I posted a rant about this in another thread the other day: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/windshield-wipers-come-on-when-i-go-into-cruise-control.275516/page-3#post-7565788 I'm just here to add and vent my frustration with this on my 2018 Model 3 It's one thing to have auto-wipers...

I'm just here to add and vent my frustration with this on my 2018 Model 3 It's one thing to have auto-wipers and auto-high beams when double tapping the stock to engage autopilot, autosteer, or FSD. I don't argue with that because yes, the camera needs to see. But don't force that irritation...

I have the same ones and they've been holding up well. Like @KenC said, in 2018 there were limited options. Additionally, they go well with the carbon fiber spoiler.

2018 M3P+ here, lifetime Wh/km is 220 which equates to about 354 Wh/mile. Canadian winters don't help .. but neither do the track days!

I see a lot of people talking about regen and that's great .. if you have it! If the temps are cold enough you lose regen until the battery can warm up. It's currently -17C (1.4F) and going down to -30C (-22F) tonight. We just came off a storm that dumped an average of 38cm (15") of snow in...

Not sure, I have an android phone and cannot say if apple phones function similarly. Maybe someone here with a NFC equipped apple phone can verify?

Mildly related: For those not aware, if your phone has NFC and is setup as a key, you can tap your phone on the B pillar like you would a key card to lock/unlock the car. While my phone has no issues 95% of the time, the few times it does act up, I just tap to get in and it usually reconnects by...

I wish fog lights could be activated by voice command as I only use mine when it's foggy.

I am now getting Telus as my ISP and speed was about 20 down and 25 up. It was on Rogers when I first got the car, not sure when the switch happened.

Yes, they are using Rogers now but a mobile tech has told me Tesla has made a new deal with Telus and will be switching over. Car connected to LTE this morning just fine so not sure what the problem was the past two days.

Anyone else experiencing cellular issues lately? My car has been disconnected for two days now. Not sure if it's just me or a wider problem with Rogers. Car connects to WiFi just fine. Did do a restart.

The only reason we're going to switch to tiered is that we're working from home. Still going to charge the car overnight, but it means it will cost 2.3 cents more than TOU. I did not see the distinction between summer 600kW and winter 1000kW so I will have to double check my usage in the summer.

Lowering the price to $800.

Set of 18" x 8.5" FlowOne F3 wheels in gloss black. Fits Model 3 Performance with Performance breaks. Great choice for someone wanting to run 18" winters on the Model 3 Performance or just to look different from other Model 3s. Used for two winters but are in great condition. One wheels has...

I was told by a mobile tech some time ago that a lot of bluetooth issues were a result of phone cases, regardless of material. Maybe worth trying your phone without a case to see.

Yes, this does need to be verified. Right now everyone is making the assumption that they are based on the idea that the Y is being built on the same platform as the 3 and 75% of the parts are supposed to be the same. Maybe Munro's teardown of the Y will reveal that sooner than later.

You say that, but DragTimes came out with a video on March 29th showing the Model Y performance makes about 45hp more than the Model 3 performance. In the video he does ask if the 3 will have access to that extra power. He makes an error about the battery size, but corrects himself in the...

As you're in the Toronto area, I went to Fabian over at Evelyn Protective Films in Markham. He's worked on a lot of Model 3s and is well reviewed.

It was -17°C (+1°F) this morning and warmed up to a balmy -7°C (19°F)!

Heard you guys like dots...

I can't comment on how the event was as I didn't attend, but as I did do a HPDE in June, I can comment on charging at Calabogie. Your concerns are very valid! Charging was a losing battle over the course of the day. On my HPDE day, there was only myself and a Model S that showed up so we had...

It been a month now since the replacement spoiler has been put on and it's holding ok. Like @N54TT I have about 1mm on the drive side that I can compress, but it doesn't seem like it will be easy to detach. Here are some photos. A Canadian dime is about 1.2mm thick. Driver Side...

@SumaPerformance What about a tasteful set of carbon fiber mud guards? I have a set of Protect My Tesla carbon fiber splash guards and I doubt they'll hold up this winter. They way they are secured with double sided tape is the biggest problem. The contact patch for the tape isn't very big.

I back into the garage as well so the rear of the car is face it when I leave, but I've never had an issue with it closing... Until V10 when it just doesn't send the signal.

