I turned the turn signal camera back off, as I considered it a real safety hazard. In anything but bright sunlight, it is hard to see if a car is close. Especially on the right rear quadrant. I found it provided poor vision at night, at dusk, and in the rain. Not a safe solution, and very...

I was told by Tesla to never force close the app. Always leave it on. Which I do. But then, I just had another failure with phone key today. One of many in the past year. Car looses connection with the phone app - but this is not your typical bluetooth/cellular connection, as I can do anything...

There is a Supercharger station just off the freeway in Pismo Beach - about 10 stations, and a new one under construction in Arroyo Grande.

Two really big problems with UI old or new format (IMHO): 1) Warning messages should be in much larger font and stay on the screen a bit longer. This is a real safety issue to me. 2) Blind spot detection and warnings - same, a big safety issue for me in my 3. There is a blind spot and I can't...

I can't measure (obviously) but my display, 2018 model 3, the speedo. numbers appear to be larger, and the backup field of view wider. Took a while to figure where mileage data and tire pressure went - see the thin bars either side of 3 dots near the bottom of the screen. I don't have the...

Just experienced the phantom breaking 3 time today. All were while using AP and transitioning from shadow to sun - 2 underpass’s and 1 tree shadow. Tesla does not seem to consider this a real problem. I did discuss with a tech last year. He looked at my logs and told me he saw no problems...

Thanks for the review. I have an August, 2018 model 3 LR, and I have had zero problems. No factory defects, no problems subsequently. I replaced a tire when I picked up a carriage bolt in the sidewall, but that's it as far as repairs. I charge to 90% and get about the same range as you. The one...

For what it's worth, I have a two year old Model 3, and I have had ZERO problems. Mine was built in August, 2018 which was one of the largest production months.

Humm. Two contradicting comments here - who is correct: does it use cellular or wifi? I will do some experiments.

Long term these kinds of bugs will affect sales. The larger community of drivers will not be as tolerant. Has anyone become familiar with bug situation on Audi or or Ecars? Im curious how buggy they might be.

Thanks fr the comments. Yes (being a software guy) I am fully aware of the futility of fixing all the bugs. I too am assuming it is a s/w issue. You make a good point about transition from wifi to LTE. Wonder if tesla nerds have looked into that. Still love the car, though.

Frequently, when selecting a Spotify station, I get a 'loading error' message and a spinning arrow in the media center displayed over the selected media text. Has anyone else had this problem? Service guy said this was due to lack of a wifi signal, but that's just nonsense. Besides, it happens...

My garage is a tight fit. I depend on summons to back the car out and return. It has been flaky ever since I got the car in 2018 (a model 3 LR). I know the app has to be active on the IPhone to work, and bluetooth has to be enabled. But yesterday I could do nothing with the app to get the car to...

Google maps include metadata (which you can't see) including posted speed limit.

Google includees metadata in the app

CR makes some mistakes in every article about Tesla. EX: last year they stated that tuning and volume control of media was dangerous as it required management from the console screen I.E. not watching the road. I wrote them about the button controls, but never got a response nor a correction...

Yeah, and/but Scotts Valley got 12 high speed superchargers - makes no sense (except a lot of rich techies live in the mountains nearby). Why there and not King City or ??? Anyone know how these decisions are made? Is it done by Tesla, or 3rd. party?

Was hoping it would be open soon, but looks like it might be a year. Atascadero Supercharger is usually full. More sites needed along 101 Central Coast area for folks going LA-SF Bay area. Can't make it without a charge somewhere.

Most commands in the master list now work for me with 50.7 installed. I tried about 40. I have a LR single motor with premium package installed. The ones that don't work tell me the command is not supported yet. But, I do frequently have to try the command twice to get it recognized, I get the...

Still, app should not be able to crash console from misuse (bad bad design), and should not have to tap card to send. Should be a verbal command.

I have both the phone and car bluetooth settings set as described. Besides, no good app should freeze a console due to user action, regardless of action. And, it makes no sense that the card needs to be tapped twice to send a message. Very distracting. Just pushing the wheel button and...

