I miss the black/green bar showing realtime rate of charge/discharge. I like the speedometer getting larger, but does it need to be SO big? Bring back the tiny bar that showed green when I went down a big hill.

Do you have a 3rd party app that’s notifying you, rather than Tesla? I know my Stats app has the option to notify me at a pre-set %. I’ve not EVER been notified at 50%. I believe you’ve got to find the setting that is not to your liking and change it to fit your needs.

I tried to locate these Erange Ecosphere tires here north of Seattle. No luck at Discount Tire or Midas. I’m getting Primacy’s again, I guess. Midas actually told me this AM they “don’t service Teslas”, though Midas was listed as an outlet for Sailun Erange tires. I don’t know if this is...

Has anyone seen noise levels on these E-tires? I have stock Primacy’s now on my 2019 M3 LR, but want something with better range and quieter. Anyone have experience with ERange for noise level?

My sentry is off and it’s unlocked at home in the garage. I also, routinely, turn off radio and climate control when I’m parked. Otherwise anyone walking through the garage with a phone connected app will “wake” the car. I don’t know if this comes from the 12V or the big battery, but I’d...

So did you not use Recurrent app? I didn’t like it’s association Smartcar. Has anyone asked a Tesla rep. what they think about this app? I’d like to quanitfy my battery health but wonder about having it in my Tesla.com acct. Opinions?

I don’t have FSD. Phantom braking I refer to is on basic autopilot.

That interesting that your S does that. Our M3 doesn’t change even though my hubby sometimes goes to the door first. It stays at the last setting for us, which is for me. Perfect!

I see you’ve had a 2018 Tesla and now a 2020. Do you see any difference in number of phantom braking events? I’m trying to determine if the older US sensors in the 2019 are worth keeping the car a bit longer. I seldom have phantom braking, and really want to keep it that way.

That’s not right! Make noise.

I frequently have to override my wipers on AUTO, though I’ve not tried to turn them off entirely. I’m usually in a deluge needing more. I have the icon moved onto my screen so it’s quick and easy to access.

I haven’t activated the pin, but always listen that it locks. Sometimes it doesn’t.

I test drove the 2023 Model 3 today. The seats were awful. They were too firm and the head rest too far forward. I wouldn’t be able to live with them. My M3 2019 LR is fabulously comfy. There is such a contrast. The one I drove was Std Range. Does anyone know if the quality of the seats is...

I realize this post is 6 months old, but I just drove a 2023 M3 Standard range and felt like I could not live with the seat though I love my M3 2019 LR! How can it make such a big difference, I don’t know. Something is pushing and not giving in the wrong direction. I’m going to keep mine.

Ditto that!

I’d also like to know this. The on-line chat couldn’t answer battery questions on new 2023. I thought that odd, but perhaps it varies?!

Yes, but, not all Tesla’s are LFP. Mine, 2019 M3 LR is not. I maintain it at 30-80% charge unless there’s a planned longer drive.

That’s not right. I had one issue that I scheduled service for and when they viewed the problems, they communicated and re-initiated some over-the-air fix that totally took care of the issue. I also found my car to bit a bit twitchy in the 1st couple hundred miles. I’m not sure if it was me...

Interesting, I wish we still had it here. Thanks for your reply. Enjoy your car.

I was about to enter a question about comparisons of owners of 2023 to compare with 2019. I have a 4 year-old 2019 M3 LR and love it. Since mileage is creeping up, 56K, I’d consider getting the newest M3 LR. Are you experiencing more phantom breaking? Have you driven it in the rain to see if...

I find 2 apps useful for this information, but I know there are others. I use Superchargers by Ndili and ABRP (a Better Route Planner). Having just done a multi-charge stop trip, I found all to be useful supplements for the cars plan. AC is huge when traveling in hot climates, as you probably...

That’s crazy!

Was the electrical receptacle really old? Some of them didn’t have 2 different size slots.

Schedule service to check it, since your warrantee isn’t up yet. As long as you start the process before it’s up, it should be covered. (Mobile service rep told me this when I was having an issue past warrantee expiration).

