    Model 3 insurance in Canada

    That's for the reply. The purchase price in Canada is around $10k per variant. Sr = $50k lr = $60k p = $70. You are likely right. The most common variant is likely the LR.

    Model 3 insurance in Canada

    I have a 2021 Model 3 SR+. Thinking of buying the Highland LR. I'm insured with "The Personal" in Toronto. I have various discounts and pay around $1500/ year for my present car. I called the The company yesterday and was quoted these prices for the 2024 RWD - $1500 LR - $2,800 Performance -...

    Ads for Cars

    This is not so much about burnouts. It's about how we foreget about how polluting our tires are. The dust from just normal driving is a serious polluter. I agree burnouts are a small polluter.

    I'm feeling this is more like "smoking on airplanes" than driving fast. :cool:

    Ads for Cars

    So I used to be a "lead foot". I raced bikes for a couple of years and used to track some of my cars. That being said I'm astounded that commercials for cars are allowed to show smoking tires. WTF. Car tires are super polluting. Tires are made of 24% synthetic rubber, along with hundreds of...

    FSD V12.3 Full Screen Visualisation Question

    Kimmi. That worked. If you want it to display in full screen when you first engage fsd, check that box.

    FSD V12.3 Full Screen Visualisation Question

    I noticed last night that in the fsd settings that there is switch that says "allow full screen visualisations". I switched off. I'll report on how it looks after I go for a drive.

    FSD V12.3 Full Screen Visualisation Question

    I have a 2021 Model 3 (Atomic) with FSD V12.3 When I pull in the stick to engage it goes into a full screen visualization and I have to swipe left to see the actual map. Is this normal behavior and if so is there a way to stop it? Thanks!!

    FSD v12 coming on 2024 branch soon...

    I've been using FSD v12.3.6 for a few days here in Toronto. It is quite impressive. I have a couple of observations of things out did not do well. 1 - People on the road/curb. The software stops the car (which is the safe approach). As a human I could tell that the fedex driver with the...

    Dealing with Curb Rash

    Well said!

    Dealing with Curb Rash

    That's true. If the rim is wider than the tire there is no buffer. It's like bald people knocking their heads....

    Dealing with Curb Rash

    I can't figure out why tesla don't use 1/2" smaller rims with the same size tires. It is just poor design imho. Must have to do with wind dynamics and keeping everything flat. These cars are easy worse than any of the 30 other cars I've owned.

    Model 3 2021 not recognising music from USB-C stick

    ElectricAnt54 - Put music on and it stopped seeing it. Now I am completely confused!!

    Model 3 2021 not recognising music from USB-C stick

    I took the USB C stick and wiped all the songs. The car continues to see the stick after a few days. I think it was a corrupt file in my case. I would guess that the glovebox (dashcam) USB that people use for music is unaffected because it is a different piece of hardware that the system sees...

    Model 3 2021 not recognising music from USB-C stick

    I would agree except that most 2021's and earlier do not have a problem. Some of those have commented in this thread. Also on my car 2021 the usb stick in the glovebox will not fit the usb c ports under the screen...:-)

    Model 3 2021 not recognising music from USB-C stick

    Here's my understanding of the problem. Tesla constantly upgrades their systems. Mainly through software updates. As they have updated the software it has become better at finding problems with the system. I would suggest that previous versions of the software allowed problematic usb sticks to...

    new Startech front end..

    Could not agree more with your statement. They did miss out. Unfortunatley the distance of all the sensors in the existing front bumper defines aftermarket bumper shapes. So they are limited. Agreed on the busyness. I still prefer it to the original though!
  19. GregoryK

    new Startech front end..

    I agree it is sligtly too "busy". But look at the grey model 3 behind mine. I would argue that front on that car is not perfect either. I think these cars are well designed but the front is not the best part.
  20. GregoryK

    new Startech front end..

    I get what the haters above are saying but the grey and the black is way more sutble. Also the foglamps are super powerful and are great on dark country roads!

    new Startech front end..

    Put this on a few weeks back. It's all snow and slush here in Canada. I was sick of seeing so many identical cars on the road! I installed a used garage door module while I had the bumper off too. I am not unhappy with the change of look. Thoughts....

    Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

    Am I weird that it bothers me that the Replica 241 rims go in different directions on different sides of the car? It would seem that one side would have more drag.... right?

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    This does not explain why the harness they supplied me for my 2021 late May build plays all speakers.... and yours does not. They did not know when my car was built. Seems super random to me. If they knew in advance that there would be a different why not add another option on theur site. 2021...

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    That is really scary. A new harness? Why does mine work then? They shipped the shipped wrong box? Either way they are clearly not on top of things.

