I notice this "lag" every so often. I have AB, and regularly punch it when I am first in line at the red light. I keep OAA on, and it is likely the cause of those occasional 'lags', but my preference is to keep the OAA setting on, and have a slight delay on launch maybe one time in a hundred...

I have had my Model 3 AWD+ for 2 and a half years, with 46000 km driven. It is my only car, and I couldn't disagree more with this anti-recommendation. I live in an apartment, and I have no charging at home. I do have charging at work, though not reliably (shared with quite a few other EVs at...

No change in tires or significant change in weather - BUT, a two finger salute (resetting the car) did solve whatever unknown issue there was. Trips back to the 170-180 KW/km range once again. Yay! This really is a computer on wheels - adding a reset to the the default problem solving algorithm.

I know about the winter effect (I usually run around 150-160 in the warmer months), and the increase has not occurred with a cooling of the weather - it is the same if not a slight bit warmer than before the sudden increase in energy usage.

In the past week, my usage has gone from around 170-180 WH/km to 230-240 WH/km - the outside temperature is about the same, and my usage is a bit less than usual, but not significantly. What, if anything, should I look at or try to do in order to address this? I will be double checking the tire...

So, I found this proposed device today - supposed to be coming in 2022: https://www.zipcharge.global Since I live in an apartment, it seems like a worthwhile thing to have. I have signed up for further information, and if you also fall into the demographic (EV owner without charging ability at...

I don't have a video (and I can post my time slip if proof needed), but I took my AWD+ to the drag strip for the first time ever today, and at 94% SOC, I ran 11.899 seconds, with a trap speed of 116.53 MPH. On the stock 18' wheels with CrossClimate+ tires (I'm sure the Mustang GT driver I beat...

This, more than the amount of snow we get in southern B.C., is the main reason I went with the CC - I doubt any of those raw data tests were done in freezing temps, which dramatically impact most non-winter tire compounds.

I have a March 2020 build, and I have also never had an unintended wash.

You don't need to apply 'pressure' to the steering wheel, just a little (very little) bit of torque, as though you were going to turn. It becomes second nature to hold the wheel that way. As for not slowing for traffic in front of you, how many car lengths have you set your TACC (Traffic Aware...

Much of his oeuvre is great in the Model 3, but the combination of highs, lows, and the size of the musical space really shines: Buckjump by Trombone Shorty

It is from Basenor - but purchased directly from their website.

It's strong enough now for me to be able to (slightly) rock the whole car by pushing just on the deflector. We'll see about longevity...

So here's a video of the water going into the trunk, on a level surface (apologies for not cutting it short) Then, here's a video of what happens after the deflector is on: And here are some pictures of how it looks in place: There is a small dent in it (unsure if it was from...

I tested my March 2020 build on a level surface, and water drips into the trunk from the back window (when the trunk is open). I just got my rain deflector, so I will take a brief video of before and after, and a few photos of it installed, sometime this weekend.

I have ordered the Basenor deflector, and when I get it, I will post a brief review. I still get water into the trunk off the back windshield on my 2020 model if I am not careful.

It is entirely normal, and it really should be in the manual that there are a number of popping noises and clunks that occur during the updates.

No, even 1 car length really leaves too much space when it is congested.

Now that you can select a speed up to 5mph (10 kph - heh - we Canadians can speed more) above the speed limit, Autosteer on city streets is finally quite usable, but when traffic slows to a crawl, it leaves too much of a gap to the car ahead of you to be really comfortable, especially near...

Welcome! This thread will help you get a sense of timing: Model 3 Order Tracking Spreadsheet No need to excuse your excitement - most of us here have it...

I had never been in a Tesla before I got into mine, coming from a Prius. I agree with everyone who says that you'll become comfortable driving within minutes. However, I suggest definitely reading the manual, and watching the videos on the Tesla website about how to put into various gears...

You can order the boost, try it for a day and a bit, and if you don't think you'll miss the extra power, refund within 48 hours of purchase. If you were wanting a P3, you'll keep the boost. I know I did :-)

I've noted that from time to time the screen will freeze, but haven't had the AC turn on. One time it did cause a reset, but recently, it just does the freezing thing intermittently.

This video shows that the front engages as needed in the snow, and is neither rare, nor weak: It is what convinced me to get the AWD Model 3. (If I had known about the Acceleration Boost before I bought it, that would have also been a swing factor).

I have a Midnight Silver Metallic Model 3. I ordered the Midnight Silver door handle wraps from EV wraps. They are not even close to the right colour. I wrote them, and they were very generous in offering to send me a set of a different colour. I chose the Matte Black. This photo shows the Matte...

