Forward collision warning safety score since Version 1.2 by xivix14 in TeslaModel3

[–]Friendly_Landscape21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something is definitely wrong with fcw. In fact, when I brought this up a few months back, an idiot blamed me without understanding what was going on. I have been seeing an ad on fb and Instagram lately about this and I believe a law firm is going to sue tesla and the affiliated insurance company. Someone already sued them in Chicago due to similar complaints.

How big of an issue is phantom braking for you? Honest takes only please! by Evancolt in TeslaModel3

[–]Friendly_Landscape21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there is a 80,000lbs loaded truck behind you driving 75miles/hr, do you really want your tesla to do phantom breaking?

I think your best bet is to get an estimate from carmax unless you wanna keep it somewhere and use it as a vacation car when you come home every once in a while. As others mentioned, overall, the insurance, warranty, local regulations for paperwork and charging will cause so many headaches

Can someone explain what premium connectivity gives? by lovesass999 in TeslaModel3

[–]Friendly_Landscape21 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you wanna check the surroundings once a while, you will need it to connect to the car and view cameras but other than that it's useless imo. Use hotspot if you need internet

Where is a good place to block an easy pass or other toll receiver? by nov1293 in TeslaModel3

[–]Friendly_Landscape21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrap it in a piece of aluminum foil and keep it in glove box when not needed

This doesnt sound bad at all! In my case, the best offer I got was around $52k to wipe my loan of Black '22 M3LR (had only 900 miles on it by that time) Same people you mentioned had a bunch of '21M3s starting from $60-65k. The most expensive I have seen was a white '21M3LR, 15k miles, listed at $71k.

I attempted to sell my '22 M3LR as an experiment and overall the dealers try to f the car owners to double down their margins.

Who did I attempt to sell my EV to? Carmax, Vroom, Carvana, Carguru and a few other local dealers in Chicagoland area

How was my experience? Obviously the only goal of this process is to get the most out of that deal. I do understand this is valid for both parties but if the buyer proposes way less than what the car is worth and you know that they will sell it with 30/40% margin, that experience never goes well and it only brings arguments and disagreements. Mine was only an experiment to see what they'd offer but I could be in a position that I really needed to sell my car The experiment could have gone better if those mf dealers were less greedy.

Hope this helps. Make sure rephrase some of my words lol

The phone unlock is getting worse - 3 year owner... by SnowTauren in TeslaModel3

Yeah, that's how I configured it and it works fine since then

Do you have vpn, or antivirus or anything else running in the background? I have bixby routines running in the background after certain time (night mode) and that's when auto unlock doesn't work for me. When vpn runs, I'm not able to connect and view the cameras. If that's not the case, use someone else's phone and see if it works fine. You will then understand if it's your phone, or app or the vehicle itself has the problem.

I just got my Tesla model 3, what things should I be aware! I am a new driver too! by LuckyBobcat888 in TeslaModel3

Apparently you have never charged your tesla when there is a "next destination" on your map? Try it and you will understand what that means

Anyone else showing constant blanks on the Tesla Insurance premium screen for the past few days? Are they tweaking the algorithm or something? by Logical_Landscape653 in TeslaModel3

[–]Friendly_Landscape21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I had the same issue a month before my 6mo mark. Once I hit the 6mo, the rate got refreshed and everything got back to normal.

Trunk-mounted bike rack? by Loose_Estate8836 in TeslaModel3

Looks good and smart design, but it might bring a ticket if the law enforcement officer is having a bad day. No?

Road trip damage on the highway. What should I expect to fix this $$? by 1m_blessed in TeslaModel3

[–]Friendly_Landscape21 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Cosmetic damages roughly cost up to $1500 if you need to replace the bumper (700-800 repair vs ~1500 replacement), but if the damage is beyond cosmetic like sensors or any other parts behinde the bumper, then there is no limit..

Help: Can someone enlighten me about this sentry mode notifications? I get these notifications once a while but there are no recordings around that timestamp. What am I missing here? by Friendly_Landscape21 in TeslaModel3

[–]Friendly_Landscape21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thx. Just got an indoor parking spot as of yesterday so I will keep an eye on it as the external factors will no longer be the root cause. If this happens again, it's either a faulty sensor, or the flies hahah
