No summons in the app No summons in the app

I purchased a 2024 M3RWD on Wednesday. New purchases come with a 30 day trial of premium connectivity and FSD supervised. I had both of them by subscription on my 2019 TM3. For some reason the summons command isn't showing up on the Tesla app for the 2024. I've checked for upgrades and deleted and reloaded the app several times. Still no summons. I remember using summons during the 30 day trial back in June on my old TM3. Did they change something and not include summons on the 30 day trial now? I'm also not getting the upgraded colored map that comes with premium connectivity. Is anyone else having or had this problem? Any solutions? I have mobile service coming on Monday to install the garage link equipment. I'll ask him about it too.


Windshield Replacement - Want to drive the vehicle for 1 hour after new windshield installed?! Windshield Replacement - Want to drive the vehicle for 1 hour after new windshield installed?!

So Speedy Glass just informed me that they want to drive the car for an hour after the windshield is installed on my Model 3. "For calibration reasons.

However, I got the windshield repaired last year at a different location and they just let it sit for an hour to let the glue cure and gave it back to me. Then I had the calibration notification for the first few bits of driving. Warning that autopilot wont work.

Does this seem correct to anyone? Driving for an hour is a little insane in my opinion.






Delivery Checklist for Used M3P Delivery Checklist for Used M3P

After a month of evaluating EV options and painful soul searching I decided to go with a used M3P as my first foray into electric commuting. My top contenders were the usual suspects (Model 3, Mach-e, ev6, etc). I found positives about virtually all of them, but in this insane market for used EVs I couldn't get over the fact that a 2022 Model 3 has significantly more years of production improvements under its belt as an electric model. Basically all the other options used would mean getting a year 1 or year 2 vehicle.

Anyway, since the best deal I found was actually from Tesla's website I'm curious if there's a solid list anywhere of what to check for on delivery day. It appears to be a different experience than the traditional dealership drive off. Any suggestions of what to check for or think about?



Cleaning the Touchscreens Cleaning the Touchscreens

What do you all use to clean your touchscreen(s)?

Copy/paste directly from the owner's guide:

Front and Rear Touchscreens

Clean the touchscreen(s) using a soft lint-free cloth specifically designed to clean monitors and displays. Do not use cleaners (such as a glass cleaner) or alcohol-based gel products (such as hand sanitizer) and do not use a wet wipe or a dry statically-charged cloth (such as a recently washed microfiber). To wipe the front touchscreen without activating buttons and changing settings, you can enable Screen Clean Mode. Touch Controls > Display > Screen Clean Mode. The display darkens to make it easy to see dust and smudges. To exit Screen Clean Mode, press and hold HOLD TO EXIT.

I'm not exactly sure what type of cloth is meant by this. Is this just like any cleaning cloth for glasses? When I look online using Tesla's description, all the results are microfiber, which the manual says not to use.


I'm going to be looking at a 2019 LR in a few days to buy it second hand and have some questions I'm going to be looking at a 2019 LR in a few days to buy it second hand and have some questions

I've never even been inside a Tesla before, but I'm interested in going electric so I'm looking at several cars around my area (Switzerland). But I have some doubts about what I should look for. The obvious thing is the battery, of course, but is it possible to see it approximate state quickly during a visit to check the car? Other things I should look? Thanks in advance.







M3 - Squeaking noise from back wheels M3 - Squeaking noise from back wheels

Has anyone else experienced low sounding noises from back wheels of M3 RWD 2022? It started about 3 weeks ago for me when placing the car in park. But also when driving slowly (probably more noticeable at low speeds with less noise) and sometimes going over bumps. Sounds like a squeak, nothing loud or banging. Not sure what to do or how to go about getting it looked into. Never made a service appt for Tesla yet. With an ICE I would bring it to my mechanic. Thanks


Model 3 Long-range/Long-range AWD questions Model 3 Long-range/Long-range AWD questions

Hey all! So I just purchased another Kia Stinger in October (first one totaled due to hail storm and this used Scorpion package was a solid deal). However, with the Kia Blus challenges going on, insurance has gone up drastically and it’s a bit annoying that it seems to continue to go up so may change already

That brings me to the 1.99% deal currently going on with Tesla. Can get a brand new car and actually come out ahead on monthly costs after just 1 tank of gas

Can anyone help fill me in on monthly costs of these cars, tire rotation (can it be done), is AWD really needed in Texas or is that sunroof going to just bake the inside of my car in the heat? How’s the electric bill? Any extra I didn’t think of? Thanks for any extra insight!




2018 M3 with dead HV battery. Need feedback. 2018 M3 with dead HV battery. Need feedback.

I have a 2018 model three with 113,000 miles on it. High voltage battery died a couple weeks ago. The first quote I received from my local service center was for $11,000 using a refurbished mid range battery ($8500). I was obviously very upset when this happened and I canceled my initial service appointment to give myself the weekend to think about it. I didn’t realize this estimate would vanish and would have to start over when I went back three days later to see about getting the work done. We had to start over with the estimate and the new estimate came out to $15,000 using a refurbished long range battery that is software limited ($10,750). When I went into discuss the higher estimate, they said that the mid range battery they initially quoted me for was no longer being manufactured (which didn’t make sense to me since it was a refurbished battery) but that they would look into this and try to come up with some thing to help me out. Today I got my third estimate with the grand total of $22,000! This estimate seem to include an all-wheel-drive phase 1 battery (not sure what that means to be honest but cost of this battery $15,750). I don’t know, I feel like I’m being jerked around by service department with this latest estimate. Even after the second $15,000 quote the service guy basically told me that money would probably best be used towards a new vehicle. I still have seven months of payments left to pay this car off and not sure what I should do. Should I try a different service station? Should attempt to speak with a higher up in management? Just feeling super disappointed, not only with the battery dying, but how the price for trying to get it fixed keeps going up and up. Any feedback with any of this would be greatly appreciated.


Homelink hiding my garages Homelink hiding my garages

I live in a condo and have two gates to pass through. Homelink handled this perfectly for years.

It now hides garages if it doesn’t think it’s near, which is an incredibly stupid feature to begin with. However, I’ve been dealing with the mildly infuriating task of digging into my pocket to hit the gate fob.

Now that I have a second car, I want to leave the gate fob in my other car(non Tesla), it’s a 90s car and doesn’t have the programmable garage buttons.

Is Homelink hiding garages a bug? How do I get it to display all?


New Ultra-Wideband on M3 Highland New Ultra-Wideband on M3 Highland

Hi everyone, just a quick question about the Ultra-Wideband phone key now. I realised that while I was organising the frunk, my son went to open the passenger door but couldn't open it since it was apparently locked. I checked my tesla app and it said phone key was connected however, is this because of the new UWB technology providing a much more precise location and not unlocking the car, even if phone key is very close? I do not have driver side unlock enabled.



2024 M3P

2024 M3P

I've had it for a week and it's incredible.

Though my only complaint, and it's a big one, is with the damn turn signal buttons. I don't mind not having stalks but the damn buttons don't work half of the time, and I'm not hitting them in the wrong spot, they simply get stuck and you can't do anything except twiddle around with it until it gets unstuck and by then it's too late. I also especially hate it when I hit the button and the wrong turn signal comes on... I have no idea how this made it past QA but it's absolutely unacceptable and not safe at all!
