    Supercharging disabled after 2020.48 [salvage title model 3]

    @martinst in the US they have started disabling the supercharging in the model 3. This is somewhat recent. If I recall correctly they aren’t even doing it via a software update. It lasted for a few years here.

    What’s your zip code. I can get a quote for you.

    Yes they are the stock mats. I sold the car with aftermarket fronts and have these left over.

    Model Y Hole in Hood under the Badge

    Thanks for the heads up. They figured it was a whole lot easier alignment the emblem with the prongs. Here’s my model 3 without an emblem. I wonder if the hoods are interchangeable. I haven’t bothered to check.

    Does your screen power up if you provide juice to the 12 volt battery?

    Please tell me what led you to believe all of this that you are speculating on. The software upgrade required error is present when there is a mismatched module present. You are correct on that.

    Somebody selling my wrecked model 3 VIN in a different car

    Well I would say your wording could have been better if that is the case. I’m not defending the dealer. I wouldn’t buy that car. And it’s up to the dealer to decide how much work is worth it for a flip. You have to keep in mind that they are not a Tesla approved shop or any high end shop for...

    Somebody selling my wrecked model 3 VIN in a different car

    While I agree with your points, that is not what the OP’s post is portraying. He’s putting out false accusations about what happened to his previous car. Just read the title of this thread again.

    Somebody selling my wrecked model 3 VIN in a different car

    I haven’t been in that situation. I’m fairly certain you know that this is different. Your Tesla account gives you far more capabilities that just having a “key” to your car. Plus I’m giving the original poster a hard time because he went out on a limb and posted some crazy speculations.

    Somebody selling my wrecked model 3 VIN in a different car

    Yea it did create quite a storm. What’s fishy is that you don’t own the car but have access to the car still. You can login to your Tesla account and remove it manually now, if I’m not mistaken.

    Somebody selling my wrecked model 3 VIN in a different car

    I haven’t looked into this company but my guess is this is what they do. It is a little sketchy. An uninformed buyer can definitely fall for this. A thorough buyer would find out it has been in an accident either by purchasing a car fax, googling the vin, or asking the seller. I’m personally...

    Somebody selling my wrecked model 3 VIN in a different car

    As far as warranty on this car. Tesla specifically mentions salvage titles cars losing their warranty after an accident. This car never had a salvage title so you would think it’s still valid. However, this warranty might be void if Tesla someone finds out if was repaired by someone other than a...

    This goes to show that someone puts up a bunch of bologna without knowing or verifying anything. And the speculation goes through the roof

    Somebody selling my wrecked model 3 VIN in a different car

    Who said the vin of the body does not match the vin of the OS? There is absolutely nothing compelling in any of these posts to even warrant any official to investigate anything based on the posts here. Let’s get a few things sorted out. 1. Model 3 gets into accident in TX and goes to the...

    FS: Precut 3M Pro Series PPF for Model 3

    In March of 2019 I purchased ppf for my model 3. I never got around to installing it and here we are a year later almost. My car is going to a new home soon so I will not be using the ppf. This covers the bumper, fog lights, headlights, mirrors and partial fenders and hood. The parking sensors...

    Somebody selling my wrecked model 3 VIN in a different car

    His car was sold with a Clean title at the IAA auction. See the link he provided to the sale of his car. That’s not his issue to worry about with how his car is titled now. In NY, I believe I would still get a salvage title, however with some stated you can keep a clean title.

    Report them for what? From what I can tell someone replaced the interior with a black one.

    Somebody selling my wrecked model 3 VIN in a different car

    @drsnooker wasnt your car black and had the purple wrap? I don’t understand why you are blowing this up. Someone bought your car and changed the interior to a black one. There is nothing shady going on here unless the actual chassis of the car has a different vin sticker on it. Which you don’t...

    If you unlock the car with the app, the daylight running lights will stay on for a little while

    Got rear-ended, what's the best body shop in OC to get an estimate?

    I can’t help about where to get an estimate. But based on this picture there is most likely no damage to the battery, charger, or motor. Did your seat belts lock up or any airbags deploy? If they did you won’t be able to drive the car, and it will not charge via 240v or supercharger.

    My cost to charge in a NY winter

    I barely use sentry mode, so that won’t be a huge factor. Preconditioning, preheating cabin and vampire loss are the big ones. This month I’m going to try charging when battery is warm, and will not pre heat the cabin. Will be interesting to see the results.

    My cost to charge in a NY winter

    Preheating is definitely wasted energy, I agree. I’ll change it up for the next 30 days. I’m going to preheat very little or not at all. I’ll also try to charge after the battery is warm. Outdoor temps will be similar. I’m seeing 300-400 wh/mi in the car but am measuring at the wall charger to...

    My cost to charge in a NY winter

    I ran a little experiment to get an idea of how much it would cost me to charge monthly, especially during the winter. I have a LR RWD. I drove 698 miles between 11/15/18 and 12/15/19. I started and ended the experiment with the battery charged to 80% to keep it consistent. The temperature has...

    Did you reset the RCM (restraint control module)?

    Frozen handle and windows.

    I have to pay attention to this now. I’m on the latest software update right now and I don’t recall the windows rolling down slightly to prevent this.

    Winter driving advice, winter tire choices, etc.

    I’m guessing you mean charging via 120v when you say trickle charger. That should still be effective. Your car will definitely survive. If you did not plug in, you will lose some range while the car is sitting in the cold, and you will have get the snowflake icon which will restrict the...

    Winter issues, frozen windows, door locks, seals, etc.

    Where exactly did you spray this? I’m under the impression that the window freezes near the horizontal door trim piece, not at the actual tracks.

    Winter driving advice, winter tire choices, etc.

    Thanks for the reply and link to the article. For me the issue isn’t with the glass freezing to the rubber seal. It’s frozen shut and won’t even roll down.

    Winter driving advice, winter tire choices, etc.

    Yes it’s a pain indeed. Preconditioning will help I’m sure, but I don’t think it will always work. To me it seems wrong to have to precondition the car every time in order to access the car. I could live with it if it were just stuck door handles. It would be nice if the frameless window design...

    Does anyone have any solutions for preventing the door handles and windows from freezing? Even if they’re somewhat successful.

    Need Advice on Totaled Model X

    It looks like the average 2018 model x has been selling for just north of 35k. I would imagine a p100d would yield more at one of the auctions.

    Were you able to find anyone to help you out? Are you a member of the Tesla Buy Sell Trade group on Facebook? I would try posting there, folks are going to be more responsive.
