I used the cleaner and changed filters when the stink first occurred at around 2 years, and it worked for about another 2 years. Just did it again. It seems like if you just do this periodically it is not an issue. My filters were pretty gritty both times so it was good to get a change in anyway.

I can't stand the new UI. No signal strength for coverage, too hard to get to tire pressure check, too far to dig for seat heaters and defoggers, favorites too hard to get to in entertainment. It's a mess and is a huge step backwards. Apologists can do your best, but it is a terrible update.

I wish there was enough material for a new category. There are still very few electric boats out there and only some of those are practical. I would love to see a trawler with decent range or a super-cat -- 40'-60' -- that could sail or e-motor. All should be able to make to most of available...

I don't need another M3 as I have one already (P3D-!). I was planning to get a Cybertruck as that is really what I need next. It looks like there will be several other options for trucks in the next year or two, so that works. I love the CT design but I'm OK with a plain-old EV pick-up. As far...

Clearly this move is about sending a message, and I for one received it. I love my M3 but my next EV will not be a Tesla.

Supposedly this and streaming issues in general will be corrected in a firmware release. I suggest reporting it to Tesla though to keep the focus on it.

That thought had occurred to me, that they route system/warning audio via a completely different path. I wish I had thought of it while I had the scope attached though. I may stick my head down there and listen when I get the normal garage proximity alerts. Thanks!

See my recent post. The under-dash speaker on my passenger side is not activated at all. I checked it with an oscilloscope, with all sources and immersive on and off -- no signal. I'm not sure if that speaker is perhaps for some other use...for the stereo though it is simply not activated.

Just replaced my cabin air filter on my Performance 3. That worked out fine but I noticed there was no audio coming from the speaker that is on the panel that must be removed to access the filters. I checked it with my oscilloscope and there is no audio going to that speaker. My stereo sounds...

If that guy Jeff is part of the track team then the various Tesla race series should avoid this track in the future. We don't need people blaming Tesla for their shortcomings on Insta. Basically just spoon-feeding the Porsche crowd.

Hard to say for sure but I would not be surprised if there was a Decider involved who simply does not like Tesla. Hopefully Tesla had a contract clause that makes 1P pay for the re-location.

Yes, go to Elite in Miramar area, ask them to show you how to use their waterless wash system. Buy the starter kit and never have to wash your car again. You can do 1-2 panels every now and then and the car is always clean. I am three years in and the paint is great. Never washed with water.

OK Tesla Mobile was out this morning. The technician told me that this was a known issue and would be addressed in a firmware update. He also said that engineering was working on it. So that is a good answer, although in my case the issue has been going on for some time -- hopefully this is the...

TuneIn and Spotify both drop on me at random times and are unusable. I am having Tesla mobile to come out and look at this. I suggest anyone having this problem do the same so that Tesla realizes we expect it to be fixed. It's embarrassing to even try using any streaming source with others in...

I think every streaming source is suffering. TuneIn and Spotify are both unusable at this point as they drop at random times, even when they have full coverage. I'm having Tesla mobile service out tomorrow to look at this issue. If you are having this problem and are in warranty, you should do...

I'm having the same issue. Also lose Spotify and TuneIn on a regular basis even in coverage areas. I have mobile service coming out Monday for the latter issue.

I complain about SC access often, so I want to say that these SC at 4S are amazing. They all appear to be operating and the recent expansion is great news. I don't visit that often these days but I want to say thank you to the Tesla team. If I catch any of them at the site I will be buying...

Yes, that is what I have done. I've used ABRP several times before although admittedly not in more than a year. I have my car info loaded as well.

What the heck happened to ABRP? It's not useful to me any longer. It does not even list the "route" -- which is part of its name. All I get are the suggested SC stops on a map that is poorly labeled. Not sure what is going on but they went the wrong way.

Paid Spotify does not offer the higher bit rate option (320k) so I don't see why another streamer would. That higher bit rate is more than sufficient IMO. To be clear, Spotify via a phone of desktop has an optional setting for a higher bit rate.

The 2019 AWD is cheaper because it is worth less. P3D- is where you want to be.

I started this thread, and the/my request was for a USB connection, not for "HD music". Spotify offers a 320kbps option -- which I use -- and it sounds much better than Bluetooth offers. That is why I want a wired USB connection. So yes, I understand the discussion, in fact I started the...

There is no point in reasoning with knightshade. Tesla is a worldwide brand and Spotify alone has 165m paid accounts worldwide. We have five users on our paid account. None of us have purchased a CD in more than a decade. We don't even own a CD player at home or in any vehicle. The...

I don't really care about Android TBH. As far as which vehicles have supported this in the past, read this very thread we are writing in. In addition to every car I have owned in the last decade, a crappy rental truck I tested included it. It is borderline ubiquitous. I'm OK with it not working...

