    App shows "Temporary maintenance: Please try again later"

    After 24 hrs without the app working, i decided to logout and log back in and that worked. So ignore my earlier post of not to logout.

    App shows "Temporary maintenance: Please try again later"

    Good question. I don't think you'll be able to get the key to connect because you won't be able to get into the app, since authentication is performed on the server, which is having issues. DON'T LOGOUT is my recommendation

    Is the Server for the Tesla mobile app down?

    close the app. cycle the blue tooth. Mine too didn't start the car used my card key and the car worked fine. after that the BT connected the phone and the app shows the key as connected...nothing else in the app works.

    Is the Server for the Tesla mobile app down?

    At first I had to used my card to start the car, but now the BT seems to work in the app and the car starts as normal. None of the other functionality in the app works...it just keeps spinning showing the last update time of 10:14 AM CDT.

    Tesla App Connectivity Issues 2019-09-02

    I too have the same issue. Did a reset on the car - didn't think i was going matter, and it didn't - the car seems to be fine, but the app won't connect.

    How much power drains while parked

    It's a model 3 performance. Left it at 7:30 AM w/ 87% SoC. Left work at 5:00 PM w/ 84% SoC. My earlier statement of the IR/UV coating on the glass roof reflects more heat thereby reducing the cabin temp as compared to a metal roof. The cabin overheat protection was keeping the cabin temp...

    How much power drains while parked

    I believe that glass roof reflects more IR and UV light than a conventional roof. My previous car, which was black with no sun roof, would easily hit 110-120 F when the outside air temp was 95F. My Tesla has hit 101F cabin temp once so far (outside temp was 97F). In my old car the steering...

    How much power drains while parked

    While parked in an airport parking lot and sentry monitor turned on over 3 days I lost 12% SoC. I have a Mdl P3D+. And while parked at work I see 3% drop over a 10-11 hr period (sentry monitor is off). These big drops started to occur when the temps started getting 90+. I'm guessing the...

    Calculating the battery pack capacity

    Today I checked my battery pack capacity by using the data provided in the "Since last charge" tile and found i was down 5kWh of capacity. First here's how I do the calculation: Miles driven * Energy used per mi divided by the change in SoC. For me the numbers were 72.8 mi * 319 Wh/mi/(.9 -...

    Does 2019.5.15 update have 5% power boost?

    Unless you have a vbox or you measure very accurately your acceleration runs, you really won't notice it. The 5% translates to .1 sec in a 0-60 mph run. If you have a nearby track and you have the skill, see what the top speed is. The P3D is suppose go 162 mph instead of 155 mph. Based on...

    How often do you Super Charge?

    What's your minimum SoC when you arrive at a SC? I've noticed when SoC is dropped down below 30% the charge rate is near 120kW up to ~50% SoC before the charge rate declines. And when performing an overnight charge at your destination ideal range seems to be reset. For me I do 90% daily...

    How often do you Super Charge?

    I only supercharge on road trips where round trip is greater than 180 mi and that's happened 4 times, which is about every 1000 mi of driving. The NEMA 14-50 circuit charged the car up to my daily drive level of 90% easily in an overnight charge even when it was down to 18% after one of my road...

    Poll - energy or distance

    I started with Miles and switched to % SoC. Ideal miles is misleading; it's only right when the real world conditions are the same as how the car was tested by the EPA, and there many parameters to consider: wind, level of road, road surface, number passengers, outside temp, inside temp...

    Taking performance all-seasons 20” tires on racetrack. Am I crazy?

    McMoo, I agree. Autocross runs are usually <1 mi, but after 6 runs my tire pressure on a 80F day will rise 4-6psi. And yes heat is the culprit for slippery tires, but I have found letting the tire pressure rise (start at 32 psi) helps with tire rollover, steering response, overall control and...

    Taking performance all-seasons 20” tires on racetrack. Am I crazy?

    In addition to my earlier post. They will wear out much faster. If the pressure isn't maintained, you can roll the tire cause severe shoulder wear. I got 2 season out of them and about 11K mi. When I replaced them the shoulders were gone. No tire will hold up when stressed like that; it's...

    Taking performance all-seasons 20” tires on racetrack. Am I crazy?

    I've swapped out the 4S's for the AS3+ as well and autocross with those tires before I bought the Tesla. They are the best all season performance tire out there and stack up well to the 4S's. My only negative on the tire is the road noise; it seems much higher in the P3D+ than my previous car...

