I have my 2018 vintage cabin filter replaced by Tesla every year. Filters cost 34 US dollars. Labor has always been under $30.

My 2018 M3 LR RWD is probably the slowest car Tesla has ever made. Heavy battery and an early production single motor . Still faster than I will ever need in traffic.

It is almost that old, but my TT030 computer still works as well as ever. Slow by modern standards.

A 5 year old lead acid battery should be replaced. No need to test it.

Max charging rate seems to be 170 mph.

The name may be Model Z. The only thing better than SEXY is 2SEXY. But Elon said no Model 2, so Z. Consistent naming of the SUV line, XYZ.

Saw it there today. It is big !

In the Tesla App, go to Account , Charging, History and see your sessions. If this does not match the card charges, someone else is using your card. This should be easy for Tesla to resolve.

When the batteries are fully charged and the powerwall takes over during a power outage, your house frequency is shifted from 60 Hz to 66 Hz . The shift tells the PV system to shut down, as there is nowhere to send power with the grid offline. The shift can cause problems for some loads. When...

You can certainly smoke speakers if you drive them too hard. Been there, done that, but not in a Tesla. Sorry, I will not test this in my car. It is not good for the speakers, and they can catch fire if not properly fused. Any volunteers ?

There are two types of key fob, with different labels. MODEL 3 the old style, requires a button push to unlock TESLA the new style, walk up to unlock I have both. They both work like key cards without a battery. If you have just locked or unlocked the car some other way. you may need to wait...

Cricket vs Baseball ? Oh, you may mean battery. Check with Tesla. Some are now coming from China, so they may have LFP. https://insideevs.com/news/668863/tesla-adds-made-in-china-cars-to-canada-inventory/

You must have a different sort of panel than mine. Mine did not need to be removed. See the images in my Feb 14 2022 posting.

Mine were installed for free by Tesla. Probably because they were not yet available when my panels were first installed in 2019. As I recall, 8000 is more than what Tesla would charge to completely remove and reinstall the panels to allow a roof or shingle replacement. This is completely out of...

My Apr 2018 M3 was purchased with FSD, and was updated to HW3. Original cameras.

Interior view working today, after vehicle upgrade to 2022.44.30.10 April 2018 Model 3.

Interior view was working for my April 2018 Model 3 until this week, in sentry and dog modes. Now it times out with an error. M3 firmware unchanged. Possibly an issue with the latest Android app..

A swipe down refresh clears the flags , using the Andriod app. This seems ok to me. Just different than before.

With the Android TMC app, leaving and reentering the forum seems to bring the read flags up to date.

Same issue for me, using the Android TMC app.

Efficiency and range depend on speed, weather, tire pressure and regen setting. What are yours ? Still, this sounds like an unusually low range, even in cold weather at high speed. What do the efficiency plots look like ?

If the air is very hot and humid, and the battery is being cooled, there could be condensation all over the bottom of the car. . Has anyone else seen this ?

You would have to ask Tesla for the weight limits. It looks like they clip on, so the worst case might be that they would pop off.

Yes, they worked fine. This is a well established technology, the same as is used on slate roofs. See the attached image.

Depends on how much the car will be driven, local electric rates, typical electrical usage at home, space available and geometry and shading for solar power. And the short term financial constraints. Solar vendors might be able to advise. TMC members not so much.

I posted in January that Tesla has agreed to install Snow Guards on my roof. I apparently failed to post that they installed them Feb 14, at no charge. They worked great this winter. The person on the phone may not know that this service is available. Instead, just open a service request for...

My Apr 2018 M3 had a bad ripple on the driver side, replaced under warranty. Took them a while to find a good part.

No such problems with my Pixel 6, so not intrinsic to the Pixel 6.

I think we are going in circles here. The OP was clearly at the wrong car. The car was on Sentry Mode while the app showed it to be unlocked. The Tesla app has several ways of dealing with this (show location, flash lights, honk horn) But probably not wise to use Summon when at the wrong car. OP...

Airbag systems contain explosive devices. Untrained personnel should steer clear .

There is a very faint sound from the brakes when hold mode engages. I wish the car would make a quiet click sound when engaging, and a different clack when disengaging. Or some appropriate sound or chime. Optional of course.

OP stated that the app showed the car unlocked, while Sentry Mode was visible in the car. Clearly they were standing next to the wrong car. No need for further discussion till the OP posts more information.

FM stations are not available in all of Europe. Norway shut down FM in 2018.

Tesla installed Snow Guard mitigation today, 14 Feb 2022, on panels first installed Feb 2019 in IL. The guards clip on to the bottom of each panel, to slow the release of melting snow.

Tesla now has some sort of snow mitigation available. I am waiting for them to schedule the work on my panels in IL.

They were a special gift for line waiters ordering on Mar 31 2016. They had run out when my M3 came on Apr 2018. Got one a few months later.

Auto repairs can be crazy expensive Some years ago the little LCD clock on the dash of my Subaru Forester failed The dealer quoted $400 to repair it. I declined, of course. A year later, when making unrelated repairs, the same dealer replaced the clock at no charge, as a courtesy.

Yes, see https://downdetector.com/status/tesla/

This is an interesting regional practice. If the handbrake were applied like this in the USA, the following driver would likely think that you had released your brakes and were starting to move. You could get rear-ended. In the state of Kansas, in the 1950s, left turners had the right of way...

How is the car being unlocked ?

Never mind, the missing elements returned later. Here is a screen shot when they were missing

I am still waiting for FSD beta. Just got a firmware update today, to 2021.36.5.1 . The Safety Score seems to have dropped the Forward Collision Warning and Unsafe Following elements.

Not normal, something is broken. Schedule service.

I am using a NAV-TV CD player with my 2018 Model 3. Using it exclusively for audiobooks from the library. Works great. Fits nicely in the front part of the center console.

Not normal.

Since the update to 2021.24.4, the secure browser warning has gone away. I can log into You Tube directly, without any workarounds. You Tube sends a message to my Android phone with a security code, for an extra layer of security

Our cars are not as secure as we like to think. Sometime around 1980 I had make several trips between Indianapolis and Chicago. I got bored with the freeways, and drove the back roads once. Stopped to check the map near the Illinois border, and locked the keys in my 1960 Pontiac. Asked the...

Impossible to day without more information. What region ? Where and how often do you drive ? What priorities : performance, smooth ride, safety, cost, lifetime, availability, etc ?

The single jack lifts both front and back. Saves a lot of time.
