    Safety Restraint Fault RCM_021

    I just had this error come up today as well. 2018 M3 LR RWD. There's a couple other threads that have something similar: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/safety-restraint-system-fault-fixed.159768/page-4...

    Wheel balance weights hitting suspension arm

    Good point about the offset. My rims are 19" Rial Lugano, I don't have the measurements handy but the offset may be slightly different. However this is the second set of tires on this rim; there wasn't any issue the first time around (in 2016) so I'm going to go with an installer issue on this...

    Wheel balance weights hitting suspension arm

    Just a PSA to let people know of an issue I came across today on my S. I got new all-season tires at Costco last year and put them on earlier today for the spring switch over. I rotated the wheels so that the rears are now on the front. The balancing weights were installed too close to the...

    Undercarriage Pressure Wash. Dangerous?

    And just to respond to the OP topic, I have been taking my S and 3 through undercarriage pressure washes for years, without any issues. I tend to only do it in the winters, and maybe only once a month for each vehicle, when they get really dirty. I go to the Petro-Canada Glide touchless washes.

    Undercarriage Pressure Wash. Dangerous?

    Quick update that I got an estimate from Tesla for about $600 taxes in. $40 for labour and about $220 for the undercarriage shield, and $270 for the front under-bumper pan/shield. I questioned why the latter part was included in the quote since it seemed to be fine. They said the pieces...

    Undercarriage Pressure Wash. Dangerous?

    To resurrect an old thread--I damaged the undercarriage pan that goes between the front wheels and the battery. The pan is a plastic piece that's circled in the attached image. It is "bent" length wise, likely from me backing up the car over the hard packed snow that was up to the height of the...

    Headrest material peeling off

    My 2018 M3 warranty is up later this month and I am starting to see signs of this on my car too. We just use normal shampoo and I use a small amount of hair gel most days, very little on the back of my head. Tesla said it was an “external influence” and not covered. That’s pretty comical...

    Model 3 door opened by itself while driving

    In a thrilling conclusion, the service advisor replaced the puddle light underneath the driver side door. I don't know if it's a 100% open and shut case, but apparently the puddle lights are the "end point" of the electronic circuit in the door, which connects the window, light, and door open...

    Model 3 door opened by itself while driving

    This occurred to me as well! Coincidentally I had a tech come out last month to inspect my passenger door which was always sticking in the open position. The driver side door didn’t have any issues at the time. In any case what makes me think this might not be the cause is that there was a...

    Model 3 door opened by itself while driving

    I was on the way to the store this morning driving in my 3 and about 60 seconds away from my home, the driver side door open mechanism triggered by itself! As if I had pressed the door open button, triggering the solenoid. However I had both my hands on the wheel. Luckily I was pulling up to a...

    MCU1 NHTSA Recall

    Has anyone in Canada (specifically Ontario/GTA) heard from Tesla for scheduling the eMMC daughterboard replacements? I received the recall notice/update in March, but not a peep since. My 2016 S UI is VERY slow and would love to have that get solved. It feels like using an iPhone 3GS over the...

    Tesla recommends cleaning and lubricating all brake calipers every 12 months or 20,000 km

    An update on this--I contacted Cyril in Innerkip and booked an appointment earlier this month, and I'd say he lives up to the high expectations that I had from reading up on others' experiences. It was worth taking the day off to drive to his shop (from GTA). He did an inspection and also...

    Tesla recommends cleaning and lubricating all brake calipers every 12 months or 20,000 km

    I just chose tires & wheels, close enough. Besides I am fairly certain that someone on the other end reviews and classifies as required, they will at least judge if they can send a mobile ranger out first, and only have you go to a service center if absolutely necessary.

    Tesla recommends cleaning and lubricating all brake calipers every 12 months or 20,000 km

    Estimate I got for brake service in Toronto (Lawrence) last week was $225 + HST. However after the vehicle was brought in, they wanted me to replace front calipers, pads, rotors, and rear rotors at a cost of $1900 o_O Last time I did the brake service was in 2019, a bit less than 2 years. I...

    Another front suspension control arm failure

    I am dealing with some suspension issues on my early 2016 MS and came across this thread. I don't know when they started producing the revised parts, but I can tell you that Tesla replaced these parts on my vehicle in June 2018 (car was just over 2 yrs old at this point). Looks like it was...

    3rd party Tesla mechanic in GTA (Toronto)

    Power steering issue

    Update: So the fix was indeed the same as many of the posters in this thread. The part is listed below, and was $280 CAD for the part and 45 mins labour @ $175/hr. I-SHAFT STEERING LINK - NON ISOLATOR - LOWER (1030622-00A) They also suggested about $2k in brake work (replace front brakes, rear...

    Power steering issue

    Just had this happen to my 2016 70D, 88,000kms. Steering feels very loose when turning at low speed, and will suddenly become tighter as I keep turning the wheel. Then have to manually pull the wheel back to centre whereas before it would straighten out by itself. Hope this doesn't hurt the...

    Alarm just went off 80% into the update on my AP1 70D. Unlocked the car and the IC said “software update required, please contact Tesla”. But about 5 mins later it rebooted itself and notified that it completed the update... Updated my 2018 Model 3 to the same version about 2 hours earlier...

    Reduced price Autopilot & FSD for existing owners announced March 1st

    TL;DR - I got the usual Tesla run around, no managers are approving price adjustments even if you have a support case, need to complain louder or be patient and wait for another sale. After a few weeks of phone calls and 2 visits to the service center (once for sales and once for service)...

    Welp, it’s all good now. I went to confirm I was connected to WiFi and saw that I had the autopilot/autosteer options. I guess that software update that came the same day I paid for AP not only came with Sentry and dog mode but also had AP. Just writes that h didn’t receive any release notes or...

    Financing Tesla vehicles in Canada

    My order is in for the model 3 and planning to go through Tesla arranged financing. Is there anything out there better than the 4% tesla is offering? My secured LOC is at least 4% right now so leaning towards going with Tesla for convenience.

    Buyer beware. Buying a CPO Tesla feels like a SCAM.

    Sorry OP for your experience. What's done is done but I would keep pushing Tesla to try to make things right. I bought new, but still had pushback when my vehicle was damaged *twice* during service. Both times their initial reaction was "it couldn't have been us" but both times they ended up...

    Model 3 Canada

    I had a Toyota that I drove until it was 11 years old and didn’t do any rust treatment and it was fine. Just washed it and kept it generally clean. I have seen and heard Mazda’s are not good with salt and rust. I don’t know if it’s still true but 6/10 of all rusted out cars I saw were Mazda’s...

    Model 3 Canada

    Here's my $0.02 for RWD/AWD: it all depends on the front/rear weight distribution of the vehicle. You want the car to be as close to 50/50 for best results in winter (def recommend winter tires). Take a BMW 3 series coupe, which has about 50/50 weight distribution and decent traction control...

    Model 3 Canada

    For Ontario, I am almost certain people will adjust their model 3 config based on availability and risk of the EV rebate. Myself and a colleague for instance preferred SR / SR AWD but are highly likely to switch to First Production since it may very well be 2019 before the SR hits Canadian soil.

    Winter Tires and Rims - Canadian Availability

    This is my 2nd winter season with Hakka R2's and while they were perfect during season 1 (2016-2017) even during a road trip to Quebec City during late Dec, they seem to be noticeably worse this 2nd season (2017-2018). This is just my subjective observation, since we definitely have had more...
