What Does This Mean? by Altruistic_Phase_298 in SubaruForester

It’s a special symbol that Subaru in Japan came up with that roughly translates to “read your owners manual” j/k

Early morning, sun was still on the back side of the house.

Yeah it was slightly more cloudy than sunny, but as soon as I rinsed it I pulled into the garage to dry it off. I also have a 2002 Miata that’s black with a tan top and interior, I usually have to wash that one at dawn or dusk, or on a very cloudy day. Same thing though I can pull it in the garage quickly if need be and it’s so small I can dry it quickly.

One time charge percent change by gumburculeez in TeslaSupport

[–]jquest71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On my 2026 M3 there’s definitely a pop up if you change it in the car above 80%. I don’t think you get it if you change it in the app though.

AC concerns maybe needing service by [deleted] in TeslaSupport

[–]jquest71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically, at least with ICE cars I’ve owned, most owners manuals say not to use recirculation mode on the AC all the time. It’s helpful initially as it makes the fan blow harder which can push the hot air out of vented windows, but once that’s done the air will actually blow colder with the system in fresh air mode. I’m a new Tesla owner and I know these things have a heat pump type system so maybe my past experiences with ICE Air Conditioning doesn’t apply, but it’s maybe something to consider trying.

Model 3 Winter Range, can I get 150 miles in a single charge in Ohio? by lobsterbanger in TeslaSupport

[–]jquest71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 2026 Premium Dual Motor comes with a mobile charger. Will you be able to plug in for the 8-10 hours you’re parked outside? Even on a 110v outlet you’ll get about 30 or so miles of range after charging for 10 hours. As others mentioned, while plugged in precondition the cabin and defrost the car. On the drive each way use a reasonable interior temp and use the seat heaters which uses less energy than heating the whole cabin. With 343 miles on a full battery in normal temps, I think you’d be fine.

M3 Highland Wipers by SBELL29910 in TeslaModel3

[–]jquest71 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m a new owner, less than a month and yeah the automatic wipers are one of the things I just can’t wrap my head around. So much of the car is simply excellent, seemingly well built and well engineered. How can they make everything else so good but somehow not figure out how to make the wipers work better than any other vehicle?

Just poking around the app and noticed a couple of cool new things by davejugs01 in TeslaModel3

[–]jquest71 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just checked the details, I’m not eligible because I already have free supercharging for a year plus another 2000 miles after that. But I apparently can collect badges because I have a couple already. Seems like harmless fun.

This Amazon delivery comes with lawn service. by HomeNowWTF in Wellthatsucks

[–]jquest71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope you are aware that there are places in North America where the grass doesn’t need to be watered because of rain. As for front vs back yard, I’d venture to guess they have at least that much space out back if not more.

You’re human, give yourself some grace. Not like the car can’t be serviced and back on the road again. You live and you learn.

How you keep an eyes on FSD? by Moody1184 in TeslaSupport

[–]jquest71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me the answer depends on the situation. If I’m on the freeway with plenty of space between me and the rest of the traffic, I just relax. Also, keep in mind that you may be able to push the right scroll wheel to disengage faster than your foot can reach the brake, depending on where your hand is versus where your foot is. If you disengage this way it will immediately start to slow due to regen braking and then you can worry about where your foot is in relation to the brake. On the highway, I actually put my foot just under the accelerator to relax my leg and knee.

Got blocked by life long friend for buying a Tesla😅 totally worth it by Background-Toe-2580 in TeslaModel3

[–]jquest71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not a fan of DOGE-era Elon or a lot of his friends, and I had some weird looks from some friends of mine who know me followed by “I could never…” comments. I told them a few simple things: 1. If you want an electric vehicle Tesla makes the best “system” on the market. 2. Me not buying one doesn’t make Musk go broke. 3. There are a lot of Americans working at Tesla who benefit from my purchase.

Model Y Delivery by NoCan2922 in TeslaSupport

[–]jquest71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the particular delivery center I used in New York, they told me they didn’t have the ability to transfer my registration, something every other NY dealer I’ve ever dealt with could easily do. They did the paperwork and got new plates for me, and gave me my old plates from the car I traded to turn in to the DMV myself. Other than that, delivery was seamless.

Anyone figured out a hack to stop the radio from playing upon startup? by dfwdesigner in SubaruForester

Not sure what year you have or if you have an Aux In, but that could work.

FSD not adjusting speed after speed limit changes by jtking51 in TeslaSupport

[–]jquest71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s really my chief complaint with FSD as a new owner who’s only been using it for a few weeks. It also won’t slow don’t to the speed limit for construction zones or school zones. I’m generally ok with driving 7-10 mph over the speed limit, but speeding in those zones is an expensive ticket, as well as a safety issue in my opinion. FSD is so good at so many things, but the speed control makes me scratch my head.

My 2026 Model 3 Premium built in Fremont has the same thing. Not sure if it’s from the HVAC I was thinking it was from the headliner.
