    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?

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Centre Console Cover (2018 Model 3)

    After owning my Model 3 coming up on 3 years (October 2018), I have finally decided to wrap the centre console and cover up the glossy black. I am thinking of mat black but there are so many different manufacturers / vendors, can anyone suggest (preferably on Amazon.ca as I am in Canada) a...

    (Charging) Route from Toronto to NJ Question

    Planning on taking my Model 3 (LR, 19" wheels apx 7% battery degradation) on a trip next week from Toronto to New Jersey. For a couple of different reasons, I am planning on crossing at the Peace Bridge ABRP (I have set arrival at apx 15%) is showing two different routes with (depending on...

    990 Avenue of the Americas (67 West 36th Street)

    Planning to be overnight in Manhattan in Mid August staying not far from Bryant Park. I see that the ICon Parking lot at 67 West 36th Street offers EV charging for an additional $10. Has anyone used this lot before? Do you plug it in yourself and it just stays plugged in? How many chargers could...

    If you had EAP do you miss it?

    The subject line likely does not properly address my question, but wasn't sure how to phrase it in shorthand. I have a Model 3 LR AWD with (legacy) EAP. This means I have NOA, Smart Summon, autopark etc. The only part of FSD that I do not currently have is autopilot on city streets and...

    Delivery prior to end of Dec?

    I have a Model 3 but thinking about switching to a Y. Does anyone have any insights (from their own orders, dealing with Tesla etc) about likelihood of orders placed around now (GTA) resulting in delivery by December 31? Thanks in advance.

    Kenauk Nature Resort - Montebello, Quebec

    Considering taking a little trip later in the summer to spend a couple of days at the Kenauk Nature Resort in Montebello, Quebec. (Driving from Toronto).

    Anyone losing a lot of TuneIn (AM) stations on 16.2.1?

    Noticed that since the most recent update, I am not able to get a number of AM stations that used to come in reliably on TuneIn, in particular 680 news, The Fan590. (I am in Toronto) I have re-set a number of times but hasn’t seemed to make a difference.

    If plugged in but not charging, is anything happening?

    Assume I follow the mantra of always plug in - (which is different than ABC - always be charging), and assume the state of charge of my car is above the set limit (e.g. my car is at 80% and the set limit for charging is 70%). If the car is plugged in, but not charging the battery because the...

    Not Much Driving These Days

    Now that I am part of the WFH brigade and doing very little driving, my car is sitting in the driveway plugged in with a state of charge set at 50%. That is enough if I need to go do a little shopping or pick something up but it could be several days in between driving so after returning from...

    Taptes Gen 2 Shipped in open box

    I just received my Taptes Wireless charger for Model 3 gen 2 from Amazon. When I opened the amazon packaging the Taptes box was unsealed not wrapped in any plastic or enclosure and was open (not even a plastic seal sticky tab). (The box was closed but not sealed in any way). Inside the charger...

    Lifting the 3

    I haven’t paid very much attention to all the threads about jack points on the model 3, how to lift it properly etc I typically have the tire guys change over my winter to summers etc in the driveway. Unfortunately, my left driver’s side 18” winter tire seems to have a slow leak. There is a lot...

    Takes 2 Tries to Close Frunk (?)

    Ever since I bought my car (October 2018) I noticed that it takes "2 pushes" to close my frunk. Assume the frunk is open. I lower it so that it rests right on top of the latch. I then use 2 hands in the recommended spot and push down firmly. The frunk closes, I hear the mechanism make a noise...

    Westin Trillium House Blue Mountain

    Just FYI, while the Westin Trillium House in Blue Mountain has 3 or 4 (not sure which) Tesla chargers and 2 non-Tesla chargers in their underground parking, and parking is $20 per night, they charge $30 per night if you park underground and plug in. I thought this was odd - but that is what...

    i3 in Canada?

    Not sure whether i3 discussions specific to Canada should go in the Canada forum or in a non-Tesla forum, so apologies in advance. Just wondering if anyone has real world experience / thoughts with an i3 (preferably with range extender) in Toronto winters, in particular, RWD (I believe the i3...

    TeslaFi Question about Saving Trips

    I am somewhat new to TeslaFi - just completed a recent round trip road trip on Sunday and Monday. I can go into "Drives" setting and mark yesterday and today and will be presented with all of the details of my road trip (all charging, driving etc during these 2 days). My question is whether...

    Toronto - Montreal

    Notification about Window Open? (But Windows are Closed)

    Has anyone had a problem with the App thinking that one of the windows are open? Not sure how long this has been going on but I recently re-subscribed to TeslaFi and yesterday I received a notice that my window has been down for more than 15 minutes. I was inside at a meeting so I opened the...

    (Another) Request for an Electrician to install HPWC

    A buddy of mine just ordered his Model 3 and purchased the HPWC. He has a 200 amp panel but it is in the basement. I gave him the name of the electrician who did my install but he is busy for at least the next 2 - 3 weeks. Any recommendations for an electrician in the GTA that I can refer to...

