I seem to remember reading somewhere that once the car is "started" the jumper pack can be removed and the car driven. True/false? Obviously when the care is put into park and the vehicle exited you would be back in the same situation.

Have you successfully tried the "mini jump pack'? Curious. I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Thanks to everyone who responded with your thoughtful comments. Even though I've had the vehicle for 17 months and experienced one cold winder, range anxiety is tough to shake.

Thanks for your insight. She is paranoid that the airbag may deploy and injure her. I am very concerned that the airbag may not deploy and she could be seriously injured. Kind of a catch 22. I have contacted the Service Center and been advised that there is nothing to be done as the weight...

Is it better to run the battery down to 20-30% before charging or charge everyday regardless of the SOC?

In the past I have been charging to 80%. I have been advised that charging to 90% may be acceptable without affecting the battery life/degredation. It turns out that 90% will save me one battery charging session per week. Thoughts/comments?

I am concerned that I could run out of battery power during the winter months as range is reduced during the cold. I have purchased a nylon tow strap and a 2" tow adapter (for the towing vehicle.) I am aware that I will need to put the vehicle in "tow mode." Under the circumstances are there...

My wife is < 100 lbs. Initially when we leave the passenger airbag indicator is on (inactive.) After approx 10 mins. it will go off (activate) and stay off. I'm concerned that she is venerable during that time. The manual states that the airbag may or may not activate at 9-100 lbs. Is there any...

I'm planning a trip from Durango, CO through Holbrook, AZ to the Supercharging station at East Skyline Drive in Tuscon, AZ. The distance is 255 miles. I have a LR rear wheel drive Model 3 which is rated at 310/325 miles. I will be driving in January, 2020 when its cool/cold. I'm curious if...

I have never been able to get Tesla Cam to function properly. I have done, re-done and re-re-done all the online advice. It works for one/two days and then stops. Does Sentry mode depend on a fully functioning Tesla Cam mode to be operational?

I have a Multicoat Red M3. The car's image on the monitor's screen is also red. If my car was blue would the image be blue or are they all red? Kind of a silly question but I'm curious.

I'm having an issue with the passenger airbag. My wife is approx. 100 lbs. The passenger airbag on/off notification (top rhs screen) goes on/off randomly. Has anyone else experienced this? I've checked with a Ranger and he told me that issues with the seat have to be checked by a Service Center...

I updated to 18.42.2.1 about a week ago. The only difference I've noticed is with the TPMS. I no longer receive an on screen notice wrt low tire pressure. I do receive a new chime (different from any others) that I suspect is the TPMS warning. There is no other verbal notification. I live in an...

Not quite sure this is the place to post this issue. Yesterday I updated to 2018.42.2.1. I'm getting a new alert sound that I haven't had before. I suspect this is a low tire pressure warning. It was very cold this morning. I no longer get the low tire pressure indication even though my...

Does one need two floor jacks to raise the car to do a back to front tire rotation? Can it be done safely with one floor jack? One floor jack and jack stand?

I had an issue with the glove box randomly opening. The process proposed by Veedio worked but doesn't solve the problem. I had a Tesla ranger come out and replace it. Upon examining the old box, we discovered a spring missing. It either was never installed or fell off.

I received my V9 update this morning, 10/13/18.

I have lost/misplaced one of my key cards. Assuming it doesn't show up, can I cancel/disable it? Or, it this like losing one's car keys. Will it require the SC or Ranger to disable or could I do it my self? My concern is that presently I have the only model 3 in town, so if some nefarious...

My M3 is 2 months old. It has developed a faint white patch on the rhs of the dash above the glove box where the air bag is. I haven't done anything to wipe/clean it. Has anyone experienced this. And if you have what if anything did you do about it?

Thanks for the feedback

OK. I have the model 3, which to my knowledge doesn't have a cold weather package.

Called for Ranger service. They haven' t got back to me yet.

What's the "heated option."

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I'm 360 miles from the SC.

Model 3 Kind of a dumb question, but I'm not sure they're working correctly. When I press and hold the left stalk button the windshield washer start to work. I expect the fluid to come out in a spray from the wipers. What comes out is kind of a puddle of fluid. It seems to do the job. Q/...

This tip has helped me considerably. I was having an issue with my iPhone X as a key. The condition was that I would approach the locked vehicle with my phone in my back pocket, press on the handle (rather quickly) but the vehicle wouldn't unlock. I would then use my key card to unlock. I would...

I have had my Model 3 for a couple of weeks. My experience with the iPhone X as a key has been miserable and intermittent. I'm reasonable certain that the vehicle senses the phone because when I'm forced to use the key card to gain entry, I can operate the vehicle without using the key card...

Incidentally, your tip re sheet metal screws is great. Simple and probably very effective. Do you coat the screws with anything? I carry a self contained tire compressure pump. The screws and the pump should take me a long way.

Thanks for the good tips. I had a "spare" for my 2012 Prius. The Prius had a couple of tie down D rings which could be used with a nylon strap. I'm concerned with a loose 50 lb projectile in case of a front end collision.

I'm trying to determine if my Model 3 windshield washer is working correctly. In other cars I'm used to a fine spray squirting onto the windshield. Instead on the Model 3 small amounts of washer fluid are kind of dumped from the wiper. This seems to do the job. I am unable to find any sprayer...

Thank you.

Q1. Several times the cursor on the map marking the position of the vehicle disappears. It could be that I pressed something that made it go away. Other than stopping and shutting down is there anyway to get it back on the fly? Q2. In exiting out of AutoPilot by turning the steering wheel there...

Nubie audio question: Q1. Is there a way to increase the base audio? On some 'stations' I have to scroll up to full volume. Q2. Is there anyway to 'turn off' the sound system other than turning the volume to 'X'?

What does the initials PM represent in the phrase "... But if you PM me I'll get a list started ..."

I’m very interested. Please put me on the list. [email protected]

I am interested in the sunglasses bin and the QI charger

Not exactly. Poncha Springs is about 150 miles from Denver. I stopped there to charge. Recommended charge time by Tesla was 15 min. That turned out to be marginal. I did make it home, but just nearly. Next time I'll do a 30 min SuperCharge.

Picked up M3 yesterday at the Littleton (Denver) service center. As far as I can tell the car is in perfect condition. Drove home (350 mi) and thought I was going to run out of juice. The half way supercharger (Poncha Springs) recommended a 15min charge. Next time I going to top it up. The...

How do I order? I would prefer the brushed metal look to match the brushed metal on the HAVC vent. Would that be possible?

Is there a 'spec' for the maximum gap that is allowable? Or, was it so large that is was an obvious manufacturing defect?
