They keep spots open for catastrophic issues. So if you have an issue that’s as bad as not being able to drive or charge, they’ll get you in quick. If you’re trying to open for something less catastrophic such as noise issues, tires, etc, then it looks like TPA and STP are first week in May...

Was hoping for more than 510hp. Well, as long as the motor holds torque above 60mph, I'll be happy.

Yep, usually temperature fluctuations. When you finish charging the battery is warmer and then when you get back in the car several hours later, it's cooler. BMS (battery management system) estimation is more of an art than calculated science (though that's all it really is).

Did you save the footage by pressing the dash cam icon (or honking the horn if set)? - If you did, it will be inside the /TESLACAM/SavedClips directory and saved until no more room is available and even then only the oldest are purged. - If you didn't, the last hour of driving is stored in the...

My two cents... There's not much you can do if on the day of pick-up if they walk outside and do a manual inspection. However, that wasn't the case in my scenario and many many others. They just haven't manually inspected trade-in most scenarios I've read. You can't do much of anything to...

Living in Florida, I can say the F150 seats blows cold air through the seats you can really feel the cooler temperature. Awesome. Wish Tesla adopted this. They have cold air vents in the center console they could easily have pulled from. Wonder if this is something could be retrofitted from...

Try connecting your car to wifi and try again after about 3 minutes after connection.. If you can connect over wifi, that points to an issue with the eSIM and/or mobile network.

What does the 30 day rejection legal language say (as opposed to the 14 day return)? 3/13 to 4/3 is greater than 14 days, AND you put more than 3000 miles on it. Those policies are there to prevent people from ordering cars and using them like a no charge rental asking for a refund. I know...

How many kms did you put on the car in the 14 days return window?

Very excited. I’ll wait for the initial price hike to inevitably come down, hopefully in time for the December end of quarter.

If they are right in front of the rear tire, I believe they’re just studs to hold the felt inner fender liner in place. I noted these missing back on my 2019 M3 back when I purchased it and I bought little snaps for them.

Honestly, with any beater car, you have to consider repair pricing into the equation. With EVs, getting a repair that costs as much as the beater car is a very real possibility which is opposite beater car mentality.

Did your high voltage battery go from 55 to zero? Or did just your 12v die?

Wow, this is why insurance rates are skyrocketing. I'm not an adjuster, but I can't see your A-Pillar as structurally compromised from the photos (from carbon fiber impact?). If it is, I get it for safety concerns. But if it's not....that's just nuts to total this vehicle because of glass...

Get the warranty doc for the year of your car. This example shows will cover the first 500 miles: " For vehicle malfunctions due to warrantable issues, transportation services, provided by Roadside Assistance, are covered by Tesla for the first 500 miles (800 km) to the nearest Tesla Service...

Look for “lug nut covers” here: https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modely/en_us/GUID-94F63B13-EA2C-45D9-83AB-5DCA6295D587.html

I don’t have your specific combo but my 20” performance wheels center cap has a small hole on them where you insert a tool into that hole and pull the cap. You could easily do the same with your hands though. The tool, which is nothing more that a 90 degree bent rod with a hook at one end...

Oh man that’s rough. I can hear it myself now. Hopefully insurance covers the Ventum too. I feel for ya….. I once had three bikes on top of my m3 (a real m3) with the middle bike in a fork mount but mounted backwards. The rear wheel Velcro came loose and the bike flipped backwards onto the...

Just ask them in the app. I have no experience but I bet they would be accommodating if they have one. Now whether or not that model 3 is four years old with significant wear and tear is another question.

Ooof. Man, condolences. I have this happen to friends and that sound is truly nightmarish and won't be forgotten. I'm assuming the bike also broke? Just like a train wreck, pictures would be appreciated (sorry).

I always default to the recommendation of replace tires in pairs. At 25k miles, it's probably not a bad idea, especially if you haven't been rotating.

Man, Europe still has a 14 day return policy? Jealous. Guess we abused it over here.

Second for the corrosion accumulation. Ever leave your car for a week or so and then when you take off the rears “pop” loose? That leaves a level of accumulation that needs to be scraped off though braking (which we hardly do driving on city streets). I know they said the front but its very...

I think 46k is pretty good, especially if you get the tax reduction in CAN with trade-ins. Go with your heart.

A pic of what you are working with is priceless. So you supply the mobile charger (UMC) and take this in/out of your trunk every day and plug it into the 240V outlet? Or do you leave it plugged in a semi-permanent location? Can you mount something to the wall to "hang" the UMC while...

They might be talking about a drivetrain like they have in the new ramcharger where they have a ICE engine to charge/power the electric drivetrain. The ICE is totally disconnected from the wheels and exists only to extend the electric range.

I'm not an expert in lemon law in CA, but a quick google search says you need to be within 18 months or 18k miles. You are over on both. Check with a layer first though.