My experience with texting command: 1) Send text to 'XXX' ccomes up with a message asking for the text I want to send - have to push a button on display to continue. 2) Takes text dictation correctly, but then I have to push another button to send it. 3) Nothing happens, except message box...

Maybe there is hope, Santa

Ahhh, but we DO have new games. I tweeted Elon about the need to fix this old problem. nO ANSWER.

Sorry guys, but I have the same problem, and I have had the same phone since I bought my Tesla in August, 2018. Problem started occurring after I installed 2019.36.2.1 - as near as I can tell. Happens with the door the first time I want to open it - whether or not I have previously used my phone...

Spoke too soon. Media center still hangs on Spotify, sometimes. Not as bad as it used to be, but still annoying. Need to Tweet Elon, thank him for video games, Sentry mode, dog mode, joe mode, but maybe it would be money better spent to focus on fixing the media issues. I see this as a safety...

I installed the last update on Monday last, now on 2019.32.12.2 and the media center problem seems to be resolved. Hope all bugs can be fixed this quickly. Thank you all for your comments.

Putting it on as I type, but thank you for feedback. I will report on this thread if it has helped. For reference to all: it is 2019.32.12.2

An update: it gets worse. Since I posted I have also had trouble at times with radio as well. Fortunately, the reboot clears it up. Does Tesla read the forums or should I call them (maybe watch TV while I wait the 45 minutes for them to answer).

Since I installed V10 a few days ago, I have started using my Spotify account. However, I have had problems with it freezing the media center periodically - I get a 'load error' message or the circling arrow, which never stops. The only thing that still works after this error is the radio...

Elon promised much better integration of music apps. and full function voice command of many systems (I would settle for media center, lights, wipers, and AC). Supposed to come out this Fall. Somewhere there are groups testing this currently, not just working on Atari integration. Also, I do not...

Can't speak for Illinois, but in California you would need to tell your insurer you agree to use your deductible insurance to get repairs started. This is the insurance which typically covers you if you are at fault (mandatory to have this in California). Once you agree to that, your insurer...

I have used auto lane change quite a bit this past week. I have had zero problems. I only use it on the freeways. I am on 2019,5,15. PS: according to manual, there are two ways to disable autosteer and cruise control - either turn the wheel (which tries to resist a bit), or tap the brake. It...

I used to have a Mercedes, dealer used to wash but stopped doing that a few years ago. Ditto for my wife's Prius. Ditto for my daughter's Acura. When the Teslas were a 'real new concept', percs were important to gain some traction. Not so much any longer. Can you imagine the cost of washing...

That came with 2019.5.15, which I received about 2 weeks ago. Hard to tell if there is more power, but I can now charge to 291/323 miles, depending on settings.

Did the same to me yesterday, twice. Is this a Tesla bug or a Googlemaps bug?

I had a flat on Friday, Feb. 15. Tesla sent someone out to swap, and told me to go to Santa Clara center to reclaim my tire. I was not given any paperwork by the driver. I went in on the following Wednesday (Monday being a holiday). The tire had not been delivered to Tesla, and they are still...

Need build 2019.4. Current build for M3 is 2018.50.6.

The referenced discussion is for model S. Will it become available for model 3 in the near future? I find that at night, it is sometimes hard to see if someone is on my right quarter.

Use the frunk.

Same for me at Santana Row. I used Capitol glass works for repair, after checking with insurer. I paid a $100 deductible;; they came to me for repair - very quick service and very thorough cleanup of broken glass. Note: Tesla model 3 quarter panels are in short supply, what with the rash of...

Manual says hold in drive or reverse for 3 seconds. I tried both in my car, and both worked.

I started programming before anyone knew what it was (1966). And, I consider programming an art form, like playing the piano. Either you are good at it or not (no binary joke intended). Complex programming, as must be involved with the basics of the Tesla OS, is a cerebral task, and it will...
