In the other thread someone said they got a special firmware that fixed their issues, and that the version after 2024.3.25 should include it for all cars. Model 3 powered trunk retrofit causing intermittent cabin climate control system failure Here's hoping!

This is great news. My car is on 2024.3.25 but the non special version. I guess I'll plug the connector back in before I do the next update and hope for the best.

My connection started having serious issues earlier this year. Days without connection. Then it was fine for a couple months... now recently I'll go days without connection, and then it'll come back, but drop periodically during the drive. Then go out for days again. Doing the service mode...

At some point my car stopped connecting to LTE at all, so now I can't even tell if it's sleeping or not because the wifi antenna on the car is so weak and the connection isn't strong. But hey, I updated to 2024.3.25 after losing 10% of battery in a day.

You seem to be less upset about your misfortune than I am. I would be raising hell.

Absolute insanity. Imagine this happened out of warranty and then they revealed after thousands and thousands in repairs that it was the retrofit.

So when that happened, the version was 2024.3.15. A bit later the car got another update, which said 2024.3.15, and after installation it said 2024.3.14 in the display, but TeslaMate/app are showing 2024.3.15 Car still doesn't sleep. Going to disconnect it again.

I plugged the connector back in mid downloading of the update and the update vanished lol

Doesn't seem to cause any other ill effects. Definitely not worth keeping the car awake 24/7 and possibly causing other issues.

Could be a situation like mine too where I didn't have issues for months after getting it installed. Then I decided to wait for a firmware update since that's what they told me to do before looking in to it further. Just all around awful service and communication from Tesla, as usual.

Really appreciate this thread. I got the retrofit done last year around october and didn't have any issues till near the end of February where the car all of a sudden stopped wanting to sleep. I never saw any of the errors, but I did put in a ticket with Tesla who only told me it was a known...

Yes, but not immediately. I think there is some buffer like 1-3% before it will top off the charge.

Probably don't need to precondition anywhere near 41 mins. I've never had the cabin take more than 15 minutes (probably even less tbh) to get up to temp from below freezing, and unless you're doing it to melt snow it's probably just wasting energy. Preconditioning the battery for increased...

Set charge limit to 50% and plug it in, should be fine. If you can't leave it plugged in, charge it to 90% and turn off everything, probably including mobile access.

It honestly isn't wasting any of my time. Mobile service came out and fixed it while I was working, and I barely drive now and situations requiring defrost aren't so common during those few times that I do drive which is why it took me so long to figure out that he didn't actually fix anything.
