i have 48k miles on my Tesla Model 3 (2019). Still have the factory tires on board. I am looking to change and have been doing some research on replacement tires. @wingnutsglory how are you doing with your P Zeros? I am looking at the P Zero AS Plus Elect but the reviews seem mixed so far...

thank you.

Thanks that helps. I think that I'm a little anxious about range if I get caught in a snowstorm or something like that. additionally, I've been reluctant to get the car under 50%. It really stays within that 60-80% range. After reading this, I might just go ahead and let it drop to 40...

Thanks. I think I used it last year on the night that I got iced out, but I resorted to just about everything - a little defrost, a little super heat. I know that the defrost takes care of the windows, but I didn't know it took care of the handles as well. (Now that I think about it, I...

This is interesting. I've noticed this after every update. it usually settles back to normal after about a week.

Does Defrost take care of the iced door issue? I had that problem at 4 am last December. Outside temp was 16 deg F and I couldn't get in my car. At the time I just remotely turned the heater on and it resolved in about 15 minutes. If I know that Defrost will do this, I'll precondition...

Hi, I have owned my Tesla for two years now and I have been meaning to ask this question. I charge my car to 80% every evening before going to work and leave it plugged in on weekends. I have a Tesla wall charger. On days when I know that it is snowing or if the temperature outside gets in...

One thing I would caution is to see what happens at certain temperatures. For my car, when the outside temp dips to about 42 deg F, the fantom battery drain appears to be higher. At work, if I get there early enough I can park in a garage, which keeps the low to about 55. Outside, I have to...

Portable Vacuum Cleaner. I found the "THISWORX" brand to work best. It's available on Amazon. It fits perfectly in the trunk and has a very long cord so that you can vacuum the back. Suction is very good.

I’ve been reading your post on several occasions since you first placed it and have grown more comfortable watching my M3 2019 siphon it’s range from 310 to 299 after the first 3 months, then to 285 by February, returning to 295 by mid august and then in 24 hours last week dropping to 271 where...

Truly interesting post. I can confirm that the whole BMS, Battery issue is very confusing. I've read some very "heady" articles on this subject and this weekend I was able to try out your method. A little background. I took delivery of my car in October, 2019. I would charge to 90% daily...

I've heard Elon criticize LIDAR but wouldn't radar be a necessary redundancy when visibility is zero?

Thanks. Also not a fan.

Thanks. I'll let you know this weekend when I will finally get a chance to take a look at it.

When will they be voting on this?

Jason, I was talking about the Basenor as originally posted by the OP. I didn't see any instructions in the box. Not sure if that's the norm.

Hi, After owning my M3 for a few months I want to add a tint. Tint will include a clear front and tints on the sides and roof. After doing a lot of research I have settled on a Ceramic tint due to the heat rejection and non interference with radio waves. I originally thought that the 3M...

I got these as a Christmas gift, but I haven't installed them yet. Do you have to drill a hole to get these in? Or is it just removing grommets? I would be super afraid to drill anything on this car.

I believe it's a software issue. I had the same thing happen when I crossed a certain area on the way home. Exact same area every time; so many times that I deemed it impossible to be a coincidence. I think something in the algorithm is awry because all of the comments on other forums...

Good to know. Thanks.

I'm no expert here, but read the thread with interest. I have found that there is a sweet spot for heating the car without expanding the kwh burn rate extensively above 300. If I preheat the car (unplugged) for approximately 3-5 minutes to 70-71 deg F and drive the car at this temperature...

THANK YOU SO MUCH. You solved most of my recording problems. I have now left the camera on all of the time and I've had no problems in Sentry mode anymore. What a Revelation! I wish I had known about this before. I also noted that the battery didn't drop further than 3% over a 10 hour...

Thanks for sharing this. I'm so sorry that you have to go through this. I am about to send a card of gratitude to my original salesman who said to me and I quote: " I made sure to go through the entire car to make sure that there were no paint scratches or anything that you might find...

Interesting suggestion. Have you ever used Snow tires on a rear wheel drive car, or front wheel drive car for that matter? I have done both on my Acura's and on both occasions I still ended up stranded; and one time in a ditch. It wasn't until I had a 4 wheel drive that I had no problems.

I have to admit that I was impressed by both the build and paint quality of my M3 purchased in October. After a few washes however I did notice a few lighter areas, but really nothing as egregious as some of the earlier models I had seen and to be quite honest I was really being picky and...

