My 3 is early 2018. I just learned about the service menu and then found the VCFRONT_a210_coolantValveCalib and VCFRONT_a135_coolantLevelLow alerts. From reading this thread it sounds like the 5-way valve is at the root of my alert. How can I find the list of vin's that were involved in the...

Good point, done.

I did some searching and couldn't find a lot of discussion so I'll ask. Amazon lists several brands of aftermarket cabin filters. Has anyone tried these, are they as good as OEM? I also saw a filter for the air intake in the frunk, Tesla does not put a filter there, is this a good idea? Pro's...

The evaporator is located below the dash between the foot wells. look at you-tube there are many videos on getting access. The "leak" seen in my video was not a big concern to the service department but they did seal it up,.It did not resolve the stink. What I have been doing is when I smell...

Hopefully some help / ideas here. I downloaded the app and my phone says accessory requires too much power. I contacted the developer and asked what EXACT hardware the app was developed around. He said "The official Apple adaptor:,Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader". I have the Apple adapter...

R&R on the screen is a 10 minute job, if you take your time.

This is great software. It is so refreshing to find something so useful, offered FREE, and supported by the maker. I hope the visibility helps you in other ways, thank you.

Also remember the videos are uploaded to Tesla so if you park inside a garage and let’s say your washer & dryer is in the garage. When someone runs out in the AM to get something beware they are being recorded and possibly shared with someone you don’t know. Dress accordingly when around your car.

This link should show whats happening. I agree that I may have added excess water to the evaporator area during cleaning but it should go out the drain, not into the car interior. When we get into the rainy season what will happen?

I tried the thread tool to embed, didn't work, this is the link, AC was running. www.metacafe.com/watch/11939056/ac-left-side-leaking-into-car/

I cleaned the evaporator with the foaming cleaner and ran the AC with the kick panel off. I don't think it is supposed to leak like this. I did get a lot of water on the garage floor so the drain is working but this doesn't seem normal.

I did a test drive with the dashcam on, (red dot showing), came home and turned off the dashcam, removed the drive. It had 10 minutes of video in the RecentClips folder. ! hour later I put the drive back in the car, the camera icon came on with the red dot, I immediately turned off the dashcam...

Sometimes the “parked” files show “0” MB, on all cameras for the whole hour. I don’t remember ever seeing that before.

I have had the car since March 2018, before dashcam. I never remember the dashcam recording files when the car was parked / unoccupied. My camera is now recording over the last driving videos ... after being parked. If I pull the drive after being parked for more than an hour all I see in...

I'm still doing tests to relay to service, "the tech's are working on the camera problem". Can someone do this test and see if the results are the same as mine; !. check your flash drive and confirm there are files in the recent folder. 2. put the drive in the car USB, when the red dot comes...

It should not write over the files sitting in the garage. When it writes over them sitting in the garage locked the files it writes are 1 KB for all cameras.

From the beginning of TeslaCam I have been able to review the RecentClips and SavedClips files on the computer and then put the drive back into the car and the car would overwrite the "recent" files up to 1 hour. Since I got the latest update the "RecentClips" folder is erased upon installing...

I used to get notifications on the console when returning to the car that sentry had been activated and it would show the number of times. Since I got 20.4.2 I do not get those notices any more, but there are sentry files on the drive. Has this been anyone else experience?

I have had the same question, why would Tesla use a heavy spring if it wasn’t necessary. There is no logical answer other than maybe to help open the lid with weight on it like snow. My thought is they ordered 100,000 latches and they came with the wrong spring rated for a heavier lid. It was...

Sooo....I got 16.2 yesterday and took the car for a drive. My experience was if I "let" the car drift out of the lane it would beep and correct just before it was going to cross the line. If i had steering wheel pressure and slowly directed the car to cross the line, no turn signal, it would...

part number - 1083017-00-A. They are identified in the manual as “BOLT&WSHR,HX,M6x18,STL[88],ZNNI[BLK],MAT”

Yours may be different but mine is threaded, vin 12xxx.

update; The screws arrived today via "personal courier" wink wink. I spent 2 minutes installing them, not cross threaded ;). I feel I have done my share to improve TSLA stock value.

Obviously start with a longer spring than you need. My "C" spring is .056 wire with a coil outside diameter of .375 and the finished unstretched length is 2.18" inside to inside of the loops.

