    How to replace Model 3 windshield wiper fluid reservoir?

    Anyone know how to get the wiper fluid tank out? Mine is leaking and I want to try and see if I can find out why (my car is over 50k miles and cost estimate was 306 dollars when I scheduled service) so I was going to see if I could pull the tank myself to take a look- but I can not figure out...

    So it gave me the errors and had to get the 12v replaced a while ago- guess I never updated this. I changed and re routed into the cabin and spliced into the 12v cigarette adapter in center console for and 2nd outlet and have it plugged in hidden in center console and have a battery backup for...

    3 Car Seats in Model 3?

    Nope, 3 daughters, never plan on letting them have friends as that could lead to terrifying things such as- dating. Better to keep them isolated an loaners to keep their dad less stressed :). But yeah, of course when friends or anyone else needs to ride- we will all hop into Phyllis (my wife's...

    Driver-side window auto-open/close not working

    I’ll second the thanks- just had the regulators replaced in my model 3 with mobile service (I hadn’t had issues- but apparently some recall issue with them not being fully waterproff) But the auto close wasn’t working- just did what you said and working like a charm

    Owning Model 3 with 2 kids?

    So I have my 3, and 2 small children in carseats. One is 3.5 years, and so she is forward facing in the 3 (I am 6') and if she was rear facing I could squeeze in but it would be tight. With our younger that is still rear facing for quite a while I have her behind the passenger seat since that is...

    Dashcam Install Help

    Yes, thats what I was implying. I know it wont be hooked up, and I will find an alternative way to power it. I just meant I will be "losing" my current setup of running of 12v battery to give me 24 hours of recording. I will just grab power from in the cabin or something that will only give me...

    Its not just what they write for the dashcam, its the error message for some reason its throwing. My car is currently in the service center for I am fairly certain the same reason. I installed a dash cam about a month ago, a couple days ago got the contact tesla service message. And when I...

    Microphone/Outgoing call poor quality?

    Mine does intermittently- seems to be software as times is is crystal clear, times its super bad, but typically if i hang up and re-call it will fix. Also occasionally my end of call is super scratchy and terrible, also fixes with either re-call or at worse restart screen.

    Why I am okay with losing the $7500 tax credit

    So I took delivery of my car about 6 weeks ago (obv have the LR version). And I thought I wouldn't care about the SR battery, and was considering it until my current car decided to die and it pushed up my need for a car till sooner. My typical work commute is about 50 miles each way (but there...

    Dash cam DIY install Model 3

    So the power via those usb jacks are only powered on while car on/driving. There has been no found constant 12v power supply when parked in the cabin (hence me going in the frunk). The camera pulls such little juice relative to the battery, to me it was worth it- so if I am parked and someone...

    Dash cam DIY install Model 3

    I'll take some in the morning- not much to see- once it cooled- just a slightly deformed 10mm socket with a nut fused inside. It also caused the oil in the socket to leak out- but that wont show on pictures. I took the car for some nice long drives, tested everything I could think of, and...

    Dash cam DIY install Model 3

    Well, I got constant power wired- so figured I would update the thread, took care of it today and all in all was pretty easy (with one notable exception detailed below that should allow you to all laugh at my misfortune). Once I pulled the cover off the battery area in the frunk (just about 6...

    Well, got my car back tonight, they said they just needed to update the firmware on the touchscreen, which brought her back to life. So far drove the hour home without issue (and thank goodness got autopilot back for the traffic on the way home).

    Did they wire a 12 cigarette lighter to the battery and plug the dash cam into that? Or cut the power cord of dashcam and directly wire it?

    Touchscreen broken today

    Sounds kinda similar to my model 3... but mine was a bit worse (just dropped off at service center so don’t yet know what was wrong) However for me it was as if the screen wasn’t communicating with the car- the screen wasn’t “frozen” and I could open any menu- but nothing on the screen would...

    Dash cam DIY install Model 3

    I think I will be using the 12v battery in the frunk- just waiting for someone else to do writeup for the actual wiring technique. I'm pretty DIY, and have done enough electrical stuff around the house that I have an 82% chance of not killing myself, but I want to make sure I am doing it...

    That does make it seem that way... I have to adjust the wiring to make it a bit more clean anyways- perhaps I should try to stay on the underside of the headliner instead of going up top- I'll do some fiddling (but unfortunately my model 3 had some issues tonight (screen works, but seems to be...

    You ever figure this out? I installed my dashcam today- but have it in the passenger foot well and into the console- currently just into cigarette lighter, but would like to go directly to the 12v to allow recording when parked (just need to figure out how)

    I will plead the 5th and say I honestly do not know. I cant imagine they would be in the way of anything, as they run along the inside edge of the headliner, and when it goes across the A pillar its right at the seam. However I intentionally did not pull off all the trim so I dont know the...

    So far no.... however I have driven the car about 15 yards pulling out of garage and into other garage bay.

    So, I installed my DR750 2 channel dashcam in my model 3 today, and figured I would share as there are not may reports of it so far. Tried to take pictures along the way- not sure how useful it will be, but hope it helps someone. I am for sure a DIY solution- not nearly as clean as places like...
