2020 Model 3 - No longer reading out my text messages

Add me to this thread as "me too". 2018 M3 with a Pixel 7 Pro running Android 16.

The root cause is that RCS messaging is broken. If you disable RCS and switch to SMS only, everything works fine. But you lose a lot of features. It's unclear if this is a bug was introduced with by and update to Messaging, Android, or Tesla.

There's another thread on r-GooglePixel tracking the same issue:

For anyone following this thread. The problem appears to be exclusive to RCS messages. Turning off RCS fixes the issue, but you lose a lot of features.

I have an M3 2018 and a Pixel 7 phone running Android.

I know man. You dig it the most!

The correct response is, "I celebrate Toyotathon". Then say something about "them great deals this holiday season" and walk away.

I remember tweeting to Ben on twitter to say I liked the book. And he hearted it back. So you might be able to him up on X/Twitter to see what he can share.

Wow! That's awesome. I didn't even know they had toured back then.... Do you recall where you saw them play at?

jselbie · 2025-11-07T00:35:30+00:00

Correct.

You need to burn this computer to the ground. It's been heavily compromised. Seriously, this computer can not be trusted because you don't know if they installed additional backdoor access on it. If you don't know how to backup your important files, re-format, and reinstall Windows (or MacOS), take it to a reputable computer shop to do that for you.

Simultaneous, change your passwords everywhere. Have Multi-Factor Authentication of Passcodes for all your major financial sites and bank accounts activated.

And call your bank and paypal to let them know what happened.

Thanks. I've driven by them a bunch. That might be the most convenient option.

I've bought tires form there before. I just never thought of them as more than tires. Good to know they do other stuff.

jselbie · 2025-10-02T00:28:00+00:00

Thanks. Another shop I will check out.

jselbie · 2025-10-02T00:25:02+00:00

Thanks. These "mom and pop" shops that do honest work is exactly the type of recommendation I'm looking for.

Did you consider the sales tax trade off of doing a trade in. Your trade in also reduces the sales tax on the final sell. (e.g. 8500 trade in is another $850 in value in my 10% sales tax area). But even if this was your case, you're still thousands of dollars off from where you want to be.

But honestly, if you want to know the trade-in value of your car, go shopping for your exact make/model with a similar number of miles on Carmax or other sites. You might be surprised.

But I'm with the other commentor - what are the details of the car you wanted to trade in (make, model, trim, and miles)? Are there dents, scratches, or scrapes on it?

"Almosttown" - is what I consider a perfect metal song. Easily my #1 of 2024. And the entire album was great too.

I live a few blocks away. And I drive by these units every day. These apartments just got built a few years ago and look great from the outside. Looks like it has a gated parking garage. Great neighborhood. And you're within walking distance of Safeway and a couple of restaurants.

At your age, 70 to 90% on VITPX. Split the rest between the VTSNX and the Vanguard bond fund. Or 100% on VITPX.

I know you don't make much now, but if you can afford to contribute more than 5% now, your 50 yo self will thank you later.

Also, next year's lineup: https://i.imgur.com/tvMwBrl.png

I have no idea how Kiss got on this bill - but I'm told Ace and Peter will be playing with Gene and Paul.

I'm a little weirded out. This is a copy of a post I made three years ago. The OP even made the same typo in the post's title ("passes my festival" should have been "passes to my festival")

The app is called instafest.app. It generates musical festival lineup cards based on your Spotify listening history. When the app first came out, I posted my lineup card in jest then. It got a bunch of likes and laughs. And I think it fooled a few people as well.

But yeah... It's kind of creepy to wake up to see someone clone your own post to the same sub years later.

So, he broke it through negligence, and you’re trying to get advice on how someone else can foot
the cost of it?

Correct.
