    FSD beta 1-month trial in Canada

    As soon as I installed 2024.3.6 this morning, I got an email adding me into the 1 month trial. Pretty cool to see us getting roughly the same timetable as our neighbours down south. One drive so far, pretty interesting - mostly impressive, a little scary and some understandable challenges it had...

    MY running fine but service mode has lots of VCFRONT_a059_inputResistanceHigh warnings

    Is this a concern? Possible indications 12V is struggling? There’s probably 10-15 of these warning but no regular alerts to me. And before anyone lectures me, yes I realize this is service mode and not meant for owners/worriers. It’s my second Tesla and I’ve done 110,000km so I’m not a...

    Failed heat pump and supermanifold, out of warranty - $ouch

    My 2020 Model Y has been generally great - we just passed 100,000km. Last night though, sitting in it waiting for my kids there was a loud clunk and then a bunch of battery/BMS warnings. At first it didn't want to drive but a quick reboot and the issues seemed to go away. I went into service...

    2023.2.10 update and seat heater icon

    Just noticed this in the release notes as my car is updating - "If you set your seat heaters to be in the vehicle's launcher, they will now display gray heat 'waves,' even when they're turned off". Trying to recall what it does now - are the waves only there when "on"? If so I have a feeling...

    Roadside assistance after warranty

    What have most people done after the end of the complimentary roadside assistance at 80,000km? I've never used it but I'd like something for peace of mind. Options like CAA and Canadian Tire make a big deal of their "gas top ups" and discounts on gas purchases so I'm guessing EVs aren't even on...

    Streaming apps and LTE geo-location

    Has anyone else had odd issues with apps and the content selection seeming to be from another location - I'm guessing US? I've now seen it with Netflix - show we have been watching at home is not there at all and DAZN - logged in via the browser and practically none of the sports I get at home...

    Mudflaps from M3?

    Has anyone fitted the Model 3 flaps onto their Y? I have the smaller ones left over from my M3 kit and it looks like they’ll fit the same attachment locations. I see a lot of stuff being kicked up onto the rear - got it PPFed but looking to add a bit more protection.

    New Model Y delivery dream

    Seeing as we get plenty of delivery "nightmare" stories I thought I'd contrast. I've bought several new cars over the years and I'll take the Tesla process (and product) over all of them. The delivery process couldn't have been easier - I went to the SC and called my advisor (in a different...

    PPF and Ceramic after 2+ years?

    Folks who've had their car for 2+ years/winters and did PPF/Ceramic - how is it holding up? They all look amazing when brand new and just done, I'm curious if the car still looks above average after the ravages of time and especially Canadian winter, and if you feel the investment was worth it...

    Trade-in Model 3 needs to have original wheels for trade-in pictures?

    Buying a Y and trading my 3. All is good and I have a great offer but today I'm told it's $2,000 less than quoted if I can't send pictures of it with the original aero wheels on. I still have the wheels and will be putting them on for trade-in, I sent a picture of them and offered to send a...

    Resale/Upgrade

    Has anyone sold their 3 privately or upgraded via a Tesla trade in yet? My LR RWD has been great but I’d love to try the Performance and I’m ready to splurge on it. I did ping Tesla about trade in back in June (thinking end of quarter might be a good time) however the offer was really really...

    Ottawa service centre now in app?

    Maybe this is old news but I notice in the app I can now select Ottawa for a service appointment? 845 Carling Ave... Maybe this is just a way to get mobile service but it doesn't say so. Giving it a try for a Sept appointment.

    Annoying braking on TACC - is this normal?

    I've had some long-running issues with my car braking suddenly for vehicles in other lanes, sometimes when they are two lanes over. Every time it happens the screen shows the "offending" vehicle(s) as a darker gray on screen - I'm guessing that means it's a vehicle the car is tracking/avoiding...

    First Model 3 service - brake fluid change?

