My car was plugged in yesterday when i did the update. After the update completed I tried to unplug the wall connector but it wouldn’t release. I tried hitting the connector unlock both in the app and inside the car but to no avail. The light on the charging port showed as red and there were a...

I chatted further with my Tesla service centre about this and they told me that Tesla is now aware of the issue and is investigating. They are assuming at the moment that it is indeed the metal expanding between the battery pack and the floor of the vehicle and that the noise isn't dangerous or...

I also have Michelin x-ice xi3 tires on aero wheels and regen appears to be working normally.

I have also experienced this when supercharing as well. And I also tend to experience it when climbing a hill in colder temperatures (around 5 C or or colder). I recorded the sound using my phone and am including a link to an audio clip below. The sound happens 3 times in this sound clip at...

I went with BCAA as well for my Model 3 insurance and I've also been using them for my other car (Nissan Leaf) for a couple years. No issues so far, they are generally great and the price is quite reasonable. I definitely recommend getting the replacement cost plus coverage option for your...

I just ordered a set of rims from a Vancouver SC and they also quoted me $250 for each rim, $38 for each aero wheel hubcap, and $85 for each TPMS sensor.

I've been keeping track of the BC CEV available funds for the last month or so. Since July 30, the fund has dropped by about $55,000 per day (about 11 full CEV credits of $5000). But since August 23, that amount has gone up to about $88,000 per day (or almost 18 full CEV credits per day). So...

Here are results from my RWD LR model 3 with aero wheels:

I've discovered a couple minor issues with my model 3. 1. a paint imperfection on the rear driver side door. 2. the driver side rear tail light has a much larger gap between it and the car body than the one of the driver side. I phoned the Tesla service centre and left a message about...

thanks for the additional info and the head's up about the sprinklers. Did the outlet that you used at the super 8 look like the attached photo? That's a photo that the Ramada folks sent me a while back when I inquired about chargers. At first I thought it was a regular 120 V outlet but I just...

Thanks Kira for this very detailed trip report. My family and I are travelling from Vernon to Drumheller next month so this is a very timely post. We're staying at the Ramada so I'm happy to hear that they have some plugs we can use to trickle charge overnight.

Feeling very lucky. I ordered the wall connector on June 28th and it arrived yesterday (July 3). My electrician will come in tomorrow to do the install so I should be able to put in my application for the rebate before the cutoff. Thanks to garretdigital for posting earlier on this thread that...

awe crap, that sucks :(

Was the black screen issue after the software update? My car updated last night and I had a black screen this morning when I first went into the car. I rebooted the screen by pushing both buttons on the steering wheel for a few seconds and that seemed to fix it.

Congrats on getting your car. That sucks about the scratch and the wet trunk liner. I’m sure Tesla will make that right but if you can please let us know here either way how that eventually turns out.
