    My only beef with my new "Highland"

    Nothing beats Instagram when it comes to low tier comments. It takes about a second to disengage TACC/AP/FSD -- it's definitely not instant. Not a big deal IMO though.

    Is it worth to buy a CSS adapter now?

    I ordered a cheap CCS adapter from Temu but ended up returning it because of safety reasons. I got one directly from Tesla and there is a huge difference in quality. And a CCS adapter is worth it for me as there are a bunch of free/cheap CCS DC chargers in my area.

    Apple Music different song after parking

    I'm pretty sure my Model 3 still does this on 2024.20.3. For what it's worth, Apple Music on my iPhone does this every now and then as well, so it might be more of an Apple problem.

    Ambient lighting virtually non-existent

    This is how mine looks at night, I don't think I would want it to be any brighter:

    Extremely loud lock sound

    I have the lock sound set to quack, and I was genuinely confused when I updated to 2024.14. I locked my car once and this random pedestrian quacked back as a response, worth it. But 2024.20.1 made it quieter... or I got used to it.

    2024 Highland (Canada) Odometer

    My 2024 M3LR had 41 kilometers on the odometer when I picked it up. MVPA also stated 41 kilometers. 65 is a bit higher but I doubt it was a demo car.

    2024 Model 3 Highland Black Replacement Emblems

    When I had PPF done on my car, the shop ordered blacked out badges. Only the dual motor badge arrived on time, and I really like this badgeless look so I ended up not installing the front logo + back letters. I got the matte black badges and they are identical to the OEM ones in terms of...

    I also have the Basenor and I'm quite happy with it!

    This is the official retrofit of model 3 CCS been announced?

    You can get one at the SC! I got the same message on Tesla Store, but the advisor at the SC sold me the adapter :)

    Tinted rear lights M3PH

    The headlights are not as bright when they're tinted, that's for sure. Whether the difference in brightness is significant is another question.

    Wiki Model 3 Highland Ultimate Accessory List

    Didn't want to add this to the wiki, but I use these all-season mats. I don't have the frunk mat, but the rest fits really well. They're fantastic for the price IMO. Cheap screen protectors (like this one) results in a slight but noticeable loss in touch sensitivity.

    Damage on my Model 3. What to do next?

    Ouch, sorry. Assuming you'll have to pay some sort of deductible (and that your premiums will go up) you might be better off not going through insurance. That bumper can be repaired, and I would personally keep the splash shield as-is. This is coming from someone who foolishly went through...

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    I went to two Tesla stores and looked at Model 3s. They all have the same dent on the left side of the front bumper. The advisor said he hadn't noticed it before. I'll bring the car to the service center on Friday, I have a bone to pick with them.

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    Be super careful and attentive when picking up your car. My front bumper has an inwards dent right above the front left wheel well. The PPF shop noticed it. There comes another visit to the service center. Edit: Well the advisor said I should have reported it within 24 hours. I'll look for...

    12V wire tap for radar detectors in Model 3 Highland

    The cigarette lighter is ~16V, I confirmed this with a USB charger that has a voltage readout. This is odd because the user manual states it's a 12V outlet. Fortunately most lighter adapters are 12-24V compatible -- make sure yours is as well before plugging it in.

    Is there really a best tint manufacture? Or...

    That's even better, 80% TSER for 30%! Congrats! The price seems to be decent as well. Did you get the full rear glass done? I dropped mine off today (for tint and PPF), and even the drive to the tint shop was annoying because of the heat. It doesn't help that Toronto is extra warm nowadays...

    Specs. Wow, 75%-79% solar energy rejection for the 32% tint.

    Is there really a best tint manufacture? Or...

    My old Mazda had ceramic tint (Xpel XR) all around. My dad's car has dyed tint. The difference is night and day. Even according to the datasheets, dyed films reject ~35% of the solar energy whereas a quality ceramic tint will reject ~60%. My Model 3 isn't tinted yet (dropping it off tomorrow -...

    Dashcam cuts video short!

    Thank you! I should have looked at the user manual before posting here, my bad. I would also expect the car to use all the available space for the dashcam, like a dashcam would. Anyway, maybe they'll fix it in a future update.

    Dashcam cuts video short!

    I'm having a similar problem with my dashcam. I have mine set to save on honk, but it does it for clips that I manually save as well. I wanted to save the video of a driver indicating left and turning right. I saved the clip, and it seemed like a 10 minute snippet. The problem is that this...

    Model 3 Window Tinting - Llumar or Xpel?

    I had Xpel XR on my old car (non-Tesla) and I was quite happy with it. IIRC the XR had better heat rejection than the IRX. For my Model 3 I'm going to go for Autobahn i3 -- it seems to have better specs than the competition. It's just that I've never heard of this brand before and they host...

    This is the official retrofit of model 3 CCS been announced?

    My 2024 Model 3 has CCS compatibility listed under Software, but Tesla website states I need to get something retrofitted. So I got one from Tesla Service today, and gave it a shot. I was able to get ~130kW from Electrify Canada. The initial handshake took much longer than it does at a...

    Your M3H 'Stalkless' Driving Experience....

    I am completely okay with the indicators being on the steering wheel -- I might even go ahead and say I like it better than the good old indicator stalk. My commute doesn't involve any roundabouts/traffic circles though. Same thing for the high beams. It feels like a racing sim wheel (I don't...

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    I picked mine up today! Model 3 Long Range, Blue exterior, White interior, 19" wheels. My appointment was at 3pm, I went there at 1pm because this was my first time picking up a Tesla and I didn't know what to expect. Also maybe there would be some missing documents that I would need to get...

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    Hi, glad to see a specific thread for Canadian deliveries :) I made an order for a Blue/White M3LR on the 4th, there was one in transit and the rep at Tesla Etobicoke-Dundas assigned it to me. The estimated delivery date was May 25th. I was trying to see if everything was on track (and whether...
