No need to disable anything in the car. Just uncheck the following on teslamate and the car will sleep like a baby

nope, i'm on 2020.8.1, no change after the upgrade

graphic comes from Teslamate application

Hey, After reading some posts that explained how recalibration actually works, I decided to give it a try. In essence, the idea is that when SoC is above 85%, the computer will try to discharge VERY SLOWLY the cells that are overloaded. This will, in turn allow, for a better overall charge of...

reading your post. Very good info. Regarding the balancing procedure, it says it's able to correct 1mV difference per day of balancing... do you have any idea of the order of magnitude these imbalances can be? By the sound of it, it would seem as if it may take weeks of the car to be idle to...

Excellent idea! Would it be possible to filter based on car model?

I charge on my heated garage up to 90% and leave it plugged in. for daily use rarelly goes below 30%. I do a road trip twice a week that requires supercharging from 20% to 60%. I did notice that the range estimate gets a bit crazy when I supercharge at subzero tempratures compared to a more...

Me too. Unfortunately, according to the SC, the displayed range has nothing to do with temperature or driving habits, just the multiplication of EPA rating * available capacity in KW also, it's on the Tesla support page: Frequently Asked Questions Why is my displayed estimated range decreasing...

I have a june/2019 build and my graphic looks like yours, my range is down to 219 miles. Temperature has nothing to do with the range estimation provided by the car, the battery is just degrading "normally" according to the SC. What you see is the car doing EPA estimate * usable battery capacity...

Same for me, June 2019 car, I get 222 miles at 100%

buy TSLA stock and let FSD pay for itself with the profits, when FSD is ready for prime time

update: got an answer from the service center: my car throretical maximum capacity was and is always going to be 380km Cars from nov 2019 onwards have had their motors changed and the new ones are more efficient, not going to happen to mine So, as of now, I have 6% degradation after 6 months...

Well, I think this settles the question then :(

Thanks foir the analysis. I have used other means to estimate the battery capacity, and I reach the same conslussion as you: my cars has between 49 and 50Kwh of battery capacity as of now: TeslaMate shows, for each supercharging session, the start SoC, end SoC and KWh charged to the battery...

Well, i'm not worried, I just want to understand how can I, a regular customer, know when and if the battery of the car goes past the threshold the vendor set for warranty. This is what Tesla has to say about the displayed range: Range "Displayed range in your Tesla is adapted based on fixed...

Well, if the capacity reported by the car is not trusted information, how do we check that the capacity is above the contractual obligation signed by Tesla (i.e. warranty)? BTW, as far as I can tell, that same diplayed range value is used by the service center. They never mentioned any other...

The question is the following: -I bought the my Tesla Model 3 SR+ back in june 2019, it has around 20,000 km now (13,000 miles) -Back when I bought it, the displayed range was 380km, as advertised by Tesla at the moment of purchase -Later, as it can be seen on the Tesla site nowadays, the EPA...

my car is mid june 2019 and those bushings are a lot more rusted than yours, but it looks superficial and it's sandwiched between two rubber bushings, so doesn't look worrysome

in my case, with 40.2.1, what is does as soon as I hit the road and engage AP is to: -for 3 to 5 seconds slowly zig-zag, like an oscilation, maybe 10cm to each side -for 3 to 5 seconds, drive straight, no problem -start over I also got quite a bit of phantom deceleration back, and now in the...

any comments regarding the free, hosted in your own computer, Teslamate?

My car is July 2019 and thunks very happily when supercharging and when changing altitude According to the SC they will pay for everything, but the noises may not completely dissapear

ok, this is weird. After several back and forth via SMS, service center agreed to do the job, but charge me for "diagnostics" Some more back and forth texting and now they agreed to not charge for repairs, nor diagnostics, nor parts. The only caveat is that they say yhis could improve the...

I got my rattles fixed under warranty by the mobile team a couple months ago. Is it different now?

MAny of you seems to have experience the upsetting noise while supercharging on cold climate or changing altitude. The good news is that Tesla is aware of it, has a service bulletin and a procedure to fix it: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10163736-9999.pdf The not so good news is...

chill mode gets saved as part of the profile, so you may create a profile for her... but then, that starts to look like entitlement to drive the car...

