Closing comments on this issue. (six month update) I now have FSD back and being without it for about three updates makes the improvements that much more impressive. Tesla Anchorage sent a tech to Fairbanks (365 miles) to service ten clients. He pulled into my driveway and quickly fixed my...

New hitch. No FSD because camera needs calibration. OK I can do that. When calibration finished I attempted FSD only to be told it now needs camera alignment. I have contacted Tesla Anchorage and they are looking into it.

Today, three weeks and one day from it's departure from Fairbanks to Anchorage, I have my car back. The App info indicates that the problems reported were fixed via software. No other report from Tesla service. The only charges were for a requested tire rotation and a small fee to calibrate the...

I got a date! 3 May. I was instructed by remote service in Anchorage to use the app to schedule transport. I naively thought they were hinting my turn was close. The app scheduled us for delivery to BC, sone 2000 miles away. This caused roadside central to dig into the problem. They extracted 3...

New symptom: FSD is broken. No turning to destinations or stopping at intersections. I held off as long as I could approaching an intersection and hit the breaks full on. Skated all the way to the intersection. It was going to blow the stop. How might this be related to the laundry list of...

Is there a chance that these problems stem from the dreaded 12 volt battery issue? It is three years old and I have heard stories.

Sunday update. Last night I plugged in, and no charging. I made room in the garage and after seven yours of warming, charging started as per normal. So cold and snow are confirmed as causative players in this fail.

Temps went up to 40 F for a day. Ice fell off the car undercharged and I decided to try the charger. No joy. But when I checked the app in the morning, it was fully charged. Morning two and it charged again. I am still in line waiting for a tow to Anchorage for service. All the software and...

Shocking update! Temps warmed yesterday to above freezing. I decided to just try again to get the charge going. When first plugged in, it registered 0 power draw, but I decided to let it stay in this "charge" state thinking I was willing to support a night of phantom charges just to see what...

The temps have been a bit below 0F. I was able to get the car to draw 7 kw in preheating mode when I attempted to heat the charge port. Charging is 240 V and draws 8 kw when charging properly. Reinstalling the software sounds like a "thing to do", but I too am confused by how I got to this...

Last Saturday (25 Feb 23) I plugged in at about 25% charge. The car failed to charge. Months ago I got a notice that "Power train requires service". I opened a ticker with Tesla service in Anchorage (365 miles south). The notice disappeared, so I was not too concerned. Now the notice is back...

Many roads in Fairbanks are assigned a default speed limit of 25 mph. We have suffered very icy roads since a bad freezing rain coating the day after Christmas 21. It makes for a rough ride and I'm wondering if fleet reporting has resulted in this limitation. Once a speed limit sign is passed...

This mornings efforts by my co-driver and wife have made me think that this is a feature. The fail is when the auto wiper runs the wipers when not needed. Today we confirmed that the wiper returns to off when FSD is exited. So this is just how it works. This being Fairbanks one might expect ice...

Gathered a bit more natural history on this issue. The wiper goes from "off" to "auto" when I touch the FSD paddle. The controls then have "off" disabled. "auto" gets screwy, I just keep it "off". Thanks for your consideration.

2020 Model 3

I have been using FSD beta for a few weeks now. Over Christmas weekend we got a foot of snow then heavy rain here in Fairbanks Alaska. So conditions are snow everywhere and thick ice on roads with pot holes covering every expansion crack in the road. My FSD performs remarkably well despite these...

I have an M3 that lives outside in Fairbanks Alaska. When the charge plug sticks I find that rocking the handle up and down a few degrees allows the pin to free up. Hope it works for you.

FSD beta for a few weeks. Since delivery whenever I tap paddle to get cruse or FSD the wipers start. They are incontrollable. No off option works. What I can do is select lowest frequency, but this is still annoying. Anybody seeing this behavior, or thoughts on how to correct. Thanks

Model 3 here with software update 2021.32.22 Went through the procedure to authorize the trial period. Car has no detectable change in behavior. Can someone tell me how to view my driving report please? Check my updated app, and can't find it.

I found another error in the data just this morning. A 50 mph road turns into a 35 mph for NO APPARENT reason. Always at the same place when going in the right direction.

I live in Fairbanks Alaska and got my mod 3 April 2020. Teslas are thin here so database is thin. I have seen it learn where a number of stop signs are. It thinks that the speed limit on Goldstream road is 45 mph. It is in fact 55 mph. When it sees a speed sign it will allow the car to go 55...

Thanks. I was concerned that the solution would make me feel stupid. Well, it did. I was simply opening the door each time I attempted to close it. I think this may be a mechanical joke.