    Power consumption while plugged in and not charging

    I believe the battery efficiency for the Mdl 3 extd range pack is 88%. This would account for some of the difference, the remainder is probably due to ~500-1000W constant draw. Leave the car unplug for a few days (phantom drain); there will be ~2-3% drop in the pack's charge over those 3 days...

    Supercharger V3 and Model Y unveil

    VT_EE, most Li batteries have a charging profile of max voltage / max current up to 80% SoC. After that it's Max Voltage. This allows the BMS to level off the batteries. The current flow will drop from as high as 3C to .1C. Tesla seems to use a more conservative charging profile that starts...

    Supercharger V3 and Model Y unveil

    Another question is V3 going to have a constant charge rate beyond ~50% SoC? Would like to see constant charge rate up to at least 80% SoC If not sharing charger, this will shorten charging time significantly, especially when charging beyond 80% or greater SoC.

    Long-range or Performance

    Matt, you're right; it just so happens the new range has the same numeric value as the calculated hp. My long response also points out the fact that the publish 258 hp is in fact much lower than the power required to accel the car from 0-60 in 5.0 sec. I believe we're getting more hp for the...

    Any Chicago area M3 owners get Sentry push?

    Not in Chicago, but in STL and haven't had any 2019 updates. Like to see if anyone in the upper midwest has received any 2019 updates.

    Long-range or Performance

    The 325 hp is some published dyno test on the internet. The official Tesla number is 258 hp, but that number along with the published 5.1 sec 0-60 doesn't calculate out. Using published weight and the 5.1 sec the power calculates out to 326 hp, so the dyno and computed are nearly the same...

    Long-range or Performance

    KenF, I too see the 400+ Wh/mi for the first 5 mi with no pre-heat. I think of having decent energy usage in cold weather is when going 7.2 mi to work, my energy usage is <400 Wh/mi (no pre-heat). On those rare warm winter days in STL when temps were in the mid sixties, my energy usage was...

    Long-range or Performance

    KenF, I have a P3D+ and my experience is nowhere near the level range loss as you are experiencing. My daily use is in town 7-15 mi trips at speeds 35-50 mph. My trip to work is 7.2 or 14.7 mi depending on the which route I take. Last Wed I scheduled my charge to end about the time I needed...

    Has Any P3D+ Owners Gotten Carbon Fiber Spoiler?

    I took delivery of my P3D+ on Oct 29th and I still haven't gotten it. I sent in messages with no reply. This is one my few complaints about Tesla. I guessing when i get my first scheduled service it will be installed...but i'm guessing. If anyone has gotten their, what did you do to get it?

    I have the P3D+ and it's amazing. Every person that i give a ride and even warn them about the sudden acceleration, it catches them off guard and their expression is like the split second when the roller coast comes over the crest of the big drop - eyes 10x time normal size, mouth wide open and...

    110 W vs Wall Connector or Nema 15

    hey Bud, the context of the 60A was for the wall connector and to utilize all of its capability, it should be on a 60A circuit. If the house has only a 100A box, and after doing a load analysis the largest circuit it can safely support is 20A, well then that's the max. One can also know that...

    110 W vs Wall Connector or Nema 15

    Roch_h, not sure how this is mis information...the source is from Tesla's adapter kit (Gen 2 NEMA Adapters), and if you go to Tesla's site for the wall connector it too states that a 60A circuit is needed for the mdl 3 extend range battery, S & X.

    110 W vs Wall Connector or Nema 15

    JetFalcon, those questions are for u to answer. I can recommend though if wire run from the box to the outlet is >75' have them use 6 gauge instead of 8. The wall charger needs a 60Amp circuit while the NEMA 14-50R needs a 50A circuit. If i ever want to spend the added $500 for the wall...

    110 W vs Wall Connector or Nema 15

    Your driving pattern is much like mine - my daily commute is 14.4 miles and often on weekends would drive 50-100 mi on Sat - not so much on Sunday's. That day was when my 110V had a chance to catch up. The first 3 mo's this was fine, but when temps dropped and preheating caused dramatic drop...

    Model 3 Performance Battery Degradation One Month (Story)

    Actually, all M3's can achieve 310 mi; drive a bit slower (62 mph instead of 65). My P3D+ on a rare warm winter day (68F) i was getting a predicted range greater than 310 mi (predicted mi / SoC %). I was also driving at speeds 40-60 mph and had an avg energy usage of 237 Wh/mi and i'm not a...

    Model 3 Performance Battery Degradation One Month (Story)

    I read on other Forums that there's a service bulletin out for some M3 P3D's. I haven't found what date range the cars were produced in that are impacted other than last fall. I too have noticed a degradation, nothing as significant as yours. Based on my rate of degradation it would reach its...
