Turning on and off the fart mode is another fix. No kidding.

My alert signal volume has gotten louder since yesterday. I first noticed this when I backed the car out of my garage to drive my kids to school. They all agreed that it's louder. The volume is not as loud as before I started this thread, but it's now at an acceptable level. One thing I did...

Nope. It's been four updates since the issue first appeared on my car, and the alert volume is still abnormally low. My GPS voice seems to come out of the central speaker only.

A wild story I heard many years ago was this: A NH guy so wanted to get the car of his dream right then and there at the MA dealership lot that he asked the dealership to pay him $1 to hire him to "deliver" his newly purchased car to himself in NH. The dealership agreed and that's how it's done.

I sorely miss the good old days when software updates gave you features that were useful (the one in late 2018/early 2019 that gave everyone an acceleration boost comes to mind). I have been more concerned about what would be broken/taken away by updates in the past couple of years.

I installed 2023.26.8 last night. No cigar-- the problem persists. I checked out Joe Mode. It's always been disabled on my car. I tried flipping it on to see how low the volume would become-- It's extremely quiet, verging on inaudible.

My 2018 AWD Model 3 was updated to 2023.26.7 two days ago. When I drove the car for the first time after the update, I noticed right away that the alert signals (safety belt not on, gear change, turns, etc) sounded a lot quieter/softer. Has anyone had the same experience? I haven't figured out...

I suppose you were referring to this thread (No longer sleeping after 2021.4.11) and other similar threads around March 2021. My Model 3 was hit with the problem back then. My car ended up having its charge port ECU replaced, although many reported a few days after my repair that a firmware...

Scratch the remaining black area so that they also look white. Repeat the same on the other side mirror. Total cost: $0.

I will be the first to shamefully ask: May someone please make a video when they try this and post it here? A big "Thank You" in advance.

When I first got my 3 in 2018, the auto wiper was actually decent, wiping at a frequency close to how I would set it manually. Over the years, however, the feature has gradually degraded in quality, and now to the point of being close to useless-- It wipes at '3' when I am driving on a road with...

I don't fully agree with your specific analogies, but I concur that the EV market will mimic the mobile phone market. That's why people should not jump on this deal unless out of necessity-- EV prices have nowhere else to go but down in the near future (barring another event that perturbs the...

Are you sure it's a woodpecker and not a cuckoo bird? 🤔 Honestly, I don't hear anything remotely resembling a sound made by birds in your video. I even put on my headset and turned the volume all the way up. Still nothing.

Seeing the recent price cuts, I am exasperated that I paid $55k for my Model 3 back in 2018. I have tweeted Elon to demand an immediate refund + lifetime free supercharging & premium connection for my car. I can dream, can't I? 🤣

The car looks drivable. Suppose you want to secure the year-end delivery discount without any uncertainty-- You can take the delivery, and have Tesla put it in writing that they will fix the car to match its original form ASAP. Personally, I'd wait because, from what I have read, you'll get...

With 7k miles on my set of PS AS4, I found them to consume around 20% more energy than MXM4 at highway speed and about 5% - 10% more at a lower speed. I have them set at 42psi. I knew that they were less efficient before I got them, but I didn't expect them to be this inefficient. Plus, at 80mph...

Haha. This brings back warm fuzzy memory from when I just got my Tesla I almost lived in my garage to record every sound it made, wondering if it was normal or not. I don't recall doing that for my first baby. :)

When you first get in the car and decompress the brake, the car does a self test of the various systems, as indicated by all the icons on the left edge of the screen showing up and disappearing one by one. This test usually takes around one second. If you lift the stalk while it's still doing...

An organic approach-- Lock some frogs/lizards in your car with the spider for a day or two. Good luck!

Just curious: Why is that one stall oriented differently from all the others?

Thanks guys for your inputs! Just came back from Costco, where I bought the tires. The tech took a look and then had his supervisor over. The sup said the location of the puncture made it irreparable. He removed the screw and did the soap water tests; there's no sign of leaking. I asked him if...

This is my rear tire on the passenger side. Is this fixable, or should it be replaced? Thanks!

Don't miss the top comments for the video-- folks shared their real-life experiences. Some suffered no damage to the car, others had their cars totalled. @TinSC, if your car was indeed struck thrice, you might want to consider getting rid of the car-- you never know if any component has been...

I have some superchager miles in my loot box. Their expiration date is marked as May 15, 2022. Anybody know if this means I can no longer use those miles on or after May 15? Thanks!

Oh no! Your link indicates that colloidal silver can turn us into the Smurfs! On the bright side, being blue-tinted should go well with my blue 3.

No worries-- Once your foot is on that accelerator, you'll forget about all the panel gaps, paint flaws, rattles and noises....

