Very interesting! Pls confirm: only the driver's side seat. I assume is connect to a fan to drive the air into the seat, and that no fan is included: pls confirm. Also, is there a special seat foam cushion that allows air to pass through it that I would need to make things operational?

I bought a sunshade from EVannex. It fits perfectly, but is huge and storage is a problem. It's made as a sandwich and rigid. So thanks for the info. I've ordered one from Amazon like the one Reefer333- posted about. Thanks!

Minor correction: It's S3XY, per Elon Musk.....

In the immortal words of the Alka Seltzer commercial: Try It, You'll Like It.

Driving dynamics also have an impact on range. Lilly Leadfoot won't get far on a tank of electrons.

Yes, i want to let off some steam. And the points I'm making have been discussed with my delivery center in Glendale, AZ. By posting this thread, maybe someone about to take delivery will be more aware and prepared better. This is my second Tesla. The first one was a new car, and we had a...

The discussion is interesting to me. BUT - I don't know if you have the right to reject delivery because you don't like the hardware you'll be getting. Fit/Finish/Condition are the main criteria, I believe.

Interesting options that you want. You can get HEPA CABIN filters for both cars, and retrofit HEPA to the MY for under $300 if you shop carefully. Someone in the Parts section has that setup for less. H4.0? I'm with you on that one. And you must mean something different when you talk about...

As a 'senior citizen', I think of the MY as a young woman (M3) that's filled out in her aging process (MY).

I started my Tesla journey with a 2019 M3AWD. My wife and I loved its sporty nature, and, with the Acceleration Boost option, i was able to put down my son's Mustang GT - to his embarrassment. However, I'm a large old fart, and my wife is my age. I always had to drop into the driver's seat...

A trip to Chicago in April for us. We had a reservation at AVIS for an ICE with Android Auto, so we could use our phones to navigate. There were five Model Ys sitting in the rental spots, and when I had tried and failed three times to find the ICE/Android Auto setup, I told the clerk at the...

Also, if you're planning to drive on an unpaved/gravel road, or go into the desert, as I do, the metal skid plates are a MUST. Not expen$ive compared to the thousands you'll $pend to fix the underside, or even replace/repair the battery. And, if it makes you feel any better, we ALL $pend too...

Yes. I bought the version that has an insulating 'blanket' that goes between the glass roof and the sunshade. That just adds a few minutes to the installation. No issues installing the sunshade except that my trim fit very snugly to the glass roof, making it somewhat difficult to get the...

I bought them to put on my M3. I waited a while to install them, but sold the car. These caps were purchased in 2020, and have a tapered edge that will fit flush with the mirror housing, I don't think there will be any gaps around the edges, but I can't be sure, since I don't have that car any...

Try a 'Wheel Bands' protector kit for $120. Enough material to do 4 21 inch wheels with a bit left over. This approach keeps rim rash from happening. I had it on my M3 for four years and it saved me several times when too close to the curb, etc. Works like a charm, and I recommend them...

Thanks for the update! It's usually something simple, yet annoying (to my wife, anyway). With the windows up, I cannot hear the noise inside the car. However, those standing next to or close to the car did and wondered about it. What I will do is to apply some narrow stick-on felt around the...

I had a mobile tech come out and install HomeLink on my 2021 MY. We talked, as we all do, and while I watched, he installed and programmed it. I asked him whether I could buy a module on the web and install it myself. His reply was no. Tesla keeps track of the options installed on your car...

Don't forget that My-Q is also an IOT application, allowing you to merge your garage door with any additional smart items in your home that MY-Q supports. That list is getting longer quickly. I found my front door lock on the list from January 2023, which is great, because it covers the same...

My MY came with the factory Gemini wheel covers. I've made sure that all of them are secured to the wheels as they're supposed to be. However, when I drive out of the garage, the wheels make noises like crinkling cellophane as the wheels rotate. I've tried again to make sure that the wheel...

I'm in the Phoenix area, and we get hot here. When I owned my Model 3, I used the black mesh version, and on a day with temp's in the 100's, it leaked heat down into my headroom. I have the white setup now in my Model Y. With the reflective foil, it does a great job. No leaking heat downward...

Better than that: like buying a car with a full tank of gas, get the dealership to charge the battery for you using their charger and the Tesla's J1772 adapter, which SHOULD be part of the purchase. Make 'em work for the sale!

I have a 2019 M3, the Bundle of Wires and a Gen-4 controller (part number -00 B), each purchased separately. When I tried to do the upgrade, I received a message saying: "Incompatible Software Detected. Car Will Not Drive. Contact your Service Center." I figured that the Software Upgrade...

Remember that CCS-1 high speed DC charging is available, but useful only on cars equipped with the right charging computer. M3/Y cars have this computer only if they were built in or after October, 2021, I believe (correct this if I'm not). But how do you FIND a CCS-1 charger? Tesla won't...

I've encountered an unusual error during the retrofit. I have a 'bundle of wires with resistors', which is a proven product, plus a Gen-4 ECU 00-B at S level PGT22326023455 and Revision level 04. I installed the upgrade and received a message: "Incompatible Software - Car will not drive...

