Hah! I could do the “hokie pokie” and it still wouldn’t work!

Hey all, This situation has existed for me for more than a year and I've tolerated it. But, it's increasingly annoying and I could use your suggestions. Basically, more than 75% of the time, my 22M3LR won't unlock with my paired iPhone in my pocket. I pull on the door handle, and Sentry Mode...

Thanks, none. Would definitely have shared if I had (and I read the manual to see which would have applied). I’ll probably share the update with Tesla on Monday and see which way they lean. Thanks!

Yes, if there’s something to fix, it’ll be under warranty.

Hey all, This is about a 22M3LR. Last night, I went out to plug in the charger (ChargePoint Home Flex) as I do every night. Pressed the charge port door, which dutifully opened. But, the charger wouldn't insert; came to realize that the locking pin was "up," preventing me from putting in the...

Hey all, Tint newbie here, so please excuse my basic questions. I want to get my back and four side windows tinted to about the same tint as on the factory Model Y back and rear. Seems that’s about 35%; sound right? There’s a provider in this area (A-Plus Tint) that seems to target Tesla...

Is it really that laughable? We count on AI for all kinds of pattern recognition, you’d think this one would be not that hard.

I'm willing to bet Tesla could make this work faster than all of us; they just aren't trying!

FYSA all, I'm not sure what he did differently, but the relative managed to get this to work right. Thanks!

I still go back to not having a blind spot in the first place; it's very doable.

Hey all, I know, it's an eternal issue. But this is unusual for me: usually, they misbehave a bit then seem to get "unstuck." Now, for the past week or ten days, they don't work at all. Like, today, I tried twice to see how long I could go in the rain before they'd start. Twice, I was...

Hello all, A relative took delivery of a 2023 MYLR over the weekend. He parks the MY in his garage, which is certainly low enough that, if he were to accidentally open the lift gate, the edge would hit the ceiling. We read through all the instructions online, and he (about 90 minutes from...

Thanks. Once upon a time, posters here suggested that some places seemed less knowledgeable about getting Teslas lifted, I don’t know why.

I’m running v11.1 2023.44.30.8, but no “birds eye “ visualization on reverse. What am I missing? (Though I’m not sure I really like it…)

Hey all, Question is pretty much as described in the subject. I live in MD and we don't have this inspection regime, so I'm not so familiar with the process for a VA owner near Front Royal. Thanks for any suggestions, Todd

Most insurers I'm aware of tend to charge more for Teslas, in part because they are more expensive to repair than other vehicles (particularly ICE cars). My research (when I was shopping) indicated that (for example) Progressive had a smaller delta between Tesla and ICE cars. However, someone...

Hey all, I just got home after a week's trip away from my 2022 M3LR. During my time away, the car was updated with the new AP-disabling software update. I'm happy for the Apple Podcasts addition, but a little nervous about the AutoPilot disabling additions. (This update reinforces my desire for...

With enforced Autopilot penalties for using your phone, the more stuff that’s well implemented on the main screen, the better. And, the best would be to just get over it and give people the choice of CarPlay/Android.

Thanks. Only interested in black 19”.

Hey, Yes, that’s probably a bit high, because I counted shipping, but also tax. Even without the shipping, it’s still about $1,620 with the discount and tax. Thanks!

Hello all, I have a 22M3LR in black, with the 19-inch standard aluminum wheels. I'd prefer black wheels, so I feel like I have two choices. One: I could have them powder coated, which would cost $960 for all four wheels, and I'd be without my car for about three days. Two: I could buy these...

Just to close this out, although it was a bit laborious, I got this thing set up correctly. The two key issues were: a) recognizing that I needed to go through the whole setup process again; b) manually entering the TOU info, because the app doesn't know anything about my provider/plan. Took me...

This is EXTREMELY helpful. Looks like it’s something you’re supposed to be able to select, rather than (as I was trying to do) tailor. When I went back to set this up from scratch, I discovered a few things. First, Tesla doesn’t recognize my provider (PEPCO) as offering service in my state...

Thanks. It’s not about charging the car, but how the app calculates what it costs. See my other reply.

Yeah, that’s the issue. Here, depending on the time of day, you pay different charging prices. Isn’t that the point? So, why wouldn’t the app let you distinguish?

Hey all, We recently switched to a time-of-use plan that reduces our electricity cost during certain (mostly at night) hours in exchange for higher rates during (mostly daytime) peak hours. But, I can't quite figure out how to program that into the Tesla app for Charge Stats. Is that possible...

