Last evening I got a pop up message on my phone that basically said the 12v battery had failed. When I went into the service tab in the app, there was a link to automatically schedule the appointment for it. Not sure if this is new with the new(er) software or if it's always done this, but...

Does anyone know if there exists an aftermarket small/micro display/screen that can show a customizable wh/mi? I've looked at all of the displays that are out there, but none of them seem to have the ability to show this. Ideally, I'd like to have a miniaturized Model S style efficiency graph...

TL/DR: I removed approximately 3/8” of foam from the thigh bolsters of the front driver’s seat. I realize that the Model 3 front seat comfort is a hot topic- some love them; others, not so much. I’m in the later group. The thigh bolsters push inwards a bit too much and I can never really get...

Ok, so I have been having a terrible time trying to find quality extended shank lug nuts so I can add a 5mm spacer on the rear wheels. I found a set on Amazon, but they were of poor quality so I returned them. I found these on Lug Nut Guys which look high quality, but the tapered section...

A few months ago I installed a set of Nokian WRG4 all weather tires. During that time it was around 50-60 degrees F and I didn’t notice any real change in efficiency. But now that we are into the cold of winter, my Wh/mi has gone up significantly from last winter (from ~280 Wh/mi to upwards...

I’ve been dealing with a noisy something vibrating in the back of the car for a while. I finally took the time to look around and it turns out that the rear deck (where the rear speakers are mounted) isn’t solidly mounted in there. Tapping on in, I could reproduce the sound. Quick fix- from...

Before this update, when the car was cold (below about 45 degrees Fahrenheit) I would turn on climate and my battery icon would indicate that it was warming the battery (showing the 3 bacon strips). I could also hear the rear motor whining indicating that it was producing heat. Now with this...

Are any of you in a cold enough climate to have your battery start warming with cabin heating yet? Any idea where the battery warming indicator shows up in the app? Any idea of what temperature it needs to be at before it does warm?

So yesterday, I removed the rear seat cushion to make more room to transport a couple of new chairs we purchased. Wow, you can really hear the rear motor whine with it removed, especially during heavy acceleration & regen. Deceleration reminded me of Marvin's sigh in Hitchhiker's Guide to the...

TL/DR: Apparently the HV battery will fully power the car if/when the 12v battery fails? Software: 2021.4.18.2 This afternoon I wanted to see how much current the car needed to “turn on” the car in the event my 12v battery failed. I have a really old car battery charger that has two charging...

Does anyone know if there is a difference in “sleep” mode between when the car is unplugged or when it’s plugged in, but NOT charging? Just curious as I was reading up on the BMS/battery calibration topic and wondering if it should sit unplugged or if it even mattered. And yes, I understand...

As the title states. 2019 LR RWD- looking at installing the Unplugged Performance Mild Lowering Springs. Any thoughts/experience with the change in efficiency (good or bad)? Thanks!

My Mid-Range with EAP is set for delivery, tomorrow morning from Carvana. I know it can take a few days to get the ownership transfer to go through via Tesla so is there a 3rd party app that lets you control the summon feature while I'm waiting? Thanks!

Can anyone provide what their typical real-world range is in the Mid-Range model? I know a good round about number for the SR+ is between 200 and 220 on a full charge, but I can’t seem to find anything on the Mid-Range model. I keep going back and forth between a used Mid-Range with EAP and a...

Sorry- hopefully this will be my first/only/last dumb question lol I know that range is typically less in the wintertime. I also know why this is. What I'm curious about is this: Using the SR+ as an example, someone will say that they only get, 220 miles on a full charge under normal...

Greetings all- Does anyone have any idea on the affects on a Tesla battery after sitting at 0% charge for several week? I know that sitting at 0% and 100% for prolonged periods is bad on the battery, but is there any solid data on how the car/range is affected? Also- is there a chart/app that...

Greetings, folks. I'm looking at a used (obviously) 2018 Model 3, Mid Range that has Enhanced Autopilot. I know that Tesla says that the Full Self Driving option does not transfer with a used vehicle, but does anyone know if EAP does? I'd hate to get the car and then have a downgrade pushed...
