    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Short weekend OT. Took a rideshare model 3 in NYC this morning. Right after pickup the car slammed on the brakes harder than I ever have in mine. Spouse didn't finished putting seatbelt on and smacked into the back of the front seat. Pedestrian walked directly in front of us from behind a parked...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    In addition to @Krugerrand 's solid points around other motivations, I don't believe Tesla's ESPP is structured the way you describe. Most ESPPs seem to be pretty standardized with small variation around the offerring period length. In short, ESPPs will typically look at two share prices - the...

    Canada - FSD rollout

    For those of us keeping up with our safety scores I thought this was amusing. Yesterday swapped off my winter tires. Went for a drive, oh, maybe 10 houses down the road. Turned into a driveway, turned around and drove home. That was the only drive for the day. Smooth, probably didn't even get...

    Canada - FSD rollout

    As I check for an update several times a day, waiting for my turn, I ponder what factors could make me not a chosen one. I have a 99 score, 2018 model 3. But this morning I poked through my settings and rediscovered that under data sharing/privacy I was not allowing Tesla to access clips from...

    Model S REST API

    I'd find a postman collection convenient and appreciated. Saves me from crafting each call the first time I use it.

    Hit and Run on a parking lot on 3rd Line and Dundas in Oakville

    What's wrong with people these days? This morning leaving the gym I literally stood and watched some guy try to pull into the parking space beside me. He scraped all along the car on the other side of the space (a Mercedes.) When he got out I told him what he did and that he better leave a...

    HW3 Upgrade

    I got a call around 6:00 as well, to move my appointment out a few weeks for the same reason. I wasn't scheduled to be in until end of the week. Maybe they just ran out or otherwise decided Monday afternoon was a good time to see if they had any more of those parts left, hah.

    My windshield wipers rarely ever clean the left corner of my windshield. Is this common?

    Just adding that I have had this problem since I got the car 18 months ago. Spent a lot of time trying to fix the dribble. A mobile tech made some minor adjustments but it didn't correct it. Then took it to the SC and they insisted it was working properly.

    2019.32.2.2 trunk button no longer working

    Dredging up an old thread because I'm part of the club now. Ive had the car for over a year and only had BT issues in the very early weeks. Was 99% reliable for almost all the time. I too put something in the trunk almost every time I use the car and now find the car doesn't detect/unlock when...

    Ontario 407 - V10 horrible

    I also drove to Niagara today, which was my first longish drive with AP since getting V10 as I was out of province last week. I came home with a big smile to tell the wife I finally "didn't yell at the car, not even once!". Yes it was smooth, no phantom braking and what used to irk me the most -...

    Charging 120V @ 32A

    I noticed the screenshot shows you're pulling 32A. If using a TT-30 remember to manually back the amperage to 24, since you don't have the one that signals it automatically.

    Shoutout for Carpro Reload for Ceramic coating

    I ceramic coated my Model 3 when I got it last June. Decided to try Reload just this weekend. Definitely seemed to add some gloss. I had read some people had streaking on darker cars so I diluted 1:1. It was my first time so I was being cautious. What color are you guys applying it on and did...

    Model 3 clicking sound near the rear wheel area

    Hey cole, I came to this thread because I've been noticing a sound coming from the front left wheel area when making right turn at low speed. I wouldn't call it a click exactly but I can slightly feel it too. It doesn't happen every time and I can barely describe it! Thanks for your post. For...

    Charge Current Changed On It’s Own

    I've had the same drop to 13A as well, twice. Both times were about a month or two ago. There was another thread around then. Today I noticed mine set itself to 36. I'm always able to re-up it and I'm pretty sure everything is plugged in tight.

    Battery range increasing AFTER charging completes?

    I've been experiencing the same for the last while. Today for example I finished charging at 75%, then almost immediately drove a few kms to the gym which dropped to 74% and then when I finished at the gym (not charging) it was up to 76%. Shenanigans.

    WC Charging Speed Backed Off to 13A

    Some great suggestions, thanks! I did see the 5A thread about a month ago and that's what my intuition is leaning towards. The one I remember anyway was on 120V/5A. I wonder if it could be a similar software bug with a different value on 240V. I like the idea of changing my start time and...

    WC Charging Speed Backed Off to 13A

    Had my Model 3 LR for a year, along with its wall connector. I plug in when I get home and schedule charging for overnight when rates are lower. On two recent occasions (today and I think about a week ago) I woke up to find the car hadn't finished charging. The display indicated it was charging...

    NoA not wanting to stay in HOV lane

    I had a fascinating NOA experience on the way home from the airport today. I don't usually use NOA but just wanted to see where it's at. On 401W collector towards 403W there are 3 exit lanes. The leftmost of the 3 (which is like middle of 5 or 6 overall) is the ideal lane and goes to 403. I...

    Seat heater turns off after 20-30 seconds?

    Give her a comment about how trim she's been looking lately. In my case I would have the heater preheating then back out of the garage without my wife in the car which is when it turns off.

    Seat heater turns off after 20-30 seconds?

    The latest version of the manual says this on page 103: Note: To conserve energy, a seat heater in a passenger seating position automatically turns offi ifa occupant is not detected when the Drive gear is engaged. I guess it's a feature, not a bug. I don't love it, but at least I understand it.