    Teaneck, NJ to Toronto Late Night SC Question

    Planning out an upcoming Toronto - Teaneck NJ and then return trip. I have done this a couple of times in my Model 3 and the trip was great, but for this upcoming trip, my return is late night. I am planning on leaving Teaneck only at about 7:30 or 8 pm which means even a 45 minute delta between...

    Paramus NJ (Route 17) Supercharger

    This SC shows up as an 8 stall charger but when I go to the charger home page it looks like it is the showroom location. Is there an issue with stall availability if that is a showroom location? I know, for example, here in Toronto, the showroom location often has all of the stalls full with...

    Supercharging / Charging in Manhattan

    Embarking on a very adventurous (in terms of number stops and distance to be covered in a relatively short period of time - very long driving days) trip in my LR AWD Model 3 in a couple of weeks from Toronto, and I will find myself in the City for a good chunk of one day (from apx. 8 am to 2 or...

    Partition vs Folders

    I understand I can put a USB stick loaded with music in the front right USB and then access the music through the Tesla screen. In order to use Tesla cam and Sentry, I need to create a folder on the USB stick called TeslaCam. I have read about people partitioning their USB stick to allow for...

    Mizzuco (?) Wireless charger.

    Amazon.ca has this wireless charger on sale. I am familiar with the reviews on the “major” brands but have never heard of Mizzuco. Is this just a rebrand on something else? Has anyone tried this? Thx. Wireless Charger for Tesla Model 3, Center Console Charging Pad with Dual USB Ports, Dual...

    Toronto to Montreal.

    Heading out to Montreal shortly from Toronto. I will stop at Kingston as per usual, but I need to arrive in Montreal with about 30 - 35% SOC. I don’t like Cornwall, so from a driving / traffic etc perspective, any thoughts on whether I am better off stopping in Pointe Claire Supercharger or the...

    Sentry Mode in the Rain

    FSD Price Drop

    Just noticed this in the S thread and checked my account. I have EAP and did not take up the previous special of CDN$2,400 for FSD when it was on sale. The price then went up to $7,900 and was showing in my account at $7,900 for quite a while. I just checked my account and FSD has dropped to...

    "Original" $150 Supercharging Credit

    I officially order my car sometime in May of 2018 and received delivery on October 10, 2018. I recall that at the time, the Tesla website was updated to offer $150 of free supercharging for cars that used a referral code prior to delivery. I have email correspondence with my delivery advisor...

    Binghamton Supercharger

    Planning a road trip which requires me to charge in Binghamton to at least 86 - 87% (and preferably more to give me a buffer) in order to allow me to get to my destination, turn around and return back to Binghamton to charge to start my route home. In order to give me cushion (and avoid...

    Niagara Falls Hotel charging

    Planning a trip to Pennsylvania and back next week and was thinking of spending overnight in Niagara Falls. My plan is to leave Toronto, drive to Niagara Falls, stay overnight in a hotel and charge at the hotel overnight on a 240 so I can leave the next morning with a full charge, which should...

    Taptes Model 3 Wireless charged on amazon

    looking for comments including the quality of their included splitter which presumably lets you plug in both sides and still use a USB stick for the teslacam. Did a search but the first several hits that come up are all “for sale” items. People using this one and happy with it?

    Home charger keeps topping up

    I’m away on holidays and left my car plugged in with a state of charge of about 60%. I set the scheduled charging to start at 3 am and set the charge slider to 50%. I assumed that the car would slowly lose some charge due to phantom drain over the course of 2 weeks but would only add charge...

    Erwin NY Supercharger

    Trying to plan a trip from Toronto to my son's camp this summer in the Poconos, Pa. There is a supercharger in Erwin NY that says there is a Holiday Inn Express nearby. (If I stay overnight along the road, I can wake up with a full charge or close to it, which may make it easier that morning.)...

    I Keep Getting "Charging Completed" Notices

    Model 3 on 12.1.2. I noticed (possibly since the most recent update but can't be sure) that when my car is plugged in, I get multiple "Charging Completed At [current time]" notices on my phone for hours after my car has presumably stopped charging. For example, I plugged my car in last night...

    Sentry Mode USB Recording Question

    Recently purchased a new 128 GB USB stick. I have a TeslaCam folder which I created, and under that folder there are 2 subfolders, "Recent Clips" and "Saved Clips". When I active Sentry Mode, I assume it is only recording when Sentry Mode gets activated by movement. Correct? If so, where do...

    Is Update “Available” Upon App Notification?

    When I receive a notification on the app that a new update is available, does that mean it has already been downloaded to the car, and just needs to be installed, or by activating on the app, I am effectively initiating the install? In other words, my car is currently in an underground garage...

    Update fails to Install

    Gap between rubber stripping and between the doors?

    I noticed that I seemed to have a small gap between the rubber moulding in the side of the door and the B pillar. At the top towards the roof it looks tight but towards the middle it looks like there is a gap. Anyone else have this or is it just not secured properly on mine. Thanx in advance
