    Got Hit n Run in Parking Lot - TeslaCam caught it!

    I have dealt with Kemper, they are not going to pay a dimished value. I argued for months with them, provided diminished value quotes, reported them to the insurance commissioner, went through the investigations.... You have to sue if you want it

    Got Hit n Run in Parking Lot - TeslaCam caught it!

    Not worth it in california. Insurance is required to waive deductible if driver that hits you is under insured or un-insured. They should still file charges for hit and run, but the leverage doesn't matter

    Got Hit n Run in Parking Lot - TeslaCam caught it!

    You will get your deductible back, california requires your full coverage insurance to waive deductible for non-fault, hit and run, or under insurance drivers. If their insurance is not up to snuff, your insurance will have to waive your deductible. Whether it gets paid by the other insurance or...

    Tesla auto wipers is a real danger

    The only issue I have had with auto wipers is them getting stuck on when I don't clean my car and get smudges over the sensor. If anything, their heir on the side of too fast rather than too slow, which I don't mind. Push the button on the stalk to get a quick wipe until it adjusts if you are...

    Got Hit n Run in Parking Lot - TeslaCam caught it!

    I've worked with Kemper, they are HORRIBLE. They will try to push you around and say stuff like "Our contract states we do not pay for new or OEM parts" Do not let them do this. You signed NO contract with them. Tell them you want OEM parts only and fight them. If you want a diminished value...

    New Subwoofer Control

    I have yet to play with it all that much to see how much a difference it makes, but with the new subwoofer control it looks like you can turn speaker bass down to a normal level and boost only the sub as to keep a cleaner audio from your speakers while also turning up the bass. As someone who...

    Map won't load in app since update

    Do you run any sort of ad blocker? I used adguard system wide adblocking, never had an issue, but it might. Have you tried on wifi and cellular? Do you have any issues with google maps? (should use google maps as a base for loading the map) Try downloading an older version of the app online, see...

    Connection Failed, an unknown error occurred

    Good to know it wasn't just me. I had a tire blow out at 500 miles (500 dollar fix before my first payment, yeesh) and I added that to the ticket. They looked at it and said there are no report of this issue, it's your phone, bye.

    Map won't load in app since update

    How do you know it isn't monitored? While I had a TON of issues with the tesla android app, I didn't have this issue on my note 10+ before I switched to iphone. I just now checked my note 10+ and the map is still loading on it just fine. Being an android user for 10+ years, my first instinct...

    Connection Failed, an unknown error occurred

    I had an issue on my android phone from day 1 where I got there error if my phone was on wifi (any wifi, tried with a lot). Also had this issue not on wifi when I went to pick up my car from dealer. I had to go on the website and change password, then relog in on phone.

    Setting time for precondition schedule glitch?

    I just switched from android (10 year used) to iphone, but on my note 10+ the android app was atrocious. SO many issues. Anything to type I had to do 1 letter, wait a second, then another and so on because if I didn't it would autocorrect the word and then spam it 4 times(pain in the ass when...

    Spotify artist "Stations" not updating songs

    I have had this issue since release, I also have the issue of not seeing my entire playlist like you. I have noticed it is only very long playlists. It seems like the tesla spotify can only support the first "x" amount of songs in the playlist. ( I haven't counted how many)

    Tesla App on wifi???

    Hi All, I have a weird issue with my Tesla app. My app will only connect to my car with wifi turned off on my phone (or not around a wifi I'm connected to). This is on any wifi connection. The second I turn wifi off on my phone, it connects fine. Doesn't matter if the car is on wifi or cellular...

    MP3 broke down on drive home from picking it up

    Nope, new as well. It isn't specific to cars... California requires ALL contracts be reversible for 3 days. You can be charged the price difference for the services already provided though. So if you put 1000 miles on the car, they can charge you for the value difference on the car

    MP3 broke down on drive home from picking it up

    Depends on state for the return window. In California, all contracts have a 3 day "cool off window" where you can get out of it. This gives you a basically 3 day return policy. AFAIK they CAN charge you for the value difference they incur from the additional miles though. I just assume that...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    You still have not got your VIN? Haven't been active here as much because I got busy with my company. There were A LOT of MSM cars at the delivery center when I picked up mine. There was most model 3 MSM LR and Model S PLAIDs there. I'm thinking the MSM is selling well right now but they were...

    Speed traps...

    I know in a lot of US states they get a ticket for anything over the speed limit, but they have higher speed limits than where I live. Here in California, you won't get a ticket for anything less than 5 over the speed limit, and even then, a lot of the time they won't care about 10 over. On the...

    Tesla is an AWFUL software company

    I have mentioned you saying it is "embarrassing" to a few friends that were in my car with me. I pointed out the ever so slight twitching and said that someone said it was embarrassing. This is 6 different people. Some tech savvy, some not. You want to know what the final consensus was for each...

