    How can I escalate my issue to Tesla support?

    Can't confirm this. I have a regular and trustworthy contact to our service center here in Switzerland. Couldn't be better.

    Model 3 Rear Ended: Repair Journey

    Any news here, looks like the thread just stopped. How much did you pay in the end? How much work had to be done? What did they have to paint? Thank you!

    Model 3: Three phase charging too sensitive to voltage drops?

    Thank you for all your answers!! I will definitely check this with an electrician. I did not notice any heat at the plug/socket. The car always shows the max current set at the wallbox, not below (I.e, 4/8 A if I have the box at 8 A and the car takes 4), so it looks like it is not the box...

    Model 3: Three phase charging too sensitive to voltage drops?

    Dear all After we do not get clear answers in the German TFF forum I would like the following question to be discussed in this international forum. Many new European owners experience severe troubles when charging their Model 3 with three phase ac power. Including me. Power is reduced from the...

    Supercharger "pirate adapters"?

    The question goes the other way round: Tesla once offered their Superchargers to other brands. Nobody was interested. But: What about building an adapter that officially supports Tesla supercharging for other brands? Ask Tesla for access, pay an access fee, have the customer pay the access fee...

    EU Model 3: AC charging speed?

    Distribution of one 32 A phase to three 32 A phases cannot be done without an incredible amount of tech. This would not fit into an UMC case. (You cannot just sync all three phases, they have to be rotated 120 degrees). Ok maybe, it they have specifically prepared the car for this special...

    EU Model 3: AC charging speed?

    This seems very unlikely to me. Not even Model S and X support it, and you hardly see 32 A single phase connectors, at least here in Switzerland.

    EU Model 3: AC charging speed?

    If you consider that in Europe the vast majority of Type 2 charging points delivers 22 kW, and if you take the position of someone who cannot charge at home and has to use every opportunity he can get to top up I would not say 11 kW makes perfect sense. It is much more a missed opportunity to...

    EU Model 3: AC charging speed?

    Ok thanks, this is finally a clear answer. (A pity, though...)

    EU Model 3: AC charging speed?

    Thank you for your answer. Did you test this or do you have a reliable source (not:Tesla employees)? There are various sources that say 16.5 kW. That is why I ask.

    EU Model 3: AC charging speed?

    Would anyone of the new European Model 3 owners mind doing a quick test, please? (Or are all of you busy grinning behind the wheel? ;) ) Thank you very much!

    European Model 3 owners: How do you like the vehicle so far?

    Yes. There was at least ohne guy on Twitter who posted a picture of his new Model 3.

    European Model 3 owners: How do you like the vehicle so far?

    And, again the question: How fast does it charge on an Type 2 22 kW AC charger?

    EU Model 3: AC charging speed?

    Now as we know CCS speed is at 117 kW (see other threads), could please someone try a 22 kW Type 2 AC charger and tell us how fast the EU Model 3 charges there? Some rumors say 11 kW, some 16.5 kW. For people without their own charging infrastructure this could make an important difference...

    My Tesla app must be open for phone key to work?

    Make sure you don’t restart your phone before trying (restart also happens if the phone is completely switched off and on again manually or the battery is empty and you plug the phone in to recharge - just that we all talk about the same here...). Bluetooth apps like the Tesla app seem to be...

    What do you think 2019 holds for the Model 3?

    We are eagerly waiting for the premium versions here in Europe, and so are the Asians. Don’t forget that the U. S. market is only a tiny part of the world market and the Model 3 is as exciting to us as it was for you (ok, except for the Germans, they will still believe the i3 is better, because...

    Picked up mine today...

    Dunno how natural wood treatment products will survive 80 degrees Celsius in a car at the sun... I would be careful.

    Thumping sound from floor (battery?) when supercharging

    This is probably the same issue as discussed here: Banging/clunking sound when driving over mountains in cold weather

    Morning Phone Key Connectivity Issues

    Do you switch your phone off during the night? Or does it run out of juice in the evening regularly and you have to recharge? Might be the reason because the app is not running any more after a reboot.

    What's the ideal wheel size you want for your Model 3

    I decided to go for the 18“ aeros because of the much lower noise level (there is a Youtube video with a comparison between the 18 and 19“ wheels out there which shows quite a difference). I‘ll see if they fit my blue model 3 (to be honest, I have my doubts). If not I will have the aero caps...

    Weird phone as key issues. Confirm my observations?

    Question: Will rebooting the phone break the key, so you have to restart the app manually? Might be an issue you don’t think of if you have run out of phone juice through the day and recharged later.

    Model 3 Colored Aero Wheels Vinyl Wrap Kits?

    I ordered Aeros and intended to see if I can have them changed to silver (don’t like then in black on the blue car, but I want the comfort and silence and efficiency of the 18“ wheels). But a matching blue might indeed be an option, too. thank you for the pics.

    Suggestion for Improved Windshield Wiper Interface

    Why not take the wiper control to a scroll wheel? Trigger a first wipe with the stalk and bring up wiper settings, or bring up wiper settings with the stalk if wipers are already running, then change wiper speed/auto sensitivity with the wheel (off, intermittent, slow, medium, fast if on...

    What percentage of model 3’s will be shipped to Europe starting January.

    It‘s 7000 per week at the Moment, not per month, and production numbers are still rising. So it very well possible that there will not be a cliff as high as you expect.

    CCS Charging up to 175 kW?!?

    And it looks like this was the limit of the charger, and not the car?

    CCS Charging up to 175 kW?!?

    Listen to this: , 1:55 175 kW charging on CCS? Would be awesome. Can anyone confirm this number?

    European pricing and configurator now live

    Anyone in Europe able to use the app after ordering? Does not work for me. „No vehicle connected to account.“ Is this normal? How long does it take for the car to pop up in the app?

    European pricing and configurator now live

    I was not able to use a referral code. When clicking on the link it only showed Model s and x. However it says you can enter a referral code in the app. I cannot log into the app yet, it says there is no vehicle connected.

    European pricing and configurator now live

    Just ordered in Switzerland. Reservation dated of April 3, 2016, I am no Tesla employee, this is my first Tesla. That was quick. BTW: I found the configurator open when I refreshed the webpage. I did not get an email invitation before.

    Protect your public accessible charger?

    I've had a publicly accessible Charger for five years now (Type 2, 22 kW). In the center of Zürich, Switzerland. It never happened. And if yes it cost me a few cents. So the costs to protect your charger will be higher than anything you will ever lose...
