You might want to look at the little screen on your heat control display for an error. You may have a warning there, you can mention that to service when you open the appointment.

That means you get free lifetime Premium Connectivity, due to the car being a 2018 model from when they gave that away for free. Since you are in Canada that is an incredible deal considering the cost of cell service here. Even the subscription fee is a steal but free is always better :)

I have an old 2018 RWD LR using hw 2.5, I parked for a week on software 2023.20.7 and minimal change in SOC when I got back. So that hardware seems ok.

I had a quote from Tesla recently, service forwarded me to the Tesla Collision centre and the cost nearly doubled since the last time I had the window replaced in 2021.

I had the brakes checked at 80K KM (About 50K miles) since I noticed the front rotors were always really rusty. Braking seemed ok mind you. Tesla sent this "The technician is recommending to replace the front pads and rotors due to the condition they are in. Your rotors are rotted and we would...

I had a relative put wd40 on the rotors because they didn't like it rusting after being in the rain :oops: Needless to say that required a trip down to the shop.

One thing I would suggest is brake service, since they should be lubricated at regular intervals.

Call for mobile service, explain the stalk is flakey and doesn't always register an input properly. I had mine replaced due to this, left turns only. It's a quick swap. Problem solved after that. If you can video it even better when you set up the service call. Invoice says "Replaced SCCM".

The car will calculate the charging sessions to be as short as possible for you to make your trip, so will not charge to a high percentage. As you see with the final charge percentage it will assume you can charge at your final stop. Let the car tell you when/where to charge, don't try to...

Yes Canada side. Supercharger are no problem there is a 250KW charger in Niagara Falls right off the highway about 9 miles away. There are also superchargers in the "golden horseshoe", in case you are making a trip to Toronto and need a top up, although you could easily make that trip from your...

It turning off obstacle aware acceleration doesn't help, I am on a LR RWD so it is a slightly different scenario but on my summer tires on a cool morning (say 7-10C) and I "floor it" I often lose traction momentarily, the traction control kicks in and nerfs the power for perhaps 2 seconds before...

I did find this article Tesla Vehicles Automatically Open Windows & Doors When Submerged Under Water - CleanTechnica

I believe the reaso I believe the reason a manual override doesn't exist on the back doors is child safety. Same reason the back windows can only be lowered partially.

I can supply a data point for you, I had the PTC fail in the spring on my 2018 LR RWD. The only way I could get heat is if I set it to max heat/defrost. As soon as I set it to temperature keeping where it would need to cycle it would fail until my next drive. You might want to try MAX heat and...

I feel for you. Many years ago I was rear ended on the highway at 2am by someone who fell asleep. For the next year I was paranoid every time I saw a car approaching me from behind. What made it worse was my car was totaled because it was older. But it was in really good shape for its age...

Since you are in the US this is fine, connect the car to your phones hotspot and you don't lose anything. Those of us in Canada with its super high data costs for cell service makes premium connectivity a really good deal unless you hardly do any streaming at all.

I had this happen on my 2018, and a ranger came and swapped the unit. In my case it was only on the passenger side. After it was removed you can see the amount of water that accumulated.

Funny you bring this up, I have never experienced a Plaid (yet, fastest I have gone is Ludicrous speed) but the family and I were at Universal last week, and we rode on Velocicoaster and The Hulk. Velocicoaster is 2.0 seconds 0-50mph, so a bit "slower" than Plaid, Hulk is even "slower" (0-40mph...

I don't think you have level 3 chargers set to display, try clicking the three lightning bolts to enable it.

Mobile service should be able to replace this, I had my charge port replaced this way due to a similar issue, replaced under warranty. Note if you find it won't open and you want to charge you can gently "help" it open until you get it fixed. It does make a lot of noise but doesn't seem to hurt it.

You have everything you need. You need to pull the 50A 220V plug out of the mobile charger and plug in the 120V plug. These plugs are interchangeable. Then you can plug in the 120V Plug into the wall, and the tesla end into the car. All set!

Can you post a picture of the charging accessories you have? With that we can figure out what you have. I have attached a picture of what you should have been given.

If you are like me, the most important response you can have about this is that you charge overnight when there is no stress on the grid and in all honesty it is useful for someone to be using the electricity. Where I am from we have an over abundance at night and the local hydro company often...

There is definitely something wrong there, here is a picture of my battery which was taken when the car and battery were over 3 years old and ~45000km/27k miles.

