Thank you for sharing your insights here. Yes, I’m aware that SMT needs a bit of time to “stabilise” so the readings are taken after driving quite a bit. Once aspect which we all need to consider is that, on Tesla there is a buffer energy in the battery - 3,2kWh below zero for M3 LR with LG...

When you are in the Service Mode you go to “High Voltage” -> “HV System” and over there you will see the last result (if it was ever run on the car) and have the option to run the test.

Hmm, SMT today: Nominal full pack = 69,5kWh Full pack when new = 74,5kWh That will suggest a 6,7% degradation. Following the consumption screen: I just drove 77% (highway speed 120-150km/h) and consumed 51kWh. That will suggest 66,2kWh to which we need to add the buffer below zero (about...

Is a link to a Google Photos album. If you follow that, you should be able to see multiple photos in good quality.

Which photo? From my initial post? If so, you need to click on it to display it on full resolution.

I suspect your battery is slightly bigger, still LG and same chemistry. I remember after I order/pick mine, there were all these made in China cars with slightly higher displayed range. I keep here some info about battery types used in M3 arround that time: Tesla Model 3 Battery types

I doubt you have the exact same battery. Is your car made in US or in China?

Yes, introduced on M3 end of 2020 (at least in Europe). Note: I uploaded now also the photo with the test result :)

Last night I run for the first time the build in Battery Health test from service mode on my +3 years old Tesla M3 Long Range (E5D battery) and +75.000 Km. I got home at around 21:20 with 5% SOC so I said this is a good moment to kick the test. I recorded data with Scan My Tesla during the test...

I read somewhere that NMC chemistry has slightly lower degradation than NCA. I drive an M3 LR with one of the early 2021 LG packs and in cold weather I could not see any difference in acceleration comparing with warm. I’m not living in a country with extreme cold weather so maybe I’m not the...

Indeed. One recommendation, try to put AC OFF (I see you have it on Manual) on hot days when superchaging especially from low SOC. The cooling system will not be able to handle both cabin and battery effectively and will limit the charging power in order to avoid overheating. Once that happen...

You can check the type of battery on your registration papers. You should see a code similar with E5CD or E5LD (latest LG battery) or something like that if your car has a different battery or is older. When searching on internet for the mentioned codes you will find details about the battery...

Tesla was keep on adjusting some rules for termal management for "better efficiency". I monitor my car with SMT and I noticed the car is ussing less the stators for battery pre-heating which could be an explanation why it takes longer. On the other hand, I noticed occasionally that after...

Someone on this forum mentioned that changing wheel configuration back and forth will solve the problem. My car is standard equipped with 19 inch V2 sport wheels. I change it to 18 inch, drove 10 meters and change back. After that, surprise, the car is now reporting more realistic figures (note...

I charged recently to 99% and that did not change anything. I doubt 100% will do something on this matter.

I went on a long trip this weekend and no issue with the route planner (I did not used Tesla Supercharger network).

Yesterday we had a long trip of about 500km. The issue comes and goes again :(

The engineer I talk with from Tesla service will be back next week so let’s see if he will share more details but I doubt that. Probably this will remain an unknown for now.

See my last post, maybe updating from Service Menu is not a good idea. Ask Service to push the image again to your car or wait for 2023.6.9 which will come soon - hoping it will solve the issue.

I drove today a bit over 300Km plus a short trip of 10Km and the consumption shown in the energy app is on par with the card/trip. So, the re-update that was pushed by Tesla to the car seem to have solved the issue in my case. Maybe re-updating from Service Menu is not a good idea because maybe...

51 months old still running on the same original 12v battery (lead acid version). Fingers crossed!

To be fair, Tesla service has been engaging on this quite well so far (active on messages and they even call to explain what they are doing). Today, they push the same update once again to my car and was even downloaded via LTE connection so I could remotely install it. They say this could...

My 2021 M3LR delivered in December 2020 with LG battery showed 2,5% degradation after first summer and about 20.000Km. Next year, it went to 2,7% and is there since with 55.000km on the odometer. The car reports 515-520km of full range while new it was reporting 534Km. I hardly fast charge, go...

There are apps that can monitor consumption of the car while parked and the efficiency during charging. The values you record depends a lot on your circumstances and behaviour. Does your car goes to sleep while plugged, sentry mode on, super slow charging so on? If the car does not go to sleep...

Agree. Is not that simple as just a multiplier. It looks like the entire average graph is somehow offset somehow high. For instance, I drove today “like a nanny” and even on the full regen periods I could not get the graph to go below zero (in the green area). Something it to tell skewed but...

