    3000km in a Model 3 - the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    On the trip down, we were driving through persistent rain and I chalked the camera errors to that. On the way back, there was rarely any rain or dust at all, AND it seemed to be with the left-side cameras, so looks like a camera-specific issue than a conditional issue. I'm starting to do the...

    3000km in a Model 3 - the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    That entire stretch of highway where issues occurred was unrestricted/delimited. The navigation engine had it mapped correctly as such - shows circle with 3 gray stripes. In some parts where I had the errors, the overhead signage were like these with temporary 80 limit-- not bridges or...

    Phantom braking is the biggest issue with AutoPilot.

    @Kitfox the detective can look at this too bad the dashcam doesn't overlay any information like speed, but here we were going 136kmh on the left lane, and suddenly it jolted down to 110kmh by the time i glanced down at the speed. often, cars in the adjacent lane would render as skipping in and...

    3000km in a Model 3 - the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    Finally made the trip back. STATS: 2300km, 5-10*C dry & light rain, 2 days, ~200kg vehicle load, 455kWh, 197Wh/km (316Wh/mi), 5 SC charges per day, 140.50 EUR spent, 30.9cent/kWh, 6.1cent/km GOOD: drivetrain error never came back; confidence restored handling feel more stable - no getting...

    Scariest experience! Car suddenly stopped while driving!

    I was actually 2000km away from home, on the freeway, near midnight, single-digit temperature, in a country that does not have a Service Center. So it was definitely bad news.

    Scariest experience! Car suddenly stopped while driving!

    Same thing happened to my new car. The first message is "power reduced, exiting/reentering car may restore operation", which is about the strangest way to resume from some sort of drive failure. Then it said it lost a motor, and then shook and shuddered and completely lost all drive. I...

    Model 3 Performance steering way too quick?

    Previous car ran 225/35/19 front with 245/30/19 rears. Smaller wheel, but slightly less front sidewall height compared to Tesla. The steering is nice for in-town and rural road driving. The source of the thread is some portions of a highway drive where the car was getting whipped around in...

    UK to France road trip - how accurate is the ETA?

    Thread old but I'll add my 10 kronor: 1. ETA of long trip more dictated by personal factors like breaks, and unexpected errors like traffic and closures, than speed-based time that most nav system predicts. 2. I really couldn't get abrp to actively route and travel along the journey. I could...

    3000km in a Model 3 - the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    What I did was a soft-reboot (2 buttons). And then a hard-reboot (2 buttons + brake pedal). The US Tesla operator instructed me to do a power shutdown through the computer, which I hadn't heard about before. And supposedly it relates to 12V battery, so you may be right. I'll take it to a...

    Model 3 Performance steering way too quick?

    Those other tires were definitely engineered with more sporting intent. They were also rated for speeds 3 classes higher. The Hakkas definitely has lower roadholding in constant radius turns. But what surprised me was on turn-in, instead of being squishy and lagging the steering input, it...

    Model 3 Performance steering way too quick?

    Didn't have a problem with previous winter tires: Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4, Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D. Same tread depth. Similar sizes. Although they are not this extreme in the class.

    3000km in a Model 3 - the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    "AUTOPILOT" Failures and Annoyances. PHANTOM STOPS. Whatever the cause (bridges, trucks, change in mapped speeds), it does it often, and it is ultra jerky. At 140kph it jolts passengers awake, pissses off other motorists, and is just plain unsafe. TACC hestitates on lane changes. If...

    3000km in a Model 3 - the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    Hi folks. Long time listener, first time caller, with a 2020 Model 3 Performance. I put 1000km on my new car in its first month, doing everyday duties in Norway. It worked well. Then I took it 2000km+ into Europe over 2 days, where I learned lots. To skip further preamble and to the...

    Model 3 Performance steering way too quick?

    Anybody feel that the steering and the front end change of direction is extremely quick, to the point of being nervous? I'd only driven it in Norway, where the roads are cold and wet and slushy, and I accepted that grip was low. But I took it across the continent where its much drier and the...

    Supercharger Szeged

    Never? Budapest is always clogged in the city. We charged today at Torokbalint/Budaors/Auchan. Actually quite a bunch of stalls but most had the cable bagged up - they were out of service.

    A weekend trip to Pardubice in Czech

    Had no issues charging at Vestec. Although had a hell of a time finding hotels with destination chargers that met our other criterias. And since most only have 1 or 2 chargers, was worried that they would be occupied. I learned simply to arrive at hotels with ample charge, fairly close to to...

    Hello from Derbyshire UK

    I bought some accessories, which I turned out not to need, so jumping the gun was a bit wasted. Metal pedals = ended up ordering Performance instead of LR Dead pedal cover = car came carpeted over the dead pedal Side sill plate = car already arrived with one :)

    Autopilot dangerously reducing speed on highways

    Would be awfully nice to have the option of a classic cruise mode. The map-based sudden decel is extremely aggressive and very dangerous.

    2020.4 Anything New?

    What's strange is that the phone can unlock the car, but it won't allow motor to start. That's what makes it frustrating.

    3000km in a Model 3 - the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    A few last oddities from my notes: Trip computer is cool, but why no average speed captured? The trip computer efficiency reading does not match up with the Energy graph reading, at any of the 10/25/50km marks. Typically 3-10wh/km delta. Freeway with solid barriers obscure truckers lights...

    3000km in a Model 3 - the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    NOT SO GOOD: Half the time, car demanded a keycard to start. At home, this rarely happened. Car is quite noisy at speeds. In Norway we only drive <100kph. We discovered continental cruising at 130kph is not so fun due to wind buffetting. Efficiency drops precipitously with speeds. This...
