I never took the time to make something but am still running with the mod. Maybe some thin flexible black plastic cutting board could be cut to size and slide in behind the other panel and use some kind of silicone glue that could be easily removed to keep it from moving? https://a.co/d/cTIpuRY...

It's now the #1 requested supercharger station in the world, I hope this spurs some action finally!!

Awesome!!! Let's hope Tesla interprets the #1 requested supercharger site in the entire world correctly and puts some chargers in here. I added 2 more specific location requests in big bear for the next voting cycle at these locations. Maybe if more people add these spots manually this will...

This is still an issue a couple years later on my 2019 M3. The cabin heater is still constantly used if the temperature setpoint is within ~0-15 degrees of the interior temperature. Although now it's only averaging like 500 watts to the cabin heater instead of over 1000 watts a couple years ago...

Wish we knew exactly which maps Tesla is using at this point for navigation. I have extensively updated problem streets in openstreetmaps as well as reporting map issues with Google maps, tomtom, Mapbox, and here maps. In my FSD snapshot companion emails I include map coordinates of issues that...

This is currently one of my top issues with FSD with the other being the car always starts slowing down way too late. Most roads in my area have parallel parking on both sides of the street and unmarked bike lanes and/or unmarked right turn lanes making the right lane a much larger lane /...

Basically every dot on plug share is a non public Airbnb or hotels with chargers for guests only. Remax is the only one that is really open to the public that I can see. Holloway's was not very stoked about letting me charge and does not allow EVs to rent an RV spot and stay overnight to charge...

Big bear needs any kind of public chargers. Thankfully the remax up there just added a few tesla chargers but those were taken half the time. Maybe Musk hates big bear? Strange that the other ev charging companies have failed to do anything as well for such a large winter town so close to LA. I...

Any luck on this? I managed to remove the huge dead pedal compressed foam which bought me a couple inches for my left leg. If I cut the carpet i could maybe get a couple more inches. But I think being moving the seat rails back would get me a few more blessed inches of room. Unfortunately the...

I just removed my armrest and noticed the light on. I don't see any switch to turn it off when the armrest is closed so I suspect it is just always on when the car is on. When I close all the doors it turns off fairly fast though. Man I hate this bulky armrest, I may get crazy and try and cut...

FINALLY!!! Let's hope Tesla doesn't drop Big Bear down the queue in the supercharger to do list.

Verified with scanmytesla that my 2019 M3 on firmware revs the past couple months that the heater is still wanting to draw around 150 watts when it is ~74F degrees outside and my temp setpoint is 65F after driving for an hour. If I drop the temp down to LO my evaporator power usage stays the...

I'm looking forward to the day automakers stop putting in these ridiculously large center consoles that take away precious drivers knee and leg room. The model S previously was the best but they added what looks like a model 3 center console to ruin it. Praying that they keep the center console...

I blasted some emails off to various big bear city departments about the fact there is no real public EV chargers available. They claim Public services and Mountain Transit is working on getting some chargers installed. The city manager also responded with this on Nov 11 2020. "Plans are for...

More like 12 years since people started asking for it in 2008 with the roadster.

Luckily you have easy access to charging and don't care about range. Some like myself without home or workplace charging with an 80 mile daily commute in traffic laden cities like los angeles want to conserve every bit of range. Not to mention wasting electricity is not ideal for the planet or...

This guy drove 407 miles in a model X while towing his camper trailer built on top of a battery pack directly connected to the car. Granted his average speed was only 53 miles/hour but he was towing a camper trailer at the same time and still had a 7% charge at the end!

A lot of people/morons think wearing a surgical mask forces you to breathe unsafe cO2 levels and wrecks gods perfect breathing system.

Shot in the dark, maybe it's a partial reimbursement for any unused free supercharger miles that they recently expired for a lot of cars at the end of June? I had over 2000 left on my M3 and got a refund of 68.27. That's about half the price of what I would pay at the supercharger for those...

Not sure about the MY but the M3 and every other Tesla constantly uses the cabin heater to maintain the 1 temp setpoint. It doesn't appear able to adjust the cooling AC to the cabin and is either just on or off so the cabin heater is used to keep the temp from going too low.

It sounds like the Y has to moderate the cooling from the system AC the same way model 3 does. At least you get a heat pump where the has to use the PTC cabin heater. So to ensure you don't use the heater when all you really want to do is cool the car is to set the temp to LO and adjust the temp...

