I just had my horn assembly replaced free of charge under a warranty repair by the mobile service team. It looks like it would have cost about $130 according to the original estimate had I been on the hook for the bill. It took about 20 minutes to replace. The tech told me that they had quite a...

Wanted to add an update to this thread. I've now had my rear glass "backlight" replaced twice under warranty repair due to stress fractures during the cold winter months. Today I also had my windshield replaced for the same reason, a total of three glass replacements since owning the car - an...

7/10 Super Charging Stations Working at Tesla Super Charger - Brooklyn Museum | only 2 are marked out of service when 7 are actually out of service

Came early this morning to get a head-start on the day, and spent ten minutes trying to find a supercharging station that works. I attempted 6 of them before I spoke with another Tesla driver here who showed me that only the stations marked with a Star are actually energized. This location has...

I have these installed already and have used them mostly to haul luggage for road trips. When we sold our Model X, space became more of an issue. I would have tied them to our roof rack had I not been able to fit them inside. It turns out these base moldings weren't in stock, so my contractor...

Tomorrow I’ve got to pick up some mouldings from the local home improvement store. They are 96 inches long and I’d like to know if they’ll fit inside with the rear seats down, through the rear trunk and across to the the center console in the front of the car? Thanks.

Oddly, I’m having the same issue. Car is situated in the same WiFi hotspot zone as it usually is. I tried a number of things, including establishing a mobile hotspot, rebooting, shutting down, etc. I’ve had the update notification for software download - connect to WiFi for over 30 hours. I may...

I’m seeing about a 10 mile decline over one year and 8500 miles according to TeslaFi.

I thought so too but found that this changed the responsiveness of the car to my phone when approaching the car.

Check your location privacy settings on your phone and make sure the app has access to your location at all times. For good measure guy can delete the key association and the App and reinstall both. If this doesn’t resolve the issue open a ticket with support.

My wife rarely compains about my driving, although she does frequently complain about the temperature being too cold in the cabin - she likes it at 78 degrees or higher. At this temperature, she generally falls asleep within 15 minutes of being on the road. I've taken sharp curves at over 2x...

In five-years time, we'll be reading titles like "Things AP said about my wife's driving..." ;)

Same. Appears to be a systemwide issue. TeslaFi hasn’t gotten data for several hours either.

This seems to happen to me about 25% of the time. Like some others on the thread, I open the rear passenger side door. On rare ocassion, I needed to enter the App. I also noticed that if my permissions were set too restrictively on IOS (for example, not giving the App permission to know your...

Here was the process I went through with Tesla to correct the instance I had in the past - I documented it in the post below: AP disengaged while driving - Radar Failure (release 2019.8.3)

This is a bug. I’ve experienced this in the past and worked with Tesla to correct it in one specific place that this would occur almost 2 out of 3 times. They resolved the issue in an update but it seems to have resurfaced (with less frequency). Immediately after the issue, autopilot and auto...

Forensic investigators can use video to determine speed by measuring the distance between known markers on the road and the speed at which you see them go by in the video. If you could get that analysis done I think it would resolve your question of speed. At the very least, if you can show...

I have yet to place tint on my vehicles, although its common. Although it doesn't weigh too heavily on my decision, I try to get as much sun as I can get during the Winter months and went with removable screens. We used to have screens that extended from the bottom of the windows on our...

I left a pair of prescription sunglasses on top of a microfiber cloth inside the center console. Apparently, I closed the lid on top of the frame. I came back a few hours later, and the frame was bent almost half an inch in height between the temples. I ended up using a hair-dryer to correct...

Keep in mind another point you may not have thought of, which is that your time is also important. If I was not able to charge at home, I'd be spending an extra 20-30 minutes a day supercharging. In the course of a week, that can add up quickly. I'd much rather be home with the kids (or...

Pretty short time on the evolutionary scale of things. ;)

I'd file this as a bug for sure; there are at least two problems going on here. The first is what would appear to be a message backlog or a dependency problem starting the update, and the second is that the Tesla did not check to see that it was in operation before launching the update process!

Forum members, I've been in contact with the author of this helpful charging rate diagram via email, which was last updated in July of 2018. He sent me the following note, asking for input so he can update his chart. I'll pass along your comments to him.

Cops weren't as pleased with this fellow. Daredevil driver's reverse joyride has LAPD investigating

The problem starts from the top-down. We've seen several executives and CEO's leave recently because of (CO)2 emission scandals and the inability to keep up with the EV disruption. I guarantee you that eventually, you'll find salespeople (even at Mercedes) jumping on the EV bandwagon as they...

Some folks have reported warping and bubbling of their dash and other related issues. I've seen my car approach 140 degrees internally when sitting in direct sunlight, and adhesive tends to weaken its bonds. If you can keep the temperature down in the car, its going to increase the interior...

