    2019 SR+ Battery Degradation Concerns

    Wow, good read, I will give it a try, though it may take a long time as the OP stated. I've always thought that as long as you drain it down under 10%, then charge it to 100% until it stops, then it should reset the bms calibration. Looks like there's more than meets the eye there.

    2019 SR+ Battery Degradation Concerns

    Hi All, just wanted to get some opinions on whether I should be concerned with the range loss on my 2019 SR+. Some specs: 2019 SR+ w/ FSD Total driven: 63078km Build: May 2019 Delivered: June 2019 Estimated range at purchase: 386km Free supercharging: 7500km + 1500km (from referral), all used...

    What is your autopilot speed limit set to when driving on hov lanes ?

    120km/h. I find that any higher will significantly increase drain on battery, thus lowering range much more than estimate.

    Tesla Model 3 OEM Mudflaps

    Hi All, I received my tesla mudflaps for my model 3 a couple months ago when i got the HW3.0 retrofit. They said it would be as easy to install as ikea furniture so I agreed to install it myself. The past weekend I took a shot a installing it and I will definitely say it is harder than most...

    Obtain Vehicle Data From Tesla

    I've written my own googleappscript hosted js app that constantly queries the tesla server for my vehicle information in real time (1s intervals). The documentation for the API can be found here Tesla API My app allows me to track my driving and charging sessions. There's definitely more...

    Whistling Noise at 60-70km/h

    I know the noise you are describing, i usually hear it when the motor is spooling up/down, so its usually heard at low speeds <40km/h, and especially audible under hard acceleration or hard regen. I believe this is the standard electric motor noise that is present on all EVs. However, the noise...

    Whistling Noise at 60-70km/h

    It only happens at 60-70km/h, not at highway speeds. It's audible anywhere from low regen to low accel. It is not audible on high regen (i.e. decelerating fast) or high accel (>40% throttle). It seems to come from the rear, which makes sense since it is a rear motor vehicle.

    Whistling Noise at 60-70km/h

    Hi, I drive a 2019 M3 SR+ and recently I've noticed a whistling noise when the car is cruising at 60-70km/h. It sounds like a old school water boiler when the water is boiling and can be heard when it is in power or regen mode (not so much when under hard acceleration). Previously, I could...

    HW3 Upgrade

    Just wondering when you took delivery of your vehicle? I took delivery of mine in June 2019. I did purchase FSD however, each time I requested the upgrade via the app, they cancelled my appointment citing lack of supply. Also, i've been requesting it at Lawrence SC, should I try Oakville or...

    Underground Overnight Parking

    would starbucks wifi even work? I've tried connecting to several public wifi spots before but because the car doesn't currently handle the authentication step (no password, usually just click a button on the auth screen), the car is unable to connect to those wifi points.

    Model 3 Referral Credits Expiry

    Hi, I have a question regarding expiry date of the supercharging credits. I took delivery in June 2019, but due to internal Tesla issues, I never received my credits until September 2019. I emailed the referral program @ Tesla to inquire about credits expiring, and was informed it would expire...

    Premium connectivity in SR+ After installing 2020.4.1

    I can confirm the satellite map and live traffic does indeed work on my HW 2.5. You are correct, the moment the car starts driving it disappears. If i tap the map, it will bring the icons back, but only for a few seconds before they fade away again. I guess I never really noticed cuz there's not...

    Premium connectivity in SR+ After installing 2020.4.1

    Hey guys, I noticed some SR+ owners reported seeing live traffic and sat maps, while others only got free streaming services. Personally, i'm in camp 2, I've had the free streaming service (youtube, netflix, spotify) since V10 update, but i've never seen the sat maps and live traffic. I'm...

    Model 3 SR+ RWD owners. How do you survive GTA winter snow driving ?

    Never found the need to use chill mode. The traction control in the model 3 is extremely responsive and will reduce throttle on the slightest slip. I can literally floor it when turning in snow and have very minimal fish tailing. I use the OEM winter tires (Pirelli Sottozero 2)

    Probing interest in obd2 cable group buy

    I'm afraid that is not currently possible because battery temperature data is not exposed in the API which the Tesla App, or any 3rd party applications use to get data. I've thoroughly worked with the tesla API as I've built my own JS service to log data from the car as it gives me more...

