    Is this not deceptive?

    Since you quoted me (and not the other poster who expressed the same sentiment), I will remind you that: 1. I specifically said that my comment had nothing to do with TMC, TMC moderators, or even myself as a moderator. It had to do with my preferences as a regular poster, and.. 2. If you...

    New Colors

    I typically only see semi exotic or exotic cars in purple. Things like BMW M3s ordered in individual paint (thats a 5k ish upcharge) or stuff like that. As a matter of fact, I am trying to remember any purple cars other than BMW individual painted cars, or vehicle wraps with the color change...

    Got all my 4 wheels scratched after putting on those stupid ring protector.

    Whats "too much" is a personal thing of course, and the cost of those services tends to depend on the skill of the person doing it, and how much work they have to do on each wheel. No idea what it costs in Canada. I had 3 wheels done here in Southern California in the US, with one of them...

    Got all my 4 wheels scratched after putting on those stupid ring protector.

    I would call a mobile rim repair service and have them advise you on repair. They can probably make it look like new, since fixing curb rash is what they do.

    2018 Model 3 Modem Issues

    I dont know if they have any additional logs or not, but Tesla service on their vehicles is VERY VERY largely predicated on "replace parts". They dont "fix" a part, they "replace" a part. So, I would expect them to either replace your modem, or replace whatever other part might be impacted if...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I have seen more than a few people post about doing this exact thing. Homelink came with my 2018 model 3, and then when we got my wifes 2022, I bought it for that car so there would be feature parity between both. If I was starting right now, I would probably do what you have described above...

    To protect the screen or not to?

    I do to, actually. I put my windscreen up every time I park outside, without fail, even if I am going to be there 5 minutes. I have a high quality one too.

    To protect the screen or not to?

    I have seen threads with people talking about their touch input not being accurate, or phantom touches on the screen (things randomly activating). If I remember those things boiled down to the screen protector. I havent seen a lot of that though, and would chalk it up to improper installation...

    Model 3 Highland Ultimate Accessory List

    Sure, I dont have any problem with accessory threads as long as they dont have sponsored links in them, or are not astroturf advertising (astroturf advertising = people who are affiliated with a product pretending to not be affiliated with it and posting reviews). Your stated goal was...

    Hello, Note that this website is not setup for you to do what I quoted here. The site owners have the edit time set such that you will not be able to edit the first post to "keep it current". To answer the next question that generally comes up, this is a setting made by the site owners, and...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    There have been threads here that have talked about not being able to activate self installed homelink modules on 2024 vehicles. I have no personal experience, but enough people have posted about it that I think its definitely a thing, at least under some circumstances I have not investigated.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    That must be a very, very new (like this year) policy, since previously it was roughly 3 days, and definitely not longer than a week. Previously if you needed longer than a week, they would unmatch you from the vehicle and assign it to someone else, and then put your account on hold until you...

    Hands Free Open Trunk

    I think its explained by a couple people in the thread, but ultra wide band does not have anything to do with the car camera system, so the answer to your initial question: Is, "it doesnt use the cameras, it uses a form of communication that only the new cars have".

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    If its a brand new vehicle (meaning being sold as new), at least in the past, one could request they remove FSD from an existing vehicle. Tesla wouldnt do it for a used car being sold by them, but used to do it frequently for new cars sold by them, in stock. Key would be being "sold as new"...

    White seat stains never come out

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Depends on whether your state is one that allows Tesla direct sales or not. If it is (your state allows tesla direct sales) then yes. If your state is NOT one that allows tesla direct sales, you likely have to pay in advance before you pick up your car (because Tesla gets around direct sales...

    How much will a lifted spoiler ruin my range?

    Car aesthetics are a super personal thing, so I support people doing what they want with their car. The only person who needs to like it, is you. With that being said, it looks like this, to me (which I dont like): I do like small, understated spoilers on cars, but the minute it starts...

    Regen Braking Decline Toward 100% Charge: Binary or Graduated?

    If thats important to you, is there some reason you dont just turn on the blended brake option that simulates regen when its limited due to battery ability to accept regen for any reason? I dont use that setting myself, but its specifically for this type of thing. Anyway, I dont believe the...

    Is this not deceptive?

    But legacy dealers absolutely DO do that.

    Tesla Solar Panel Design issue (placement of panels)

    Yeah its pretty much " wont touch ". Maybe some small, hungry solar installer "might" add some panels to another install, but I have never seen anyone have any success at all at getting any installer to add panels to an existing installation. They tend to not even want to do that on their own...

    Powerwall 3 calibration in process, what is this?

    Your house would have used the power from your powerwalls to drain itself, and if the solar is filling your powerwalls right now, that means you are getting solar. Unless your home is on a time of use plan, and right now is your peak usage time, filling the powerwalls with your solar is what...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I mean, I have never used a chart like that, and pulling out a multi page checklist in front of a Tesla delivery agent sort of screams "i am going to be a problem" from a customer service perspective (which is one of the reasons I have never done it), but some people really like them. I like to...

The certs are in basic terms the digital right for the car to connect to the tesla servers and download...

    When I saw the thread title,I was wondering how long it would take for someone to try to use this thread as a personal soap box. Took longer than I thought actually.

    Run low, charge high periodically to "exercise" cells?

    The high level answer is that doing what you say may make the numbers on the battery maintenance system (BMS) read better, but wont really change ACTUAL battery degradation. To change actual degradation rates, you will want to charge to a lower percentage than 80% on a regular basis (the number...

    Not picking on you (and this is not an official moderator comment, its somewhere in between a regular comment and one with my mod hat on), but one of the reasons we dont really allow "state vs state" or "country vs country" posts is because they can very very quickly turn super nasty. The...

    Yes, if you are driving in temps under 40degrees Fahrenheit or snow. Its not even "starting" and "moving" thats the main issue... its " stopping " (which is probably the most important thing we do as drivers). Dont need to take anyones word for it though, there are a ton of articles, videos...

    If it were me, I would probably buy a new 12v from Tesla for roughly $85 and try swapping that in there, if you are comfortable doing so. After replacing the 12V, try seeing if it will start charging (if he has a mobile adapter to charge it with, the cars came with them back then). If you...

    Recurrent: Model 3 drivers got 72% of EPA range with new cars, 64% after three years

    Interesting that you use powerwalls as an example, at least to me. I actually have had my first set of (2) powerwalls replaced under the battery warranty, and the replacement ones were brand new still in the shrinkwrap devices. I know they dont have to replace batteries with new, and on...