    USB cables no longer included

    I can get on board with a lot of cost saving measures but this one feels cheap. Like it cheapens the brand. The cost of the cables is surely minimal (< $1 per car) and you really need to have the exact ones for a nice refined fit. This is the kind of thing that I'd tell people about at parties...

    Aux input into Model 3 (or: FM modulation questions)

    Could an old phone be repurposed with an app to essentially do the same thing as the Bluetooth transmitter? Agree Tesla should fix the pairing code though.

    Are Canadians still getting Model 3s right now?

    I believe Model 3s are still coming in. Mid-morning yesterday I was driving westbound on Hwy 403 near Brantford and saw a carrier full of Model 3s heading eastbound. Last summer we saw these trucks all over the place but it's been a long time since I've seen one.

    We often say that we can drive the car if the MCU dies or reboots. True but I found today I couldn't start driving until it booted up, because I have PIN to drive enabled.

    Model S REST API

    I had been setting the Content-type header. Although they accepted it for quite a while (maybe even required it at one time?) it seems to break things now. With only the Authorization header it works as expected.

    Model S REST API

    I've been getting 500 internal server errors for the last few days when calling auto_conditioning_start. Using Postman it seems I get this for all POSTs (set charge limit, set temperatures.) My GETs work and the wake_up POST also works fine. Has something changed with respect to required...

    2019.8.3 Change to AP lane change behavior?

    I did 650km mostly on AP yesterday and noticed the deceleration before lane changes many but not all times. I'd guess it did it to me about 10-15 times. It's incredibly annoying when nobody is around and dangerous when there is. I tried to look for commonality and one thought is that it seemed...

    $1k Refunds on FSD Start March 11

    I'm starting to get a little annoyed. Recap: bought EAP with car last year, bought FSD upgrade on March 1 at $4400 CDN ($3k). Asked Tesla customer support to confirm that my account reflects that I will be getting the refund and when to expect it. Clearly they barely read my question. Also...

    "Hold" mode stopped working today

    Perhaps the new behavior is mine then. Any thoughts on what the upside is to releasing hold by pressing the brake a second time?

    "Hold" mode stopped working today

    I've noticed what I think is a new behavior with hold (noticed since the 2018.50.x update or so). Arrive at a traffic light, brake to a complete stop. Hold mode engages. At that point I might rest my foot on the floor rather than the brake. Or remove some pressure from the brake pedal. If I then...

    Windshield wipers are horrible, and arguably dangerous

    I can tell you the lack of sufficient washer fluid on the drivers side is my biggest gripe. I'm surprised it's not talked about much here unless it's not the same for all cars. On a snowy time the dirty spray kicked up is constant and I have to hold the washer down for several passes in hopes...

    High pitched noise from drive unit

    If they all do it, and we're just lucky enough to notice it more than others I don't think there's anything they can do anyway. Unless yours is worse than mine, I've trained myself to tune it out. Sort of like how people who live beside a train track or under a flight path don't notice after a...

    High pitched noise from drive unit

    I hear something that fits your description. It's quiet enough that I don't consciously notice it all the time. I remember thinking to myself if this was much louder, or if my ears were more sensitive it could be annoying.

    No longer getting charging complete notification.

    I'm not sure it's the mobile app update that fixed it. I'm still on 3.8.0 but my charging complete notifications started working about 3 days ago. I had a ranger out the day before which involved a repush of firmware (stayed on same version 2018.50.6) so I figured that fixed it. Now I'm...

    Bitter cold and snow in GTA vs my Model 3 (LR, RWD)

    Navigate on autopilot not in Canada? 2018.42

    Yes I've experience that behaviour in other places any time you decide not to follow the instruction. Eg. For me to go home its equal time for two exits. If I decide to take whichever one it didn't choose it will do the extreme slowdown. I think it's trying to give you a chance to make the...

    Video - Tesla Model 3 Cold Weather Charging Issue

    So far I've been lucky, only had the occasional charge cable locked with the car unwilling to release but loaded a hair dryer and extension cord into the car a few weeks ago. Watching the video with the wife and she says I need to get an inverter. (Okay she said "battery plug thingie" but I know...

    My car was garaged at 7°C and plugged in during the update. When it was time to leave, the charge cable could not be released using the regular means (button on handle, screen options, reboot etc). I had to use the manual release. If this is an anomaly because of the upgrade process I'll let...

    Yes each one is different. Shooting the breeze with the Burlington guy he cited the story about a US Costco damaging one years ago. But then told me he thinks Stoney Creek might do it because they always did and were comfortable with Teslas.

    Bought my own winter tires...

    I know others already said, but I also went to Kal Tire in Milton. They said they had probably done 30 Teslas prior to mine. I had no concerns. Also I was in and out in ~35mins (with appointment and I had previously dropped of my rims so they could have the tires mounted in advance) so the 20...

    Who has lost regen with winter tires?

    Just one more data point to add. RWD with Hakka R3s on Aero wheels with Tesla TPMS. At first (driving back from tire shop) I noticed it but thought "that's not so bad". That drive was mostly at 80kph or so. Today driving a couple hundred km across 407/404/400 and it's very noticeable. I feel the...
