Had mine installed at the same place, but went with Audison (a) mid-range speakers for the dash, (b) tweeters for the pillars (in each case powered by, I bet, the same amp as you), along with what I think is the same (c) amp/sub as you (but located in the sub-trunk area--although I really like...

That's slick! I wanted to go that route as well, but opted in the end for the sub-trunk installation (to this day, I've yet to use that space for storage). They clearly have the SR+ install dialed-in.

I thought it was just me. I think I'm just doing a half left signal and it stays on, I then do what I think is a half lift "up" (to neutral) and I seem to overshoot and the right one then stays on. 35 years of driving and first time I've had this happen. Age or car? I've never really been able...

In the spirit of liking my own re-tweet, I thought I'd point out that I was reminded that this question has been asked and answered already. See: 12v Switched?. Basically, it would work the same as VC_Left does after the recent software update. In an effort to at least try to add some value to...

Aghhh. Sorry! I had seen that earlier, but for some reason thought it was from another post, couldn't find it and then forgot that it--and the answer!!--was just above my dumb question when I posted. A heads-up for folks with the new OBD-2 port...my installer makes a great point when he says...

Not sure what the norms are for cross-posting, but I just asked on this new thread whether switched 12V power could be retrofitted via an after-market OBD adapter for pre-May 2020 Model 3s: May 2020+ Model 3 have J1962 (OBD-2 style) connector for third-parties (including 12V)

That's interesting because they seem to now be "not supporting" (wink, wink) the installation of "third-party accessories". I'm taking my 2019 SR+ into my audio installer's shop tomorrow to see if they can figure out a way to make my after-market system behave the way it did before 2020.16.2.1...

Not likely.

How/where can you find it in the software these days?

I don't think they've got around to charging us Canuckleheads yet...I don't see an option to subscribe and still have mine too.

Not 100% sure, as my audio shop did it, but I think they had the battery out of the car and sitting on a charger. I know they also tried disconnecting the power from under the rear seat (but not sure if the battery was disconnected at that point or not). Obviously, your mileage may vary as...

All of the (13) steps outlined to disconnect the high voltage power, and then the reverse to reconnect the high voltage (and 12V), were required. Sorry, I thought you'd already tried disconnecting the 12V and it didn't work. The guys in the shop fully disconnected the battery for 24 hours and...

Just FYI, the above didn't work for me. My audio shop did just that (and more!), but I still had the warning (despite no issues with the 12v when they hooked it up to their charger/tester). They then followed the below procedure I dug up on another forum, and I've had no issues with the...

It must depend on local conditions and/or personal preferences because this is the first time the auto function has even remotely worked for me. Frankly, I find it hard to believe anyone could safely drive with the amount of rain I used to see on the windshield before the wipers would activate...

Ahh, didn't realize those were estimated numbers based on what the BMS is reporting. I think your #2 makes sense. I'm usually hammerfesting it home up a hill before immediately plugging it in to charge, so it sounds like that's messing up the BMS/TeslaFi. By that same token, I assume TeslaFi...

Just curious, but how can I have multiple sessions in a row that show >100% efficiency? I'm assuming there's something wrong with the data? I'm using TeslaFi BTW. For example, forget the 2nd charging session below, which was only 5 minutes, but the others are over 2 hours, and all >100%...

Tesla designed the HPWC that way, but I couldn't pass inspection unless the circuit was wired for the maximum output of the charter. Tesla sent me a document, which I uploaded in an earlier post (https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/attachments/wall_connector_ratings-pdf.466816/), but the inspector...

@Graycie, just noticed your sub...does that fit into where the stock one would go (vs. the sub-trunk area)?

No rattling from mine. That would P me off.

Thanks for the general feedback. Would love to know your assessment after the retune (which I haven't done myself yet) and, especially, activation of the rear shelf speakers!

As my wife likes to say, I usually have buyer's remorse before I even pull the trigger on purchases, but no regrets at all on this one. I still enjoy the sound system on every drive, and it's led me to expand the genres of music I listen to as everything sounds better!! I didn't bother going...

June 2019 when I took delivery, which seems like an eternity ago now!

Thirds for Kal. Went to Costco (for the first time ever) with the Tesla to save a few bucks and what a royal PITA. Took me 3 trips to get them to finally install tires onto my rims, but had to take the rims to Kal to mount them on the car. Because the downtown Vancouver store had never done...

Nope, no issues at all. I was waiting for the 12v issue to crop up again for the longest time, but nothing. Just watched a nearly 2 hour movie "idling" at the kid's practice with the heat on, etc., and no issues. An extra bonus to having the speakers installed that I would never in a million...

Not what, but whom...electricians. The first one told me I only had 10 amps free, but I find that hard to believe. The wanted the work, so though, I'm inclined to think there was something to it. They That said, they didn't check the "face plates" of the big appliances...instead they only...

Fair enough. I'm running into load calculation issues for a <2,500 sq ft house with 200 amp service (but with all electric baseboard heat and no gas). Didn't catch you were moving INto the house. May be able to wrap a 200amp service upgrade into the rebate (if required and the price is right).

