    Left front fender camera error - anyone else have this?

    Happens to me every time I drive at night. I live in a rural town, so this always happens to me. Tesla Service even replaced this camera for another unrelated issue which didn't make a difference. I drive a 2018 Model 3 LR.

    Wrong location on GPS and not able to do a soft reset, should I be concerned?

    I had this exact issue in July. My symptoms were: 1. GPS would show me parked at home and would never update 2. Auto High Beams, Auto Wipers, Screen Dimming would not work 3. None of the cameras could be viewed in either the app or the service -> cameras option (and wouldn't record footage...

    UGH - The smell of it. [AC Smell]

    I sprayed a generous amount of AC coil cleaner and after about 15-20 mins of letting it soak in and evaporate in the sun, I then sprayed some Mold Control so that hopefully there is no more build up of mold/mildew, also replaced the filters. It's been a week so far and so far no smell, of course...

    Tesmat order problem

    I ordered on May 19th, with the date saying it’ll ship late June, but I have yet to receive any shipping info or any updates to my order. Has anyone ordered this lately, or have an idea of what the actual shipping times are?

    Tesla Service damaged my car door shell

    There will be a difference for sure, even though the cars paint is relatively new, it won't ever look the same. Though you may not even notice it from a distance, it's usually when you look up close when you tend to see the difference. Also, it depends on your paint colour too, some are easier...

    Tesla Service damaged my car door shell

    The only major thing I can think of is the paint would most likely no longer match with the other panels, Either it'll be hugely noticeable or just a slight difference. Normally a body shop would blend the paint of panels around it to match the replacement door. When you are at the SC to pick...

    Touchscreen malfunctioning on long trips

    Interesting, didn't know that. Although, I had the factory film removed and got it replaced with new film when I had my car wrapped with PPF few years back... though that was also giving me weird touch screen issues, so just recently I replaced it with tempered glass and has been working fine since.

    Touchscreen malfunctioning on long trips

    You should probably try replacing the factory screen protector with a new tempered glass one. That seems to do the trick as well. (At least for me).

    recommend a reputable tow hitch and bike rack installer in GTA?

    I had Alan from EcoHitch Niagara install mine last year, you can contact him at 905 941 3899. He did a very good job and was able to finish the job really quickly (3-4 hours). Was about $595 for the hitch + 295 labour. Also once the hitch is installed, you can easily install the bike rack...

    Is the Key Fob worth buying?

    To open anything with a key card you have to unlock the car first (assuming you don't have the Tesla app set up on your phone to work as a key). The trunk can be opened like any other trunk in a car by pulling it up against the switch above the rear license plate. Frunk would have to be opened...

    Is the Key Fob worth buying?

    Valid point for those who have a Smart watch (I do have an Apple Watch), but I never use it... not sure why I even bought it lol. Guess I never really was a watch guy.

    Is the Key Fob worth buying?

    For me I use the key fob primarily when I need to open the frunk during winter.. much easier to do this rather than opening via app.

    Got new tires and now regenerative braking does not work.

    This has happened to us Model 3 owners back during fall of 2018 when we started to switch over to winter tires. This appears to be normal behavior and eventually you get some regen back, but because temps drop you won’t get the full regen until it averages 20c again, however at that point you’d...

    Driver side fender / paint repair costs? TM3

    You can have PDR done without film being removed. I've had it done twice on both the driver and passenger side front doors. They will be re-painting sections and blending with the other panels to give it a seamless look.

    Driver side fender / paint repair costs? TM3

    2.1k for the dent repair/three-stage paint. It will be extra for re-wrapping the three panels. Right now I have a full car wrap.

    Driver side fender / paint repair costs? TM3

    Lol, none since I paid off my car last year. There's paint damage after looking at it closely, so might not be DIY-able, probably wouldn't want to risk any further damage anyways. Anyways, I have someone who my PPF guy vouches for who has worked on Tesla's and their 3-stage red paint as well...

    Driver side fender / paint repair costs? TM3

    Hmmm I see. From what I've been hearing from other people is that Tesla body shops usually just replace the damage panel rather than attempt repair. I'm not sure if that's what they do always but it would seem to me it would get a lot more expensive if that's the case... then they would also be...

    Driver side fender / paint repair costs? TM3

    Hey guys, Last night my dad managed to reverse park into my red Tesla model 3 and scratched the PPF and dented driver side fender and scuffed up the PPF for the bumper as well. Since it wasn’t wrapped to the edges, I can see a bit of paint damage. I was wondering what was the going repair cost...

