Can i turn the card off for the Tesla charges only. I can't turn it on for my daily life.

Going back to Jan 2023 I have had only one charge per month from Tesla, that being for Premium Connectivity. But starting in June 2023 i have been having multiple charges for differing amounts between $9 and $17. The number of charges started out with 4 in June and has been increasing to Nov...

Reply appreciated. Will follow your advice.

Should i take it to the service center if i want the replacement done for me. Make an appointment thru my cell?

What should i ask for when ordering service from Tesla for my 2020 Model 3 'cabin' filter. What is entailed and any estimate on the cost. Would i do better going to the service station 20 miles away or having the work done at my residence?

Why, if Tesla is selling CCS1 adaptors in the US do they not do upgrades on older model (May 2020) Tesla Model 3s? And... does anyone have any more specific info on when Tesla will do the retrofit than just 'early 2023'? Or where in north America that it is doing so now?

Can someone tell me please IF and WHERE i can have my Model 2, manufactured early June 2020, upgraded to CCS1 on compatible charging?

Many thanks. That is helpful.

For Model 3 owners with CCS adaptors, what is the charge rate to charge 200 mi at commercial chargers?

Is there any info on when in first quarter 2023 the CCS upgrade for earlier model 3 will happen. I have read on multiple sources that the upgrade will be made available in first quarter. Is that January 2023, March, June or ever? I am waiting for the upgrade to do more cross country travelling...

This is brjr, Bruce Reed Jr. I thank you very much for your information. I think i will check abrp with multiple routes and then plan accordingly. I just want to travel the country for 2-3 weeks from Dallas Tx to Seattle Wa and then anywhere else along the way. Many thanks.

I have determined that my Model 3, as manufactured, is not CCS upgrade enabled. However i read in this forum that folks are doing it on their own. I would never try to do it myself and have drawn a blank on Tesla dealers that will do it. I am about to take a round the US tour in my 2020 Model 3...

Sorry for your problem. Did you look into having the Tesla dealer or anyone else do the conversion? Reason i ask is that i need an upgrade too and would not think about doing it myself. The Tesla supercharger only adaptor limits my travels around the country and i may be forced to sell my 2020...

APRB has a parameter for 'Battery Degradation'. I have done a few cross country trips using 5%. But i recently noticed that my max charge setting for Trip is 280 miles. Would that indicate that my battery degradation is > 5%?

When supercharging i always set the charge range to just below the 'Trip' bar which yields 248 miles. When i drag the setting to the top marker it goes to 280. Bought the car new June 2020. I don't remember ever seeing the range at or over 300. Does it make sense to be down to 280 max range. I...

That's unfortunate. I would prefer to drive with my low beams always on when i am on the road. For safety sake. I guess i will just have to remember to turn the lights on every time i pull out. I think i have noticed that if i put the lights to on, they switch back to auto when i park the car...

Has anyone in the US or North America had a CCS adaptor conversion done to a 2020 Model 3? Are newer Model 3's coming standard with CCS compatibility? Do they come with CCS adapters?

I would like to keep my headlights on when ever the car is running and then turn off automatically when i leave the car. How can this be done?

I live in Columbus Ohio. Does anyone know where i can have a ccs adapter conversion done? The local dealership service front desk doesn't do this. However i am not sure they are knowledgeable even about the adapter parts. Are there any other dealerships where others have been sucessful...

Thanks! Good to hear.

I come and go from home 3 -4 times a day. I most often engage the mobile charger when i pull into the garage unless the 'Estimated Remaining Charge' at the top of the screen (or whatever that is called?) is approx 220 plus. Following this practice i am able to go weeks at a time without a SC. Is...

thank you. That makes sense and is good to hear.

Model 3 manufactured June 2020. Since then i have mostly charged from home using mobile the connector (except for long distance travel. ) For all of this time until recently the screen has shown a charge rate of 5-6 miles charge per hour with 12/12 amps. Recently the charge rate has gone down...

Many thanks.

Your advice please. I have driven from Columbus Ohio to both Seattle WA and another trip to Memphis. Never has any leg of the planned trip been over 160 miles. But on a new plan including a leg of the trip being 225 miles i am nervous about driving to Houston in very hot weather temperatures...

Took my Model 3 to a car wash that uses rollers to propel the car. I thought i had the car in neutral but apparently it was in drive. With my foot on the break, the drive at zero mph went into lock mode. I felt one set of rollers bump the car up and then go on. The attendant I believe, stopped...

All cars were posted at least two spaces apart. Hmmm. Worried about this. Is Tesla throttling back power due to fires?

Thanks JulieW :-)

How can i tell if my Model 3 has the speaker and is enabled for this feature?

Yesterday, three drivers, including me experienced very low charge rates at a super station. We were all spaced at least two chargers apart and had 35kw, 18kw and 40kw respectively. One of the other drivers said he had experienced the same low charge rate across town (Columbus Ohio). What gives?

Is there such thing as a mobile battery? One that i could carry in the trunk and charge the car with if i loose my charge? How many miles could it give me?

I leave the AC on (icon highlighted) to keep humidity down but i turn off climate (power icon) when i exit the car. Should i just leave it on and assume the system will shut down appropriately in a short while?

Thanks for the info about the ac mildew avoidance. That is important. And i usually turn of the climate anyways. I will make a point of leaving it on during warm weather to dry out the ac. Appreciate peoples' experience and advice.

I was wondering about the fan/vent running after i exit my car, even in my garage which has moderate temperature compared to outside. I would prefer not to have that running so much. Would it hurt the car if i disable it?

Thanks derotam.

There is a little window in the bottom left of the screen that is labled 'Trip A'. It shows mileage and watt hour consumption since 'Trip A reset' . When the car is NOT being driven, does this measure include power consumption while parked? Why is 'wH/mi' so high when the car is first started...

That is an easy out for them.

Thanks for response. What to you mean by 'already stressed the battery'? I plan on taking off with 95% within minutes of charge.

Good to know.

I am doing a cross country from Ohio to Washington. I am using the app ABRP and for some legs it has me leaving with a 90% charge and specifies a speed limit to maximize efficiency to make the distance. On one leg it tells me to keep my speed max at 68mph. Question, on such a leg, if i charge...

What about the ABRP app. Does in download? I am pretty sure the ABRP 'plans' are store in the cloud because i share on both laptop at home and on the road. Performance really sucks. I am going to purchase premium and hope i am placed on a faster server. What do you know about performance?

I haven't tried it yet. Have not been out of cell range. Does the car use my cell phone for cellular connection?

Does the Tesla depend only on GPS satellites for navigation? Does Model 3 have the US map on its computer or does it pull up the map each time i invoke the Tesla Navigate app? What about other services? Web apps for instance? I have laid(sp?) in a ABRP plan for a cross country trip. If i am...

In the front console, under the panel there are two ports, i presume USB-A. One has a cable attached to an inductive charger that came with the car, a new build. The other port does not seem to have anything in it. I can't see it directly due to the way the front panel opens and when i put my...

I have 32 hops for a cross country trip. However someone said to click on the 'share' button and save to pdf or some other file fomat.

Thank you

Can someone tell me how to print or export the table please?

I looked at the gasket and found the rubber in the driver's corner was misshappen, not forming in a straight line like the other windows. I took a picture and uploaded to the appointment app.

Hi have a thumb drive with mp3's on it plugged in behind the console in the tiny port, using an adapter for the thumb drive. So, it is plugged in but i don't see anything showing up on the computer screen going the the entertainment and musing options. How is this done please? Shouldn't i be...

Thanks.
