So my iphone updated last night to ios 17.1.2 and my phone connection to the car is broken again. This is so aggravating.

I don't know what to tell you man, but it has been hell ever since I did it yesterday late afternoon. The connection between the car and my iPhone got severed. So, at least for me, I am never doing this again.

For future reference this is how I fixed this problem: 1. Disconnected bluetooth on the car and on the iPhone App. I told both the car and iPhone to forget the device. 2. I logged out of the iPhone Tesla App. 3. This is the most important part. I UNINSTALLED THE APP FROM MY IPHONE. 4...

Hi all, Today I had to reboot my iPhone 14 pro (volume up then volume down then hold the side button) because it was laggy. Now the iPhone doesn’t work as key. I went ahead and deleted the phone as key from the car menu. But when I want to add it the car tells me to open the phone app to do...

I searched for water spot remover and found this thread. My problem is water spot on the frunk lid that has PPF. I went to one of the chemical guys store and tried the attendant tried their water spot remover but it did not work. Probably because the frunk lid has PPF. Do you guys know of any...

I have the option to take mine in for service, but I have yet to do it. When it stops working, then I will take it in.

Hi folks, i must have hit something on the road that did the pictured damage to the wheel of my 3 Performance. Any shops that have worked on your rims that you can recommend? I am in the LB/OC area.

I have to agree about the randomness and maybe inaccuracy. Today, for example, I drove for 22 minutes to Dr office. I stayed there less than an hour. When I got back to the car, it lost 4% points not for "stand by" but for the screen staying on. Now, I know that the screen was NOT on for that...

I want to update this thread. I didn't agree with any of the suggestions given about the apps because I KNOW that the car was going to sleep and I KNOW that TeslaFi doesn't wake up the car when you look at the car on their website. I do KNOW that Stats does wake up the car and that is why I do...

I do not have EAP or FSD so I do not have smart summon.

I only run TeslaFi and Stats. I hardly use the latter. TeslaFi tells me that the car is sleeping. Is it easy to disable the link between the car and the apps? Will simply changing my Tesla password remove app access?

Hi all, my 20 M3P is losing 23 miles of range between charges. I charge once a week at work and I do not have a plug at home to use. I live in an apartment. I have turned sentry mode off, cabin overheat off and I hardly ever check the app so as to let the car sleep. I know the car is going to...

From what I have read, Tesla is saving $114 per car by removing the USS. I do not know if that amount of money saved justifies the removal of the sensor or not.

The 2020 Model 3 Performance is the only model year 3P that has three separate ratings on the fueleconomy.gov website. One for 20 inch, 18 inch, and 19 inch wheels. All the other model years of the 3P have a single EPA rating. Does anyone know why Tesla did this for one model year only? Does...

I have a 2020 Model 3 Performance. I have been running on 18 inch wheels with 255/40 tires. I have been forced to switch (damn nail in the shoulder of the tire) to the stock wheels and tires (235/35/20 with only 500 miles on them). On the 18 inch wheels, the car averaged about 285-290 miles per...

My 2020 M3P sat on 235/35/20 wheels/tires. I monitor the max range using the Stats app. With 170 miles on the odometer, the range at 100% was 297. Close to the 299 that Tesla publishes for my car. At 500 miles, I swapped to 255/40/18 combo. The range jumped to 317 miles @ 100%. That is a solid...

I just have a question about the legality of what Tesla is doing here. I bought a car with radar installed and functional for AP use. Tesla is taking a function from my car that I bought and paid for. How is that legal? Especially since there was an increase in complaints following the removal...

So just move the stalk to low beam or do I have to go into the screen submenu to do that?

I just got notified to update my 2020 3P to 2022.20.9. I live in SoCal and I will annoyed by 1) windshield wipers on Auto (I have mine on off) and 2) high beam on at night when using AP on the freeway. Anyone who has vision only found a way around these two limitations? If I am on autopilot, can...

This is my M3P after two years of ownership. Started life @77.22 kWh nominal and declined to ~72 kWh by the first year (red dot) and stayed @72.5 kWh by the end of the second year. Degradation is around 6%. I am ok with that.

I contacted Tesla service through te app about this issue. After a lot of back and forth, I was told that this will be fixed in an upcoming firmware update. I do not know if the person corresponding with me was truthful or not, but that is my most recent update on this issue.

I owned a Golf TDI and a Honda S2000 before I got a Model 3 Performance. So far I have tracked the cost per mile for 7000 miles on my Tesla. The cost per mile is 3.82 cents. The comparable cost on the Golf TDI was 5.97 cents/mile when diesel was at its cheapest and 9.40 cents/mile when diesel...

I hope someone finds a fix for this soon. I called Hulu multiple times and they do not have a fix at all. I love watching Hulu while I charge my car at a public level 2 charger. It is a damn shame that this has been going on for so long.

Thanks for the heads up. I have my torque wrench with the right socket in the trunk. I will rétorque after a few hundred miles.