Looking at plugshare the old faithfull 14-50 outlets look like they are good to be used. Hearing the opposite of this now makes the few other spots now questionable. Can you let me know what spots you know of or what source you used to get the info?

Covid19 has only really had a month or 2 of being firmly in the wild in the US. You can't compare the yearly rates of other diseases to covid19 yet since covid19 has not been here that long. If you look at the daily average it's the leading cause of death in the US. It may not be the case for...

Thanks the ignore link worked nicely!

I am looking at doing my aero wheels with some type of chrome finish. These look kind of awesome, sent a message to see if they were powder coated. 4 X Chrome Hubcaps Caps Rim Cover For Tesla Model 3 2016-2019 18"Wheel Hub | eBay

I agree, since most vehicles don't have an electric heater onboard and Tesla is the king of vehicle tech I think adding a digital thermostat function would be a fairly simple thing that would kick ass as well as save energy.

Anybody know if something similar would work on the M3?

With the 21 inch wheels on the long range S this chart claims 312 miles range which sounds closer to what you are seeing. Tesla Range Table - Teslike.com Even with the 19in wheels the range appears to have been overstated on the long range S. It would be nice if people didnt have to find a 3rd...

For a renter with no home or workplace charging and a 80 Mile daily commute these decently sized scraps of energy are not chump change. Also the cabin heater is constantly being used even when it's 90F degrees outside and all you are trying to do is cool the car to the tune of 1-2kw. Disable...

This workaround works. The main problem being the multiple touchscreen presses required every day if if you drive from a cooler climate to a warmer climate and vice versa when you eventually want the AC on/off. My commute in LA starts by the beach at 60F, an hour later travelling inland it's 90F...

If you drive with the AC on all the time it turns out you are also driving with the cabin heater on to a tune of a constant 1-2kw. I found a way to disable the cabin heater and keep the AC on my 80 mile daily commute in LA on mostly freeways I averaged an extra 5 miles of range. So that could...

Those new headrests looks terribly uncomfortable with that sharp angle towards the head. I hated this in my M3 so I had to find an upper back cusion to support my upper back so my neck could be straight and not pushed by the headrest.

Unfortunately it looks like they haven't fine tuned the HVAC algorithms. It appears that the cooling AC is a full on or full off and the cabin heater is used to actually "set" the temperature by mixing hot air from the cabin heater so the end air temp matches your temperature setpoint.

Just in case anyone missed it I found a way to disable the cabin heater ... Disable the cabin heater in the M3 by unplugging the CAN connector to the cabin heater : TeslaModel3 Also I tagged a bunch of threads that are basically asking for the same thing, there are a bunch... ac 2 temperature...

Wonder if there is a tiny power savings in running is sport mode vs comfort mode via asking for less torque from the power steering motor by asking for more torque from the human driver?

I still haven't done the incision. Did you fabricate the piece from a similar hard foam? I still haven't gotten around to making a 3d part that connects the left sidewall and extends it to fill the gap left from the new foot room.

I already take off my shoes and removed the carpet liner. It wasn't enough. Removing the dead pedal was needed.

Actually you can remove the hard foam monstrosity. And I have another 1-2 inches of flexible space for my left leg. And more room to be had once I mace an incision or 2 in the carpet to allow it to lay flat. That thing is huge.

No permanent damage done, just popped the panels and seperated the dead pedal glued to the carpet. Seperating the foam dead pedal from the carpet bottom that was the most stressful part. But once I realized it was just some glue that was seperating fairly easily it wasnt so bad. I think I got...

I am looking to get a can setup for scan my Tesla, but in the meantime my DC current clamp meter does not tell lies clamping directly to the power line to the cabin heater. Here is some video evidence, but anyone can pop the side panel and verify my results. It's jumping between 1-1.6kW in this...

For me constantly burning 1000-2000 watts to heat the car when it's hot outside and average humidity is a waste of energy even if I was plugged into the wall with unlimited range. If youre living off the grid with solar then it's all good, otherwise please turn off lights when you leave the...

I was looking into something like that, I think the CAN bus is slow enough for a simple switch. Ive ordered some sample connectors from hirshman that appear to be the same. 4way 1.2 SealStar FA Connector 4way 1.2 SealStar MA Connector
