  • Durability/exchange display

    What does it look like with the M3 display with the durability? Has anyone ever got a mechanical capputt or scratched the surface? What does a replacement cost and how quickly is something like that exchanged in an emergency? The background to my question is how the fact of absolute concentration of operation on this display affects maintenance and longevity. I have experienced smartphones whose displays looked absolutely scratch-free and top after several years at “service users” others in turn got jumps and scratches very quickly. What happens in the event of a complete failure of the display, can you still move the car? The fact that by concentrating on the display no other switches etc. can lock and fail, is quite an advantage to consider.

  • Sound generator/outdoor speakers (AVAS)

  • Differences in chassis and tires LR vs. performance

    Hello all, I have had a Model 3 performance for the test drive. To be honest, this is too tight from the chassis and partly too uncomfortable on my way to work. Are there any differences between LR vs. performance in the chassis? I mean the seller said that. What do 18″ on the LR compared to the 19″? Does anyone have experience from real life possibly even over many km? Thank you! Bernd

  • Detector alarm system

    I just had a walk on a forest and had the car standing in a parking lot. I had no net there and when I came back I had the message that the vehicle alarm was triggered. Do you know exactly what triggers the alarm? Did someone touch the car or could it have been a false alarm? According to Tesla, when trying to open a locked door. Sentry was unfortunately out. A colleague with Model X thinks he constantly had false alarms and would already not be dana anymore. I don’t know.

  • Experience with lowering springs or coil suspension

    Hello, I would like to have my Model 3 SR+ a little deeper. However, it should still remain normally mobile. Therefore, I fluctuate between lowering springs or coiled suspension. Whereby the coiled suspension offers even more possibilities. Therefore, first of all some questions about this. 1. Are the serial dampers sufficient, to whom one installs e.g. ST lowering springs? Is the driving comfort still sufficient, since I was quite hard with H&R in the Audi at the time? Are there already reports m it the springs in the Tesla? 2. If coiled suspension, which is recommended, ST XA or KW V3 ? The KW can be adjusted in pressure and tension stage, the ST only in the pressure stage. Does this bring so many advantages? VG Michael

  • Model 3 does not lock (connected with other effects)

    For a few days I noticed that my M3P didn’t always lock cleanly. Today I had this many times (except for one exception, where it has locked correctly – with all the connected processes). I describe what happens (or not). I always use the iPone as a key, which has worked so well so far. With removal from the car the car locks, the mirrors fold in, the turn signals confirm briefly and the screen goes off. Now the car does not lock by removing n. If I then lock up via the app, it only locks, however, regardless of the distance (i.e. cell phone keys connected or not). The screen stays on and the mirrors don’t collapse. After quite a long time, the screen goes off, the mirrors stay outside. I tried a reset several times. Once it worked properly in between today, regardless of a reset, then no more. Does anyone know that? SW Version 2021.12.2 (since 7.4.21)

  • Contact photos, synchronization

    Hello together, I have mostly connected my iPhone via Bluetooth. The contacts and call lists are also displayed industriously synchronized. Two questions: 1. The vehicle also has a contact memory. Is there a way to synchronize this “offline” memory, or can one really only store contacts that one has manually registered all? 2. Many of my contacts on the mobile phone have saved a contact image. However, this is only with currently one person (all I have Not checked) also in the display of the Spacetourer at Bluetooth contact or in the call list. All others are not displayed. Also with this one contact it has been displayed very rarely so far. Since today I have a new telematics device (see https://www.motor-talk.de/…/…-neue-navdab-generation-t6347446.html). Since now here already looks quite different, I checked the pictures immediately: also here this one picture works immediately – the others do not. => How Is this with you? Are pictures displayed? What requirements does the image have to meet? Is there a question of resolution?!

  • New Auris

    Hello! I just came from my friend from the Auris premiere. My opinion on the new Auris: From the outside quite ok. Not excessive but ok. Looked worse on the pictures in the net. From the inside he is no longer my taste. The materials look cheap and the center console does not work at all. The air outlets in the middle only small slits. Ne ne ne ne ne meines. Then personally I lack the higher shift stick. That made up the Auris. Was just different. eraum has become bigger and the seats are also comfortable. But unfortunately not at all from the outside. I think he will surely find his buyers. Toyota has unfortunately lost me as a customer. I will look around for alternatives.

  • Winter fit?

    Think about buying an Auris hybrid. I’m worried about the temperature resistance of the nickel-metal-hydride battery (NiMh battery) in winter: According to Wikipedia you can’t operate NiMh below 0°C; under -20°C the battery becomes scrap, even if no electricity flows. I’m not clear about any restrictions in the summer. Have an unheated garage in a flat garage group, located from the house near Vienna. Drive sometimes for e.g. a week in a higher mountain valley z for ski holidays, where the car is not started all week and is standing outdoors. Would be grateful for relevant experiences or who can make statements? Greetings Technikfan
