Hasn’t changed much unfortunately

Yikes , I guess that friend of mine has a “good deal” at 2100$.

Question for fellow Canadians: A friend just got a 500$ increase year over year for his model 3 performance - no speedings or accidents, no teen drivers. He’s now looking at over 2k . Being that he’s a good driver in his 50s it seems quite high. Is there something about the Canadian market that...

This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing 18” Model 3 OEM rims. Please add to the discussion here.

Seems like a common thing in those years. 300 CAD in 2022 (200$ part, 100$ labour)

I have a 2018 and on best of days 250-270 but I don’t know many that actually do 100% to 0… Don’t get me wrong, they’re great cars still (they charge fast (which many forget when recommending short range versions). Plan on 120-180 between charging stops depending on how deep you charge.

That’s good to know because I intend and changing the battery when it fails. Good to know they likely wouldn’t take away supercharging bc of random reasoning.

Thanks for the note @schrodarkian. Just happened to me as well and I have to say, I’m surprised it’s a thing that happens without signs of something brewing (could be dangerous in extreme temperatures). Would you mind my asking what kind of mileage and charging habits ? I’m a little over 68k...

I think you’re right, the instructions don’t mention battery removal. I’m hoping they consider the contactors an integral part of the HV battery and under powertrain warranty.

For those interested , this looks to be the procedure (removal of the HV battery is required). I guess that explains the 700$ ish price (not counting the 300$ towing) - 2h job, 1h diag. , 100$ part

I would but I don’t want to mess with charging outside Tesla - don’t want them to take away free supercharging. I’ll probably just sell the spare adapter if they won’t credit the price of the adapter.

Good to know , thank you.

Has anyone gotten the CCS upgrade only (no adapter)? I already have a Tesla CCS adapter (a friend bought it for me when they first released it).

True, that should be well below any thresholds. I can see that mine would go but your usage seems quite typical and 15k miles is barely broken in…

as of today

Yeah , seriously , I’m about to recommend friends do it preemptively if the drive much in real winter temperatures - could be a hazard. Mind my asking what mileage you had and supercharging frequency ? I’m at 68k miles and 90% supercharging . Maybe it’s just wear and tear ?

Just had this happen to me on a road trip - sure seems like HV contactors (L2 works at service center where I was towed ). Sure changes a trip outlook fast … good thing it wasn’t winter. I’d hate to have this happen at -20.

Yes and Parish to Kemptville is tight as well (it’ll be nice to have the option to skip Watertown - in winter it can be tight when choosing Parish as last US stop).

Great to see that install, kemptville is a bit of a stretch in winter without a heat pump. I wonder how long before it’s online, doesn’t look like cars are parking in front of those stalls just yet.

Wondering if anyone has had a good experience with other usb hubs in cold weather. The Jeda hub has been ok for a few years and the hidden compartment is a nice feature but recently started having issues in cold weather where usb storage can’t be detected (removing the hub resolves the issue)...

The spiral technique ! Next update in Jan for mid Feb..

24 days left 🤞

Finally in the app

That’s what I’m wondering about. I’ve had FSD/EAP react to lane intrusion or close call at getting side swiped and while I’d miss the convenience of automatic lane change , FSD’s general awareness of what’s around the vehicle I’d be more disappointed in losing. So it sounds like standard AP...

In discussing the current supercharging transfer offer with a colleague, I was wondering if simple AP would be noticeably different (I’d lose FSD in the process). This colleague was of the opinion that basic AP doesn’t use side cameras as EAP and FSD do. Does anyone know if this is accurate ...

Interesting. It used to say “mid 2023”. That means they’ve revised the text and still gauging it’ll be in the next 2 months. Cautiously a optimistic 🤞

Yeah , ideally it’d be a ccs retrofit but if not I’ll hunt down a chademo adapter.

Glad you pointed out the type2 bit. Sounds like I’m better off hunting down a second hand adapter.

To add to the mix, older Teslas that don’t have CCS charging built-in will have another reason to be calling providers. Hopefully, opening of the supercharger network will motivate other networks to put in some effort.

I should have been more precise. Tesla has had “mid 2023” on their website for some time now. I’m assuming we’ll get it in mid or late 2024 so in the meantime chademo will have to do for remote locations.

Thanks. I thought I had read they didn’t sell it anymore as well but then I stumbled on this. If I’m logged-in to my account the web page sends me to the Tesla app’s shop and then (I presume because they deem it not compatible with model 3/y the app reverts to the Tesla shop landing page). If I...

Seeing as Tesla seems to have dropped the idea of retrofitting model 3 and Y for CCS, I’m begrudgingly looking for a chademo adapter as I’m heading to area without superchargers but it seems Tesla states the one they sell won’t work for model 3 (pulling up the product page does the same redirect...

Thanks. Hopefully with equipment suppliers starting to support NACS it’ll help move the retrofit along :)

Is anyone aware if the retrofit is needed to use upcoming non-Tesla NACS stations ? I don’t mean those with a chademo adapter embedded in them but actual NACS. I’m assuming those will “speak” CCS rather than proprietary Tesla protocol ?

Anyone that visited lately ? V3 would help come holiday travel season.

Well, if we adjust for Elon time we should have the CCS retrofit when the roadster deliveries start :)

That or they’re using suppliers to produce adapters for Ford, GM etc instead of circuits to retrofit Tesla owners (the former drives revenue while the latter allows Tesla owners to use an alternate network).

makes me wonder about this roadtrip super charging strategy of low SOC arrivals (5-10 %) . If those lower SOC arrivals are harsh on the battery, it doesn’t seem worth the faster travel.

Thanks for the detailed response. It sounds like you’re saying that 1500 cycles we hear refers to partial cycles and those cells really only withstand 750 FCE ? Or do you mean that discharging from a lower SOC is less hard on a pack even when the total kWh used is the same (2x 50-0 vs 1x 100-0)...

I’m with you on that. It seems like replacement at 150k miles is a little premature if we reverse the calc (that would 500 cycles) . I’m wondering what others are seeing, maybe it’s just a one-off lemon of a battery - otherwise I’d be a little squirrelly about what’s in store in a few years…

Has anyone come across stats on the usual mileage for battery replacement on model 3s? A recent post got me wondering if that 1500 cycle figure is right (this person needs a replacement at 150k).

What you’re saying makes sense I suppose. The cynic in me can’t shake the idea that it’s a bit of a customer “tier” type of thing. People are going the DIY route so seemingly all that’s needed is more ECUs to be produced and a wiring harness ? Hopefully it’s just around the corner , heading on...

Still no traction as of July 28th. I’m guessing they’re keeping production capacity to ramp up NACS adapter production for GM and Ford (that will drive income whereas CCS retrofit is just a matter of doing the right thing for Tesla owners)

Tried an again and rejected once again . Are you referring to model S or X maybe ? If there’s a service center doing 3s out there I’m willing to travel :)

🙂

2023.7.20 still often not turning on for some reason despite interior reaching 50C . Anyone else also seeing this ?

Has anyone gotten traction in getting a service center to retrofit a model 3 ? We’re taking a road trip off the beaten path late summer and having ccs would be a great fallback . As of June I was still being told they didn’t know when …

I agree , same experience here . I often have to intervene for one extreme or another . I wish I could contradict while remaining honest but alas…

Does anyone know what 2023.12.11 is ? Seems newer than 11.4.x yet is labeled 11.3.6 …
