Someone asked a while back to see what the new Nova wheels look like without the aero trim pieces.
Took them all off for ceramic coating this weekend, and thought to take some photos to save people the annoying task of removing them all.
Personally, I will be putting the trim pieces back on. But without, definitely more 'depth' can be seen in the spokes.
What do you think?

Since Tesla partnered with Apple Maps, it is apparently no longer possible to plot out a trip which includes charging stations unless you’re sitting in the car. When you click on navigation within the iPhone Tesla app, it takes you out of the Tesla app and into Apple Maps. Here you can plan a route like you would in any other car but you can’t see when or where you will need to charge. This is a serious inconvenience when planning, for example, a long summer road trip. Is this an unintended (or intended?) consequence of the partnership with Apple Maps, or am I missing something?

Didn’t see a yellow brick pillar when reversing

Damage near rear left-wheel. How and is this… really?

Any tried and trusted bodywork repair places near Dartford?

As always team… much appreciated!

Model Y. Cracked windshield within 2 months of taking possession. Thought it was bad luck. And surprised that such a small pebble would lead to a full crack over whole glass. Don't mind rock chip repairs but was insanely fast how it spread within minutes and became a non option.

Now onto my 4th windshield in 3 years. Huge cracks form after small rock chips. Have noticed lots of chatter about similar stories and starting to wonder if that glass on the Model Y (and sounds like 3) is brittle/ fragile/ poorly designed/ leads to full windshield cracks that go beyond simple chip repairs.

Anyone stumble onto any good options? At $1000 a pop this is getting a bit expensive.

Hello, I recently purchased a 2019 Tesla Model 3 which only has 1423 miles on it. This is my second day owning this vehicle and I have found out some interesting information and am looking to the community to see if we should keep this vehicle or return it.

First off, we love the vehicle, and the Tesla product from our first experience. Our issue however is this. The vehicle somehow avoided any contact with Tesla for the last 3-4 years and never received any update since 2019.40.50.7 which is currently installed. My vehicle will not receive OTA updates at all, and Tesla is saying we need to come back in a month for our scheduled appointment to see what the issue is. I am sure the OTA update just won't push out to this vehicle as it needs too many or something. This is currently affecting vehicle connectivity. Where this is important is, access to the Tesla Chargers and phone access / connectivity as a phone key etc.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I could try to get this issue resolved myself? Is there a way I can download and install the software updates myself? I am computer literate and am not afraid of DIY, I am just not sure if I should wait past the return window I have to return this car and hope there are no other issues with this vehicle's computer in a month or can I begin the updates and see if I can get close to the update needed for the system to start updating OTA again.

I do not know any of the history of this vehicle either other than the current mileage and the vehicle was a 1-owner in California and has no accident history reported on CarFax.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. The vehicle works great but in the current setup, we are not able to gain any connectivity from the Tesla App thus we are not able to use the Tesla Chargers in the network. I have a charger home that is a rapid charger and for the most part, the vehicle will be charged at home with our own charger.

I live in Mexico where there are large and poorly made speed bumps everywhere, and the main reason I prefer the Model S over the 3 is the adaptive suspension that can be raised and lowered. Does this new suspension in the Model 3 Performance allow for that? If not, I will have to wait for the Model Y Performance or treat myself to an S or X.

I've come to understand that FSD, with it's intense data gathering, training models, and dojo neuron networks, is a large AI application. Chat GPT and other better known AI applications are known to sometimes hallucinate, to make mistakes, even to make up facts. My question is can FSD behave similarly? Obviously if the answer is yes that raises a big issue. But if the answer is no, why does the FSD system not share this behavior of other AI systems?

Thanks for educating me.

Wall connector, ready for install. Submitted installation rebate to Duke Energy.

Model 3 Performance (2024)
So decided to go red this time, sticking with white seats, may change my mind on seat colour.

On another note
I have a 2020 Model 3 Perfromance (blue with white seats) with 36,000km's on it in perfect condition...seats look like new including drivers seat, never thrashed, paint has had PPF from new....basically looks like new.

Hi folks, while enjoying our honeymoon driving round Scotland, a couple of days ago I couldn’t start the car in the morning because pressing the brake did not switch it on. There is a ‘Car off’ message bottom right of the drivers display. I’m pressing the brake pedal which normally starts the car but I was getting the message ‘Press brake pedal to switch gears’. I’m pressing the brake pedal. Both screens and everything by else appears to be working ok.
Starting the car from the app doesn’t work.
Resetting the screens via the scroll wheels doesn’t work.
Eventually the car just started and we continued our trip. The car drives perfectly and the brake pedal is working fine.
The next morning it started fine.
However, exactly the same problem happened again this morning but this time the car wouldn’t start after a while so I called Tesla support and they got me to switch the car off and back on again fully which fixed the problem.
I have started the process of having it serviced, but it is out of warranty and I’m guessing it’s not going to be cheap, whatever the problem is.
Has anyone experienced this before? Is it just software? Is it because the car is cold first thing in the morning? Is there a problem with the brake pedal?
Many thanks for any help that you can give.

I’m very lucky in that most of the places I go to work have 22kW chargers but two industrial sites have not go them installed yet.

So I’m reduced to plugging in to a 13a socket for the day I’m there .

I had enough of this and invested some time and a bit of money .


They all have 63a 3 Phase the big red sockets . So I have made a 63a 3 phase to 32a commando lead .

