I've only been preconditioning for about 15 mins, just enough to warm the cabin. I haven't been thinking in terms of the extra time that might be...
To be clear, I was not suggesting that battery heating during charging will make much difference for regen braking. My point is that charging...
I get the warning most days but it seems to be due to bright sunlight. I have yet to see condensation inside the pillar.
Just be aware that if you deselect time-of-use (TOU) rates on the Charging display, the car will start charging as soon as you plug it in. It...
Mine sometimes selects my wife's profile when her phone is nowhere near the car. BTW, priority phone is only for calls and streaming. It's...
The additional advantage of using the phone key is that the car automatically selects your personal profile when you get in, so you don't have to...
Yes, it's terrible - particularly in snow or salt spray conditions. The wipers seem to be tuned to Southern California conditions and can detect...
The feature I think is absolutely required is to add "MANUAL" and "OFF" labels below the wiper icon. Because auto operation is so erratic, I...
The harsh ride was my biggest reservation about Model 3, that led me to delay delivery until MY was announced and I switched my order over. I was...
I solved my problem - there's a Schedule button on the Climate Control screen that I never noticed before. If this was introduced with a software...
Yes, but in those conditions you shouldn't be using autopilot anyway so it's probably not worth the cost and energy consumption. Still, it makes...
Actually, yes and no. Last week while driving on the highway in snow, I had a slush buildup on the front bumper which eventually caused the radar...
I now have an unusual configuration - I set a scheduled departure then changed the selection to use a scheduled charging start time. The car...
For what it's worth, I've been having the same problem on a particular stretch of new concrete highway. I'm a lot more aware of it if my head is...
One more item to add - if you use Scheduled Departure but deselect Off-Peak because you don't have TOU rates, charging will start as soon as you...
There's no way to avoid the jerk if you just try to disengage Autosteer with the wheel. Turn signal reduces the turning force required to...
No, I'm charging from a Tesla Wall Connector on a 40A breaker, and in any case it isn't scheduled to start till the morning. I think what I was...
So what exactly does "inefficient operation of the battery" really mean? A battery is an energy storage device that can accept or release...
Tesla Service finally advised me that this feature is only available with FSD option, which I had suspected but this makes no sense to me. When...
Thanks for the assessment, makes sense to me. My issues with battery cooling have been on short (25 km) drives with a mix of highway and city...
As other posters have indicated, the heat pump system is very sophisticated and starts to draw energy from the battery coolant circuit once the...
@jcanoe thanks for confirming. That is what I suspected, and I have found that once the battery really gets cooled off it does become impossible...
From earlier discussion in this post, I had concluded that "more efficient operation" with a preconditioned battery comes about from improved...
Yes, it is odd because the scheduling window appears to let you set a departure time but then it doesn't appear on the main display like it does...
I find the back end surprisingly twitchy on snow but Off-Road Assist tames it a lot. HInt: To switch it off quickly, just activate Autopilot on...
Having experienced a bit colder weather and consequent poor heat pump performance, I have discovered that there's another legitimate reason for...
Two days ago I checked periodically during the evening, and after 3 hours the pump was still running. However, I realized that I might have been...
Exactly - I found that as long as I set an off-peak end time later than my scheduled departure, it would not start charging when the cable is...
I've had the same problem with charging starting right away, when no peak rate end time was set up on the car. I don't have TOU rate schedule for...
No, I always change to "Garage" driver profile before parking it, so it never locks when it's inside. Therefore I don't have to take my phone...
Whenever I approach the car when it is parked in my garage, I hear the sound of an electric motor running in the front end. The manual mentions...
Navigating around Montreal for the last couple of years has been virtually impossible without Waze, which has a collaborative contract with the...
I'm averaging just under 220 in Montreal. It seems to run at about 230 at 120 km/h on the highway, with some heating demand.
Nope. Onboard nav is way out of date WRT ongoing roadwork around me, tries to take me on roads that are closed (or haven't existed) for months.
The only problem (?) is that it stays selected as a baby seat so there's no warning when there should be! You have to remember to deactivate the...
I've done two Montreal-Kingston roundtrips, mid-November and late December, 275 km each way. First time I started at 90% and finished around...
@Rocky_H, thanks for confirming every one of my suspicions. The recommendation for pre-conditioning is part of Tesla's Winter Driving Tips and is...
I have played with autosteer and it requires full signal (not momentary position) in order to reduce the autosteer disengagement force. It's...
Thanks - that's one explanation that I suspected, but Tesla Service still looked into my report without any mention of needing FSD for this...
I've had my 2021 MY since November and have been following the recommended procedure of pre-conditioning prior to departure. Warming the battery...
Agree it definitely doesn't qualify as an AWD. Did you try Off-Road Assist? I saw it recommended and played with it briefly on a snowy back...
Sure, it's the easiest way - as long as you don't mind the pop-up warning that emergency braking might not work. I'd still prefer the car to work...
I'd suggest just highway and city efficiency, same as the EPA rating does. These are single numbers that can be compared to see the impact of...
I just posted my similar experience on Tesla forum and got only one unhelpful response. Based on OP's comments, I'm not the only one having...
No, it doesn't ignore your Scheduled Departure time - it still preconditions the battery and cabin prior to that time. It's just that the battery...
I disagree - I think that efficiency is the correct term for every drive. Range is just a result/projection from initial and final battery...
I've mostly had it in mid-late morning when driving east or west. Sometimes the sun isn't even that bright. Car is garaged overnight and it has...
If you deselect off-peak rates, the car will start charging as soon as you connect it. If you select an off-peak end time, charging be scheduled...
Have a 2021 Y with just over 2000 km and cumulative efficiency of 222 Wh/km (355 Wh/mi) since the beginning of November in mixed highway/city...
Gotcha! I guess the only option in your situation is to set a start time that respects your TOU rates and manually initiate climate control for...
