My car is a 2018 Tesla Model 3 with software 2023.44.30.8 06f534d46010. The car has premium connectivity, whatever that is. My phone is a Motorola Moto 5 Power. The car does not have a warranty. The car has enhanced autopilot. It is supposed to change lanes but that doesn't work on a 2018...

I don't like to use my key card, as if I forget to remove it immediately, it can fall between my seat and the consul. I want to always use my telephone. However, my android phone will unconnect from the car's computer at least once a week. When it fails to work, I use the keycard. Once I do...

I really don't want a key fob as that is just something to loose. I never lock my car and try to to never leave anything inside the car for anyone to steal anymore. I learned that when someone just smashed the window on my Porsche to steal a hundred dollar item, and $1,000 later everything was...

I locked my self out with the keycard in the cup holder and the telephone on the seat. I had to find my other key card in my house to get in. After I retrived my telephone, I find that it is not interfacing properly with my car any more. I used to walk up to my car and my headlight would...

I spent a good part of my life living in ND. Many secondary roads in ND are not plowed, no sand or salt, and one get a skill for driving quickly on ice and learns what is dangerous. When the ice is very cold, traction is good. When the temp is close to melting or melting the traction is much...

Thank you ZapCarM3. Notice that Meros didn't come back on again after silly insulting remarks. I have good hearing, but still screw up once in a while. I drive many different cars and feel isn't the same in the different signal stocks. The Tesla in one of the best. I see many of my older...

I have spent a lot money on nav systems and a lot of time learning how to use them. For the last ten years I have used my telephone exclusively. I drive a number of different cars and having one nav unit is what makes me most comfortable. I have holders in all my cars for my telephone so that...

Arguing all this fault business is such a waste of time. Down here in So Cal, we want to stay alive and enjoy life. Every day I travel the most crowded freeways in the world. I watch semi drivers time and time again trying to move over lanes on our complicated roads when drivers don't want to...

I know, kverma, just where your are comming from. Tesla Model 3 is not all things for all people. Each day I walk out to the garage I have three cars to choose, Lexus LS, Jaguar XKR, and a Model 3. The Lexus does nearly everything much better. The ride is much smoother and quietier and it...

This is a perfect example of why I do my own driving. If I were driving I would be watching closely when passing a semi and I would have been on the shoulder of the road with the brakes on before he could have hit me. There is not enough time to wait and see if the Autopilot will protect you...

I wanted to buy a new Model S but had so much trouble with my Model 3 that now I will wait to see the updated version of the Model S and the price and range. I will compare it with the Lucid. I am so sick of dealing with Tesla that I will go with the Lucid if it is anywhere close in price. No...

Any accident on the freeway where Tesla will not pick up the car and the regular towing driver doesn't know how to handle the car. Glass breakage where replacement cost from Tesla is over $1,000: windshield, rear glass and top glass. Frunk lid can easily slip back and break windshield. Rear...

Keep an old MGA or some other old classic ICE car tucked away so when your self driving Tesla goes in for service for a week or two, then its back to fun driving again.

Self driving will be great for comutting in LA traffic when I can jump in and say "Wake me when I arrive".

I love my piano black consul as it has a quality look in an interior where it is lacking. My sill plates and sun visor are fine. all I need is double glass to cut down the road noise which is excessive compared to my ICE cars. I don't have an iPhone.

Raise the rear of the car and set it down on metal dollys. Each dolly has four caster so the car will roll sideways as well as forward and back. I use them all the time to move cars sidways to get them out of the way when working on them. Then when you get the car into the flat bed truck tie...

That would be no problem as Tesla is the safest car made. Fan boys assure you that it only breaks at slow speed. Remember, the advice on this board is about as good as what you pay for it.

I just don't understand why anyone would pay $8,000 for a promise that FSD will soon be available. I believe that if you put that money in Tesla stock, by the time FSD works, you will have enough money to pay cash for a new Tesla. Drive in the fast lane, auto lane changing, what a joke! I...

I just don't see any way that the rear glass could be broken as described unless the bolts that hold the brackets to the body were loose and allowed to pivot. That is a real danger in the front. When anyone tries to adjust the gaps on the frunk lid, the gas shocks can easily make the brackets...

To me it is the principal of the thing! I am going to give my Model 3 to one of my kids and buy a new Model S with the 400 mile range. I don't drive the Model 3 on trips as I don't like to drive off the freeway to find a charger in some shopping center and then lose 1/2 hr. My XKR handles as...

If one paid for Autopilot and didn't get what was promised then, when they buy a new Tesla, it should be included free. One day it should happen but we shouldn't have to pay for it two or three times.

