If I had to speculate, this is the AC kicking into overdrive to keep your battery cool. The battery cooling loop is connected to the AC system with a heat exchanger and if it gets extra spicey the AC system will work to keep both the battery and cabin cool. This is especially true after...

Nearly dead on 4 years with 56,265 miles. Vin 59660. LR RWD.

It certainly seems like this is the case. The tech didn't replace my clips. I'll see what the service center says on Monday. All repairs conducted by Tesla have a 1 year warranty (according to a mobile tech) so I'll just cite that if they give me any grief at the service center.

Yeah I can confirm the parts are rolling into stock. I just had mine repaired via mobile service in Cali. Just my luck though, the tech cracked my rear glass during the repair. Ugh, another service visit. I'm also unhappy with how loose the trunk lid interior plastic is held into place now...

They sell them on Amazon. I'm not sure how much a repair would cost, I guess I'll find out eventually though. I wanted to avoid buying the same charger that seems to be giving other people the same problems I guess. I just don't want to repeatedly buy it. The swappable connectors limits it's...

Well, no luck. Straightening the cable had no effect. GFCI error in less than 10 minutes at 32amps. I've successfully been able to charge my car using the new Juice Booster 2 charger. It's a bit unwieldy, but I can confidently say it's built to last haha. Juice even offers a repair option for...

I recently went through this same issue after 4 years of owning my Model 3. Constant "GFCI trips" that were only guaranteed to go away if I lowered my charge amperage to 16 amps. I ended up buying a Juice Booster 2 to alleviate my issue. Interestingly enough, its manual gave specific...

To follow up - these outlets were wired in by my company for the EV owning employees. We're a union shop with electricians employed, so it was one of our employees that pulled and wired these outlets. I asked him and he noted that the outlets are not protected by a GFCI, but that it was unlikely...

I was unaware of the PCS failure scenario until you noted it. Thank you for linking me to this thread. I've been able to do a bit of additional troubleshooting and have come up with the following results: 1) If I lower my charge rate to 16amps using the mobile connector I can successfully...

My Model 3 is a 2018 LR RWD and I started experiencing this charging issue with my Mobile Connector about 6 months ago. I charge at work, where we have three NEMA 14-50 plugs. The issue started only when two Model 3's were plugged in at the same time. My Model 3 would stop charging and...

There's been some attention from the media (and RR) being dedicated to this story of a guy getting a $16,000 repair bill to do $700 job: https://jalopnik.com/tesla-quotes-16-000-to-repair-model-3-independent-sho-1847281796 Well, that's just outright BS. Maybe a tech a Tesla messed up? The...

Good to know I'm not the only one with the issue! I have it pop up when I'm applying torque to the wheel as well, and even without the accelerator pressed. If I had to speculate I think it's a result of the FSD code that they're starting to implement.

I'm used to the normal, non-chime, K.H.O.W notification that prompts you every so often in Autopilot... But lately I've been getting what seem to be random K.H.O.W notifications with a loud chime and red warning icon. It's very similar to what would happen when Autopilot would previously lose...

Yeah I wanted to plug him in but he was pulled out just far enough to not reach. I need to start carrying around sticky notes or something to leave a reminder that he is affecting others.

2/25 of the chargers were open and this guy decided that he was too good to park anywhere else in the Santa Row parking complex. Not only was he blocking the charger, he had pulled forward just enough so that the charger wouldn't reach to plug him in, which is what you should do in this...

I have a LR RWD with the stock Michelin MX4s and I've rotated at 9k and 18k. I had alignment checked at 17k and everything was pretty well aligned but they did improve it. I run 40-45psi and note quite a bit more wear on the outside of the tires. When I first got the car I drove it hard, but...

Although 110 is certainly not the best, you may find it's sufficient for your daily commute. EVGO uses CHAdeMO I think, and the problem right right now with CHAdeMO is simply getting the adapter, and they're pretty pricey @ $450. They're constantly out of stock on Tesla's website. CHAdeMO...

No, not every shop can do it but American Tire, whose a pretty popular and prominent shop will do it for free.

Yeah I think you're correct as well. I guess that's my primary issue, I didn't fully understand the delineation between EAP and AP.

I didn't get an exact number for kWh but he mentioned 60-80 cars can be charged in total. They had already charged 40-50 cars that day. The rush was certainly slowing down when I showed up, but all stalls (including stationary ones) were full for a solid 30 minutes. Longest que I saw was 3 cars.

We rolled up to this at the San Luis Obispo, CA Supercharger station which is critical station for 101 travelers going up or down the central coast. I was expecting it to be an absolute zoo the day before Thanksgiving but to my surprise they had a mobile Supercharging station putting out 120+kW...

Part of me is hopefully that they'll add some feature upgrades to normal AP. Obviously I really wish I had just bought EAP for $2k back in the day, but it is what it is. Thanks for the replies.

