    Dirt Roads and Salt Brine: Rusted 2 Y.O. Model Y Rear Brake Lines in New Hampshire

    Quick update on the repairs. In case anyone is thinking of using the Peabody, Mass SC, you might ask how they plan to reattach the shield under the car. Apparently after charging $7500 in repairs using tiny zip ties is an approved method for reattaching the shield before returning the car to...

    Dirt Roads and Salt Brine: Rusted 2 Y.O. Model Y Rear Brake Lines in New Hampshire

    Do you know who/how this was reported? I'd like to follow the same path if possible and see if they will at least cover the brake lines.

    Dirt Roads and Salt Brine: Rusted 2 Y.O. Model Y Rear Brake Lines in New Hampshire

    All pads & rotors were corroded and both front calipers @ ~$1k each needed replacing bringing the total to just shy of $8000 including charges that they never got approval by us to make. Pads & rotors are really the only "normal" wear and tear item I've ever experienced. Lack of parts...

    Dirt Roads and Salt Brine: Rusted 2 Y.O. Model Y Rear Brake Lines in New Hampshire

    The Peabody MA SC didn't have any suggestions except "deal with it and pay up". They said this is normal and reasonable since we live in NE and didn't seem to feel it was a problem with the design of the car. Especially when they can hit you with $3500 repair bill. So I asked them what a...

    Charge port door not opening/closing

    I just requested service from the local SC and sent a message to them asking if it can be switched to mobile. I'll let you know once I get a quote to see if it's still $120 + labor. That video you posted is definitely the best one I've seen. This is the other one I've seen but it doesn't...

    Charge port door not opening/closing

    Thanks all. I agree for about $200 it's totally worth a mobile service visit. I tried to schedule a mobile service but the app was only letting me schedule @ a SC. Unfortunately the closest SC is 2 hours away so I'd like to avoid that drive if I could. I'm going to try and put in a service...

    Charge port door not opening/closing

    I have a 2018 Model 3 and the charge port door has over time gone from "glitchy"/intermittent opening and closing to not automatically opening or closing at all. I'm still able to manually able to actuate it and doing this still usually triggers the charge port to unlock. I'm concerned that...

    Auto Emergency Braking is Disabled message, music/media audio stopped working suddenly

    Just noticed Pirelli makes a 18" Sottozero 3 tire now!

    Glad to see there is a version without the $50/tire foam insert. Only the ones with the foam were available when I bought my tires about a month ago so I went with the VIKINGCONTACT 7 - SIZE: 235/45R18 instead...

    The dangers of TACC with Speed Assist

    Honestly if they just implemented this I would be happy. There are too many situations where accelerating (usually aggressive acceleration) is the wrong this to do. Just set the cruise at the current speed no matter what. The driver can then adjust the speed from there with the dials.

    Yes this included some paint work on the door and rocker panels. I have Deep Blue Metallic on my car.

    Boston area body work?

    I would recommend Today's Collision in Malden. They did some warranty work on my M3 recently and it came back looking better than the day I got it. Talk to Matt Everson and he'll take care of you. I've have a very bad experience at a different shop (not Today's) in MA where my UMC went...

Here is a short audio clip of the sound taken @ about 180 of range (47kW charge rate) during a recent charging session: sound while charging tesla model 3 2019-02-07.wav This happens multiple times during supercharging. It's clearly coming from...

    Are linewaiter orders still receiving their gift model 3 toy car?

    I had a Day 1 online reservation and picked up my M3 yesterday in Mt Kisco. I had to ask and they happily provided me one. They were absolutely cranking out deliveries yesterday.

    Are linewaiter orders still receiving their gift model 3 toy car?

    NH Delivery at Mt Kisco, NY

    I met someone a couple of months ago who lives in NH (up past the notch I think) and said he drove to Mt Kisco to take delivery so I know that is an option in addition to home delivery. I've been given a VIN and am in the process of deciding if it's worth driving down and back to get the car a...

