Getting the plastic piece out was a headache for sure. Tried pins (even heated up to insert), tiny pliers, etc for over an hour. Eventually put a small drill bit in a Dremel, clamped the charge head to a table, and carefully drilled into the little plastic piece. I was convinced I would...

MP3Mike - you were 100% correct. It was indeed the pin from my wife's charge port that was stuck in the wall charger, thus preventing full insertion in my car. Many thanks for your response, it totally led me to this discovery (and prevented a service visit, as that was the next step the...

Thanks both for your responses! I didn't mention but - there is no damage to either the charger of the ports of either cars. This includes pins, as well as the notch that the latch "grabs". I have even gone so far as to measure (with calipers) the distance between the end of both chargers...

Reviving this thread because I have the same issue described by OP. Wondering if anyone else has seen it or has any idea what could be wrong. Details: M3P VIN 80000 (ish) 2019.40.50.7 I have a Tesla Wall Connecter set @ 40a. When I plug it into the car it fails to lock after multiple attempts...

Curious if anyone has experience placing a SanDisk Extreme SSD in the Jeda Hub yet. The dimensions work out in theory, but I'm concerned that there isn't enough room for the cable as there is less than an inch horizontal clearance... I have the SSD and am considering ordering the hub, just...

I thought I noticed changes to this with just about every update since I got the car over a year ago, but now I think there are many other variables at play so it’s hard to tell. For example, the lighting (time of day) seems to make a big difference. Following white cars it seems more...

Two of my wheels are trashed because of summon. 1st was advanced summon, only tine I’ve ever used it. 80% out of a perpendicular spot adjacent to a curb and then a hard left turn (before the car was fully out of the spot) brought the rear left wheel up onto and then scraping down the curb...

OP - Totally agree. I have one (M3) with enhanced autopilot and my wife has a newer one with “regular” autopilot. It’s the one feature I miss and curse routinely when driving her car. I never miss summon, or even NOA in her car. But the auto lane change is crucial.

I had a clicking from front left area, P3d+. After two weeks of troubleshooting they diagnosed and replaced front left hub. Last thing I expected but it worked so hey...

This is crazy. There is no real reason to believe that the GA4 cars are of subpar quality to those from inside. I’m pretty sure my P3d+ came from here, because I asked the delivery person and she said it likely did but she couldn’t be sure (she really worked in an engineering function but was...

This is interesting behavior as I always assumed leaving cabin overheat protection on would prevent the car from fully sleeping. Mine probably does the same thing... I may adjust my Teslafi settings as an experiment to prevent the car from sleeping to see if that helps keep things cooler.

Many SCs in California can barely keep up with warranty issues and manufacturing defects, let alone handle accidents. Though I agree that their response isn't ideal for a customer with a new 50k$+ car (I would also be frustrated), they need to draw the line somewhere....

For me, it “works” like this: fan turns on somewhere between 118-123 degrees, stays on until car gets down to about 105 then turns off. Repeat cycle. I have the “no ac” option selected for cabin overheat protection. My current sentiment is this: it works well as designed but the literature...

I've had a loaner S75 for the last 3 weeks, and can say that I really miss the phone key. One of the main reasons I can't wait to get my 3 back. My phone works about 95% of the time without taking it out of my pocket and waking it up. I was SHOCKED to find out that the Model S key fob had...

Here;s some I have that I didn't see mentioned yet: 1. USB Audio Control Interface is garbage I seem to be in the minority as I actually use this regularly, but locating, browsing, etc with a large music collection is a nightmare. And to me, the only option for getting true quality sound...

I too noticed that some significant changes were made in this software update to how the car reads USB music. Contrary to your situation, I'm now really pleased that the car leaves the order of songs alone, whereas before it alphabetized them. Our different experience likely has to do with me...

My P3d+ has always said "pay per use" on the account, but I have never been charged.

You won’t get track mode. You forgot the spoiler and badge, but those can be added easily. The hubs are different on the P3D+, and possible some other suspension parts beyond springs.

My 3 goes to sleep exactly 10 min after Teslafi tries pretty much like clockwork. It took some thought to get the settings dialed based on my use, but is now perfect and doesn’t drain noticeably more than before I started using.

Hope this service record attachment helps someone. My car was pulling right, and it turned out to be a bent part (I too thought it was software for a bit). There is a blurb in there that is interesting: “...susceptible to following tracks, crown...”

I had this question too and spent some time searching for answers last month. I concluded no, that most* of our model 3s don't have heating coils in the wheel. Here is at least one teardown: Tesla Model 3 Steering Wheel Dissembled looking for Heated Steering (NOPE) :( : teslamotors *There...

I got mine installed today via mobile service, and it looks better than I thought it would. I’m pretty happy overall as I wasn’t planning on installing. I have a full stealth wrap and am really pleased that the spoiler finish is sort of matte too. It was part of some other work (replace dash...

+1 on the wiper control logic is horrible train. To be clear, the wiper does a great job of clearing the window, I just cannot EVER get the speed to be appropriate for the situation. The auto setting for me is the worst ever. A light drizzle starts, I turn on auto, and the wipers race back...

