    Safety Restraint Fault RCM_021

    I just had this error come up today as well. 2018 M3 LR RWD. There's a couple other threads that have something similar: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/safety-restraint-system-fault-fixed.159768/page-4...

    Wheel balance weights hitting suspension arm

    Good point about the offset. My rims are 19" Rial Lugano, I don't have the measurements handy but the offset may be slightly different. However this is the second set of tires on this rim; there wasn't any issue the first time around (in 2016) so I'm going to go with an installer issue on this...

    Wheel balance weights hitting suspension arm

    Just a PSA to let people know of an issue I came across today on my S. I got new all-season tires at Costco last year and put them on earlier today for the spring switch over. I rotated the wheels so that the rears are now on the front. The balancing weights were installed too close to the...

    Undercarriage Pressure Wash. Dangerous?

    And just to respond to the OP topic, I have been taking my S and 3 through undercarriage pressure washes for years, without any issues. I tend to only do it in the winters, and maybe only once a month for each vehicle, when they get really dirty. I go to the Petro-Canada Glide touchless washes.

    Undercarriage Pressure Wash. Dangerous?

    Quick update that I got an estimate from Tesla for about $600 taxes in. $40 for labour and about $220 for the undercarriage shield, and $270 for the front under-bumper pan/shield. I questioned why the latter part was included in the quote since it seemed to be fine. They said the pieces...

    Undercarriage Pressure Wash. Dangerous?

    To resurrect an old thread--I damaged the undercarriage pan that goes between the front wheels and the battery. The pan is a plastic piece that's circled in the attached image. It is "bent" length wise, likely from me backing up the car over the hard packed snow that was up to the height of the...

    Headrest material peeling off

    My 2018 M3 warranty is up later this month and I am starting to see signs of this on my car too. We just use normal shampoo and I use a small amount of hair gel most days, very little on the back of my head. Tesla said it was an “external influence” and not covered. That’s pretty comical...

    Model 3 door opened by itself while driving

    In a thrilling conclusion, the service advisor replaced the puddle light underneath the driver side door. I don't know if it's a 100% open and shut case, but apparently the puddle lights are the "end point" of the electronic circuit in the door, which connects the window, light, and door open...

    Model 3 door opened by itself while driving

    This occurred to me as well! Coincidentally I had a tech come out last month to inspect my passenger door which was always sticking in the open position. The driver side door didn’t have any issues at the time. In any case what makes me think this might not be the cause is that there was a...

    Model 3 door opened by itself while driving

    I was on the way to the store this morning driving in my 3 and about 60 seconds away from my home, the driver side door open mechanism triggered by itself! As if I had pressed the door open button, triggering the solenoid. However I had both my hands on the wheel. Luckily I was pulling up to a...

    Worth a shot!

    MCU1 NHTSA Recall

    Has anyone in Canada (specifically Ontario/GTA) heard from Tesla for scheduling the eMMC daughterboard replacements? I received the recall notice/update in March, but not a peep since. My 2016 S UI is VERY slow and would love to have that get solved. It feels like using an iPhone 3GS over the...

    Tesla recommends cleaning and lubricating all brake calipers every 12 months or 20,000 km

    That's the correct address. You can check out his set up on the FB site: Wheeler Automotive
