Just replaced mine with Trico Flex 650mm and 475mm and was very pleased with them till I realised that it leaves a thin gap about 10cm high and a1 cm wide at the bottom of the windscreen between the two wipers in front of the passenger. Turns out the Tesla originals are 660mm wide (26 inches) on...

Is it just me, or do those of you with pre heat pump model 3’s find that the new energy app always shows 50% of climate energy usage being excessive energy use versus trip projection, no matter how low the climate temp is set (climate set as low as circa 18 degree Celsius / 65 degree Fahrenheit...

Thanks Adopado, that’s reassuring that’s it’s not just me then. Annoying change.

Up until recently my Tesla app (iPhone) used to show the expected displayed range in km/miles on my 2020 Model 3 SR+ if you held down the the charge limit slider and held it at a chosen %. This stopped a month or two ago though and I only see the charge limit % now. From what I’ve heard this...

I’m with ALD Ireland and the subscribe option has just now been added to the app for me. Premium Connectivity is the only option availabile.

Sent this at the same time as your reply. Still hoping the change to 72kg is correct (given it is showing in my car as 72kg) but suspect it is a mistake by Tesla.

Hmmm, so it does. I’m wondering now is it incorrectly copied over from the Model Y manual which is showing 72kg in the online manual. But then again it specifically says Model 3 I’m the text. Is the manual in the car screen still showing 55kg for yours?

Weight limit has been increased to 72kg in the online manual in the car. Great news.

So I charged fully to 100% in my July 2020 Model 3 SR+, unplugged and immediately drove non stop on the motorway for 224 km and was now at 7% battery. BUT, the car says I have used 42 kWh since last charge. That suggests I have a useable battery of 45 kWh for 100%. I understood my car should...

This is probably a stupid question, but its something I've been wondering for a long time. It seems to be almost accepted that non-supercharger chargers will routinely break down on a regular basis, and that it is hit and miss as to whether they will be working properly when you arrive and go...

I’ve just bought the Tesla roof bars, and will only be using them 3 or 4 times a year for family holidays etc. Not keen on leaving the adhesive pads on in between, as I’ve yet to see any on a review video that have gone on cleanly (and even when they are installed well they still look fairly...

You can buy the upgrades on a leased car Tesla Service Centre with a credit card. I did it for the rear heated seats on my SR+ and they told me they can do the same for FSD. by the way it hasn’t appeared on mine either though.

Just noticed that the official 2 bike tow hitch rack has a stated 54kg max cargo weight. How does that tally with the 55kg limit inclusive of rack weight (assuming the rack weighs more than 1kg!!)? Seems to suggest the 55kg limit in the manual is just wrong.

The charge cable on my BMW 330e had a rubber cap on the end to protect it from the weather when not plugged in to the car. Both my UMC charger and type 2 charge cable that came with my Model 3 don’t have any caps. Are they actually resistant to rust etc and don’t need a cap, or should they not...

I’ve been looking for the same and noticed this CTEK one on a Harry’s Garage video recently. Looks quite neat. It’s at 1 minute 40 seconds here...

I received this from them today. I’m a happy man as I would have been peeved to lose the connectivity. “As the leasing company is the legal owner of the vehicle and we currently have some issues when it comes to offering this as purchase for leasing customers, the Premium Connectivity should...

I got mine today. I don’t have a MagSafe, but it says on the box it is 9v x 3 amps from the usb c. Fast charges a galaxy s9 on the wireless pad still. Not sure this is any help, but sharing just in case.

Thanks jamherber. What’s their email address? Been searching through the website and can’t for the life of me find it! Found the Tesla Account email, but I think that’s a different one. Would love to get this confirmed for my car.

That’s interesting. Was it Tesla confirmed this for you? In a service centre or through customer service?

Yes, that’s my experience anyway.

Just to bring my issue to a close, I had the car in with the service centre to fix some delivery issues today and had this issue on the list. Not sure what they did to it, but the dashcam is now working fine for me, and the problem is solved. Assume there was some sort of software issue that has...

I’ve just had my leased car in for some warranty work. I pushed the issue with them, as I wanted to pay to unlock the rear heated seats and also to subscribe to premium connectivity. They told me they can do once off payment upgrades (heated rear seats, FSD, etc) in the service centre with...

Sorry yes, it is Wh/km rather than kWh/100km. My mistake. I’ll check again when I get the car back tonight or tomorrow if my memory is correct, but fairly sure that’s where it is averaging. Impacted by heating the car on a 6km / 4 mile drive to work now n city traffic and same back again...

I had exactly the same. Took me a few days to work it out though! Thought it was just my car but clearly not.

Thanks both. Suspect it is my driving style that is the biggest contributor alright!

Hi, I’ve clocked up about 600km on my new SR+ and have it in with Tesla today to get some delivery issues sorted. They’ve given me a Performance (locked in chill mode!) as a courtesy car. Driving the same route to and from work I’m getting about 195 KWh/100km in the performance, but have been...

I’ve the same problem. My 30 days free is up in a few weeks. Tesla told me the lease company has to do the subscription as they are the owner, but they have no interest in it. Seems mad that Tesla aren’t set up to take our money. Interested to hear if you find a solution.

Tried the reboot. Also just got the update to 2020.40.4 and still the same. Sentry recordings still working fine when I check the viewer. Will have to get the Tesla service centre to check it next time it is in there.

I’ve a leased car without the upgrades option in the app. Been reading through here but can’t work it out. Is there any way for me to subscribe to Premium Connectivity or buy the rear heated seats, unless my lease company agrees to do it themselves? Seems crazy Tesla haven’t found a way to...

Ok I’m completely puzzled now. Tried a usb flash thumb drive. Exactly the same problem. Tried pressing down the dashcam symbol until it flashed. Nothing changed and the red dot still didn’t come up. Tried tapping it and same result. And yet as soon as I stop and press park it happily starts...

Thanks, held it for a reasonable period, but will try again tomorrow for a bit longer.

Yeah definitely FAT32. Starts recording only when I park up (sentry mode symbol comes on and the red dot on the dashcam appears). I can view those recordings, but they are the only ones on the SSD. But only have the white dashcam logo with no red dot when driving, an no attempt at pressing...

Can’t seem to get my dashcam to record. I’ve got a 500gb sandisk extreme SSD, it is formatted to FAT32 with a TeslaCam sub directory, it records fine for Sentry Mode, and the dashcam symbol comes up on the screen in white (no red dot), but no matter what I do I can’t get the dashcam to start...
