I had not paid attention enough, third thought LOL. If it wouldn't be dielectric grease, the car wouldn't have charged or would have probably give errors. Again, the electrician must be to blame. Thank Genie to like my replies, please like this one too :p I keep coming back hoping to read...

@op second thought, could it be your electrician that added the grease? If so, well done and keep that electrician in your contacts!

Could it just be dielectric grease (silicone?) to prevent rust? Is the grease inside the female connector or just on the surface? If inside, I vote dielectric grease.

Someone from @Tesla must have read my last message... currently downloading 2023.44.30.5.1 {no typo here}. Release notes says... "Minor Fixes", I guess this mean my car won't suddenly accelerate for the next 24 hours :p

I'm storing my car soon for winter, premium ended the day before and the upgrade option vanished on the next day. Never did I question myself if it could be related to the premium cancellation ;) and glad that it's not the case. Unless @Tesla delivers my Xmas gift, the count just dropped to 0...

Too many were complaining, so they moved the antenna to the other side. Are you able to upload those diagram? rhs .. right hand side?? Wish OP could have option to edit with "actual" facts.

You Anyone happen to have a link to a picture or ?! Interested as well to retrofit if possible.

Tesla 3 WiFi/Bluetooth antenna is on driver's side for US/Canada cars. LTE antenna on passenger's side. Tesla S WiFi is passenger's side. I don't know for UK. So many threads with bad information, Tesla service must be fell up of all the people telling them my router is next to passenger's...

I refer to the original holes on the OEM piece, correct no need to drill any holes. Some of those holes have ridges on the other side. I made a post on this topic few days ago and finished earlier. Updated the thread with 2 pictures, take a look at the pictures. The ridges cause severe...

I used the word edge previously, ridge is the exact word. Adding 2 pictures showing type of ridge found. The first one seems to be caused by a drill bit. For the second one, perhaps the mold needed adjustment and decided this was good enough?

@Medved_77 Are those still holding up good? Ordered them 2y ago and planning to install them this week. How's the cquartz doing? Great idea... but I was thinking to use Fluid Film. It's a non-toxic molecule coming from sheep's wool. It prevents the water to stick to the wool. It's also a...

For those interested, Upon checking the other side and noticing the same spots had similar damage due to friction, it appears that the manufacturing process of the front wheels' arch protector makes things even worst - haven't look at the rear ones yet. Some holes are part of the mold others...

I bought a kit ~2y ago on alibaba, somehow the "soft closing" doesn't work at all - suddenly it drops right away. I hardly used it and I noticed one of the piston is now open... probably need to screw the 2 parts together but I'm not sure yet. All that said - If EVOffer has rock solid after...

Good idea to get those replaced, the FAA might fine you or a UFO might chase you :)

Hi all. From West coast to North East cold winters that requires sand/salt/tiny rocks at times, below are pictures taken this week behind the front wheel's arch liner. The car is a M3 Dec 2018 ~18k miles bought in California, never driven yet in snow. Planning to complete anti-rust job soon...

PM replied.

Eureka… going into the Autopilot settings, the option to activate FSD beta is available. Once the safety score is gone in the app, you should have access to FSD beta!

I have the same issue after upgrading to 2022.12.3.20 - safety score went away right after the upgrade.

Compare to 110V , at 220V the mobile charger is about 5% more efficient. Tesla web site probably has those specs.

Same as 2020.24.6.1 so bug fixes and new bugs :p

I'm not 100% positive what you mean by soft, specially if you have already bled the brakes to make sure no air is left. Here's a way to describe the feeling w/ the brace. If you need to push the pedal almost all the way to the firewall to have ABS kick-in, with the brace you need to push about...

To all of you that ordered the brace before or after this thread started, glad you took risk like I did. More important, I was eagerly waiting all week for more people to install it and read your comments on the end result. Anyone in Montreal area that doesn't have the courage to do this job...

If you could take a few photos and use "arrows" to comment your work. With no such pictures, I'm not sure at all what you did. Thanx!

How could someone not notice the difference? I'm positive my grandma could even tell. ;) Could the washer help not to scratch off the black paint of that metal piece that could later slowly rust? Obviously if you live in an area with no salt on the roads during winter, not be a big deal. It...

Great findings from Munro & Autoline Network. When looking at the last image, on that side of the reinforced plate, it looks like it isn’t soldered to the firewall. I see a gap but the image is blurry a little bit. If it’s a gap, perhaps filling that area with some 3m Panel Bonding Adhesive...

I would agree but once installed and everything is put back in place, the brace can’t be seen. I personally don’t care about the color, I care a lot more with the end result.

I agree, it's the firewall!

I was looking at Tesla Service Manual (LHD) and pictures of the cylinder/booster. From all the pictures that I've found at, see one below here, the master cylinder seems properly secured to the booster - the metal is definitely thick enough and uses 2 good size bolts. If so then the booster...

