    Value of 2018 Model 3 - Best way to deal with upgrade to model Y

    Interesting. I have a 2018 model 3 LR dual motor with just about 62,000 km. EAP and premium connectivity for life (although I don't think that transfers) and the 19" OEM all seasons and a set of 4 18" Winters (wheels and tires). I have also been thinking of upgrading. I am going to submit online...

    NEW Model 3 Highland review!

    Fully agree. Even if the air is not actually cooled, if there is a fan that pushes / circulates air through the perforated holes, that would be much better than what we have now.

    NEW Model 3 Highland review!

    Has anyone addressed the "ventilated" vs cooled seats? To me, ventilated just means the seat material has the small holes / perforated material in it but there is no "active cooling" of the seats. So the seats are ventilated but not actually cooled?

    Supercharger - East Rutherford, NJ

    Planning on being in the area (Springsteen at MetLife on Sunday). Can anyone who has been to the mall / these chargers speak to their 'business' during the afternoon on a Sunday?

    Can I still order a white interior

    Just checked on the Tesla Canada website - Still no White interior for LR Model Y. Anyone know if it is coming back?

    Tesla will allow transfer FSD to a new Tesla only till the end of September?

    If you sell your current car that has FSD in a private sale, the FSD cannot be transferred to the new purchaser if you want to take advantage of rolling the FSD onto your new Tesla purchase. The private purchaser who buys your existing vehicle will only get basic AP. Currently, this does NOT...

    People who don't buy because of "charging time"

    I have driven from Toronto to New York many many times both in Ice and my Model 3. In the Ice car I can do it with 1 gas and bathroom stop and possibly (likely) a second quick restroom break - (I find that no one in my family is interested in a 20 minute lunch stop for an 8 hour drive) and gas...

    Dash cam still not working

    I thought the latest update fixed it. For the first couple of days, the Dashcam was working fine. Then got in the car this morning, Red X again. Did a 2 button re-set, started working again.

    Dash cam still not working

    Model 3 currently on 2023.12.5.4. Seems like once again my dash cam keeps giving the “red x” icon. I do a 2 button reset and then it works for a couple of drives and then it stops working again. Are others still having issues?

    Will i be missing out on Enhanced Autopilot or FSD?

    I have a similar experience. I bought my Model 3 in October of 2018 and paid for EAP ( I don't recall how much it was but I don't think it was in the $6K range. I never use autopark. I would occasionally move the car back and forth with summon but not very often. I have tried out Smart Summons...

    White Interior Thoughts?

    Going on 4 1/2 years with my Model 3 LR Blue with white seats. My kids are older now but were younger before. I admit I never used a car seat in it and I pretty much stopped wearing jeans- Other than that, I dont pay any specially attention to them. I wipe them down every now and then with...

    Anyone recently charge in Comber Ontario?

    Thx for the replies. Drove to Detroit last week for the Springsteen show and while ABRP had me showing up at Comber with about 37% (maybe a little less - don't recall exactly) we hit some bad weather from Toronto and I was going a little faster than expected so was never going to make it. The...

    Detroit - W Lafayette Street - 'Financial District Garage'

    Heading to Detroit from Toronto to see Springsteen on Wed. ABRP has me stopping at Comber on the way there. There are no chargers in the hotel parking (Hotel Indigo Downtown Detroit) but ABRP shows some good charging in a garage in what looks to be close to the hotel - W Lafayette Street. (131)...

    Anyone recently charge in Comber Ontario?

    Heading to Detroit on Wed from Toronto for Springsteen. ABRP has me stopping at Comber. I have never stopped there before. Any thoughts? (I don't really have any questions about it, just wondering if it is expected to be busy Wed late afternoon etc.) No charging at the hotel in Downtown...

    Apple Music is awful on Intel (mcu2). Is it any better on mcu3?

    I am using Apple Music on my M3LR (2018) and it works great. I have found that occasionally it will totally hang and I need to restart but for the most part, it just works. If you haven't already you may want to try logging out of Apple Music on the car and then logging back in / reauthorizing -...

    Rear Harness Recall

    Can you elaborate on the other "usual two year maintenance things". Brakes?

    Rear Harness Recall

    Thx - I am a little surprised they didn't offer mobile service but maybe that will change as we get closer to the appointment.

    Rear Harness Recall

    I happened to look on the app and it said the harness was available so I booked an appointment. They had lots available but I am travelling so booked for second week of Jan.

    Rear Harness Recall

    Getting my rear harness recall done at a service appointment in early Jan at the North York - Railside Service Centre. Any recent experience on timing / apx how long it takes? (I am hoping to hang out and wait for it). I have a 2018 M3 LR. I recall that at one of my earlier service visits for...

    EV6 to a Model Y

    Great comparison - thx for putting it together. One point I would like to drill down on is the refinement / comfort of your new Tesla compared to your old. I am driving a 2018 M3 LR which I love, and which I have not had any trouble with (and find the seats very comfortable). But it has been 4...

    2022.44.25

    My car is installing .44.25.2 at home right now. I have an older 2018 M3LR - wasn't clear to me from the thread - is Apple Music available only on the newer CPU - versions, or is Apple Music also available for older cars?

    HW3.0 upgrade for basic AP owners now free?

    Spoke to soon. Here is the message I just received. (They are fast!) - No upgrade "Hi Dov, the 3.0 hardware is only used for FSD autopilot packages. you can find this under "upgrades" on your tesla app. Since there are no on-site repairs for our technicians, we will log this data and close...

    HW3.0 upgrade for basic AP owners now free?

