I disconnected the power trunk retrofit's CANBUS wiring harness as documented in this thread https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/power-trunk-retrofit-causing-car-awake.322759 My PCS_a022 errors and, more importantly, the increased battery drain has disappeared completely. I've gone from...

I can't disagree with that sentiment at all. As excited as I was to get the "official" power trunk retrofit installed last fall, I've now come to really regret spending the money on it.

Excellent. Good to have that datapoint.

Man I am so glad I found this thread. I've been having the exact same issues with my 2020 LR with the power trunk retrofit kit installed. Tesla has replaced the front left sensor (twice) and even the car's main computer once in an attempt to resolve the HVAC system not working reliably...

I had my Tesla Service appointment and the tech informed me that there is currently an investigation linking the power drain and vehicle not properly entering sleep mode with vehicles that have the Tesla Power Trunk retrofit kit installed (which mine does). He then offered to "disconnect a...

Tesla Service's message to me this morning about the excessive drain was a bit maddening: So in other words, mask the problem rather than fix it.

I am also noticing a large battery drain when the vehicle should be in standby. I opened another service request a few weeks ago and the techs had me go through the process of resetting my account password and access token and said to give it a week or so to see if the situation improved. It did...

So sorry to hear that.

I can't recommend any all-season tires as I'm still running the original tires that came with my 2020 M3LR (currently at 19660 kms). For my winter wheels, I went with the Nokian Hakkapelitta's from Kal Tire on the OEM rims. I've been very happy with them although I'm told they have a bit more...

I realise that this is an older thread (and is about the MX) but I'm having pretty much the exact same problem with my M3LR. I've disabled Sentry mode completely, turned off cabin overheat protection, removed the app widget from my phone's screen and don't launch the app unless I have to and I'm...

Per my post above, Tesla service informed me that the alerts are a known issue and can be safely ignored unless you are actually having issues charging.

After a bit of back and forth with my local service guys (via the mobile app), I have been told the same thing as reported by others and my service appointment was canceled. Their exact message was: As someone who tests software for a living, I found the replacement of "bug" with "known...

I get the error messages being logged in the notifications tab almost continuously but in my case the error code is PCS_a022 rather than PCS_a023. In my case, the vehicle is not plugged in and also charges properly when I connect it to either a Supercharger or a Level 2 charger. I've requested a...

My retrofit appointment last Saturday went reasonably smoothly but definitely took much longer than the 4 hours that the service centre quoted me when they denied my request for a loaner. Ended up taking 8 hours but since I'd had benefit of the feedback from those of you who posted here, I...

My appointment for the install is this Saturday (18 Nov). I messaged the service centre asking about a loaner and was informed that the install will only take 4 hours and no loaner will be supplied. Bummer. But still excited to get my retrofit done.

I ordered my retrofit kit on the day that I got the notification that they were back in stock (23 October). It was reported as being out of stock again on 26 October so it would seem that either supplies are limited or demand is high. Prior to that, it was out of stock on 15 Sep (1 day after...

Aside from @msb175 , can anyone else who as had the retrofit kit installed comment on how long your service appointment took? I've got my install appointment scheduled for 18 November and I'm wanting to set expectations on how long I'll be without a vehicle. Is it truly a couple of days for this...

It's available now for 2019 and 2020 Model 3s: https://shop.tesla.com/en_ca/product/model-3-powered-trunk-retrofit You order it through the mobile app and schedule a service appointment to have it installed.

I just got an alert in my Tesla app that the retrofit kit was back in stock. Of course, because I'm selfish, I made sure to order mine, schedule my service appointment and get confirmation of same before coming here to post this update. :)

It gets pushed as an OTA Navigation Software update. My Model 3 just updated late last week (the last Navigation data update I'd received prior to that was last year sometime).

Yeah. I know it makes me sound very selfish but I keep checking the store in the hopes that all of these canceled orders would result in me being able to order a kit for my 2020.

Sadly, I missed the boat too. I'm really hoping that Tesla will restock this kit soon.

That doesn't surprise me at all. I just got my Model 3 back today after it got rear ended by a contractor's van back in October. Rear end damage was a little less severe than what you posted in your original post but fortunately, there was no front end damage. Mine wasn't written off and it...

Agreed. I did not expect -- nor did I ask for -- a loaner when my Model 3 was dropped off with Tesla. My insurance company rented me this misery-inducing Kia Soul that I absolutely abhor driving. As for the repairs, there's finally been some activity. My vehicle was torn down and the official...

And how, here I am almost a month later and repair_still_ hasn't started on my Model 3 and Tesla is _still_ unresponsive. At this rate, I'm not sure I'll get my car back before summer. Incredibly unhappy but at a loss as to what I can do about it at this point.

I'll go in a completely different direction and say that I absolutely love my Model 3 and enjoy driving it every time I'm in it. But I'm really starting to sour on Tesla the company... specifically their customer service and vehicle service. My vehicle got rear-ended quite some time ago and has...

