Many of us have tried pushing it and couldn’t figure out which/where battery contactors to open to get the item to successful take action. Right now if you push it, you will get a failed message because your contactors are still closed. Since it is a BMS related, it needs a open circuit on the...

Great data point. I never thought of it like that but makes sense and can see that happening. I will have to try it and experience it. Thankfully there is a switch in the menus to be able to just go back to Autopilot and disable the FSD function.

Yeah that would have been a nice drive back in FSD to try out. But I only do updates at my house and never when on the road somewhere else, unless I know there is a service center or I can manage being stuck somewhere a day or two. My nephew had a failed update once and had a tow back to...

Downloaded. Nothing really new for my M3P. Its not an FSD trial build and not complaining since I have a road trip in Mid May and hope my FSD trial slot lines up with that.

Is there more to this answer? Officially and within the car guess-o-meter they don’t. But surely the batteries didn’t shrink (or did they?) nor did the drivetrain become more inefficient, so what should a 2022 MYP owner make of this 2024 MYP EPA range delta? Asked another way: If you had a...

I would think it would either clip in or go under something. I think mine is a plastic panel and not carpet panel. I have a 2022 MYP.

That carpet panel looks loose where the seat belt is running from? Maybe a clip or something rattling. For these I typically like to get a frequency generator and play it through the car Bluetooth loudly and see if I can find a frequency that makes the rattle happen and diagnose from there in...

This was done in your driveway?

Get some estimates on your own. Not through the insurance. They can still raise your premium with a $0 claim. From there decide cost analysis of impact to car record carfax and insurance premium increase. Good thing is this is pretty easy to repair. Other car looks to be white as well.

I get the same 2 faults since I had the car. Looked around in forums and saw others with same faults and service center claim no issue with this nuisance fault since its only in service mode not customer facing. Have left it alone. Numerous road trips, and no issue.

Gives me flashback to when I had this similar issue at a VW dealer with my new car that needed a tire balance for vibration. Nice gloss black rims and every rim and lugnut hole was chipped. The dealer investigated and found were not using a protected socket when supposed to. Got all brand new...

Really good conversations going on here. Valid points on both. Wish I can contribute but I have the heat pump system and my knowledge and opinion is around the operation of that system type which the OP was inquiring about. For the PTC version, let’s be honest and transparent. Do you we think...

Go into Service Mode and watch the heat pump do its thing. And compare to your friends. There are also a couple of performance tests you can run in service mode. And keep bugging the service center.

Same situation here. Kids in boosters and they can’t buckle themselves and it is difficult finding original buckle buried in the seat from outside position by rear door with my ass crack likely already exposed. Anymore and will need soap… But haven’t had issues with the SBPros unbuckling but...

Yeah the brace still isn’t perfect. Feels like it just converts the load into a different direction of weakness.

Let get technical and not quote a commercial/residential general HVAC website. These systems are all considered part of a thermal management system. (TMS). High end thermal management systems understand that all mediums above absolute zero contain energy. You are playing and hiding behind the...

Sam T, what an inconsiderate and rude post. In a nice way I liked to explain but I regret now even responding and adding to the thread. Good luck with your quest towards “eco mode”. For everyday you drive your Tesla and don’t have your requested feature, think of this thread and what the...

I would like to explain further since maybe your response here makes me believe you may not know what a heat pump is nor how heat transfer works. There is no “heater core” nor “air-con” in the traditional sense in a Tesla. A modern Tesla doesn’t have a seperate heater and a seperate air...

The heat pump (assuming you have a more modern Tesla) is a variable speed system. As you set the system to AUTO at the desired temperature the heat pump control system will run to effieciently get the cabin to your desired temperature (heat or cool) quickly and then will run at the minimum speed...

Probably knocked some bumper liner and/or wheel wheel liner away and that’s why you’re seeing some metal now. So likely a bunch of loose clips you need to get back on. And something probably dragging on a wheel when you turn steering wheel or even dragging on ground.

BDW is brake disk wiping function. When wipers are on, the brake disks will slightly clamp at a periodic rate to ensure water is off the disk in case of needing max brake performance in an emergency brake situation. You should be able to clear this by turning wipers on while driving to let it...

I think I have about 5% degradation on the vehicle. If you are seeing up to 10% difference, then maybe that is your degradation that isn’t being accounted for upfront? And will be now? Also, When you say 10% do you mean in absolute or as a ratio of final SoC? Both 10% vs 20% SoC and 9% vs 10%...

I was thinking it was neither the battery icon range or the energy app range. I was thinking it was the trip computer calc range when you enter a navigation destination. There were updates last year that said it would start to account for temp, wind, humidity, elevation etc. So my thought was...

