I live in Walnut Creek CA. I always see at least 2 every time I head into downtown or to the BART station. Yesterday I saw 6 on my way to BART to drop off house guests at the train station. This area is inundated with Teslas since the Fremont plant is relatively close by.
Is anyone else using the new version 9 software? It seems like it’s been a little buggy for me so far, especially compared to the nearly flawless performance of the prior version (I had to reboot a couple of times to get the radio to play). Most annoying is the animation of the surrounding vehicles, which jump around and even look like they’re hitting my car. I don’t have the enhanced autopilot (I did enjoy the 2 week trial, but chose not to fork over $6k), but I’d be truly afraid of how the car might react to its perceived traffic if I did.
Mine is glitchy too. Music doesn’t connect when I get into the car. Says “no connectivity” and then “loading error”. I am actually finding the animated cars helpful as I was uncomfortable with the blind spot issue.
I let DH drive it last night (short distance home from where we were) and DS and family just arrived for a visit. Since it was supposed to be his car, I’ll let him take it when they visit friends Sunday. I am also seeing
more around, burners still not that frequent and we wave as we pass.
I’m getting the “no connectivity” and “loading error” messages as well. I’m hoping for an update soon.
Someone who works in my building for a different company tracked me down as a Model 3 owner. He’s taking delivery next month on an AWD Performance Model 3 and wanted to sell me the stock tires he won’t need since he’s going to buy winter tires just after taking delivery. I’m not sure why I’d buy a set of new tires to store in my house, just to have no way of getting them to an auto shop if/when I ever need them.
neigh, autocorrect above. Should stay “but sill infrequent so we wave as we pass”.
When in doubt, reboot. Press down both scroll wheels with foot firmly on brake. Video screen will go black, and then reboot.
AAAAggghhh the autocorrect strikes again!
Unfortunate, but confusing since it should have been easy to catch anyone driving off with a Tesla. Just check your phone to see exactly where the car is!
Saw that on another site today! I carry my extra key cards in a RFID sleeve. When will the S and X go to a phone app key?
No apps for me please. 
Key fob stored in a pouch is no big deal.
Phone app is nifty.
I don’t do apps.
Speaking of apps … they are nifty until they are not. Our first experience with Tesla service via app gets two giant thumbs down. One of the doors began to jam, and Mr. tried to schedule a service via the infamous app (because you can’t call them). November 6 for a safety issue? Cause you need doors to get out of the car! That was a week ago! So he drove to the service center where they told him that a part needs to be ordered. Fine… no one called him in a week! So he went there again (luckily, it is just a few miles from us). They told him that a tech will come to his workplace and do the repair onsite. Nope… no one showed up. Stay tuned… he is going there again. What a sharp contrast with Lexus where the customer was treated like royalty and given a loaner no questions asked until the problem is solved. Tesla needs to train their techs and service reps a bit better… steal a few from Toyota.
You can also schedule online thru your computer. Go to Tesla.com, log in, click on the pic of your car and it will then show a tab to ‘Schedule Service’. That is particularly helpful if you want to check appointment times for different SC locations. Perhaps the one down your street is booked all week, but the one 10 miles farther away is available tomorrow?
fwiw: We’ve had great success with the mobile service when they came to the house. Used 2x and worked well. (In SoCal.)
Sounds like a bigger problem than the app!
App is an enabler. It is a three/fold issue: lack of training, badly executed Six Sigma, and the fact that they are trying to replace human touch with an app for convenience and cost savings, and this far, it is a fail when a real issue arises. Mr. will be taking this higher up the chain.
No problem scheduling a regular service online at Toyota. But they also have a real human who picks up the calls and does a triage.
I told Mr. to try to call their roadside assistance just to see if a human will pick up.
The website may be a separate issue. My key app doesn’t have an appointment option. I text the local shop.
