    Tesla trying to install a used battery in my 3

    Apparently you are one of those people that doesn't bother to read. This is not warranty related, it is an insurance claim and thus that language you quote is not applicable. Many insurance policies specify new replacement parts only. Read your policy.

    thinking about retrofit heated steering wheel

    A retrofit steering wheel with just a plain old button for steering wheel heat could work just fine I would imagine. I think the airbag integration will be the tricky part.

    Software updates on 2021 Model 3s?

    I never got any of the updates for several months after buying my car. Only after booking a service appointment in the app did they remotely force the update to happen...since then I get updates at regular intervals. Give it a month then book a service appointment in the app.

    Tesla drives with no phone and no key card.

    Is that new or changed? I remember having to use the card on the console before.

    Tesla drives with no phone and no key card.

    I went to drive to the store yesterday. I had to leave my phone at home on the charger as it was nearly dead. I accessed the car with the key card on the door pillar then drove to the store. Halfway there i realized I never tapped the card on the console to turn it on. What gives? Anyone...

    Reduced Model 3 SR+ Rang

    Outside air temp means you had heat running and @123kmh your consumption would be significantly above rated even without the heat running. Sounds normal to me.

    Reduced Model 3 SR+ Rang

    My 2019 sr+ was able to show 385km (240 miles) when first delivered. After 10000km I now show 366 at full. We don't do a lot of long drives, but today I was able to drive 370km on one charge on the highway. When I arrived home I still had 41km remaining for a real world range of 411km (257...

    Well there’s a thing, sudden unintended acceleration just happened to me

    After hold mode came out, my car moved uphill (forwards) in reverse gear with accelerator depressed, so that would be extreme unintended acceleration as it's negative to the selected acceleration. This was repeatable because the manoeuvre I use to drive down my driveway and then reverse into...

    Regen dots on SR+ never go away.

    I have a SR+, and I've actually never seen zero regen dots, ever. I have a theory about this. I think maybe the software is the same for SR+ and LR. Obviously with motors on both axles and the bigger battery, the LR is going to always have more max regen available... Hence why it seems the...

    how much did you pay to install NEMA 14-50 outlet and breaker in GTA?

    I can tell you it takes only about 1 hr labour for a short simple run. Give them 1 hr travel time on each side, anything over 300 for labour is unreasonable.

    Chill vs Standard battery drain?

    I don't understand chill mode. Isn't it better to have the power available in the unlikely event you might need it versus not? You can just drive yourself in chill mode. There would be no difference in efficiency unless you're driving it around floored all the time, which isn't good for...

    Lady hits my car and drives away. Tesla cam FAIL

    That sucks. But to be fair it's not like she was being super careless...the wind just did what it does. If it was me and she did the right thing and left her info, I probably wouldn't blame her....but of course she didn't so a little harder to feel sympathy.

    For replika241 and model 3 SR+ michelin primacy mxv4 owner, what bore size and where did you buy?

    I bought 19s from PMC tire for my SR+. Mounted with Pirelli cinturato. Bought new TPMS, but if you're pulling your 18 Michelins to put on them you could recycle your stock TPMS. One of the new mounted TPMS didn't function and PMC wasn't very helpful in dealing with the problem...so on that...

    Insurance in BC

    ICBC is now subsidizing the cost of optional insurance with your basic premium, thereby making private insurance non competitive. He'll it'll eventually be 2000 for basic with 1 dollar collision and comprehensive. Our insurance system is a joke!