I have noticed that keeping Cabin Overheat protection on keeps the car from sleeping (it wakes up every 20 minutes). I've moved my car underground during the day while at the office, and I'm considering getting a windshield cover (already purchased non-OEM screens for the top and rear glass)...

I reported my first Tesla SuperCharger issue over a month ago (33 days) in Tannersville, PA. Apparently, stall 1A would not begin a charge at all, while charging on 1B I experienced wildly fluctuating SC rates. It would oscillate up and down over and over throughout the charging session...

I came back from a camping trip last week where I ended up burning about 50 miles of range more than I anticipated (I bailed, and camped out in the car with the AC on due to the high humidity). The result was an estimate of arriving under 10% estimated range to the SC about 75 miles away. I...

These are exactly the kinds of roads I *love* driving on myself. Don't want to share them with AutoPilot ;)

What indications do you have that it is not functioning?

Unplugged Performance did a pretty in-depth study of drag on the Tesla Model 3: Independent Aerodynamic Study of Tesla Model 3 by Unplugged Performance

Yep; 5GHz works very well in closer ranges, but you'll need to fall back on 2.4GHz if you're out a greater distance.

I haven't been able to find a more recent version of this chart, but its helpful to understand common charging speeds, and types.

It was a pilot; and was early. I read about it several months back. I’m assuming it will resurface with more EV adoption.

Once a month or more, the local super charging lot requires an $18 enterance fee, to be paid upfront due to special events at the Brooklyn Museum or Botanical Gardens. Won't find a single Tesla there.

Lately, we've been vacationing at AIRBNB's - We generally ask the owners if they've got plugs accessible from the outside, and if we can use them. I'll check TeslaFi afterwards to see how much I've pulled, and then offer the highest US rate (which is .24kWh) and pay them back. On our most...

+1 on the SunJoe SPX3000. I've owned mine since 2015, and haven't had any issues other than the original Garden Hose Adapter was made out of plastic (now metal) and eventually wouldn't hold a seal and would fall off. I use 40% nozzle - initial run to take off dust and debris, hit it with a...

Thanks for the feedback so far - please keep it coming! One thing that just occurred to me is that I may be able to get away with using an Amazon Basics Rooftop Cargo Carrier Bag since we're just packing clothing, and various odds and ends (not skis, snowboards, etc.). These bags are...

Thanks for the response. I found a Fellow Model 3'er with the following configuration yesterday while visiting Bear Mountain. They were using a SeaSucker Monkey Bar Rack, and Rhino Rack Storage Container. I think the configuration works, but I chose in the end not to go with the SeaSucker...

I left my car on from 1:30 AM until around 7 or 8 while camping last weekend. Temperatures were above 85 at night and humidity was over 95 percent. Add 25 loud campers who were unable to sleep and I escaped to the car for some respite ;) I got this warning a couple hours in, but climate system...

I went ahead and ordered the Tesla Roof Rack today, and my next order of business is to find a solid Cargo Container to mount to it. Has anyone had any luck mounting Thule, or Yakima storage containers to the roof of their Model 3 - using the Tesla Roof Rack System? - I realize that these...

Yesterday during the heat-wave I saw one of the highest recorded temperatures on my Tesla (104F Outside, 133F Inside). I enabled cabin-overheat protection and its now keeping the cabin around 100 degrees. I'm already using sun screens for the top and rear windows, and will probably pick...

13K sounds more like the lions share cost towards replacement of your main battery (not the 12V). Hopefully you'll get a detailed estimate, and can share back here. If it were me, I'd have another service center provide an estimate as well if you were suspicious that you were not getting...

From what I understand, the temperature sensor is located near the passenger side wheel well behind the front bumper. Someone had posted this video earlier of a front pumper disassembly and claimed it could be found here.

I've been using a silicone blade for cleaning the windows - I usually don't need to use them on the outside after a proper washing, but I do use them on the inside when they need to be cleaned. You can find them on Amazon for around 12 bucks - some merchants will sell 4 for that price. Most of...

In a video from earlier this month, @DirtyT3sla posted about his experience cleaning out dirt accumulation that formed above his aero shield in the rear of the Model 3. In his case, he removed about 15lbs of dirt (buildup from a year worth of driving across 6 miles of dirt roads a day) - and in...

If I had to hazard a guess - Tesla has the incorrect purchase date assigned in their database for your VIN and has been running semi-frequent batch-processes between this and the supercharger database. When you complain, they fix it in the supercharger database, but not at the source, so it...

Although its been about two months since the battery conditioning feature en route to superchargers was released, I just noticed for the first time (possibly because I didn't have music playing) that there is a very distinctive high frequency whining noise coming from either the inverter or the...
