I found a lead on a model y steering wheel at an auto wrecker. I'm wondering if it would fit my 2018 model 3, and if so would the heated steering wheel function work? I think there is a wiring harness, etc needed but I might even be able to pull that out of the wrecked Y. My gut says no go, but...

Anyone tried stacking premium connectivity using referral points? You can basically get 4 years worth for 10k points, assuming you buy 4x in a row. Considering doing it but not sure if you can buy multiple years or only 1 at a time. Also, does the sentry mode remote viewing option work in...

Been a while since I was on here...really haven't had much to post. But today saw an article that I really hope is true. https://driveteslacanada.ca/model-3/extra-bonus-coming-to-tesla-model-3-y-owners-with-acceleration-boost/ For those of us that bought the acceleration boost, track mode may...

I bought a chademo adaptor, but in 3 years I've maybe used it 5 times. Thinking to see if it's worth selling or just keep for a rainy day. I still have the original box. Purchased from Tesla Oakville. I paid $600 CAD plus tax when I bought it. I'm in Burlington, Ontario, but work in Mississauga...

Not only do our cars get better with software updates, I just discovered there is a super secret method to actually put GAS into my model 3! This is what happens when there is a snow storm and you ran out of gas on the snowblower. It was fun to watch people look confused when I pulled up the...

After just over 2 years of ownership I finally plugged in with the right remaining range to unlock the back to the future Easter egg. I actually didn't even realize I was at the right number until I checked the app. Screenshots below, so many references here to make your inner child smile...

Maybe this was already noticed, but for some reason I was looking though used inventory and noticed pretty much every 2018 (rwd, AWD, PAWD) include FSD. Seems like an incentive to move them. A couple days ago there was a 2018 performance with 20" wheels on there with FSD for 68k and 30k km which...

Maybe it's just me, but I swear in the past month or so my model 3 trunk has gotten really stiff to close. It's not like it would drop under gravity before, but a slight push would get it down. Now I basically have to force it all the way. Anyone else noticed this? I'm thinking the shocks are...

Hope this is true, and comes out soon: Tesla leaks 'Acceleration Boost' upgrade - Electrek Xmas gift (you have to pay for) from Elon for my AWD and PAWS brothers and sisters :cool: Checked my account and I see the option to buy for 2700 CAD.....oh what to do????? :eek::eek::eek:

I have 2 model S radio flyer, one red and one grey for sale. After much internal debate I've decided it's not worth keeping them for my kids as they are too young. Perfect xmas gift. Brand new in box. Both with standard battery and black wheels. If you want to pay for shipping I'll do it, but...

Total click bait title, but I couldn't resist :p I've come across a few model 3 hot wheels cars in the wild (I totally buy them for my son, not for me :rolleyes:). It always bothered me how the white one comes with white interior and the red comes with black. Also the red has nicer wheels...

As the title says. I'm probably going to order one of these, and maybe if we bundle a couple together we can save on shipping and get a further discount. I've emailed the company to ask what sort of discount there would be at a certain order number. Geotab HRN-CT20T1 Poll below to gauge...

...I wish the model 3 had a heated steering wheel :(

This may have already been a part of a previous update, but I noticed a few days ago that you can zoom and change the perspective on the overhead view of the car on the centre console. It resets after a little while, but kind of neat that you can do it, as it lets you see more of the cars in...

Found a fun Monty Python Easter egg today in V10: Name your car 'patsy' and the bug month python foot stomps down in the screen with a fart noise. You also get a new Monty Python icon show up in the entertainment tab, which brings you to a YouTube selection of month python vids...including a...

I noticed a month or so ago that I am getting Regen dots again when charging to 90%. Oddly enough they stay for quite a while, down to around 420km and it's not temp or tire related since it's still very warm and I've changed nothing on the tires. Curious if others are seeing the same? I assume...

With the recent announcement of a firmware update dropping soon to support the chademo adapter, I'm curious how many people are considering buying one. The supercharger network isn't covering all of Canada currently, so I'm curious if there will be a bigger uptake in certain regions, ie...

So on the stretch of the HOV lane on the 403 in Burlington Oakville navigate on autopilot constantly wants to take me out of the HOV lane and put me into bumper to bumper traffic. I think it's because the maps don't properly tag this as being an HOV lane and thinks I'm in the passing lane and it...

So, this is more of an annoyance I have been dealing with more and more it seems with later updates: Often the side mirrors end up in wacky positions. Most of the time its when switching from reverse to drive, they dont return from the downward tilted position. Its hit and miss, and sometimes...

This is something I've definitely been waiting for. How about others? Tesla Will Offer CHAdeMO Adapter For US Model 3 Owners "Soon" | CleanTechnica I'm hoping this isn't going to be US only for the first few months like many other Tesla software features :)

When is Tesla planning to announce the "Model L" (Lawnmower)? Happy Cinco de Mayo ;)

I wonder why the make and model of the car that caught fire in my hometown wasn't listed :rolleyes:. I wonder if it was an EV or ICE car...any guesses? o_O Colour me shocked that I don't see a tonne of articles talking about how 'unsafe' ICE cars are due to the fires they cause :confused...

So I parked tonight at a public charger with 98km of range and despite being plugged in the car wouldn't let me enable Sentry mode...wtf? I'm plugged in, so it shouldn't lock me out. Luckily at around 103km the battery turned green and I could turn it on, but that's crazy. You also can't remote...

So, I definitely engage sentry mode when I'm stopping at the grocery store or some other public place (especially when charging publicly since sentry mode while charging doesn't reduce the charge rate/speed). But I have stopped using it at work because: 1. I park at the rear of the lot 2. In...

