    Is there anyone who drives the Tesla 3 Standard Rear-Wheel Drive in winter conditions such as in the Prairie Provinces of Canada or the US States like

    I've done 4 years with RWD and X-ice 3 in Central Alberta. I can make it up most hills except when it's iced over, snowing and below -25C. The properties of ice and snow change at low temperatures, so I can't make it up a 10% hill to my parking spot. I have to spend an extra 3 minutes going...

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    Yes, I've tried every version with multiple OSs. All of them are not closing the drives properly. I'm down to the last permutation of version/os and I'll see if going back to postgres 12 instead of 14 will help.

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    Does anyone know why Teslamate is not closing drives? It looks like the data is recorded but split up into thousands of 15 second drives. The teslamate logs look like this: So, the drives show nothing but the trip shows fine. The effect is that efficiency and many other panels that depend on a...

    Tesla scan on 120V charging in cold weather

    Here's a new 120v/12A charging test at -25C with the battery chilled for 2 hours from a 30 minute/16km commute. The plug is a standard outdoor 15A block heater plug. Constant power is applied at temperatures lower than -17C/0F instead of our facility's 30 on/ 30 off cycling above that...

    DIY Harness vs aftermarket front dash speakers

    Why waste your time? You can get the same harness for $35. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B099R8F92B/

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    Anyone getting intermittent 540 server errors? My setup hasn't had reliable data since around Sept 30th. I'm running the latest 1.24.2 on a GCP E2 instance. All the containers have been updated to the latest versions using the "advanced setup", but I'm on Postgres 12 instead of 13.

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    It's interesting that they used 2 colours for the 8 pin connector. Since all the colours for the speakers are the same, maybe that's why the polarities are messed up...

    Tesla scan on 120V charging in cold weather

    24F still won't affect charging. A quick search for the weather in Quebec City shows a normal low of -17C in January, so here's the closest charge I have. It shouldn't be significantly different. Notice that the first 15 minutes or so, the slope of the range increase is nearly flat. Then...

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    Good to know I'm not the only one. It looks like several other people have notice the decrease in bass and maybe Hansshow will admit there's something wrong with the DIY harness.

    What causes an undriveable vehicle?

    My 3 SR+ became unresponsive after parking and getting out of the car. The car responds only to the driver's side door handle with a "use keycard" prompt. Pulling any other door handle does not elicit a response. Neither does pushing the trunk button. When using the app, it will flash the...

    Tesla scan on 120V charging in cold weather

    What's your definition of cold? 30F is warm. At that temperature, there's no effect on charging. You should still get around 5mph/8kmph. It's only when you get to really low temperatures, like below -20C that it makes a difference. The rapid decrease in range is from pre-heating.

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    It looks like they are following Tesla's lead. They are iterating quickly and pushing out the product without testing it. Let the users figure it out. :rolleyes::eek:

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    Maybe it's just me but I find the sound is be a bit degraded. The 4 speakers give the sound a nice higher sound stage, but there seems to be significant loss of bass from the front door speakers. I hardly notice the sound from the rear speakers. You do know that "bose" speakers are garbage...

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    The plug with only orange wires goes to the driver's side and the plug with different colours goes to the passenger's side. The removal of the console carpet bugs me the most about Hansshow's video. It came off like it wasn't even attached. Then, the installer just pulls the wire loom across...

    Upgraded SR Partial Audio to Full Premium

    So, the basic harness does not contain the 12v & ground wire, despite what the install instructions say. Does this mean that an upgrade to another package will require a new harness?

    Cabin Heater in Blizzard

    I have an SR+ so the useable is 49.8kwh with a 2.4kwh buffer, according to scanmytesla. I'm going to assume cabin heater shuts down at 0% because I've drained the battery down to 2% and the heater was still working. It took 53 minutes to charge at 6kw with a Tesla charger at a random mall to...

    Range depletion due to low temperature

    Do you have winter gas in Finland? When the gas chemistry is changed to winter gas here in the cold parts of Canada, ICEv mileage goes down 10% before the effects of low temperatures is added.

    Cabin Heater in Blizzard

    The car was pre-heated to 21C. Then, we drove to and dropped off the kiddo at Montesorri. That involved a 15 minute break from driving. Then, we drove to work. Normally, it's a 35 minute drive but a combination of low temperatures and snow increased the commute time to 75 minutes. These 10...

    Cabin Heater in Blizzard

    Here's a snippet from a trip I made on the coldest day of the year. Car shows a temp of -32C, hvac set to 18C, 3 fan, both seat warmers on 2 bacon. In 10 minutes, we managed to travel 100m. Average power usage is 5.28kw and an estimated range of 95km... although it would take a whole week to do...

    Range depletion due to low temperature

    Wow, most of you live in really mild climates. Here's my range chart. The minimum is -35 because the lower limit of the most available sensors is -40, and it's never gone above 35 here.

    SR+: Long Range Mode Engaged (aero cover swap)

    Traffic data source?

    Cold Weather Range Reduction - This much?

    Looks ok to me. There's a lot of power used to heat up the cabin and higher speeds uses more power. I find that pre-conditioning at low temperatures increases efficiency by up to 20%.

    First automatic wiper review

    Dumb question: If the learned pattern is messed up, is there any way to reset the learned patterns? I was stuck in traffic where part of the windshield was iced over. This required extra "wipes" even though there was no snow. This has resulted in an unusual wiper pattern where many passes are...

    GPS position off by 400m

    Does anyone know why my GPS is off by up to 400m (1/4 mile)? I thought the GPS accuracy would be low after long periods of idling or parking but it seems to happen after as little as 30 minutes as well. It eventually settles down to the proper position but seems odd to be off by so much.

    Leave car plugged in at home when not away for a few days?

    18% decrease over 56 hours is incredibly high. It should be closer to 11km/3%. Did you power off before leaving? Over long periods of idle time, the car seems to be offline/asleep 90% of the time and is online for 3 hours every 18 hours.

    Trunk water diverter

    It seems some people have been complaining about water draining into the trunk. The vendors in China have been listening and now you can buy a diverter that looks like a tiny spoiler. Ebay seems to be the cheapest at US$37 while Aliexpress vendors are charging up to US$90. For Tesla Model 3...
