You can log into the service manual (Model 3 Service Manual | Tesla) for your Model 3 to find the part number. Once you have the part number(s) you can order it/them through your service center. At least that's what I did when I needed bumper/fender parts for my model S. Some parts they won't...

SplitVolt is an option if you have a reasonably accessible 240 receptacle somewhere near a decent parking spot. You plug it into your dryer (or other 240 v) receptacle, then plug your dryer (or other appliance) and your EVSE into it (they have two spaces). When you run your dryer the SplitVolt...

I could see it being a weird problem with merch like tequila or flamethrowers, or seasonal items like tire chains, but I could speculate that it doesn't happen often enough that something like windshield wipers goes in and out of stock so rapidly to be too much of a problem, until it is. For a...

Tried to order wiper blades for model S. Out of Stock. Clicked: notify me when back in stock. Received the email: back in stock, order soon quantities may be limited (at 1:41 AM) Went to order the blades six hours later: Out of Stock. Why not just let me order them, and when they come into...

Yeah, there's no way someone else has this set-up. probably less than 20 of those boats were ever built, and ours was built 35 years ago (by us). The plans have not been available for at leat 20 years....

Easier every year. There are more and more charging options. However, it is a good plan to not have time pressure!

ah, thanks. Yes, that got me to read the "final rule" on TPMS from the US NHTSA, which states that the sensors must give drivers "...a warning when tire pressure is 25 percent or more below the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended cold tire inflation pressure (placard pressure) for one to four...

Hmmm, well I wonder if the TPMS might grab sensor data from a stored wheel if you tell it to relearn (reset) while you are in the garage next to the stored wheels (i.e. when you reset under Tires and Wheels under the Service Menu item- not in Service Mode)? Yeah, it won't read another Tesla's...

Hmm, a nice exercise. There is a formula, the ideal gas law: PV/Tn = PV/Tn where P is pressure, V is volume, T is temperature, and n = molar amount of gas. T is in Kelvin (degrees C + 273) and P is in kPa. One kPa = 0.145 psi... Therefore, for 42 psi: convert 42 psi to kPa by dividing by...

It really depends on where you live and what is available. I got the Tesla S. Korea CCS adapter through Harumio and it works just fine before it was available then in the US. It's the same adapter, so just get it through Tesla in the US, unless you live in S Korea... I agree that the off-network...

I agree with others- the Wall Connector seems to be the best value. Although the Model Y level 2 charge limit is (presently) 32 amps and the Wall Connector can deliver 48A, future-proofing is not a terrible consideration. Further, with other OEMs adopting the NACS standard- Tesla's style of...

Same problem 2021 S LR refresh. After the driver's seat was moved all the way back it would no longer move forward, although the other seat controls worked fine. A sound could be heard at the track motor, so it seemed not to be a power connection issue. We tried everything: lots of pushing on...

I think there are two ways to think about the value of FSD: 1) its actual utility; 2) your contribution to its development. I applaud the folks who are willing/able to contribute to the development of something that will eventually be close to "Full Self Driving". Even "Frequently Self Driving"...

Thanks for the clarification! You can engage Traffic-Aware Cruise Control separately from TACC + Autosteer, so they are two things you can use separately (different methodsof engagement in different models, or even the same model- you can chose how to engage them under Autopilot settings). I...

I was wondering about this topic- When I ordered my Model S (Palladium) in March 2021 there was no option to purchase Enhanced Autopilot. That option came around June 2022. I was under the impression that auto lane change was part of the autopilot-autosteer package back then. The owner manual...
