Just replaced mine with Trico Flex 650mm and 475mm and was very pleased with them till I realised that it leaves a thin gap about 10cm high and a1 cm wide at the bottom of the windscreen between the two wipers in front of the passenger. Turns out the Tesla originals are 660mm wide (26 inches) on...

Is it just me, or do those of you with pre heat pump model 3’s find that the new energy app always shows 50% of climate energy usage being excessive energy use versus trip projection, no matter how low the climate temp is set (climate set as low as circa 18 degree Celsius / 65 degree Fahrenheit...

Thanks Adopado, that’s reassuring that’s it’s not just me then. Annoying change.

Up until recently my Tesla app (iPhone) used to show the expected displayed range in km/miles on my 2020 Model 3 SR+ if you held down the the charge limit slider and held it at a chosen %. This stopped a month or two ago though and I only see the charge limit % now. From what I’ve heard this...

I’m with ALD Ireland and the subscribe option has just now been added to the app for me. Premium Connectivity is the only option availabile.

Sent this at the same time as your reply. Still hoping the change to 72kg is correct (given it is showing in my car as 72kg) but suspect it is a mistake by Tesla.

Hmmm, so it does. I’m wondering now is it incorrectly copied over from the Model Y manual which is showing 72kg in the online manual. But then again it specifically says Model 3 I’m the text. Is the manual in the car screen still showing 55kg for yours?

Weight limit has been increased to 72kg in the online manual in the car. Great news.

So I charged fully to 100% in my July 2020 Model 3 SR+, unplugged and immediately drove non stop on the motorway for 224 km and was now at 7% battery. BUT, the car says I have used 42 kWh since last charge. That suggests I have a useable battery of 45 kWh for 100%. I understood my car should...

This is probably a stupid question, but its something I've been wondering for a long time. It seems to be almost accepted that non-supercharger chargers will routinely break down on a regular basis, and that it is hit and miss as to whether they will be working properly when you arrive and go...

I’ve just bought the Tesla roof bars, and will only be using them 3 or 4 times a year for family holidays etc. Not keen on leaving the adhesive pads on in between, as I’ve yet to see any on a review video that have gone on cleanly (and even when they are installed well they still look fairly...

You can buy the upgrades on a leased car Tesla Service Centre with a credit card. I did it for the rear heated seats on my SR+ and they told me they can do the same for FSD. by the way it hasn’t appeared on mine either though.

Just noticed that the official 2 bike tow hitch rack has a stated 54kg max cargo weight. How does that tally with the 55kg limit inclusive of rack weight (assuming the rack weighs more than 1kg!!)? Seems to suggest the 55kg limit in the manual is just wrong.

The charge cable on my BMW 330e had a rubber cap on the end to protect it from the weather when not plugged in to the car. Both my UMC charger and type 2 charge cable that came with my Model 3 don’t have any caps. Are they actually resistant to rust etc and don’t need a cap, or should they not...

I’ve been looking for the same and noticed this CTEK one on a Harry’s Garage video recently. Looks quite neat. It’s at 1 minute 40 seconds here...