No it doesn't unfortunately. But EVSEadapters does sell a CCS 1.0 adaptor which is compatible from what I can tell. CCS1 Tesla Adapter but it is pricey and I don't think it would arrive in time for this trip.

Thanks I will investigate that, although there don't appear to be any clubs in my area the Ontario Tesla Club is GTA (Toronto area) based so it is reachable by me. I will reach out to them about it.

I am doing my first serious road trip later this month, an ~1000mi / 1600km trip to Nova Scotia from the Niagara region for a week. For the nearly 4 years I have had the car (Model 3 LR RWD) I have not gone further than what I can make on a single charge. One thing I notice about Nova Scotia...

I had a fault with the PTC recently as well (2018 LR RWD), but I am still in warranty so it was no cost. In my case the car did not shut down, I would only get heat for a minute or so and then it would stop for the rest of the drive. From what I understand the PTC heater is attached to the high...

If anything good can be taken from this is that the car did not catch fire and the driver was not killed, even though the car was quite damaged and hit at a speedy velocity. Thus that approach of FUD couldn't be used.

I don't know if this can help you, but Tesla did this for me.

The blinker seems to have 3 modes of operation, even though the manual only suggests two: Quick press to first detent gives you 3 blinks for a lane change. Long press to first detent gives you blinks until you release. Press hard to second detent gives you permanent flashing until you turn...

Perhaps browse Tesla's used car section and look for something similar. Since your mileage is somewhat high it is hard to get an exact match, although I did find this listing. This listing has full self driving, but otherwise the mileage is close. The amount you should aim to get from...

If you are going to run the pins, try this list first! Likely car pin frequencies are similar to ATM pins. Do these and you are at 25% chance. After that you should do 1900-2022 since birth years are common.

When I had a mobile service appointment I had the appointment moved twice, first time was the day before the appointment and the second time was 2 days before the appointment. Might be a function of the service center they are dispatched from, because there are good service centers and there are...

I had the same issue, luckily you can find most AM stations on Tune In, which is included with the car. One advantage is better quality than AM over the air, disadvantage is if you are driving where there is no cell signal it won't work (and premium connectivity or Wifi of course).

As far as the temperature reading goes, if the car is sitting out in the sun it will pick up a fair bit of heat in the interior. The glass roof allows a lot of sun into the car. Which is welcome in the cold months, but not so nice in July. For example my car is reading +32C inside and +5C...

Summon Tesla roadside assistance in the app. How old is the car? It certainly sounds like the 12V battery needs replacing, which will be covered under warranty.

Could be wiping the brakes. I hear that during cold wet/snowy weather in particular. Braking and Stopping Model 3 - Tesla

I also cannot see it due to my hand. I think I would rather the the map area to be used for the turn signal camera display (centered vertically, fit to width), so it would be larger as well.

It seems that 2021.44.5 fixes the issue. I no longer have to quick draw the charger cable!

Sounds like a nice FUD/sensationalist story to me, the phone key still worked, servers aren't needed. The servers are only used for remote control of the car, so you could unlock/start your car from somewhere else (presumably for another person to use it, a rare use case I would think). But...

There seems to be a similar discussion here with a resolution: Password card lost

I would love to install a flux capacitor and go back to those days, trounce the friends/frenemys in that hot rod group (especially that smug corvette C4 owner) and then open the frunk to show.... nothing.. :)

From the description I thought the car was totally dead, you are at least in a better spot then. That is interesting, does the screen show a good data connection LTE or Wifi? Once that is up I would expect they would have at least some remote access to the car. As far as getting the main...

You are going to need to get the 12V system up so that the computers are working. The manual will show you how to get the frunk open on page 17. Then you will need to get the 12V battery under the cover charged or replaced (since sitting dead for a long time most likely has killed it). You...

Wow! Glad everyone is ok! That is definitely a write-off. I have seen cars that have what looks like a deep scratch get written off, this is way over that.

You know you might be on to something. I just received 2021.24.5 and probably wouldn't have noticed it if you didn't post this, but it seem the high pitched whine is nearly gone on my 2018 LR RWD too. Only at low levels of regen can I just barely hear it. I always thought it was coming through...

What year is your model 3? I know early models had a clip that would rub and cause a squeak at low speeds, service will fix that.

Is the gap on the other sides different? I have attached a picture of the same area on my car (2018 build date). The gap is the same on all sides.

I have a LR RWD from 2018, and I drove it last winter on winter tires. I would suggest you get a dedicated set of winter wheels and tires. Makes the switchover much easier and also keeps the summer rims in nice shape. Although the stock tires aren't bad, stopping and general traction is...
