Yes. Tesla customer service is the worst in the business. I cannot call them, I cannot email them, I cannot open a chat. It is like they are out of business. They want your money but then give no support at all. If you have a question and you do not have a day to search for an answer, you are...

To clarify the comments above: your car will recognize the blue tooth but not the older rf type sensors. The were made obsolete in 2018. All Tesla would have to do is to program their computer to recognize either one, but no, Tesla woudl rather spend time and money putting fart sounds in the...

I now know the answer. Tesla changed the sensors after 2018 and my 3 is a 2021. I was using older wheels and tires. It will cost $75 to change the sensor in each wheel. It is much cheaper to just buy standard tires and put on the original wheels and use it that way. Tesla delar wants $350 for...

I have a 2021 3 and swapped out wheels and cannot reset the tpm. I will try to lower air pressure and then reinflate and see if that helps. But I am not confident. The service people at Tesla are not very smart. I realize all they do is click a mouse to try to see what your problem is and then...

Thank you everyone. I now understand how it works. I can certainly understand why your would not want power at the plug when not plugged in. I have a 240 50 amp in my garage and I use the charger that came with the car, But I want to add a hard wired charger so that I do not have to plug and...

Thanks Matthew, do you know if the charge limiter is part of that or is the logic to control the charge level part of the car converter inside the car?

I thought the converter was inside that box but I think the converter is inside the car itself.

Can anyone tell me what is inside the box on my Tesla 3 charge cable? Why not just run a cord without the box?

You are correct on that one. I had set the mirror tilt off but it still tilted. Apparently I did not save the change. I think it now works correctly.

tomas, Thank you. However, there are no suggestions to fix issues that are built into a product. There are no suggestion to fix the phantom braking. ANY driver knows how to handle a sudden occurance (phantome braking, tire blow out, engine stopping etc), my comment addressed specific faults that...

Skydog, I think your list of deficiencies is correct. However, here is why I can live with them and love my Tesla 1) Smooth power. In every piston engine car or truck there is hesitation when accelerating to approaching a hill. Not so with Tesla. It has smooth instant power that makes driving a...

"It looks like the point of this thread is to proclaim that Tesla has poor engineering. We got it. It also looks like you are the only one who sees excuses in our answers. By the way, my understanding is that in V10 Tesla will implement FSD graphics that will provide a much better and reliable...

This happens on my 3 also. What I do not understand is why the great and masterful Musk has not addressed this yet. I have other gas cars with adaptive cruise and they never do this. I guess Tes;la has some catching up to do.

I think most of you missed the point of my thread. I could have filled the page with things I like about my 3. I was listing things that could have been simple fixes by Tesla that were overlooked. Then came the excuses. Also, Tesla may be the leader in EV's but they are not the only player in...

I don't think so.

Agreed. But all pf your suggestions are just excuses for poor engineering. Look at what you said and it is similar to this: "My new car jerks to the lft but since I know it happens everyonce ina awhile, I just get ready for it", or how about this, "just set your mirror tilt to off"....;well in...

Another person making excuses for poor engineering. True, you and a handful of others may like the tilted mirrors. But the MAJORITY do not. Another excuse for poor engineering from Tesla. If you ever purchased any other newer vehicle you would know they have great blind spot detection. Not Tesla.

You (and others) seem to be making excuses for poor engineering by Tesla. I know how to turn my head or use the outside mirrors properly. My complain is that there is no dead spot detection. The GNC Acadia (and other mfgs) have a simple and safe warning for a dead spot. Not Tesla.

Yes, that turn signal issue is another simple fix that Tesla seems to ignore. The car is engineered super well so why did they seem to ignore that one?

I have had my 3 for about a month and here are a few things that Tesla should have fixed long ago. First, the cruise will suddenly stop and come to a halt if you do not take action to keep going. Mine will actually begin braking on an open road with no one near me. Since the Tesla is a...

I think I see my mistake. The "adapter" that is referred to is a pig tail. That is, it will plug into the charger box and then into a specific voltage outlet. The 5-15 that came with the car is not used. Unfortunately, Tesla is out of stock for the adapter bundle. All I need is the specific...

Thank you 10k, JJ, and maskedracer. You have helped me understand much better. I just wanted a little faster charger than the 110 (I call it 120) that came with the car, and yes it came with the 1772 adapter. I was confused partly because the standard 120 v three prong plug, as I understood...

Thank you srs6694. I think I understand, but please expand on this. I was thinking that you could just plug in a cord to a 240 outlet and then splice into any adapter that plugs into the 3. Apparently that is totally incorrect. I was trying to save the cost of a wall charge plug that you...

I am a new owner and I want to charge faster than the 120v that came with the car. I noticed a pack on the 1120v cord that is apparently a transformer or converter. I do not know. I do notice that the 240v charge adapter does not have a pack in the cord. So my question is what exactly is that...
