Hey all, Sold the car so I don't need these parts anymore. The Neocharge smart splitter plugs into your 14-30 outlet and will switch between the appliance and EV charger, with priority to the appliance. It is a more steam-lined alternative to the dryer buddy. I had mine installed for 11...

I started following this method a few months ago, my stealth P had a high of 314, which dropped to 300, and now after following this regimen is back up to 307. Car has 6800 miles, 12 months old.

I could've sworn I've seen that its illegal to be able to adjust side to side in the US.

Schedule service for sure, even if it goes away after restarting it.

You might not think you are driving fast but it's very easy to burn power. Just accelerating briskly will put it over 300wh/mi. 60-65mph is low 200s, 70-75 is 250-260 and 80+ will be 280+.

My car has been to the service center a few times. 1. Clip inside door panel broke, they fixed it within 5 minutes. 2. loose sway bar end link, dash board and a pillar rattle - they fixed the sway bar link while i waited, and ordered a new dash and a pillar. 3. Dropped off car for the dash/ a...

Thanks for the replies guys. another forum member who had these loosen just threw a socket on it without issue. I did the same, got them to spec, one on each side was slightly under.

Not sure that that"gap" is significant. My car has it as well on the rubber boot with the metal ring holder.

180nm, 132.X ft lbs, I just used 133-134.

Nah, thats just bad factory alignment happens to every brand. You can see the nuts/bolts we are talking about through the wheels near the bottom of the brake rotor. If they are on there and look tight against the lockwasher and you don't have any clunking/popping etc, they should be good.

Just got done checking my p3d. Yeah the galling on the nut seat. I just checked my model 3, the most forward bolt was slightly under spec on both sides, not anywhere near loose but it did turn very slightly before 133ft lbs. The one pictured coming loose in this thread was at least at spec. I...

I'm doing more work on my tesla to make sure it is actually put together properly than on an ice car lol.

Mine are pretty tight, tried with a big adjustable wrench before taking the wheel off and they won't budge, just wanted to get my actualy torque wrench on them to make sure.

Do you know the proper way to torque these? The bolt itself has the torx female end and the nut sits on that end. Can I just get a deep socket on the nut and torque it?

Want to check the torque on the knuckle bolts, but I was curious as to how to tighten them. The bolt itself has a torx or star female end where the nut goes. Do I need to get a bit in there to hold it and then a wrench on the nut, or can I just get a deep socket on the nut and torque?

One thing I haven't really seen talked about is how degradation affects power output. I know, and I've seen the dyno's at different SoC, but say you are at 90% battery on an undegraded car, and 90% battery on a car that has lost 10% capacity, how is power output affected?

I've seen the service manual excerpt for the model 3 posted a few times. The BMS starts balancing at voltage above 4.0

Yeah, I definitely think it holds weight. I've seen slight decreases in rated miles when charging more frequently for smaller outings, and then saw some increases letting the car sit at lower SoC before charging back to 90%.

So I got the car back a couple days ago. Turns out the passenger side axle seal was the one leaking, not the drivers side that I took a picture of. They showed me the car while on the lift, and the drivers side looked kinda like some sort of clear fluid film with dirt on it, I guess assembly...

Actually saw some headlight tests where the model 3 is rated as having some of the best headlights. Tesla Model 3 dubbed as car with best headlights in Top 5 list

Going to need to replace the panel, grab a good condition one off eBay.

The only seats I never had wrinkles on, was a 2016 jcw mini Cooper with the BMW pleather. Car was 3 years old with 35k miles and zero marks on the seats, loved that car.

Please do, in all the posts I've seen with this happening, a sudden large range drop followed by that message, it was the HV battery messed up and they got a new one.

I think you are getting a new HV battery.

Thats what happens when the covers are left on, they move slightly against the wheels eventually wearing through the paint.

Perfectly normal, it usually will update to the latest within a few weeks. My guess is that the ecu is loaded with software with w/e is most current at the time its made and then is pulled outta the stack for a car.

I like whatever the color is the pic you posted. I think the other colors are a bit much.

There seems to be a bug with carvana right now, in another thread (and my car included) they are offering $38k for every model 3 regardless of trim level.

at 70-80 mph, my stealth perf will do about 250 miles on a full charge. Lower that to a constant 60 mph and it would do 310+

Yeah someone in their department is asleep at the wheel, they offered $38k for my stealth perf, vroom is at $46.5k

Honestly, I'd stick with Toyota doing that kind of mileage.

I am inclined to agree... Although I haven't had super major issues, but I've had a few problems with mine that have resulted in a few stays at the service center over this first year. I've gotten a loaner each time though and they have fixed the issues

The sticker is on the top side on the end, get your phone up there

I'd shoot for +/- 1/32nd's even across tire, more than that and you need to get your alignment checked.

I mean granted, my previous cars a Honda Accord auto, and vw Gli dsg both made some weird ass gear/transmission noises. Just googling clunk drive unit shows a bunch of results even going back to the begining model s etc ... Looks like a thing that's been going on for a while.

Check the notifications on the car by going to Car>Service>Notifications. Any charge interruptions would be displayed in there most likely. For instance, a week ago my mobile charger's built in GFCI started tripping and interrupting the charge. All those errors were in the notifications.

It seems for my p3d-, any speed above 60-65 is a big efficiency hit. I was able to hold 210-212 wh/mi yesterday driving for a long period of time at 60mph. At 70, I am usually around 250-260, at 80, I am at 280-290.

Car interiors get pretty hot when left outside in the sun.

Oil down there would either be CV joint axle seal or motor casing gasket. If the motor was low on oil I'd expect a warning, but who knows, you might be getting a new front drive unit. I've actually got a leaking axle seal right now, no weird noises though, service visit on Tuesday.

Just checked mine, build date 10/2019 revision G

I'm sure a global pandemic had nothing to do with ...:p

Hopefully the newer parts don't crap out earlier than almost every other car.

I've seen it posted a few times on the forum, seems mostly older part versions, there are updated revisions for that part.

Did they update them at that time or something?

So the shop found the camber and toe way out? I'm curious why you are saying you have the car back in specs? The camber isn't really adjustable unless they mess with the subframe which I don't think the shop did. So that 100% needs to be addressed with the service center.

I'd also add I'm sure those glass pieces are glued in place and the glue is the real water seal.

Yeah, I've seen you in those threads. I had a rapid clicking if I was going like 10mph and went into regen, almost sounded like running over some dry leaves, but was only audible without music on, windows down and something near the car to reflect the sound back. I torqued the outside axle nuts...

Well I have a service appt in 2 weeks for something else, but another post on here prompted me to take a look at my rear motor. Looks like either the boot or the axle seal on the driver's side into the rear motor is leaking, added it to my appointment and included this picture.

The thing is Tesla's service quality is a known thing. Just browsing forums will tell you that it isn't great, can't get a person on the phone etc... That it wasn't going to be the Audi/Lexus experience. They can service cars outside of 20 miles, you just gotta get the car there. Now that's...
