In case this helps someone... In the midst of a week-long road trip the frunk on our 2019 Model 3 failed to open. We found a hack to press in the parking button. That seemed to work for a day or two. Then the funk release started to work intermittently and the parking hack no longer worked. No...

The Badlands in South Dakota has caught my imagination for decades. In September of 2022 we made the trip from Ohio, and went as far out as Devil’s Tower in Wyoming, in a 2019 LR RWD Model 3 with 18” tires and aero caps. This is the third long trip we’ve made in our Model 3. It’s our...

I struggled with the Motive 1118 cap to keep a good seal on my Model 3. Motive event sent me a few other gaskets. I finally got a decent seal by building up the gasket with some tape. While texting with our Mobile Ranger he sent me a link to the ones they use, produced by JTC Auto Tools: Model...

Captured a false forward collision warning with the Tesla Safety Score app. Called Tesla, they verified the time, and I matched it from the drive. I have Tesla Insurance so this bug effects what I pay. Tesla sent me an email to which I can reply with the video link so they can look into the...

Rear passenger door. Anyone have this issue and have it fixed? What was causing the rattle? SC tightened the latch mechanism. The door sounded solid afterward. Two hours later after the drive home the noise was back, seemingly worse. Almost a month to get another SC appointment. Tesla said they...

When TSLA stock hit lows a few months back I purchased stock with the intention of using the profits to buy FSD. As of today the profit from those shares would completely cover the cost of FSD. I was about to pull the trigger. While I consider it highly unlikely, what if Elon offered a last-day...

Sharing this for anyone with a rear rattle they cannot locate. Since picking up my Model 3 in April I've never felt the car was as solid as it should be. I've taken it several times to the SC for help in addition to troubleshooting on my own. The air vent under my passenger seat was not...

Probably more of an academic question to which there is no supporting data. What is less stressful on the battery pack: running down to single digits or a brief supercharging session to stay above 30% SOC? We took a trip totaling 270 miles in our LR RWD. We started the trip at 90% SOC. We...
