Good morning all… When it’s ultra cold -30 degrees my car seems to burn through about 10% of the battery extremely quickly (I assume this is normal as it gets the battery pack and cabin up to comfortable operating temps). I’m wondering if, when it is this cold, if I am running into the gym...

We are making a trip from Regina to Las Vegas and the Medicine Hat to Montana stretch is not possible via Supercharger network alone. There is a FLO station in Taber, AB but I don’t want to stay there for 5 hours charging at level 2 speeds. Does anyone have an adapter that I can rent? Thank you

Yeah, I put my summers back on and for the first drive I had the error consistently. Then over the next few days it gave me the error twice briefly. All good since then though.

2021 M3P here…no heated steering wheel. Picked up Dec 23rd in Calgary. It has the new steering wheel without stitching on the side, but it isn’t heated 😢

Get a set of 18”s for winter…the wheels and tires will likely cost you about the same as the 20” all season tires. These ones I got look decent, I actually like them better than the Uberturbines.

Check your credit card. Maybe you pocket purchased it.

Mine have been off and on but was like this before 2021.4.11 I thought the car had ice/dirt on it but ran it through the car wash and it still comes on every 2nd or 3rd drive.

I wonder how that kid made out…the one whose strict parents were monitoring his movements…remember him?

i wouldn’t expect a 3rd party app to work that way

And 2021.4.6 has arrived. Lesson learned: sit down and shut up, it will come when it comes.

Thanks. Not sure why papa Elon has forsaken me

Hey there, I have a 2021 M3P that I picked up on Dec 23rd. I did get the holiday update but I haven’t gotten anything since. Still on 2020.48.35.5 Is it normal that I’m not getting all these little bug fix updates. I know that I don’t get every update as they are config/geo specific but it...

My dog’s name is Queen Cleo’paw’tra. Not sure if your user name has anything to do with your dog or not.

Sorry I’ve been away from this thread for a bit. We had a COVID scare and we all needed to get tested and shut things down for a few days. I wasn’t able to go out and do the highway test that I wanted to after service replaced the sensor until this morning. the good news is that after 45...

Ah, the closest one is over an hour away. It would not start to precondition within my normal commute. I don’t get close enough. I could put it in track mode, I suppose. I don’t think I will but I think that’s another way to get it to heat up the battery.

I feel like a total noob but how would I force it to do that without navigating to a supercharger?

It took him about 30 minutes or so to change out the sensor. He did say that he anticipates an entirely different part will be coming at some point but for now he could only replace the failing part with the same part.

Apparently it is broken. The ambient temperature sensor that causes Model 3’s to have no heat is failing. It just hadn’t gotten to the point where it gave me a user facing warning yet. He said that this is something he has seen before where the vehicle has progressively less heat at highway...

Service is on the way right now to take it for a nice long highway drive. I’ll let you know what they say.

110 km/h that’s probably not an accurate way to look at my driving yesterday though. I was chauffeur-ing my daughter around and I sat in the car with the heat on while she ran into stores. There was a lot of just sitting around burning energy but not moving anywhere.

yeah, I don’t think it’s the commonly reported failure because as soon as I slow down to city speeds, 60km/h or so the heat comes back. also, the other folks are reporting a warning popping up, aren’t they? I don’t have any warnings. For the guy who was asking about battery in this cold, I...

it’s a dual motor Performance. I should have checked the cabin temp but I try not to touch my phone when I’m driving. I can try tomorrow, it will be similar temperatures tomorrow as well.

So I was wondering how the heat pump would perform in extreme cold and today I got to find out. I put on about 200 kms today and while I was driving around the city the heat worked as expected, it kept us toasty warm. However, this evening I went out on the highway and the combination of -35 C...

Don’t buy it then. The cancellation process is easy and they return the deposit quite quickly.

We had -48 degrees with the wind chill yesterday and my 3 handled it like a champ. Knock on wood!

My wife and I went to the mall today. When we got back there was a sentry mode warning and my wife had never seen sentry mode so I wanted to show her how it works. We watch the clip as this dude walks right up to the car and tries the doors and sure enough gets right into the car. My wife says...

Honestly I’m not sure, It’s never something I’ve ever thought about. My assumption was that the same dims that are on at night were the ones that are on during the day. I guess ignorance is bliss because I couldn’t possibly care less.

Why do you want them off? I don’t think they use much battery and statistics show having them on prevents many accidents. We can’t turn our headlights off in Canada (while the car is in motion) since 1989.

If someone is sauntering in the middle of the road then you could just beep the normal horn that came with your car, couldn’t you?

This is it ^ you can test this theory by turning around and flooring it TOWARDS the cell tower... the music will sound like The Chipmunks.

mine will reply perfect every time but I have trouble initiating a new text convo. It always seems to get the wrong name.

yes, I wound up getting a refund on those and purchased the TPMS from Tesla...they shipped to PMC who installed into my order. PMC had fantastic customer service by the way, highly recommend!

That’s a terrible idea. Just. Awful.

good eyes! I just went to the website and picked the first wheel that I saw without checking the width. I have the 9” wide ones. Here is exactly what I got. FWIW, I didn’t need the centering rings on my car...not sure if it would have been cheaper without them.

Here you go -> Fast Wheels - FC04 Wheels - Titanium - 18" x 10", 5 x 114.3, 72.6 mm, 45 mm - PMCtire Canada

Do they really still sell those?

Their cell phone will have a light on it. Just use that...also, this situation is a good excuse to always open your wife’s door for her...which will likely lead to increased action. Every cloud has a silver lining.

Fast FC04

Are you suggesting that it will all make sense once we get to Mars? I think you might be on to something.

Yeah, it’s the heat pump doing it’s thing. Even if your climate control was off it does stuff to regulate battery temps, if I’m not mistaken.

Wow! Where are you?

Can someone tag Elon? Caren wants to speak with the manager.

for sure they do, but that’s a terrible photo of them.

I like these a lot. They are my winter wheels and are only 18”. I think these would be amazing in 20’s for the summer tires.

Yeah, even with sentry mode on it isn’t 10%. I don’t think his car was going to sleep. Maybe a 3rd party app keeping it awake.

wow...mine was $1800 CDN including ceramic coat. I don’t think he necessarily means a full body wrap.

Yeah man, you will have chips for sure. At least get the leading edges PPF’d. That’s what I did.

Ugh, that should say “You only pay tax on the difference...”

Testing - I think it worked. Thanks!
