    Aside from Pedal Control (Normal to Sport) - how else to tell if the car has Accel Boost?

    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...

    Normal for front camera defroster to be on during dry summer hot day?

    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...

    Charging efficiency/losses for Level 1 and Level 2?

    I've read a few articles that show Level 1 charging had the most losses at 20% or more. Many articles mention increasing the current and definitely increasing the voltage helps reduce these losses down to like 10%. However I am using a 6-15 outlet at home (12A / 240V charging). My local utility...

    Is there a way to reset the TPMS target pressure?

    I have a 2022 with the Bluetooth TPMS sensors. I kept reading about ways to reset the TPMS so you can choose a different target pressure but could never find more details. Is this even possible?

    Turn Signal intermittently doesn't work

    So I thought it was my imagination at first, but I can confirm my 22 M3LR turn signal intermittently doesn't want to work, whether quick tapping or full activation. It's during the oddest times and I haven't found any correlation. Sometimes its leaving my driveway and going to the first...

    Tesla brand Model 3 fob - battery lifespan?

    I bought a new Tesla fob for my 2022 M3LR last year when I got the car new, and the fob basically sat in a drawer for the winter as I wasn't driving the car. It's been roughly 6 months and have been able to drive the car now a few days without issue. Just today the fob stopped working and the...

    Opening Trunk when doors locked (proximity sensor for fob/phone?)

    I don't use my phone as a key, and just use the Tesla fob. I noticed that I cannot open the trunk when my doors are locked. Even when I manually open the front door (which seems to have a proximity sensor for my fob), the trunk can't be opened with the button on the trunk itself. I have to...

    Tesla SSD coming February 2023

    I just noticed this recently added to the Tesla Shop https://shop.tesla.com/product/solid-state-drive-_-1-tb I thought the consensus was to use a SD card because they can handle write cycles better as well as extreme temperatures?

    Has anyone bought the Tesla-branded Model 3 Performance Pedals?

    I know there are tons of aftermarket "Performance pedals" being sold, but I don't see the Tesla-branded ones on their shop site anymore. Has anyone ever bought these for $150 and compared them to the less expensive aftermarket pedals? How different/similar are they? I looked at the Tesla parts...

    Storing Tesla for winter - tow mode indefinitely? wheel chocks?

    I'm going to storing the M3LR for the winter and wanted to know if anyone had info on storing the car in tow/transport mode "indefinitely" (more like 6 months)? I normally use wheel chocks for my ICE vehicles and roll it into the chocks in Neutral, then shift to park (never using the parking...

    Weight shift and handling? M3LR

    The other day I came across a traffic circle / roundabout that I'm familiar with but haven't driven the Tesla through until now. I normally take it at 35-45 mph in any of my other cars (4300 lb. Taurus SHO, 4100 lb. Fusion Sport, 4900 lb. Explorer etc). It's not a static "donut" but more like a...

    Longer to charge at home in colder weather?

    The ambient temperatures have dipped significantly lower the past few days. It normally took 2-3 hours to charge for my daily drive using 12A/240V (6-15). Just the past 2 days with the ambient temps in the 30F-40F range, I now have to charge it for 4.5 hours. I also hear a lot of different...

    Launching from a stop: Noticeable hesitation with M3LR.

    One thing I've noticed on my 2022 M3LR is that there's some noticeable hesitation when launching from a stop. Like it takes a while for it to build up enough power. Once at speed, the instant torque is very noticeable but it will have trouble taking on normal cars (like a regular Blazer) from...

    Successfully Converted 5-15 (15A/115V) to 6-15 (15A/240V)!

    So rather than continue to highjack the CCS Adapter superthread here ("New" Sources of Tesla 'OEM,' Tesla-like, and/or Third-Party CCS1 Adapters), I figured I'd start a new thread. Recall my charging situation is very limited. It'd cost an exorbitant amount of money/time to have a 14-50 wired...

    Long term reports/reviews on base/LR brakes versus Performance brakes?

    Are there any known long-term issues for the base/LR brakes versus the Performance brakes? I'm not talking stopping power so much as issues in general. Is one caliper design more prone to corrosion than the other? In reading about the base brakes (Brembo front/Mando rear calipers) they use...

    Ordering Tesla Model 3 in Michigan...

    So I had a bunch of questions about ordering a Tesla living in Michigan, and most indications were to start a reservation. I did that, and now I'm getting a better picture as things are popping up - Like how they want me to pay for the car fully once the VIN is assigned immediately (then it's 72...
