    Let's talk Autopilot on HW 2.5 vs HW 3.0

    I personally don't see that happening.

    Let's talk Autopilot on HW 2.5 vs HW 3.0

    I have hw3 and it's providing no additional benefit for the current AP that I can tell, nor did I expect it to. Firmware updates for hw3 cars are currently coming out a bit later too, so there's that :) Down the road I'll get to avoid the the 2.5 for 3.0 swap out, but that's not supposed to be...

    No negative views in Model 3 forum?

    It's called 'raising the bar' and it leads to long term success. History is littered with companies that no longer exist because they rested on their laurels. So no, it's not 'sad', it's 'input' to Tesla's continuous improvement process. If you want Tesla to be around in 5 years you should...

    No negative views in Model 3 forum?

    Often when folks complain about something here, they still love 99% of the car, it's just that 1% they are posting about that drives them nuts and keeps the car from being perfect for them. Something to try to remember when replying.

    Lane departure avoidance issues

    What I find surprising with all these threads regarding ELDA is how many folks take the position that if it doesn't happen to them directly they discount the experience others are describing. This seams a bit shortsighted to me considering how the NN is trained in this system.

    Tesla Software 2019.16.3

    If it does get rectified, it will be in part because of many good folks in this forum who were not too 'weary' and took the time to provide feedback to Tesla.

    It's unlocking, but the frunk lid is basically staying flush with the deck. I have to pry up with fingers. The HD spring is just not strong enough for mine.

    Tesla Software 2019.16.2

    I wonder for how long hw3 will mean the penalty box for getting new versions. Maybe this fall that will start to change.

    Frunk easy close spring mod

    I just changed the spring on my month-old model 3 (with the stock struts.) with the small Everbilt spring mentioned earlier on this thread.

    Did you ever have 7.102 or 7.105? Those were pit stops for hw3 only.

    Firmware 2019.16 features

    Parked at the SC tonight and connected to Tesla Service wifi for a while...no luck. I believe I'm on hw3 so maybe it's not rolling to hw3 yet.

    Recommend electrical for garage to enable ultimate EV flexibility

    My brother is going to get his first EV within the next 12 months. Likely a Tesla (he likes mine) but perhaps he will buy something else. He's looking to wire his garage ahead of time--getting the permitting and electrical work that he has to deal with out of the way now. What electrical...

    Firmware 2019.12.1.2

    Does 'AP Reboot' = 'MCU Reboot', or is that something else?

    Perfect. Just want a bit more software stability for the MCU.

    He might, but he would also say it's more important buy ANY EV than an ICE. Tesla's mission is to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy.

    Firmware 2019.12.1.2

    Been on 2019.12.1.2 (hw3) for 2-3 days. Working well > 200 miles. Overnight Sentry Mode was enabled. Car was not on the charger (>70% charge already). This morning had to two-button reboot the MCU to get it to come up. Not a big deal but I posted it here in case others start to see similar.

    Just picked up new car - couple of issues- Should I return it?

    IMO, this really doesn't fall into the category where they need "make an exception" to get you in. It's a brand new car. It's nice of you to call and ask them first, but I'd be really surprised if they didn't say to come right in at your convenience. I think most new owners would just pick a...

    2019.7.105 (w/hw3?) center display went black while on freeway for my wife an hour ago

    Neptunesfinest, honestly curious, do you believe it should be a requirement for Tesla to mention to new buyers that this may happen, explain that the car is still drivable, and to walk them through the reboot process as part of their delivery?

    2019.7.105 (w/hw3?) center display went black while on freeway for my wife an hour ago

    Happened again for my wife and daughter today. Much less eventful this time. They were in a parking lot at a trailhead for a hike they had returned from. She rebooted. Car came back fine. 2019.12.1.# can't come fast enough though. We should be getting our license plates any day, and as I'm...

    Learning a bit more about Tesla Computers

    As a new owner I was recently nudged by some nice folks here that I could benefit from a better understanding of the computers onboard my Model 3. A couple resources I found most helpful in my learning that I thought I would share in case others other are looking to get up to speed too...

    @Shateam. Now that I understand better from the posts here, it didn't die. That was the wrong word. I didn't know they were separate computers. And my wife is not computer literate and so she surely didn't know. To her, the screen represents the life of the car. It went black so she felt...

    2019.7.105 (w/hw3?) center display went black while on freeway for my wife an hour ago

    She was able to pull over without incident. Called me in a bit of a panic, understandably. I walked her through a two button reboot and everything came back eventually. When she gathered her composure at the side of the freeway I *carefully* reminded to her that the car was still drivable...

    Wife is afraid to use frunk

    When we picked up our LR RWD a few days ago the Tesla delivery specialist made a big deal about closing the frunk lid. It needs to be gently lowered, hands placed just so, here and here, and then just the right force applied to close it fully. He said it's just aluminum and they are seeing a...

    MCU is dead, car is bricked, Tesla is being unforgivably terrible

    Sorry you had this experience. We all want Tesla to excel, and that includes in the area of customer obsession. If this were me, and I was unable to find anyone at Tesla willing to take ownership of this issue and make it right (and it sounds like you have gone to great lengths here already)...
