If I had to speculate, this is the AC kicking into overdrive to keep your battery cool. The battery cooling loop is connected to the AC system with a heat exchanger and if it gets extra spicey the AC system will work to keep both the battery and cabin cool. This is especially true after...

Nearly dead on 4 years with 56,265 miles. Vin 59660. LR RWD.

It certainly seems like this is the case. The tech didn't replace my clips. I'll see what the service center says on Monday. All repairs conducted by Tesla have a 1 year warranty (according to a mobile tech) so I'll just cite that if they give me any grief at the service center.

Yeah I can confirm the parts are rolling into stock. I just had mine repaired via mobile service in Cali. Just my luck though, the tech cracked my rear glass during the repair. Ugh, another service visit. I'm also unhappy with how loose the trunk lid interior plastic is held into place now...

They sell them on Amazon. I'm not sure how much a repair would cost, I guess I'll find out eventually though. I wanted to avoid buying the same charger that seems to be giving other people the same problems I guess. I just don't want to repeatedly buy it. The swappable connectors limits it's...

Well, no luck. Straightening the cable had no effect. GFCI error in less than 10 minutes at 32amps. I've successfully been able to charge my car using the new Juice Booster 2 charger. It's a bit unwieldy, but I can confidently say it's built to last haha. Juice even offers a repair option for...

I recently went through this same issue after 4 years of owning my Model 3. Constant "GFCI trips" that were only guaranteed to go away if I lowered my charge amperage to 16 amps. I ended up buying a Juice Booster 2 to alleviate my issue. Interestingly enough, its manual gave specific...

To follow up - these outlets were wired in by my company for the EV owning employees. We're a union shop with electricians employed, so it was one of our employees that pulled and wired these outlets. I asked him and he noted that the outlets are not protected by a GFCI, but that it was unlikely...

I was unaware of the PCS failure scenario until you noted it. Thank you for linking me to this thread. I've been able to do a bit of additional troubleshooting and have come up with the following results: 1) If I lower my charge rate to 16amps using the mobile connector I can successfully...

My Model 3 is a 2018 LR RWD and I started experiencing this charging issue with my Mobile Connector about 6 months ago. I charge at work, where we have three NEMA 14-50 plugs. The issue started only when two Model 3's were plugged in at the same time. My Model 3 would stop charging and...

There's been some attention from the media (and RR) being dedicated to this story of a guy getting a $16,000 repair bill to do $700 job: https://jalopnik.com/tesla-quotes-16-000-to-repair-model-3-independent-sho-1847281796 Well, that's just outright BS. Maybe a tech a Tesla messed up? The...

Good to know I'm not the only one with the issue! I have it pop up when I'm applying torque to the wheel as well, and even without the accelerator pressed. If I had to speculate I think it's a result of the FSD code that they're starting to implement.

I'm used to the normal, non-chime, K.H.O.W notification that prompts you every so often in Autopilot... But lately I've been getting what seem to be random K.H.O.W notifications with a loud chime and red warning icon. It's very similar to what would happen when Autopilot would previously lose...

Yeah I wanted to plug him in but he was pulled out just far enough to not reach. I need to start carrying around sticky notes or something to leave a reminder that he is affecting others.

2/25 of the chargers were open and this guy decided that he was too good to park anywhere else in the Santa Row parking complex. Not only was he blocking the charger, he had pulled forward just enough so that the charger wouldn't reach to plug him in, which is what you should do in this...
