I did, first thing. Usual silence until Sean or Queenie reply (or not).

Received a replacement v4+ with heating element and its having a hard time connecting to the Android app (official v1, latest play store beta also v1 AND latest v2 debug from Ohmmus google drive cloud FS). Can't get a SoC or battery temp reading, cell voltage, balancing delta or any of the...

We have discussed these (and their impact on rain runoff, wind noise and general NVH) since 2021 or so when they first appears on MiC Model 3s. There are a few OE flavors now (for 3s and Ys) and a few non-OE flavors too. Different pattern of the blocked off holes on hoods of the last few model...

It is still recommended, but now by the owner or the tinkerer (or one and the same). -Tesla has their multiple recommendations -Elon has his recommendations -MPP has their recommendations -Other vendors have their recommendations -Tire and wheel enthusiasts on and off here have their...

Ding ding ding, correct.

Recommended tire pressure in the app and on the main MCU screen is fully customizable and can either be a. reset to generic defaults or b. set to whatever you want (artifically low, or exceedingly high). Depending on how its set, it will also shift the TPMS low and high pressure alert thresholds.

Good. What revision of the v4+ (there are a few, despite the same external label)? and what config (were you finally able to apply the Model Y config?). Give the car/battery combo at least one month and ideally one or two software updates' worth of time to see if any errors or notifications...

Anyone have luck applying different configs and having them stick with the debug Android apk? It took me forever to get EXTREME to take and now (and before) no other profile will actually reflect even if the app reports it pulled successfully. App permissions adjusted as Ohmmu wants...

This is normal and considered within spec on these cars. If it bothers you, remove the rust and/or simply apply some copper anti-seize. You can also put some grease on the tie rod ends which will also develop a thin layer of rust if left untreated.

Within spec.

The config naming convention is odd indeed. Logically, if using the latest debug Android apk or iOS v2 app, and choosing the same car, on any given day, we should all be pulling the same config with the same naming convention showing in the app. Unless there are multiple flavors of v4+s out...

For those of you with the latest Ohmmu app on iOS/Android and BMS firmware update pushed to your vintage Model 3s.... is this the latest config you see?

This has indeed been discussed many times on and off here. Its a 'feature' of both the manufacturing of these tailights (both inner and outter) and the trunk hatch design that increases the likelyhood of stress cracks in the housings to either develop or spread. There are too many internal...

Still no Android app, or even a side-load apk available across the interweb. All stuck on v1.0 (whereas iOS is v2.0 now). Nonetheless, seems the firmware updates, extreme profiles etc didnt solve a thing - unless Im reading the past two pages of fragmented info incorrectly. PSA - its also...

Yes USS appears to still work and have not been disabled if present with 2023.20.7 unless an old Model 3 was updated to HW3/AP3 and is now (as of last year) on Vision only (with changes to max cruise speed, forced auto wipers and auto healights). Radar, I guess I wont be able to confirm since...

Checked and surprisingly I'm a bit confused by what I'm seeing.... While driving and approaching say a curb or pulling into a parking spot, I believe radar is still working and I see not just the proximity lines/outlines but also the inch approximations on this FSD merged branch, but.... the...

I can check later today, got the update a few days ago but havent driven the car since last weekend. HW2.5 vintage Model 3 with all early production sensors and hardware (as designed and originally intended), including amber bleed side camera sensors.

Disabled only on HW3/3.5 cars, HW2.5 retained radar. Part of the reason some skipped hackgrading to HW3.x to avoid the retcon.

Very unlikely. And thats a good thing. Highland/Juniper cars will need at least 1-2 calendar years for Tesla to iron out most kinks. Avoid 1st year automotive products.

Sadly thats been proven to not work (at least on the pre-bluetooth TPMS 'vintage' 3s). With 2023.20.7, a Tesla now keeps track of miles in between rotations (if reset via the center screen GUI) and will throw alerts/notjfications akin to 00s/10s style 'change engine or transmission oil' or...

One of the benefits of the vintage Model 3s are the old non-metal scroll wheels which do not get cold or hot with cabin and ambient temp swings. My trusty old 2018 reminds me of that each time I drive the familys 2023 Y or any recent Hertz rentals. Perhaps they can be retrofitted into the...

Regen alone (completely missing on US spec limited offering of IDs) is reason alone to consider a 3, in any trim. Even the most basic RWD model will be decent and might be ideal for your use, with a Performance car being far more than can safely be used on public roads across North America...

PPF and/or ceramic coating applied in that area or across the entire rear bumper skin will keep this in check and prevent a lot of the buildup from taking hold. As an alternative, some type of bumper edge lip like you see on older-gen Prius or various Subaru CUVs. I believe Ive seen both...

Yup any flaps that overlap with the fender/rocker will cause damage or result in discoloration, even if you use ppf under them. Its just the nature of these things when combined with dust dirt sand etc that gets under them and mechanically rubs against the paint. This is why if you're going to...

Consider these flexibles ones from Luckyeasy (Amazon, Aliexpress, etc). 3: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BCJTX58Z Y: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BCJW4FSK They used to be offered in sets of 4 and in rigid plastic (a year or two ago) but now come in a nice flexible material and sets of 6. Have...

