Did you get this resolved ? The same thing has happened to me. I've had the car 4 years and sentry mode used to come up with the red HAL eye when you left the car and it used to record even people walking past. Now since two car park scrapes it doesn't seem to record anything even on an empty...

My trunk lock failed three days ago so I scheduled a service appointment after looking at the threads on that issue. I can only open the trunk by crawling inside and pushing the manual slider. Having just done so I heard the water sloshing about as you have all described so I now suspect that...

I run a 12 yr old Mercedes alongside my Tesla and agree with points made above about realizing how filling up with Diesel is now a messsy annoyance compared with plugging in at home every three or four nights. Same with long journey fill ups - so much nicer to plug your car in and then go for a...

Just went out for a short drive and found the bettery had charged to 100%, presumably after the update. I haven't been on any long trips for several months and the charge limit had not been changed from 75% for ages (UK lockdown means I cannot go anywhere). Annoying to find that the car has been...

My rear lights are the same. Bought the car Sept 2019 Booked a mobile service to replace them but they looked at the pictures and said they were normal. Excuse: Led lights do not generate the same heat as old bulbs etc.. it seems Tesla defines normal differently to most of us. The fact the mist...

How many electricians take a core sample and decide on a second rod thoufgh?

Some of the above comments suggest that a matt.e might fail but an earth rod will always work. How about a dry summer , ground shrinks and very poor earth connection with dry soil ?

I kept trying with different addresses and finally found one just a quarter of a mile away that it accepted- and there I could book a mobile service -- for 12th March. So the service person would presumably have been able to do the same. Conclusion, after thorough scientific testing, that it is...

Just had the same problem of not being able to enter any nearby address (near Basingstoke). I called the Brooklands centre but was answered (after a long wait) by a person in Park Royal. She said the location issue problem was known. However I then proceeded to try and book the service with her...

Anyone tried the voice command 'call 01234 567890' ? It stops after the 9 and tries to call, leaving the final number, zero in this example, displayed as zero. Unsuprisingly it is set up for US ten digit numbers and misses the 11th digit in the UK. Annoying as few other voice commands seem to...

A lady lectured me recently on the environmental impact of the Lithuanium batteries....

Running costs have been the biggest nice surprise for me. We traded in my wifes car for a model 3 and I kept my good old merc 320 clk for long journeys. At least that was the original plan. Now after 4 months and 6000 miles the merc is just the spare and we always use the M3 for long journeys...

Is that an error in their last sentence ... 10 to 25kwh difference?

Thanks - I would never have found that, there seem to be no instructions apart from a picture in the lid.

Received my Model 3 fob yesterday. I had many of the same problems as others with my phone working intermittently and then found that, when wet, my card sometimes took an age to connect via the door pillar. It worried me that I might not get in at all at some point. Anyway the fob seems to work...

A rust film forms on the bare steel disc..if you live near the sea on a windy spray-filled day you can see it form within an hour or so. Brown rust instead of shiny steel disc. The rust must act like a weak glue around the pads if they are pressed against the disc.

If it helps we put private plates on our SR+ which we picked up in September. Tesla will make the plates up for you but will not register it with those plates. It's a bit of a hassle - but all online - as you have to 1) Insure the car with it's Tesla plates in order to collect it 2) Drive home...

Wipers and auto lights are the only real weaknesses but on any safety evaluation you have to say that, wipers particularly, are seriously bad. Her in the UK we get a lot of light rain/drizzle and the screen can be completely covered and opaque well before the auto wipers kick in. So you are...

Sounds similar to my problem and I cannot make out whether it is my car or a normal M3 issue. I'm used to quality modern cars easily keeping a steady temperature once warmed up - so I do not have to thing about touching the controls at all on a long journey. However the M3 seems to be always...

I would prefer to spray them with a colour match - any idea if I can get Tesla Red spray can anywhere? I dont really want to ask a body shop to do it as I suspect a high price.

They are fairly rigid... not rubbery at all.

Just received my RED mudflaps. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07WHBVBV4/ref=pe_3187911_189395841_TE_3p_dp_1 They look well designed but DO NOT BUY THE RED ONES! I expected a paint match to Tesla's one and only red colour but the flaps were more a scarlet colour and looked awful agaimnst my red M3...

I too worked through this problem and eventually realised that I could either have albums nicely sorted as per this thread OR, as I have many compilation albums for both classical and contemporary music, I could get the artist split - but I could not get both. Making all artists the same sorted...

No Heated seats and 20c - it was a warmish wind so, with battery warming I suspect not much extra heat needed.

@Troy Excuse me if this has already been covered but I guess you have noticed that the few Model 3s in your survey seem to figure disproportionally in the low outliers in the 0 - 8000km range. Of the 8 lowest points, 6 are model 3s and the three lowest are all Model 3 P. Given that the battery...

Drove my new Model 3 SR+ Farnham, Surrey to Ilfracombe, North devon two weeks ago, mainly down the A303. Averaged 47MPH (a good run, I do it often) for a 165 Mile/ 3.5hr journey - wind against and dark with rain for the last hour over Exmoor. Started at 100% and arrived with 10% charge. On the...

Incidentally -where did you read about the wave/ripple effect in the manual? I cannot find it....

Thanks SMAIset that worked! I must practice my button pushing technique. I found that I did not have to hold my finger to the right as you suggest though but had to be patient after the wave/ripple as the icon did not immediately turn from red to grey. I guess that what I was doing before was...

Am I alone in having trouble pausing the dashcam? If it is paused, with a grey dot, then one press gets it to record - no problem. When it is recording - red dot - if I touch it once it downloads then briefly shows a green tick before returning to a red dot=recording. If I try and touch and...

Thanks all for checking - I see now that delivery costs make it a non-issue. You have saved me from some buyer-angst as I don't like making miscalculations with my hard -earned.

Oh and that is before deducting the £3500...

If delivery is excluded I make it £39,990 for the base car inc VAT. I agree that if delivery is included then the colour does not matter. Not sure if it is or isn't

Have I made a miscalculation in recently buying a red standard range plus? The £1900 price for the red paint seemed OK at the time as I love the colour, but, looking at the Vehicle Excise Duty it seems that after a free first year I will have to pay £310/yr because the list price is over £40k...