Unless you really need to add some miles in a hurry, you could just use your mobile charger with a 14-30 to get the charging speeds below and call it a day. I'm going through all this hassle to do just that (upgrade to a 240 volt, 30 amp breaker).

Curious if they made you stick a 100 amp breaker in the panel because the Charger can be dialed up to 80 amps, or if it's just my inspector saying that's a requirement. Edited to add: Just saw a response from an email I sent to Tesla this morning with the attached document that provides...

I know they don't talk about having to be purchased in BC anymore, but I wonder if they'd give you grief about a US purchase, particularly if no PST was paid (a trip to the USA, for example, where you pick it up from a PO Box and cross back into Canada using your personal exemption). I'm...

Guys, please tell me you're being facetious. Up here in Canada, 90%+ of drivers always use hand signals, even when their turn signals are working, but especially when parallel parking or backing into a parking spot. Are you trying to tell me that drivers in NY or LA aren't polite enough to do...

I came on here because I thought I was on drugs. I noticed that the turn signal cuts off if you're going from drive to reverse (or vice versa) or if you hit the brakes while backing up. Thanks to this thread, I realize I wasn't hallucinating and it's clearly a bug that--to the OP's...

I think it depends on when the wall outlet was installed. If it was installed before September 26, 2019, those expenses won't be covered: Eligible chargers must be ordered, purchased and installed on or after September 26, 2019. You have 90 days from the charger installation date to submit...

Not BC Hydro. Either a municipal inspector (if you're in one of the "bigger" cities) or Technical Safety BC (if a smaller town): Contractor authorizations and permits. Apparently, a lot can turn on the interpretation of the individual inspector.

No issues if you've got enough room in your panel (or you get a different inspector!). I don't blame the rebate program for that one.

Just thought I'd pass along a heads-up I was given by my electrician. You need an inspection to get the rebate, and, apparently, the inspector is saying that because the Tesla wall connector can do 80 amps, the panel needs to be wired to support the full 80 amps, even if it's dialed-down...

That's a great point I didn't even think of. Thanks for pointing that out!

Pretty quick delivery for the Tesla charger (I stuck with the 25 foot cord based on the advice in this forum, as I notice the shorter one is back in stock). Ordered: Oct 9th Shipped: Oct 10th Estimated Delivery (to Vancouver): Oct 15th Just FYI.

Interesting. I'd have considered getting the JuiceBox in the USA, as it's cheaper and would give me more flexibility down the road. But my Tesla charger shipped today (not that it offers any benefits over the UMC for me--since I'm limited to 32 amps at the panel), and I figure ifI need a J plug...

Sounds like it's a one-stop shop with your utility: "The CleanBC Home and Workplace EV Charging Program is being administered by BC Hydro and FortisBC in their respective delivery areas."

List officially updated to include the Tesla wall charger...https://www.bchydro.com/content/dam/BCHydro/customer-portal/documents/power-smart/electric-vehicles/eligible-EV-charger-list.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3tXRvfRQC_bY-wBd8_SxdRICIs0KPYCbEhx9kobxmfU0668Xkf-rSoDZA Now I just need to hear back from my...

I didn't make it that far down the FAQs! :-( Since they haven't provided any guidelines as to what purchased in BC means, and the Tesla adapter is only sold online through Tesla, I just can't see them causing us any grief, particularly after their "good news!" tweet. I just don't think they...

It's gotta be. That would be worse PR than keeping it off the list. Put it on the list, but it's not actually "purchasable" in BC, so therefore doesn't qualify when bought through the Tesla site? I think they've got that language in there to be able to point to this program helping BC...

I assume the $350 "matching" $s from BC Hydro means the $350 base rebate is available too? I just notice it's only a BC Hydro tweet. I'm sure that would be the case, but was wondering if anyone saw anything from the BC program itself.

Well, Son of a Witch. I'll be eating a big ol' plate of crow. Hats off to @PatriciaKuang (and others!). I wouldn't have called this about face. BC Hydro on Twitter [Edited to update link] Now I have to get on the blower with my electrician and order the charger before they are sold out!!

My electrician was supposed to come by today, but needed to clear an issue with the permit (whether conduit would be needed to physically protect the Teck 90 cable from a weed whacker--I sent pics and waiting to hear back), so we are aiming for tomorrow. I just checked and it looks like a J...

Betting your charge time is even slower than my 120V outlet with that setup. ;-)

I think if they list Tesla, they'll allow an online purchase as there's no other way to buy it, the Gov't is getting their PST, it's clearly "authorized for sale" in BC (since it's being sold by Tesla directly) and I'm sure it meets all of the safety standards. That said, I think they'll take...

Hmm, BC Hydro says we should hear more by the end of this week. My electrician is coming out on Wed to stick a plug in so I can use my UMC. I can't imagine the Gov't changing its mind, but...

OMG! I see you're in Canada. Far enough East that I wouldn't be passing off if I shamelessly stole your idea in YVR? That is awesome!!

If you go that route, would you just leave the Tesla j plug adapter installed on the wall charger? Does it just "lock in" so that it's as seamless to use as the mobile adapter? I don't use my j plug adapter, so wondering if I'd even notice a difference going that route vs. using the mobile adapter?
