    Using a leaf blower to clean radiator…

    Yeah, a YouTube video on this process would be more than welcome!

    Please help with Charging message

    Yeesh. But congratulations. Glad to hear it.

    Bluetooth goes in and out - 2 different names for the car showing

    For whatever reason, I haven’t had the problem in the last few weeks. Maybe an update helped. Maybe it’s that I’m being sure to sit in the seat, buckle the seat belt, and apply the brake. That has brought up the Bluetooth and the PIN to drive every time.

    My only beef with my new "Highland"

    So what's the explanation for the video?

    Please help with Charging message

    That's awful. I'm sure you've thought of this, but if the Service Center is reasonably close, I would drive there and just insist that they straighten this out while you're there. As @Watts_Up says, I've found the Service Center front-desk people very helpful as a rule.

    My only beef with my new "Highland"

    (1) There's sometimes a slight delay in cancelling Autopilot when I use the scroll wheel. I agree that the brake is often better. (2) I certainly don't have Terrain View in my Highland AWD -- and never heard of it, frankly.

    Ambient lighting virtually non-existent

    Yeah, I changed it from “auto” to “on,” and it’s much nicer night and day.

    "Charge limit at this location" not sticking

    Thanks. No, it's not a Tesla charger. We have another (older) EV and we bought the J1772 charger for that car a while back.

    Can I look up past charging stats?

    No, if I try that for, say, June 2024, it says no charging data available. I've only charged at home in June. Says the same thing for pdf or CSV. App version v4.34.1-2711. And "charging history" only shows Supercharger sessions. But "Charge Stats," from the main page, shows my home charging...

    Can I look up past charging stats?

    But that only shows Supercharger charging sessions, no?

    How can I get more detailed charging stats?

    Hi all. Probably this has been discussed before, but I did a search and didn't find much. Is there a way on the Tesla app to get more detailed charging stats (e.g., time, kWh, cost, etc.) for each session? And to have them there permanently? Alternatively, are the other apps that folks use...

    Extremely loud lock sound

    Seems quieter again (at the volume I want) after 2024.20 update.

    "Charge limit at this location" not sticking

    Ah, I’ll try that.
  15. MAPekala

    "Charge limit at this location" not sticking

    I dunno. I don’t want to strain the home system . . .
  16. MAPekala

    "Charge limit at this location" not sticking

    I set the amperage for my charge at 40 every time I charge at home. And, every time, when I try to start charging, the car has it set at 48 amps. What am I doing wrong?

    Are there really air vents under the front seats in the Model 3 Highland?

    Ah, thanks. I’ll get those if I can’t get Taptes to help. (I actually bought the Taptes ones, not the ones I put in the original post, but they’re identical.)

    Are there really air vents under the front seats in the Model 3 Highland?

    Ah, so are those vents for heat and not A/C?

    A glob of yellow goo?

    Found this glob of yellow goo in my month-old Model 3 in the passenger seat track when I was trying to install under-seat vent covers. It hadn’t dried. I got rid of it and it doesn’t really bother me, but any idea what this could be? Thanks.

    Are there really air vents under the front seats in the Model 3 Highland?

    Thanks! I see the "vents" in my car, under each of the front seats, but (a) the vent covers don't seem to fit (even though they're advertised for the Highland) and (b) does air actually come out of those? It doesn't seem to with the A/C on in the back. The first picture below is under the...

    Cabin Overheat Protection - Necessary?

    I traded in my 2011 BMW for a Model 3 a month or so ago. The cabin in my BMW would often get SO HOT (160 degrees or more) that components in the car actually melted and became gooey and sticky. I have a nice, new $50,000 car and I'm using Cabin Overheat Protection now in the summer months.

    Are there really air vents under the front seats in the Model 3 Highland?

    I got these covers for the back seat air vents (Amazon.com), but I don't think these really go with the Highland. For one thing, I don't think the air comes out of that vent in the floor. It comes out of vents below the rear touchscreen. For another thing, the "vent" under the driver's seat...

    Wiki Model 3 Highland Ultimate Accessory List

    I got these covers for the back seat air vents (https://www.amazon.com/BASENOR-2024-Model-Highland-Protection/dp/B0CS3B88WX?th=1), but I don't think these really go with the Highland. For one thing, I don't think the air comes out of that vent in the floor. It comes out of vents below the rear...

    Model Y road trip experience with FSD 12.3.6

    I was also on the express lanes on I-95 and I-495, and it also read the digital speed limit (which showed 65) as 45. Exact same place as you, I think. My drive there was at night.

    Model 3 Highland White interior (US) waiting room

    I don't think there's any way to know the answer to that. You could order both and see what happens. It will only cost you $250.

    Model 3 Highland White interior (US) waiting room

    I think you're right. It does appear to be a new and different battery. How did this happen without any leak beforehand?
  28. MAPekala

    Model 3 Highland White interior (US) waiting room

    Yeah, both of my front seats have this, but I never noticed it until you brought it up!
  29. MAPekala

    Model 3 Highland White interior (US) waiting room

    No, I don’t think it’s a change in the battery. It’s a change in the IRS regulation. The question is whether the change in regulation is retroactive.

    Model 3 Highland White interior (US) waiting room

    Does anyone know if people who have already purchased the AWD Model 3 this year can get the federal tax credit when filing taxes next year, or does the credit have to be applied at the time of purchase?

    Poor wifi reception

    I like the idea of just parking outside a restaurant, bookshop, coffee shop, etc., if you have to. Think of it as another charging stop.

    Slight trunk to c pillar misalignment - what would you do?

    Yeah. Me personally? I would let that go and never think about it again.

    Dark mode navigation screen too dark

    I did try that, but not while I was actually driving. That’s an idea.

    Dark mode navigation screen too dark

    HI all, I’ve owned my new Model 3 for only a few weeks. It’s great. At night, when the touchscreen goes to dark mode, the navigation screen is way too dark. I have the display set to auto. I can change the brightness on the fly with the left scroll wheel, but it quickly goes back to...

    So far, I've had to log into Netflix 3 times

    Haven't done the reset lately. I could try that. Good idea.
  38. MAPekala

    So far, I've had to log into Netflix 3 times

    Nope. I’m the only driver. Initially I had some issues with Bluetooth. (I know this isn’t that.) Did a couple of software updates; maybe that was it?

    Plug in J1772 adapter first -- or connect adapter to charger first?

    Thanks, all., Yeah, I can’t see how it would matter.

    Plug in J1772 adapter first -- or connect adapter to charger first?

    Hi all, I have a new Model 3 and my wife has a different non-Tesla EV which we purchased first. So we have a J1772 Level 2 home charger. I've been attaching the Tesla adapter to the charger and then putting that assembly into the Tesla charging port. (I've done that twice now with no...

    So far, I've had to log into Netflix 3 times

    I've had my Model 3 (Highland) for three weeks now. The car isn't keeping me logged into Netflix. I've done two software updates so far. Any experience with this or advice? (I haven't actually watched Netflix yet; I just like things to work as they're supposed to.) Thanks.

    Extremely loud lock sound

    Yep. Same here. Louder after 2024.14. Would very much like to turn it down . . .

    Never got copies of the trade-in documents or an actual bill of sale

    Yeah, all my texts from the delivery have "expired," so I don't think that will work for me. I got an email address for the Raleigh delivery center, but they haven't answered two emails so far. I'll keep at it . . .

    So did you stick the front license plate holder on with the adhesive?
