Had mobile service come by today (first time for me) and replaced my 2018’s charging port - the motor that opened / closed it died. Received a $0 bill - very happy with the whole experience.

Do you have any comparison data on the OEM equipment?

The main reason I recommend using ABRP over the built-in Tesla nav for planning is that you can select what % of battery you want to arrive at your final destination with. If you don’t have a charging option available or only a 110v outlet then you may want to charge longer at your last...

just try to not drop it - there aren't extensive drop test videos like when a new iPhone comes out

Off except for road trips

Thread title makes it sound like you are linking the degradation to that specific build version.

It looks like he likely thought you pushed him in to the botts’ dots but not moving further to the left and slightly drifting to the right. That’s my guess - still uncalled for.

Interesting until you see the price

Seems like a lot of trouble when you could have just pulled up ABRP and checked from home. Real world tests are useful but no big shock here.

I'm about to take a trip from Atlanta to eastern NC. Restrooms are my biggest concern. It looks like larger gas stations that cater to trucks have restrooms open such as Pilot / Flying J / Loves. Any other experiences?

I just assumed it used the front facing cameras. Is there an additional rain sensor?

I set my car to 50% once I started WFH a few weeks ago. There’s nowhere I need to go that would require more charge or need to leave more quickly than it’d take to get to 100%

Had an 8am appointment today at the Roswell / Alpharetta location in Atlanta - was in my car by 11am. Only thing done was HW3 - the guy that gave me back my keycard remarked that they are getting much faster - first one was over 5 hours.

I've used it less than 5 times where it legitimately helped due to rain and more than 10 as a parlor trick

My car is in for some warranty work and they included HW3 as a part of the paperwork. They texted me earlier today saying they can’t install yet but will schedule it for a few weeks from now when I go in to pick it up tomorrow or Thursday.

It is just about impossible that the output of the wireless charger is higher coming from a power bank vs via the Tesla USB ports. Where did you get that info? I just went to Jeda’s website to see the specs to confirm - unfortunately they aren’t on there.

I'm curious why you would want to do this? What's the benefit? Worried about the jeda charger draining your car's battery enough to affect anything?

iPhones only captures GPS at 1hz which means once per second - you shouldn't waste your time on this

I don’t think I’ve ever moved AP over the 3 setting. It stays on 1 for daily commuting for me. I do like the idea of having the car select a distance maximized for regen for long trips though.

All kinds of ridiculous in this one. Your wife took the ‘baby’ out of their car seat or unbuckled them? Either way - just leave the kid buckled and problem solved. ‘Bug’ averted. If their legs are long enough to open the door then they are forward-facing and hardly a baby and should understand...

I’ve only had this happen when I’m on a HD channel other than the primary one. One of my favorite stations is on HD-2 and there have been times when I get back in the car and it’s no longer on that channel. I’ve never noticed it when on a normal FM or HD-1 channel.

Thanks guys. She’s stable and recovering through physical therapy.

Post needs video

I found myself in Wilson, NC yesterday because my grandmother had a stroke and drove up from Atlanta unexpectedly. The last supercharger I hit was in Fayetteville, NC which is about ~30% away from Wilson. Due to a number of errands and running around, my SOC slowly depleted throughout the day. I...

Cruise control not available

This happened to me on the way home last night. I went to turn on autopilot and it told me cruise not available. I did see the lane lines on the screen but the speed limit indicating what speed would be set if I enabled cruise and the steering wheel were both gone on a part of the road that...

I’ve never been asked to turn it off but whenever I open the app while the car is with Service it shows ‘in service’.

Various regions have different range tests that by law they have to be posted based on those standards. Very googleable. One example How To Calculate Conflicting EV Range Test Cycles: EPA, WLTP, NEDC

Added a grill to my Model 3

Summon will make small adjustments left and right to avoid obstacles or center itself

I've got a current model S 75d loaner while an issue with some panels knocking against each other is being fixed on my 3. Some big pros are it's quite a bit quieter on the highway / noticeably more comfortable suspension / better door handle situation. Overall not worth the price premium over...

I see lots of hope here

Mistake

Wikipedia has the stats

Unless you need to be at 100% you shouldn't charge to it. Even then - you shouldn't leave the car at 100% and time charging to reach 100% right before you need it. There are numerous battery threads on here already.

This is posted at various places - first one I saw on Google Tesla Model 3 Gets Dyno-Tested At Various Battery SOC Also here: Model 3 AWD extended vs. performance

I’ve noticed a few times where I connect to my home WiFi and then the next day or two it shows WiFi turned off until I manually connect.

It sounds like you didn’t have LiPo batteries in your RC car which is the norm. For normal use cases you won’t see a difference at 10% and 90% There is a picture of a dyno posted on here that shows pulls at various SoC levels and the lower the SoC the lower the power but fairly negligible...

I’m surprised so many people are in favor of a key fob. With my model 3, I now no longer carry keys anywhere. I use August smart locks at home / have a keypad for my garage. I keep my wife’s minivan key at home near the door for when I drive everyone around on the weekend. On the rare occasion...

Manual actually says yes https://www.tesla.com/content/dam/tesla/Ownership/Own/Model%203%20Owners%20Manual.pdf

You can stop the video and it says 4.2 seconds when it looks like the speedometer says 62mph. How legit is this?

Want: Lightning Have: Micro USB in Atlanta (dunwoody) but can ship

They will require you to pay via ACH before inspecting the car. You can still refuse delivery afterwards but you won’t get far unless you have the VIN and just go to the lot to find it and do an ad-hoc inspection.

I used TE for my wall connector install and they did a great job - reasonably priced as well. Joaquin did the install and had a helper but never met the helper.

Easy pickup process. In and out in ~20. There was literally nobody there but me picking up. Wish I would have just gone a day early and asked nicely now but oh well.

nope....DSA called me back on Friday and told me pickup on Tuesday due to some scheduling mishap....still waiting

Pickup on Saturday.

Update for me is that things seem to be moving slower than anticipated. I assume the delivery specialists are incredibly busy because there haven't been any delays on my side. The only issue that I ran into along the way so far was the trade-in site asked me to upload a picture of the...

Was contacted today by a delivery specialist for the first time. Was a bit shocked when they said my car was arriving in Decatur today (AWD non-P - details posted on page 1) and this was the first contact. I filled out the trade-in info a few hours after I got the call and now waiting for them...
