Ah you are correct - I overlooked the fact it was a windscreen tint! Never realised the legality of windscreen tints was such a gray area. I've no intention of "tricking my car out" (those days are behind me!) but I do think a black Model 3 with a subtle sunset chameleon tint on the front...

Found a 2nd source with a little more information: CAUTION: Installing Windshield Film & Computer Problems

I wish I kept reference of all the sources from this morning...for now I could only locate one: Tesla Model 3 Warning I don't think its a completely isolated issue, I have seen 2 other reports of this. That said, this is the internet and without sources, they could just be parroting what they...

I've got a late 2019/early 2020 Model 3 Performance. Love it aside from the fact with the white interior, its essentially a fish bowl out in public. I'd like to get tints all round. I've read a small quantity of horror stories regarding the components in the A-pillars being fried during the...

Cheers, I stand corrected. I remember seeing "a figure" go up considerably but it couldn't have been this one then.

From my experience, the battery estimates are based on actual drive data. Since getting my Tesla in September 2023 I've done mostly short/urban drives and my estimate was looking low. I did one long drive from London - Manchester and then a return, the max estimated range had gone up considerably.

My issue described above could theoretically be the above ^ (seasonal weather variation). I bought my car in September 2023 during autumn/winter, and its only just started to become sunny and warm. Will be interesting to see how it behaves over the years.

Cheers, I do already use it but am considering switching to Teslamate. It still seems like an oversight/shortfall on Tesla's part though. The fact you need a third party solution for this data should be a testament to this.

I'm a pretty rational guy, before buying a Tesla I saw the post about wipers and thought "how bad can they really be. People probably have perfectionist expectations, and want it to do track days for them too. I'm sure it'll be fine". Nope. They have always failed in every operational...

Not just you - my 2019 Model 3 Performance was away for a repair for a month. When it came back it was blowing noticably colder air around the previous perfect temperature, which was 21. Now it varies over time. If I set it to 21 when I get in, its too cold. If I go higher to say 25, and then...

Had 2024.8.7 installed a couple hours ago, no immediate differences spotted on a quick grocery run.

This is an attack vector more people need to know. Having a car secured by a login with no 2FA means your password had better be secure, decent, and unique. If you recycle it on 10 websites and one of them gets the right kind of breach you're in for a hard time. Better yet, disable any...

You're very welcome mate. I've been on car forums for well over a decade and there no worse feeling than finding someone with the same issue you have, where the thread ends with "nvm sorted it"! With Teslas being a relatively new tech I figure if we all pool anything we can learn, it benefits...

The money I spend at a supercharger or home charging to me is my historic data. I feel like its a bit of an oversight for it to vanish once I sell a car. Assuming I one day sell it, did I just lose all of those past savings? No, but I've lost reference to them now.

If you've read this far, you'll want the info of what happened 4 days later.
