Bad time of year to ask for examples, but I’ll ask anyways. Gotta be some southern climate owners here. What drain rate are you seeing when you have the overheat protection on? With hot muggy summers in MI, and car interiors reaching 140+, trying to keep my cabin at something like 80 seems...

Good info. Thanks. When you say ‘new security system’, I assume you’re talking about Sentry mode? Is there something else I don’t have yet? (Pending an update)

No. You’ll be fine. Pre-conditioning the battery is just using high amounts of energy to warm it up a bit. It won’t effect the car or battery unless you do it daily.

Hi all, Several of us up in the Great Lakes region were discussing cabin overheat stuff and someone suggested that it’s main purpose is to keep the computer from overheating during the summer. So, my question is: Has anyone who DOESN’T use cabin overheat and has subjected their...

They do this in the Michigan, (thanks Big 3). Any vehicle that doesn’t use gas is charged a $100 EV fee and a $35 administration fee. The state claims the fee is to offset the gas tax not collected by EV drivers. Okay, I’ll give them that. I’m okay with paying my fair share. But if you’ve been...

Having a way to review video in the car would be awesome. I still think the new notification is annoying. Based on my experience over the last 2.5 days, I'm going to come out to a car with Sentry notifications every time I get in my car. So, I'll get so used to seeing it and I won't even think...

It was. I got the 12.1 update 48hrs ago and just got the 12.1.1 update about 30 minutes ago.

I’d buy that. But that now means I come out to a car that has several ‘incidents’ every time I leave it. I walked in front of it, left to right, and it left a notification. Which leads me to believe that every time someone walks past my car to get to theirs down the isle, I’m going to have a...

That’s a good idea. Wonder if it will ever be the way.

UPDATE: I was trying to figure out the Sentry mode no footage thing in my driveway and I just got this notice. I’ll update in a few.

Figure this out though: Since the update, I get these notices when I get in notifying me I’ve had X number of ‘Sentry Incidents’. The first time I saw it, I was upset that my car hadn’t text me cause I was under the impression it was a severe event. I’d never gotten this message before so...it...

@SMAlset No problem. I do it simply because I appreciate when others do it on updates I haven’t got. It’s kinda like getting closure on what’s coming. The install weird. It made noises and bumps I’ve never heard car make. But, this is only my second update I’ve witnessed so..... @MarcG I was...

Stopped at the Supercharger, and although not really a ‘dead’ battery, it’s was better. I got up to 138kw, 500 miles/hour, and that’s with 30% battery remaining. I don’t think I would’ve got that 2 weeks ago. And, you can hear the battery pre-conditioning kick in IMO. We were on the expressway...

For me, I’m not using any energy if I can crack my windows. I’m not 100% sure how fan only overheat protection works. But if the fan comes on for 5-10 minutes every 30-45 minutes, over 8-10hrs I assume I’m losing a measurable amount of juice. Having said that, I’m used to just opening the app...

I’ve asked Elon in Twitter for a ‘window button’ on the app. Push the button once, windows roll down 2”. Push it again and they roll down halfway. A third push and they go back up. Same principle as any other remote command. I too would like this feature over having to let the fan come on every...

Can you explain the ‘Spotify Feature’? I don’t know if any connection with Spotify and Tesla.

I’m charged to 70% now. Taking a small road trip in a couple hours, then will hit a SC on the way home. I’ll post the results!

Went out to the car this morning and got notification of update. Sat in the car during the update and it made sounds Ive never heard it make before. Computer also crashed at end and prompted me to call Tesla Service. I did a scroll wheel reboot and when the screen came back online it said...

I have mine set to steering wheel vibrate on auto lane change and it changes lanes without confirmation. Right before it changes lanes it DOES ask me to ‘apply light pressure to the steering wheel’ like it does every 45 seconds or so, but that’s it. No confirmation needed.

YouTube. Go figure. @mongo, thanks for the link.

“The event will be webcast. Additional details forthcoming.” Nothing on Tesla’s site suggesting a webcast. Anyone have more info?

How does it come up with that estimate? Previous driving habits/style I assume?

Is the grey line what the car projects energy consumption to be and the green line is actual consumption? Need a quick answer to solve a family dispute. ;)

Valid point. Thanks for catching that. I thought it was an SSD. How about this: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/wd-my-passport-go-500gb-external-usb-3-0-portable-solid-state-drive-black-with-cobalt-trim/6295039.p?skuId=6295039

Yes, another Sentry Mode data storage thread. But one real quick question: Can I use this instead of the 64gb USB flash drive I bought? I wouldn't have to clear the drive for weeks...

