    USB Drive Placement - Glovebox or Center Console?

    Hey everyone, I have a question regarding the placement of a USB drive in my 2023 Model Y. Currently, I have a Samsung T7 1TB drive connected to the USB port in the glovebox. However, I noticed that the glovebox doesn't have a USB-C port, which surprised me. Occasionally, I receive a message...

    Unfortunate Encounter: License Plate Theft and Car Damage – Seeking Advice and Sentry Mode Mystery

    So question guys. Why didn't the alarm go off when they ripped the plate off. Sure don't know why sentry mode didn't go off. But this is very confusing to me. Almost as much as knowing the whole quarter panel window on my model 3 dosn't set off alarm and people were going around stealing...

    I thought of that but the damage is on the bottom lip not the top like most people who open the trunk by accident and hit something. :)

    Unfortunate Encounter: License Plate Theft and Car Damage – Seeking Advice and Sentry Mode Mystery

    yhea I'm pretty sure the left side could be cleaned up and plate pretty much covers a decent amount. The right side yhea, I will know it's there for the next 5 years and be upset every time I see it . I ordered some touch up paint the hope is once I touch it up it will be less noticeable but...

    Unfortunate Encounter: License Plate Theft and Car Damage – Seeking Advice and Sentry Mode Mystery

    I wasn't in the car, it was parked in my driveway. It's strange that the camera didn't capture what she did since it's located by the license plate. Also, why didn't the alarm go off when she ripped off the license plate with the holder? Fortunately, only the plastic inserts broke and didn't...

    Unfortunate Encounter: License Plate Theft and Car Damage – Seeking Advice and Sentry Mode Mystery

    Hey everyone, I had a rather unfortunate encounter today that I wanted to share with you all. As I was sitting in my car, a homeless woman who seemed to be in a tough spot walked by and unexpectedly ripped off my rear license plate. It was quite a shock, and my father-in-law managed to retrieve...

    Dropped off for Xpel Ceramic coating

    Hey buddy, Sorry, I haven't seen this. Honestly, haven't had a ceramic prior so don't have a whole lot to compare to. First I would say not worth doing the windows it wore off fast like 3-4 months My coating is holding up very well but I've also been babying it a bit no-touch washes...

    Does my Model 3 have 250 mile range?

    I bought mine a year ago it stated 240, I always thought ppl were just rounding up. I can count on 1 hand how many times I've changed to 100% and belive it was 240 those times. Maybe the 5% efficiency/speed boost we got edged that number up.

    Etching on ceramic coating?

    Thanks for all the suggestions It seems when I took the car to the store and went back out to the car I couldn't find it any more so it maybe the sun did do something Up till that point the car was in the garage where I cleaned it. I kinda diidnt want it in the sun till I figured it out ;)

    Etching on ceramic coating?

    Good day guys. So I've had my xpel ceramic coating maybe 6 months now. I was weekly (no touch wash, for the most part, foam and blower) I noticed today there was a small bird dripping on my hood. Possibly their 24hrs I grabbed some waterless Adams wash and cleaned it off, soaking good and...

    What's Your Favorite Ceramic-Infused Spray Sealant?

    Hey, guys I just wanted to re-visit this. I've been using Xpel branded boost getting low so ordered Adams Boost 2. I'll post some pics but it is NOT a rebrand The chemical itself from Xpel is a white color and Adams is like a green/blue color So the obviously added something so it's not...

    Anyone installed an OEM subwoofer into an SR/SR+?

    I've read there are no harnes wires run around to where the sub and amp would be. So it does come down to wiring all the way back. I wish there was a stock install option. I don't want to hack around with an EV car.

    303 Aerospace Protectant:

    MM, I find it goes away a bit but from the right angle you still see it. Or it's peoples buts that are rubbing it away ;) Never had this issue with my last car (Toyata FJ) but it had more of a rubber seat.

    303 Aerospace Protectant:

    I've been using 303 Aerospace Protectant for years with my past cars. I love the stuff But I am noticing with my model 3 seats you really have to rub it off. I am noticing it can leave what looks to be oil stops or streaks. Which can be rubbed/wiped out with some more elbow grease but never...

    Microphone and voice recognition not working after install of 2019.40.50.1

    Same issue, Honestly seeing how this works I'm not too sure if I like it. So the thought is every command we issue goes back to a server to decipher then back to the car to issue the command. Not all that crazy relying on this as we can see now, sever overloads or just bad cellular service...

    Premium Connectivity cost $9.99/month for many Model 3 versions

    Just an update. This morning my M3 suddenly received the satalite and live traffic. This didn't seem to be a software update but more like they throw a switch on their side. I did not sign up for premium just yet but this morning it was there. I've had the previous update with streaming...

    Gap between rubber seal on glass roof

    Humm, let me update that after looking at your pic a little more. Yours seems to be larger on one side mine is pretty much the same going all the way down ie even but it's about the same a bit past the weatherproofing.

    Gap between rubber seal on glass roof

    @biotour My M3 came with a gap about that size, I was debating taking it in at the beginning worried about leaking etc.. But other people said not to worry. It's been past 6months now no issues for me.

    Good day, guys, Out of past experience, how often does Tesla give updates on productions like these? Would you say quarterly we would get some kind of update? Of silence till we near the end?

    What's Your Favorite Ceramic-Infused Spray Sealant?

    Umm.. Think there is confusion because of the naming. Xpel makes its own "Ceramic boost" That is what I have been using. XPEL Ceramic Boost (16 oz) Adams also makes their own "Ceramic boost" https://adamspolishes.com/products/ceramic-boost Unless I missed something it it's just rebranded

    What's Your Favorite Ceramic-Infused Spray Sealant?

    I've been using this for the last few months as well. like every other week. It's the only one I've used before as well so nothing to compare it to. I went with xpel ceramic boost because I have Xpel ceramic applied to the car. Does go on and buff off good I'm not sure if it adds any more...

    Wish it was a foot shorter

    I hear you, However, I don't trust leaving it charging in my driveway. Also not even sure if it would fit, think it may hang into the sidewalk. Have to measure the driveway length. I'm down the block from a school and get a lot of foot traffic at all times of the day. It just sucks that it's...

    Wish it was a foot shorter

    some people wouldn’t agree with me but I could deal with. Foot less in the vault or may be 6 inches from vault and shave off the Frunk or something

    Yes but electric vehicles under stand the need for garages for charging ;)

    Measured my detached garage today and of course, it's 19.1 feet I've read somewhere more garages are 20 feet but it seems I may be a one-off.

    Is the census out for offroad? Will the tri-motor help in any way? or will it strictly be for a faster truck that can pull more?

    Mirrors?

    I noticed there were no mirrors on the doors. Do we know if there will be or will they be using cameras as mirrors or something? Are there any laws in place saying cars need some form of mirrors?