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    Very Bad Audio Preset. I original which I modded sounds decent. Fade does not work on the front woofers. That is not a problem for me as there is no reason to need the fader....just a toy imho.
  26. GregoryK

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    The "engineer" sent me an updated file. It was a joke. I guess I was just lucky that everything sounds OK. Although the fader is not exactly perfect. It is 180% better than stock. I drove a 2020 loaner with the stock system and it sound terrible compared to the Hansshow system.

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    So one of the rear JL Audio speaker I installed in the parcel shelf had a broken tab - so was not getting a signal. I pulled out the shelf and fixed the wiring. This had a big positive effect on the way the system sounds. It is now pretty awesome with less bass. Balanced. I spent an hour...

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    Also. Do you guys find that the hansshow amp/DSP takes too long to boot when you first get in the car? Mine takes like 15 seconds.
  29. GregoryK

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    All speakers seem to work in my case but the wiring is incorrect and the tweeters are barely audible. It should be instant refund but with the service I have had so far I doubt you will get money back. These guys are a joke and they have no idea what North American customer service is all about.

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    I just sat in my car for a time and played and listened. These cables are rubbish. First off my new rear parcel shelf speaker is not getting a signal from the amp. The speaker works if I hook it up to the left channel. The front door speakers are hooked up to the rear channels. So there is no...

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    Tech Support is no existent. The guys who speak English have zero tech knowledge or are not allowed to give advice (likely the last). They always "have to check with an engineer. The engineers only work during the day so there is a large delay....

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    I just installed this system on my M3 without radar. Only has 100km on it! Every speaker works in mine, but honestly I think the sub is not worth it. I put JL Audio C5 4" speakers in the parcel shelf. The whole system is way too powerful and bassy. Mind you I have not put the seats back together...

    Tesla Charges Credit Card [by owner request]

    So I like a paper receipt. Picked up my M3 today. With my trade I didn't owe much. The SA put a couple of charges on my credit card and when I asked for a receipt he said they it will show up in my account. There were 2 charges but I can't find either of these anywhere. Anyone have a clue...

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    Doesn't matter. You have to remove both shelves anyway. If it fits and is not damaged, go for it. If it does not fit or look good just put the 2019 speakers in the 2021 shelf.
  35. GregoryK

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    Why not just add a couple of 4 ohm speakers to the existing shelf? Yes you have to remove it and cut a hole for the speakers but you don't have to buy a used shelf and you know it will fit.
  36. GregoryK

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    I kinda figured that. The pins in the connectors can be pulled. Either that or cut the wires and reconnect then. Can you soldier and use shrink wrap?
  37. GregoryK

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    The amp has a bunch of wires go into it. Ground and Power for starters. Then it has the signal - I would believe that it is from one of the speakers. Can you disconnect those wires? If there is still noise with those disconnected then the amp is causing the problem. That connection from the...
  38. GregoryK

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    So the noise persists with the speaker feed cable unplugged? If so unplug the amp (the power cord or remove the ground) and see if the noise is still there.
  39. GregoryK

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    How many wires go into the amp? Try disconnecting the power wire and see if that stops it. Then try disconnecting the signal input wires. You need to figure where the hiss is generated. It is not rocket science.

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    I was going to buy this system. I have found Todd to be responsive. Maybe is out of town? Here's my take. Not sure where the Alpine amp is in your car. It should power off if you are not playing music. I would expose it and check to see if the power light goes off when the stereo is switched...

    Adding After Market Weather Stripping

    That's what I thought. Thanks.

    Adding After Market Weather Stripping

    I have a 2021 M3. I see ads everywhere for aftermarket weather stripping to stop noise. I know that some did this to early M3's. Has anyone done this to there 20/21 models and if so did it make any difference to the noise at speed?
  43. GregoryK

    Hansshow Audio Upgrade? (SR+)

    When you plugged in all the connectors did you tap into all 14 speakers plus the ICE connector? I have been told by Hansshow that it does but their staff do not seem to have great product knowledge. There is a huge difference in my mind between controlling all the speakers an just the front 6.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    So no lumbar support or auto dimming mirror on these cars? Has anyone heard these were canceled?

    So the DSP controls all the speakers in the car not just the 6 speakers it actives?

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Why does it seem so random. My page said June 11 to 26th then it went back to 3 to 13 weeks from date of order. I know this is not an uncommon occurrence......but you would think they would know in advance when you are slotted in!

    Model 3 SR+ Premium Sound System Upgrade Video

    I understand that on the full system that the amps talk to each other with A2B protocol. Tough to reproduce. Have you listened to the LR stereo and compared it to the results that you achieved? Would love to hear you thoughts on this.

    Model 3 SR+ Premium Sound System Upgrade Video

    The thing is with using the premade wiring kits is that they just use the head unit to power the additional speakers so the amp would just be for the sub if you went that way. I like the videos for the "TeslaOffer" he seems more together than the Hansshow videos. The Hansshow version F have a...
