    Car Wash Anim?

    Has anyone noticed that when you exit Car Wash Mode, the car graphic on the screen does a quick little diagonal "swoosh" of light across the car body to show that it's all nice and clean and shiny? I've experimented and noticed you cant "cheat" the car .. you have to be in car wash mode for some...

    Waypoint Arrival and Continue Trip

    Quick (and probably dumb) question about waypoints in the Nav system (and especially with FSD beta)... If you setup a nav route with waypoints, when the car reaches the first waypoint it just stops (if you are sing FSD beta). Ok, how do you get it to proceed to the next waypoint on the route...

    Suggestions for V11 Rework/Improvements

    (Started in a new thread to focus on constructive suggestions to improve UI rather than just complaints...) Ok, so here is my list of things that I think need to be changed/improved in V11, and how I think they should be changed. Of course, this is just my personal opinion, but I've attempted...

    Waymo Cars Having Fun in SF?

    Looks like Waymo need to tweak their mapping data... https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2021/10/14/dead-end-sf-street-plagued-with-confused-waymo-cars-trying-to-turn-around-every-5-minutes/

    New Car Wash Mode Not Working

    So, I turned on the new "Car Wash" mode (from the latest software update). It's 24 hours later and my car is STILL as dirty as ever!!! Has anyone else got this feature to wok properly yet? I'm really FURIOUS at Tesla .. thinking of a class action suit over this outrageous lack of functionality!!!!

    M3 Overcharging Slightly with 2021.4.18.3

    Just noticed a slightly odd behavior after getting 2021.4.18.3. My car, which is set to charge to 70%, always seems to charge to 74-75% instead. Not sure if its *actually* charging to a higher level or the readout is wrong (i.e. its still "really" charging to 70% but its displaying it at 75%)...

    Steering Wheel Icon Moves when in Autosteer?

    Ok, this is probably going to sound so dumb... I only just noticed today that when I have autosteer/NoA engaged, the steering wheel icon on the screen, as well as turning from gray to blue (to show the car is steering), also actually TURNS left/right as the car turns, or as I tug the wheel...

    M3 Smart Key Ring Unlock

    Debating getting one of the smart key rings (ring that works like the M3 keycard to unlock car etc). Found two vendors so far: COLMO Key Ring for Tesla Model 3 CNICK Key Ring for Tesla Model 3 Was wondering if anyone had bought one of these, and if so would they recommend it or not? I've...

    So Many Traffic Signals...

    Was amused to see this on my screen while driving a few days ago... Actually, what the car was seeing was this (though there were other signals as well not visible)...

    Slip Start Disabled

    Snowing here for first time this year in Seattle, though I would double-check car (M3 LR AWD) settings for snow driving (all the usual ones). However, I noticed that the Slip Start option in Driving screen is disabled. No, I dont intend to enable this unless I need it, but I'm curious as to why...

    EVs and Tesla at end of decade (2029)?

    Total "waste of time" thread, but would be interested in others take on how EV and Tesla will evolve over the new decade. A few guesses by me to get the ball rolling: -- 10 million new EVs on the road in the US (I think that's conservative given Tesla numbers for 2019). -- No major battery...

    Enhanced Summon = FSD Baby Steps?

    Something I was ruminating on the other day... I've heard a few people saying they think enhanced summon is a waste of time and a gimmick. However, I think Tesla are using it as a test-bed for FSD. Yes, enhanced summon is slow and clunky in some ways, but the set of problems it has to solve are...

    2019.20.2.1 Auto Brightness Broken?

    Is anyone else having trouble with auto-brightness of the display after installing 2019.20.2.1? This used to function fine before this update, which claims to have "improved" the feature, but in my experience seems to have broken it. -- In daytime it either wanders all the way down to like 15%...

    No "Dual Motor" Lettering on M3 LR AWD?

    Well, got my nice new M3 LR AWD last week, and (of course!) I'm loving it. Only yesterday did I notice that it doesn't have the "Dual Motor" label on the back of the car. Have Tesla stopped doing this? It's def a dual motor M3 (ordered that way, shows that on VIN and shows Dual Motor on the...

    Mystery Icon

    So I just noticed that when I stop a small loudspeaker icon appears just below the auto steer icon (top left of screen). But what is it for? It’s not in the latest manual. Tapping it changes the icon to show an X (like mute) but it does NOT mute the music. What does this icon do?

    M3: No off button for audio?

    So I'm loving my new model 3, and the new audio system. But sometimes I just like driving without music. But so far as I can find there is no OFF button for audio? The nearest seems to be clicking the left steering wheel control to mute audio. But does that (for example) stop streaming from my...