I haven't seen it posted here. This sounds quite concerning. SoCal man says car computer on his new Tesla froze, causing vehicle to be stuck at 83 mph on freeway

An alternative placement of the keycard. This way, you'll always have it with you (or you'll have things more pressing to worry about if you do lose it).

I got a set of Pilot AS4 installed last week. About 200 miles in, I find the tires to 'hold back' the car-- I need to push the accelerator deeper to get the same acceleration as MMX4. The pressure is set at 40psi (my old set was around the same psi). Does this match your experience?

Or maybe they were following the East Asian tradition of waving peace sign to ANY camera. You Tesla has 7.

I decided to go back to Costco. On my way there, the transposition went away on its own. So it appears the sensors do figure out their new positions, just that it may take quite a few miles. For me, it’s about 12. Still, all in all this installation experience was bad. First off it took almost...

@jjrandorin: Thank you very much for moving it here and for the tip of using 'report' to get the moderators' attention!

@moderator: I meant to post this message in the General Model 3 forum. Could you please move it there? Thanks!

I had a new set of tires installed earlier today at Costco. After driving it for a bit, I noticed that the the pressure of the driver-side rear tire was only 34psi. I went back to Costco and had them check that tire. They used their tire inflator (set at 42psi) on it and the inflator beeped (set...

Haven't seen it posted here. This article references the full recall document: https://www.theverge.com/2021/12/30/22859717/tesla-model-3-s-recall-trunk-latch-failure-nhtsa Owners should hear from Tesla by mid-Feb 2022.

Like you, I didn't like v4.x and tried to hold on to v3 as long as I could. The live sentry camera feature finally swayed me to upgrade to v4.x. I still don't like it, because its overall appearance looks fuzzier to me than v3, and there's no way (at least I haven't found one) to tell if the car...

Thanks. You may be right. iPhone SE 2 is notorious for battery drain. But on my primary phone (iPhone 11) Tesla app shows only about 1 hour of background activity in a 24-hour span. The 5+ hours on the SE certainly looks excessive. I am changing the location service to 'while using' to see if...

I have Tesla app v4.3.0 running on my iPhone SE Gen. 2 (2020). I rarely use this phone as it's a backup, yet I find that I need to charge it every other day or the battery would go down to zero. According to the 'battery' page in Settings, Tesla app is the 100% hog. I have tried swiping up the...

I have the opposite issue after installing 2021.36.5,1 a few days ago. The wipers now are very slow to kick on and, when they're on, the frequency is too low. It's been rainy quite heavily in my neck of the woods in the past few days and this problem bugs me tremendously. Anyone noticing the...

The mobile service came and replaced my charge port ECU yesterday. Since the repair, the car has been able to fall asleep even when plugged in. FWIW, the tech shared that changing the ECU doesn't work in all cases. I feel blessed that it's working for me (and I am keeping my fingers crossed...

I just had my inspection done at HM Motorworks in Merrimack, NH. They were familiar with Tesla vehicles (they had the jack pads), and I was in and out within 30 minutes. Tidy, efficient shop and Chelsea at the front desk was super friendly! BTW, the shop is on a loop that's good for walking if...

Has anyone here with a Model 3 tried this? I did, and my car still did the sleep/wake shuffle.

Let's see if we can identify a common denominator for the cars that have the problem. I will start: 1. Model/type/features: 2018 Model 3 LR AWD; HW2.5; basic autopilot; no FSD; no performance boost. 2. Current mileage: 25k. 3. Current firmware version: 2021.4.12. 4. Firmware version when the...

One interesting (at least to me) observation-- It doesn't matter if the connector is supplying power, as long as the connector is plugged into the car, the car would cycle through the asleep/awake states repeatedly. I learned this by staying in the garage to monitor after cutting the power to...

My car just updated to 2021.4.12 two hours ago. The problem remains. :(

Two recent threads in other teslamotorsclub forums that seem to be on the same issue: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/2021-4-11-model-3-suffering-from-insomniac-after-update.222815/ https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/my-car-is-constantly-charging-is-this-normal.219507/

I keep my car plugged in as much as I can. Here's my TeslaMate log for the past 20 days: As you can see, before the update on 3/3, the car was either charging or asleep the vast majority of the time. Since the update, it's either charging or online. The block of green to the far right...

I noticed from the TeslaMate (adriankumpf/teslamate) log for my Model 3 that it has been online all the time since it's updated to 2021.4.11 two weeks ago. I have rebooted, turned off TeslaMate, and killed the Tesla app on my phone, and none of these actions made it fall asleep. Has anyone...

I drove down Rt. 3 from NH to MA yesterday, and found the highway exit signs had all been re-numbered, while the map on my Model 3 still showed the old numbers. My questions: 1. Has anyone got an updated map with the new numbers? 2. Have the signs on I95, I90, and I495 in MA been updated yet...

Jeez. I saw this exact issue brought up way back in 2018, and it's still not resolved in more recent years!?