    HW3 Upgrade

    Just picked up my car after getting it upgraded with HW3. Mine was basically like a factory reset, nothing really carried over. Also gotta turn walk away lock on as well :)

    HW3 Upgrade

    My previous appointment was cancelled as well due to the part not being in stock for HW3. I have an appointment tomorrow morning to get HW3 installed on my car (Oakville SC). I picked up my car on May 22nd, 2018, so it's one of the earlier Model 3s that started delivering in Canada.

    Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but we'd likely lose 1-person HOV access if everyone drove an EV :S

    Don't try this on the highway... 2020.4.1

    I don't agree with people saying enable NOAP at the beginning of the trip. I mean, why else allow you to enable/disable NOAP while driving? Sometimes you have it on at the beginning of your trip and decide that it's not changing lanes when you want it to, or it keeps juggling between two empty...

    PPF, when should I do it?

    Yes, do it same day. Don't make the same mistake as me. When I brought it in my hood was riddled with small rock chips (after a few weeks!). Though he was able to clean it up and make it very hard to see unless you're really up close. The only reason for the delay was because my rear bumper had...

    I forgot my phone at home once, and only realized it after I already got to work... since I had my keyfob with me. :( Wouldn't have happened otherwise :P

    HW3 Upgrade

    That's strange, we got our cars nearly the same time (mine being May 22nd, 2018), the ranger told me that my car is highlighted on the list to be installed. :S

    HW3 Upgrade

    Have an appointment at the Oakville Center on the Feb 25th as well for HW3 installation. Have the 2018 LR RWD M3. The person who will supposedly be installing this dropped by my house today to quickly fix my other issue (stuck door handles) and confirmed this as well in person. Can't wait :)

    HW3 Upgrade

    I get the very same message very frequently now as well. Very rarely did it happen before. Not sure exactly which FW version it began to sprout up on though.

    Any permanent fix of the b-pillar cameras fogging up?

    I've preheated every single time I've had this issue happen. Were you able to remove the vapour barrier, or the mobile service tech had to do it? Also, would the removal of this barrier cause any other unforeseen issues in the future with the camera?

    A good way of measuring accurately KWH usage?

    https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B014W3D1OC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Was in one of my earlier posts.

    A good way of measuring accurately KWH usage?

    Got the voltage reading fixed thank you for the help! Also swapped one of the other meter to be on a different circuit, since the dryer wasn’t reading much per usage. It’s on the kitchen fridge now, thinking that might also be draining a lot.

    Any permanent fix of the b-pillar cameras fogging up?

    Hey all, I've recently had both my b-pillars cameras replaced due to condensation happening on the glass inside on the b-pillar where the AutoPilot cameras are located. And lately, this issue started to happen again... I searched on the forums and there doesn't appear to be a permanent fix for...

    A good way of measuring accurately KWH usage?

    Awesome, will probably look into that today. Will also be swapping the one of the meters off the dryer circuit, since the usage for that is predictable.

    A good way of measuring accurately KWH usage?

    It is already around the black wire, not the red wire. Do you mean to move the neutral wire connected from the meter, into the breaker where the red wire for the HPWC is connected, instead of having the neutral wire connected to the back of the panel where all the other neutrals are connected?

    A good way of measuring accurately KWH usage?

    I wired them like this: 1.CT Sensor cables on the first two pins on the device 2. Black wire from the car charger wired through the CT Sensor 3. Black wire from the third pin of the device (iirc) into the same source as where the black wire for the car charger is connected into the breaker 4...

    A good way of measuring accurately KWH usage?

    Yes, only one (miniITX build) that is on 24/7 as my personal home server, very minimal power consumption. It was always on in my rental place as well, so I don't think that's causing a huge dent in the usage. A strange thing I noticed is that the car charger reports as 122v, was expecting it to...

    A good way of measuring accurately KWH usage?

    Yeah, I use the new scheduled departure feature, and that feature automatically adjusts amperage too, from what I can tell, it doesn't always use the max 48amps, I think it does it to prolong the time the battery stays warm maybe?
  47. Z

    A good way of measuring accurately KWH usage?

    It's very sporadic, I can't pinpoint what's causing it other than the obvious EV charging, have it scheduled charging through the car interface for off peak hours.

    A good way of measuring accurately KWH usage?

    Also, got a few of these in today, going to hook these up to each circuit that I believe to be the culprits. (Furnace, Washer, Dryer, EV Charger).

    Home is from early 70s, wiring is mostly from that same era... it's a gas water heater. I'm getting double that in a small house :( Yes, apparently mines higher than 98.4% of everyone else around me... lol I can't imagine my bill being so much higher just from my car when all I do is drive...
