Great news!

Apparently you are one of those people that doesn't bother to read. This is not warranty related, it is an insurance claim and thus that language you quote is not applicable. Many insurance policies specify new replacement parts only. Read your policy.

A retrofit steering wheel with just a plain old button for steering wheel heat could work just fine I would imagine. I think the airbag integration will be the tricky part.

I never got any of the updates for several months after buying my car. Only after booking a service appointment in the app did they remotely force the update to happen...since then I get updates at regular intervals. Give it a month then book a service appointment in the app.

Is that new or changed? I remember having to use the card on the console before.

I went to drive to the store yesterday. I had to leave my phone at home on the charger as it was nearly dead. I accessed the car with the key card on the door pillar then drove to the store. Halfway there i realized I never tapped the card on the console to turn it on. What gives? Anyone...

Outside air temp means you had heat running and @123kmh your consumption would be significantly above rated even without the heat running. Sounds normal to me.

My 2019 sr+ was able to show 385km (240 miles) when first delivered. After 10000km I now show 366 at full. We don't do a lot of long drives, but today I was able to drive 370km on one charge on the highway. When I arrived home I still had 41km remaining for a real world range of 411km (257...

After hold mode came out, my car moved uphill (forwards) in reverse gear with accelerator depressed, so that would be extreme unintended acceleration as it's negative to the selected acceleration. This was repeatable because the manoeuvre I use to drive down my driveway and then reverse into...

I have a SR+, and I've actually never seen zero regen dots, ever. I have a theory about this. I think maybe the software is the same for SR+ and LR. Obviously with motors on both axles and the bigger battery, the LR is going to always have more max regen available... Hence why it seems the...

I can tell you it takes only about 1 hr labour for a short simple run. Give them 1 hr travel time on each side, anything over 300 for labour is unreasonable.

I don't understand chill mode. Isn't it better to have the power available in the unlikely event you might need it versus not? You can just drive yourself in chill mode. There would be no difference in efficiency unless you're driving it around floored all the time, which isn't good for...

That sucks. But to be fair it's not like she was being super careless...the wind just did what it does. If it was me and she did the right thing and left her info, I probably wouldn't blame her....but of course she didn't so a little harder to feel sympathy.

I bought 19s from PMC tire for my SR+. Mounted with Pirelli cinturato. Bought new TPMS, but if you're pulling your 18 Michelins to put on them you could recycle your stock TPMS. One of the new mounted TPMS didn't function and PMC wasn't very helpful in dealing with the problem...so on that...

ICBC is now subsidizing the cost of optional insurance with your basic premium, thereby making private insurance non competitive. He'll it'll eventually be 2000 for basic with 1 dollar collision and comprehensive. Our insurance system is a joke!

Don't ever buy extended warranties. They make money for the companies selling them, which means you will statistically lose money buying them... otherwise they wouldn't be selling them.

This is so badly needed it's not even funny. By my estimate there are thousands (hard to say how many thousands) of Tesla's in the greater Victoria area. This really doesn't needed to be an expensive Capital project for Tesla. A small two bay Garage would be a huge start! According to an...

With 1 child you don't need a minivan yet (or ever). We had one for a spell with our 3 kids, but it just wasn't necessary. If your wife is going to be on Mat leave, I'd look at downsizing to 1 car for that year. While it's no Tesla, I'd look at buying a lower trim of a Hyundai Ioniq ev. With...

Chademo is level 3 DC fast charging, and currently the only non-tesla option when you use the chademo adapter.

Chademo adapter. Available on the Tesla store.

Life is way too short to waste that much of it commuting!

If you're pushing the range I wouldn't have the cabin set to 23C and auto! 19C and the seat warmers should be plenty comfortable! Make sure AC is off too unless you need it for fog on the windows.

Definitely was there before 2020.4 on my SR+. Mid December, 2019 IIRC.

I had an i3 before my model 3. I wanted electric and had an early reservation on a model 3. Ended up getting highly frustrated with Tesla when they opened ordering to everyone before working through their reservation list. Picked up a used 2014 I3 and put 15000kms on it before getting my...

