same thing and it only started recently. I'm sensitive to strange new small sounds and this was not there before. I thought it was my new phone mount which is of course in the same upper left dashboard area.

certainly sounds like the car to me. Mine has done this occasionally but almost always ends up being the phone in back pocket or the app got closed or something. I'd classify it as working 99% of the time since late 2020.

Mine was just replaced by the ranger at no charge. They were called out to do the trunk camera wire, I was not aware of the camera fix. He said I’m here to do two things and hooked it up. Works perfectly now.

I think he is self deprecatingly calling himself an idiot and asking to be explained why the other poster thinks he’s an idiot. there are much uglier posts/attitudes to be found In this thread. But maybe I missed something with this poster specifically.

I bought this car because it’s faster than any previous (sports!) cars I’ve owned. The fact it draws little attention doing it is a bonus. very few cars are going to pull away from these things at a light.

This is pointless, because OP is forgetting the first rules of TMC. The car is never wrong, Tesla is never wrong, if you disagree with that, you are wrong. /rant

Sounds like we may need “wash mode” 😏

Did not recall the no/ac option. I leave mine on, thanks for the tip.

The real question, is what this would cost out of warranty.

Standing by for summer sale 👍🏽

It’s the obstacle aware acceleration as noted in this thread. Happened to me once leaving a toll booth with concrete barriers on both sides. I had read the manual and had an idea what it could be. Immediately turned it off and never looked back. I did the driving before these cars and will...

I’ll comment the same thing again. Why do we attack people? He did not ask if you liked it, he asked about install and safety. Clearly looking for an expert not an opinion about the interior design. Guess what, I too like gauges. Guess what else, most of the other electric cars coming out...

Or bump a 1yr + thread that’s answered?

literally has Jack Handy's name on it - definitely funny man. Maybe we are getting old :cool:

ad hominem, you certainly know he meant in making cars. I agree that competition makes us all better. For the record I am no VW fan but they have some experience making cars.

Came here to find discussion of this article. I was happy to see him own it. Unlike many who give everything he does a pass. Self awareness of the need to improve is critical to being a serious player. I would rather people here at TMC admit "hey we are early adopters and no car should...

love you man so don't take this any type of way but who are we to say what is a dealbreaker for him? It is his money and his car. If that makes him not buy - I don't care. I would think no one else would either, unless they have money tied up in Tesla in which case that's no longer an...

Came to say that I drove in snow for the first time yesterday. I was on the freeway and let off the go pedal as a made a move and felt the car move in a way I did not expect, beginning to slide just a little at the rear. It did it again and I remembered regen, had my daughter pull up that...

I would not.

@SK360 If we were not in the COVID era, I would drive up to Pittsburgh and take you to dinner for helping me put these in at your garage!

You purchased a car with one computer, at the end of this you will have one computer. Done. They don’t owe you another. they are upgrading you for free, it’s a gift, take it.

Agree it is the weight in this car. As also mentioned if it did much spinning of the tires this would be worse. My last car had wider tires in a staggered set up (no rotation) and was RWD with near 500hp. Tires, ha. Also if you have the pilot 4s, then 20k is just what you are looking at...

agreed runflats are heading the wrong direction for ride and handling. The serious BMW guys drop those first chance.

@boiler81 good point about the profit center. It definitely affects the quality and presentation of the people you get. Some places will be great because they are just good employees. Others won't care because they don't get a bonus for driving business/profit. Also agree completely that...

I've been lucky so far (and to be fair am at low miles) so not more than a test drive, delivery, and post delivery 1 financial issue to have to deal with the Devon Service/Sales center. However, it was not really what I have come to expect from other car brands, even less expensive cars...

Definitely like any other car lubricate squeaky car door hinge - Google Search

Yes, I evaluate the go and no go on yellow lights. Yes, I rate every car I have owned on its ability to do it. Yes, the Performance model 3 can make it in a reasonable situation that you would have done in a sports car but with 0 lag to do it. It is a yellow light champ. That said -...