I read somewhere here that it happens when there are many files on the USB drive. As I was having many blackouts, I tested pulling out the usb drive and it solved the issue. I checked the USB drive on my computer at that time and I had around 3Gb of video. DEleted everything, inserted clean USB...

I had a similar issue and the mobile service just loosened the two bols holding the "metal loop" in place. Then you can move it around and tighten again. pretty straightforward.

Model 3 here. Works very well during the day and very bad during the night.

I would also pay up to 1000$ for lane change, don'T care about any of the other features of FSD package at all

all good ideas. this would be my first Tesla-equipped-winter, so i'm not sure I understand the idea behind "turn on chill mode and low regen, along with the super nanny-ish traction control setting." can you please elaborate? how about using the rain detector to detect that the car is covered...

All major manufacturers will be playing catch up for the next 5 years. As soon as Tesla does it, the competition only needs to copy and/or steal it and try to capture the market I think we should expect them to do some pretty crazy things, marketing-wize, and many of them have deep enough...

That's also my point of view, so far.

They wouldn't dead-end their software revenue. First, they are charging money in any case for AP with all purchases of M3-SR+ and better. And it seems logical to me that they will start charging a subscription based service for OTA's, for anything else than bug fixes, possibly as soon as next...

let's be realistic, in 5 years, when I go out to buy a new car, there will be other Tesla alternatives, either new companies or giant automotive companies that would finally wake up. when that happens, wouldn't it be nice for Tesla to know that I have a transferable license worth 6k$ or much...

well, the thing is that Tesla is not really so much a car company company as a software and car company. as software becomes more and more important in terms of purchase decision factor, the cars are going to be seen more and more as tablets on wheels. Microsoft has been doing the...

as much as I dislike the idea of vaporware, and I think it's even detrimental to the brand name (and stock) I would most probably buy today the FSD option if it were transferable to new Tesla in the future. On the Tesla side, not only they would receive 6k$ from me today, but they will also...

That sounds a lot like a startup company value proposition, but is hardly the only or the best way to back technology advancement. A more standard way would be to get company stock, as it has been done since capitalism exist: if one believes in the company value proposition, buy a chunk of it...

i do not see anything that justifies FSD at current price tag, much less 1000$ more expensive. Chances are, you will get a new car before you can see any real FSD happening, so instead of paying for FSD on this car, put that money on TSLA and get it back when you buy your next car

Our EV is propelled by water moving turbines

I'm always surprised of how sturdy the glass roof of this car is

where I live, and using the car as I do, my differential fuel economy comes to about 3000$ per year (taking into account aftyer paying for the electricity required) , if i compare my model 3 to an ICE with a 8 L/100km fuel consumption. I plan to keep the car for 10 years. That's 30,000$ in fuel...

as a bonus to starting the car with the app, you can also control media playback from the app (play, pause, FF, etc) but yeah, we want camper mode.

well, if my math above is correct, and the worst case impact is 0.4% or less, i doubt you can actually measure the difference. Tarmac temperature and wind will have much greater incidence than that, for example.

you are correct. In the other hand, making some of the battery power unavailable to the drivetrain just in case the AC is on seems like a weird design decision for a performance oriented car, hence my worst case assumption.

so, the AC motor and the drivetrain motor take juice from the same battery and power supply system, so in theory, there might be some incidence, as the AC might be using some current that would otherwise be available to the drivetrain. now, in the case of most electric cars, the AC seem to...

No, they will not cover the cost for stone chips any more than they would cover cracked windshields. I wouldn't trust a film protection to cover for rock and salt during our winters, but that's me

I opened a "case" with Tesla thru the app here in Montreal specifying it was paint chip problems. A few days later I was called directly by the body shop. In my case I declined as I decided to fix the chips myself using one of those "all in one" chip paint fix pencil like applicators and some...

why not invest your 3k$ in TSLA stock instead?. If they do come out with a reasonable FSD software suit, their stock will double or triple in no time. You can then sell your stock and possbily get FSD software for free or pretty close. If, in the other hand, they can't deliver on their...

you sir, are correct. For some reason the trunk is more reliable than the doors. Same symptoms here since 2019.24.4. what DOES work better now is that I had never needed to reboot my phone again since 2019.24.4, but it's still finicky: -sometimes it works flawlessly, either to open the door or...