This is the only fault I have detected in the few weeks of having this car mostly parked in my driveway. These two hatches will not stay closed. Feels like a user error, but I'm failing to figure it out. Any help?

Looks like she finally got some sleep. Reported temps must be from yesterday. Is there any provision for reporting sleep from within the Tesla software environment? Thanks for the help.

Thank you Shawn. I have implemented your suggested settings and will lock the car now. Let the trial begin.

We are a software delivery away from being able to join a "train" where a group of cars coordinate to run in a high speed lane as a single unit. Lead car would be compensated for breaking wind and all in group would benefit from gang drafting. Software would maintain bumper to bumper spacing and...

I am running Teslafi and wondering if it is the source of my problems. Must admit, I don't understand much of what Teslafi is trying to report. Where is the key to their displays?

Hate to ask this, but how do I see how much my car is sleeping?

New owner and feeling more ignorant the more I learn. Sleeping and the teslafi vampire. How are people assaying sleep? Is it by sound of things in the car still running, or are you seeing it in a report? I can often hear a wine from my car indicating some function is drawing power. When a car is...

Thanks one and all for helping out. In the end I scheduled a service call for Seattle (thousands of miles away from Fairbanks) and pasted my situation into a comment field. I was immediately texted by my new best friend that it was un-stuck and should work now. Five hours later the download was...

The picture shows it all. I don't see things mentioned in the manual (scheduling clock) and it looks like it should be upgrading But it is not. What do you think?

Opening 2020 in Anchorage is only 365 miles from me here in Fairbanks.

My bright RED Model 3 LR has spent 10 days sitting in Seattle waiting to be ganged together with other cars for a shipment to Anchorage then surface (rail or truck) to Fairbanks. I'm told I'll get an email when it gets on a boat. I ordered it on the 15th of January. Seems ages ago. And who of my...

Thanks for the clarification/ reminder. Still looking for vampires.

The trajectory I see would require a left seated unsub to, lob this object up and over the front of his truck. I see only an open "down and out" sloping horizontal vent window below the main window for the right seated position. Good for you it didn't break.

I can barely make out a dangling piece of bottom trim black plastic. This will not stay on the car if not fastened back in position. I agree, the cosmetics are not great, but now you can feel the car is more "lived in", or personalized.

@AndrewGR As a member in waiting (expecting delivery of a Model 3 to Fairbanks within the week) I am so looking forward to using TeslaFI that I am resistant to your attribution based on a low data count natural history study. I have the patch kit and Bluetooth transceiver sitting on my desk...

I'm in Fairbanks, so my concerns match nicely with Canadians. Was told by email my car would be in Seattle two days ago, and they would figure out how to get it to me. And who will they tap to deliver it? Does Tesla turn owners into delivery reps? Have never seen a Tesla in town, but I'm not...

"you can see the connector" (1:27) I see a white gang socket with two, maybe three, black wires. Clarification is un-clear.

I got an email yesterday for my mod 3 with VIN and statement that my car would be delivered to Seattle today 27 Feb 2020. "Once we have payment and the vehicle has arrived we can start sourcing transport." So how do they plan to get it to me (barge to Anchorage then train to Fairbanks?) and who...

I am presently 2-5 weeks from delivery, and don't know what this means. I have no VIN and the count-down projected window of delivery is provided by automated text message that has not changed since ordering over five weeks ago. The car is said to be delivered to me in Fairbanks Alaska, which is...

I have failed to find any useful information on a trailer hitch for the model 3. Ideally the wiring and hardware would both be installed, but just a hitch would allow for a very desirable bike rack. Any links to a solution are greatly appreciated. Or stories of how you carry two bikes on or in...

Depending on wind conditions, a single snow machines can stink up a trail (entire valley) for a very long time. Here in Fairbanks (worst air in the world during a cold weather inversion event) we presently have routine wood burning restrictions. Imagine telling a cabin dweller they are not free...

As a retired "science type" located in Fairbanks, I offer the forum abundant analysis of model 3 cold weather performance. Having this adapter will allow me to prep my charging plan for delivery in 2-6 weeks. How can the delivery window open in two weeks and I don't have a VIN yet?

I too am expecting delivery of a model 3 to Fairbanks. How and when is all a black box. My concern about charging goes to what I see as an error on the adapter order page: Gen 2 NEMA Adapters Pictured are 8 different adapters, and there are 8 columns in the description chart. The last one looks...

I remember when everything smelled of cigarette smoke. Now it is so rare I can smell it a mile away.