I have a well stocked shop with a good spring assortment. I cut down a longer spring, bent out the last coil, volai custom spring. If you get it close but not exactly what you want take off a coil or two and re-bend the hook.

Engineering notes: I did some more testing and the primary and secondary latches release together when the car is not moving. It does not matter if you release it from the screen, phone app, or the inside release. I extended the release button so I could operate outside when the lid was closed...

If the QC opportunity was missed when I called service and told them the bolts were missing, then created a service appointment, then talked to a service adviser about the issue,.........I think there are other issues.

Good point and not to start an argument, but many of us have removed a wheel ourselves. A wheel is much more critical to the safety of the car and the ones that have done it feel confident that they are not causing a safety issue doing it. Remember these are 3 screws that hold a cover that has...

Reading a post on this forum my attention was directed to the screws that hold the rear lower aero cover. A poster had said to check the 3 screws since he found his were only finger tight. These screws are easily accessed under the car 14" forward of the rear bumper. I checked mine and they...

#1. The spring does provide downforce to hold the hood down when locked. I think your spring may little longer than the stock one. If you feel frunk hood rattle, use little bit shorter (maybe also stronger) spring will solve the problem. I have a very large selection of springs and used all...

I did the mod using a heavier spring than suggested, wire size .048 coil OD .375. It worked just fine, easy close and no "thump" when opened, I liked it a lot but I ended up going back to stock and here is why. #1 The heavier spring provides some up force at the latch area when closed. For...

UTC is mostly used in flight planning. Helicopters are not used for distance flying so we seldom do flight planning. We use local 24hr time to talk with most everyone involved with the flights. Additionally I don't expect a majority of Tesla owners are aviation involved and the forum is speaking...

I never made the connection that the file name was the time recorded, (old firmware). When looking at an old firmware file with the name of "saved-front-2019-01-30_10-44.mp4" the date column is "1/30/2019 5:51 PM", they don't seem to match even with a -8 hr offset, so I discounted it as a random...

I suppose if you are used to converting UTC it is not an issue. I live in CA the UTC adjustment changes with DST. The clock in the car is local time. When I save a file it is easier to remember the local time when I peruse the drive to find the saved file.

Actually the correct statement is The Model 3 has no fuses that are user replaceable. The 12V lighter socket is fused, it is a software fuse, it can be blown, ask me how I know. It will reset on it's own but is not quick about it.

GREAT job astrowunder, this will save me a lot of time reviewing the videos. Thanks for sharing.

I'm now on 12.1.2 and it appears Tesla agreed with me, the files are now time stamped with the local time.

One thing that sets Tesla apart from other manufactures is Tesla has a real time stream of data from every one of their cars. The fleet is improved based on that data. When FSD becomes available Tesla is going to need a lot of cars operating in all environments with FSD to mine enough data to...

No, when coming down the mountain it showed 3 tires highlighted, then 2 of them went away. What was odd is the one left was higher than the ones that cleared.

You had a lower reading that wasn't flagged?

We drove up the mountain where the altitude and cold changed the tire pressure, on the way back we got a warning for the front left. It is really strange since the front right is lower but it isn't colored for a warning. Before we left the pressure was 42 all the way around.

What I did notice was the charge rate with the “Y” was only 100mah, with the USB hub 500mah, direct 1200mah. I now use the hub to support the music drives and the left charger. The right port has the “Y” and runs the dash cam and a portable battery pack. The low charge rate is not an issue since...

I pulled my dashcam drive tonight and found the .rec files that reside in the root directory are now viewable. Before 42.2 I could not play them. There were some .rec files on the drive when the firmware was 39.7.1 and they are NOT viewable Since 42.2, now 42.4, there have been 20 .rec files...

I have never seen this problem and I have done a lot of hot swapping with music and cam drives. The only issue I have had is when testing a large music drive < 2100 files, in the hub and not letting it load all the way where the % numbers are still moving then pulling it to replace with a...

I can't answer that. It reads "0" even if I use only one drive in the original port, either side. I have tried all different drives same "0". The song count is correct and they all play.

I believe "ground zero" is the first point where you use the Homelink. In my case it is where the home link is trained to the opener (when I push the opener button to recognize the Tesla Homelink). On the Tesla screen touch the Homelink icon, (green house), at the bottom touch "Homelink...
