    Power trunk retrofit causing car awake

    Glad i found this thread. Retrofit done a little over a week ago. Immediately the climate control stopped working after picking up the car. Drove back to service center and they put me in a loaner and before i drive off, i messed with the app climate control and then it started working again so...

    Gender?

    In the current USA, it can be whatever you want it to. You just have to identify it as that! My 2 Teslas are “it”

    Maybe I’m overreacting?! 😱 [first curb rash]

    I personally dont find the wheels easier to curb than any of my previous cars that had low profile tires. 2007 C230 2010 is250 2011 vw gti 2013 bmw 328i sport 2019 TM3 19 inch wheels All eventually got a little curb rash from me being too impatient or misjudging a curb. Thing is, i would...

    Waiting Room for MYLR/MYP: Aug 2023 orders

    Ordered a MSM MYP with white interior from inventory on friday evening 1 SEP. Picking up 3 Sep in Burbank. I cant believe how much cheaper they have gotten so far. I test drove about 1.5 years ago and was quoted ~ 75k out the door. Now here we are about to pick one up for a few hundred more of...

    I need to charge - Big Bear

    No i didnt dip below. It was slow and steady in some traffic and had to use brakes occasionally due to limited regen.

    I need to charge - Big Bear

    Right. I was replying. The person quoted.

    Used 2021 Model 3 or new

    For 6k I would probably think hard about it. I mean, EAP is 6k. 22 would come with heat pump, heated steering wheel, power trunk, new center console, matrix head lights, bigger battery, black out trim if thats your thing, lithium 12 volt and a warranty reset. Id probably do it if it was only...

    Goodyear Comfortdrive for Model 3

    They were $219 a tire $876 before taxes, fees etc. The total was around $1200 but I also opted for the tire replacement certificates which was an additional $122. There was also a $75 mail in rebate.

    Goodyear Comfortdrive for Model 3

    I just had these tires installed. I also have the 19 inch wheels and got 48,000 on the original continentals. The tire rep at discount tire seemed surprised I got that much as he says he usually sees 20k or so miles on model 3 cars.

    Are you planning to own post-warranty?

    I will own mine post warranty. I have 46k miles right now. The thought has crossed my mind to get a Model Y Performance but after test driving, i feel i need more of a change to happen before I replace this car, like true range of 350 miles or so. I also have EAP and radar as well as homelink...

    Loose threads on the dashboard mesh

    I havent had that happen but last year chasing rattles i broke the clips on that panel removing it. The part cost me $44. $47 and change after taxes so no expensive at all.

    How I Recovered Half of my Battery's Lost Capacity

    I now have a displayed range of 288 miles at 100%. Up from 256 from APR 2021. This proves to me that the BMS can be wild with what it displays based on charbing habits.

    Repeater camera feeds are mostly useless when turn signal is on at night

    I unfortunately didnt take any pictures. I was a little excited to get them fixed and put back in the car.

    Repeater camera feeds are mostly useless when turn signal is on at night

    I fixed them. I took a dremel to it with with very small cutting wheel and made a small rectangle instead of 2 holes. Gave me plenty of open room to work with and I applied tape over the holes and the mating surface glue on both cameras. I then sealed the cutout with silicone. No more glare. Im...

    Repeater camera feeds are mostly useless when turn signal is on at night

    Saw this as well. Im glad the reason has been properly identified. Now i just have to find a clever way to get access to the pcb without destroying the camera. I don’t want to drill a hole.

    Navigation map plus and minus buttons gone

    It seems to keep the zoom with the pinch method now. It will do autozoom out and in when on route guidance and go back to your pinched zoom once you cancel a route.

    Tesla inconsistency and timelines for PTO...

    Wow I wouldnt expect it to take too long after submission. My PTO was submitted by Tesla yesterday and this morning I received a confirmation email from SDGE acknowledging receipt. A couple hours later, I got another email saying PTO approved. I waited 4 hrs before calling Tesla. They updated my...

    Tesla inconsistency and timelines for PTO...

    Finally got the automated email saying submission to my utility company and thr text as well. So Im confident PTO is finally submitted after passing inspection back on April 13th. I may give SDGE a call tomorrow just to verify they see it. Hang in there guys.

    Brake Dust Brand New Model 3 (Help)

    I have never had brake dust with this car. None. Mine is a 2019 though so im not sure if pad changed or something in later cars. Could be driving habits as well because I rarely use the friction brakes and when I do, it is light braking.

    I received a call today from someone at Tesla apologizing for the delay and backlog and was given $70 store credit which i used to purchase 2 tesla t shirts. I appreciate the effort.

    Tesla: Please fix the stinky AC - here's how with an OTA update

    Unfortunate that this is the first car it has happened to you in. I have had it in past cars. A quick search on the web shows this is fairly common with most makes.

    San Diego to Phoenix Any Recommended Supercharger in AZ?

    I have done this trip. It was easy and a non issue. I let the car pick the stops. Superchargers are well placed along the 8 freeway so you have options.

    Tesla inconsistency and timelines for PTO...

    I feel the pain. I think I am going to call tesla after the holiday weekend and ask them to send. Me everything I need to submit PTO myself. At this point, it would be cheaper to eat the application cost rather than continue to pay my electricity bill every month. Insp has been complete since...

    EAP upgrade coming back

    Bought EAP last time around. Would buy it again. I still think it should be around $2500-$3000 in my mind. I use dumb summon alot, NOA with confirm lane changes i use on highway trips of 50 or more miles. Smart summon works well for me but I dont use it as frequent because I can walk to the car...

    What should I do with my Model 3?

    I suggest selling it. Paying over $1000 a month on car payment for a car I really dont need would give me regrets too. There will most likely be better improvements on newer models in the future, so you can better plan your future purchase to avoid having such a high payment which should lead to...

    On the door, when you say clips, do you mean the ones that hold the door card on along with the 3 screws?

    Buy Homelink or wait for Wi-Fi?

    I love the homelink in this car. I paid the $300 and im happy with it. Never liked the visor remotes but i think that would be the easier and more convenient choice rather than an app.

    My layout was complete 7 days after ordering online. This was Jan 7 and Jan 14. Install was done April 13th and inspection a day later. Still waiting on PTO. According to my power company, nothing has been submitted for that. Been dealing with Tesla over the last month trying to get them to...

    Referral Program [tesla did not properly credit referral miles]

    They probably used someone elses referral code. My SA did give me a code to use when I bought mine and once I took delivery he asked for my code and next day I had a referral.

    How I Recovered Half of my Battery's Lost Capacity

    Update 2. Now 241 miles at 90%. After letting it drain down to below 10% and charged back to 90. It is slowy going up. I think i have peace of mind now that the range is ok. Dont know if I will continue not charging daily since its just an inaccurate display which i prefer to have than doing...

    Tesla Model 3 Is MotorTrend’s Best Compact Luxury Sedan Of 2021

    Title should just be “one of the best cars ever period”.

I dont consider myself a Tesla loyalist, hell, I ended up...

    How I Recovered Half of my Battery's Lost Capacity

    Ok, so I let it drain down to 8% over a course of 4 days and then recharged to 100%. Displayed is now 263 miles at 100%, Up from 256 miles last week. Will keep the updates coming.
  46. Gizmo35

    How I Recovered Half of my Battery's Lost Capacity

    I decided I will let it drain down to around 5% and sit for a couple hrs and recharge and let it drop to 20% a few times before recharging and see if anything changes.
  47. Gizmo35

    How I Recovered Half of my Battery's Lost Capacity

    Yes. I have charged to 100%. I did that before my trip last weekend. Car sat at 100% for about 3 hours before I departed on my trip.