As a cyclist myself, it freaked me out when a guy rode his bike in crossing lane in front of my car at a stop sign and my screen showed NOTHING! Not FSD and I was at a stop sign, but not as I would expect it to be. He was in the right of way, but SHEEESH! I don’t know if it gets anywhere, but...

Does your Tesla see bicycles? Mine sees motorcycles and pedestrians but is bike-blind. Surprised and disturbed at this!

No thanks. He’ll have to figure it out. My car, my choice. i haven’t seen a qualified alternative yet.

Have a buddy with 3D printer, print one. Mine’s lasted 4 years and counting.

I think “the knob” is ridiculous. It’s what I think is laughable about other EVs interiors I’ve seen. Just buy another car and don’t add “the knob” to your Tesla.

I really hate “the bloop” and hope I can turn it off or change it.

Slap on a couple window decals-no confusion.

I suspect there's a keycard on the console (hard to see if in driver’s seat) or active phone inside the car. Wish I could learn more about the event.

Can anyone tell me about the 2 M3’s in Canada that were apparently accessed and driven away accidentally by wrong Tesla owner? They were in the news March 2023. My sis-in-law sends me all the “issues” she finds and I feel the need to clarify what happened.

Mine usually flashes as I approach but I don’t always see it. I thought it was because I was already at doorside sometimes when it does.

I guess I don’t have the answer but I’d say why do you need one? In 4 years I’ve never missed having authentic keys or fob. Though I have forgotten my wallet or my phone from time to time, I’ve not ever needed a fob. Try living without one for a bit.

Ditto re: the UI of gray fonts on white background or white on gray backgrounds. Sexy...but I know the age of the designer when I see it and glower! As an older driver, I want fun as well as green and reliable. It puts zip back into my step. I thought if I didn’t make the leap to a more...

I think you may have to plan to keep the phone with you. I too use the phone 99% of the time, but have forgotten my phone inside and have forgotten my card at home. Either of these situations can be problematic since the card backs up you “phone key”.

I used to take pictures of the huge trucks that parked next to me while shopping. I’ve given up. It’s now so common, it’s not even funny.

Is that significant? I’d look for sound machine with good battery. Maybe I’m just an old fuddy duddy...

Yes, because it’s a nearly empty parking lot...

I have a 2019, and I’m assuming it’s the same as yours. I touch and lightly press the back door handle enough to wake the car, but not open the door. Then when you press on the handle’s “button” it releases. See it that works for you.

Haha! I thought it was just me! I have parked in a totally empty lot one time and came out to see a panel truck within a foot of my beautiful new car! It hasn’t stopped. It’s sometime magnetic about Tesla’s and big pick ups, too! I do think the best idea is to park near another nice (or...

I enjoy the new feature showing detailed battery usage on trips. I sometimes try to use the projected energy, even if I turn down heat, or slow down in the last couple miles to get there. Predicted usage has been pretty accurate until it got colder out (high 30’s).

I have a 2019 M3 and, yes, you can turn them off and also set them they way you want. The icon is to the right of your climate controls on the bottom of your MCU.

My range loss is about 3% (or less) at 50K miles. No complaints. I don’t charge to 100% to check it!

I believe I’m primary and generally drive. We got in the car today and all was fine until we got out to walk away. I didn’t hear a locked sound, so walked back to retrieve my phone. Oops, I’d forgotten it at home and car locked. No indication I didn’t have it during the drive. It was driving...

That’s a poor start!! Call your local Service Center and have them send you one ASAP! No excuse for leaving that out. I hope there’s another Tesla owner near who can step up in the meantime.

22F says a lot. Every system in the car now is provided by the battery, not ICE. Climate, lights, forward motion, etc. Are you using climate inside, seat heater(s)? Using navigation feature it will project usage (roughly). This will allow you to plan charge stops as needed. I sometimes...

When we do "the approach", it stays on the profile of the person who drove last. It has not been an issue except 1 time my spouse remained in the car and the alarm went off. We both got notification on our phones of the alarm! Whoever gets there 1st causes the car to unlock, it seems.
