    Dashboard water intrusion model Y

    I'm happy to report my water intrusion into the cabin by the passenger kickplate was fixed by my local SC! We did get more heavy rains in December in upstate NY and no more problem!

    Dashboard water intrusion model Y

    CLPE, my 2023 MY (one yr old now) just had this issue. I took it into my Tesla SC describing just what you described, and they fixed it under warranty and gave me a loner MY for an afternoon. They said they found "water ingress behind cowl and performed retrofit. Tested to confirm water ingress...

    Rear Defrost Model Y

    nrushforth, you don't need to wait for a frosty morning. Turn On rear defrost, wait a few moments, and it should be warm to the touch laying the palm of your hand on it.

    Rear Defrost Model Y

    Yes, the partial defrost area in T3SSY's image is normal. As MattM24 stated the top lines are antennae from what I've read.

    Thank you Morpheus84 for taking the time to post this helpful topic! I followed your steps on my 2021 Model Y LRDM and got the rear defroster to work. This Tesla community is the best!

    Frosten [frosted] headlights

    I'm in Upstate NY and will try applying RainX on my headlights thinking the frost can simply be wiped clear with a cloth or glove. Works fine on the windshield.

    2 USB Ports under screen not working

    Here's a follow-up note on this front USB port issue. I took delivery of my Model 3 on March 15, 2020. Within two weeks my front USB ports would cut out, at first while supercharging. After a while or overnight they would function again. I had a mobile service visit in July where the Tesla Tech...

    Boombox

    I agree the Driving Sounds should turn Off at the 18.6 mph (30 km/h) specified by the NHTSA for EVs. My M3 plays continuously at all speeds. Perhaps this will be addressed in the next Firmware Update? Until then I'm leaving mine OFF.

    What kind of Wh/mi are you guys getting?

    I use saddle (or cradle type) mounts that attach and are easily removable on the Tesla Model 3 Roof Rack. I keep cockpit covers on to reduce wind drag. I would estimate total range of about 225 mi the way I like to keep a safe cushion of charge. I base this estimate on driving 65 mph highway...

    theHave had my 2020 M3 LR Dual motor w/18" wheels since March 2020. I Love it! I admit to some (well many!) launches showing off. never gets old! My drives consist of highway going 65-70 mph, some county roads going under 55 mph, and lately highway trips with two 14.5 ft kayaks on the rack (as...

    Contractors who use the Model 3

    I use my 2020 Long Range Dual Motor Model 3 for my GIS/GPS Consulting work. Here's a photo at our Albany International Airport at the main runway approach centerline. This day I was GPS surveying to mark out obstructing trees for removal. A C-130 Hercules is on final.

    2 USB Ports under screen not working

    No charge. Covered under warranty. I took delivery of my Model 3 on March 15, 2020. The Tech said if the front ports completely cease to function in the future they will replace the faulty parts at no charge. Great service by Tesla!

    2 USB Ports under screen not working

    See my post #17 so I don't repeat. The Tesla Mobile tech came this morning right on time. He had pulled my past vehicle data prior to coming so he had access to things about my Model 3 that I never knew. He determined that the electronic fuse (or circuit breaker) trips on my front USB ports and...

    2 USB Ports under screen not working

    I must have posted this elsewhere but thought I should report my experience with the front UBS ports cutting out intermittently here. My 2020 Model 3 Long Range Dual Motor was delivered March 15th. My front ports have cut out during Super Charging (but not every time), and when the inside cabin...

    Pictures of all Model 3 Colors options

    Here's my Deep Blue Metallic 2020 Model 3 Dual Motor Long Range on the upper Hudson River in NY. On the racks are our two Tsunami 145 kayaks that we are about to launch. At 50-60 mph I saw a real time average 245 Wh/mi during the 90 mi round trip so no noticeable hit on range with the kayaks up...