Had a 2016 S until it was totaled. Have a 22 M3 LR. Like it a lot, but would take my S back in a heartbeat.

Hey, We have different cars and different situations, etc. But... wow... that seems to be a lot of precision charging to go through. I could be totally wrong, but it feels like BMS can account for a lot of the issue you're worried about. I normally charge my 2022 M3LR to 80%, 90% in winter...

Thanks for the above. While it's true I've had one for years, I've always been within a 30 minute drive of a service center, and now I'm within a 10 minute drive of one (they built another one closer to me, go figure). My roads are all paved, too!

Hello, A family member is thinking of buying a Model Y. He lives half way up a state-maintained dirt road off a well-paved road outside Front Royal, VA (for those who know the area). The nearest service center is in Sterling, VA, a 60 mile drive. If he buys the Tesla, what should he expect...

I wanted to just "like" this I wanted to just "like" this, but the uninsured part sucks.

On Disappointments, I agree a 360 degree view would be nice and appropriate; but the Tesla cameras are designed more for FSD than 360 degree view. Also, for better or worse, I'm not very sympathetic to the idea that you need a light on a mirror to handle this; it's just proper mirror adjustment...

How do these buttons adjust regen levels that aren't adjustable?

I appreciate the point, but... no. It's brake.

Anyone know what the radius of the "new" wheel is relative to the horizontal "span" of the yoke? One of the obvious idiot maneuvers of the yoke is that it significantly obstructs the driver's view of the left side of the landscape-oriented screen (not a problem with the portrait-oriented screen...

I'm curious what they will "stock" in the showrooms: yoke or wheel versions. My gut says yoke, at least at first. But, over time, I suspect it'll be the wheel (least disruptive).

On a long trip from DC to Syracuse, NY and back, I had about 6 instances during which AP slowed down radically for "unknown" reasons. I say it that way since, for the moment, it appears that AP felt it had entered a zone in which the speed limit was unknown or much lower than it actually was...

If you have no idea why people think this, you haven't been paying attention.

Competition => sanity, at last. Before Elon's Twitter debacle, I'd have said this would make me a Tesla customer for the foreseeable future. Bring back the stalks, and I'll think about it...

Hello all, I've got a 22M3LR with 7600 miles on it (took delivery this spring). Lately, I've increasingly noticed that, when it's raining and the wipers are operating (especially intermittently), they leave a haze on the windshield that makes visibility difficult or even dangerous when...

Hello all, Maybe it's seasonal, because I didn't notice as much in the hot mid-Atlantic summer, but this fall I started noticing a LOT of noise in my 2022 M3 when going over bumps and torquing the car (from speed bumps, driveways, deceleration, acceleration). These noises come almost certainly...

Or, use Gorilla tape! 😀 Seriously, that’s what I do. I went with CP for the reasons folks cited above (especially the cable length, when the cable on Tesla’s EVSE was shorter, and our power company did t offer a rebate on the Tesla unit). But I’ve been very happy to be able to let our closest...

The Genesis sedans are the line I’m most looking forward to seeing “electrified.” It’s not the same as a “from scratch” EV, like my M3, but if one is interested in diversifying away from Tesla sedans a bit, Genesis seems promising. Congrats!

No worries. See this link, which describes in detail how it works and the pros and cons. I typically use Optimum No Rinse Wash and Wax when I hand wash my Tesla (which is basically always). But, particularly in the cold winter weather, a touchless wash visit would be a good way to get road grime...

Thanks! Will work to get this thing organized (and title corrected) when the moderators engage again.

Hello all, As you know, Tesla recommends either hand washing or using a touchless car wash to keep our Teslas clean. I'm sure an increasing fraction of Tesla owners are just taking their cars to the usual rotating brush service, but I wanted to take a stab at creating a regional list of...

I'll only speak to the first: you'd have to say more about where the gaps are (horizontal or vertical, left or right), but some "gaps" are user adjustable.

I'm sure the Ryzen chip is there for some performance need we don't know about, so it's not nothing. But when I had MCU2 in my Model S, all I can say is that the map was (literally) dizzyingly fast at updating (for example, when I'd take a cloverleaf to get off an overpass onto a highway going...

I’m glad it works (mostly) for you, but it’s unnecessary and (sorry) won’t be as safe as a wheel in emergency situations. It’s not a winning solution for competing over the long run.

The S, no contest.
