Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

For those who no longer have the option to disable Chime It appears that you can actually mute the warning for the whole journey but you need to do this for new drive cycles.

I stopped updating a version before that 3 strikes version came out, but have still installed the camera cover anyway as I’m sure at some stage down the line it will need an update, or if Tesla ever get their hands on it they’ll 100% update it, even if I insist they don’t…

I keep my car up to date with the latest software.

I like the recent updates, however I don't use the autopilot unless occasionally when on motorway. I get the odd collision red warning when on rural roads, usually when a larger vehicle looks likely to pull out (or has half pulled out from a junction). But have yet to get the anchors thrown out..

One should only have to do it once and that should then be the preferred default setting.

When I set my phone alarm, I set it up for the weekdays same time every morning and I don’t have to do that every night before I go to bed. Same with my car charger. I set it once for the times I want and if I want to interrupt that new default setting, I can take action to override or change it. I don’t need to do it every time.

It might sound ridiculous to complain about only having to do it once per drive cycle, but the point is that it shouldn’t be necessary at all. It’s just more stupid regulations. I find it very annoying that I have to accept or reject.

It’s the same cràp when I start my Leaf, it asks every single time for me to accept or reject telematics before I can access the infotainment system. We have the same nonsense on websites where we have to manually deselect cookies rather than it just being default preferences. When does one more button become too much?

iirc if Sentry is on then the Alarm controls grey out.

So if sentry is on can u not control the alarm on/off......what if I go on thd ferry with sentry on can I not turn the alarm off?

Just noticed today that since 2024.26.7 update we now have Air Quality Index displayed. I am probably a simple creature, but I love info like that..😊

Software updates seem to have made the traction warning now with volume and heavier correction. I know it's dumb, but on an open empty road it's sometimes fun to kick out the rear wheels a wee bit on the RWD on the odd turn.

The only negative I can think of is that in most cars with auto tailgate you can open it by using a button on the key or kicking your foot under the car. I assume with the Tesla you would still need to press the button on the boot in order for it to open? Not ideal if your hands are full

Hi guys, potentially looking at 2nd hand model 3s.

Hoping for a LR AWD, but would settle for a rwd with the 60kwh (57,5 usable?) lfp battery version. Do you know roughly when did that come to place? Think late 2021?

Was the previous version to that the 52,5kw/h usable LFP? Did that come with heat pump?

Thank you in advance, finding hard to get the exact timelines so I know then what exactly I'm looking at...

this will sort you out.
