    Model 3 Highland or Model Y?

    model 3 does have trunkspace but the parcelshelf is annoying. cant fit any bulky objects.

    Interior db comparison 2023 M3P & Highland

    i saw a video on it and there wasnt that much difference except for the wind noise which was less and db number a bit lower. The issue is that the really annoying model 3 noise is the tire noise getting transmitted through the chassis. and that is megaannoying. The wind noise doesnt matter that...

    New headlights retrofit

    when did tesla start using the matrix lights? gonna have a bit of a look on ebay and see if theres anything cheap to snatch. for <300usd i may be tempted.

    New headlights retrofit

    i just seem to recall that there were people fitting the lights and couldnt get them to work and tesla wasnt of much help saying the wireness harness wasnt compatible. but maybe im wrong. i just remember it wasnt straight forward. or maybe i confused it with the steering wheel retrofit.

    New headlights retrofit

    so the whole new harness required is irrelevant. Just install new headlights and beg tesla to set the "matrix headlight" setting to "on" on your car?

    Legality of the after-market yokes?

    Australia is weird because they have similar regulations to europe but generally dont enforce anything except for exceeding the speed limit - and they do so very strictly. no such thing as like driving 150 in a 110 like in the uk etc... People drive similar to the USA i.e. lanehog, swerve, play...

    New headlights retrofit

    sorry i am a bit out of touch with this thread. I thought retrofitting wasnt possible because the wirering hardness had to be replaced? did you upgrade the wireing harness? if so, is that just the harness coming from the front of the car or is this a major upgrade which is a) expensive and b)...

    Legality of the after-market yokes?

    in usa probably not an issue. In europe... dont even think about it. In Australia likely illegal but noone cares about anything here as long as you arent exceeding the speed limit. everything else goes.

    Lowering springs for Model 3 Highland

    excessive lowering is obviously unsafe for you and other drivers but i might add here that model 3 has a VERY high rideheight and even if you lower it by 2.5 cm or so (like an inch) you are still higher than stock BMW and would easily pass a european inspection with that....

    An Audio guys impression of the Model 3 Highland LR

    Battery charges to 80% then jumps to 83% 30 mins later

    thats normal. means the battery isnt calibrated and you have to wait to the next battery calibration. If it charges to 80% but then compares itself to the voltage table and jumps to 83% the car presumes you have more range than you actually do. I would just keep driving, eventually the car will...

    Would a Performance with 18" aero wheels (e.g. FastEV EV01+) and LRR tires be like a LR in economy and range?

    Model 3 SR+ LFP Battery Range, Degradation, etc Discussion

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    the ac compressor comes on as it is air conditioning, not heating or cooling. The car also cannot reliably set the air conditioner to the temperature you set inside the cabin. This depends on the humidty of the air. humid air will have to be frozen, dried and then heated back up.

    Why not show estimated range (based on recent driving trends) instead of rated range?

    Why not show estimated range (based on recent driving trends) instead of rated range?

    i used to do lots of semi hypermiling as the charging infrastructure used to be very poor in australia and rated range was always very useful. when you start skimming towards 0% youd basically either a) slow down to 90kmh and hit rated range or b) observe the shrinking rated range vs range to...

    Why no Automatic Rear Heated Seats?

    auto is largely used to heat through the seats when they are cold and they generally have a tendency to be switched off after the heat through period unless its very cold. Its not really designed to give you a warm bum per se. in fact in general theyll switch themselves off once you have driven...

    Can I stuff acoustic foam behind the door speakers?

    you mean the big woofer? i wouldnt call those midbass, they produce the majority of subbass in the car and that also unfortunately means more rattles.

    Teslamate projected range down about 2% within just a month of purchase - M3LR

    Retrofit heated steering wheel ?

    ironically its not really needed in heat pump cars. the only way to get it on older cars is to use a canbus server and i.e. link that up to one of the seat heaters. retrofit isnt possible as such as the wireing harness is different

    Teslamate projected range down about 2% within just a month of purchase - M3LR

    oh i dont know about the more modern cars. there is technically a hidden buffer. maybe read it out with teslafi. My car sits most of the time at 50% or less but my old battery was just crap. there is pretty good evidence battery lottery is more important than anything else.

    Vendor Teslogic — Mobile Instrument Cluster for Tesla Model 3/Y

    may take some time? The old 310 miles cars do have a hidden buffer, I think 100% range is at 74kwh but the car starts with 78.8kwh so you need to get some degradation before your 100% range actually goes down....
