Did you get this resolved ? The same thing has happened to me. I've had the car 4 years and sentry mode used to come up with the red HAL eye when you left the car and it used to record even people walking past. Now since two car park scrapes it doesn't seem to record anything even on an empty...

My trunk lock failed three days ago so I scheduled a service appointment after looking at the threads on that issue. I can only open the trunk by crawling inside and pushing the manual slider. Having just done so I heard the water sloshing about as you have all described so I now suspect that...

I run a 12 yr old Mercedes alongside my Tesla and agree with points made above about realizing how filling up with Diesel is now a messsy annoyance compared with plugging in at home every three or four nights. Same with long journey fill ups - so much nicer to plug your car in and then go for a...

Just went out for a short drive and found the bettery had charged to 100%, presumably after the update. I haven't been on any long trips for several months and the charge limit had not been changed from 75% for ages (UK lockdown means I cannot go anywhere). Annoying to find that the car has been...

My rear lights are the same. Bought the car Sept 2019 Booked a mobile service to replace them but they looked at the pictures and said they were normal. Excuse: Led lights do not generate the same heat as old bulbs etc.. it seems Tesla defines normal differently to most of us. The fact the mist...

How many electricians take a core sample and decide on a second rod thoufgh?

Some of the above comments suggest that a matt.e might fail but an earth rod will always work. How about a dry summer , ground shrinks and very poor earth connection with dry soil ?

I kept trying with different addresses and finally found one just a quarter of a mile away that it accepted- and there I could book a mobile service -- for 12th March. So the service person would presumably have been able to do the same. Conclusion, after thorough scientific testing, that it is...

Just had the same problem of not being able to enter any nearby address (near Basingstoke). I called the Brooklands centre but was answered (after a long wait) by a person in Park Royal. She said the location issue problem was known. However I then proceeded to try and book the service with her...

Anyone tried the voice command 'call 01234 567890' ? It stops after the 9 and tries to call, leaving the final number, zero in this example, displayed as zero. Unsuprisingly it is set up for US ten digit numbers and misses the 11th digit in the UK. Annoying as few other voice commands seem to...

A lady lectured me recently on the environmental impact of the Lithuanium batteries....

Running costs have been the biggest nice surprise for me. We traded in my wifes car for a model 3 and I kept my good old merc 320 clk for long journeys. At least that was the original plan. Now after 4 months and 6000 miles the merc is just the spare and we always use the M3 for long journeys...

Is that an error in their last sentence ... 10 to 25kwh difference?

Thanks - I would never have found that, there seem to be no instructions apart from a picture in the lid.

Received my Model 3 fob yesterday. I had many of the same problems as others with my phone working intermittently and then found that, when wet, my card sometimes took an age to connect via the door pillar. It worried me that I might not get in at all at some point. Anyway the fob seems to work...
