    Model 3 seats with lower back problems - others having discomfort?

    I took the seats apart and unplugged the bladder. The back of the seat comes off when you remove the headrest (which only comes off if you hold in a clip with a screwdriver).

    Model 3 seats with lower back problems - others having discomfort?

    Dr Reid, I had the same problem. Took me 10 months to figure out. The lumbar support at the bottom back of the seat was inflating by itself all the time and putting pressure on a sensitive nerve I had in my lower back. I've been sitting on a pad to avoid it. Today I deflated and disabled the...

    Auto rain sensing wipers do not start when it rains

    Once I manually start the wiper, then when put in AUTO they only wipe as needed, but they never turn on themselves the first time, even though they are in auto. Am i doing something wrong?

    My S won't charge since the software update last night

    Last night 11/14/16 my car received a software update. Since that update, the car now says there is a fault with the charger or cord when I plug in to any charger (I've tried 2). Specifically it cycles the voltage up, shows 220V live, but then cycles back to 0V, back up to 220V, and back to...

    Poll on 40KW battery actual rated range vs age(miles) of car

    I wish, but doubt, they will turn on the rest of the pack. One reason they might have pity on us - Since I was price sensitive, I bought the 40 and also did not buy super charging (I know, a mistake in hindsight). The problem now is that I can't charge at any Tesla location. I don't need...

    Poll on 40KW battery actual rated range vs age(miles) of car

    Update: I'm back to 128 miles capacity. Problem was two fold - first a new battery tookk time for computer compute capacity and second, when they instlled the new battery they turned back on the charge limiter that didn't allow it to get to 100%. When I let it go to full 100%, it went up quite...

    Poll on 40KW battery actual rated range vs age(miles) of car

    Where is the battery label? I'll take a picture. The pack voltage is the same and Tesla actually allows all the "60" current to be used so the car performs like a "60." They just software limit the (artificial) capacity. Dave

    Poll on 40KW battery actual rated range vs age(miles) of car

    Thanks to everyone for the input. I have no mountains to climb in my daily commute so something is definitely wrong. Your input has been invaluable! I'll let you know how this ends up being resolved. Thanks, Dave - - - Updated - - - My "40" car has a "60" battery pack, they all do. Tesla...

    Please help contributing to this battery survey

    I just discovered I am way below average on capacity after 35,000 miles. I am at 75-80% left. This spreadsheet is invaluable for me to prove something is wrong with my car! Thanks, Dave

    Poll on 40KW battery actual rated range vs age(miles) of car

    I'm seeing a dramatic drop-off in range on my 40KW battery so I'd like to see what others are experiencing. So this is only for the few of us with 40kw models. What is your current "rated" (not ideal) range at 100% (not 85%) range?: What is your current mileage?: My answers are: Rated Range...
