    Home/mobile charger challenges

    Agree. Any way you can get an electrician to create a plug closer to the car so you don’t have to use extension?

    Reduced Performance with Higher Miles

    No, the performance shouldn’t change as the mileage goes up. However the power delivery is lower when you are at lower states of charge.

    Don't buy Tesla accessories from Basenor!

    Interesting. I bought a number of items from them and have been very pleased. All through Amazon. (I even got one of them for free because they were 2 days late on the shipping).

    Car Lock Sound Suggestions?

    I really like the Taycan lock sound. Two short beeps. Does anyone have a clean recording of this?

    I am frankly shocked by how stunningly beautiful the Cybertruck is

    It is a polarizing design, but I love it. Reminds me of what people said about the SUV Coupés back in the day. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    Pilot Sport 5 vs Pilot Sport EV

    Have heard good things about the Pirelli Elect from a friend who has a 3. They seem to be a good pick. Also agree with the above post about going for a touring tire if you’re not looking for performance. Better tread wear and less noise on touring tires (generally speaking).

    Model 3 front doors creaking / door check straps

    I had one replaced under warranty a few months ago. Same issue on the other 3, they said they can’t replicate. There’s a YouTube video where you can fix the noise without replacing it.

    It can use the mains to heat/cool battery, as well as precondition the climate or overheat protection. Also sentry mode.

    Need to replace my all season and snow tires , what are folks using in Canada?

    For the ones who got Nokians for winter: is it pretty easy to find them in the GTA? I’m more worried if I have a flat and one or more tires need to be replaced.

    Charge port door malfunction: should I worry?

    I had the same thing happen to me the first week I owned the car (22 M3LR). Seemed to fix itself after a deep sleep. I figured it was a software glitch. Wouldn’t hurt to keep the appointment to investigate just in case it’s a hardware fault. Are there any alerts under service mode?

    I would try soapy water as suggested above.

    What is this white spots/scratch on my Tesla model screen?

    Looks like a scuff. Don’t know if Tesla would cover that but nothing to lose by submitting a ticket.

    Squeaky / Creaky Noise from Rear Seats (especially when going over bumps)?

    This makes sense… I also have a child seat attached. Haven’t tried to remove.

    No such issue here… could you post a video?

    Squeaky / Creaky Noise from Rear Seats (especially when going over bumps)?

    Yes. I haven’t been able to fix this. I think part of it is the seat material rubbing against each other. Part of it is the flexing of the rear shelf. If you have any solutions I would love to hear more about it.

    Model 3 LR AWD - Two Year Snapshot

    What is your charging pattern? Also have you tried varying your charge limit (so that your car sits at different percentage points to allow the BMS to take more accurate estimates)? Here is the pattern of degradation in mine. Note the increase in estimated range towards the end. Initially I...

    Model 3 LR AWD - Two Year Snapshot

    Thanks for your detailed post. I am at 35k miles on a 2022 3LR and also show 81 kWh on stats with 358 mi estimates range with charging to 60% daily (car sits at 40-50% most of the time. Really good to see this strategy does work.

    Drove the Highland Yesterday.

    Sat in a highland at an auto show yesterday (no test drives available in Canada yet as far as I know). Definitely an improvement in quality with the doors. Feels way more solid. Very pleased with this update so far, can’t wait to drive it.

    Confused about charging in off-peak hours

    My off peak hours end at 7am. I set the off peak to end at 7am and departure time to 8am. My car charges to the set limit by about 630am. But then I notice I lose about 1% charge and it charges again just before 8am for about 15-20mins. Frustrating as the electrify price is triple during that...

    How much super charging is considered too much for good battery health

    I wouldn’t worry about it. The car will slow your charging if you’re supercharging too much.

    Why Does My Model X get so many Flat Tires?

    Thanks for sharing your experience. By chance are there any cracks in any of your rims? Leaks from the valve stem? Also any evidence of sabotage? Otherwise it seems like you may just have very bad luck.

    Why Does My Model X get so many Flat Tires?

    What are the causes of the flats each time? I’d be curious to know.

    front louvre blockage detected

    I also had this warning last week when I randomly checked service mode out of curiosity. Logged in a few days later and it was gone. The louvers seem to be opening and closing fine, but there was a bit of ice built up on the outside. I wonder if the ice kept the louver from Fully closing, and...

    I have noticed an increase in estimated range in my LR as well recently with no change in charging habits. I thought it must be a software issue.

    Tesla M3 passenger door check strap making popping noises when closing and opening.

    I just had my driver's door check strap replaced. Now I notice that the other 3 doors are also making similar sound (not as bad as the driver's was). Funny thing is I think the doors have been like this since delivery. How common is this issue?

    Gummifledge Safe for Tint?

    I spoke to tint manufacturer's customer service line. They looked up the Gummi Pfledge though there weren't any specific chemicals listed. They recommended not to use it to be on the safe side. I won't be using it moving forward. I hope that's helpful.

    I enjoy the highway 7 route. Madoc supercharger is my favourite stop. 250kw stalls, and has been empty every time I’ve stopped there.

    Gummifledge Safe for Tint?

    Thanks for all the replies. I’m really not sure if it was the Gummi Pfledge or not. That’s why I started the thread. I didn’t apply it after that windows tint was redone. I will try to contact the tint manufacturer this week when I find time.

    Gummifledge Safe for Tint?