Washington State limited their tax rebates to EV's under 45k. It was great until I found out that it was done deliberately to fend off M3 AWD purchasers. The assumption was that if you could afford a car >45k you didn't need the credit. Mind you, at the time the car was 47-48k. They also...

Wow. I thought that Sentry recorded with movement near the car also. I had no idea that the car was supposed to keep recording forever. My problem has been getting the dashcam to show up at times. I have noticed that with preheating the car off the charger, ie coming from work, when I open...

A few thoughts on 40.2.1: 1. Chill Mode appears to be capped. I checked that I did not set the cap, but while on the highway, I actually floored the pedal, which is something I have never done. I noted that the speed increment was miniscule and it took forever to get to 70 mph. Checking...

Beg to disagree. It worked for me last week.

+1. I got this last night also. Had a feeling it was a software glitch.

Just reporting that the tapping trick worked for me last night also. However, I regret downloading it. Regen braking is much lighter and less aggressive than it was previously. I honestly liked the aggressive braking. Additionally, the car appears to waver and feels less stable with this...

I'm not buying one, but I know there is great interest. I think that this is Elon coming from dinner.

Are you allowed to drive without side mirrors in California?

Not an expert, but I think that if you parked your car in a very busy place, especially one in which people are constantly walking in front of the car (if you backed in), then Sentry Mode will basically go nuts trying to capture everything. Had something similar happen to me last night at a...

I ran into this post on the official Tesla board today. I have no idea if this is a valid email (noted spelling errors and grammatical issues) but I thought I would include the link for reference. If true, then it might (with the main emphasis being on weather) account for what we are...

Nope!

I was a big Carplay supporter before I got my Tesla. However after a trip in California with a rented Rav-4, burning up 20 gb of data using the map software over 4 days, I became a distant supporter. Additionally I was not very happy with how difficult it was to shut off the message app when...

Mmgh. Will have to try this out again next week. Thanks

Installed 36.2.4 last night. Still looking for a return of my range to 310. 6-8 weeks out and my SOC 100% is 295-299 after 36.2.1 and beyond. That's not degradation, that 's software. Would love to have CAN data to see if additional 2-3 kw were added to the buffer or a change in the...

LR AWD Birthday 10/2019. Was 310 @ 100%. (Supercharged once, Regular charge to 100% once). Usual charge to 80% daily or every 2 days. Now 295-299 @ 100% after 10.36.2.1 (Definite correlation) (2000 miles). 6 weeks old.. Not Happy !!!

Has anyone else noticed int 36.2.3 that Scheduled Departure is flawed? In 36.2.1 it would start the charge at around 4 am, complete at the set percentage, and then heat the cabin just before departure. In 36.2.3 as soon as I plug the charger into the charge port it starts charging...

New issue noted in 36.2.3. I tried the Scheduled Departure yesterday. I plugged in the charger and it previously started a "mini charge" and then would stop until about 4am when it progressed with a full charge to my usual 80-83%. Following the update to 36.2.3 the "mini charge" essentially...

Would have to disagree. I went down a hill today and the regenerative "power" was much less than in .1 Additionally, the car is taking a little longer to come to a complete stop.

I'm no battery expert but I think that the numbers that you have given, especially with the slow speeds, may reflect heating the cabin among other things. See if you have all 3 fans on when you turn the heater on (also reduce fan speed to 3 or below) and also set your temperature to 70...

I downloaded a day ago too and have to admit that there is a decrease in regen braking. I got used to the .1 version, but this is okay.

Apart from the seat warmer which I found quite nice for the Tesla Preconditioning, is anyone finding the Tesla Departure program better than the one found in the Stats App? For one, the Stats App can be altered on the phone, whereas the Tesla one cannot. Additionally, I charge my car to 80%...

Sad to hear. I've been seeing 1-2% on some boards for range loss over 1 year, but I'm not sure that with BMS recalibrations anything is sacred anymore. Maybe Stats App is the only accurate source here. Interesting to note that I have begun seeing a 1% variation in Stats App percentages...

Marcus, Not to beat a dead horse on this, but I lost 5% in 6 weeks. Your numbers equate to 6% in 12 months and 8% in 36 months.

Please please please let us know if you had Range issues, has it been corrected with this update? Does the range correct to 310 or 325 if you were previously seeing 299/300? Thanks.

Interesting thread on the Tesla boards: Range On Model 3 Reduced.... | Tesla It seems that the range loss is a universal issue. It's not the weather. Hopefully this will be fixed. Stats App is showing that there is a trickling of 36.2.2 and 36.2.3 coming to Model 3's. The majority are...
