There is just no way that is actually how it's going to work, sounds like the article misunderstood something and the earlier poster was right in simply saying you'll need to be present as a driver (and hitting the brake pedal initially to say as much) is now required for operating the windows...

Hah, okay, that makes way more sense. I also tried to read through the guideline for what the OP was saying and didn't see it, but laughed at the idea that they'd have folks tapping the brake cruising down a highway for a bit of fresh air.

That sounds like a "no way that actually happens" level change.

Surprised but good to hear- I'll try the app again after reading this to see if any of the other past usability issues are now cleaned up.

In a way I read your post and thought that was good to hear- I was under the impression that the Spotify app would at least provide a higher quality audio stream than the one we can get over BT, so I've felt I was missing out for a while, but I was weirdly relieved to hear the app is *also*...

Going to guess no, but would be happy to be proven wrong. Spotify in general has a ton of usability issues (example: it will let me view some of my saved artists but once it gets to a certain point in alphabetical order it'll just say "that's all you get!" and not display any below that point)...

How'd this end up working for you? I discovered signs of mice in my glovebox (2021 M3) and then realized my wife's ICE car had quite a bit of signs of nesting in the engine. Brought the Tesla in to check for signs of damage, and they thankfully didn't find anything but did find signs of...

Not much to add to this other than yesterday I ran into this problem on a thankfully short trip. I had turned on climate via the app (not the defrost option) before leaving while it (2021 M3 LR) was plugged into the wall charger. Heated fine. Drove 30 minutes to an appointment. 40 minutes...

That's about the only way I'd consider it (and I know it's not going to happen, at the same time). I do not expect FSD to be good enough, ever, on my 2021 M3, so I wasn't going to buy it and hope that before EOL for the vehicle it gets there. If it was something you could buy into at any of...

Model 3 owner on v11 and can confirm they’re still present. Can’t remember if prior to the update they would show up before you started driving or not, but they’re present while driving for sure.

The main theme for v11 is hidden features! Most of the things you use are now hidden!

This is yet another v11 downgrade- previously you could set your destination and mid-trip just tap the charging icon to show upcoming chargers near your route. Now you need to cancel your existing route or navigation and explicitly search for chargers- can’t do it without interrupting your...

Offering “simplified controls” is fine, but I feel like they’ve punished the people that liked the impacted functionality or would have wanted them to trend towards having additional control options added. Let these changes be opt-in/opt-out, or support update rollbacks. I was excited to check...

Just updated and am amazed at how much core functionality was pushed away from being easily accessible to something within a submenu. Really disappointed with the update.

Has there been any word on whether they'll get around to updating Spotify to support higher bitrate audio, now that Tidal is offered? That's near the top of my update wishlist.

Recent M3 owner, vision only of course, and found that when AP is engaged the car feels like it's hugging the double lines in the middle of the road (i.e. trending left versus staying in the center of the lane) enough so I've felt uncomfortable using it. This was on the 2021.03.105 update...

Ugh, that is ridiculous. I hope when delivery day round 2 hits the car is perfect after that. Sorry man!

Hah, thanks man (I’m good though)! This seems like as good a spot as any/think there were at least a couple other Tyson’s folks in the waiting room thread. How’s the car been?!

Nice on the VIN! Did you see some of my earlier posts about accepting financing "non-traditionally" and letting Tesla send the dealer funding request form (which you'll get when you accept your financing from your lender) to the lender sometime after the final day you have to accept the...

I have to register it, yeah. I reached out to my SA and got a "I'm out of office until 7/14" message which... seems wrong! Would like someone at Tesla to say "here's the forms you need, just send those in to the DMV and they'll send you back some plates" or something, but yeah, frustrating...

Was about to ping you to see if there were any updates, since we had the same configuration- hopefully not much longer now! No need for squirrels!

That's exciting! Glad your loan stuff seems to not be a problem too! I really wonder how they decide who has to go to Tyson's and who gets mobile delivery- I would have preferred to pick up there and am still kind of miffed over my delivery experience. I found a bunch of documents with...

(I do not have FSD but think I know the answer) You probably need to apply the same frequency of input to the steering wheel for FSD as you would for autopilot- guessing it's the same interval that it expects hands on the wheel or slight turning force. Obviously someone please correct me if...

How far over the 60 days are you? I (as far as I know) was able to accept the loan from my lender (USAA), which gave us access to the "dealer funding request" form I gave to Tesla. USAA told me I could do that and accept the loan "non-traditionally" where Tesla could use that form to get the...

