    Dashcam Install Help

    It appears the 2018.48.12.1 update has disabled the 12v accessory line when the climate is remotely turned on. I have restarted and tried with Keep Climate on and off, but no luck. Anyone tied to the 12v line experiencing the same thing?

    Dodged a bullet today.

    It took a similar sized tuck traveling the opposite direction two seconds to clear the intersection at speed. The light was green for 4 seconds, allowing the truck to have cleared the intersection twice over at speed. At a lesser speed, it takes the truck about 1 second to go the approximate...

    iPhone cases that can fit 3cards and the charger?

    Have you tried using your existing case and placing the Tesla card in-between your phone and the case? There's no reason to take the card out, so you could keep it where you don't need to readily access it.

    BlackVue b-124 battery sometimes won’t charge itself from 12v cig outlet - anyone else?

    Before a hard reset with the foot pedal would fix the issue. Now, only a power cycle will reset what I think to be the virtual fuses. I've tried mentally to powerdown once a week to see if that would help mitigate the problem. Only been trying for a week or so, so nothing definitive yet...

    BlackVue b-124 battery sometimes won’t charge itself from 12v cig outlet - anyone else?

    I have the same setup hardwired to the 12v outlet and since I updated to v9 the random non-charging has started to happen more and more. I have a short commute to work so I do not get a full charge on either way, so I've employed the remote climate function to top off the battery mid day...

    Dashcam Install Help

    What you might consider doing is both a hardwire set up to the 12V and also one to the B-124. Throw in a toggle switch for "airport mode" to power off the 12V battery and switch back to the 124 for daily driving.

    Twice window has not lowered when opening.

    Any solution on this? My rear passenger has started to intermittently not drop the window when opening from the outside. Can't pinpoint an exact case scenario to reproduce, seems totally random right now.

    $2500 CA Rebate Experience?

    Very good point. My peabrain finds it hard to wrap around the notion of living on 36-49k upon retirement but I chalk that up to living here in the Bay Area ($117k is considered "low-income"). You figure once you own your home you just need to worry about property taxes and daily expenses.

    $2500 CA Rebate Experience?

    Sorry, didn't mean to put you or anyone else down. Was just making a general statement based on spending a years salary on a vehicle at one time (not accounting for the fact of taking a loan out, saving over several years, etc.) Living in the Bay Area on 70k at times seems like it should be...

    $2500 CA Rebate Experience?

    I highly doubt that anyone buying a Model 3 would fall into the 300% category. If they do, then they need to get their priorities straight. Granted, a family of 4 with two kids and a stay at home parent could sneak into this range but again, priorities...

    Now possible to schedule mobile service online

    They've had this option for a month or two now (as far as I know). Wanted to bring the car in to the service center to talk to someone so initially decided against mobile service appointment online. Got a phone call the next day saying they would like to send someone out instead. Bay Area...

    First World Problems Extraordinaire

    No amount of (practical) tech would be able to tell that a wire is unplugged. From an electrical standpoint, the resistance drop between points would alert us to a wire break but that would require sensors at every connection point to determine where a break is.

    I was a misread of the release notes, I thought the same thing when I read it too. Had to do with "Region-based Motion Detection" and "Activate/deactivate Parking Mode".

    First World Problems Extraordinaire

    Had my mirror replaced for not being able to adjust. Replacement did not work either. After working with the mobile tech, I noticed a loose wire in the wiring harness. Lo and behold the wire to control the mirror direction had come out of the harness so that solved that issue. Didn't have...

    Just downloaded and installed and we're out of luck. There is no power off feature in 1.004 whatsoever. Only additions are the timelapse which will decrease power consumption as @ranova pointed out, motion detection selection, and rear camera mirror view. Guess my weekend project wasn't for...

    Don't Give Tesla a Black Eye by Stealing Electricity

    That wasn't the question I asked. I asked if you talked to the person that the owner of the Model 3 talked to. Unless you talked to every person at City Hall (or the Park and Rec Dept., et all) then there is still a chance that he did receive permission from someone to charge there. Case and...

    Dashcam Install Help

    Finally had a free weekend to build and install the wireless relay based loosely on @HankLloydRight's design. I placed the wireless relay in-between my Blackvue Power Magic Ultra and the dashcam. Used 4P Molex connectors so its a straight swap in/out on the battery. Had to route the antenna...

    Did you Finance or pay in full?

    Could have paid in full but financed $35k for 23 months at 0.99%. Put the money that I would have spent on the car in a high interest account and am getting close to 2% for a net 1% return.

    Tinting Rear Window on Model 3

    Had OCDetailing tint the rear in 50% and no problems with reflections nor seeing outside. Dash cam also has no issue with the rear tint.

    Why are some M3s fully wrapped for delivery and others not?

    I’m less than 50 miles from the factory so my car was delivered to me. When talking on the phone I found out that my Model 3 was already stored here in the city and that it was bagged/covered. I asked if they could leave it on for the drive over, which they tried to do but were forced to remove...

    Side View Mirror Park Issue

    Sorry to thread jack, but when they replaced your Model 3 mirror, did they replace the entire mirror housing or just the components inside? Mine is getting wrapped right now and the passenger side mirror will not adjust, mirror folds fine but it’s stuck in the same position that it was delivered...

    Dashcam Install Help

    Just got back from my installer. They said they no longer hard wire to the battery as their customers have still said they get 12V battery issues. For mine they will be wiring to the 12V cig port. Once I get it back I'll figure somewhere to splice in my switch once I see how they ran things.

    Delivery Experience

    I had an initial good line of communication with my ISA to start things out. After we got to financing and I had everything from my credit union, I have not heard back from her for over two weeks now.

    Who are people calling?

    So I haven't heard from my ISA for two weeks. Won't return emails or phone calls. Bank hasn't received any paperwork for the loan and my VIN was assigned back when the Tesla Shop trick worked. Is my only recourse the 1 888 number?

    What Should I Tell the Tint Installer re: the Automatic Window Movements ?

    Most shops know how to trick the door into thinking its closed by placing something in the door latch. Door latch registers as being closed and the window goes up. No need for manual door release.

    Yes, the ground is the same ground for everything. No, it won't cause an issue as you don't need to worry about isolating any of the grounds. DC voltage is just the difference between ground and the high value point. The output voltage that the Blackvue battery and the cigarette adapter put...

    Possible to trickle charge motorcycle off Model 3 12v?

    The problem that individuals have been having with tapping the 12V is the Model 3 does not like anything taking 12V power without it knowing bout it. This is the issue that almost everyone is having when they tap the 12V line to power their dashcams in parking mode. After a few months the car...

    Possible to trickle charge motorcycle off Model 3 12v?

    A step down transformer would lower the line voltage from 240v down to 120v. You would plug this in between the wall outlet and your trickle charger. Given that you've installed a HPWC, there wouldn't be an outlet to plug anything in to. You would need to have your electrician install an...

I have excellent credit so I was able to get the 0.99% rate, but I don't have any previous loans to my name so they wouldn't loan me the full...