I do. Twice this wee I've had to use it. Standing next to my car in the garage (waiting to goto work) and the car won't let go of the charge cable. I have to wake the car using the card in my wallet, then it will unlock the plug. Frustrating.

Congratulations! You’ll love it. Once you’re in it and driving, there won’t be any seconds thoughts. Besides, you can buy someone else’s 19s, or aftermarket ones down the road. “Welcome to the family”.

I just got mine. This Saturday will be 4 weeks. All I can tell you about the CHI dealers is to avoid the West Grand Ave location. I know the delivery process is always a bumpy road with Tesla, but I was in complete darkness until I finally called and offered to fly out to MN to get my car there...

I was in a similar boat. Needed the LR cause I’m in a cold climate and wanted the AWD cause my roads are crappy in the winter. But $57K was a bit high for my budget. So, I called Tesla and asked if they had any demo cars available. They had over a dozen. I got a 2018 LR AWD, VIN 103K, grey...

Same problem here. It's completely random too. It'll wake up from opening the app, then I'll open the app 5 minutes later and it won't wake up. It'll wake up 1.2 miles away on hike, won't wake up 200' away as I walk towards it. I'm with you. But I don't have the solution either. Following......

Came out to my M3 to find a couple of scuffs on the front bumper. Not horrible, I can get it off with some elbow grease, but would still like to see what happened. So when I unplug the USB and open the file on my MacBook, I've got a hundred video clips varying from 3-60 seconds in length. Is...

Look, as a Tesla owner and one who follows Elon on Twitter, I am familiar with the fact that the timeframes and timelines in his head vary with what is a reality. On 4/6 Elon said we’d all be getting ES. Wondering if anyone has seen any sign of this update rolling out in massive numbers as...

Thanks for the info. And thanks for the invite. Since there is nothing in Grand Rapids as of now, I think I’ll attend the Muskegon event. It’s much smaller and could use the attendance. Thanks again!

Is there a list going of ‘local’ Earth Day EV rides and events somewhere? Searching the first couple pages here I didn’t see one. I know of one in the Detroit area and one in Muskegon. (CANNOT believe there isn’t one in GR.)

I’m on 8.5. Has happened to me 3 times in ten days. Video of crash:

Good info. Thanks for the heads up.

@mociaf9 Got the heads up, thanks for the tag. And thanks to @bradleey for the update with pics. I tweeted and emailed Elon about putting in V3 superchargers. Apparently he didn’t get the memo. Jerk.

2019.12 is in Europe only, am I correct? I don’t know anyone on this version here in the states. I just got 8.5 last week.

We currently have our auto insurance through Citizens and have been happy thus far. But listening to a couple EV podcasts, insurance companies are beginning to lower premiums or offer discounts on EVs, and the M3 in particular for its safety. They said that such factors as less moving parts, not...

I was hoping for Advanced Summon in 8.5.....but to no avail.

I got 8.5 about 30 minutes ago. All I see is new seamless autopilot feature and stop light warning. No new games on my unit. PS: Sorry for the dirty screen. ‍♂️

Anyone else get it yet? Wondering if downloads are based on VINs? I didn’t even look through the notes very well. I assume it has the new seamless AutoPilot, (auto lane change).

Its hard to not get excited when you read stories like this. But I’m cautiously optimistic about it. I’m slightly concerned that these new features will come out and most of us won’t be able to use them for quite some time as our M3’s will have to wait to to be retrofitted. Still, hopefully it...

Michigan doesn’t require front license plates. I’d have been screwed here. Unless the place was willing to offer up parking lot camera footage. Does sentry mode record from the rear facing camera as well? With a wide enough angle, I might get the plate as they drive off.

Nope. Didn’t work. Holding for a short second or for a couple seconds. Fan stays on.

Anyone in West Michigan recommend a place to get my rim fixed? It met the curb.

I guess it’d just be a nice option to have. Did they offer multiple stops/destinations along a route yet? I don’t see that either.

Good. Thank you!

I can’t turn my fan off. When I bought the car, I must’ve been on the previous software version as the car asked me to update mid last week. But since to 8.3, when I click on the fan icon, the climate controls simply go away and the fan remains on. I’ve tried Turing the ‘auto’ button on and off...

Quick question: Driving home the other day from another area I’m not usually in, I set nav to take me home. What I’m a bit surprised about, is that the car chooses time over battery efficiency. What surprises me even more is there isn’t an option to switch between the two. I can see wanted to...