It has noting to do with looking like a memory stick, you are confusing two different things. If it was then any needed decoding would be done on the car side rather than on the phone. Instead the actual analog audio is routed over USB. Routing audio over USB has been around forever. It works...

I can plug my iPhone 11 into my 10-year-old Mazda CX-5 with base stereo and it gets USB audio. Not sure how "modern" you are talking about but my phone is only about a year old. The phone is not the issue.

It's comical how many defend that approach, or perhaps I should say it is comical how strongly some will defend it. The entire car is minimalist and clean. Suggesting a kluge approach like this does not make sense. Yes, it works, and if you are still living in the Napster era. So would bringing...

As I stated earlier in this thread, I am almost 60. I maxed out on wisdom some time ago.

It's about know-how on this site, but in the larger world it is about brand. Lucid and Rivian have zero brand awareness. Few will make the second-largest purchase they will ever make from a brand that they don't know. It's taken Tesla eighteen years, with the most-visible CEO on the planet, with...

I think Tesla will be the only new automotive marque to survive the EV revolution. Porsche, Ford etc. will more than fill in the gaps around Tesla. These wanna-be companies like Rivian and Lucid will spend a lot of investor money and then ultimately disappear. Most car buyers will never even...

Oh I deny it for sure. It sounds like the BMW is a better match for you though.

I think strider has it exactly right. Those of us that can help these other marques and their owners succeed should do so. I love Tesla but contrary to popular belief, not all of us that love Tesla are fanbois. I would certainly buy another brand in the future if it was a better car. Not...

Not sure if anyone has referred you to this thread, but if not -- enjoy! Some beemer chat included. Just mashed the pedal on a Performance Model 3, OMG!

Welcome!

If not for that CEO that "does not give a damn" Ford would not even know what the acronym EV stands for. Complain all you want about Tesla CS, it does not matter in the larger scheme. Elon has successfully pulled the most unlikely marques -- Porsche and especially Ford -- out of the dark ages...

This is an easy question to answer -- join us in the future! Actually it is the present now but it is still decades ahead of that beemer. You will not be disappointed and you will most likely drive more than you do now, just for the pure joy of it.

A lot of people mentioning dings here but PPF does not really help with dings. Chips, yes. I had PPF on an older car and it was impossible to get off without damaging the paint. After 7-8 years, the PPF sections looked way worse than the uncovered sections so I wanted to get rid of it, but it...

If you don't see a difference between a dealer-driven purchase and a direct purchase, you may want to stick with Tesla exclusively. That said, I expect Ford will pull a Tesla and only offer the most-expensive variant at first. Undoubtedly that will include undercoating and a primitive bolt-on...

Yikes Ford is really shooting themselves in the foot. You can't take pre-orders without a real price. Avoiding the dealer is a decent portion of the appeal of Tesla IMO. I suppose the trade-off is that you will have dealer support when the thing catches on fire or bricks. Cybertruck definitely...

Yes I was able to get to the other Oakland SC. I never time it that close because -- surprise -- I do not trust Tesla at all in this regard. I don't even use SC that often and I have run into closed or inaccessible chargers multiple times. I don't get why they can't fix this simple issue. And...

Well, yes and no. The majority of drivers do not visit this site and even though I do, I don't think I should have to read a lengthy thread about every SC I visit. This is not debatable -- any SC that shows up on the map must be 100% accessible at all times, and if for some reason it is not...

The interactive map in the car does not get even close to this actual SC. Also they appear to block off all access after hours. Once again a SC that is totally hit-or-miss depending on a third party. Tesla -- please do not put SC in a location where a third party can close off access!

Arrived at this SC at 2AM Saturday night with low SoC only to find that the garage was locked. WTF Tesla? Why does the interactive map in the car not tell users that a particular SC is not available? Do they not understand that being able to access a given SC is mission critical. All these...

I'm at 2+ years now with no PPF and my car is still nearly perfect.

Yes, that is why I tried the same stations on desktop, where they seemed fine. I'll try one of TI's suggested stations.

Reboot did not help, I still get some period of music, usually less than a song, and then it just stops. I listen mostly to college radio so I just tested the same stations on my desktop with free TuneIn and they play fine. Seems to be a Tesla thing. I'm assuming nobody is logging in to TI or...

Lotus is not just a "rich people" car. It's true though, they should have transitioned to EV a long time ago. They had a great opportunity with the OG Roadster to learn about EV design. Given that Lotus generally sources their motors, it should have been obvious to them that a transition to a...

Coverage is great, I'll have to try a reboot. All other streamed audio is great.

TuneIn has been gradually getting worse and worse on my 2018 M3. Right now I can select a station, it may or may not work, but when it does work it will only last for 2-3 minutes, then it simply stops playing. Is that kind of the state of the union for TuneIn right now? I have free connectivity...