A guess: given current and dynamic conditions AP cannot safely take over and guide the car to your destination. This could be in whole or part of the overall system capability as it indicates. It is not saying you were using it, it's saying if you wanted to use it (at this moment) you cannot.

I'm glad it is not included which allows for different price points. I would not have purchased the car at $10k more just to have FSD. I actually LIKE driving. Call me when I can sit in a recliner and watch netflix on my way to work while wading through email. That is the kind of automated...

That explains the feeling I had about the routing. Have used and really trust the google maps routing, especially for traffic. Used it every day for every destination for over 10yrs for that reason. This seemed different and without the multiple routes and some other features. Using Google...

Agree that when the regen is strong it feels like my previous manual cars and I love it. What’s not great is the winter when that regen goes away! Hard to know what to expect when you lift off the go pedal sometimes. I prefer the strong regen feel.

Also say normal unfortunately. The ride is “jiggly”, a word used on the forums that I have to agree with. I find at low speed the car is pretty good, smooth even. The more you push the more it comes apart in the ride handling for me, especially given my expectation of a performance model. I...

I made fun of my bmw friends breaking wheels left and right...l and now here I am tip toeing around road imperfections.

Even if Twok’s concerns are valid about MW, it’s the way the posts come across that does it for me. It seems petty and like there is something personal going on. If you hate them, make a new thread called “MW is a scam”. Talk to mods and get them barred from conversation if they really are...

Against those prior cars, yes I’m sure it’s fine. Against my previous Lexus, Infiniti or even Honda, it’s a fair amount of wind noise. I don’t really notice until the freeway but it’s there.

depends how hard you drive the car. I think there are a decent number of people in these cars that don't come from sport car backgrounds. They have never tried the same curve over and over until it starts to let go - let alone tried that with AS vs Summer tires. Not to mention turn in, grip...

Yes, tunable for height and ride Yes, much better than springs alone because the spring rate and damper rate are tuned to work together None that I can think of since you mentioned cost Yes, you can take a small drop with some coil over makers reporting no need for camber arms.

underrated comment. You don't need that if the cop says "oops that was me, dept help this young person"

If you don’t like politics, no need to inject it back into a conversation where no one was discussing it. I liked their post - shocking I know - people have very different and opposing views. And if we are reporting facts, maybe we should look at all the owners very happy with the performance...

similar experience. This is the first car, with any real power, where I do not notice an acceleration traction loss. No idea if that's because it is pulling a lot of power or doing it so quickly and seamlessly that I don't notice. But no traction issues to speak of.

also disappointed to hear this. I got this car over others since it was AWD and I live in PA. I've driven RWD cars with winter tires here and it can be done, just a little pucker now and then. I thought this would eliminate the specter of getting my silly sports car stuck and calling the...

look at the image of your car on the screen. You can see when the brake lights come on. I thought the same and I see that many times they do come on if there is enough regen force.

I work in marketing and I have only one guess, backed up by having seen a couple of their designs. The name is obviously meant to conjure thoughts of "replica" which of course means copy. So just by hearing the name, potential customers assume that this is the place to go for a copy of a...

Did not know what that sound was officially, thank you for the education.

I think that is needed for low speed traffic jam use? I've not been brave enough (or in any traffic) to try it but that is the main situation I would want the car to drive in and that is the function I would expect to do it. Before one of the recent updates the TACC would accelerate to the...

My only retort to this is that you can usually tell when an ICE car 12v is going out. I've never had one die on me like that because I get multiple hard starts that let me know it is time. I also drove a WRX for many years and it would barely start sometimes. Drive straight to store and have...

It should say Dual Motor on the back underlined in red. The don't actually say "performance" or anything like that. The red brake calipers is a giveaway as well as the wheels which you mentioned not recalling.

Done, thanks. I did not realize that it was housed under "groups". I was scanning for a main forum section.
