Targeted opening of Q1 2024 according to Tesla's Find Us map.

Net als ik zijn er ongetwijfeld op dit forum veel 2019 model 3 rijders die nu al, of de komende maanden zich gaan verdiepen in een opvolger.
Ik ben benieuwd wat waarvoor jullie hebben gekozen of (denken te) gaan kiezen.

Ik heb gereden in de Model 3 Highland SR en de Model y LR en ter vergelijking ook in een Volvo XC40 en Audi Q4-45.
Ik ben sinds 2019 een best tevreden Tesla rijder en heb voorkeur om bij Tesla te blijven.

Ik wil een hogere zit en dan valt de Highland helaas af. Helaas, want een flinke stap vooruit en ik vind het vooral van de achterkant een erg mooie auto.
Model Y LR is op zich al een verbetering tov mijn 2019 Model 3, maar nadeel dat ik het van voren geen schoonheid vind, dat je ze op iedere hoek van de straat ziet en dat ergens het komend jaar de Juniper update gaat komen.

Voordeel van de Model Y is dat mijn werkgever een parelwitte LR erg aantrekkelijk maakt wat qua netto maandelijkse kosten een overslaanbare aanbieding is. Helaas valt er dan niets te configureren. Enige wat ik zou willen toevoegen zijn de 20” velgen, maar met het geld dat ik op zak houd door de ‘standaard LR’ te kiezen kan ik wel ergens een paar knappe zwarte wielen kopen.

Aangezien mijn huidige contract eind juni afloopt, hoopte ik dat ergens rond die tijd Model Y Juniper zou verschijnen, maar na de laatste berichten (US markt) lijkt dat eerder 2025 te worden. (Tenzij men Europa toch eerder gaat voorzien).

Optie zou nog zijn om na inleveren auto een pool auto te gaan rijden en te wachten totdat Juniper beschikbaar komt en dan te bestellen, maar dat kan best nog lang duren.

Benieuwd naar jullie afwegingen en keuze.

Has anyone else got it yet?

I have a genuine, fast Samsung USB 3 flash drive with a few thousand songs on it. Randomly, after the car sleeps, the USB does not show up on the list of available sources. I have to unplug the drive, plug it back in so that the USB source will show up.

I get the same results from two different USB 3 hubs in the glove box, one made by Sabrent, as well as a USB hub in the glove box. It is a whole replacement of the factory 2 USB-C set up that gives me more power for charging laptops.

I realize that the next troubleshooting step is to replace the center console hub with the factory USB-C and plug in directly, but I wanted to know if anyone else has seen this problem. The alternative is to put the music and dashcam/sentry on the same drive. Again, I would like to know if anyone else has seen this problem--USB source sometimes does not show up when the car starts up.

Thanks.

Actually it's not a matter of a game in my opinion.
CO2 produced by ICE cars is responsible of temperature increasing in the world. As temperature increases ice at the North pole melts. As ice melts the salt concentration in the sea decreases. As the salt concentration in the sea decreases the current of the Channel decreases. When the current of the Channel will stop the North side of the Earth will get frozen.
Have you seen the film "The day after tomorrow"?
This film shows what will happen when the current of the Channel will stop. So driving pure electric is useful to save the Earth.

Do you still want to game?

Please post up any rumors or thoughts. I'd love a triple motor Plaid version without the additional size and weight of the S. I think the 3 is their best platform for a performance vehicle as it's Tesla's current most nimble/lightweight/low CoG vehicle.

I didn’t find a tread suitable for this topic, so here I go. I found this page that claims to have a real time update on the Corona Virus. It shows nubers of infected, deaths, and recovered from the virus. It also include a realtime view of the building of the Wuhan hospital. Anyone here familiar with the sours of this live stream? I think this virus might might be a matter to consider as a TSLA shareholder.

I thought I would start a new thread for 2024 on European bound ships carrying Teslas.
The first logical question is why on earth would anyone on a Tesla forum be interested in shipping?

The answer is because once you have ordered your revolutionary expensive new car you enter the Tesla blackout zone - a frustrating period of non-communication from Tesla when you have no idea of what is happening with your order. If you call them, they just say they 'are waiting for a match'. What does that mean? Tesla don't build Model 3/Ys to order - they build whatever they want and then match what has been ordered to what has been produced. This 'matching' usually happens around the time the car is loaded on to a ship. Aha! Shipping has suddenly become interesting!

All Model 3s for Europe are currently made in the Shanghai Gigafactory and are shipped to Zeebrugge in Belgium, Koper in Slovenia or Barcelona in Spain through the Suez Canal in a journey taking about 30 days At the time of writing the Suez Canal is being avoided by most carriers and are routing via the Cape of Good Hope adding about 10 days to the voyage from Shanghai. It also adds about $200-250 to the shipping cost of each vehicle. All Model 3s and Y's for the UK are currently shipped from Shanghai direct to Southampton. UPDATE From Jun 24 MY for the UK will be supplied from Berlin!
Normally Tesla fully charter ships to transport their cars but during 2022/3 they supplemented the charters by using available space on scheduled services too. In 2024 I think we may see a return to whole charters in an effort to keep costs down and keep control of itineraries.


