    Ceramic Coating recommendation in GTA? (Richmond Hill)?

    Tesla Model 3 ECU

    Bloody wankers! Can you escalate up the chain-of-command?

    Wall Connector - Solid Red Light

    Yup.... You said it right.

    All these codes I need HELP

    If you're still in warranty, you should make this Tesla's problem. Just sayin'.

    2021 Model 3 Performance - Warped Brake Discs

    Trouble is that it is a "P" and you purchased it used. There is a possibility that this may have been a pre-condition by the other owner, driving it hard? Brakes are never really a warranty "thing" unless a blatant error is perceived. They fall under the "wear & tear" category, IMO.

    Tesla Model 3 ECU

    Hey mate, If you're still in warranty, can this be made Tesla's problem? I had an intermittent MCU issue and it was replaced after 2 yrs.

    Best roof shades?

    I've been using the Tesla OEM ones for a few years and while not perfect, they do manage to keep the heat levels down for where we live.

    Deep scratch in front bumper / fender. Best approach to fix this?

    That unfortunately sounds about right. Colour matching is tough and you might be able to get away with a bumper sling replacement for maybe less? Have you checked at the Tesla service shop?

    Elon's views

    With 11 children he's sired, he's got lots of childcare payments, even for a bjillionare. Besides the fact that he has exhibited some pretty strange behaviour which some might classify as anything from genius to downright unhinged , I think he serves "Elon, first". he is probably doing this to...

    Apple & Android Watch support

    https://www.notateslaapp.com/news/1950/musk-confirms-that-tesla-will-add-apple-watch-support-in-future-update That would be quite cool, but for now, just "vaporware".

    upgrading wheels to 19 x 9.5 +35 from factory 18, any issues?

    My winter set is 18 and my summer set is 19 and the 19's are definitely harder on the spinal column.

    2023 Model 3 Brand new weird liquid run etching on glass

    I don’t think I would go that route. I would probably try something with vinegar to cut through whatever is on the glass. Have you tried to razor blade window scraper on the outside only. Especially do not try this on the back window on the inside. I know it might sound lame, and I’m not saying...

    Attachment for floor mats

    They aren't. They just sit there. Some mats have a "hook & eye" style underside (think Velcro®), like the Spyder 3D ones I have. They sit there quite nicely.

    It keeps locking me out...

    Have you tried tried to unpair your phone entirely from the car? I meant BT and Phonekey. Then start the process over again. Might fix it. Good luck.

    Car hit while parked.

    IMHO it doesn't look that bad really. I'd be more concerned about alignment as it looks sort of like a swipe. You'll probably need to go through their insurance. The repair would probably show in Carfax® and might not impact you as long is it was done at an authorized repair shop. Best of luck.

    Model 3 Highland Door Alignment

    No biggie really. Contact service through the app and the mobile tech will come and adjust it. Best of luck.
  17. Soul Surfer

    Big decision....

    Tesla has been announcing that they are moving closer towards non-Tesla, service centers, and offering training to other garages. At least this is what I recall reading recently. I think we will see more and more of these third-party garages offering better rates for battery replacements, etc...

    46k miles and all 4 shocks are leaking!!

    Assuming that you are under warranty, here is my fave expression, “make it Tesla’s problem”. They should have. Loaner for you, etc. Also I am not sur an alignment is needed after this unless it needed it from before. Out of caution I would have that checked too. Best of luck.

    Pyro fuse blew while driving for no apparent reason on 2021 model 3 LR AWD

    Was this car a rebuild from an accident? It wouldn’t make sense to me otherwise. You havent provided much details on the age and provenance of the vehicle.

    Does reporting incorrect speed limit works?

    Do you have aftermarket wheels and rims? Could it be that you have not set the room and wheel size correctly on the screen?

    Wiper System V4

    Back in the day when I had a 1980 something Datsun 280ZX, it had a rain sensing windshield. There was actually some weird little sensor, built into the windshield, which I think was a moisture sensor. Unfortunately, all the new tech seems to rely on cameras. The AI is still not up to snuff, yet...

    20" Wheels and Lowering my 2024 Model 3 Highland

    With respect. If this is your first EV, you may consider doing some research. I don’t know how good the roads are where you live, but Teslas have their batteries literally underneath the car. The skid shield is non metallic, leaving it somewhat vulnerable. A ruptured battery can be very, very...

    Home charging installation - Scarborough/Pickering Area

    The Tesla site actually has master electrician listed on it, by region I believe. I live close to the Lawrence store (just for geo location), and live in a mid-rise. Our community manager installed my WC for me when i went from my Chevy Volt to my M3LR.

    Wiper System V4

    To my knowledge, I don’t think it is yet been deployed. People still complain about the wiper system coming on for no apparent reason one left in auto. This recently happened to me as well so I am anxiously awaiting version four of the wiper system.

    First Ever Failure to Charge

    A couple things: Do you park outside? Did you check the contacts for dirt, both on the car and the charger handle? Age of the 12V battery? Any error messages? I can't think of other things. Perhaps others can chime in?

    Snippiness 2.0

    Issue with new wall connector - solid blue light

    I have a WC3 and I seem to recall that there might have been specific instructions around hand tightening. they even provide the Torx bit to go on a driver handle. at least that was how my electrician did it. Just my 2¢. Glad you solved yours.

    Warranty question - just curious

    I did refer it to the service center, and they referred me back to sales. Sales gave me that response that I posted. This is somewhat annoying, but not the end of the world, as I am a very low mileage driver.

    Warranty question - just curious

    Hi all, Might be a dumb question on my part, but here goes. I took delivery of my M3 LRAWD, September 23, 2021. It was a floor model with almost zero mileage on it. When connecting to the app, I happened to glance at the specs & warranty screen and noticed that the expiration for my basic...

    I believe you can have it tested by your local Tesla shop. they may even replace it on their discretion.

    I have a glictch and need help

    It would be helpful if you told us if your car was still under warranty. If that were the case I would make the it a Tesla problem. Have you tried a hard reboot? That would be by pressing the two buttons and the brake pedal continuously until the Tesla logo appears on the screen. Otherwise I can...

    Official Tesla CCS1 adaptor now available in Canada.

    Would this be the reason why I did not need the bundle of wires?

    Official Tesla CCS1 adaptor now available in Canada.

    It did not, it was a Gen3. I had to get the Gen4 ECU from someone with connections into Tesla parts. It really was not that simple. But I do understand your point.

    Official Tesla CCS1 adaptor now available in Canada.

    I had mine done by a local, very well respected, indépendant tech and all is perfect. He got me the Gen-4 ECU and the install took less than 20 minutes. He even found that the previous Tesla tech had forgotten to reconnect one of my trunk lights. By the way, the ECU was the official Tesla part...

    2018 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Totaled Or Fixable?

    I'm not so certain. the airbags didn't deploy and possibly, neither your pyro fuse. There does not appear to be any fluids from the BMS so I'm inclined to think it is fixable. How much, remains the big mystery, but it won't be cheap, I'm sure.

    Tesla Model 3 Accident

    With respect. The rates you are quoting are beyond insane. Almost $5k/yr for one driver and over $26k/yr for a second driver? Also none of us are insurance estimators here, but when the airbags go off, that is never a good sign. If your pyro fuse went off also, then you could be looking at a...