Keith, do you have a charger in the garage? Then just set the charge to 85% to make your battery last and forget about it. It's a great car around town. I am back to driving my ICE cars on a trip. The cost for gas or electricity is insignificant comparaed to depreciation. I have to chuckle...

I usually don't care what range I get as I hook it up to the charger every night. However I do care about the range when I go on a trip, two much time at the charge stations. I don't make my driving a big game. I drive fast as it is safe and I have my mind on business matters more that I...

It is possible that the wheel wasn't perfectly centered when the car left the factory. Then it is possible that the front wheels took a hit a little too hard when it was loaded or unloaded from the carrier. This is not a big issue. The reason that taking the steering wheel off and moving it...

The track guys should weigh in on this subject. I am guessing that your Jaguar had Perelli P zeros. I have put a hundred thousand miles on them in two XJRs and a XKR. They have great grip and low noise. I am betting that these on a Tesla would out handle in every way the standard Tesla...

I was raised in Grand Forks been to Winipeg many times. How much range do you loose when it gets below zero? With AWD ice and snow shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks I read that but I just couldn't get the car to accept the third key card. I will go try again and read the manual very carefully.

Is the Model 3 limited to 2 key cards? What is the limit of telephones and or fobs?

I'm a Lexus owner and a Tesla owner. The Lexus service is better than any I have ever had. However the Lexus never breaks down so service isn't a big issue with me. It's very troublesome with Tesla when you can't talk to anyone and they don't respond when you leave them a message. Tesla has...

Marc, where did you get the 400 VDC and amp panel meter?

The DC-DC converter must run the heater, airconditioning, seat heaters and some auto computer mondules that draw high 12 volt current. Then I wonder why Tesla needs the 12 battery at all.

Marc, that was quite a report. Why did you choose this method rather than hooking up directly to the main battery? With your knowledge you have probably worked with power systems and connecting to the main battery directly should not be a daunting task. That is not for beginners but you are...

Correction, The total was 340 VDC

When I changed the pyro fuse I measured the voltage from the pyro fuse to the negative terminal and then to the positive terminal. They were about -170 VDC and +170 VDC. The pyro fuse is then in between the two half of the battery in series. They were not exactly the same. I didn't write it...

Using an old Tesla battery as a power wall is an interessting idea. The Tesla 3 battery is thought to be a 365 VDC battery. That is interesting as the Model S and X batterys are thought to be 20 to 30 VDC higher. Do they have more cells? I wonder what the capacity / voltage curve looks like...

Thank You

The bumper behind the front bumper cover part no. 1117385-00-F

Rebuilding flood cars is too much of a risk for me. I think long term reliability would be the issue especially salt water.

I think it has nothing to do with safety. The idea that a car with a rebuilt title is dangerous to the super charger or the car during charging is an insult to my intelligence. I have never heard of a lithium ion battery blowing up. it can start a fire and slowly destroy itself and may...

I don't think I will need a chademo connector because I have several other cars that I like to drive, a XJR and a XKR, when taking trips thay are very fast, confortable, and have ranges of 350 miles. I will charge the Tesla at home and drive it around our local area.

I just called EVgo and they are installing the adapters in LA but don't know when they get to us. What do you think my odds are that the charge port will not allow charging of any kind? The DC charging connector has a plug that looks like the Tesla plug with two larger contacts right below...

I want to buy front upper bumper for 2018 Model 3

I have 30 miles of range left in the battery. Are you sure that the DC won't be stopped also. If I knew that would work, then I would get a chadmoe adapter right away. Otherwise I have to flat bed the car to the DMV, 20 miles and to Tesla for certification, 75 miles. The connector would...

The upper front bumper behind the front bumper cover.

busaman How do I contact you to get a copy of the service manual? Price is no problem unless it is $3000 a year. Who has a moral problem when they have purchased a Tesla and want to work on it and they have to pay $3000 a year for manuals? I think somebody else had a moral problem. I have...

smatthew, thank you for your last post. That is the kind of information that I need. I need all that information before I trailer my car 75 miles. I want to know what issues I will be up against and prepared for ahead of time. I don't want to get rejected, sent home and have to start all...

I called The Electrified Garage and they couldn't do anything if the car couldn't be sent to them. They are too far away for me.

I was given Tesla position papers on support of a salvage titled car from mp3Mike and I think they have changed their position. I am really hopping so. I have done salvage cars before and have given them to my employees and then maintained them for years. I have never intended to sell them...

When you disconnect the black plug on the battery, the contactor in the main battery goes clunk isolating the battery from the car. I can't think of any reason why total isolation wouldn't be the case. If I can't get cooperation from Tesla and no independent for months, Than I will learn more...
