Yes, tried a Lysol product. Helped for a while, but nothing ever makes it go away.

I did. I see this was useless as everyone assumes that today is my first day and I've not read through this post. I ask about ozone generators and everyone wants to re-diagnose because it couldn't be even remotely possible that I have a damn clue what I'm doing. Thanks anyway.

I live in Souther Ontario (Great Lakes), so the same as southern Michigan or upstate NY. Fair mix of seasons. The car was a company demo car and sat for long periods. During one of those periods last summer it got a terrible molde infestation. After cleaning the coils it got better, but the...

So my car continues to have this issue after replacing the filters and cleaning the coils twice. I even removed the filters and fogged the intake with lysol while the fan was running. I'm thinking the mold spread up the vents after the previous owner left it uncleaned for too long. Has anyone...

The challenge is this. When you get close to 2000lb you'd be nuts not to use weight distribution. The stealth hitch can NOT take weight distribution. I think you'd be OK with some jet skis, and you could make it work better by lengthening the coupler/a-frame of the trailer. I've only ever worked...

The motorcycle won't be in the live camera feed if the camera isn't pointed at the motorcycle. Motorcycles fit in places that are beside the car and not in view of the camera. Let me simplify this for you: YOUR A DANGEROUS DRIVER IF THINK THERE IS ANY HOPE OF THIS WORKING! YOU ARE GOING TO KILL...

I What you feel is not what's true. You're ASSUMING that you can see everything and not checking your blind spot. It's basically a matter of time before you kill a motorcyclist. You're no different than those old people that put those tiny convex mirrors in the corner of their side mirrors. The...

This conversation is why insurance rates are higher on Teslas. No technology allows you to not drive the car. The fact that people that don't want to drive keep buying Teslas is why they get crashed more than any other car. PAY ATTENTION! DRIVE THE CAR!

I never figured it out. Scheduled a service appointment to bring me a pair of new keys. Handed the tech the old key and explained it stopped working. He walked up to the car and it worked. Had him give me two more just to be safe.

Phone keys have all stopped working. The car in questions is a company car, with two other Teslas in the fleet. There are three keys for this car, but only one that we are positive is for this car. NONE of our Tesla key cards work to unlock the door, or to start driving. The phone keys that are...

Awww, that's so cute... try it with a trailer.

Just thought of this. Is you're phone in your back pocket? I get this if I have my phone in my back pocket. My body being in the way blocks signal enough to prevent unlock. I have a pair of bluetooth headphones that due the same thing, so I knew what it was immediately.

I've noticed this when towing and have advised people the not navigate to the supercharger if they think their range might be borderline. When you might not make it, a few extra minutes of supercharging is nothing to an hour on a J1772. Now when I'm not towing, I don't worry about it. The long...

The Model 3 that I'm buying from my work fleet just ran out of warranty on Dec 23rd and on the 29th I discovered that the driver side mirror won't adjust. I tried helping it with my hand and got one axis freed up, but it still won't tilt "up & left". The car is a 2019 model. Has anyone else...

Kind of tempted with:

Yea NO WAY. This is all kinds of illegal pretty much everywhere.

I should clarify, I posted the video because it's all I could think of when I read the OP. I also work in customer service and see this kind of thing all the time.

I know there's lots of discussions on this, but they're not relevant if the products don't exist anymore. I'm buying a used 2019 Dual Motor and I'm looking for some interior accessories and having some trouble finding options still in stock. Specifically I'm looking for a center console...

This depends on whether the car manufacturer has it's US and Canadian corporations separate or combined. I'm not sure how Tesla is organized. When US and Canada are the same company it's usually no issue. For example you can drive into any Mazda dealer in North America and get warranty repairs...

BTW, The boss has made me an offer I can't refuse and I'm buying this car. Currently at 45,000km (2019 car). This car spends it's life either sitting, not plugged in, or doing highway trips, half of those with trailers. I recently got back from a trip that took me from London, ON to Moncton, NB...

So, the reason mine stalled is because it tripped a breaker. I left it for a few hours, then when nothing changed I went into the shop to check on it. Turns out the 50A welder plug at work was on a 30A breaker. I reset the breaker, set the car to 28A and it completed the test. I scored 89% BTW...

I'm trying this on a used model 3. Plugged it in at work and the app shows it stopped charging at 56%. It's been about 16hts since starting. Anyone else experience this and still have success! There is very very little info on this test online.

Pre-2021 cars you use one of the USB plugs in the center console.

BTW My problem was solved by manually creating the folders on the drive. Which I had to do by copying my bosses drive. I could find no reference online that correctly described the correct folder names and locations.

You gotta remember that the basic theme of the movie is "What Stupid People Do During Crisis"

You can buy the bottom trim, with the removable panel, from Tesla. At the shop I work at we just trim the original bottom panel around the hitch. This allows less dirt and salt to get into the underbelly. If you want to use a removable receiver hitch like the stealth, then order the underbelly...

