I noticed the other day that the turn signal quit working in my front right headlight. I'm out of warranty and don't want to pay $1000+ for a new headlight assembly from Tesla, so I am looking at repairing it myself. I'm wondering if this is something that anyone else has tried? I see that I...

Not quite sure what the thinking is with this charger. There are chargers in Green Bay and Escanaba, which are about 110 miles apart, which isn't that far. Marinette is right smack in the middle and isn't really a crossroads to anywhere. Not complaining, because new chargers are always good...

Sorry, I didn't poke around in the UI on the new charger. I assume that it will be a 150kw like the website claims. I'll take a closer look next time I'm up there.

Looks like they installed the missing charger. It has a CCS and Chademo connector.

Sorry it took so long to reply. I finally had time when I was up in Escanaba to get some pictures. It looks like most of the additional work has been completed. They installed a second transformer and another enclosure for charging equipment. It looks like the new chargers are J1772 7kw chargers.

@sdoorex I might be heading back up there later this week. I'll grab a couple pics.

I know that this thread has been dead for a while since the Supercharger was finished, but does anyone know what is going on with the new construction at the Supercharger? I was up there this afternoon and it looks like there has been some new conduit run from the transformer over behind the...

Esky would be on but they are waiting on parts. If they ordered parts on Friday, then I imagine they will have them on hand maybe tomorrow or Thursday if it's something that they have in stock.

I guess I'm just uncomfortable backing up with the stop going under my car. I'm sure it's not an issue.

A couple of observations from when I was there. For some reason the plugs seem shorter on these chargers. I backed and then had to move back further. A lot of people are curious about the cars up here. Just in the couple minutes that I was there, two people stopped by to ask questions.

Just talked to him again. He is at the slow charger at Quality Inn with me. He said that they are ordering parts and will hopefully have it up next week.

No. I just stopped and tried them. The car says Starting to Charge, but then fails. There was a tech there working on it. He said that it probably wouldnt be on today. He is having issues with the software.

I stopped by today and got a picture of the new horse parking next to the superchargers in Esky. It looks like the meter is installed, but I was in the wrong car to test the charger.

Yes, There is another thread tracking that one here.

He said not to quote them.

I feel like we need a camera pointed at these superchargers like the LabPadre feeds in Boca Chica.

If that is between the glass and the trunk lid, there may have been something in there when you closed it one time which cracked the glass.

Depending on what your deductible is, comprehensive coverage may cover this.

I refuse to buy these mats with that huge god awful logo. I don't want my car to look like Nascar with logos from every vendor plastered all over it. If you want my money, sell these mats with an option to not include the logo. I realize that there are aftermarket kits to delete the logo, but I...

That's probably just rubber tubing with a barbed fitting. It's pretty common across car brands. I don't know that you have to get a Tesla unique part for this. Something like this is probably all you need.

Check the incoming power connection at the charger. I've seen the terminals come loose and cause issues.

Impact. Your comprehensive insurance should cover glass replacement.

Keep in mind that cheaper tires might not be rated for the weight of the Model 3. You'll pay less up front for tires, but pay more in the long run from replacing them more often.

Just make sure that the shop knows how to jack up a Tesla. Some might not know about the jack pads and jack points.

I've seen people put a small piece of vinyl under the mud flaps to protect the paint from dirt and abrasion.

Eww, no.

Eww, no.

It works fine for me. Are you sure you have it set right? I have accidently set my departure time and hit the X to close the window instead of hitting the Schedule button.

At some point, personal responsibility has to come in to play. It's not Tesla's fault that YOU can't drive your car without hitting things.

I'm sure that there was man hours involved in troubleshooting the problem.

I didn't have floor liners when I picked up my car either and it still looks pristine after a year of ownership. You do realize that if a few grains of dirt happen to fall into the carpet, they can be vacuumed out?

It's actually just the opposite. The handles are designed the way they are for a functional purpose: to reduce drag. Tesla would remove the mirrors too if they could get away with it.

Works for me.

Mine drove fine this morning. No issues here.

This guy is blowing smoke up your ass. If this was the case, you would see heavier vehicles like trucks getting way more flats than cars, which doesn't happen. Are you driving in an area with more construction? More than likely, it has something to do with where you are driving and the...

It would be nice if we could see what is going on under the hood of FSD because I don't experience any of that.

Same here. Their first instinct is to pull the emergency release. I have to tell them to push the button instead. On the exterior, I tell people to "Push the fat. Pull the skinny".

That Escanaba charger is the one that I am waiting for. That one will let me get from Green Bay to Mackinaw more comfortably.

The white interior is the first thing that people comment on when they see my car. I think that it looks amazing and has held up well. If the seats start looking dirty, I just wipe it off. They are holding up very well.

The Model 3 was released in mid to late 2017, so yes, 2018 is early.

Any alignment shop can check and adjust the alignment, but if there are any warranty parts that need to be replaced, they would have to be done by a Tesla service center.

They do have a pretty good manual to flip through. https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/model_3_owners_manual_north_america_en.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwj-04SE0aDqAhXOQc0KHV93AD0QFjAAegQIAxAC&usg=AOvVaw2QdJTfKtqKiwp-PduDOrUK

If you're parking outside, you could also be losing some battery to the interior overtemp protection. If I remember right, it's on by default.

I have a 2020 Performance and they worked perfect. They synced up right away.

Cant wait for this charger to open. Living in Greenbay, this would open up the route to Mackinaw.

I use FSD everyday and love it. The auto lane change feels very confident now. The last time that it felt like it was unsure about a lane change was a few months ago. Even then, it was kind of rare. I love being able to just sit there with my hand on the wheel and letting the car do the turn...

I have my seat adjusted all the way down and almost all of the way back. This way my legs are almost straight out in front of me and I have a ton of leg room. My idle leg rests on where the dead pedal would be.

Dumb question, and I don't mean to sound condescending, but you mentioned that you had the seat adjusted "at it's upper limit". Did you slide it back as well?

I'm also 6ft tall and wouldn't call the footwell shallow at all. I have tons of space. I commute two hours a day and the Model 3 is the most comfortable car I've driven.

I use it with TACC in town. I stopped using auto-steer in town so that I'm not limited to the exact speed limit.