    After updating myself on this thread, I just put in a service request for the HW2.5--> HW3.0 "free" upgrade on my 2018 LR with EAP. Let's see what they come back with. thx

    2018 MR vs 2022 RWD Model 3 - great progress

    I have a 2018 M3 and my main question is do you find the 2022 quieter on the highway. The amount of road noise (and some wind noise) is pretty high in my car on anything other than freshly paved blacktop.

    Smelly stinky socks / mold in Model 3 AC

    Just to report back - I had booked a service appointment with mobile service. I am in Toronto (North York) and there was lots of available choices within a couple of days. Service guy came at the front end of the service window and could not have been more helpful and service oriented. In fact...

    Still having problems with USB Sentry on 2022.20.8

    Yes, Dashcam - I have reformatted both in and out of the car; tried older USB sticks as well as newer ones. Same intermittent issue.

    Still having problems with USB Sentry on 2022.20.8

    Not running FSD Beta (I have a 2018 with legacy EAP - I never updated my computer from 2.5 to 3.0 and don't have FSD).

    Still having problems with USB Sentry on 2022.20.8

    I am continuing to have intermittent issues with sentry mode not working (red x in the USB sentry icon). I have formatted and reformatted the USB several times ( and even bought a new one). It seems to work for a bit but then randomly stops working and I get the red x. Pulling the USB and...

    Smelly stinky socks / mold in Model 3 AC

    Yes- in Canada, about $75 to just replace the filters and $180 to replace the filters and spray the cleaning solution. I can get my head around the $75 for the filter replacement, but the cost for the spray, that seems excessive. Thx for pointing out the thread. Very helpful.

    Smelly stinky socks / mold in Model 3 AC

    I have a 2018 Model 3 coming up on 4 years (October). I have never replaced either of my cabin filters, but the past couple of days they have developed that awful smell. I read a bunch of posts and watched a few videos and while the older Model 3s seem to have a difficult to access screw which...

    Maybe Canada needs a few more Superchargers?

    I have had a similar recent experience with many of the Superchargers you are showing - In particular, the 2 in Kingston, Belleville and Port Hope. (On that same trip, I also went through the Supercharger in Victor, NY which is also displayed on your Nav screen. Didn't have a wait but there...

    How is Kingston these Days with the new added capacity?

    Just to close the loop. As I was getting closer to Kingston on Sunday I was watching the numbers. Looked to be a steady “Long Wait” at the newer location and “short wait” / 1 open stall at the older location so I bailed out early and charged at Belleville. Not more than 1 or 2 stalls open the...

    2022.20.6 bugs

    Has this update "fixed" the USB sentry bug? I have reformatted my USB stick both in and out of the car, and even bought a new one and reformatted that one both in and out of the car but I keep getting a USB sentry error. I have been assuming it is software related. Car is updating now. Hope this...

    How is Kingston these Days with the new added capacity?

    Planning a trip from Toronto to Lac Superieur QC (near Tremblant) this long weekend (Sunday). ABRP shows me stopping at Belleville and Perth (taking HWY 7 around Ottawa) and then the Cameron - Gatineau ferry (!!), or the alternate route which is about 10 minutes longer but no ferry and more...

    Model X Travel Trailer Consumption Analysis

    Fair - I fully appreciate that not every Tesla owner spends way too many hours perusing these forums and topics that have absolutely no relevance to them. ;)

    Model X Travel Trailer Consumption Analysis

    They are absolutely not restricted to cars towing trailers and did not intend to suggest that they are so restricted. The intent of my comment was simply that if there are open "regular" stalls and someone is not towing a trailer, it would seem to me to be just a matter of courtesy not to take...

    Model X Travel Trailer Consumption Analysis

    Did you have any issues with non trailer Teslas using the "trailer spec'd" supercharger stalls? On my recent trip through New York state and Pa I was somewhat amazed at the number of (non trailer equipped) cars that I saw charging at the pull in / pull through trailer stalls. I am assuming they...

    Erwin SC vs Waterloo SC

    I was surprised as well but according to ABRP, the km and time are almost exactly the same (782 km if I go "up" through Waterloo, cross a Rainbow, through Batavia then on to Binghamton) vs 788 km if I go the Erwin route - (Cross at Peace Bridge - through Elmira and then to Binghamton) but yes...

    Erwin SC vs Waterloo SC

    Thx - Actually now that you mention it, I have been at Waterloo! That is the one where the chargers are at one end of the parking lot and then you have to hike across the parking flat top to get to the casino. Yes, my recollection is that there is no where to buy anything (drinks, snacks) but...

    Erwin SC vs Waterloo SC

    Need to drive my kids from Toronto to somewhere in Pa (near Honesdale) and then I am heading on to NJ. ABR shows me 2 routes which are basically the same distance and total time - one going through Peace Bridge and stopping at the Erwin SC (and then Binghamton) with the other route going...

    Appropriate Per kWh in Toronto to input in the App?

    I am looking to populate the appropriate settings in the Tesla App to track my average cost / gas savings / charge stats, etc. Based on what I have found on-line, it looks like the average off-peak kWh cost in Toronto (North York) is $.08, but I recall reading some posts on this forum that it...

    Should I traded in my 2018 M3LR RWD for a 2022 M3LR?

    Thx - At least here in Canada, the estimate delivery for a non performance LR Model Y is Dec 2022.

    Should I traded in my 2018 M3LR RWD for a 2022 M3LR?

    Is it noticeably quieter on the highway? I too have a 2018 Model 3 LR AWD with lifetime premium connectivity, legacy EAP, and about 46,000 km (apx 28,500 miles) with about 8% battery degradation. I love everything about the car except it is on the noisy side on the highway. I have been thinking...
