Thank you once again Gov. Gavin Newsom

I trust the CPUC as far as I can spit. Thank you again Governor Newsom

Why?

12v battery replacement is next on our list of "to do's" for my wife's 2018 Model 3 LR.

Could you have left it plugged into a 110v outlet?

Leave it plugged in if you can

We leave our M3 plugged in when we travel for extended periods of time

Tesla smells great after cabin filter replacement. Next is 12v battery at 5+ years of use

Thank you again Governor Gavin Newsome

Break out the KY Jelly

Waiting for the results of how bad we current solar panel owners will get screwed.

We are now on our 4th windshield for our 2018 Model 3. I attribute this in part to the route my spouse takes to and from work south on hwy 15 and 805 in San Diego. Both are heavily traveled by semi's

I tried a variety of "wifi point" units. I ended up buying an Orby from Costco with an additional satellite unit set up close to the garage. Works just fine

I have an Orby with an additional Orbi booster in the house close to the garage. Got it st Costco. Works great

At home

Maybe it's your wifi setup? Maybe you have a funky modem? Tesla has it set to stop searching after awhile if a signal cannot be located so as not to kill the 12v battery. We discovered that the hard way back in early 2019 when we went on vacation and I did not have my wifi set up properly. When...

My interaction with the Tesla Service Center in San Diego off of 163 and Clairmont Mesa Blvd. have always been positive. They were even open on a Saturday! Great people!

Situation resolved

My wife, who is the primary driver of her 2018 Model 3 LR says she got a notice to replace the cabin air filter.

Having the battery checked Tuesday with mobile tire rotation and cabin filter replacement. I'll ask the Tech to check the 12v battery and have a discussion with the "real owner", my wife. I'm in for replacing at 5 years+ old.

Corrected to $65 with a trip in to the shop in person.

My issue with a charge of $235 for cabin filter replacement has been resolved. It took a trip to the Tesla Service Center in person to correct. Charge now shows $65. How and why originally it was showing $235 is still a mystery!

I'll check the app tomorrow to see what my spouse entered.

I called the Tesla Service center today to inquire about the seemingly excessive charge of $235 for the cabin filter. The individual answering the phone said he would correct that and the adjusted quote would show on the app. Hasn't changed so far, stupid me I did not ask for a name. I might go...

If I was 30 years younger and 40lbs. lighter I would do it myself.

My spouse has made an upcoming appointment for a tire rotation and cabin air filter replacement. She is being quoted $235 for replacing the cabin filter. Does that seem a bit expensive? 2018 Tesla Model 3, first time replacing filter. I am too large and less than flexible at age 70 to do it myself.

Learning more and more about the CT. Reservation still in place. (I did back up with a Rivian R2 day #1 reservation)

Interesting.thanks

I'll have it tested at the Service Center. Tires need to be rotated and cabin filter changed anyway.

Breaker should pop in those events.....

I put on aftermarket floor mats I found on Amazon almost immediately. I have no idea what the original floor mats look like anymore!

We charge off the Tesla panels often, if not (like tonight) for a trip tomorrow from San Diego to LA at 100% we charge off the grid from 12:00am until 5:00am. We really enjoy knowing we can charge during the day when the sun is pumping at home off the Tesla panels.

80-%

There have been instances of dirt or spider webs in the charging port. Check for dirt or whatever

Wife does no maintenance.It's my large body that would be at jeopardy

Not easy if one is old an "rotund" But thank you anyway!

All I can say after almost 6 years of ownership (10/18 purchase) is that it has been a great experience! This is my wife's vehicle, she is he ultimate "test driver" and can manage to break anything over a period of time. Outside of 3 broken windshields, no major problems. 1 set of tires. Soon...

Maybe with a new set of floor mats you'll be fine.

It's worth the wait. 5 year Model 3 owner US

Home charging, usually we get 80% at around 250 miles. Recently at night when it's been colder we have been getting less. I think she has been leaving the Sentry Mode on. That could be it in part? Not all that concerned. Maybe just a glitch?

It means wife's Tesla is not getting regular charging levels. I'll try and limit my nightly JD on the rocks intake before I post!

Noticing night time charging at home is slightly impacted when low is less than less than 40 degrees at night. Wife is concerned (Her Tesla) Me, not so much

How do I check the health of the 12V battery? Replaced early 2019.

Last night we charged my wife's 2018 Tesla Model 3 Long Range off the grid.(12:00 midnight until 5:00am) I set the charge limit to 80% as always. This morning when I unplugged it, mileage showed at 251 miles. Long Range is 310 or 325 miles? I forget. If 310 miles that is right on 80% charge at...

Do you think Starlink is a better option than DirecTV Satellite?

We live in San Diego, Ca. and have only used a Supercharger twice in 5 years. When we have we charge to 100% because we were on the road. Other than that, we charge at home (Tesla Solar Panels) and then to 80%. Battery loss has been minimal.

Has anyone recently purchased and set up Starlink for home? I see both Home Depot and Costco are offering the home version for $599 and $120 a month for service. Are you pleased? Easy enough for a 70 year old with marginal tech skills? If you have, comments and impressions appreciated.

We have consistently had my wife's 2018 set a chill mode and have been happy with the results

How difficult to install?

Hope the Russians don't interrupt that as the war in Ukraine continues on