If you are in Auz/NZ, shipments are from Shanghai.
If you are in Dubai, your Model 3 will be loaded on to a ship that heads to Jebel Ali. Currently there is about one shipment per quarter.
If you are in Israel, your Model 3 will be shipped to Ashdod from Shanghai and again currently there is one shipment per quarter. Model Y will come from Berlin but is harder to track. Currently there are no services to Israel.
If you are in Ireland your car is shipped to Dublin via Zeebrugge.

Model S/X are shipped from Baltimore to Zeebrugge.

I mentioned Q1 earlier- this is because Tesla work in quarters with Q1 running from Jan to Mar. The Tesla business model requires as many cars as possible produced in a quarter to be paid for (delivered) in that same quarter.
This means that in Q1 the last ship will leave for Europe no later than around 8 Feb in order to allow for a 36/37 day transit to Southampton/Zeebrugge and then a (hectic) delivery push in the last 10 days or so of March. (A couple of days later if shipping to Barcelona) It is logical then to expect to see a large number of export models for the UK/EU market to be clogging the Chinese production lines in January and early February. This explains the feast or famine nature of Tesla logistics. Elon has promised his staff that he will try to suppress the end of quarter wave. To an extent he has already succeeded in this - by moving all export production to China, the US domestic supply is now much more evenly spread throughout the quarter. Production in Berlin is currently interrupted by delays in components as a result of container ships avoiding Suez, however this should only be a short-term issue.

You may wonder why we in the UK should be interested in shipments to Zeebrugge, Koper and Barcelona? Often it may be difficult to determine whether a ship is heading to Southampton, Zeebrugge, Barcelona or Koper and so it's just as easy to track all the ships to Europe. Often the ship may call at Southampton and then head to Zeebrugge and so it makes sense keep track of everything heading to Europe anyway. It's useful for me if our European readers advise their expected delivery dates and when VINs are allocated as that can help identify where a ship is going.

There is an pretty good spreadsheet populated with the latest (and historical) confirmed shipping information from a variety of sources - Tesla Carriers. It may be more of interest to you later as you become more engrossed in this subject! Did I mention it can become addictive?

Anyway, I think we can expect to see about 13 boatloads to Europe in Q1.
That begs the next question - how big are the boats? The standard ocean going vehicle carrier is 200 metres long and 32 metres wide and can fit about 5000 - 5500 cars onboard. A Tesla is larger and significantly heavier than a standard car and so a maximum of about 4500 cars are in each shipment. There are larger vessels that can transport more and I will make a point of mentioning it if a larger vessel is being used.

Anyway the plan is to post details of the latest Tesla shipping news for 2024 to this thread.

I will keep and eye on Pier 80 San Francisco for Model S/X exports to Far East and Baltimore for S/X to Europe.

There are a number of ship trackers you can use to follow the ships and www.marinetraffic.com is one with perhaps the best free coverage but there are plenty of others. The ships transmit a signal which is picked up by shore based receivers (mostly hosted by amateurs) and forwarded to the website. The trouble is that the signal is a VHF signal meaning the receiver has to be within line-of-sight and once the ship goes over the horizon to the receiver that's it, unless you pay for satellite coverage which is not cheap. With the aid of satellite tracking I will provide a daily update on exactly where each 'Tesla' ship is and provide an estimated time of arrival to Zeebrugge and Southampton (the UK port of entry for Tesla). A talented reader of the thread @Frizzy, has created an excellent webpage where you can track 'Tesla' ships.
I'll also try and add some background info which you may find interesting.

Correctly identifying Tesla ships from Shanghai is not easy and quite often a 'suspect' ship turns out to be a false alarm. There are other sites that claim to track Tesla ships but actually just track every possible ship that departs Shanghai, which is not particularly helpful. I at least try and rule out the improbable ones based on my experience. It's also free! It helps enormously if when you 'chat' to Tesla about your order that you ask what ship your car is on or if they won't tell you the name, at least ask when it will arrive in Zeebrugge/Southampton. Please post your info to the thread or PM me!

You can help me and others by keeping any posts on this thread strictly to shipping related matters - questions about when to expect delivery, VINs and panel gaps have their own threads, which I have been known to visit and contribute to also.

Hey all,

I am looking to get rid of two sets of 20-inch wheels I have (one with dedicated summer tires and the other with dedicated winter tires) and go all-in on some lightweight 18-inch wheels with all-season, all-weather tires.

I know, I know: It'd be best to have separate winter and summer tires.

But I'm seeking the better efficiency and lower cost of running 18s and not paying for tire swaps twice a year.

In 2023, who's making the best all-weather, all-season tires for the Tesla Model 3?

A lot of the information I've found in this forum and otherwise online is now out of date, because tire manufactures keep coming out with new lines, and changing the names of old lines.

For reference, I live in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Think mild summers and mild winters, but 6 months of rain and also some weekend ice and snow when my son and I head up into the mountains for skiing and snowboarding.