I've wanted to travel to upstate NY in my M3 to see relatives for two years now. The specific area had no public chargers at all until 2020, when the local community college installed two 'destination' chargers with J1772 plugs. Now, the township has installed six J1772 stands in a parking...

We have a big clue: if you're going to supercharge, and you use the app to navigate to one, then the car 'prepares' the battery for supercharging. That tells you that, in the case of a Tesla supercharger, preconditioning is used to limit or avoid any impact on the battery from the higher kW...

The dash 00 ECU is for North America only. I believe the dash 20 is for EU. Look on the outside of the ECU at the label where the part number is located. To the right will be NA for North America or EU for Europe.

As long as you're set up for CCS charging, go for the Tesla adapter. It's from Korea, where they've been using the design for over two years. Check your equipment specification to see whether your car has the CCS charging capability installed. If so, you're good to go and need nothing more...

Well.... There IS a way to force an update. You have to enter Service mode and asking for an update. On the Software screen, press and hold the Tesla icon. Service mode should start up.

My biggest gripe is that all of the messages Tesla puts out are displayed on the lower left side of the display. If you're driving two-handed, then your right arm usually blocks this portion of the display either partially or fully, so you can't see the message! In addition, because the...

It will take some time before your navigation will reset. FSD Beta will come off, as it's paired with the driver of the car and their driving record. If you want FSD Beta, then you should apply for it. I'm not sure any more where to find the link to do so, but you could Chat on the Tesla app...

Changing gears.... I was trying to figure out what to do about my mid-2019 Model 3 - whether to buy a CCS adapter or not because I am going to spend time in a place with NO Tesla superchargers. There are three EA CCS/CHA locations nearby. I talked with Tesla Support today (4/30) to see if...

I know this post is relatively old by forum standards, but let me ask a question: have you checked your CCS status on the Software panel in the car? It should tell you whether the car will work with CCS1, and that's a starting point to determine whether it's the adapter or the Tesla software....

Thanks for addressing all of my points. It helps - and my wife can read someone else's experience. We're definitely committed to EV and Tesla, and would like to have a hassle-free experience driving long distances in it. The only specific requirements I had were to drive to point B - and that...

My wife and I want to do a driving loop this summer from Arizona to New York and back. We have done overnight trips near home, but nothing long distance. So we decided to do a weekend trip to simulate the first leg of our upcoming loop and see what happened. A LOT did. Many of you reading...

The Lecton adapter is around $600. For that price, it BETTER work.

Not quite, Camera Jim. If you'll bring up the Tesla Used Inventory pages, it appears that Tesla is actually ADDING FSD to the used cars for sale. The pattern I see is that, if the 3rd gen computer is installed, they will add the FSD software to model years 2017 and newer. If you don't mind a...

If you go to the Tesla used car pages and put in a Search criteria, you'll find that they're selling cars with FSD. If it's a Model 3, you can check the box for 'Performance Option' for non-Performance models, and you'll see Acceleration Boost in the list of features for those cars also. Tesla...

Interesting. I was browsing the used Model 3 section on the Tesla website, and there's a checkbox marked 'Performance Upgrade'. The results returned include Acceleration Boost. II just did the same Search again, and found over a dozen cars with that feature. Comparing those cars to M3's...

I JUST went through the same analysis for the same reasons. My encounter with a MY showed me that, although there's some advantage to the entry/exit being easier (MY is higher), I can adjust the driver's seat for the Easy Entry settings high enough to make the difference negligible. And, being...

Tesla also uses Google Maps to determine the speed limit where you are at the time. It's possible that Google Maps isn't updated for the roads you're traveling. When did the speed limit change?

Remember setup takes time. Even if the powerwalls you speak of were charged fully when they were loaded on the truck, they would require significant time to charge up when depleted. Sunshine happens in daylight, so you're stuck with a maximum period of charging. A very slow solution for a...

Maybe so. But most of the people who chat with me about my Model 3 are more interested in the interior space, ride and comfort plus price. Range is, perhaps surprisingly, a distant second. The demographic is owners living in urban or suburban areas, at least 55 years old and either use the...

I'm thinking that this may be the battery for the Semi and maybe the Roadster.

Great information in this post. Here's how I think it applies to my situation, given this background: I have a 2019 M3LR AWD (Scarlett) that started its life with my wife and I in July, 2019. When I drove out of the parking lot, its range showed 315. In the year that we have driven it, we...

Yes. It gives me a jolt.

We bought a 2019 M3AWD a year ago. We now have 5,800 miles on it (driven only on Sundays by a little old lady to church....) and realize that we 'fall into' it when we get in. The MY is taller, and I presume the seating position is higher, so we would 'slide into' it instead. And that's what...

No need to look very far. The Model 3 flaps will fit a Model Y.

From your words, one gets the idea that you're not a Tesla fan, and my first thought is to tell you to sell your car because you'll never appreciate it for what it is - warts and all. This is NOT the first, nor even the tenth thread where people are complaining about FSD. It would be nice to...
