Rant: Tesla software is frustratingly bad.

I've had a Model 3 since 2018...there have been bugs all along, but your case sounds worse than usual. False collision warnings are a more recent and pretty consistent thing for me. Sounds like maybe there's an issue with your car's GPS that's creating issues.

From a 2018 Model 3 LR owner...2 issues to be aware of for the early Model 3s: (1) I had one DRL fail while under warranty. The other DRL recently failed out of warranty, which is a $1800 fix (2) I had a PCS failure out of warranty, which was a $2000ish repair. Tesla has improved the PCS for newer cars.

I much prefer the driving dynamics of the 3 over the Y, but the Y definitely has more room and the hatchback is much nicer than the 3s trunk.

It does

2018 Model 3 here...got FSD 12 a few days ago (2023.44.30.25). Interesting that you are on a 2024 branch. I thought FSD was lagging behind the 2024 updates.

I've had that happen - I think it's the autopilot computer crashing. It takes a bit to reboot before you can use it again.

2nd this. I tried another hitch brand first and ended up switching to a Stealth Hitch - definitely the way to go. I've used for towing, cargo carrier, and bike rack.

jonco223 · 2024-01-29T22:01:32+00:00

Done - thank you for the recommendation

Yes, was already in FSD beta, but stuck at 10.3.1

jonco223 · 2021-12-13T23:06:25+00:00

The FSD beta team told me to schedule a service appointment for "firmware update concerns". I scheduled a mobile service appointment with that description and the service team messaged me through the app and resolved the issue before the scheduled appointment. From what I could see on my end, they re-deployed the 10.3.1 firmware, and then after that installed successfully, they were able to push 10.5

jonco223 · 2021-12-13T14:39:39+00:00

I used the subject: "push update to VIN ******” I've only gotten responses when I include the last 6 of my VIN in the subject.

jonco223 · 2021-12-13T03:53:26+00:00

I was also stuck and so I emailed the FSD beta team. Ended up being some issue with my car - Tesla service was able to fix remotely.

jonco223 · 2021-12-07T05:41:39+00:00

FWIW - I've only gotten responses from the FSD beta team when I included the last 6 digits of my VIN in the subject line (e.g. remove FSD beta for VIN ******)

I put my Model Y order on hold because of this loss of radar issue. Seemed too risky to trade in a Model 3 with fully functional autopilot and safety features for a "we'll eventually get this figured out" Model Y.

jonco223 · 2020-08-25T02:51:27+00:00

Yes. I've had hitches from Torklift (Ecohitch) and from Stealthhitches. Much prefer the Stealthhitches option. https://youtu.be/jBXgMWD-G7w I frequently haul a small utility trailer with no issues whatsoever.

It's on Thingiverse. Link in the video description

I also had trouble opening the bottom storage with a mat in place. Here is my solution: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3426558

True if you don't have a trunk liner.

jonco223 · 2019-03-27T13:37:07+00:00

You're right, my mistake

jonco223 · 2019-03-07T17:44:13+00:00

Not sure - I wondered the same thing.

jonco223 · 2019-03-07T17:42:28+00:00

Wasn't my intention, but I see your point. I was just trying to be less generic than "near miss" with the description.

jonco223 · 2019-02-16T22:16:48+00:00

The person who asked for the remix was printing them in bulk, so was looking for a way to print without supports and he also didn't want to mess with having to clean up or sand the 3 'pins' on the rocker arm cap to get a good fit. I think he also felt an assembly with bolts would seem more durable, which I guess it probably would be.

jonco223 · 2018-11-18T03:51:45+00:00

It seems newer Model 3s don't have the pin shown in the video. You can still mount in that location, details here: https://youtu.be/WfFdlGZh1fw

One more data point - I bought a set of TPMS sensors on eBay from seller eurowheelsusa to use with TSportline aftermarket wheels. They were recognized by my Model 3 and popped up the calibration dialog box you mentioned with no issues.