You’re fine. Even Boeing thinks it’s safe.

You should think about the below with the included pins to help secure for a more robust long term solution. https://www.mountainpassperformance.com/product/tesla-front-lower-control-arm-bearings-model-3-y/?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5b6z35KfhAMVEBOtBh0eawndEAAYASAAEgIdVfD_BwE

It’s from your 2018 Model 3 Front Lower Control Arm. 100% sure especially with those marks on thread as it got loose over time. Those bolts have been known to get loose overtime.

Some mixed results. You were tracking very well for most of the drive. At the Mile 85 downhill your actual regen didn’t match predicted but eventually predicted and actual became aligned at Mile 100. Focus should be on that. Is that a sudden tailwind/headwind change thing? Like you had a...

What’s your secret on bouncing back? Lol

Great news. Is a new battery one that would show 358? Possible your range may calibrate up some more? Keep us updated. Everybody worries about the 30% degradation and what kind of battery they would get under warranty. Unlikely anybody will hit that degradation threshold. I worry more about...

Search for content from Eivissa. I recall a chart by SoC and battery temperature that then shows available power.

And the sound to me sounds like a camera flash and then charging for the next flash.

Pretty hilarious if you had taken it to Tesla. That sound is what I have selected too. But It didnt default to that at first though.

I am with you guys and see the lack of certification piece of it. Unfortunately, for my personal reasons I will need to continue to use a seat belt extender. I can argue that the coilovers on my car are not tested either. Plenty of other parts of the car that are not OEM and subjected to high...

Im in Vegas and I think it went through its peak already. We all in our extended family got sick pretty bad before Christmas but nobody was able to confirm a covid positive. Now with other people coming into town and if you mingling within then yes the risk is up there. But locally feels like...

Lol, sorry. I meant the one linked to above called from “seat belt extender pros”. You enter your year/make/model of car and it spits out the compatible version seat belt extender.

I have the official Seat Belt Extender for my 2022 MYP and they do work. I use it for my daughters booster seat.

Glad you got it corrected to your liking. Which Vegas SC did you go to?

I know this was quite the thread with bleed challenges. Noticed new service mode has brake bleed options. Thoughts? If anybody gets some experience with these functions please post.

Just watched the video and pulled the duct out. Easy convincing to me what the issue is with the Model 3 design.

Interesting. Maybe Re-update your home address so it doesnt line up to be the same as the supercharger?

Hmm, one hour of driving while preconditioning. You would think it is more even. I may be doing a trip soon that requires supercharging and will watch. I personally use the coolant loop page. You get to see the battery coolant loop temperature as well. One thing, just make sure service mode...

Were you driving while preconditioning? Typically just driving would put battery at around 30C easy for your ambient temps. Im going to say your battery temp was low to start with which is also big factor in creating a temperature delta. The way the coolant loop snakes through the battery it...

How long was preconditioning going for before this? What was ambient temp? I notice I only get a larger battery temp delta if I dont precondition. For example if I parked at a mall for over an hour and then went straight to supercharger in the same parking lot, there is large delta like this...

I use the Husky brand inflator and works well and have not had a compatibility issues with both of my 16V Teslas. Not sure if available wherr you are. Husky 12-Volt Corded Electric Inflator HD12A - The Home Depot

I didnt assume. I just read the very 1st sentence of the thread.

Any chance this improves with any below? 1. pack rebalance (charge above 95%) 2. a BMS recalibration (discharge to low SoC and sleep for several hours, then charge to high SoC and sleep several hours) 3. A long drive. Continue repeatedly.

@AAKEE @DrChaos Great feedback and dialogue. Especially when its data driven. I think the fact that I live in hot desert area makes me look for how to optimize the crap out of my cycle usage for both my wife’s Tesla and mine to offset that. Couple that with being an engineer (aerospace...

Thats how I understood it. In 10% increments depth of discharge. So for somebody doing a discharge from 65% to 15%, you would degrade at the 65-55% rate, then 55-45% rate, then 45-35% rate, then 35-25% rate, then 25-15% rate. Total 50% of charge used. But that is not the best way to minimize...

Looking at the recent SoC cycling dataset again. It really looks like triple the degradation when cycling in the 15-20% range as compared to cycling around 40-50%. And almost double the degradation as compared to even cycling around 90%.

The chart you show above and another one that youve shown in the past suggest low SoC cycling reduced cyclic aging. This recent data in this thread shows low SoC accelerated cyclic aging tremendously and is the worst SoC to cycle at. The recent data has kind of made me avoid wanting to go below...