The 66 mm center bore is a bit larger than the 64.1 mm hub on the model 3 Performance. They fit perfectly despite that. I would have gone with custom ones like you did. I did that on my old race car, but I saw no need for doing it with my road car.

I have a 2020 Tesla model 3P. I am running after market 18 inch wheels with 255/40 tires. I wanted to push the wheels out away from the control arm at the front but I wanted to keep the stock studs on the hub so the thick 15 mm spacers from Blox were out of the question. I found these great 5 mm...

If you want to keep your stock rims then the highest side wall you can get is from 255/35/20 tires. I am told that these fit without rubbing and do not confuse the onboard electronics. That size should give you +9.4% side wall over the stock tire. You can't fit any other tire with a higher...

So what is the tallest tire that will not confuse the computer or rub on the control arm? 27 inches?

I am bumping this up from the dead. I would like to ask why no one is using a 245/40/20 on stock 8.5 inch rims. Is the 40 aspect ratio problematic? Will it rub on the upper arm? Will it confuse the computer? Thanks

Wow, my 2020 Model 3P does the same thing. The wheel is turned all the way right and foot on the brake and I get a loud creaking noise from the front right suspension. When my foot is not on the brake, there is no noise. I do not think that is normal at all. I made an appointment for the 23ed of...

This just happened to me. And the powering off the car and hitting the brakes again worked. A full reset did not work. How odd.

@AlanSubie4Life I have another question if you do not mind answering it. Is the 71 kWh size of my battery the usable size? Does it exclude or include the ~3 kWh buffer beyond driving to zero miles? TIA

Shouldn't the number for the 2020 on 18s be 241 wh/mi? Because you typed 241.6 but the tables you posted say 241 in that column

Can you please explain the math to me? Specifically where you got the 245Wh/mi from? Is that a constant number for all 2020 model 3 performance on 18 inch wheels? The second math line I am familiar with as I have done it before at slightly lower miles on the car. TIA

Hi @AlanSubie4Life Can I get an estimate on the current battery capacity in kWh of my Model 3 Performance on 18 inch wheels? I have these screenshots: one from the car display and one from Teslafi the last time I charged to 90%. At 100%, Teslafi tells me that my rated range should be 294 miles. TIA

It is my understanding that ALL Apple Watch apps cause the car to stay awake. People do not notice this because they do not have TeslaFi. I didn't notice it either until I signed up for TeslaFi this May. I still have the Stats app on my iPhone but I am not using the watch app or the widgets on...

I have Stats on the iPhone and on my Apple Watch. Recently, I also signed up for Teslafi. I noticed that my car keeps waking up and doesn’t have long sleep periods. The idle time was sometimes higher than the sleep time. I had vampire drain of between 5-10 miles per day. Roughly 1-2 kwh. I did...

I have an OEM set of 20 inch 8.5 wide and +35 wheels for my Performance 3. I am looking for a set of tires that is wider with more side wall than stock. What is the maximum that I can get away with without rubbing or confusing the traction control? I read parts of this thread and the consensus...

You nailed it. I did change my wheels and tires from 235/35/20 to 255/40/18 and I did that right at the 500 mile mark when the range jumped. Can you explain to me why that will impact battery range? Thanks. The car is a 2020 3 Performanc.

Can someone explain the odd battery curve that my model 3 Performance has. This data is taken from Stats app. It starts with around 297 miles with a full charge which is normal given the 299 epa rating. Then it climbs high to above 315 which is not normal, then falls below 294 and now it has...

It is now scheduled for 2022. It keeps getting pushed back.

Well my model 3 P exceeds both Edmunds and EPA numbers. I am getting 4.07 miles/kwh. That comes out to 24.57 kwh/100 miles. It is much better than what Edmunds or EPA get in their cars. I am sure is I run the car out of electrons I can get around 300 mile range out of it. I drive mostly freeway...

You don’t have to lift the car sky high, just enough to remove the wheel. I have the jack and the ratcheting wrench and I was able to life the car with no problems. On the other hand, the telescoping lug nut removal bar is a waste of money. I added my own torque wrench to the kit.

i agree with you on this point. I have AP only and I don’t activate it in the left most or right most lanes. I only use it in the middle lanes. In the left or right most lanes it tracks too close to the wall or the edge. I am uneasy about using it in these lanes.

Does this behavior go away if we disable Automatic Emergency Braking?

Hi all, I am now in the final phase of making my M3P track ready. I have done the wheels and tires, the PPF and tint (to protect paint from track debris and from the hot Buttonwillow sun). I have narrowed my search to Carbotech XP 10 or XP 12. I have a lot of track experience having raced door...

Correct me if I am wrong, but I will need spacers with the hub centering rings on my 3P. I cannot run the hub centering rings w/o a spacer. I have to run both.

i had the same experience with the plastic rings for the wheels on my old race car. I had to chisle them off the hub. After that I raced the car without them. You just need to be careful how you tighten the lug nuts on the studs. Use a crossing pattern, tighten by hand and then torque them to...

you got me, I should have said math. Thank you for the help.