Have you confirmed the cylinder moves as well on the RHD? Just asking since it might be attached differently. We need a video as proof ;)

Good question! I rely on regen and try to avoid situations to requires me to hit the brake hard. The more you push on the pedal, the more the master cylinder moves. Since the cylinder moves like a pendulum non-stop, I'll raise another question... could that slowly wear off something and cause...

Sorry to revive this thread again. I was searching on TMC for threads on "brakes" to understand what others did to improve brake pad feeling but more important, faster stopping. Like some of you in this thread, I was wondering if I had air in my line... there's likely no air in your line! The...

Mine too. Ever since I’ve been doing the dishes, laundry and cleaning. I’m so tired I would not be able to push the brake pedal to the firewall, thank god I got the brace.

Who are next to install & test the brace? Eager to read about your reactions :D

That’s a good point but if a car is hit so hard that the brace breaks the master cylinder/booster, the replacement/fix might force insurance to call it a total lost, I kind of like that now. That said, it’s true that the brace could have 1 or 2 “hollow” sections that would break on such front...

Welcome for the review... had to write it twice cuz my TMC session timed out. I used an editor and once I was done, I copy & pasted. I was born in Montreal - listen to the video, crc doesn’t wear off except for front facing surfaces hit by sand/rocks. Still CRC does a great job.

Hey again everyone, brace has been installed and road brake test is over. Before I tell you how the brake test went, lets go over the installation using below pictures. Step 1 : remove those 2 bolts. They both have green loctite, don't be surprised if they're not easy to remove! In this...

Hey everyone, Starting this thread, please leave comments, questions and for fun I've setup a poll. I quickly pulled the trigger on the new Mountain Pass Performance Master Brake Cylinder Brace. Ref: MPP Model 3 Brake Master Cylinder Brace | Mountain Pass Performance When I noticed the...

I spent ~1h30 on DigiKey trying to find that connector. But even with the part number, I could only find 1 company in the US with minimum order of 20 @ 1.49$ a piece... I'm in Canada until ~winter, the border is closed and delivery from the US to Canada would take long. Instead of using the...

Where did you get those green connectors from? Are they 3d printed or not?

Are the majority of ICE owners the same type of the majority of Tesla owners? Many live in California, Seattle, NY, ... and work for high-tech companies. Many enjoy owning latest technology, a 3d printer fits perfectly into that category. I should own one but I'm already overbook in many...

I used the same "connector pin 18-20AWG crimp tin" (digikey A126106CT-ND) required for the tweeter connector. I used a pair of pliers to flatten them so they can fit in. It seems pretty solid but will likely add a bit of solder to make it just a little harder to pull out. Before proceeding...

I was going to start On the amazone, uxcell foam 5 meters x 10mm x 1mm costs 12.75 w/ shipping and you get ... 5 rolls. There are likely other options perhaps cheaper. Considering the size of the ring and a 10 mm strip at 1mm, it seems possible to apply that strip and follow the edge to...

I used a very long wrench, even with a long wrench I remember it wasn't so easy. I had my weight on the head of the wrench making sure I don't strip the head. The T45 I used is made in the USA. Anyone planning to remove those seats, make sure not to use a cheap made T45 and a long wrench. I...

Great suggestion, that will be much easier to do! I don't recall getting any with my Infinity speakers. After some search in the "amazone", seems they are called Extruded U-nuts or U-Style clip-on... but the screws that come with the clips have a large washer and from what I recall it can't be...

Welcome back @davitsio, very glad to hear from you! I glued my bracket just earlier and have just noticed that statement. Just to be clear, you removed ~1mm from ~half of the bracket towards the front of the car? If so, I'll use a small grinder to take some off. Instead of use PETG I went...

ATTENTION - THE PLUGS FOR THE FRONT DOOR SPEAKER ARE NOT IDENTICAL TO THE DASHBOARD / REAR DOOR SPEAKERS. If someone knowns where to buy those, let me know. I'll upload a picture later/tomorrow.

I used a T45 and had no issue. You will need red loctite to secure them back in place. It will probably be best to clean it any loctire residues on the bolts prior to screw them back in. I don't have the service manual, I would think you need to torque @15-20# but I might be wrong.

Due to covid, I am stuck in Canada with my USA Tesla. I decided to request Montréal SC 1 year service. At the same time I asked if they could check if my vin was illegible yet for HW3 upgrade and if they had a computer in stock that matches my vin. Instead of requested it aka “I want HW3...

Tesla amp doesn’t have big capacitors unless they are hidden in the subwoofer?!?! Lithium phosphate batteries deliver power insanely fast compared to 12v. It’s on my todo as well to get one, weight lost ya sure, better bass Ooooh YES!

If you haven’t yet, let us know once you’ve put back the door panel in place. That will confirm everything works great and no more adjustments are needed. Thank you and congrat!
