    Insurance in BC

    I didn't renew with BCAA again this year based on the experience my family had with them. My father-in-law's car, not a Tesla was hit while it was parked and BCAA wanted to write it off. They totally lowballed him and compared cars outside of providence and a car with a rebuilt status. I ended...

    Model 3 new USB C center console data hub from model Y?

    I doubt they would keep a part for that long. If there is a warranty repair they will figure out a way to fix it, even if that involves splicing and taping things. I had a hood tab that somehow melted from the body shop. Tesla was supposed to order a new one, but it was discountined and they...

    Model 3 new USB C center console data hub from model Y?

    I would imagine Tesla would still carry the old part number. If it gets to the point where it's no longer available they might just tell you too bad so sad. Other makers do the same thing since by then you will be out of warranty. In accidents, it'll be something you work with the insurance...

    Well aren't you lucky. I'm sure others went through the same thing and came out with far less.

    For the LR battery pack 75kW, it's technically 78.8kW. 2021's might have slightly more battery since Panasonic improvised the energy density by 5%. But like everything Tesla, who knows when or if it's already being rolled into production. Regarding insurance, my opinion is I don't think they...

    Insurance in BC

    SR+ only comes in 50kW Battery. I wouldn't worry about it too much. It would be more for people that have 75kW (dual motor and performance) paying 50kW policy.

    50kW Battery which is the battery size on the Standard Range Plus. Which model 3 do you have? SR+, Dual motor or Performance?

    Vancouver and area Tesla approved body shops?

    I agree with no.1 having mixed results. I personally had some issues with them, but they did fix some of the issues after I brought it up. Dave at Automind in Richmond was better and more pleasant to deal with. They addressed the other issues that No.1 didn't address or was able to do. Is...

    You can do the car with a full 60" roll, but it does require some cutting and splitting. If you buy full rolls of different sizes you end up with lots leftover.

    Elektrek Article featured one of our very own

    It's contributors like him that made this forum valuable. People disagree with each other all the time and having an open discussion is to be expected on forums. Silencing one is very one-sided and doesn't add value to the discussions.

    Model 3 new USB C center console data hub from model Y?

    If you're lost then don't form opinions without asking questions. VCLEFT is not the computer (mcu/ap, etc) it's the body controller on the left side of the car. You are pretty much saying what I'm saying because it's a +12v pin source. Been using this pin for over a year for my dashcam. 12v...

    Model 3 new USB C center console data hub from model Y?

    Can you elaborate on the car's computer, who's taping into the car's computer? The initial concept was a direct swap. Now that it's been discovered that the new hub uses a different power pin, the rest of the folks are trying to make it compatible. As stated, I'm not going down this rabbit hole...

    Model 3 new USB C center console data hub from model Y?

    Yes, you are obviously are missing something here. I can't speak for others, but this is exactly what I don't want to do if I can avoid it. But if I really wanted to make it work in the future, I'll be drilling a small hole and fish the 12v lines into the bin. Then 3d print a case for my USB-PD...

    Model 3 new USB C center console data hub from model Y?

    I was thinking the same. Why make it so complicated with L connectors when you can just use spade connectors. That's what I used to tap into the VCLEFT for my dashcam since 2018's don't have the trailer pin populated. As for making the OEM wireless pad work, I somewhat gave up on it as it's too...

    Model 3 new USB C center console data hub from model Y?

    That's right. But I'm making the assumption that the upper MCU board had modifications along with AP3.0. While it's anecdotal evidence, some people say MCU is faster after coming from 2.5 to 3.0. Also, green mentioned with the infotainment link was changed from 100mbps to 1gbps.

    Model 3 new USB C center console data hub from model Y?

    Physical connections I would say it's safe to do based on your research. But the SW side is where I'm concerned with 2.5 given that it has both Data and Power. Since you have 3.0, it should be good, keep us posted.

    Model 3 new USB C center console data hub from model Y?

    I might pony up and get it as I'm making this too complicated. But at 80 bucks I don't want to risk having compatibility issues with HW 2.5 and hardware ID on the hub. Since this hub is designed to work with newer 3/Y which would have HW 3.0. Do you have 2.5 or 3.0?

    Model 3 new USB C center console data hub from model Y?

    Not sure if the front hub can deliver more. But I finally got a tester and determined the wireless hub input is 9v. With one phone it draws 1.1-1.3A and with two phones it draws 2-2.4A. Power Source: 12V socket adapter that has USB-C PD (5V 3A,9v 3/A,12V 2.5A) Devices: 2x Samsung S9. My goal...

    I'm hoping that's the case. Gives me a good indicator as to what the wireless pad needs in terms of input.

    Does anyone know if the new USB wireless charging pad (1541234-00-B) requires USB-C PD or what the voltages it requires?

    Can't apply referral code to existing Model Y order

    I wonder if it's because the prices won't change if you were to cancel and reorder. So they were more willing to make that adjustment.

    Insurance on the island is significantly cheaper than the lower mainland. In general BCAA optional is cheaper, but you need to qualify, by having no accidents and 10+ yrs of driving experience.

    Model 3 Replacement Wiper Blades

    I have not used it, but I know because the company reached out to me. But if they work well then great. Maybe provide an update when you used it in the rain and for a longer period of time. As for silicone blades, someone swore by piaa blades but then another said they were complete trash. So...

    A bit of both because the shape is odd, especially the rocker panels. I did most of the car except for the trunk and rear bumper, but I will when the weather warms up closer to spring/summer. I don't know what your comfort level is, but this was not something easy to do. I'm okay at it now and...

    Supercharger - Richmond, BC

    I agree it is disappointing and should have the general parking signs like some stalls in Squamish. At a minimum at least reserve some for charging only. Maybe my post? I noticed that yesterday and posted about it. I could have technically reported it as they left the lot, but still doesn't...

    This is going to be a problem. I just got clarification from Richmond Center guest services that the parking spots are NOT exclusive to Tesla charging. "The Tesla charging stations are for use by all our shoppers. While they are offered as a convenience for shoppers with Tesla vehicles, the...

    Tesla Vehicles now importable to Canada!!

    Are you suggesting you'll be trading in your Canadian Car to Tesla US side? That won't work unless you import your car into the states, at which point you'll be paying US taxes. So that doesn't make sense to do.