3 phase end


1 phase end 32a commando to 32a Tesla



Result 7kW charging

I also have the 16a Tesla and Eur to 16a but I have not needed to use them yet

Got a flat recently and my Tesla started leaking, what’s this part called? Can I just use jb weld?

How do I get my cruise control back in mu 2020 MSP? Simple question...

Hi All

Recently ordered the MYRWD and waiting allocation of VIN. Exciting times ahead.

I am looking at charging options and wondering if some of you can help!

Car usage will most likely be limited to <50-75km per day maybe the occassional 100km weekend day.

Got a single phase home, i know few options are either:
1. UMC and plug it to normal power point but will be a slow charge
2. Get a 32a line installed by electrician and use UMC to get max 7kw output
3. Install 32a and get Tesla Wall charger

My question would be if I were to go with the 3rd option, are there benefits of single phase home using Tesla Wall Charger as I can't maximise the charge output of 11kw? Not planning to get a 2nd EV yet so no power sharing.

I feel like going with option 1 to save cost of install but also trying to see benefits of the other options!

For context I have solar as well so intend to use its output as much as possible and am in Perth.

Any ideas or best approach?

So we were lucky enough to snatch one of the OG SRs (7 seater) back in 2021 when they were released for like a 6 week period. Car has been great these three years, zero complaints or issues, but we have been toying with the thought of trading it for a newer Y LR.

That said, given the relative scarcity of this SR (no idea how many were produced but it couldn't have been many) and the fact that we haven't really had any issues, is this something that would be worth holding on to?

*Would also love to hear from some other original SR owners on their thoughts and experiences

Which one and why?

My solar system started operation on June 10 last year, so this is my first April with solar. March was great - I made as much as I used, but still drew grid power some days and sent power to the grid some days. April has been really good. On April 6, I drew 15.1 kwh from the grid. Since that day, I've not taken grid power and sent 285 kwh back to the grid - after filling PWs and charging my car to 80%. Other than wishing for a way to save those kwh for later without net metering (still in place in MD), I am planning on not drawing grid power until sometime in October and thinking that I'll not be billed for power until some time in November. We will see....
Any others saying a temporary goodbye to grid power?

I'm thinking of trading in my current 2021 M3P for the 2024 M3P. I'm hoping to get some feedback from my fellow Tesla owners. My M3P has 30k on it, no accidents, dents dings...VERY clean with a full winter set up of wheels and tires. I owe about $29k with a rate of 2.49%, less than three years left on the loan. I have a black on white which I really love. In order to qualify for the $7,500 I need to either go stealth grey on white or black on black (I would most likely go black on black even though grey helps hide paint defects). I just put new rubber on the car (of course). Tesla is offering me $28k for the trade (not a hard number yet) which makes the trade in a wash. My payments will be within a few dollars of each other though I'll pay more in interest overall. I like the ventilated seats and the new front end. Not sure if the battery pack is the same as my existing one, HP seems to be the same? Am I stupid for considering this?

I haven’t seen @Zilla91 since April 17th? Hope he is Ok?

I have no USS with EAP, can anyone advise when Autopark should be available???
or what version of Software should have it?

EAP customers have had the car for upto 18 months and paid for EAP with 60% of features still missing.
I mainly got it for the Summon and Smart Summon feature, but who knows when that will arrive, especially when they cant get the simple stuff right.

I have a 10 cm dent on the bottom of a Model X boot (photo below). Tesla's body shop quoted $6,757 to repair it (some $4,811 for labour). I'm hesitant to make an insurance claim given premiums have been doubling each year and it's a $2,000 excess. Can anyone suggest a reasonable Sydney-based repair option?

Hi,

I'm (28YO) getting my license and have to buy a car in advance so I can continue driving on my own immediately after passing the driving test. Would you recommend the Model 3 for a P-plater? Everyone keeps telling me to buy a dumpster on wheels as my first car... Even if I crash, wouldn't comprehensive insurance cover the repair?

Sorry if this was answered before, I really tried searching.

My factory reset option is greyed out (see pic below). Other threads here and on reddit indicate that this may have something to do with FSD Beta + FSD subscription, and that the only way past it is to bring the car into a service center to have them reset it. I'm selling the car private party tomorrow, so I don't have time to mess with scheduling a service appointment. What all do I need to remove?

• Bluetooth audio - unpaired all devices
• Wifi - forgot networks near my house. Unfortunately, networks that aren't currently nearby don't show up, so I guess the buyer could hop on my parents Wifi in the future if they wanted lol
• Keys - deleted phone keys
• Homelink - removed all saved
• Cleared browser data

My cloud profile and all associated data is still showing up (home, recent addresses, Spotify login, etc), but my wife's disappeared when I removed her as a driver. i'm assuming that mine and associated data will disappear when I transfer the car off of my account as well?

Anything I'm forgetting? Anyone else have this issue?

Hey all! First time poster, new (used) Tesla 2016.5 Model S owner here. So far the forums been great, hoping to get a little help.

So, I love the car, but the A/C is only working while the car is moving. I live in NC, and with summer around the corner this is not looking good!
My question is, is this normal? I’ve read other posts mentioning the car sending A/C air to the battery while supercharging at times. But this is happening while charging, while parked, at stoplights etc. It does occasionally work right first thing when I get in (regardless of movement) but on a whole the air only runs cold when I’m driving. Fan moves air, everything seems to be fine otherwise…

Any suggestions or information? Is this the way Teslas A/C is supposed to work?