Try this, works much better than other methods (at least until we figure out how to open the contactors while in the service menu to be able to hard reset the BMS calibration based on HVB open voltage at >90% SoC). Don't go by kWh added, instead if youre going to attempt to use basic info the...

There are some old posts about the HVAC blower motor and/or air valve actuators going bad on vintage 3s. Fairly easy to get in there and replace either by SC/MS or personally if out of warranty. One way to try and replicate is to play with the fan control GUI and route the air onto the...

Another month and soon quarter passes, and still no app update or firmware update for the aging v4/v4+... Tesla has long moved on, Ohmmu/Sean appear to have done the same.

Looks are subjective so you have to make up your own mind in that department, but when it comes to fit/finish, quality and standing behind a product - there is one, hands down, choice - Maxton Designs Their kits are designed and manufactured locally to their HQ in Eastern Europe and sold...

It is and its also possible the wrong wire is plugged in... hence the need to check the wiring harness and possibly reverse whats plugged in now. The factory and SC techs both make this mistake on these vintage cars... the newer models have the connectors and wiring harness revised so as to...

Does your cabin speaker work? If not, this was a common issue with the legacy (not vintage) 2017-2018 Model 3s... where the factory would either fail to connect the glovebox light and cabin speaker harness wires and plugs: a. completely (either one or both wires could be unplugged) b...

Yes, sorry to see. Based on photos alone, looks like rather superficial sheet metal and plastic damage - mostly remove/replace of the bumper skin, headlight, fender skin, fog assembly, maybe some sensors. However there might be hidden suspension and front driveline damage, A pillar damage...

J are old parts guys, been this way since September last year... you want these or newer: Time to replace upper-control arm ball joints

Its good to periodically (say every few months to at least once a year) go below 10% SoC and let the car deep sleep for at least 3-4 hrs., then L1/L2 charge up to 100%, unplug, drive off or again let the car deep sleep for 2-3hrs and then drive off the top 5-10% SoC to get back below 90%. This...

Search is your friend: Non-OEM Cabin Air Filter Options Its indeed very good and made in the same factory as the OE part. Used a set, two years ago, last year and this year.

The OG Model 3 was supposed to be called the Model E (hence SEXY vs S3XY), but Ford or some other has-been of the industry called up their suits who brought even legalize at a budding Tesla that caused them to go with the 3 moniker we all know since 2016. Hopefully Highland and Juniper do not...

Helmholtz resonators work well in exhaust setups on archaic ICE cars, what we need is active noise cancelling which is a proven solution for cabin noise. Expect wind and general cabin noise to get worse with upcoming Tesla models as the brand digs dipper into mainstream appliance territory.

There are aftermarket solutions for this, see e-Commerce sites, MiC resellers and MiA 3D printed options: AbstractOcean SilverStand Design etc.

OP there are few threads on this from way back, when the 2017s came out with so called gen1 seats, then came the gen2s (front and back) and finally something akin to gen 2.5 (slightly different front seat padding, same back seat bench). Back then we even had hope for base trim cloth seats (as...

Ah yes the PROC_HVBMS_X_RESET-SOC proc. HVB contactors must be open for this to work, I havent found a way to keep the car powered on with them in an open state and with the car in service mode with gateway unlocked... dont want to risk bricking anything or having all powered by the LVB. Sadly...

Appears to be OEM but not for your car. Perhaps its: -for an APAC Model Y -for an AMER Model 3/Y -something else Aftermarket convex and/or blue/yellow/clear tint mirrors have better fit than this so something is definetly off.

Same issue here on a vintage 2018 3 LR AWD and a 2013 Y AWD with different tailight/headlight and of course MCU, etc configurations.

Exactement pourquoi je cours sur des voiliers et des catamarans. Still, the best day in a man's life is not when he buys, but when he sells his boat. I do hope Tesla doesn't have to reverse course or reinvent their design language in say 3-5 years time - when half the fleet is long overdue for...

If it only took 15min, they took the easy way out and likely only added the harness strain relief.... instead of replacing the entire harness. Even if moving fast, with a small frame and hands... it takes at least 45-60min to do the full replacement (including some camera handshake reset via...

Thank Jah (or any other deity, demon or entity that goes bump in the night) for that. Otherwise, we would be forced to see more of the abominations that frequent this and all other fora and automotive anti-social media channels.

The more photos and renders I see of Highland and Juniper, the less likely I am to buy another Tesla. Maybe its time to just give up on cars period since there is still nothing else out there that's compelling in the EV category (too bad the TCO on a facelifted Taycan or Boxter EV is...

Forget APKmirror and check APKpure. Since you're OK with side-loading apps, grab the latest (and then some others) there.

My take is two partitions give you more flexability. And allow you to have one USB port occupied for one device serving two primary functions, which would otherwise require two devices. With two partitions, you can easily review/delete all videos and still keep your music and videos intact...

OP - you can but there ARE differences that would prevent it depending on the door you go with vs the one you have. And it differs for front vs rear doors too! Its more of an art than a science with Tesla sadly. So I cant tell you exact manufacturing and global cutoffs or enumerate the...

It will likely never happen here or in Europe. The pre auto-trunk cars are in Teslas rear-view mirror, soon to be followed by HWv3/Atom and Ryzen USS or USS-less pre-facelift cars. Part of the reason auto-trunk was added has to do less with customer demand, convenience and more to do with 3/Y...
