That's great news!! So is Service Mode Plus/+ only activated via the hardware Toolbox at a Service Center? Is it a permanent switch to enable it? I take it that the best we can do at home is regular Service Mode?

I wish Chill would tone down the first 1/4-1/2 throttle but still allow full power at wide open. Looking more at the deltas the 0.4 seconds difference in 0-60 mph and 1/4 Mile ET between the LRAB and M3P is probably 50% due to the 60' times. For some reason the M3P (60' in 1.7-1.8 seconds) can...

0.4 seconds isn't what I'd say is significantly faster for 0-60 and 1/4 mile ET. The trap speeds are also very similar. I was referencing the power output of the 3D3 front and 3D1 (M3P) and 3D5 (M3LR) motors. LRAB makes the front 3D3 motor produce the same power as on the M3P. But the M3P 3D1...

I only mentioned it because in another thread they were saying previous installs weren’t working.

I have 2024.2.7 on a 2022 Model 3 LR, and the DIY Homelink still works. Activated my garage door just fine and I see the icon in the top part of the screen. I installed it in October 2023.

Back in the fall time frame I wanted to buy the Homelink direct from Tesla and install it myself, however the only option on the app was to have it shipped to a Service Center and for me to go there with an appointment for the install.

From what I have read, the 3D3 front motors are the same but stock Long Range needs the Accel Boost to increase its power output capability to match the Performance. The rear 3D5 and 3D1 is where the main difference is, but when I added up the power output it was like 490 hp for the Model 3 Long...

Someone at work who was thinking of getting an EV was arguing that there's no way to charge in the desert between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, so I pulled out my Tesla app and showed the SC's in real-time between LA and Vegas as well as around Barstow. I noticed that many of these SC's had up to...

The best decision I made was to go with the stock 18" on my Model 3 LR. 235/45R18 offer a very smooth ride. My 2017 Fusion Sport (which weighs the same as the Model 3 LR) had 235/40R19 which is the OE 19" Tesla size, and those rode like rocks and I lost 2 tires and 1 wheel due to potholes. I...

I’d get the Performance if it came with factory 18” wheels. I will not play the wheel swap game. That’s something I’d consider if I were 20 years younger.

I don't need much boost at all on EcoBoost. The secret to tuning it (and I wrote a guide BTW) is not to increase the boost but rather to increase the torque limiters to levels that the drivetrain can handle, massage the max spark advance with the right fueling, etc... The factory speed density...

I was talking about 60' times in your original question. No one is questioning the performance of the Model 3 LR/AB/Perf in general. The 60' times I mention are taken from the timeslips at dragstrips. I'll say it again, that split second delay in the Model 3 LR and LRAB is rather annoying when...

I was referring to only 60' times. The Model 3 LR is about 2 seconds, and Model 3 LRAB is something like 1.9 seconds and Model 3 Performance is 1.7-1.8 seconds My tune-only SHO would do 1.8 seconds all day long on worn out street tires, same with my tune-only Fusion Sport. The SHO's with drag...

It's frustrating right? The last few times I had it happen to me, I started tapping the sh*t out of the turn signal lever like 5-7 times and it never turned the signal on. Luckily with the latest software update, I no longer need to hold it / or go to the 2nd position. Just 1 half-tap usually...

My Ford intelligent access key fobs transmit at 902 MHz and only work in proximity to the car. But I am able to open any of the 4 doors or trunk of my 2017 Fusion Sport by walking up with the fob in my pocket and pushing the trunk button or grabbing the door handle to open. Battery is DL2450 and...

That's a fair point - but my Model 3 doesn't detect the fob when it is in its faraday pouch. The Bluetooth signal of the fob may be transmitting continuously but wouldn't power consumption be lower if it doesn't connect? Otherwise I am assuming this is an inherent issue with the use of...

Wireless charging has always heated up my phones quite a bit. I always noticed battery life being more diminished the more I use wireless charging. Now I use the slowest 5W charger for my iPhone at home when I go to sleep.

Thanks for doing this. I bought some made via Xometry as well as the other one from Thingiverse - the cone style ones that slip over the clips. Your design is interesting, it seemed like it wasn't the load bearing part of the clip unless it is bolted in through both holes. There's enough of a...

Exactly! I'd expect this from only about a 50 hp/ft-lb increase to the front motor up to ~40 mph. I like it quite a bit but its not on the scale that I've seen described by others on the Internet.

I can see the higher power consumption with the accel Boost but honestly it's just a subtle difference to me. Maybe it's because I'm used to fast acceleration. I have gas cars that do the 60' faster than the Model 3 Performance.

I decided to buy the Accel Boost upgrade again, and this time around it does show up under the Software Tab. My guess is that the first time around, had I waited until the refund period was over it may show up. Probably a hard code that shows Accel Boost as a package once you can't refund it...

Just wanted to chime in - Location detection works great. I noticed that I need to have a key with me in order to use Homelink. This is kind of neat because in other cars with Homelink (e.g. my 2017 Fusion Sport) that are on the visor/mirror, if you manage to access the interior you can use the...

I bought a kit off eBay. Looks like a genuine Tesla Homelink unit, even had a July 2023 manufacture date. I would have paid the extra for the $350 Tesla kit direct, except they no longer ship to you in a sealed box - it goes to the Tesla SC. Took under 1 hour to do the full install. Most...

