    '21 MYP How To Turn Off Regen Braking?

    I have a 2020 M3 and have slipped a few times in the snow and ice. Normally I will turn the setting to low if it's snowing pretty heavily or if they haven't taken care of the roads yet. I like the regen and pretty much drive with one pedal but in the winter I think it would be a good idea to...

    Gen 3 Wall Connector

    For like 8 months I used that 120V cord that came with my Model 3 and paid 35 bucks for the 14-50 adapter so I could charge at 240v and it was rock solid. I think I was getting like 30-35 miles an hour charge speed and was very happy. They offer tons of different adapters and it just replaced...

    Gen 3 Wall Connector

    The HomeCharging email support never got back with me. I ended up calling the support line, I'll have to re-post the number and they found that the firmware never fully installed. They attempted to push the new firmware after about 3 hours and it successfully installed but still overheated...

    Gen 3 Wall Connector

    Was getting the full 48a for the first three months. Now I am having problems and still waiting for "HomeCharging" support to get back to me. I've dialed back to 32a and it's making it though the night so far. Using 6 Gauge wire a 60amp Siemens circuit breaker. Does anyone know when they...

    18' Wall Connector...ALLLMMMMOOOSSST Long Enough

    I saw some Gen 2 Chargers set up outside of a building once. They were creative about it and it looked like they buried a 6x6 post in the ground, mounted two chargers back to back and put a decorative hat/roof on the set up. The parking spot was like 20 feet or so away from the building so...

    HPWC retrofit calamity

    I just upgraded my 14-50 plug to a Gen3 wall connector and left the neutral wire coiled up neatly inside the new body of the charger. I followed the bottom entry mount and the new Gen3 leaves a good amount of space for what looks like this wire and has a perfect wire channel for the heavy...

    HPWC/breaker almost caught fire...thoughts?

    I didn't see the wire for the HPWC's breaker in that pic. The wires in your box all looks pretty small, gauge that is. I just ran a 14-50 style plug on my home and plan to upgrade to a HPWC someday but the wire that I ran was thick as hell. I'm going to go check my breaker tonight when I'm...

    Paint "topper" /sealant question

    I fell for the facebook add and tried F11 on my truck and now on my M3. Been pretty happy with both vehicles with the shine and the water beading off but now looking into TopCoat. The F11 seemed to last about 2 months before it would need the "touch" up product or wash and then would look...

    2020 Model 3 Tesla Trade In Values

    I wouldn't mind the loss if they transferred the FSD credit to the new vehicle. I just don't have the performance set up. Love the car, but just not a car person. Thinking the Y would hit that sweet spot.

    2020 Model 3 Tesla Trade In Values

    I just ran my Trade in last night toying with the idea to switch to a model Y. I picked it up in November for 56k, trade in at $42,700 if my image doesn't work. Is there anyway to negotiate, I've picked up quite a few accessories that would go with it and it's in perfect shape. But thinking...

    Advice Needed: Convincing Husband to Go Tesla

    Not to throw a wrench out there but no one discussed charging. Depending on how far you drive daily you'll most likely want to charge at home. I drive about 150 miles a day and I installed just the basic 14-50 (RV Outlet) at my house and I'm charging and gaining about 30 miles an hour as I'm...

    Wow, we need to find another way to heat EVs

    Oh I know, it would just be nice if it was up front vs digging down a little bit. I hate it when I'm driving home and I've gone like 10 miles and 20 have dissipated from the range. Started with my Model 3 in the winter so I can't wait to see how it handle in the summer.

    Wow, we need to find another way to heat EVs

    This might be were the Porsche has the slight advantage, although I haven't really read to much about it so I might be talking out my rear on this one. I thought the Porsche had like a variable gear, like a high/low to allow it to hit that max top speed. I wonder is something like that could...

    M3 SR+ Snow tires how to

    I'm sure Karma will get me for one or two of them but when you have to explain that AWD/4WD doesn't make you safe from slipping.......and when you've been rear ended by someone that twists it as your fault for not having a Mercedes after she smashes into you. Faith in humanity fades...

    Whiteout blizzard conditions: Autopilot or FSD?

    I also live Upstate NY and the weather lately isn't all that bad (2 good storms) but dropped my speed like crazy till the roads get cleared up. I've had my first "Tesla Hate" towards another driver for what they did and it sounds a little like you but I ended up seeing them in a ditch about 30...

    M3 SR+ Snow tires how to

    I lived in the DC/NVA area for years and the snow in MD could be bad only because they get enough of it and don't know how to handle it. Coming from the upstate NY area and seeing the county snow plows in ditches or the rich snobby folks think 4WD/AWD saves them was hilarious. I would agree to...

    Weak WiFi signal

    I have the Google Wifi mesh setup and I'm having problems with it. I love the system in the home and it works great for streaming, games, etc but just don't seem to like the M3. I'm looking at setting up a different network just for the car. The Google Wifi works but it's only getting 1-2...

    OPINION: Model 3 made in China better quality than USA built.

    Real life Winter Model 3 efficiency thread

    New to the site and just picked up my Model 3 LR_AWD two days ago in time for the snow to hit upstate NY. I typically drive 120 miles a day, 60 in each direction. My first day I noticed that I used about 80 miles of range to travel the 60 miles, I did have the heat going around 68 and the...

    MASTER THREAD: 2019.36.2.1 - new HOLD mode and other features

    Why am I still stuck at 2019.31.103.1? Just picked up my AWD LR and it's the older Version. Anyone know of a way to force it to check?

    No Frunk Bag Hooks

    Just picked up my 2020 AWD LW and it did not have the hooks. Spoke with the guy giving me the tour and he mentioned some BS about leaks and how the hooks had been pressing on the frunk compromising the seal. Like someone said I wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't for this thread and never...

    Cost to charge at home

    I'm filling up my truck twice a week at about $50 bucks a fill up. 60 miles to work everyday so 120 minimum daily. I'm going from $400-450 a month plus oil changes. Model 3 on order and still waiting on the VIN, can't wait

    I crashed my new model 3: here’s what I’ve learned so far.

    Why wouldn't they just break in the windows? EMS, Police all have those tools on hand, even a good Rock I'm sure would do the trick.

    Recommended USB drive for dashcam

    Amazon had a sale on the 64GB model of this and I hated it. It created default folders and the connectivity was spotty. It was years ago but I wasn't a fan. I ended up trashing it, Can't say how it would work in the Tesla but just over all I wasn't happy with the SanDisk.

    No VINs in October?

    They must have to switch the production to "European" mode, let the resources run out then before they swap in the "North American" components. Anyone one out there know what the changes would be except the steering wheel on the other side?