I have an update from Tesla service on this topic. “We have performed an initial investigation into your Energy App concern. Software update 2023.6.8 which you recently installed contained significant updates and reworks to the Energy App. The miscalculations you see are likely due to the...

In my case was fine as well for the first 8 hours of the day. It just suddenly show from 140 ish to +200 while driving… I suggest you keep an eye on this and “test” again another day or maybe you are just lucky and not affected by this :)

I have a service case open with Tesla and they are looking into the issue… I suggest you do the same so they understand the issue is wider.

Hello, I was chill driving yesterday on a highway hoovering at about 95km/h fascinated about relatively low consumption of 140wh/km considering misty wet roads and wild wind. The consumption tab was also showing more or less the same (10,25,50 km) as always however, at some point it started to...

Hmm, there is a recent update where AP is now only relying on vision in my car as well. In addition, I assume wipers does not rely on LiDAR sensors, are they?

Is really strange for me to read all these reports about wipers activating when AP is engaged. I drive in The Netherlands a M3 LR build in US late 2020 which came with some of the 2021 facelift points. Most of my drive is with AP engaged and honestly, I did not notice any annoying wipers...

Occasionally it happened to me as well, the car was keep on asking for log in Spotify (I use default Tesla car account) with Premium connectivity. I did few restarts of the car and that did not fix the problem on the spot however, after parking (and car goes to sleep) all got fixed by itself…

I always kept wipers in Auto since I got the car two years ago. Besides the wipers themselves being crap on dirty conditions (model 2022 are improved) the on/off did not bother me that much with few exceptions when they went wild and I assume was related to software as that disappeared after a...

DrChaos is asking about pillar cameras to be shown during parking. At the moment, there is no way to do that. If you wish to display repeater cameras while you move forward, you can move the cameras button on the main bar and in that way will only be a touch away from you when you want to use...

There is now way currently to access/display the pillar cameras during parking. I have the same issue and end up curbing wheels couple of times :(

Indeed, the Tesla mobile service technician remove mine from the front in just few seconds with a plastic basic tool.

Yes, I think I figured. It’s all documented here: Tesla battery "Overheating" explained I hope this helps!

I experienced the car not locking quite some time ago, nothing recent and indeed, was concerning. I noticed lately another aspect. The car will lock only when I’m quite far from it while few months ago, if I exit the car, close driver door and walk around the car to open passenger door, about...

Ha ha, I did this video for fun one day: I don’t seem to have this issue in my M3 so maybe is the type of bottle used that adds to the problem.

I was using an IPhone 8 since I got the car 1,5 years ago and let’s say 90% of the time was working fine with some occasional hiccups. I changed my phone about two months ago to IPhone 13 Mini and got some updates (currently running on 2022.12.3.2) and almost 90% of the time, the car will NOT...

I used the same charger before and never had this issue. Anyway, in the meantime I got few updates and the “problem” is gone.

Nice disclaimer on their website “Octopus Go is a beta product. If you're OK that some things may not work first time, that installations and processes may take longer than we'd like, and that on occasion data issues with smart meters can take significant time to fix or prevent things working at...

Hi Andrew, I tested personally and when the car is in deep sleep for 24 hours, it will consume about 0,3 kWh for the full period. So, in your case, there is definitely something that keeps the car awake. In The Netherlands I’m using a smart charging app and after a while I noticed the same -...

The loud clunk can be the relay disconnecting the high voltage battery. I read many similar posts related to the 12v battery. I hope is just that but let us know when you get it back.

Sorry to hear about your computer issue. I will be surprised if they will not save the progress and all “user” data but let us know when you get it back. In the meantime, enjoy the Performance - I hope is unrestricted for you as I got a performanceS for few days but was locked in Valet Mode :(

I hope they will fix these issues for you. On my 2021 model (made in US and received in The Netherlands in December 2020) I experienced the first two you mentioned. 1. That rattle on the back seat was really annoying at some point but it just disappeared one day. I need to monitor that during a...

The issue for me was that only the right repeater camera show the problem (the left one was replaced some time ago as one day just stoped working). I explained that is very disturbing when driving in the night as that pink/velvet blinking will cause distractions and I upload a photo to show the...

Super! Thank you for sharing.

Dear Friends, I wonder if Tesla sell spare parts alone for DIY repairs. Anybody has any experience with that? If they do, are the price levels the same with what they mention on their repair quotations or higher and if higher, by how much? Thank you!