    NH owners taking delivery from Mt. Kisco

    I received an email from a delivery specialist based in Vegas last night that stated "This email means that your car is built, and we are ready start discussing the final steps for your delivery" and specified a delivery center of Mt.Kisco, New York. I'm wondering for folks who are in NH and...

    NH Delivery at Mt Kisco, NY

    I live in NH as well and have been given Mt. Kisco as the delivery location so I am curious how you ended up taking delivery. Did you go to Mt. Kisco or did you have it trucked to you in NH?

    NH Tesla-Approved Body Shop?

    I'm in central NH and I've got a 2016 Model S that needed some work done. However, I'm already out of warranty (65k miles in 2 years) so I was less concerned about approved vs convenient. Jasmine Auto in White River Junction took care of my car and did a great job. Parts still took a bit longer...

    Firmware Update 2018.12

    Tesla pushed the 2018.12 release to my AP1 car because I kept getting main screen lock ups/reboots. When I used the navigation today I swear it looked and acted differently. How can I check if it's the new nav vs my imagination

    2018 New England Super Chargers

    Many hours and lots of my paper route (??wtf is a paper route??) money was spent there. At the time I was friends with the owners son and his birthday parties were held there. Talk about a kick A$$ birthday party for a 10 year old!

    2018 New England Super Chargers

    I've charged a couple of times at the HPWC while visiting the Natick Mall. Or more specifically I visited the Natick Mall so that I could charge before heading home from visiting my parents. All the better that superchargers are @ SW since navigating the Natick Mall is maddening. Of course...

    Model 3 sighting in Boston

    Wipers not clearing road salt

    I've only had my MS60D since the summer so this is my first experience with winter driving conditions. I live in NH and we've recently had a minor snowfall here. I've noticed that the wipers do a very poor job of clearing off the thin film of road salt/general grime that accumulates when...

    Winter Regenerative Braking Tip?

    I knew about the chargers in town garage (I have parking around the corner) but per kwh they are more expensive than charging at home so unless the battery is going to be damaged I would use that just in an emergency. I didn't know the hospital had chargers, I'll have to check them out...

    Odd smell in cabin after short SC stop

    So the three month update: So far we've driven just over 9,000 miles which includes one 1,300 all supercharger trip. Other than the one road trip we supercharge about once a week for various reasons and charge the rest of the time at home. Last Friday we were on the return trip of a 200 mile...

    VisibleTesla

    Thanks for the pointer in the right direction. I've been able to tap into my home boiler to create an app to monitor it's status and log historical fuel consumption so I'm keen to have the same type of info from my car :)

    VisibleTesla

    Thanks, that's what I figured. Is there any way to get historical logs, maybe directly from the car? Presumably the Model S stores the logs locally like the Roadster did. I'm one month and 2,700 miles into ownership and I'd love to be able to have the usage & charging stats from the...

    VisibleTesla

    Hi all, I've been looking for a way to download the logs that the Model S surely captures locally and/or get transmitted back to the Tesla mothership. So far, the only think I've only found that might do that is VisibleTesla. I'm wondering how VisibleTesla gathers it's information. Is it able...

    Wanted: Refreshed 60 Supercharging Data

    Now two weeks in, it has crept up to 220 on a full charge. Though the car did scold me for fully charging too many times in a row. I'm hoping this is just because it doesn't realize it actually has the 75kwh battery and can fully charge more than other battery variants.

    Wanted: Refreshed 60 Supercharging Data

    When I started a supercharge @ 52 miles remaining I saw ~96Kw (300A+ @ 324V). Total charge time ~15 minutes, total distance added ~ 60 miles (52 miles to 111 miles). The end time and miles are from memory on this one. Does anyone know how to pull the logs? I'd love to have those generally...

    Odd smell in cabin after short SC stop

    Yes, I did explain that "To my wife and I it smelled like overheated electronics".

    Odd smell in cabin after short SC stop

    I don't really agree with that and I can imagine things that could cause a strange electronics odor so I did have them check the logs and they said the battery temps were in tolerance. I do plan to test again on that supercharger but it's a bit of a challenge to get to normally because it's 30...
