    Trunk button on touchscreen no longer works after v11 install

    Oooh, I suspect you are correct. I had that setting on!

    Hey, that worked! Thank you, @TSteve!

    Trunk button on touchscreen no longer works after v11 install

    Physical trunk latch still works. Opening the trunk via the phone app still works. Did the two thumb scroll wheel reset twice, once while holding down the brake pedal and once without, no change. Any ideas of what I can try next?

    Anyone install "Trunk Cotton" Looks very nice

    I installed one over the weekend, I wanted a more finished trunk look. I'm not noticing any difference in noise reduction. WRT which vendor to select, I recommend getting one from someone reasonably local. I ordered mine off eBay from a China-based vendor. Unfortunately the shipping box tore...

    California Front License Plate

    I'm using the 'two wing nuts and bolts through the front grill' method (see my profile avatar for what it looks like installed). Haven't had any issues with hitting it on curbs or adverse airflow affects.

    Did Tesla really took a month to register my car?

    You do not have to wait for your real plates to arrive before applying for CA HOV stickers. I applied shortly after taking delivery of my Model 3 using just the VIN; my stickers and metal plates arrived at roughly the same time. I called the DMV office in Sac to make sure this wouldn't cause any...

    Vendor Window protection for your Tesla

    How much is shipping? The workflow of your site requires me to give up all my info (email, address) before I learn the total cost, I'd prefer to know an estimate just by entering my zip code before giving all the rest of my PII.

    Flat Tire Thoughts

    Perhaps it is location dependent but the 2 loaner tires I've borrowed were so heavily scarred with rim rash that there is no way I'd pay new/full retail for them.

    Vendor Group Buy | Suma Mirrors | Up to 30% Off

    That's the 20th order even if we're counting just from TMC, correct? Edited to add: oops, no, it's not.

    Anyone else think the new visualizations are too much?

    I enjoy the visualizations. I don't find them distracting at all but then again I do play a lot of video games so I'm used to filtering and prioritizing visual cues from a screen. My favorite one is when the little stop lights turn from red to green just a fraction of a second after the real...

    Tesla Loaner Tires are AWESOME

    The agreement I signed when RA sent out a loaner was that Tesla would charge me the full price of a new rim and wheel if I didn't return the loaner within 3 days. Which was somewhat alarming because the soonest SC appointment I could get to make the swap was 2 weeks out. It all worked out in the...

    Please remove "Preconditioning battery" message

    It does minimize but if it is sharing space with another alert (such as the one I was getting over the course of two weeks while running with a spare tire), the new alert comes in full width, then the previously minimized alert will swap in at full width as well. The correct behavior should be...

    Please remove "Preconditioning battery" message

    Got it, thanks! I could hear something was going on but didn't know what.

    Please remove "Preconditioning battery" message

    It makes enough (fan?) noise that if you didn't know what was going on, it would be somewhat alarming. Still, it doesn't need a persistent alert. As an aside, today I met a very new Model 3 owner who didn't realize it came with pedestrian noisemakers and was certain there was something wrong...

    The front license plate question.... (poll)

    I'm using the cheapo bolt solution and it's been fine. I do live in a very mild climate so I can't speak to concerns others have had about blocking airflow (I have zero concerns about this). However, I am looking into one of the easy on/off magnet brackets because it would be easier to clean...

    Please remove "Preconditioning battery" message

    Wait until you get that one swapping out intermittently for another alert. Due to a loaner tire. that area on my screen keeps flashing between "Hey, I'm preheating here!" and a low air alert.

    Sweaty back /seat cover recommendation

    This seat cover looks nice as well and would do a better job of ventilation than the seat hoodie I linked before. The seat hoodie is more for absorption than prevention (great for post-workout/post-beach though).

    Sweaty back /seat cover recommendation

    If you're open to a temporary solution, I use a seat hoodie now and then. This* is the one I have, I chose it because I wanted a light colored one that would minimize the risk of dye transfer to my white seats but there's tons of similar options out there. Seat hoodies are nice because they are...

    Is my steering wheel supposed to look like this?

