Going back to Jan 2023 I have had only one charge per month from Tesla, that being for Premium Connectivity. But starting in June 2023 i have been having multiple charges for differing amounts between $9 and $17. The number of charges started out with 4 in June and has been increasing to Nov...

I have determined that my Model 3, as manufactured, is not CCS upgrade enabled. However i read in this forum that folks are doing it on their own. I would never try to do it myself and have drawn a blank on Tesla dealers that will do it. I am about to take a round the US tour in my 2020 Model 3...

Has anyone in the US or North America had a CCS adaptor conversion done to a 2020 Model 3? Are newer Model 3's coming standard with CCS compatibility? Do they come with CCS adapters?

I live in Columbus Ohio. Does anyone know where i can have a ccs adapter conversion done? The local dealership service front desk doesn't do this. However i am not sure they are knowledgeable even about the adapter parts. Are there any other dealerships where others have been sucessful...

Model 3 manufactured June 2020. Since then i have mostly charged from home using mobile the connector (except for long distance travel. ) For all of this time until recently the screen has shown a charge rate of 5-6 miles charge per hour with 12/12 amps. Recently the charge rate has gone down...

Took my Model 3 to a car wash that uses rollers to propel the car. I thought i had the car in neutral but apparently it was in drive. With my foot on the break, the drive at zero mph went into lock mode. I felt one set of rollers bump the car up and then go on. The attendant I believe, stopped...

Yesterday, three drivers, including me experienced very low charge rates at a super station. We were all spaced at least two chargers apart and had 35kw, 18kw and 40kw respectively. One of the other drivers said he had experienced the same low charge rate across town (Columbus Ohio). What gives?

Is there such thing as a mobile battery? One that i could carry in the trunk and charge the car with if i loose my charge? How many miles could it give me?

There is a little window in the bottom left of the screen that is labled 'Trip A'. It shows mileage and watt hour consumption since 'Trip A reset' . When the car is NOT being driven, does this measure include power consumption while parked? Why is 'wH/mi' so high when the car is first started...

I am doing a cross country from Ohio to Washington. I am using the app ABRP and for some legs it has me leaving with a 90% charge and specifies a speed limit to maximize efficiency to make the distance. On one leg it tells me to keep my speed max at 68mph. Question, on such a leg, if i charge...

Does the Tesla depend only on GPS satellites for navigation? Does Model 3 have the US map on its computer or does it pull up the map each time i invoke the Tesla Navigate app? What about other services? Web apps for instance? I have laid(sp?) in a ABRP plan for a cross country trip. If i am...

Can someone tell me how to print or export the table please?

Does anyone know of a shop that can do Tesla service?

I know i read about a blower running from under the frunk. The weather is cool now average daily temp is approx 70 deg F. Still the blower keeps running when i park in a cool garage? Two questions: 1. Why. 2. Can i turn it off manually and not harm anything?

I have an appointment to have my driver's window looked (listened to) at. It makes excessive wind noise at 50mph or more. This is compared to my previous ICE Camry and Suburus. Have others experienced this? And what should i expect from the dealership under warranty? Any tips on how to negotiate?

Driving Model 3 from Cols Ohio to Seattle Wa. Using 'A Better Route Planner' I have my charging stops planned. Can i book rooms as a travel or do i need to book in advance. My ABRP has me recharging at super chargers the whole way, charges ranging 15% < x < 90%. But if i locate a hotel with a...

1. I have read various times that repeated super charges are bad for the battery. True? 2. I am planning on driving my Model 3 AWD round trip from Columbus Oh, to Seattle Wa. 1.4K miles each way. Will that damage the batteries? 3. Is there any way to mitigate that?

When i put the car in reverse i am seeing small (1") triangles in the upper corner of my reverse screen that are wavy sided and gray, blocking full view. It has been raining while i was out. Could this explain it? Where are the camera(s) located in the rear. Are they exposed to view?

I was stopped at a traffic light and distracted driver drifted into me. I just felt a slight bump. We pulled off, police called because driver couldn't produce license. Police arrived and verified credentials of driver and we exchanged info. I am ready to leave things as they are. No visible...

1. Why does the charge range/flicker between 2 - 4 miles per hour? Is it because of current throughout my home? I am using a standard 120 v wall socket for now. The Model 3 screen shows amp ranging from 9-2 / 12 amp. 2. I read somewhere that even replacing the wall socket with better hardware...

I find that the wipers leave fluid on the windshield when the complete. Also the left wiper doesn't produce much or any fluid when they turn on. What to others experience?

Can anyone tell me how i can determine if my Model 3 that i took delivery for on June 29 was from inventory or custom built. My salesman tells me i am not entitled to the factory incentive for the free one year of supercharges because my car was custom ordered and not out of inventory. But i...

The Model 3 is super quiet except my driver's side window makes a constant hiss noise for speeds over 50 mph. Not the other windows. Is this something that can be fixed?

Does staying connected from the cell phone app affect the Model 3 ability to go to sleep? Even if i don't open the connection at nite to look into the car's data. e.g., charging stats? What other apps should i look into closing on the car at night?

When i configured ABRP i elected to allow it to collect real time data. Does this affect phantom range loss? Does it interfere with the Model 3 going to sleep? How can i turn the data collection off?

I am planning my first road trip, a distance of about 605 mi per the Go Anywhere app. I have M3 extended range. Should be able to travel 300 mi between recharges right? However the app shows stops on average 115 mi. For example, leaving Columbus Ohio, the app directs me to a charging station in...

I use my cell phone as a key and it maintains a connection. When i park my car and come in the house i set the phone down on a hall table that is only six feet (thru a wall) from the car. Does this closeness affect the car's behavior while it is 'turned off' (sort of). I have heard multiple...
