    Model 3 Rearview Mirror distortion

    yes, I have this problem too. Looking straight on through the windscreen has no issues, but if I look even a little sideways, I notice doubles of lights. So I guess I am not really that concerned about the rear view and side view mirrors right now :)

    Of late ( for the past couple of weeks ) I have been seeing this issue as well ( car not responding to presence of phone ) mine is an iphone 6 or older.. But once I wake up my phone, usually it will wake the car up.

    Recent mobile key range poor when walking up to my car

    Same with me. mine is an old iphone, but never had to wait near the door as I am doing now. Something seems to have changed in the recent software updates or something. Sometimes it wakes up fine, other times, I have to go to my bluetooth settings and ask the phone to connect to tesla.. i am...

    Unlocking driver door ONLY not all doors when entering car?

    This is something that I am concerned as well. There is no fast way (like a traditional one button lock ) to lock all the doors as soon as we sit in the car or is there ?

    Why are people waiting at Costco gas stations instead of buying Teslas?

    Here would be my primary concerns : no charger in my apartment complex, no room for 5 people and cargo in $40K range, and dont want to spend 100K for that; no service center within a half hour drive; cant take the hit ditching my 3-6 year old car; winter range; true range and probably more..

    Whole forum site is depressing. If some don't like their Tesla then buy another car

    4 months ago, it never occured to me that there is something called a tesla unless I am reading something about it (because my old x5 had started giving me trouble). I never saw one in my town. now, when i drive to work, atleast 3 days in a week, i am in a caravan of teslas ( 3s, Ss, and Xs )...

    Do Model 3 owners simple not know how to park?

    well, I am one of those guys. never scraped a rim in my 15 years of driving.. or just got lucky because i never had rims that were extending beyond the tires. I used to climb curbs with no damage to my rims. all that ended last week when i scraped my M3 front tire rim.. It was only after...

    Newbie Question: Menu turning blue during autopilot signals what?

    You could also increase or decrease the speed by scrolling the wheel button a notch. I prefer that as I am scared of tugging at the wheel too hard and disengaging autopilot.

    Resting Model 3 Driver on Chicago Highway

    I have had my car for 2 months, but I am still very tensed when its on autopilot. I guess I dont trust it yet. But it is very helpful in say, if I want take my eyes off on an open road, to reach for something or to stare at those beautiful clouds through the roof for a few moments

    Parking for 7 days with sentry mode

    we recently went on vacation. left the car showing enough charge for about 190 miles or so, in a closed garage with no trees overhead. It gets pretty hot in the garage. Came back after 10 days. It had 65 miles worth of charge. I dont have a usb drive inserted, but my sentry mode was on.

    Resale Value of Base Model 3 in 6 years

    To me, I think the battery tech has much more of a play here. To stick with round numbers, - lets say todays M3 at $50K gives 250 miles on an average for a full battery which takes 10 hrs to charge at home - What would you pay today for a M3 which will give 500 miles ( so better battery...

    Would you guys like to see Apple buy Telsa?

    And they would push OS updates that make existing models useless to drive and force everybody to purchase the latest model.

    How does test drive work?

    Just a small point - I am more concerned about the day if/when I get into an accident. I had gotten into one with all my previous cars, some at fault, some no fault of mine. Some repairs needed major body work, some I just lived with them. My SC is a half hour away, and so far my wait time for...

    How does test drive work?

    If it were me, I would plan two weekends for this. Call the store to see what they have for demo. Even if they dont have a performance version available, I would still go. They will definitely have a dual motor version. It will definitely give you an idea of what you can expect from the...

    Starting to regret my purchase

    Sorry to hear about your issues. Just bad luck I guess. Hopefully they will replace your vehicle or get you a nice model S loaner while they get your car into top shape.

    Just completed a 2,200 mile Model 3 SR+ road trip

    This (missing superchargers on the in-car navigation) happened to me as well. Our trip was Raleigh <-> Tallahassee. Depending on where you 'navigate to' - it looks like it selects the superchargers to display. You can check by prompting 'superchargers nearby' versus 'navigate to <destination>'...

    Reckless driver, Model 3 prevents accident…

    Similar things happened to me. No good solution to this. And thats why autonomous mode will not work till every car is in that mode I guess. .. what I figured out (or adapted to ) was to not leave a big gap (3+ car distance) in front of me when AP is on. I have noticed that drivers behind me...
