14. Sky-Pilot

    What is this little number? [from 2019]

    From the get-go there has always been a "1" in the upper right corner of the Tesla app icon, now I have a "3". What does this tell me? I’m not seeing any messages in my in-box, so???

    Poor mileage since 24.4 was loaded a week or so ago...

    So this morning, I leave my place and I'm showing the usual 216 miles of range, drive the freeway, again 70 mph, flat freeway, and 32 miles later I arrive at work and the range is now showing 168 miles. So that 32 mile drive consumed 48 miles worth of juice. I know it's not a 1 for 1 ratio, due...

    It was around 142 to 145 before when I parked in my garage.

    I have one behind the display. It sounds like a couple of coins rattling/vibrating in the metal lid of a mason jar.

    Poor mileage since 24.4 was loaded a week or so ago...

    Each night I top off my tank to 90% and in the AM I disconnect it, hang the cord, and drive to work. I leave for work a little after 5 AM and leave my office in the PM a little after 3, so no real traffic with which to contend and I drive at about 70 mph. Car is showing 216 miles when I leave...

    What to buy? SR? LR AWD? Used ?

    There's one at the Arrowhead Resort and Spa at Lake Arrowhead Village.

    What to buy? SR? LR AWD? Used ?

    They all over the area, even one in Blue Jay. Also, keep in mind that while you're going up 8,000 feet and using power, you're also going to be coming down and gaining some of that lost power. I've made the round trip without plugging in at the destination.

    What to buy? SR? LR AWD? Used ?

    I'll be the odd man out here and maybe I'm just overly frugal, but I chose the SR+ (240). Big Bear is about 100 mile drive for me and I've made the trip several times. If money is no object, then go for the LR AWD W/FSD. You note that your drive is about 120 miles and that you plan to add a 240v...

    What color is your M3?

    Well, as Los Bravos would say, "Black is Black" :)

    What color is your M3?

    You're probably right, but still can't outrun the cops :D

    What color is your M3?

    Living here in SoCal and driving the freeways I see a lot of M3's, I see a lot of Tesla's, period. My M3 is blue, which I don't see many of, so I'm just wondering of those that frequent this site, what color is your M3? If you have more than one, note both colors. Here's a list of color...

    Molded Mud Flaps - Install Question

    I received my ebay brand, look great, hopefully i'll get them on this weekend. @355rockit - Did you stick those HOV's directly on your paint or first on a 3M-type underlayment and then on your paint?

    M3 Auto Insurance - what are you paying?

    Model 3 catches fire after hitting a stopped tow truck in Moscow (video)

    I've got the same question. If there is ANYTHING more distinguishable about the Model 3, it's the nose. Maybe it was the impact, but my front end isn't shaped like this one.

    Tow bar on model 3 performance.

    Just to be clear, when you say Tow Bar, are you referring to a Trailer/Caravan Hitch or a tow bar for towing the M3 behind another vehicle, like a motorhome or truck? In the US, a tow bar is on the front used to pull the vehicle and a trailer hitch is on the rear used for pulling a trailer.
  30. Sky-Pilot

    Why red rear signal lights on US version?

    That's not entirely true. In California you can have a flashing center brake lamp so long as, a) it is not a strobe, and b) that it flashes no more than 4 times in the first 4 seconds. I have a flashing center light on my roadster.

    Test drive: M3 SR+ vs M3 P

    @mcbarnet007 - You'll be very happy with the SR+: Same here. Tried both, selected the SR+. 0-60 at ~5 seconds is really fast enough for any driving situation/condition. Most other cars these days don't get anywhere near 5 seconds. I know the M3P folks will say, "well I can get onto the freeway...

    Wheel Well Soundproofing

    Maybe adding dynamat between the liner and the car.

    Anyone currently considering buying FSD post-delivery (Aug 16 price hike)?

    Wait... how do you figure a $10K savings by it driving you home and to work? Do you pay yourself to drive yourself? And how did you calculate that alleged savings?

    Go Ahead -- Grade my Vanity Plate Idea

    I'm surprised they allowed that, I ordered one with "FYOILCO" and our DMV denied it.
  35. Sky-Pilot

    Anyone have custom TESLA related plates?

    I tried "FYOILCO", but the prude people at DMV rejected it :) Somehow, they thought it was vulgar ;)

    AC odor removal and cleaning

    Cool (no pun intended). You should see the filer in an "X", it behind the frunk liner and seems a foot by three feet. It's house hvac size

    AC odor removal and cleaning

    And next time? They're not going to do it forever. Sounds like Elon needs to come up with a real "fix".

    Quickjack for Model 3 - BL-5000SLX?

    So here's what I do. I have two 1"x10"x10 foot planks cut into 3 pieces and I' drive onto the plank, park, remove the center pieces and slide jack under the sides (where the center pieces were) and raise the car.

    What was your previous version?

    Well, it only took 3 months, but...

    My system was finally updated from 12.1.2 to 24.4 last night. Do updates always take this long? Sheesh!

    Call me "Old School"..... (Poll)

    Wow, I haven't seen a bra in years. I recall back in the mid 70's I got one from Colgan Customs, in fact they used my car to create the template, so mine was actually free. I have to say in the years I owned that car, not once did she suffer from drooping or sagging, um, headlights... ;)

    Design Flaw? White Interior

    So does the wood dash also reflect, just not to the same degree as the white dash (obviously I have the white dash)? Also, does that little white strip pop out to enable it to be covered with something less reflective?