+1 for this “problem” 2500 miles just replace my first windshield after a chip that couldn’t be patched (too close to edge) became a crack. 3 pits on my new windshield already, only 70 miles! (Round trip SF to Fremont)

This is the problem. I installed he AO one upside down and had that same corner radius issue. Was able to get it off and flipped without much issue, for on all edges and corners is near perfect. They really should put a sticker on it indicating which is the top because the asymmetrical shaping...

Sacramento (Promenade) and Vacaville were normal to less than normal on Friday (<50% full)

Got my refund email today after calling and asking last week (and waiting on hold for an hour). Now I’m having 2nd thoughts. Does anyone know if free supercharging can be “transferred” to another car if yours is totaled? If no then it’s easy I’ll take the cash. My biggest fear is I don’t take...

Thanks! So as of now it's just "on" or "off"? (no adjustments to be had)? (and sorry for the impatience I'm sure I'll get it soon)

Yes, very few report indicate deliveries after estimated timeframe. More often I've heard them being conservative. Whether or not you accept delivery is another story...

Is it 42.8?? Screenshots of Track mode settings please!!!

298 lifetime@ 555miles in a P3D+. About the the same as previous posters...

Good news: it’s a standard size! Exactly 11”x17” Oddly mine is on adhesive paper but the side with writing isn’t the sticky side (if I pulled it apart I could “stick” the backing to something)

Yeah I agree. Anything falling off under the car and dragging while driving at speed can create big problems. Just saying it wasn’t like the battery itself was unsupported. I’d still recommend others take a look. My vin is 84xxx, mfg 9/18 for those curious.

Update on loose bolts pictured above: I brought into Burlingame SC, and learned that they are only to hold the battery cover. So no serious threat. They put the car on a lift and had me out the door in less than 20 min. It was my first SC experience, and a very positive one!

Got under the car this evening and realized there were actually 3 more of these almost completely backed out under the car. Keep an eye out on yours!

Did some searches and couldn't seem to find any similar threads. Though I'd start a place where owners can post pics of parts that seems to be misplaces (bolts, screws, clips, etc) with hopes of identification through crowdsourcing. Found this bolt on my garage floor this morning and am...

In addition to what's been said already, I've seen some shops use IR lights to cure the coating. I have no idea how critical this is, but certainly would add some additional cost over DIY.

I have what may be an opposing view. I'm about 3 weeks into P3D+ ownership. Had ordered a P3D- but changed it when I learned about Track mode. Coming from a 2002 Chevy Avalanche that got 11mpg, but most of my milage has been on fast motorcycles. Here goes. Yeah the acceleration never gets...

+1 phone key FTW. This may be one of my favorite features. Although I usually stop about 20feet from the car and wait for it to lock when leaving, just don't fully "trust" it yet (but I'm sure I soon will) And the only times it hasn't worked was been when I force quit the Tesla App and then...

Why do these threads always turn into arguments over whether lane splitting is ok? JUST STOP. The OP asked a specific question, stay on topic. Thousands of other threads debating merits and safety of lane splitting are out there... rant over. I have to agree with others, you need to let the...

Delivery push success: 8/16 Ordered P3d- 9/6 email for delivery, set 9/27 9/7 email invite to Fremont event 9/9 changed to P3d+ (@ Fremont event) 9/13 SMS for delivery 9/15 delivered and accepted!

OCDetaing seems to have wrapped every color in just about every PPF. And then they post high res photos. Also search for them in youtube the videos do a great job at showing how ppf looks at different angles. Tesla Model 3

My delivery happened on time! And all was great! So far can’t find anything wrong seems perfect (for those that have similar VIN numbers and were asking). It still has some uneven panel gaps at the trunk, and the front headlights aren’t perfectly flush with body, but otherwise seems better than...

Just got the delivery call for tomorrow. White P3D+ black interior EAP no FSD VIN 84,3xx Car is at Port of San Francisco will be a home delivery. Order placed 8/16/18, attended the event in Fremont last weekend (not sure if that helped speed things up)

I also asked about where these cars all came from. Obviously no one could share exact details, but after hearing some reasons from a couple people that seemed to be knowledgeable it sounds like they are cars that missed shipments to the east cost. The distribution and shipping channels are...

Just finished up. In less than 15 min, totally chill and stress free here right now. Also, very well organized. Had like 5 different people ask to help me. I didn’t get my car, white P3d+ black interior. They wouldn’t give me a new date either, since I just pushed the change. It’s quiet...

Just got here. They have 2-3 (as far as I can see) red P3d+ with white seats.

I’m about to head down there. If anyone is curious about a specific config lemme know I’ll check this again once there and report back. As a newbie here this seems like a good way to contribute back to the community.

So..... is today a repeat of yesterday?

Thanks to those giving live updates, super helpful for others invited trying to determine if it’s worth the trek!!! I’m coming from SF, and seeing that I may be driving a car home at inclined to take Bart, but that’s a PITA. I’m looking for a white P3D+, black seats. If anyone sees one or...