    Tesla releases big, new software update with Disney+, Car Wash Mode, remain connected to wifi, and more - 2021.24.x

    There are a few reasons some are very legitimate some are speculation. Legitimate reason - with the pandemic, there is a major supply chain problem across all markets of things. From computers, to wood, to car parts. Tesla was making up for this using parts from different suppliers. The software...

    2021.11.x Firmware

    I had a ram 2500 laramie that would do the same with auto high beams. My tesla also does with street signs. The only issue I have had with nighttime driving high beams on my Tesla is highway driving I have to get within ~300 feet before they turn off for taillights.

    Discussion: Tesla Vision system for Model 3/Y

    I picked up my car yesterday, assembly date of 9/21 and my Model 3 still has proximity sensors but acts as a vision only car. Separate but similar note, my car has door cubby lighting which I was told was completely removed on newe i didnt see those sensors on the cars near me at all. The...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Still haven't gotten photos but I'm a bit confused about something I noticed on my car. My car was produced 9/21, but my car still has proximity sensors and door stubby ambient lighting. I thought those were both removed. I asked one of the porters at the delivery location and he said randomly...

    Boombox USB

    Hi all, couldn't find my answer searching the web, so I have a simple question on the boombox custom sounds feature. Do I need a USB C flash drive on my 2021 model 3, or can I partition the sentry mode USB in the glovebox to do both sentry and hold boombox sounds?

    I already have. Surprised my girlfriend eith the car and date night so didn't get pics yet to post. Have less than 50 miles but I definitely got into a few street races in Mexico already. Hit up the supercharger for a bit. Man this thing sucks down power when you're doing full acceleration...

    Just picked it up. No issues found. Panel gaps all look good, paint good, interior good. Didn't really get to play too much with it because I had to drive back to work. Going to play with it more after I'm off and give a bit longer of a delivery experience post. I didn't even set up profiles...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I got the text to confirm my delivery for tomorrow at about 11:45, but it said model y not model 3, so I called to make sure they had the right car. The lady verified they just didn't change the wording on the text, then asked if I want my car today. She said they need 2 hours to detail it and I...

    What Do YOU Call the Pedal on the Right?

    I'm sorry... no. That was wrong on so many levels. Gasoline will not run happily in older diesels. Gasoline will autoignite way early in the cycle. Too high of compression. The original diesel engine was made to run mainly on kerosene mixed with oil which is closely related to diesel. Diesels...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    Tesla makes you accept a quote for repair even if it will be a warranty repair. People complain but it is the same as any car dealer, they just hide it. When you sign for a work order, it says you are signing to pay 1 hour of diag if it ends up non-warranty related. For the rear door handles...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I'm on the fence. My girlfriend loves them and wants me to keep them. I'm leaning on replace, my friend is in the middle. Then again my girlfriend is a bit biased because she didn't want me getting the car, let alone mods for it lol

    What Do YOU Call the Pedal on the Right?

    You dont use gas in a diesel. It would be the diesel pedal. Plus some diesels the skinny pedal opens an intake and adds fuel

    MASTER THREAD: Tesla Insurance Services in California

    I also just thought about it... Maybe it is because I have had a motorcycle license for 6 almost 7 years with no accidents? Motorcycles tend to have higher insurance do to higher accident rate. Also, have you been in any not at fault accidents? Insurance will still raise premiums if you get in a...

    MASTER THREAD: Tesla Insurance Services in California

    I was sort of surprised at both quotes. Geico was the cheapest on my 2017 Ram 2500 cummins laramie (almost 80k truck) at about 150 a month. Then with this 60k car they wanted 305?? that made no sense. Tesla I was assuming would be around 200, but ended up way lower. I work with insurance on a...

    California HOV decal delays?

    I'm not sure what you are referencing here.... Vehicle reg stickers in california go on the rear only unless it is a commercial vehicle above 10k GVWR in which case they go on the front only. The sticker color already denotes the year the tag is. HOV stickers are totally different. Someone was...

    MASTER THREAD: Tesla Insurance Services in California

    Just got Tesla insurance. Had Geico which was the cheapest for me since I was 19. They wanted 305 dollars a month for my Model 3 Performance. Tesla was 148. Came out to 168 a month because I like to carry overkill coverage and 500 deductible. I am 24 with a "clean" driving record (bunch of...

    Model 3 12v battery dead

    Just for a bit of information to yall, the reason people aren't getting warning before their battery fails is because it is an abrupt failure of cells. If a batteries max charge started going down you would get a warning but the fact that people are at 6v tells me that 3 of the 6 cells failed...

    Not the right place, but no, I would not expect any major changes. Tesla updates things throughout production so there may be minor changes that don't change how things work, but I would not expect major updates for a few years

    Lol no luck here with an order of the same vehicle on 8/20.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Very much so. The worst part is if they tell you a delivery time "it's just a placeholder" and it can change at their whim, but if you are an hour late, they will just sell your car to someone else and put you at the back of the line.
