To be more accurate, one should get the thickest gauge wire feasible for an extension cord if there's no other way to charge the car or for use during an emergency (i.e., not for day-to-day usage). This means that the numerical value of the gauge be lower / smaller / closer to zero / less...

Which is in the rear view mirror pod. If that's what the OP means by saying what the rear view mirror attaches to on the windshield. I believe when you activate Autopilot/Autosteer, the wipers are automatically put into the Auto mode. If there's something on the windshield in front of the...

I would say that that's not a very typical upgrade time. My own 2018 LR RWD was updated with HW3 in my driveway by mobile service over 4 years ago. ref: Model 3 HW3 retrofit questions, wait time, issues

<joke>Was there even a Quality Control department in the first place?</joke>

No, I didn't say, mean or imply that. Merely that it may be Elon's way of thinking and doing things. He has admitted a couple of years ago, on live TV, that he's "on the spectrum", specifically, Asperger's. That could explain why he did what he did. Or maybe not. I'm no psychologist. On...

So maybe this was Elon's plan all along.... fire everybody and then see who is desperate / loyal enough to return to the fold. What we will probably never know is if these returnees are coming back to the same salary (or lower?) of if they managed to get compensated (financially or otherwise)...

Amazon seems to have a T0001 tubular key: https://www.amazon.com/2-T0001-Tubular-Southco-Compartment-Brands/dp/B0853F5ZHP edit: There's also a design file (.STL) on thingiverse.com: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4669547

Actually don't try "Media FM". It doesn't work. However, "Media Radio" does work but I couldn't find a voice command to select a specific frequency (per @skygraff) or callsign. Since "Radio" is shorter and faster than saying "Media Radio", I'd go with that.

What I found that works fairly well for me, albeit from a different music source than the FM radio, is saying "Media USB". About 90% of the time the command is recognized and playback begins. When it doesn't work, the audio system still appears to not know which source to select, or does...

Wasn't it when the Model 3 came with the "chrome delete" feature from the factory? That's my understanding of how to visually determine, to some extent, if it's a Gen3 or Gen4 model. So that's pre-2020???

1763817 seems to be the P/N for the mobile connector kit or bundle; the connector and the two NEMA adapters inside the zipper case. edit: My own mobile connector that came with the car back in 2018 has a P/N of 1101789-91-F

Everything I find on the web about 1937825 and Tesla says that the equipment was certified in March 2024, a couple of months ago. ref: Product Finder — ENERGY STAR Certified Electric Vehicle Chargers (AC-Output) ref: Tesla, Inc. Device Database ref: 1937825-XX-X - Tesla Specifications and...

@Gasaraki OP resolved this issue back in Dec. 18th, two posts above your own.

My understanding is that the original 12V battery, as delivered with the car, is covered by the 4-year 50,000 mile "bumper-to-bumper" warranty. Once it gets replaced, however, I don't think it's covered for another 4 years. I had mine replaced a few years ago proactively so I paid ~$120 but...

In my job career, starting from 1973, and holding six different jobs with only two unemployment interruptions until 2019, I've only had one situation that was close to what you describe. I had already decided to leave the company that I was at when the corporate owners decided to shut the whole...

I guess I should clarify that the only thing I know for sure is wrong, is that statement about the wall "charger" being plugged into a socket. Here's a quick rundown on some of the points (facts?) that were stated in the article: "Tesla models have earned five-star ratings from regulators in...

If I was one of those that got unceremoniously fired via an impersonal email and then received an offer to be rehired, I'd have to think real hard about accepting. Double my previous pay rate and a boatload of stock might entice me back but I'd still be putting feelers out for a job elsewhere.

Thanks for this! About the only thing that stands out to me (as an error) is the statement about the "wall charger" being "plugged into a 240V socket". Highly doubtful that they are using a corded Wall Connector but I guess that's me being nit-picky.

If you think you hear something flapping around, then have a friend follow you on the highway and have them closely watch your car from behind as well as both "blind spots".

I'll take a guess and say it's a malamute. Or maybe a husky. Can't see its tail which makes it hard to determine.

I believe that live camera access via the app requires that Sentry Mode be enabled. That will display a "Live Camera" option in the app, which you can click on and get a multi-camera view (front, back and side repeaters) if you click on the box at the upper right, or click on dots surrounding...

Same thing with my Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2019). While it looks like you can "grab" the light grey bar and drag the charging stops section down, it doesn't. I can, however, resize the small map portion by squeezing or expanding (2-finger pinch or enlarge action), in addition to dragging it...

If you are relatively sure that it's only cosmetic damage, or in other words, nothing that has harmed the structure of your car, I'd skip going the insurance route and find a tube of touch up paint and apply it yourself. Unless you are super-anal about how your car looks, then the other option...

Maybe odd-numbered days has a bug that prevents odd-numbered temperatures???