Had a new thing happen today, not sure if its happened to others before: Just after dropping my kid off at daycare and about to get on the hwy to go to work, and all of a sudden got a crackle coming from the audio system and the screen went dark. My initial thought was the car went dead, but I...

Tesla Model S, X with "Hardware 3" for Full Self-Driving now in production, inventory codes indicate Being included in S and X new builds. Can't be long before the 3 gets included (?) and then upgrades for those that have FSD (??) It's getting real now folks :)

Interesting release about V3, I'm curious if people are excited about this? I added a poll for fun. https://www.tesla.com/en_CA/blog/introducing-v3-supercharging?redirect=no I guess it depends on how often you use SC. Personally, I don't because my 3 didn't come with any (bought before they...

A buddy sent me this. I'm still chuckling....sorry for the clickbait, and it's non tesla...but I don't lurk on the GM forums any more and it's in Pembroke, so belongs in the Canada section. Any takers? I'm highly dubious about the claim of being able to generate 2kw while stationary and moving...

So, while driving home stuck in traffic tonight on EAP (which is awesome for stop and go) I had a fun thought: What if I rolled the window down and did a ninja dive out of the car without opening the door and then jogged beside the car for a while? Not that I would seriously do this, but...

So last night I left my car charging in a public lot while visiting some friends. It was cold out (-18C), and even earlier in the day when leaving work I got the 'battery warming' message, and had no regen since the car cold soaked all day. Anywho...when I got into my car just before midnight...

Just installed it, but release notes are no different from before. Anyone else have it and know what is different?

Out of all the many many things I love about my model 3, the choices made on Regen in cold weather still confuse me relative to all the other EVs I've owned. Aside from the tire related Regen reduction which is well documented: my car basically always has over half the Regen bar full of dots...

Is it just me, or is the Phantom drain significantly improved in 46.2 on the model 3? I've only paid attention the last two nights, but on both I only lost 1km of rated range from ~9pm - 7am. Previously I have lost 3-4x that while parked in my garage.

Started a few mins aago. Whos taking bets for NAV on autopilot?

I needed to post that before @Tony_YYZ beat everyone to it :p Have no idea what is included yet. I was on 44.1 :oops:

So one thing I'm increasingly a bit dissatisfied with is some of the cold weather quirks with the model 3 that I haven't experienced with other EVs. Most are not even worth griping about publicly, but tonight a perplexing one happened. I basically charged for 5.5 hours at 30A/240V in the cold...

So I mentioned this change I noticed in 42.3 vs 39.7 in a previous thread, but now had a chance to pull some dashcam footage from the model 3 showing the concern. Unfortunately my widefield dashcam died and I'm waiting for a replacement so I only have the zoomed in tesla cam, but it still shows...

This morning I was parked on the top level of a parking garage, and driving down I used mostly Regen and got the best efficiency I think I will ever see in my model 3 :rolleyes: Converted to the 75 kwh battery capacity, that means I should get 2,344 km to a full charge :eek:

Next time someone tells you that your EV will explode and consume you in flames due to the 'dangerous' battery running it, remember this story: Fire destroys hundreds of Maseratis headed to Middle East Unfortunate to see such beautiful cars destroyed, but apparently sea salt + exposed...

Not sure if these are exclusive to v9, or even the model 3, but I found 2 pretty fun things out this morning on the 3: If you are like me, you are annoyed that there isn't a way to run 'fan only' in the model 3 and avoid heat from coming on when you want to maximize range (This is kind of...

I'm pretty sure I've lost my house keys. I completely blame the model 3 for this since I now no longer need a key to drive the car. :rolleyes: I was frequently forgetting my keys at home or in my desk at work and now I can't find them. :oops: Anybody else have this happen to them?

Tesla launches new Model 3 with ‘mid-range’ battery for $45,000, changes pricing structure Interesting....now LR is AWD only, and the mid range battery pack is RWD only.... The release from Tesla says it's for Canada and USA, but the Canadian model 3 page doest have the mid range option yet...

So, I formatted a usb stick today to compare some images/quality/FOV (field of view) with the V9 dashcam and the one I have been using for a few years now the mini 805. Mini 0805 | DashCamTalk My initial thoughts were that the V9 camera was not very good, but upon further side by side review I...

So, the centre caps that came with my new rims aren't my favorite. They have the logo of the rim mfg on them and I don't like them. So, I'm going to spray them and am looking for opinions on what people think. As a refresher here is what they look like with the red caliper paint from Spence...

So just under 1000km, and didn't do the ppf or ceramic coating yet because of a rear bumper paint defect that is waiting until Oct 22nd to get repaired.....and of course today I noticed a fairly substantial stone chip in the front bumper right down to the plastic, about 5x5mm :( Are there any...

I keep going back and forth, so decided to ask others opinions. I'm thinking of not tinting the back window at all because I would do the full window (half looks strange from inside the car IMO), but I also don't want to darken the overhead portion and the part that isn't factory tinted is...

Got this notification on my tesla app today a few hours ago. Went to car a few min ago but no download/install notification. I'm assuming everyone got the same message on their app...anyone get the v9 install start notification yet?

So my mom texted me earlier today and told me today is national name your car day. Seems appropriate since I haven't come up with a name yet. I'm assuming others are in the same boat....so, I'm going to name it today. Never 'named' a car before, so this is uncharted territory for me. I found...

So I've noticed this morning that there is a potential design flaw with the model 3 trunk, in that after it rains and has water on in when you open the trunk virtually all that water slides off the trunk lid, and a large majority of it drops right into the trunk area inside the car...fun. It...

Have only android phones in our family, so if anyone wants to trade their android cable for the iphone one let me know. I'm in Burlington, work in Mississauga. Can meet up in the general vicinity.
