    long term parking

    When I park my 3 I turn off Recording, so the car is not continually saving camera footage. With Sentry Mode on it only saves clips if Se;ntry is activated. That saves a bit of energy. Tesla is addressing the issue in an upcoming update: Tesla works to slash Sentry Mode power usage by ~40%...

    Can someone help me understand my FSD capabilities?

    There is not 'other' FSD, Canada is receiving the same FSD versions as the US. So driving on city streets is included.

    2024 Model 3 (Highland)- Spoiler improves or reduces range?

    When I had the spoilers put on the body shop folks did not like double sided tape (same as on the Tesla stock spoiler). They said the tape usually fails over time. So they used epoxy, it isn't coming off.

    2024 Model 3 (Highland)- Spoiler improves or reduces range?

    Actually UP did an aerodynamic study on this: Tesla Model 3 Aero Efficiency Package A - Unplugged Performance and showed that it did indeed improve aerodynamics. I have both of these spoilers on my 3 and at highway speeds see about a 10% improvement.

    The quest for the ultimate efficiency.

    I don't have a performance 3, have a dual motor. but I've added some Unplugged Performance mods for efficiency: Tesla Model 3 Aero Efficiency Package A - Unplugged Performance At highway speeds I can get about 10% better aero dynamic efficiency. I also have this on order, with the diffuser fins...

    Former Leaf owner, new to Tesla - is this a good deal on a used 2018 Model 3?

    I have a 2018 model 3 Long Range All wheel drive that I bought new in 2018. It has 95,000 miles on it with no significant problems. The 2018 Long Range came out before the AWD version, during the production hell ramp up. I don't understand how a vehicle that was owned for over 5 years and...

    Need advice for New Tesla owner making 800 mile trip

    I've been tripping coast to coast for 5 years in my Model 3 and always use ABRP. If you set it up with all the variables such as battery degradation, reference speed, and maximum speed it will give you pretty accurate estimates of your charging needs. ABRP tends to be a little conservative and...

    Model 3 - Chicago Area -Summer Tires?

    That is a common practice among car manufacturers for sport versions - my 2001 Audi A4 with a sport suspension was delivered with summer tires in Pennsylvania in February. I drove directly to my tire shop and had winter tires, that I'd pre-ordered, put on. Ever since then I've kept two sets of...

    Tires Don't Hold Pressure

    My TPMS sensors are off by about 2 PSI - lower than actual pressure. I've wondered if altitude affects them as I live at 6,000 feet.

    Tires Don't Hold Pressure

    I check my tires about once a month - as weather changes so does air pressure. But losing that much air seems to be one or more of the problems mentioned by jjrandorin. I have a portable inflator from harbor freight - 20V Cordless 0-160 PSI Inflator - Tool Only It's very handy - use it to...

    Tire Pressure Monitoring System Fault message after changing wheels..

    I just had my winter wheels & tires put on my 3 this week. I also had trouble getting the TPMS sensors recognized. I went into Service Mode and under the Chassis section I reset the TPMS. Then when I reset the tire type in the Service menu they were recognized.

    Undercarriage falling off

    The link is actually for both front and rear. I replaced both since it's an upgrade - much less likely to get damaged.
