Given it is March and I saw a vast number of M3s waiting to be delivered when I collected mine last week, I'm guessing there are now a lot of new Tesla owners with questions great and small. Rather than start a thread for each one, I thought I would post a list here and ask more experienced forum members for any answers they can contribute. Feel free to extend the list, and thanks in advance for any help!
Tesla questions so far:
Tesla questions so far:
- The car will not connect to wifi from 4 metres away, even though my iPhone links easily from the same position. Is it possible there is a wifi fault?
- Show battery % and range simultaneously - is it possible?
- Pre-heating makes a very, very noisy racket - is this normal?
- Air temp turns cold after about 10 minutes of driving. Can be really cold if it is cold outside, much colder than the set value. Could there be a problem with the heat exchanger?
- Adding 2nd driver - do they need a separate Tesla account? Will their phone identify their own profile to the car?
- Is it possible to automatically unlock the charge port when unlocking the car (so charging cable can be removed before driving away) rather than fiddle with the phone app to do it?
- Tesla “T” has disappeared from the top of the screen with the update. Not mentioned in the release notes. Where has the manual gone, for example?
- I accidentally left my phone in the car the other day and only remembered as I was walking away, because the car did not automatically lock. If the phone is left in the car, does it mean anyone can drive it away or does the car lock after being empty for a time?
- Is it possible to turn off and on the sat nav voice as needed? I have tried using the button on the steering wheel, but that turns on the radio instead. When I turn off the radio sound, the sat nav sound comes back
- Is it possible to change font size on screen. I can't be putting on my reading glasses every time I want to check something, and it is just a tiny bit too small to read easily
- Some mud flaps were provided in the boot, along with the cables and the floor mats. What am I meant to do with them? I should have thought they would be installed as part of pre-delivery (and the floor mats!)