Reading through this thread, it seems for my 2022 Model 3 that I don't need to remove the bumper cover if I use one of the 2 holes by the frunk release latch? Would the Tesla E-Torx screw from the Homelink kit work in that hole? Has anyone encountered water/vibration damage to the module in this...

I looked at the factory service manual for the Homelink install on the 2022 Model 3, and looks like the front fascia does have to come off or at least pried like the tech is doing in the above photos? Model Y seems to be accessible via the frunk opening (with the tub removed).

Wasn’t my question though. Since the weight distro is biased to the rear I’ve heard more than once that even Tesla techs will just use the rear to rotate the tires on each side. Just wanted to know what he saw with his Tesla.

Did he lift it from the rear only for each side? I've heard of Tesla mobile SC techs doing that.

Referral points are definitely the way to go. I don't have anyone to refer to and everyone I know is really against EVs. The gearheads are all about manuals/loud ICE's which is fine but they're not even open to the idea of EVs. My biggest complaint with the Model 3 is the abysmal 60' times...

I agree, might have not been anything but almost 24 hours went by, I didn't see anything, and I couldn't even send out a service request as the app wouldn't let me.

No worries! I'm just a bit disappointed in this.

Yes, overnight. I woke up this morning and went to check and it still doesn't show up under Software. I was referring really to the difference between Standard and Sport. Chill is supposed to be the same across RWD, LR, and Perf. In Sport mode, the car didn't feel any faster than Standard...

I tried sending a service request but it wouldn't let me escalate and just told me I had the latest software update. I requested a refund and literally within moments, the touchscreen flashed and my pedal control went back to Chill and Standard. It just seemed odd that I didn't see Accel Boost...

I don't have FSD. Does that make sense? I actually just got a software update today, something new Greek language and minor improvements (2023.32.4) I held the 2 steering buttons to reset/reboot about 6 times already. I actually just finished powering off the car and powering it back on. I'm...

Well this is mine. My pedal options are Chill and Sport. I drove it around and it didn't feel any faster.

What year is yours? I’m wondering if Ryzen doesn’t show it.

What model year is yours?

I got the upgrade for my 22 Model 3 LR. The only indication of the upgrade was a message/notification saying a vehicle change would execute when the touch screen would turn off, and the pedal control went from Normal to Sport. I had done numerous Google searches and people showed how under...

FYI - it took 5 hours and I had the car in Park w/ WiFi since the moment I ordered it. I saw the message "Vehicle update will take into effect the next time the touchscreen is turned off", got out of the car and closed the door, then opened to find it rebooting the screen. Then I saw the "Sport"...

If anyone wants to know what its like to be in the Army, this is pretty much it.

I agree. It should just keep recording and filling up, then overwrite the old stuff. I tried using the wheel button but every time I went to reboot the computer it'd save the video. I end up just keeping it in my quick access bar on the main screen.

I always check the CR2032 voltage after I pull it. Their voltage level should still be good, so I am not sure what's going on. I've set up the Phone Key feature now, and was hesitant to use it because of power draw. But as long as I force close the app, it won't use power. And if I need to use...

My 22 Model 3 LR had the camera defroster running at 92F ambient, sunny and hot, and I didn't have the A/C running nor defroster on, no sentry mode, and it wasn't from solar loading due to the sun (sun had already set). Only reason I knew it was running was when I went to clean my windshield and...

Not sure what the fan has to do with the electric defroster grid by the front camera?

It’s 92F today and I don’t have the defroster on obviously and i don’t have the AC running either. I parked my 22 Model 3 LR in my garage after driving it and went to clean the windshield with Windex and I noticed the defroster grids in front of the front camera are VERY warm to the touch. The...

In the tests I've done, if I drift over the line (which is normally how I change lanes) without using the turn signal, the lane departure kicks in. It's quite sensitive. So the computer is obviously picking up my turn signal input. It just doesn't want to turn on the indicator lights for...

Nah that doesn't seem to work either. I can press the turn signal stalk 12 times and it just won't register a turn signal output. However the computer obviously detects the user input as I am changing lanes without "signaling", so the steering should be fighting me as if I were changing a lane...

So in other words no one else can Can you show me which screen/display you're looking at for this info? Sounds like I'm on the right track with 12A/240V being less efficient than the higher current Level 2 charging. I'm guessing its not going to be far off from Level 1 charging losses?

App rounds down to 5 kWh. My utility company data shows about 5.3-5.4 kWh of usage and that I have taken into account whatever is running at the time in the house which is almost constant throughout the day. I suspect it is my fridge. So 5.3-5.4 kWh of usage during charging and charging only...

Good points, but I only drive the car from Point A to Point B. No sentry mode at all, no climate preconditioning or cabin overheat protection, I don't sit in the car to eat lunch. I don't use the A/C even in the summer heat and specifically not for the several days of specific data I used to...

I'm using the Tesla Mobile Connector with 6-15 adapter. I schedule my charge at 0300 and there's nothing else using big power at the time (can confirm this), and even if there was, its about 100W and I already accounted for it. I am an energy miser and basically don't run anything else in the...
