I completed this upgrade (2020.48.35.5.842a95863251) in my model 3 and found a new issue today. I was the first car sitting at a red light in the left turn lane and saw something really weird. Even though both lane lights were red, the large green light blinked off an on while I sat there...

I agree...even though it looks cool. One thing I'd like to see added is a 360 view. I rented a car recently that had the 360 and I loved it, especially when backing up.

One of the issues I have with the new screen layout is the turn signal arrows. My suggestion is to get rid of the background of arrow and just make the arrow bigger to fit the same area.

I watched the Shark Tank episode. The guys had a portable charger that he was trying to sell to service (tow truck) type companies. The are working on a smaller (less expensive) version for car owners. A charge would get you around 60-75 miles. It would be like carrying a couple gallons of...

My wife and I are Disney Vacation Club members and stay on HH at Disney's Hilton Head Resort every other Christmas. This will be our 1st time with "The Bitch" - M3. I had the idea of bringing a long extension cord and the 110 converter but it won't be necessary now. I installed a charger at...

I've had the update for several days now and noticed how it works with my cruise speed. Let's say I'm on a road with a 45 mph speed limit and am currently doing 45. Since I have my settings at 5 mph above speed limit, when I set the cruise, "The Bitch" (my car's name) speeds up to 50. That's...

My midrange M3 started at 264 miles the first few full charges 1 1/2 yrs ago. With around 19,000 miles, I seldom charge above 90% (220 mi) when using my home Tesla charger. I recharge a couple times a week. Very seldom do I use a Supercharger unless I'm traveling outside the range. When I do...

I'd prefer the theme from Star Wars

Batteries like two things. 1. charge me slowly 2. discharge me slowly. With that being said, have you tried using 110 to charge your car at about 3 mph? It's like a trickle charge. I've done it and if it were my choice, I'd never charge that way again. So I have my Tesla charger that adds...

I've used ChargePoint quite a bit since that seems to be what's available on Disney property in Orlando and nearby in and around the west coast of FL. I've also found them at businesses and hotels. We even have a free charger station at a mall in Sarasota. ChargePoint is really easy to use...

I start by turning the EQ in a big "V" and trimming as needed

Nicely done! I'm going to "steal" it for my own use. But here's the thing, I've had my M3 for about 1 1/2 years and in my travels have never come across a 220 except in a campground. With all the non-Tesla charging stations around, I just keep the adapter that came with the car in the trunk...

My thought was to turn it into a charging station where other user could actually pay to hook up. I know ChargePoint offers something like that which would allow any EV driver to connect and "help pay" for the install. Does Tesla have a setup like that? When I added my charging station to my...

I've taken long trips in my M3 and I wouldn't think of using the wife's Accord Hybrid again for anything over a couple hours, even though it gets 45 mpg on trips. My M3 is a midrange (240+ miles) and many times when I stop to charge, it begins at over 500 mph which gives me time to stretch my...

I had my M3 at the service center yesterday to have my FSD 2.5 retrofitted to 3.0. Signs all over the front door say to stay in your car and go to www.... to let them know you've arrived. One sign especially said walk ups not permitted. So good luck with just showing up. My service center is...

FYI: When trouble shooting anything (I was a tech specialist for 30 years), I always start with the easy stuff. So here goes: Since you made sure it's turned on AC then 2 things could be happening to cause the 105 AC protection to shut off. 1st, if the car was parked for more than 12 hrs it...

Ok, my finger crossing worked (um, kind of). Today was the big day. I showed up at 10:30 for my 11 am appointment. Cars were parked all over the place with many of them double parked. But as my day was going, there was an empty spot right at the front door. I don't know why I got out of my...

I don't know how you live in that crazy city...LOL...I can only stand so much of I-4. But being Disney Vacation Club members, we'll be over in a couple weeks when the resorts first open so we can be first in the room since deep cleaning. Just an R&R trip with no parks. You are probably right...

@MrDee I'm crossing my fingers. I opened a service request on the app last night and vented my problem with this exact issue. So far so good. They have not cancelled my appointment yet which is on Jun 26.

I love the FSD! I use it all the time traveling on I-75 and I-4 frequently. But what really pisses me off about Tesla, is that they are replacing the 2.5s in other cars when purchasing the FSD after the sale and say they don't have any 3.0 available to replace mine after I've owned it for 15...

@WattsonXcelr8: I gotta love your Tesla symbol and red paint in the garage

@Urbancowboy: My tint was the darkest permitted by law. I love my all black look...even the tint.

I agree! I use mine as a mirror! LOL

@TX_M3P+ I would ask for the $2k for use at their charging station. I have a midrange 2018 and don't usually spend more than $10 to fill the batteries which gets me up to about 245 or 250 miles (it used to be 260+). If I do my math right, thats 200 charges! Or, work in the deal for one of the...

And the real reason for my comment way back was NOT to create a situation of right vs wrong, who has read the manual or who is smarter than others. I only wanted to point out that they need to smooth out the steering when it's not an emergency turn. (By the way, I have a Masters Degree in...

First off, let me say that I appreciate your helpful comment and explanation because we don't all have the same level of knowledge. I was under the impression that since I PAID for it over a year ago, that it should somewhat work (realizing that it's in beta)...not only on interstates but...

Am I reading attitude into this this reply? So, if I understand Knightshade correctly, you are saying that FSD doesn't stand for FULL? Tell me when and where YOU think it should be used. If it's not a full self driving, then tell me why the HW3 recognizes stop signs and lights? Should it...

I hope Tesla smooths out the steering during FSD. I was riding east on a 2 lane 40 mph country rd at around 45 mph letting the M3 do the driving on a perfectly clear, sunny day. (I'm still at 2.5. I tried 3 times to set an appointment for the 3.0 retrofit. Each time they contacted me back...

On a side note, I live in Florida and last week at just the right time we could see the train of Starlink Satellites in the night sky just after dark. A local station was inundated with calls asking what it was.