Assuming you could find a cheap CHAdeMO adapter at this late stage, or already have one, there's pretty good coverage of CHAdeMO stations in Canada, where the OP is located. It never hurts (other than the wallet) to have another charging source available, especially if you are traveling.

Note that the page you referenced is possibly meant for Australia. The URL contains "en_au" (English Australian) and mileage is stated in kilometers. The CHAdeMO adapter has not been sold by Tesla since around 2020, about a year after they updated the software to allow Model 3 to use the...

Were it me, I'd put the car into Valet Mode which limits power/speed and locks the glovebox and frunk. You'll need to give the driver/moving company a keycard to access the vehicle but I assume you would already do this in order for them to move it off/on the transporter. I would not use...

Contact Service via the app and ask them to perform an over-the-air reformat of the car's SD card. Back in late 2018-early 2019 I had a similar problem with software updates refusing to install. Right before I was scheduled to bring the car in to the service center I was contacted via email...

Like most things, it depends upon the part of the country you live in. Here in Silicon Valley you could almost throw a rock in any direction and hit a Tesla. They are almost as ubiquitous as Starbucks.

My take on this is to do the math like I did in post #12 above. Which is to figure out what the cost per mile is in just fuel (ignoring all other costs like maintenance, insurance, depreciation, etc.). For your own personal vehicle, whatever the fuel type, it's easy to do given you know how...

Coming from another recently updated thread to say: Nice mod! Me being me, if I were to do something like this I'd probably spell it: "L A T E S" Not that I'm a fish expert or enjoying fishing (I don't) but this has the effect of putting the "T" in the appropriate, center location and I...

Not sure; I'm not an electrician although I do play one at home sometimes for simple stuff like installing X10 wall switches and such. I will use the backstab method only for lights and never for outlets.

"How do these lugs work on the latest Wallbox EVSE?" If those terminals are essentially the same design principal as the "backstab" connections on 120VAC outlets and wall switches, I'd say: "Not very well over time."

... a Ford Lightning, that is: https://youtu.be/XQ5gT9dTPEQ As somewhat explained in the test accompanying the YT video, I had just left my veterinarian's office and was headed to a nearby Starbucks when a Ford Lightning ran a red light and nearly t-boned me. My light turned green, I...

Taking a very wild guess, I would say it's probably a MOSFET in an SOT23-6 package (2.9mm x 1.6mm). Would need a clear close-up photo of the device that shows any markings to make any more semi-educated guesses. edit: Further examination of the circuit board photo shows that there are several...

Is it possible that the Rivian owner had a functional CCS adapter but tried to use it on a non-compliant Supercharger? My understanding is that only V3 Superchargers are currently capable of charging non-Tesla vehicles through the use of the NACS-to-CCS adapter. The article about the Tesla...

Hmm... maybe I got confused by another thread. I thought the OP's location was "Belgie", which I understood to be Belgium. Nevertheless, Denmark is also in the EU so my initial post should still be correct :) .

I don't believe that that option will work in Belgium (where OP appears to be). EU uses CCS2, which will not fit the adapter you pointed out.

I ordered one of these cases yesterday and although both the CCS and J1772 adapters do fit inside, it's a bit hard to zipper the case closed. Since the J1772 is stored in the top half of the case and the CCS in the bottom, when you fold the case closed, the adapters are on top of each other. I...

It sounds like you may be missing a piece from the right side. There is a piece of black plastic surrounding the pins which is known as a "deadfront" and there was a service bulletin for replacing these on early 2018 cars. Here's my 2018 LR RWD which had the replacement performed a couple of...

Temperature change should affect all tires the same, not just one or two Increasing ambient temperature should make the tire's pressure gain, not lose PSI

- somebody is playing with your valve stems and letting air out

I believe that's the main point @KenC is trying to make. His car was queried almost every day, in cold conditions, for two weeks, and it lost less than 6%. The OP is concerned about a 5 week period so that might be a loss of 15% in those same conditions. Since the OP is in a moderately warm...

I also have v4.31.0-2552 but I can see Supercharger rates for locations far from my current location. Click the app's Location feature and then click the "lightning" icon (Chargers) and you should see stations near you. Zoom out in the map and it should populate with stations (you may have to...

Were it me, living in L.A., I would not street park for the 5 weeks, especially if a garage is available for the duration. You say you could garage it but it's "not ideal". Exactly what does that mean? Would the assumed hassle of garaging the car outweigh the possibility of having the car...

The CCS retrofit kit is a single part number which includes the ECU and CCS adapter together. It's presumed that Tesla will/can not deduct the cost of the adapter while retaining it (i.e., not giving it to you). About the only way I see that you could do the upgrade without incurring the cost...

I've never used Temu but the same thought can be applied to amazon (Prime member) and ebay (member since May 2001).

New Model 3s should not require any retrofit kit. You can check to see if CCS charging is enabled by going into the Car menu (lower left icon on the car's screen), hitting Software and then Additional Information.
