    Tesla Solar Gateway / Wifi Reset

    Just got powered on yesterday with a 12.24KW system and no Powerwall (yet). SolarEdge inverter. I was getting data this morning, but I had to reset my home wifi and now my Tesla gateway has been unable to reconnect, saying "no signal" for over two hours now. It's plugged into my modem/router...

    Worst Experience Ever Trying to get Tesla Solar Installed!

    Having lots of issues as well. Two friends and I ordered systems. One is installed, was on for a day, but is now not working, and the other two have been back and forth in permitting for almost two months now. Getting any support from Tesla requires persistence, and any little snag or delay...

    Front Passenger Safety Restraint System Fault

    Update -- Tesla repaired my fault at a service center a month ago, and there have been no more problems since. It was in the shop for about half a day.

    Version 10 Range Loss

    Hi all, I know this has been heavily posted about already, but recently I charged to 100% for a trip and maxed out at 292 miles in a one-year old LR DM Model 3 (with 13,000 miles) that had previously topped out at 307 miles. The precipitous drop, pretty much over night, prompted me to call...

    Front Passenger Safety Restraint System Fault

    Hi all, my Model 3 is almost a year old and it's been a flawless ride so far. Today I got this Front Passenger Safety Restraint System Fault warning on the screen, and wonder if anyone else has seen this and what the outcome was. I've made a mobile appointment for repair, but am curious to learn...

    Model 3 Wiper Fakeout

    After we ran power for the Model 3, we decided to finish the garage. We're not done yet , but as soon as we finished mudding, the car began to fire up the wipers full blast every time we started it, or pulled it into the garage, The mud over the drywall screws must look like rain to the optics...

    Wheel Jog with Auto Lane Change

    This thread was really just an experiment to see how many posts it took for someone to call someone else an idiot. Thank you for your participation, everyone!

    Wheel Jog with Auto Lane Change

    But isn't having to apply constant torque another form of acknowledgement? It's still pretty much saying "I need your permission to do this," and it gets it because you are torquing the wheel. I was under the illusion that it would let me know it was about to change lanes so I could check, and...

    Wheel Jog with Auto Lane Change

    I have done that to satisfy the regular autopilot confirmation. But not for wheel changes.

    Wheel Jog with Auto Lane Change

    I have my 3 set to auto lane change with only the chime notification, and yet, every time it wants to change lanes on its own, it asks me to jog the wheel -- like the regular autopilot does during a drive. Is this a setting I'm missing, or is it just how it is right now? It's really no different...

    Teslacam Sentry Mode Issues

    Hi all, I have a 32 GB Corsair flash drive formatted FAT 32 that has been plugged into my car for months. The red light is always appears on the camera icon when I'm driving. Today, my Sentry Mode went full alarm. I got to the car very fast and noticed no damage, and suspect it was some very...

    Dumb question -- how did you adapt the memory card to work with USB?

    Tesla headache?

    I've never had a performance car before, and the ride is stiff for me and it's caused me problems, too.

    Tesla headache?

    I had a brain injury before buying my Model 3, so I'm very sensitive to G force. It gave me problems at first. It's been two months now, and I've cut back drastically on the hard launches, but still really love driving the car.

    Chicago trip advice?

    I'm a Chicagoan and a Malnatis guy, but really enjoy this thread. Question -- heading from Chicago to Cincy in the cold with 4 people in my 3. Planning to Nav on AP and stay around 70 MPH, running the aero rims and tires at 45 PSI. As soon as we get to Cincy, we have to then go down to...

    Right Foot on Autopilot

    I rarely used Cruise Control in my ICE cars. I suppose when I did it was on wide-open roads and I probably put my foot down. I have mostly been using AP commuting in the Chicagoland area, so traffic flow is usually busy both ways.

    Right Foot on Autopilot

    Hi all, What do you do with your right foot when autopilot engaged? I've only had my Model 3 LR AWD for a little over a month, but I find that when I engage the autopilot, I keep my foot tensed and hovering over the pedals, which creates more strain than actually driving the car. Just curious...

    What will you name your Model 3?

    Well, well. It seems there are at least two Rocinantes on the road now! I love my Red MCRN Corvette Class fast attack ship! :-)

    Autosteer Clarification

    I'm a new Model 3 own who did not pay for the autopilot functionality (yet). I notice, though, that I can elect to turn on Autosteer Beta. What does this do? Does it actually function if I haven't purchased autopilot? Does it only work when cruise control is engaged? Thanks for any help.

    USB corruption for dashcam recording

    I'm having this problem as well. It worked perfectly for two days, then the X appeared in places of the red record light. The drive also showed a bunch of files recorded outside the TeslaCam folder. I tried two 32GB drives, one formatted MS-Dos FAT on Mac, and the other FAT32 on a PC. Now...

    Model 3 Media Problems

    Hi all, in what amounted to one of the most amazing days in recent memory, I took possession of a my Model 3 this past Thursday having woken up that morning with no clue it had arrived. For the first few days, we were able to play the streaming media options, voice command songs, play...

    Model 3 Order Agreement

    Thank you all. I got a call a rando call on Thursday at noon that there was a car for me at my dealership and could I please come pick it up. We scrambled all afternoon, the Tesla team was amazing, all ducks were in a row a few hours later and I drove away in my red 3!

    Model 3 Order Agreement

    First post, so thanks for indulging me as I get acclimated. I'm awaiting a LR AWD Red Model 3. This morning I received an email indicating that my order had been modified, but I have not changed a thing. Configuration is the same as my original order. The email included an order agreement, but...
