    Key fobs, key cards

    Thanks @terranx, that's exactly what I was hoping to hear. Hopefully more folks who "switched" will chime in and confirm at least the purchase price of a key fob will solve the problem.

    Site to give feedback to Tesla?

    This is extremely frustrating and annoying. It's 2023 and a major company provides NO MECHANISM to send them feedback. I went through the official site -- surely there must be some way to contact them about my issue. Nope. I go through a short self-service issue bucketing process only to be...

    Key fobs, key cards

    This problem is irritating me no end, it's the single worst performance aspect of the car. I've been driving my M3 for over a year and have tried multiple models of iPhone, including the latest iPhone 15 pro. I always leave the app running and always give it permissions to my location at all...

    Phone as key working intermittently

    The phone-as-key is awful for me, easily the worst aspect of this car. About 60% of the time, I walk up to the car, phone in pocket, and can't open the door right away. It takes anywhere from 1-15 seconds to open the door, though usually less than 5 seconds. (I stubbornly refuse to get the...

    preparing for first road trip -- advice?

    Thanks everyone for the replies! Didn't realize there was a way to check amenities near superchargers on Tesla's site, that's good to know. OTOH I'm not interested in walking half a mile to get to them. :^) Here are a few things I learned on this trip. I'm sure these are common knowledge to...

    preparing for first road trip -- advice?

    I've got ~3K miles on my M3 long range, but all around town, charging exclusively at home. I'm preparing for my first road trip: round trip between Seattle and Vancouver, BC. I'll be going with my pre-teen son. I have T-Mobile cell service. My main concerns are about cellular data while in...

    Using SSD for Sentry and music

    These formatting instructions worked great for me, thanks! I have an old Mac Music library (nee iTunes). I copied the guts of the library over to the SSD as-is, and this worked almost perfectly. Whenever I select the USB device, I see all my music, no subdirectories. (Maybe the car is...

    Is it a problem if my Tesla Wall Connector uses a different wi-fi (wifi) network?

    Thanks for the suggestion, but it's a bit more work than I'm willing to put in. I may just end up running a cable to my main machine, which should enable scanning both directly from the MFP and from the computer. They're close enough for a cable, I just never needed one prior to the Orbi 6E...

    do you really need a portable air compressor?

    Hmm, that one's twice the price of the one an earlier posted recommended, but having both AC/DC power is very tempting, as most of the time it might end up being used at home rather than on the road. Thanks for the recommendation.

    question about Apple Mac music library

    I've found with our other cars, I really dislike Bluetooth's handling of music. Specifically, it restarts music when it shouldn't, and I haven't found a way to prevent this. (E.g. after starting the car, even though music wasn't playing when I stopped the car previously, music starts. Also...

    question about Apple Mac music library

    Soon to be new Model 3 owner. I'm setting up an SSD with partitions for music and Tesla cam footage. There are some great posts on how to do this already. I don't use streaming music services, but I do have a large-ish library of audio files in Mac OS Music (formerly iTunes), which I have...

    Is it a problem if my Tesla Wall Connector uses a different wi-fi (wifi) network?

    All replies have been super helpful, thank you! I'm going to leave the TWC as-is and see if there are any downsides. Orbi 6E does make it easy to enable both a separate guest network and a separate IoT network. I haven't tried the latter yet, but I'm not sure it would be any better -- still...

    Is it a problem if my Tesla Wall Connector uses a different wi-fi (wifi) network?

    Will be getting my Model 3 soon. Is there any downside to having my Tesla Wall Connector provisioned to use a different wifi network than the rest of my devices + phones + car? I've had a terrible time trying to get my TWC to join my main wifi network. I recently switched to a new quad-band...

    do you really need a portable air compressor?

    Thanks all for the recommendations and explanations! I was also convinced and ordered one.

    do you really need a portable air compressor?

    First time Tesla owner soon. I've seen lots of threads discussing different brands of air compressors. What I'm unclear on is how important is it really to get one? How important is it to either have one in your garage at home or to take it with you? Are Tesla tires constantly losing air...