So I bought my RWD LR in June 2018 without any extra software features, just "Base". I've been saving for AP and yesterday finally pulled the trigger for the $3k. When I received my 1 wk demo for AP back in like, September 2018 or something like that, it included automatic lane change. I was...

We won't know what the inverter can do until it comes out, but the motors draw like 250kW (ludicrous is like 1000AMPS) at 480V. Isn't that like, 500+ AMPS? A nice MIG only needs about 60Amps. Did I do that math right? That's a somewhat specific use case, I don't think it's a large portion...

I really wish that guy had just sucked it up accepted modern medicine. I miss Mr. Jobs. His obsession with quality was inspiring and it's kinda crazy that other companies haven't figured out that quality sells, not yearly release schedules. The protruding headlights on my Model 3 that are...

There's a render floating around of it wrapped in flat black that looks super rad. I wish I could find it.

Sure, but it's no like another manufacture cant do the same thing with side windows. I guess that was point. It's nothing crazy exotic. Whatever "metal glass is". Something not totally amorphous?

haha, my buddy sent me that on release and I got a good laugh. Hey man, we knew it would be polarizing! I posted in another thread that the 1982 Bladerunner police car was what I was expecting, so I'm not surprised.

I know the cybertruck is not a pretty car, but the Aztek was god awful imo. The Cybertruck has at least a little military vibe going on.

I think you're probably right about that haha.

Ehhh, idk man. I tried to pick the best Aztek pic I could find: vs I picked my favorite:

Idk man, some of the chipped diesel trucks I've ridden in are good for some pretty retarded four wheel launches. Even with their "off road tires". But no, I don' think they will provide adequate traction for a 2.9. The tires on the roadster are incredibly wide for one reason. I think the...

I'm curios what functionality you like. The ramp? Edit: slightly playing devils advocate. I like it too.

That's a decent example, but I don't know if the Cybertruck offers as much functionality as the segmented minivan. I think the Model X is probably a better comparison of that. It's all about accessibility to the rear seats for kids. The Cybertruck is a just a truck with a SS body and a weird...

I'm not sure I agree...it's not like you have to use the tonneau.

Although I think you're right, I don't think it's outside of the realm of possibility. Maybe I'm naive. I'm just thinking if a Plaid Roadster (in theory the same sort of battery/motors) can do it in 1.9, then maybe a 150% loss due to tires isn't completely out of reality.

I don't know what version of the Bladerunner movie people were expecting, but I 100% expected this: And it was delivered. Not surprised.

That's no different than any other tempered safety glass in a car. They laminate the glass with a very durable polymer that retains the core integrity of the glass without penetrations. It's energy distribution. Any modern car would have accomplished the same outcome.

+1 No way it was intentional and as a fan, it was painful to watch. For whatever reason it failed...weather, microfractures, not actually toughglass...it should not have been demoed without confirming it could be done with a ball of larger size first. Safety factor. It reminded me of Samsung...

If you think the truck is ugly that's fine. He's been warning it's going to be weird for several months now. I was totally expecting the triangle look, and the more I look at it the more it grows on me. The cringe part was the release. Good god. As @eye.surgeon says, the release was horrendous...

Just fyi the rear glass is distorted on purpose to reduce wind noise affects. Anyone who cleans their glass regularly should have felt this. The front and top are rounded, but not distorted. Optical refraction/distortion can wreak havoc on a someone's balance and general comfort. I can't wear...

I get really annoying whistles from my wipers after I clean them occasionally. It goes away if I toggle them once and "reset" their position.

I'm sorry to hear about your phone issues. It seems like you've found a solution, but it's overly complex in my opinion. If I had to suggest an alternative method I would suggest the Model 3 key fob: Model 3 Key Fob The only issue is that is out of stock pretty often and costs $150. Your wife...

UTMB You've done more research than 95% of the community, and are probably best off doing what you're most comfortable with. 100A breaker with 14-50 and UMC is just fine, but a dedicated wall charger is nice just for the convienence. I personally don't agree to wait for purchase of FSD for...

Have you noticed any scratching as a result of this? I saw a youtube video of a guy that ran his aero caps for a few months and noticed the clips had started scratching up his wheels.

Yeah thankfully they've fixed that: Update: Improvement for Your Model 3 Roof Rack : teslamotors

I've been refreshing the Tesla Shop web page for a week or so now and thought I'd share that the Roof Rack is back in stock! Model 3 Roof Rack

Paul, Welcome to the Tesla fam! Congrats on your conversion from ze-Germans haha. Ideally you should charge from 220v instead of Supercharging. Supercharging will shorten the lifespan of the battery if done more often. However, I don't know of any statistical data to reference on exactly how...

Sal recently repaired my dings (+1 new one) and did an excellent job. 10/10. He had to mess with the window rail for a minute but he got it figured out. The two dings cost $650. One required the interior door panel to be pulled ($400) and one was a simple window access repair ($250). I would...

I've noticed that they don't get full speed when I get into the car with a rainy windshield now. Rather they start at a normal speed, and speed up if needed. It seem's they're actively messing with it.
