Thanks to everyone who has replied. I don't have a heat pump so that isn't it. The clunking goes on for a long time---and stops when I get in and put the car in reverse to pull out. I have made a service appointment but it's not happening until next week. Any other ideas would be welcome

Try this one maybe? (sorry about the dumb photo)

I love my Model 3 SR+ , and I have read the manual. Please don't yell at me. I'm getting a new noise during pre-conditioning (I live near Chicago and it's really cold this time of year). I'm attaching the file below so you can hear it. There has always been a little bit of noise from the...

This happens to me---and as I said in another post, I park indoors. No one can determine why it happens. Lose about 5% while my car is parked at work.

I don't have smart summon. And as I said in my post, I have read the manual.

I have an 18-month old Model 3 SR+. When I'm at work, I park in downtown Chicago in a fully enclosed temperature-controlled garage in a high-rise office building. I am losing anywhere from 5% to 7% when parked, during my 8 hour work day. I have tried shutting off WiFI and that didn't do...

Thanks to all. This happens when I have cell service---and with numbers that otherwise dial just fine from the car. So, for example, sometimes it will call my wife, sometimes it won't. Sometimes it will call work, sometimes it won't. These are not occasions of bad cell service. And I can't...

Model 3. SR+ I'm running 2021.24.4. (I have read the manual. Please don't yell at me). There are other threads on this topic but they are all pretty old. In fact in some, they indicate that their problems have been resolved. But I am having a current issue that is intermittent...

Fascinating. The bottom line is that everything seems to be functioning normally. I recently drove from my home near Chicago to St. Louis. The car had me stop twice en route---to throw in a little charge here, then a little charge there, before I arrived at the destination. I have never...

This is unbelievably helpful! Of all the posts I've read this best explains what I'm seeing. Just one question---do you know what Teslike bases its table on? In other words, who did the tests? Thanks a million. This is a huge help!

Great post. (Yes, I'm just now reading it!) That still would come close to the advertised 240 mile range had you taken it to zero? I'm not seeing that kind of efficiency. Even driving conservatively, in perfect conditions, flat terrain (Illinois), and no significant use of air, I ALWAYS get...

To everyone who gave me a kind reply, thank you very much. Many of your answers were really useful and constructive. And you were nice. But not everyone. It's astonishing that on these boards, one has to say things like, "Please don't flame me," and "I've read the manual." Once again, many...

It's me again. Model 3 SR+. I had been charging to 80%. A Tesla technician told me I should go ahead and start charging to 90%, and just not charge it every night at home----let it go a few days. So I did. Using 77% of my battery, down to 13%, I went only 135 miles, over about 3 days. That...

The only app I have is the Tesla app. I briefly tried Teslafi but found it confusing and deleted it.

UPDATE: The Tesla folks were correct. The breaker had tripped on my 240 outlet (not sure why). That's what had interrupted my charge.