Understood. But to clarify: I didn't take my car to a "Tesla-authorized collision center". I took my car to the "Tesla Collision Centre" which is owned and operated by Tesla themselves. Opening the mobile app and seeing a status of "Last seen 18 days ago" is depressing.

[photo snipped but appreciated] Absolutely gorgeous.

I'll add another positive vote for both Kal Tire (the Waterloo branch has treated me very well) and also for the Nokian Hakkapeliitta as a good winter tire. Only complaint with the Nokian's is that they are definitely noisier than your summer tires. But I expect that is true of pretty much all...

I've opted to stick with Tesla. The repairs to my vehicle are going to be quite extensive and I want to ensure that it's being done by Tesla themselves. Sadly, my car isn't drivable and it's now sitting in the Tesla Collision Centre's lot awaiting teardown. In the meantime, I'm stuck in a...

I have an appointment with the Tesla Collision Centre in Oakville but the earliest one I could get was for 05 Dec. Tempted to look at one of the "Tesla Certified" shops. Does anyone have any experience with or feedback about either: Fix Auto (Waterloo) or CSN Golden Triangle (Guelph)

<sigh> My M3 just got rear ended yesterday so I've joined the club. Scheduled a collision repair appointment at the Tesla Oakville Collision Centre and the first available appointment slot was 5 December. So over a month before they'll even start looking at my car. :( On the one hand, I want...

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. The Kitchener location does service but I don't believe that they do collision repair. Still waiting to hear from my insurance adjuster so hopefully I'll know more soon. I agree that it would seem best to stick with Tesla for the repairs if I can.

My beloved Model 3 got rear ended on the highway last night. Sadly, dashcam failed me and I didn't get footage of the accident but the case was pretty cut and dried since I was stopped with traffic in front of me and the van nailed me. So aside from just venting, what I'm really after is any...

I *was* saving up to add EAP to my Model 3 but with this new pricing, Tesla can go f#@% themselves. There's no way that FSD is worth $20K even if you could get it (since not everyone gets into the beta). And even EAP's value is questionable at the new price point.

Glad it worked out for you!

Try reaching out to Duliban Insurance Brokers. They have partnered with the EV Society of Ontario to offer group insurance rates for EVs. I've dealing with them since I bought my Mode 3 in 2020 and have been happy with the service I've received from them. They ended up putting me into a policy...

You're going to need scuba gear if you want to go under Lake Superior. The extra drag moving through the water will definitely affect your range as well. :) Based on what I see on A Better Route Planner, there are Superchargers available regardless of which route you choose. If you're planning...

I, for one, forgive you if only because by posting that, you saved *me* from being that guy.

I second the recommendation for Wheeler Automotive up in Innerkip. Cyril is a great guy to work with and he knows his Teslas.

And if you're willing to come to Waterloo, I can recommend Niko's Signs & Grafx. They did the tint and PPF on my Model 3. https://www.nikosignsandgrafx.com/

I'm in the same boat. Trying to set up my rates for Waterloo North Hydro but can't edit the price fields.

I bought my Nokians from Kal Tire in Waterloo and was very happy with the service I got from them. They didn't even get overly mad at me when I forgot to turn off Sentry Mode and the car started screaming at them right after they hoisted it!

I bought my rims and TPMS sensors from Wheelwiz.ca and then bought the tires and had all the swapping/mounting work done at KalTire. I was able to buy the TPMS sensors from Wheelwiz because my M3 is a 2020 so it still uses the old sensors. If you have a 2021, I think your only choice is to get...

Congrats on your reservation, Here's hoping you get your car sooner rather than later. I went with the Hakkapeliitta R3 and drove my first winter on them this past winter. I was very happy with how they performed but I will say that they definitely increased the road noise. I was warned about...

That's a good tip and something to keep in mind when you go to get your outlet or charger installed. Keep in mind that not all cars have their charge port in the same location so if you get the outlet installed so that it's convenient for your Tesla, it may be in a horrible spot should you...

This is almost the exact thing I did last year. I ordered my rims from Wheelwiz and then had the tires moved around by my local Kal Tire. The pricing you're quoting above is roughly in line with what I paid. Wheelwiz charged $202/wheel + $240 for 4 TPMS sensors + $65 for an installation kit (Hub...

I had a set of Nokian Hakkapliita R3 tires (Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 - Winter tires / Nokian Tires) installed on my Model 3 OEM rims and moved the original summer tires over to a set of replacement rims. Drove through my first winter here in Waterloo and had absolutely no traction or control...

Under your driver profile settings, isn't there a check box reading "Use Easy Entry"? You should just have to select that and the car should create an "Easy Entry" profile again. NOTE: I've not tried deleting the "Easy Entry" profile myself so this is pure speculation on my part using this...

Yes. Here in my neck of the woods, flashing your high beams at someone means they're heading towards a speed trap or some other police presence.