Looks extremely sharp, nicely done! Saw a white 2021 Model 3 in Centerville today with the aero wheels in place, but uh, clearly not yours! I see you are also resisting putting on that front plate- bummed that's required here! Ended up picking up a "Quick Bandit" yesterday even if deep down I...

Looks sick! Meanwhile I haven’t even put actual plates on mine 😬

Hah, that last part was not lost on me as I was originally typing that. He did clarify that they've had those 5k-6k mile vehicles looking especially fresh afterwards, for a bit more context there.

This is the delayed gratification thread, basically. Everyone feels that pain! At least you'll have the peace of mind once you get it back- please post impressions of the work if you don't mind!

Oh nice! Will wave to the Model 3's on my 9/8 drop off. John mentioned they sometimes apply PPF on some driven 5-6k miles, after I mentioned how I just took delivery and was a little worried about getting unlucky between now and then but he didn't seem to think it'd be a problem. Car is way...

Hah, small world I guess. I just finished booking an appointment (Sept. 8th, so far away, please stay away birds/rocks) for a complete PPF and some kind of window tinting (unclear what we'll get and what percentage to get). Was dealing with John on the phone who was nice and professional, and...

Appreciate the post! I guess I need to figure out how much to protect (and how I want to protect it, PPF/ceramic coating/wrap/etc) as I understand there's a lot of options there. Since you're also in NoVA, do you recommend anywhere I should look at for this work? I've seen Exotic Vehicle...

Hah, that's awesome. I have been eyeing the speed limit part of the UI frequently and noticing that on any stoplight or turn onto a new road I am pretty much instantaneously there. I'm not used to getting attention in a car, and now I feel like there are many eyeballs on us despite the fact...

Congrats man! How do you feel about the car so far? Looks rad!

Thanks ! Hopefully that EDD holds or it arrives sooner!

Thank you! It's sick. I woke up to feed the dog (well, the dog woke up to wake me up) and am just sitting here excited to go drive the thing. Likewise am excited for folks in here also waiting on having that same feeling. I'm still amazed how little I think of Tesla as a company compared to...

Success! They literally parked it in the driveway and were getting into an Uber by the time we noticed and were heading outside to (not) talk to the delivery person (like they didn't even explain that you'd need the app, or that the keycards are positioned inside of the vehicle). Gave the car...

Hah, even though I am now *reasonably confident* that a vehicle is going to be delivered to my home within the next hour or two, my delivery appointment on my reservation page disappeared and EDD is back, saying July 31 to Aug 03. EDD is the best y'all!

Got a response already (forget about 1.9 0-60, this is now the most meaningful Tesla WR) saying they'd have their next available driver bring it over. Glad I asked!

Six hours later, still waiting. Just e-mailed my SA plus the three random Tesla employees on yesterday's "it'll be there by 8 p.m." (despite delivery window today being 10 a.m. to noon) e-mail asking if they had an ETA. Not like we're doing anything today aside from this, but c'mon!

Nice! Four hours later, still waiting!

On one hand, nice that you got the robocall, on the other, unfortunate that when they finally reply it's a message like that. At least it's soon! We're past the delivery window here (10-12) and crickets so far. So who knows? Saved a lost dog though, so at least today's been eventful. I'd...

Hah, well I'm really hoping Sunday is indeed the day for you. I'm shocked I got a response and confirmation! Figured my robocall was going to be it. See if you get one of those tomorrow morning (mine was around 9 a.m. today, I think?). Someone else from McLean just e-mailed saying "you...

Heck yeah, this is a thread for coping and hyping one another up.

SA confirmed the vehicle arrived at their location, so good to go for tomorrow morning. Extremely excited! Need to tire myself out so I can pass out tonight, like a child on Christmas.

For sure, I'm surprised too. I appreciate that by and large in here and on these forums people can speak to the real merits of these vehicles but call out the company for its BS- I expected there to be a lot more kool-aid drinking but am glad that hasn't been my experience on here (I see more...

I am still in awe how inconsistent Tesla is with customer service experience, where you can randomly have a positive experience like this and every employee seems empowered to tell you something different than every other employee (including their CEO). Glad you got some good news!

Got a robocall (of course) confirming tomorrow's delivery window. 🤞

Will do! Not sure where I'll land on which software updates to run with, but will try to remember to post some impressions once I get the opportunity to test. Perfect, thank you!

Interested to hear other "vision only" Tesla owners impressions with autopilot, as this is worrisome (about to take delivery on a "vision only" vehicle here).

Good stuff! Did someone contact you letting you know it was good to go? Delivery scheduled for Saturday morning here and I'm still doubtful it'll actually happen! Obviously hope to be wrong!
