I received my Model 3 in June 2018, as one of the early deliveries in Canada. The car has been bullet proof, only issues I had back with those early cars was a noisy brake clip and axle nut that needed lube.
I had to leave my car parked for a prolonged time (~ 4 months but it was moved to be charged periodically). The day I got back (Jan 22') and woke the car up, TeslaFi began showing a cycle of the waking and sleeping. The car would stay awake for a few mins, then repeat a 30min pattern of staying online. Since then the car uses up battery like Sentry mode is on and will never deep sleep. I removed the car from any 3rd party apps, reset password to refresh API tokens, did multiple resets, turned off all the usual suspects (summon standby, cabin overheat, sentry mode, scheduled charging and preconditioning). I took it into service and they initially mentioned replacing the occupant sensor but it was veto'd by the supervisor there and they wanted to monitor the issue further.
They re-booked me and during this time, I had another issue pop up. My screen had what appeared like moisture ingress. This later turned out to be the display de-laminating itself (I've used cabin over-heat since having the car so this is interesting). This is when I also learned that having a screen protector on your display voids the warranty, luckily, I was covered.
During the 2nd visit, they pulled my cabin air freshner out of the 12V plug and claimed it to be the culprit. Didn't solve the issue.
As of the last few days, the car has now started going into a partial factory reset loop whenever it goes to sleep. I was happy at first because the car was sleeping, only to realize mobile access had been disabled, my driver profiles cleared, all my settings reset, and my home/work addresses erased. Funny enough, the car still magically routed to my work address during my morning commute and my previous entries are still there, so there's some breadcrumbs. Trips don't register either. Odometer works though lol.
I need a Sherlock to crack this case. In all seriousness I have an appt this Friday, hoping 3rd time's the charm as the factory warranty runs out on the 5th of June.
