    Referral supercharger credit, delaying 6 month window

    I'm wondering if anyone has asked Tesla to delay or extend the 6-month window for the credits successfully? I'm going on a road trip to New York (from Toronto) in Aug and I got my first referral in Dec. I don't normally use the supercharger so this would be really cool to time it with the trip...

    Hold mode in cold weather

    I wanted to see if this is normal behaviour for everyone in cold weather at this point. I've turned on Hold mode since I got it but now that it's getting colder (at or below 0c) I'm pretty much back to 2 pedal driving because regen is limited (showing dots) and the car just coasts! I was...

    Has anyone joined a utility program using fleetcarma's OBD2 device?

    My local utility (Alectra) sent an email about joining their program to track charging details. I haven't installed the device yet but curious if anyone has joined it? It seems like a short-lived program, from what I understand just for a month. Rewards For Charging Your EV | SmartCharge...

    Changing a breaker from 50 to 60 amps, is it worth it?

    I have 200 amps coming to the house, 150 for the home and 50 for my wall connector. This is my first winter with the 3 and noticing it charges slower but still plenty at ~60km/h @10kW (summer was ~70km/h). I've been checking prices and it's not a big deal to buy a 60 amp breaker, then I could...

    Have you seen the wall connector pulling power even though not charging?

    I noticed today after a drive and plugging in the cable that the green lights were moving. Went inside and could see it was pulling over 2kW! The problem is I don't have it set to charge until low rates at night and when I did plug in its actually quite a high rate. It lasted at least 5 mins...

    Does the way you regen make any difference to the amount of charging done?

    I was thinking of how I alternate between two styles of regen when driving and wanted to know if there was any difference in how much charge is added to the battery. One way is to just fully let off the accelerator which gives strong regen but fairly short time. The other is to ease off slowly...

    Why does the seat belt latch have a Velcro patch glued to it?

    I've had the car for a few months but just noticed this patch glued to both front seat belt latches. Just curious what's it for, because the console is hard plastic so it won't stick to anything there. Thanks.

    I now have a new pet peeve since getting Autopilot

    It happens more often than I'd like, I'm on EAP in the city and coming to a light thinking to myself no problem there's a car in front and sure enough, the car moves out of the lane! Even with 2 cars in front of me and had it where they both moved out of the way and I'm like man I actually have...

    Any way to tell if a car has free supercharging from the UI?

    I just got a Model S loaner, I am guessing it has free supercharging but would like to know if there's somewhere in the UI that states that? I'll check with Tesla before doing it but would be good to know beforehand. Thanks!

    First road trip tomorrow! Family is excited to be using the 3, not the ICE van

    It was a close call though, so much stuff to pack but using the frunk and all the pockets in the trunk to max it out. I really didn't want to use the Sienna now that I have the car. The kids are totally on my side too with being able to pick songs they like, the great air in the back and view...

    Bluetooth media pairing issue, phone as a key works fine

    I'm wondering if others have had this issue and found a workaround that I could try. I have a Oneplus One and using it for the key is fine, I mean Bluetooth usually has an issue but quickly turning it off/on works 100% of the time after that. What I can't do is setup my phone to play media...

    Navigation speed limits wrong more enough than I'd like to see...

    I've been trying Autopilot more this week but finding the speeds the system think the roads are set to be wrong with what's actually posted. I've seen 3 scenario's; no idea what the speed limit is, limit too high (most common) and yesterday found a street where it was too low so autopilot would...

    Spotted a Model 3 in Richmond Hill

    I first saw a white Model X with out of the province/country plates then right behind it was a black Model 3! I only had time for a quick picture. I told the family oh great they are testing it before the upcoming deliveries and my wife said, "testing what eating in the car!" (the driver was...

    So I thought I was somewhat of a pioneer...

    When I reserved my Model 3 day one almost 2 years ago I didn't know anyone else who had a Tesla or many didn't even know who that was so it felt pretty cool to jump into this new revolution in transportation in my own small way. I realize the real pioneers are the Roadsters and Model S owners...

    This is how I'm sharing the feeling of an EV without having one

    So while I wait for my Model 3 (in Canada), I'm driving an older Mazda 3 which shakes and rattles at every stop. Kids complained about the vibrations and noise, I told them this is an ICE car...then put it in neutral and this is an EV! They are now hooked on that feeling and silence, here's...

    Purchasing autopilot after delivery

    If you didn't pay for autopilot at the time you ordered the Model 3, is there an option on a screen to do so in the car? How does it get charged, to the credit card on file? Thanks

    Any news on service/maintenance plans for Model 3?

    I'm still trying to figure out how to get the car I want knowing more of the pricing now (won't be easy) and I'm concerned about ongoing costs like service and maintenance. Looking at the Model S/X plan pricing is much more than I'm used to paying for a car and with the options now matching (or...

    Where are the employee model 3 reviews?

    Can't say I'm surprised but are the employees really not allowed to talk about the car they bought outright? Is that allowed? At what point can they talk about it I wonder? I know it came up they can't sell the car for profit but I was hoping to see someone with more time to go through the car...

    Does the Model 3 have TPMS as standard?

    I was just filling up my van and guessing which tire the sensor thought was low when I thought about the 3. I haven't seen any info on this feature and was curious if it's been mentioned or seen on the UI yet? I couldn't wait until tomorrow to know! haha

    "There will be something special", Who does this apply to?

    Service Center valet offered at Laurence?

    I was looking at the service plans (Service plans) and noticed this: "During my appointment, how will I get around if I need my car? We want your Tesla Service experience to be convenient and hassle-free. If you are within 25 km of the closest Service Center, a Valet can be sent out to...

    Will the Model 3 be the first Tesla to use a 48 volt system?

    I think it would make sense for Tesla to be planning for this, I'm just not sure if they would make the change first to S and X then to the 3 or even just continue using the current 12 volt system. I understand it's been the source of many issues for owners and with the new auto pilot hardware...
