    Unable transfer leased Model 3 from NY to NC.

    Got it, yes the issues with state moves all boil down to Title transfers/re-issues and re-registration of cars (especially hard if leased). To add insult to injury, if your car insurance company doesn't cover the new state... or even if they do, you are often forced to get a new state specific...

    Reasons to hold out on upgrading HW2.5 to HW3?

    If you held out this long, do not intend on purchasing/subscribing to FSD, and prefer to drive the car yourself - I'd vote to skip it, leave the car as it was designed and originally spec'ed. Tesla master techs and engineering team confirmed HW3/3.1/3.5 retrofit to vintage (pre-Ryzen) 3s was...

    Unable transfer leased Model 3 from NY to NC.

    NYS DMV cant suspend your NC or any other-state issued license/registration, or plates... but they do love to nickel and dime you (another exit tax/fee) for either: a. ending your NYS tied insurance coverage prior to returning the plates (post mark or in-person at NY DMV) b. trying to register...

    Bumpy

    Since you are right outside of Chicago, search online for dedicated EV shops (there ought to be at least one or two between Milwaukee and Chicago) and get any suspension work the dealer will not do, there. Of course since the car is still under warranty, doing the work now comes with some...

    Wheel Locks, Redux

    Some questions to think about (no need to share the answers of course) for the OP: - What are the wheel or car crime stats and post-pandemic crime trends in Cincinnati, across OH and where you live, and frequent with the 3? - How do you use the 3 in terms of where you do usually park it, for...

    Do these steering wheel covers cause damage?

    Yes, especially on the heated and thicker synthetic material ones. These will leave indentations/creases that will not come out after extended use... only reversable for the first few days.

    Steering wheel stiff after Tesla SC completed wheel alignment

    At one point in time, maybe 10-20 years ago, I subscribed to and had the time/care for annual, semi-annual or even track day alignments. Fast forward to today and the enthusiasm or care just isn't there anymore. Maybe there is nothing inherently wrong with the steering or suspensions on these...

    Thanks. I've been resetting it since pre Service Menu access days (thx good ol'Toolbox v2) and yes, I guess I have to start doing sth like this: Steering wheel alignment alert Re 5 threads... try more like 20+ here alone and many more across other fora, reddit, etc. (often will ill-formed...

    Look at the red highland 3 labelled as 'before'... not the white 'after' abomination with cheap aftermarket clip-ons (that will soon flood Amazon, eBay, Etsy, and all jobber/resellers of MiC accessories once highland and juniper cars start to be manufactured and sold locally across North...

    Steering wheel stiff after Tesla SC completed wheel alignment

    Not sure what it is exactly, but there is somethig about the 3/Y front that even EVGarage at both their original NH location and the newer one near Amesbury MA, struggled to dial things in leaving the steering wheel slightly off center (either to the left or right) and then over-compensating in...

    Steering wheel stiff after Tesla SC completed wheel alignment

    Check the service manual and see what it says about the gen 1 vs gen 2 power steering motor front frame mounts, installing a gen 2 on a vintage model 3... or the posts on/off here about power steering l/r strength bias, inner tie-rod replacements. Re aligning a 3, car wash mode makes things...

    Steering wheel stiff after Tesla SC completed wheel alignment

    First check the obvious things: 1. steering mode setting in the main screen menu. Make sure to adjust to what you're used to or cycle through from Comfort to Sport and then leave whe you prefer. 2. recalibrate the steering colum via the service menu 3. check/reset the steering angle offset...

    Longer term Ohmmu experiences?

    Ohmmu5 config is almost identical to latest 3/Y config, especially for the 4++ with heating element... so there is no practical difference from running the as-shipped config in a vintage 3/Y.

    Yes thats what I have done as well.

    2023.32.4 and "Update Low Voltage (LV) Battery Type

    The million dollar question is which is more meh - the Atlas or the Clarius aka Varta aka Zubr akd DieHardEV. All seem just as bad as the OE Atlas. The irony. https://www.varta-automotive.com/en-gb/products/varta-black-dynamic/545-079-030...

    2023.32.4 and "Update Low Voltage (LV) Battery Type

    Confirmed on a vintage (2018 HW2.5, 12V Lead Acid) Model 3. It can be changed now, BUT the options Tesla gives are limited to two Lead-Acids and so useless for LiFePO4 swap applications (thx Tesla). Vintage 3s and Ys planned obsolescence much? At least we dont have to deal with severely...

    Longer term Ohmmu experiences?

    Yes, but judging by the chatter across the interwebs, seems like many medical device, monitor, and other BLE gadget manufacturers did not get the memo. Why the config is called Ohmmu5 beats me, but it is what it is. Ohmmu says is roughly equivalent to the latest 3/Y config so makes little...

    Longer term Ohmmu experiences?

    Ohmmu devs are working on a fix. Android v13 is potentially to blame with the new bluetooth stack forced with v13 breaking things. v14 appears to fix it again but few devices around the world have it deployed at this point in time. Trickle charge the battery and install away, out of the box...

    I am and its been fine even though I now live in a much warmer climate and it didn't get a chance to stretch its legs in the old location as the cooler weather moved into New England/Tri-State area.

    Neither. The Android build of the Ohmmu app looks and feels exactly as the iOS one. I can't say more than that.

    Anyone have luck getting a v4+ with heating element to talk to v2 of the Android Ohmmu app (widely release now via Google Play store)? What Android version and device?

    Longer term Ohmmu experiences?

    Android app v2.0 is supposedly getting pushed to Google Play Store this week. As usual - the app developer push is one thing, and end user availability per region and other Alphabet/Google geo fencing and platform restrictions is another.

    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...

    Solved: Road Noise & Front Wind Noise

    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...

    Recommended tire pressure discrepancies

    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.

    Longer term Ohmmu experiences?

    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...

    How to prevent from further Corrosion on Axle Shaft and Hub

    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.

    Tail light cracks, no impact

    Within spec.
  37. Perscitus

    Longer term Ohmmu experiences?

    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?

    Tail light cracks, no impact

    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...

    Longer term Ohmmu experiences?

    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...

    does 2023.20.7 disable radar for HW2.5?

    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...

    does 2023.20.7 disable radar for HW2.5?

    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.

    does 2023.20.7 disable radar for HW2.5?

    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.

    Reuters: "Tesla readies revamped Model 3 with project 'Highland' -sources" [projected 3rd quarter 2023]

    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.

    Wheel and Tire Config After Rotate?

    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...

    Scroll wheel hot!

    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...

    Own a 2022 ID4 Pro/s but interested in the model 3 performance. Have some questions

    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...

    Dirt Accumulation/Water Spots Where Trunk Meets Rear Bumper

    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...
