    Understanding traffic data on navigation map

    All very confusing! I'll let you experts sort it out.

    Understanding traffic data on navigation map

    "In his usual dive into the source code, green discovered that Tesla appears to be moving away from its traffic data partner, INRIX. According to green, Tesla used to get this data exclusively from INRIX, and then moved to a combination of INRIX and their own data. Now it looks like Tesla will...

    Understanding traffic data on navigation map

    So, then, how real-time is the traffic information? My understanding is Tesla is no longer using Google data - only GPS from Tesla vehicles. Can't be that many in any one city.

    Understanding traffic data on navigation map

    I am having trouble understanding the traffic red and orange lines on the navigation map. I often see red or orange lines on a road when there are no cars there. Is the traffic map not in real time?

    Airbag warning light remained on

    Ok, at least they are consistent.

    Airbag warning light remained on

    Spoke to a service rep. He suggested cancelling the service appointment, as this is a known issue - a software glitch - not a problem with the airbags. Says an update is coming. If it is strictly a software issue, how come it is not more widespread?

    Airbag warning light remained on

    Well, the airbag warning symbol is back, so I am definitely keeping the booked service appointment. Thanks

    Airbag warning light remained on

    I have a 2 week old model 3. This morning when starting to drive, I heard a noise I have not heard before and then I noticed the airbag warning light stayed on. I booked a service app’t right away. Driving later in the day, it no longer is on. Anyone else experience this? Should I cancel the...

    Preconditioning question

    Ok, makes sense. I have a 48A, 240V outlet. I have turned off preconditioning for the summer. Will worry about it in the Fall. Thanks.

    Preconditioning question

    I thought preconditioning doesn’t draw electricity from battery if charger plugged in. Am I wrong?

    Preconditioning question

    You haven't lived till you've driven a Tesla on a sheet of ice!

    Preconditioning question

    Fair enough. No need for preconditioning till Fall. Will turn it off. BTW, I just ordered winter wheels/snow tires.

    Preconditioning question

    I understand the additional cost. Not an issue. I just wasn’t clear whether there was additional wear and tear on the car. I don’t really see the analogy with an ICE vehicle. Thanks.

    Preconditioning question

    I picked up my new M3LR this week (first Tesla). Phenomenal car! One question. I set precondition to 9AM each day. On the weekends, I may not go out till the afternoon. As long as the car is plugged in, is there any problem running preconditioning/interior temperature for several hours?

    I am new here and also with my Tesla model 3

    Hello all. I picked up my new M3LR this week (first Tesla). Phenomenal car! One question. I set precondition to 9AM each day. On the weekends, I may not go out till the afternoon. As long as the car is plugged in, is there any problem running preconditioning/interior temperature for several hours?

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I was notified my car left the factory 9 days ago and I have an app't to pick it up in 2 days. Took a ride to the sales center today in the hope my car arrived. Lo and behold, it was in the parking lot. So, 9 days or less from Fremont to Toronto. No defects I can see, but car not detailed yet...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Interesting issue. Need advice from people who have driven Teslas, and perhaps those a little older. I have delivery arranged for this Tuesday. Dropped in to the sales centre today and, for the first time, sat in a model 3. Now, I normally wear reading glasses when on a computer but I can't...

    Tesla reached out and I now have a delivery appointment scheduled for next Tuesday June 14.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Does anyone know if the 19" sport wheels come with summer or all season tires? The ones for sale in Tesla's shop are summer tires (Hankook).

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Just wondering if anyone with a VIN over 267 got the older “premium” headlights?

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Notified yesterday that my car is built and in transit. VIN in source code 2 days ago but not account. Bizarre that they would like me to pay now without the VIN listed. Anyways, I’m just nitpicking. Not going to pay till I pick up the car.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    How long after the VIN shows up in the source code does it show up in the account?

    Payment is usually by certified cheque or bank draft.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Saw VIN in source code yesterday (269). Just received text from Tesla that my car "departed from factory this morning and is in transit".

    Sorry, not my car. Heard about it on National News.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Model Y lost power and then caught fire this week in Vancouver. No collision. Same battery as M3LR?

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Congrats! I got a VIN 269 yesterday. EDD June 16-19. Hope no parts shortage.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Can anyone tell me, when a VIN shows up in the source code, does that indicate that the car has been built?

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Very interesting. I heard that contacting Tesla will sometimes move things along. My EDD was June10-24 (OD March 12) and no VIN. Yesterday I contacted a SA, for the first time, asking for an update. They had nothing new to offer - same EDD. This morning I received an email asking for payment, my...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    M3LR ordered March 12. EDD just pushed back to June 10-24. Decided to text Tesla and told them my EDD was just pushed back to June 10-24 and kindly asked if they could let me know where I am in the system. He/she let me know my estimated delivery date is June 10-24. Very helpful. :rolleyes:

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    First post. Ordered M3LR MSM/White, 19" wheels, No FSD, March 12. EDD just moved back 1 week to June 10-24. No VIN. Had my first communication with Tesla today asking about trade-in. Shouldn't be too long now (hopefully).
