    Supercharger - Tacoma, WA - S. 40th St. (under construction Feb 2024, 12 V3 stalls)

    It's refreshing to see the extra slack end of a ratchet strap tied up properly.

    Tail Light Retrofit- AMBER turn signal

    MASTER THREAD: Auto Wiper functionality, complaints, praise, etc.

    I wonder if Tesla is still money ahead on the manhours required trying to make the software for cameras to realize it's raining vs just using a rain sensor. I just want them to work as well as the ones in my truck, and work when it's dark.

    Tail Light Retrofit- AMBER turn signal

    Anyone know what type of hardware/software is involved for coding changes? I'm curious because I have made changes like this before on other vehicles.

    2023 Holiday Update Imminent

    Received holiday update 2023.44.30.1 on Saturday. Initially I was hesitant about updating, but in about 30 miles of AP travel on the freeway I haven't noticed any difference in nags, still need to try it on some 2 lane roads. The 3d visuals for parking are ok, much better than the prior squiggly...

    2023 Holiday Update Imminent

    I've used this for several years, unfortunately the driver mirror on my model 3 doesn't adjust out far enough for my seating position. I've got a euro-spec mirror on order to hopefully solve this.

    2022 Model 3 RWD Review (graduating from a Camry)

    $50 for a used tire. I had it mounted on my rim for $20 at a local tire shop. The modern spare kit comes with everything needed to change a flat. (jack, wrench, wheel w/tire) There are numerous reviews on Youtube,

    Wow - When you buy tires from Tesla, you get no coverage?

    I've had a Continental tire replaced free under warranty at Discount Tire before. Continental will replace unrepairable tires at no cost up to a certain amount of wear. I didn't buy the optional coverage.

    2022 Model 3 RWD Review (graduating from a Camry)

    You mentioned a "donut" spare, I would highly recommend a Modern spare if you are taking trips anywhere far from home/civilization. I found one on ebay about 2 months ago. Sure enough 3 weeks later I get an almost instant flat tire (spade bit through the middle of the tire and out the...

    Does everyone use Time of Use Electricity rates?

    Good god, these rates make me glad I live in the PNW. Static rate of 8.5 cents. But I have friends in other areas who pay 3 cents.

    Interior facing dash camera recommendations

    I use a vantrue N2 pro that I've used since 2019, very dependable. Cost about $150. It has a front and rear facing camera in 1 unit. I know I can use only the front camera or both but I'm not sure if it has the option to use only the rear.

    [Feature Request] - Wipers On : Lights On?

    This is one of the things that annoys me about my M3. At least give me a toggle so I have the option to have headlights with wipers. My RAM pickup has this option in the UI.

    Cadillac Escalade electric: Tesla Killer!

    Well considering the base work truck model of the Silverado EV is $77k, I would assume this would end up closer to $130-140k, maybe more?

    Window Tinting in Seattle area

    I had a good experience with Summit Window Tinting near Tacoma. They carry Xpel films. I had 20% on the sides and back, with the full back window in 1 piece. Some shops I checked with wouldn't do the full back in 1 piece for some reason (lack of skill?). I also had 50% on the windshield...

    Sales tax rate different among different Seattle area SCs

    I was in the same situation, but Tesla sent me a check refunding what I thought was the RTA tax. A little over $500. I register my vehicles in a non-RTA area.

    2023 Model 3 without USS and proximity functionality [park assist / summon not available]

    near useless? It IS useless most days in the winter. It makes me miss my VW golf which had the best implementation of a rear camera I have seen. The camera was hidden behind a VW badge that would flip open when the car was put in reverse. Camera lens never got wet or dirty.

    Supercharger - Tacoma, WA (LIVE Mar 2023, 12 V3 stalls)

    I was also perplexed by this location choice. Maybe the mall wanted significantly more $ to lease the parking lot space? That's all I can think of.

    GAP insurance suggestions?

    I believe I do. I didn't put much down. I decided to start getting some insurance quotes from providers that offer GAP.

    GAP insurance suggestions?

    I'm just looking for some leads on GAP insurance. I have a long term loan and have put 7500 miles on my model 3 since purchase at the end of October '22. My lender doesn't offer it, and my insurance company doesn't either (state farm).

    You can turn regen completely off by using Brake burnishing mode in the service menu. I used this to bed my brakes when I first took delivery of my M3.

    2023 Model 3 without USS and proximity functionality [park assist / summon not available]

    I don't know if it's because my car has the newer cameras, but I haven't had any phantom braking yet. With all the talk I would have expected it to surface by now. Granted I only have about 2000 miles on mine so far, but 90% or more of my driving is on autopilot.
