    A/c Issue - Auto setting not generating high fan speed

    So this completely blows. I tried my local service center and they said they were overbooked so they can't take walk INS. I went to a service center 15 miles away which took me 45 minutes to get to of course. They are least did a computer health check and saw nothing wrong, but acknowledged...

    A/c Issue - Auto setting not generating high fan speed

    It does cool when the fan is set to a higher speed. The expected behavior should be that the ac fan increases with the cabin temperature increase but it's not doing that at all.

    A/c Issue - Auto setting not generating high fan speed

    Anyone aware of how to troubleshoot an issue like this? I noticed this same thing happening to my model 3 today. It's 96 degrees out but the fan does not increase in speed to cool down the cabin like it used to. I have a scheduled appointment but unfortunately there are no walking...

    Software Update 2020.12

    In the past this was caused by an update that failed several times. Check in with the service center to see if they can push an update to your car.

    Check your wheel size in the configuration in your car. I'm averaging 240wh/mi. I also have lr rwd. I do have 18 once aero wheels.

    Traded in my 2018 LR RWD for AWD: Observations

    I haven't had any issues with the garage closer when leaving. It seems to work reliably for me. I'm on a red 21xxx number received in June 2018. Not sure what differences / factors might be at play as to why it doesn't work. There might be a garage door opener app that you might be able to...

    Are we Really Really Saving Money owning a Tesla?

    I too have had my model 3 since June of last year and I really didn't buy my model 3 because I thought it would be cheaper. I bought it mainly because I wanted a Tesla, they have a built in supercharging network, I liked the car and the technology, more power, faster and the benefits of being...

    AC odor removal and cleaning

    FYI: I just had the mobile service come out and rotate my tires and he asked me if I had smell in my AC. I did not, he assumed that was because my car is garaged and there is low humidity where I live. He did say that they are looking at how to fix this somehow.

    Dog Mode Improvement Needed

    Very cute dog by the way! You may want to consider having some of the folks on here who have 3d printers come up with a plastic form fitting window button cover. This brings up an interesting point, however, do the window buttons still work when the car is locked? It seems like an easy way to...

    Largest concern about buying a model 3

    I would take a step back and think clearly. The Cars Tesla makes are extremely good cars. I have people I work with that still are talking about my car. The company is at a very high infrastructure investment point especially with a new gigafactory in China being built. I got my first Tesla...

    Elon Confirms Those Who Purchased FSD get Computer Upgrade Free

    You have to watch the autonomy day video. They explain just a little more on which vehicles may be upgraded. I believe this is for vehicles manufactured after August 2016. I could be wrong but I think that's what he said

    Now My Tesla SOUNDS like A PERFORMANCE CAR

    I think you meant blind people. Besides why can't we make a device that beeps based on distances for blind people instead of making all cars make noise? It would be a lot less devices that are needed. Plus, for them it can be more like Daredevil.

    Would you Robotaxi your car?

    Plug share questions

    Battery life - limited recharge cycles.

    I agree with Scaesare. For some perspective, i remember when I thought 120k miles on a Honda was a lot. Most current vehicle owners get very worried when their ICE cars pass 100k miles. Having a design that could support 300k miles is beyond what I believe other car manufacturers design their...

    Geeking out

    My previous car was a Honda insight. I'm extremely happy with my LR RWD model 3. It's an amazing car. Will be a year for me in June and still love how it feels to drive.

    Anyone going to upgrade to FSD before March 18th?

    Actually got my account fixed at the very last minute and upgraded to FSD.

    Anyone going to upgrade to FSD before March 18th?

    I wish I could but my account says I have to purchase autopilot and then full self driving. I have enhanced auto pilot already. My cost is still 5k for some reason. Kind of frustrated.

    Retro Fitting Model 3

    Well wait a min. The HW3 module i'm talking about is the one that they talked about in the 4th quarter conference call where they had the AI computer division speak to the investors and they told them that the new computer processing hardware could process 2000 frames per second, with full...

    Retro Fitting Model 3

    Well as I mentioned, my last conversation with both the service center and two customer reps from Tesla say that "my car has everything needed for FSD". I keep asking about the HW3 ability to upgrade and they keep telling me they have no information about that. And repeat the previous...

    Devoted Teslonian now developing a resentment

    Can I ask who told you about the computer upgrade? I just got off the phone with a Tesla customer service rep and he told me that they did not have any information about backfitting MCU's to older Teslas. This had me a little pissed today.

    Retro Fitting Model 3

    I have, every time I have called. They tell me that they see it and it's in my car configuration. But then they just say that this is a known issue and will be fixed when people get around to it. It's been at least two months now.

    Retro Fitting Model 3

    I just spoke with a Tesla customer support Rep and they told me that there is no information they have that says they will be retrofitting any older model 3's with the new MCU module. I also mentioned that this is what Elon said in the investor conference call and he said that they have no...

    FSD for $3K online for EAP owners?

    Well it was originally $5,000 for EAP and $3,000 for FSD if you purchased during checkout. If you purchased afterwards, then it was $6,000 EAP and $4,000 for FSD. I believe. This was before the price change at the end of last summer 2018.

    FSD for $3K online for EAP owners?

    I have EAP purchased on my car and it shows in my configuration, however my upgrade screen shows EAP for 4k and FSD for 7k. I've been trying to get Tesla to fix my online account for over a month now and no one is responding. Does anyone else have this issue?. I paid 5k for EAP when I ordered...

    Software Version 2018.50.6 - No new features

    I thought about this too, but then I thought if I can easily remove the charging cable by pressing the button then so can everyone else without a key to the car. I would not want anyone to do that to me, even as a joke. I have gotten used to simply opening the Tesla app and clicking on the car...

    The interior door latch that we shouldn't use??

    I watched a video a while back where it was explained that the window lowers as long as there is battery power. You can actually hear the window lowering in the video. If there is no power then it will open but may damage the trim. Damaging the trim in that kind of emergency may not be what...

    Software Version 2018.50.6 - No new features

    Haven't checked but sometimes.es there are fixes to existing features. For example when navigate on autopilot came out the lane speed recommended to change lanes was originally a one time change to the faster lane. A later update like this one added the feature that recognized whether you were...

    Anyone Use the Tesla 4U app?

    True but the Tesla app is controlled by Tesla. They have more immediate access to any security vulnerability information whereas all others simply have the API and no other inside information on what to consider next

    Another dumb idea, pedestrian low speed noise makers.

    I live near DC and I have seen people who don't even look before crossing a busy intersection. One made me slam on my brakes and I had a green light. He didn't even look at me once while crossing the street. But I didn't think this law was meant for people who could see. I thought it was for...

    Anyone Use the Tesla 4U app?

    I am a data person myself and I would love to have some data on how my car is performing, however, I'm not sure if I would advise that anyone install an app and give the app access to the car from a security perspective. No offense to any developers I know you folks are very security conscious...

    Model 3 review - After moving from RWD to AWD

    U But how are you able to take a tax credit for a vehicle you don't have? Something doesn't sound right to me. Doesn't matter though. If you claim it and you get it then good for you.