Thank you for any thoughts you have.

I tested all these tires back to back on either a Tesla Model 3 or Y. I have both a Model 3 and a Model Y (wife’s).

My goal was to have a great handling tire (makes me happy) that can handle the occasional snow, is quiet, and has good range.

For context, I have the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires on both the 3 and Y. This is by far the best handling tire, really amazing, our benchmark for handling, and is just a joy to drive. I’m in Colorado though and for nov/dec/apr, we can see temps below 40, which is a no-no for driving the PS4S, so I wanted something more cold tolerant during the shoulder seasons. We have winter wheels (Pirelli Sottozero 3, which we love) for ski season.

Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4:
I drove this on a Performance Model Y (Tesla test drive). Handling is very good, and I hear it’s also very good in the snow. Negatives is that it’s loud and it’s not great for range, the former being more important to me.

Pirelli All Season Plus Elect:
We bought these for our Model Y. Handling is good if not great. And it’s quiet and comfortable, and of course it’s tuned for EVs and has good range. We really really like these tires. I would give the edge to the PS AS 4 for handling, but it is slight and totally not enough to justify the range hit or how loud they are.

Hankook iON evo AS ih01:
I just bought these for my 3. It was a gamble because I couldn’t find any reviews on them. They are brand new to the market. Overall, I definitively do not like them. The handling is terrible for a car like the model 3 w/ AB. It feels super floaty and squirrelly when cornering. The noise level is not great either surprisingly. Strangely enough, it’s relatively louder at slower speeds, but does seem to be quiet on the highway. The Pirelli’s have way better handling and seem quieter all around. Aside from noise and handling, there is one thing the evos does really well. It feels like a bat out if hell when accelerating in a straight line. You can tell the engineering is optimized for that trait. I do like that a lot, and I’m sure it has great range, and I would accept the noise level too, but the handling is just too awful, I can’t accept it. That said, if you’re not a spirited driver, I think the evos are a great value. They’re just not for me.

Overall, I think the Pirelli AS PE hit all the cords I’m looking for. The Michelin PS AS 4’s are a close second and might also be better in snow, but we’re not optimizing for snow since we have winter tires. And the quiet ride and good range is also very much appreciated.

I hope this review helps others out there!

All these new EV tires are very exciting. I’m a huge Michelin fan, but they need to up their game on EV tires. For now, Pirelli is winning my business.

Just got my CNick ring. This is amazing! I can use it as a backup key for my car, if phone is out of juice. And also it has contactless payment!

So finally you can go to the beach or waterpark and leave all your belongings to the car, and can buy ice cream and beverages.

Morning,

I purchased a new 2022 Plaid and just broke 10k miles. Have had two front drive units replaced, steering wheel internal mechanism replaced (somehow broke) and two alignments done. I now have constant squeaking from the front driver side suspension at low speeds. I made a service request and they are charging $152 to diagnose. Has anyone experienced this issue and is there a reason warranty isn’t covering this? I asked Tesla and still waiting on a response.

Down loading a new update

Starliner's launch date has slipped a year to September 2018 due development delays:

Starliner’s first complete hull mated at Kennedy; crew launch delayed to 2018 | NASASpaceFlight.com

SpaceX's timetable also slipped from late 2016 to 2017. That was because of the CRS-7 failure though. SpaceX development is tracking well.

Tesla has released FSD v12.3.5 as version 2024.3.20.This release comes a bit as a surprise as we're awaiting a new FSD update based on 2024.8 or 2024.14.

I have scheduled the car for service.

The charge port won't open with an external push on the flap, even when the car is awake and the doors/trunk are open. When I use the touch screen to open the chargeport it opens, then closes again, in a fraction of a second. I had to have my wife press the charge port open button and I then held it open so that I could insert my L2 charge cable. The port still tries to close with the charger plugged in.

Given how much better damped the new model 3 is, has anyone tried ordered the OEM tesla parts and put the highland suspension on the original model 3?

It seems fairly inexpensive, relative to what some of the coilovers cost. It looks like they sell the whole spring, coil and top hat as a unit for the front between $160 and $190 for the complete assembly. Could potentially be a great upgrade that is a stopgap between going full coilovers and potentially having clunk or binding you see on some of the entry level teins, etc.

Not sure if all the mounts are the same and that's what I'd hope to find out here, since parts are available to order.

Has anyone discussed this before? Our car doesn't save record clips into the thumb drive every second, but seems to copy the file from the car's internal storage to the thumb every 60 seconds. I tried it with my new nvme enclosure and proved that it is not real-time copying like most dash cam out there. I believe the good thing about it is less heat generated, but the best thing should be you might lose the most important seconds before an accident.

I posted it on youtube: 0"40s it saves into the drive, then it saves again at 1"40s. Speed reached up to 40Mb/S

what do you think?

Hello! A few months ago I was getting three red lights while the car was charging but slowly. I installed new firmware and that did the trick. Started happening again today, logged online w/ the charger showed no new updates so did an offline update and resintalled firmware. Worked for about 20 minutes now its overheating again.

Anyone dealt with this lately?