    Winter Tire Efficiency

    Hey, so some updates and to address some comments: 1. Tire pressure is roughly equivalent to my all season set, i check my tire pressures on each drive (sometimes multiple times) and i make sure they are always above 40psi and less than 50psi and any point of my drive, i've had to add air to my...

    Winter Tire Efficiency

    I was also thinking that but here's some things to consider. - If there is some passive battery conditioning, i should experience a higher than normal phantom drain when parked, since that is when the battery is the coldest. That is not the case, my idle losses are around the same as before. -...

    Winter Tire Efficiency

    Hey thanks for the response. Just to add some more context, my commute to work is around 37km one way. About 25km of that is spent on the highway (half the time is stop and go, the other half is cruising at 115-120km/h). So it's sort of long-ish (45m in the morning, 1h 15m in the evening). I...

    Installing 240v Outlet

    Hey, welcome to the tesla family. I installed my own NEMA 14-50 outlet in my garage as I have the breaker panel in the garage so it was a fairly straight forward install. Since I only use my UMC, it will will not draw more than 32A, even with a load factor of 85%, a 40A breaker will be...

    Winter Tire Efficiency

    Hey Everyone, I just have a quick question regarding efficiency with winter tires/winter driving in general in a model 3.

    Which winter tires are you biying?

    When i got my winter set installed at the service center last weekend, the technician actually recommended NOT using the aero covers cuz apparently snow tends to get stuck inside. Anyone has experience running aero covers in the snow?

    Which winter tires are you biying?

    Went with the Tesla OEM 18" Aero rims and Pirelli Sottozero winter tire package, mainly due to following reason: 1. I really like the aero rims and the ability to have the option to put on aero covers 2. I read somewhere that the tires tesla use are slightly different from the standard ones that...

    Tesla recommends cleaning and lubricating all brake calipers every 12 months or 20,000 km

    Hey, just wondering what method you used to jack the car? Did you use the special jackstands that teslarati sells (I'm hesitant on going with that one one jackstand is already as expensive as a set of jack + 2 stands). I'm also wondering if it would be safe to place the jackstand under the...

    My Model 3 SR+ has Heated Seats in the Back

    Same boat as you. Ordered in early May, delivered Mid-June. Have foglights, no heated rear seats. Same config as you too, Black on Black SR+ with 18" aero wheels, i bought the FSD package but was stuck with a HW2.5 computer.

    My Model 3 SR+ has Heated Seats in the Back

    do you also have the streaming music options/browser available too? i wonder if the different trims use slightly different firmware, or is it all the same firmware but just controlled by the option flags on the tesla account?

    Ontario Buyers: Green Plates vs Normal Plates

    I got a personalized plate (blue) because green plates do not have the option to be personalized. I drive about 3-5 times a week on the 404 HOV lanes. So far I have not gotten stopped by a cop, though I have not seen many cops monitoring the HOV lane during the times I was using it. I find it...

    Pearl White Multi Coat is new standard color!

    Same as userneym, when I purchased my M3 SR+, it was listed as having LED Fog lamps included as part of partial premium interior. I do have the option of turning on the foglamps on and off and have verified it indeed works correctly. I hope this change only applies to new cars going forward as...

    Model 3 Wake Up Noise

    I noticed that everytime the model 3 goes into sleep, then wakes up. There's a fairly loud clank coming from the car, near the floor (batteries).

    Got my model 3 tinted with xpel ceramic 30% light transmission tint at Eclipse Tinting. Justin there has done 3 previous cars for me already, so this is the 4th car.

    Don't see free 1500km supercharge

    You may need to contact a tesla staff to have your charge credits added. I used referral code during the promo 7500km event, and i was still billed my supercharging use.

    HW 3.0 Deliveries in Canada

    I recently took delivery (June 18th) of my SR+ with FSD. It is a HW2.5. In terms of standard AP performance, I don't think there are too much diff between 2.5 and 3.0. But that is likely to change soon as Tesla will be mainly focused on improve the 3.0 neuronet and i dont expect too much...
