Service Mode- What can I do with it?
- Thread starter RVJ007
- Start date
It's geo-locked. You can't enter service mode unless you're at a service center.
which charging costs are you talking about? I'm pretty sure you can't skip supercharging fees. I guess someone thinks you could tell the car it has unlimited free supercharging? I'm 99% sure you can't change any of those billing-related settings from the service mode. That would actually be theft anyway if you could. Other fees are at your home, the car doesn't control that.
Not clear what you mean, he told you but he didn't disclose it? Huh? Maybe he meant if you stop at a service center and switch to service mode you can charge up all you like.
Service mode has a brake burnishing setting that will help you use your brakes if they're glazed over or the pads need bedding.
you can't be doing these cheat codes for free charging, otherwise all of us would of done it by now

Not sure this is accurate. I was at a non tesla body shop for ... body repairs.. when the tech who took in my car put it in service mode as I stood there.
I was able to enter service mode from home recently. IT has been geofenced for a long while but I believe it's now available. Half the times there would be no menu entries, I had to get out and back in and it finally worked. I am under the impression that there are less options at home than at a service center though, as there doesn't seem to be that much you can do in it at home.

This isn't some big secret. Just go into the software submenu in the settings, press and hold the "Model 3" branding, and enter "SERVICE" when the dialog box pops up. It hasn't been geofenced for a few updates now.

Brakes? We have brakes? Huh! I always use regen clear down to zero mph. Never use brakes, and figure they'll last the life of the car and beyond.

Remind me never to be in front of you
.I'm currently on 2022.12.3.2 and from what I can tell, geofencing is still enabled in this version. That is to say, I tried entering service mode in my driveway and nothing happened.
Supposedly, at least from what I've read, authorized body shops have had the capability to invoke service mode on their premises. Even prior to the recent dropping of the geofence.
Erm, yes, that is quite a few updates behind now (March-April). I guess it's a good datapoint but I'm sure someone can just check the update history.
