    Brake Service in Durham Region

    Hi all, was wondering if someone could recommend a place to take my model 3 for brake service on the East end of GTA? I'm in Ajax so anything close by would be good. Got my car in June 2018 and this will be first brake service at 56k km. Looking for a place that has experience with Teslas. Thanks.

    HW3 Upgrade

    I thought they only addressed squeaks and rattles within the first 6 months of purchase? How are you guys getting yours looked at for minor things like that?

    Model 3 mud guards

    The rears are definitely vulnerable to sand-blasting and scratches. I have experienced this first hand. I installed the made in China mud flaps to protect the paint now (and hide the scratches).

    Convert NEMA 5-20 to 6-20?

    I've read that the mobile charger has a GFCI built-in. Do you still need the breaker to have GFCI?

    Convert NEMA 5-20 to 6-20?

    Thanks Kirby. Last question. The wires from the panel box are 14/2. Is that okay for 6-15? I know it’s not enough for 6-20 unfortunately.

    Convert NEMA 5-20 to 6-20?

    Gotcha, thanks! I'll likely remove one of them. Another thing, those plugs are maybe 40 feet from the driveway so I'll be using an extension cord, any issues with that? Do I need to shelter it somehow from rain and snow? Also, any suggestions on securing the charger and extension so no one can...

    Who has lost regen with winter tires?

    @Iwantmy3 do you have regen dots with those tires? I just swapped to the xice3 and always have regen dots though I still get enough regen, is that normal?

    Convert NEMA 5-20 to 6-20?

    Was wondering if this can be done on outdoor plugs that have GFCI? if so, do they make 6-20 plugs with GFCI? I'm planning to do this since I park outside and I know the 2 outdoor plugs are on one breaker and nothing else. Yeah I won't be able to use those plugs for anything else (unless I get an...

    Model 3 Evaporator Coil Cleaner

    Hi, has anyone been able to DIY clean the evaporator coils in the model 3 in Canada? I know people have used Kool-It in the US but I don't think its available in Canada. Service charges $120 to clean the evaporator coils. I've already bought the cabin filters to replace them myself but since...

    Windshield chip repair recommendation

    Hi everyone, am hoping to get some recommendations for places in the GTA (preferably East end) that do minor windshield chip repairs on Teslas. Specifically model 3. TIA

    Tesla charging fights?

    Giving thanks is fine, do you. The original issue was that 3 owners were called freeloaders and no one batted an eyelid but calling S/X owners that was shot down. And I dont think he was calling all S/X owners freeloaders, just the ones who can charge at home but choose to charge at the...

    Limited Charging - due to cold temperature

    What were the symptoms of your issue? For me when I charge outdoors in the cold on 120v itll charge for a bit and then drop to 0 kph even though its still drawing power. In the end I'll get like 50% charging efficiency. Is this the same as what you were experiencing or is my car just using the...

    Another winter tire thread.

    Is it possible there's a software issue when using Xice3? I get constant fishtailing on turns in my RWD LR, even in chill mode and conservative driving. No errors like OP though. Just the traction control flashing that its working. I was able to get out of my unplowed street though it was really...

    Slow charging to keep heat in the battery

    Like someone said charging at high amps is pretty efficient at around 90% so only some of the 10% is warming up the battery. Charging is the 2nd best way to heat up the pack I think. Driving is the 3rd best since the motor is 90% or more efficient so very little is lost to heat up the pack, also...

    Phantom Braking - follow distance

    I've noticed that it seems to be picking up the speed limit of roads near the overpass, like the offramp or the road above itself. Since those aren't highways it forces the car to a speed not more than 10kph over that non-highway speed limit. I've seen the blue cruise control speed change at the...

    Wind Noise

    SC decided not to replace windshield, instead they adjusted the leading seal. Can still hear the wind fluttering above me. I even tried the electrical tape covering the seam solution but didnt help. Do I need to cover the gaps that run along the body too? It seems the techs really dont want to...

    Software Update 2018.32.2 3817fdd

    Wind Noise

    Hey guys, i'll be getting my windshield replaced middle of next week and will report back. I noticed something else to do with the windshield and would like to hear from others if they have the same thing. The gap between headliner and windshield on the front is quite large in my car, i noticed...

    Phantom Braking - follow distance

    Sorry didnt read that part. But still it would be happening just as often on manual driving but it isnt. It would help if the screen showed what safety feature was used when a braking event occurs.

    At first they told me they would re-seat it and kept it for the weekend, then I was told they need to replace it, they didnt say if it was deformed.

    Wind Noise

    I got my car back without the windshield replacement. They said they've ordered it and it'll take 3 weeks to get so I'll be contacted when its time. I've since taken some photos. I noticed by running my fingers along the seams from center of the car to the edge that the glass panels are flush in...

    Wind Noise

    Shoot sorry I didnt take photos of it. I thought I had but it's of a friend's windshield that doesnt have the issue. It's not something you could tell visually anyway. The only difference I could tell was the insulation in that gap wasn't seamless with the windshield in a small section of that...

    Wind Noise

    So after going in with wind noise complaints twice and having two different technicians tell me they dont think its excessive I asked them nicely to still have a look for my peace of mind. Turns out they have found an issue with the windshield, it's not sitting flush with the glass roof and is...

    Any Issues with your Model 3?

    That's odd. I used armor all wipes to clean suncreen, it was the only thing that worked for me, I tried dove soap with a brush and then IPA and neither helped. Dove soap was taking forever, think it needs like 20-30 passes. IPA seemed to stain the seats. So the armor all works for me, just have...

    EAP Users- Is it worth $5k?

    Don't think its worth 5k IMO. It's still very much beta and is missing features that are included in that 5k. It has issues with lane changing often, can't have cars close to it. It sometimes has issues seeing cars cutting in the lane. The way it accelerates and decelerates is jarring and not...

    Red Brake Calipers - incredible work and price!

    Got it done today. Looks great. Grinding is bit concerning. Didn't go away on the drive home. There's also cyclical grinding from a stop when accelerating. Gets faster as wheels spin faster and then blends in with road noise. Is this normal? I still see some streaks of overspray on the rotors.

    Wind Noise

    What did they say didnt look right about the gasket? When I went to the SC they went with me for a test drive and said the wind noise was normal. But I still feel the buffeting at above 70kph is annoying and probably due to the gaps in the glass roof and/or the gasket you had replaced. I told...