Charging lower won't help longevity or electrical consumption measurably as compared to 80%. Maybe there is some tiny effect, but I think it's far more valuable to have the range availability for unforeseen circumstances than try to save on .001% of degradation.

58 plus 12 percent tax don't forget on the used one! Government gets to rob you every time.a car gets resold.

Never insure anything you can afford to repair/replace. Extended Warranties are insurance, and therefore probability is that you will pay more for the warranty than any repairs made under the warranty would cost... otherwise they wouldn't be selling them.

Ah, that makes sense. Man, all the different iterations and now model year differences must be a real bear for the software development team to keep track of.

My understanding was that changing the wheel size on the service menu affects the displayed rated range. On my 2019 SR+, there is no change in rated range when I change the wheel size...so what gives?

You have to think in terms of what you see vs what the computer sees when you try rationalize some of the odd behaviour of autopilot. I have experienced the left turn thing as well and it was starting...but think about it...car is traveling 60mph and suddenly there is something (the turning...

Someone mentioned it sort of already, but by setting your charge limit to 80 or 90 (whatever you like) and your scheduled departure time as your leave work time, this MAY work, but depends on off peak algorithms that might force the car to charge overnight at home. Give it a try.

Used the email and got ahold of somebody. Finally scheduled for February...only 5 months after delivery. Hopefully Tesla can get their service together as it's only going to get worse as volume deliveries continue!

Had an issue since taking delivery of my model 3 in October. After waiting 5 weeks for a mobile service appointment, he finally came and needed to order parts. He said it would be 1-2 weeks, and it has been 4 weeks... haven't heard a single thing since then. I have no contact information for...

I have R241s which have been on and off a few times due to a TPMS issue and the bores and neither too tight or too loose...just riiiiight.

Until you have to pay for it (which I will).

Really happy with these on my model 3, I got the 19s.

Don't think there is any increase in charging speed for long range...so presumably he has a long range variant.

I have had a SR+ since early Oct. It was delivered with v10 software which had the streaming music Netflix etc enabled. Despite no info, I knew it wouldn't last but was happy to pay for the service. No satellite maps or live traffic, but if that's included all the more reason to subscribe...

What's the deal with this is Canada? Anyone heard anything?

The computer is on and all cameras are always recording. The ”event” triggers a save of the previous few minutes to sentry event folder. If there are no events, it is still recording and saving the videos when sentry mode is on. Other than the flash of headlights and screen turning on...

You parking brake only locks the rear wheels, while the foot brake does all 4. If you are in slippery conditions once you put it in park and release the brake the car has lost 50% of its traction...if the rears slide the front will roll.

It'll take a while to charge at 0.25kw;)

Had another hold bug today, shifted into reverse on my uphill driveway and car continued to roll forwards uphill. Hit the brake to bring it to a stop...release brake and it moves forward on its own uphill like it's in D and creep mode, kept doing this twice until I applied accelerator to...

Speaking of the bug, I experienced it the other day leaving a parking lot. Inching forward on the downramp from the curb. Rear is on the downramp, front tires on the level road surface, as I let off to stop inching forward as there was traffic approaching that I had to wait for, it started...

This has been bugging me since I bought my SR+ a month and a half ago. The accelerator seems a bit sticky, as in the hinge mechanism at the top of the pedal. The return spring (or my foot pressing it down) easily overcomes the stickiness but it results in an annoying jerkiness in the pedal...

Power only uses more energy (battery range) when you USE it. 5% more power would only affect your range if you're using it, ie. flooring it 100% of the time. In any event, this will only affect your actual range, not the displayed rated range. Man it's frustrating reading the same discussion...

Ugh...why can't I get this update already?!

I fit the mounted Aeros and tires in only the back seat (with seats down) as the trunk was full of something...lots of space!

Did not work for me!

It seems silly to have the 6am finnish charging deadline. If you want to avoid peak rates schedule charging, if you want to schedule departure I should be able to set that to whenever I want... I work shift work and we don't have peak/off peak electric rates here in BC.