Whether it's Tesla manufacturing or a contractor for them was not brought up or hinted at so I can't say.

This is what I've experienced too.

The tech did end up installing one. So far it looks good, but it's been raining so I can't really take a good photo. Certainly better than the previous install. After, the tech did mention that although the part number might be the same, what happened was Tesla was trying to pump out so...

There's no new revision, the part number is the same as last time, ending in -00. Manufacturing date of May 25th, 2019. I ask him to do a dry fit and if it doesn't look like it's going to install nice, not to bother.

I've got an appointment tomorrow for a replacement spoiler and the mobile tech said he got a batch in of a new revision. My first install was a 00, so I'll try and see if there's a different part number on the new one.

True, that's why I just keep the car in chill mode all winter. I ran the Xi3 all last winter with no issues. When things are messy and you have no regen, you'll much prefer the added traction of the Xi3. For those places that receive more snow and ice during the winter, the Xi3 is a better...

Hope they also have this option for the 19" or 20" on the Y.

@EW20 - Glad to hear you're happy with it. :) Things may have changed in how that area is assembled as my wires were not attached! They were directly behind the cap so yes, I just moved them aside within the opening. If it is reasonably easy to detach the wires, I would do so as it seems like...

Drawing is now up on OnShape. One of the tabs at the bottom is a PDF, right click and select download.

I agree with @RayK that with those without access to a 3D printer, 3DHubs.com is probably the best place to find someone local who will offer 3D print services. That being said, with the CAD model in the link I provided, you can look at all the dimensions and if inclined, make one out of wood...

I'm using Windows 10. Also, glad to see the full video resolution is up on youtube now!

Any recommendations on a good editing program? I have all the videos on my system, but GoPro likes to brake things up into these 8min clips. On top of that, the GoPro Quik software is awful. This is my coworker's camera so I don't have much experience with it. I just tried to upload one 8min...

For those that might be interested, I modeled a 3D printable part that fits in the eyelet of the tow hook so an action cam can be securely mounted. Some additional washers and a bolt are also required. First, here's the link to the model on OnShape where you can download the STL file for your...

I bought the carbon fiber mud flaps from protectmytesla. They work well but the installation method isn't as easy as the video makes it out to be. Will take a few photos and write up a review.

I was wondering if anyone can answer if it's safe to put a suction cup camera mount on the interior of the glass roof? Just want to make sure the UV and IR rejection properties of the glass aren't a layer like a regular tint. I have tint on my windows (sides and rear) and I know putting the...

In your photo you can see some of the adhesive made contact at the tip, but like mine, it certainly wasn't enough to hold it. If the RPM Tesla spoiler is an exact replica and fits better, Tesla should make them the actual supplier!

No idea to be honest. Maybe more of the adhesive let go when the spoiler sprung back after being forced into position overnight? It's carbon fiber, I can't see it warping due to heat/sun. It hasn't even been that sunny here.

When it was first done, I'd say it was about 1.5mm as well, but since then, after measuring with some calipers, it's 3.3mm (just over 1/8"). The issue seems to be that the adhesive is there, but it's not contacting the body so there's nothing holding it in place. I can push on it and make it...

My spoiler was install Tuesday as scheduled. Mobile tech only brought one and I'm not too happy with the fit. Right side doesn't contact very well. Tech knew about the issue, but as he only brought one, sort of passed it off as this just how it is. Going to try and get it replaced.

If I didn't have plans, I would certainly do this. Actually looking at the HPDE late June. Anyone take a Model 3 around the track yet?

When there is a problem, most of the time it's my right repeater that has 0MB files, but there have been instances where the right is fine and it's the left repeater with 0MB files. Sometimes the right or left repeater file sizes are small and the video is pixelated, other times everything...

Got a call from my mobile service tech that he got seven in. Scheduled to be installed on Tuesday. So they're making their way to east end of Canada. Ottawa area at least.

For those looking to experiment with different springs, a place like McMaster-Carr has a large selection.

Bought my frunk and trunk cargo liners from @Joe Car Stuff and did not have to pay any extra brokerage charges. They were shipped UPS as well, but shipping costs, which included import fees, were $29US.

Just ordered these, thanks for the link!