Reply here since the site wont let me make a new post. I just installed a brand new Samsung T7 SSD per recommendations from this forum. Format worked, but still no dash cam. (did this while super charging and posting this from the supercharger).

The one consistent trigger that sets my wipers off without fail is street lights at night. if I see street lights I have to turn off autopilot or its constant wipers every time. No visible pitting.

Again, it's just about pressure stability. If you can get all the water out of the tire, then the pressure won't climb nearly as much as the tire heats. This matters to people going to the race track... and pretty much nobody else.

The point of Nitrogen is that pure nitrogen has no moisture content. It's the moisture content that causes pressure fluctuations. Pure nitrogen is much more pressure stable. This also means that not purging the tires multiple times makes it pointless. Never EVER pay someone for nitrogen. Flat...

Oh, no. The lack of aerodynamics in trailers is a combination of stupidity and an absolute zero level of customer demand. We used to sell lots of trailers that you could tow with a V6 SUV, no it's pretty much just Airstream. The single most important factor is height. Having the trailer lower...

Agreed, a lot of people would prefer the A2124 simply for the layout. A good way to think about it is a 21' that tows like a 17'. Also a little tidbit. I don't think we've done a direct test on our Tesla, but a 1743 should also be more aerodynamic than a 1713. The teardrop shape isn't an...

The hitch pictured with the trailer is custom made by my work place. I won't say the name for fear of running afowl of the moderators, but google "towing airstream with tesla" and you'll find us. We now modify a CURT receiver to make it strong enough and that's the hitch I'd recommend as being...

It's really hard to quote numbers, because it's so weather dependent (head wind). But we've seen pretty consistently near 300Wh/km in neutral wind, driving 90km/h (55mph). The pictured combination got low 300's on the trip I took it on, which justifies testing back to back, but I never have the...

The Basecamp might be heavier to than the Alto, but it uses significantly less power to tow, thanks to better aerodynamics. The Alto 2124 Model does rival this though. I have personal experience towing most Alto models and most Airstream models under 25' with a Model 3 long range. I work for a...

A trailer getting so bad it flips over is usually an issue with not enough tongue weight in the trailer. "Sway" experienced when towing is usually the tow vehicle. When you connect a trailer with a simple ball mount the tongue weight of the trailer pressing down on the ball will cantilever some...

Be careful with instructions online. Most people, including the SAE, which I'm a card carrying member of, are doing weight distribution wrong. This video is the Model 3 and Trailer from the Truck King video. This is how to actually do it.

Still driving it and towing it. I just used it to deliver a trailer to a customer last Thursday night. No towing related issue. This car has been sitting outside with a trailer attached since this past spring so it's got some mold in the AC (lots of posts about that, it's obviously a common...

I admit that I know lots of people running those CURT controllers and not having issues. Our results seem kind of "one-off" but I don't think brakes are worth risking it for even a one off result. The other problem with the CURT controller is that it sticks out really far and the mounting...

The OP is in Finland, so I think they mean below zero C, not zero F. Range is affected. Pay attention to your navigation. It compensates for your current power usage. The little range indicator next to the battery does not.

I believe the easiest place to pull 12V is under the passenger side rear seat? I'm not sure, I don't watch the guys doing the wiring. We usually wire it so that the brakes run of the trailers battery, so there's no load on the Tesla. You couldn't use the CURT Bluetooth death trap (BTW when we...

The only Model 3 pictures I have are of the unit in the video. I don't have up-to-date pictures. I have a customer orientation with a Model 3 this afternoon. I'll try and remember to take a picture of their trunk. Our own Model 3 goes out through the bumper cover. The way we currently do them is...

I don't mean the weight distribution of the trailer's weight. That's an issue with cargo trailers, where you load them. With an RV the manufacturer decided this when they built all the cabinets and installed the tanks. I mean a weight distribution system to balance the tongue weight on front...

Our fleet Model 3 has developed this at the front. Sounds just like Polyurethane bushings without enough lube. Sway bar would back sense to me for what I'm hearing.

BTW, I work at the dealer that prepped the Model 3 in that video and part of my job is answering Tesla towing emails Long story short. Total weight has next to nothing to due with what you can and can't tow. We don't even look at tow weight ratings. We look at individual details of the cars...

I work for an RV dealer that also has two Teslas in it's tow vehicle fleet, so I'm pretty familliar with this topic. I don't know where these companies selling "EV TT30 - 14-50" adapters are talking about. Every single one of those that anyone has ever posted a link to is always I easily...

As of the last time I looked it up, there's no software that can do that on an Android phone that doesn't require a monthly subscription (with Aladdin connect, as of spring winter 2021 when I installed the openers). I'm not paying per month to avoid pressing a button. That's a matter of...

Oh and BTW. I've been using Aladdin Connect for about 18 months and it has had a network error exactly once in that time (which might have been my local internet)

I'm wondering something similar. I have an Aladdin Connect door opener. I paid to import it into Canada because Aladdin Connect IS FREE! The Model 3 I'm considering buying doesn't even show a Homlink option. It only shows MyQ as the only garage door intigration. I have to assumer somebody bribed...