I picked up my Model 3 from Vancouver in March. The only issue I've had is with the wipers (if you search for "noisy wipers", you'll see my thread on it. No visible paint issues (there is some very minor excess paint inside the rear driver's side passenger entry only seen when the door is open...

So Mobile service came out today, replaced the wiper blades and there is a "slight" reduction in the noise, especially at the top of the stroke, and he said to keep an eye (ear) on it, and make another appointment if the noise returns to its earlier intensity. He said that it is 'possible' that...

I had the same problem with a Galaxy S9, and it is definitely a newly arising issue. I rarely make or get calls in the car, so I can't pinpoint which of the past three updates might be the problem.

There is also P-, for the stealth Performance models (P power without bigger wheels, etc.) AWD+, for the AWD model 3 with Acceleration Boost (like mine :-) ) And, not Tesla specific, but: CPO - Certified Previously Owned (I had to look that one up myself).

Another way to see it is to look at the odometer. If you reset your odometer to zero right at the top of the incline, at the bottom, you will see the distance, and a negative value for wh/mile or km. Multiply them, and you should have a sense of exactly how much energy was reclaimed.

Thanks for the replies. I think I'll contact service, and have them tell me normal or not. I'll report back.

I bought FSD a few weeks ago, when the price increase appeared to be a foregone conclusion. Up until today, the only feature I really used was the lane change simply by signalling whilst in Traffic Aware Cruise Control (TACC). Then today, I had access to the stop signs and red lights beta (which...

And I just received it yesterday, after initially having it show up on Friday, getting to 100% and then being replaced by 2020.16.3. Seems Elon's short term timing predictions are much more accurate than the long term ones.

Here is a longer video where the slightly different noises at the two end stages of the wiping can be heard: https://youtu.be/W7YZHaMJMS0 So - normal (within spec) or something to call out service for?

Stage 2 0-60 in 3.2 seconds NO access to Tesla firmware updates, must go back to EG to upgarde Limited based on motor code, rear motor must have code 112980 $2,250 Knightshade, this looks like confirmation of your logically deduced positing that the 980 and 990 motors do in fact have different...

Maybe I'll try to take a longer video (I thought I had, but nope). Perscitus - it is not a chattering ON the windshield it is silent as it swipes- it is a 'thumping' at the midpoint and end of the stroke.

Thanks, hopefully this works: https://youtu.be/6DyoNRrMu4c

I haven't been driving much in the rain (haven't been driving much period). I had mobile service come out to adjust my driver's side windshield wiper because it was hitting the A panel on the upstroke, and that has been fixed. However, I'm noticing a slight thumping noise on every stroke of the...

Or more specifically the reduction (if any) of the maximum range from when it was new to now, as a more telling metric?

There are a number of hills in Burnaby, and the local ski hill is a drive up the mountain. I only drove up to the ski hill once before the mountain closed from the pandemic, but there were zero issues with starting or stopping (the road had been mostly cleared, so it was just the parking lot...

I completely understand not wanting a second set of wheels/tires, so as recommended above, I went with the CrossClimate+. Almost all the benefits of summer tires, but also keep their traction in the cold, and are snow rated for occasional snowfalls. They really are the perfect tire for the West...

I live in an apartment, so no charging at home. Thankfully, my office has level 2 charging, and with a 25 km one way commute (when I commute, recently no more than 1-2 x/week) I find I can charge up to 90% once per week and never go below 30%. When I did commute 5 days a week, I charged twice a...

I I haven't been here that long, but that could be said of SO many threads here...

Because the gasoline in the car in their garage is non-flammable...

It was a specific feature touted by Tesla, and it was a selling point to me in deciding to choose the AWD version (a minor one, but still). And it appears it was a myth, given that there were very few circumstances in which the vehicle would continue to drive with only one motor.

Well, looks like Tesla itself has decided to end the myth that the dual motors will drive on a single motor when needed - the updated text on their website just talks about 'redundancy': Tesla All-Wheel Drive has two independent motors for improved redundancy, each with only one moving part for...

Plus I'm guessing (never having driven any of the other cars listed in this thread) that most (all?) of them require premium congealed dinosaur.

Another thread about them - with my observations... Model 3 Tire Questions

I only had about 700 km on my OEMs before I switched to the CrossClimate+, and didn't notice ANY drop in range (granted, when I first got the car, I was doing a lot more jump starts, but then, to be fair, I got the acceleration boost after I switched, so not significantly more) - my efficiency...

I didn't realize prices went up shortly after I bought, so the reduction is more than I thought: Tesla changes pricing structure, lowers prices of all vehicles in Canada - Drive Tesla Canada