    I'm just hitting 40,000km and thinking about service - the manual says I should be changing the brake fluid now. Opinions from friends say this would be overkill for most cars. Has anyone done it? Is there a safety or warranty issue if I'm happy with my brakes and don't do it? If I do it, is...

    Easy wheel changes on the Model 3!

    Super-pleased yesterday to find that you can lift the whole side of the car just by jacking at the rear (on my RWD, not sure if AWD would be different). The ranger told me this but I hadn't had chance to try. Apparently the rigidity of the car makes this possible. It makes seasonal wheel changes...

    Auto lane change on the 417 in Ottawa?

    Is anyone currently successfully using auto lane change and/or Navigate on AP in Ottawa on the 417? I recently got the second EAP trial but haven't been able to get lane change to work even once over a few weeks - I just get a message that it's unavailable. During my first trial I used it a...

    Lane change stopped working - unavailable message

    I'm currently running the EAP trial. I've had it before and lane change worked great, this time it hasn't worked once in two weeks of trying - I always get the "Currently unavailable - contact support if this continues" message. I also find that NoA does nothing when active - I'm guessing...

    Charging cable won't insert - frozen "tab" inside receiver?

    Ugh, had my fill of winter issues already with door/window issues. Now tonight that I can't plugin my charging cable - the charge door opens fine but it looks like there's a small tab at the bottom of the charge port which is in the way, I suspect it's frozen in place. Tried to post a pic below...

    Model 3 doors/windows/mirrors + Ice = trouble

    I've always been waiting to see if the Model 3 works well as a winter car and got a few worrying signs today. It's garaged at home but I usually have to leave it outside during the day at work. Today started out coolish at 1 or 2 degrees C and snowy then got progressively colder - down to -3C or...

    Rear vents blowing much warmer?

    There’s a thread on this in the main M3 forum but since more of us deal with cold weather... Today my rear vents were blasting unpleasantly warm air when the whole system was set to Auto 20 degrees C with both zones synced. The front vents were blowing relatively cool air like I’d expect at...

    Wifi connection problems?

    Anyone else have issues getting their 3 connected to wifi? I've extended my network out to the garage with ethernet and I've tried a couple of different access points (a Netgear and an Airport Express) but the car won't connect - it sees the network, prompts for the password, thinks about it for...

    Will you add EAP based on the v9 features and current discount?

    I'm certainly tempted to save the $700 (Canada) - I did like it on the trial and I'm kind of missing it. v9 looks like it gets even better, assuming the US-only AP features do come to Canada sooner or later.

    Tuxmat velcro fix for Model 3

    Did any other Tuxmat owners get a message about extra velcro pads being dispatched to deal with the clips not working in the Model 3? Has anyone installed them? My mats are still boxed in the garage awaiting the chilly season but curious how well they fit without this fix and how the velcro...

    Do they get rain in California?

    ...because the rain sensor in the 3 really sucks. Is it just me? Is there something up with my car? Is Canadian rain different? :-) I almost always end up pressing the end of the stalk for extra wipes or just go back to manual. Otherwise it gets really hard to see in an unsafe way and there...

    Update disappeared?

    I got the update notification for the latest update yesterday but after I pressed the X to close the update pop up window (I didn’t have time to do it or schedule it just then), the update has completely disappeared - no alarm clock icon, nothing. Anyone seen similar? Any way to get it back...

    ON electrical code - 2018 changes for vehicle charger load calcs

    So had another interesting chat with an electrician today. Apparently some ESA adjustments to code this year altered the load calculation to consider varying load during the day/night which might allow some of us to avoid an upgrade - you can install a device to monitor demand and throttle power...

    Where does the delivery date call come from?

    Waiting for my call and having to answer lots of random numbers (diamond company and cruise sales tonight!). Normally I never answer unknown numbers for this exact reason but I'd hate to miss my M3 call! Will the call be a local number at my nearest dealer (I'm in Ottawa so Montreal I guess) or...