    Mine came with a similar mark, same size and shape but not as noticeable so I didn't bother to follow up with the service center. My suspicion is it is from an adhesive film that protected the chrome Tesla badge during production. FWIW, the mark on mine slowly disappeared over the course of a...

    California DMV - Plates & HOV Stickers

    I received two large and two small purple stickers in August '19, so a total of four stickers. The instructions stated one small one should be applied to the driver side front, the other small one on the passenger side back bumper and the two large ones go behind the rear wheel wells on driver...

    How do I disable the noisemaker in my Tesla Model 3

    TBH, Van Halen and a rolled down window is how I've been alerting parking lot pedestrians to my model 3's otherwise stealthy approach.

    What Kind of Car Did The Model 3 Replace?

    '98 Honda CRV. Still love this Honda, still going strong after 250K miles, still driving it every weekend to run errands and tote gardening stuff that I wouldn't want to put on white seats. My Model 3 is the commute and trips car.

    Is this within spec? Hood emblem off-center

    Oh that's annoying. My car's "Dual Motor" badge is on crooked, so I'll be watching this thread to see how you resolve this.

    Wireless charging + Sentry power issues

    I have a Taptes 2 wireless charger and am using their splitter to hook up an SSD for SentryMode. I haven't experienced the exact issue you are having but when I did have some issues after I first added the Taptes, where the left USB port immediately stopped powering anything (charger, iPhone...

    Best Jack pads ?

    And I'm asking about if anyone had experiences with shop mechanics preferring one size or another. It's fine not to answer if you don't know.

    Best Jack pads ?

    Sure but I suspect Porsche owners are more likely to visit Porsche-specific mechanics overall than I am to visit Tesla-specific mechanics during a tire emergency so I'm not sure that comparison is relevant.

    Best Jack pads ?

    As someone who will never jack up their own Model 3 and wants to get a set of these for in case I encounter an unexpected tire-change situation at an unfamiliar shop, has anyone experienced any issues with the shop mechanics using the smaller diameter jack pads vs the hockey puck sized ones?

    Definitive Answer: Best Baby Wipes for White Seats?

    I'm using Kirkland wipes, Costco's house brand. Every box comes with two 'purse sized' packets, which are just the right size to stash in the center console bin.

    MASTER THREAD: Tesla Insurance Services in California

    Pretty standard: the Tesla service center I used a few weeks ago had an Enterprise Rental desk in the service waiting room where the advisor arranged for a loaner (an S 85D) while my 3 was in the shop getting a new A/C compressor.

    Update available but it doesn't download

    FWIW, my 3's air conditioning issue was due to a bad compressor. Service replaced it and a fan, said they would take care of the update as well. Unfortunately, they forgot to do the update and I didn't notice when I picked up it up (was just happy to finally get my car back after it was at the...

    It connects to my work wifi as well, where it sits for 10 hours/weekday, my coworkers regularly receive updates to their Teslas there. I suspect the problem is not on my end. What I see is a few green pixels to the far left of the loading bar below the Software Update section (as seen in the...

    Update available but it doesn't download

    Yah, rebooted from screen and steering wheel many times. Car has been asleep for as long as 15 hours at a stretch. I'm giving up this week and going back to my 21 year old Honda (which still blows ice cold air).

    Update available but it doesn't download

    Yes, 2.4Ghz. I also have a separate 5Ghz channel which the 3 connects to just fine as well, despite reading that they cannot connect. The urgency is my AC isn't working, it stopped working yesterday after I turned it on from the iOS app while walking toward the car. Roadside Assistance observed...

    Channel changed. Speedtested. Changed channels a few more times, best speedtest result is attached. Forget WiFi network, rejoin. Wash, rinse, repeat, still can't get the update.

    Can't update SW?

    Oh interesting about the download getting hung up. Unfortunately, it appears that I do not have the option to schedule another service to deal with the software download issue w/o first canceling my current appointment for the AC to be looked at next Friday. I don't want to do that because I...

    Can't update SW?

    Hiya all My one-month old Model 3 LR suddenly decided to stop offering up AC on its first roadtrip. This was suboptimal given that it was 105°F out and it was a few hundred miles back to home in what is now a mobile greenhouse. TSLA Roadside assistance had me go through a few reboots...