This is really impossible as @brkaus mentioned. WAAAY too many variables (company/age/location/mileage/garaged/history/marriage status/employment status/autopayment/credit score/etc) to compare any single quote. You would need responses from 10s if not 100s of people in your similar...

Why would your insurance decline coverage? We only have limited pics so it's impossible for anyone to tell. I From the limited pics, it seems you only have damage on the door and maybe superficial damage to the passenger rear front? Is so, the cost is a new door, installation, plus paint.

Just keep at it. Learning to use the accelerator pedal like a brake gets to be second hand. Still, if you would like to change toe creep mode quickly, I believe the SEXY buttons would allow you to do that with a single push.

Watch it over a few days. What you’re seeing maybe normal vatiance due to temperature changes and BMS irregularities. Many times I’ll charge at night (cold) to a certain percentage but when I actually drive it in the afternoon the next day it has dropped 3-4 percent. But that’s not due to...

Where are you staying the night before? We stayed at the Grand Canyon Caverns Inn which is only like 70 miles from the hilltop. More than enough for a LR I would imagine. We were from out of town so had a gas car so it didn't matter, but your answer depends on where you last charge is, and...

Is there at least a noise that sounds like the lock opening? You can always open manually. https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_us/GUID-3667D28B-5B3B-49CE-A1C1-3D70AC60D9F6.html#D1E1416

Missing the critical expensive pages.

It's on the underside and the car is a lease? I'd sand down the area and forget about it. No one will ever notice that if they can't feel it (or even care really).

That's pretty strange. I would think a 19" wheel in the same width and construction should be stronger and more stable than a 21". I have nothing concrete to base that on other than experience with bicycle wheels which are not the same but still...... BTW, definitely go with the manufacturer...

I know it's not a map, but at least they add the next turn and distance to that turn to the left display area. Still, seeing the map would appreciated. Many revisions ago, they had the ability for an "intermediate" screen app whereby the app would fill the bottom ~1/3 of the screen while the...

From someone who never experienced AP1, what was obstacle avoidance like? Anyone have it react to something sudden and avoid an obstacle? I’m wondering if the current AP state is all the added situational logic and learned behavior that cause the instability.

Also. If you feel like you must have that next two minutes, you can pull it from the dash cam folder where it saves everything about the drive in 1 minute chunks. It will only overwrite the files when you SD card is full. This could lead to hours of recorded footage after the event depending...

Humble suggestion, if you have a weekend cottage 350 miles away, without knowing the temperature and elevation you will encounter on such a drive, it is worth considering a LR 19" and a 240V outlet at the cottage.

No one but the insurance can tell you that. WAY too many variables including age, driving history, location, miles per year, heck, even your credit score. Call Amfam and ask them that exact question.

I assumed you tried the service center? Safelite is the company the Tesla Service Center uses here in Tampa so if they are out of stock, I would think everyone else may be too but it's worth a try. 2016 MS has two variants, to 3/16 and from 4/16. Here's the part number for to 3/16. Maybe...

Gotta do the math…and know the voltage and amps. If it’s 11kw (the fastest most l2 chargers can deliver, that’s ~2.75/11 or 25 cents a kwhr. Not bad if you compare it against a supercharger but not great if you compare to home rates. Say their voltage is 208V or their delivered amps is lower...

Doesn’t the app show that it’s heating the battery with L2 the way it does when you are in a supercharger? Check the app at 19:17 or so and see if it is indeed heating. See the discussion here: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/battery-warming-icon-in-new-app.245549/ I’m in FL so in...

Depends on how your CF piece is designed to fit. Some are complete replacements (more money) where you would remove the wood, and some are sit on top covers (cheaper), where you’ll need the old cover to attach the new one or it will have nothing to sit on top of.

Great review. thank you. For your question: I don't know this for sure, but I suspect you are getting caught in the efficiency calculation. You can calculate the EPA efficiency by dividing kwhr/km. Since the S is "rated " more efficient, the same amount of energy delivered will mean more...

This is a good point if you will sell quickly, and less important if you are keeping it long term since Tesla doesn't use model years for features. I would certainly want a 2024 if I were buying new now. You can check by the VIN, at least in the US. I'm ignorant of how VINs are treated in the...

From the Tesla battery perspective, the consensus is anything Level 2 and below is considered slow charging so no perceptible difference to the main battery degradation. From the efficiency standpoint, 240V is marginally more efficient than 110V. Further, if the battery needs to be heated or...

Connect the lights to a home automation hub. Then for the coming home part, create a geofence automation like shortcuts (iOS) or Tasker (Android) which triggers a POST to your home hub to light the lights when you enter your home geofence. Then set an automation to trigger a post to turn them...

I can’t be sure if this is the issue, but the app reportedly added motion and fitness tracking to improve phone key. https://driveteslacanada.ca/news/tesla-adds-waypoint-support-improves-phone-key-and-hints-at-octa-view-live-cam-in-latest-app-update Maybe this is the issue? I haven’t...
