    Best roof shades?

    Believe me, the "greenhouse effect" can happen really fast when you least expect it this helps a lot!

    How does one drive the car when the screen dies and you have no stalks?

    Good one. Wouldn’t one have to be pretty aggressive for that to happen?

    How does one drive the car when the screen dies and you have no stalks?

    Thank you for that! I was really wondering about that.

    How does one drive the car when the screen dies and you have no stalks?

    This may seem like a rather dumb question, but what happens if your new M3 has a dead screen and it happens to be the only means of putting it in drive or reverse? I'm sure that this doesn't happen often, but it would freak me right out. Any thoughts? Did I miss something here?

    Remove ABS dash trim and console caps?

    Probably consider warming them up with a blow dryer, while gently prying them loose? Just a thought.

    Thoughts on the Supercharger team reduction from a contractor (link)

    Thank you for that. While I get it, I think Musk could have cleaned up the process and kept it in-house. Some of his decisions really make us wonder if he is still the right guy for the job. Just my 2¢.

    Model 3 won't unlock without FaceID?

    This happened to me a long time ago. I ended up deleting EVERYTHING with regards to the phone connectivity to the car. I reinstalled the app and went thru the process of setting the "car key" and BT again. It's been solid ever since. I found that trying to shortcut the fix was not as effective...

    Strange Carfax Report? Help?😅

    I gotta agree with JJ. If your "Spidey Senses" are tingling, it is a good sign they're doing their job. "Danger Will Robinson"....

    Used it for Über, maybe? Makes no other sense.

    Someone using my home charger while I’m on vacation?

    My WC3 is VIIN locked so only I can use it. I put a small label tape on it to indicate that as there are 3 other Tesla in our garage.

    12V wire tap for radar detectors in Model 3 Highland

    Dumb question, but I'm assuming that you don’t have the 12V tap in the glove box, like I do in my 21 LR, to power my car vacuum and air pump?

    Obtaining rear bumper cover

    Have you considered the boneyard? Sometimes you can get a better, sweeter deal. Just a thought.

    passenger bottom door plastic trim keeps popping up.

    Do you think you could secure it with some good 3M two-sided tape?

    passenger bottom door plastic trim keeps popping up.

    As you have not told us the year of your vehicle, we don’t know whether you have warranty or not but if you do, you should make Tesla’s problem.

    Insurance in Canada - p3d

    Have you tried CAA? I left my prior insurance after finding that CAA was at least >30% cheaper. Like you, no speeding, parking or claims. As a rule I go through this process every year, prior to my renewal. You might not have done anything at all, but your region may have had more claims...

    Wow, that just seems so expensive. Can you provide us with some context? Car model type and age?

    There might be other circuits affected by this. I would strongly recommend to “proceed with caution”. No fun having a costly mistake.

    FSD beta 1-month trial in Canada

    Another try yesterday, and at a stop light intersection. We are allowed "right on red", unless there is a sign indicating otherwise. I was curious to see how my car would react, and I was "at-the-ready". Welp, the car started to accelerate and turn right, just as two other cars were crossing the...

    Damaged the rocker panel of my new Tesla Model 3 2024

    If you’re in Scarborough, go to Excellence Auto. They are fantastic and took care of my rocker panel last year. Off Midland, north of Lawrence. Also CSN is a good one. Are you a member of the TOCO (Tesla Owners Club of Ontario)? I think there is a member discount at CSN. Worth the $50/year...

    FSD beta 1-month trial in Canada

    I gotta be honest, I find FSD makes me nervous. I had engaged it yesterday while leaving a very open parking spot at a mall. The car started to head for the sidewalk while exiting. Now it may have been ready to "correct" itself, but I wasn't taking any chances. I also find that coming out of a...

    FSD beta 1-month trial in Canada

    I got it in mine also. Tried it for the first time today. Kinda crazy, kinda spooky and definitely weird. It felt like my car was possessed. I turned that sucker off after less than five minutes. I may try it again before the trial period is over.

    Should I do. My alignment at the SC?

    They charge a "car-ehzy" amount. I might consider checking out a performance shop which specializes in alignments and charges less. Just my 2¢, eh?

    What's the pointy piece underneath the rocker panel for?

    it is part of the rocker panel. Made of some composite material and I'm sure is a part of the aerodynamics to reduce drag coefficient.

    Battery temperature?

    Yes, that is often the case. If your car is parked outside, it is recommended to precondition, just by turning on the heat. Many post even on the Tesla site about that. No need to apologize.

    Hit curb at 1-2 mph

    I’m no pro but I think you’re OK. The rim show no “rash” and as long as the tire doesn’t have a blister, it may all just be cosmetic. Best luck.

    GPS not working after departure - also - no music

    I suspect it could be a number of possible things. First off, are you still in warranty? You didn't specify that. Your mobile module might be to blame and/or your MCU. I would recommend tracking the exact date and time of these occurrence so as to better assist the techs when looking at the...

    Model 3 trunk retrofit for new Highland Model 3

    With respect. Something tells me that they are not even the same shape. This may seem strange, but I think when you look at them closer, you may see that it takes out part of the left (driver side) rear light. I’m convinced that it would not be worth the effort, but then again, it’s your wallet.

    Passenger window not working on new 2024 Tesla Model 3

    With respect, this is a Tesla problem (I know you know). Putting in a service request from the app will generate a meeting option for either in person or mobile tech. Also have you tried calibrating that window? You hold the button in the up position for a second till you hear the click. That...

    Front rocker panel rusting with ppf..any warranty from Tesla or PPF installer?

    My old stomping ground (Thornhill). What does your paint warranty say for your model year on your sales agreement? Also has your mileage exceeded the warranty? If yes, then I think you may be on the hook for the repair. The salt usage here in the “Big Smoke” is early on cars.

    50k bumper to bumper warranty

    Personally, and I have done this before, I would show up at the service department and have a little "mano-a-mano" chat with the service manager. They hold a lot of discretionary power. When treated respectfully, they can perform miracles. I have experienced this firsthand after discovery a nick...

    Seattle Area- recommended Tesla-friendly body shop who can fix this

    Cosmetic. Nothing to worry about. If it were more serious, you know it. You might be able to get the rocker panel replaced entirely or have a body shop fix it and repaint it. Either way I suspect it will be somewhat costly to do it right. Best of luck and seek out an approved shop to ensure they...

    Different MSRP pricing on 2022 Model 3

    You would think but it drive it a lot, just not that far. I’m retired so it’s driving to upstate NY every summer, Montreal several times a year and some other trips.
