Yes, I was just being a tech pedant and not actually taking issue with the issues raised in your post. Think of it like the kW or kWh that trips us all up from time to time ... you've just got to point it out! :)

You may have noticed how I couched my comment ... and I do already understand where you're coming from! The world isn't going to stop turning. However, for those of us who are interested in what the car is doing to achieve its level of efficiency it's interesting to see the transition between...

Getting a quote doesn't mean you have to get the work done. I would have a good look under the car to ensure that there's no damage extending to the battery pack. If there is then obviously a proper assessment by Tesla authorised service is going to be needed. If it's clearly superficial...

As @Jason71 highlights, your rear cover should be on the other side of the car (I probably wouldn’t have spotted it on the picture if it hadn’t been pointed out)!

I appreciate what you’re getting at but I can’t let this designation pass without comment… LFP batteries are lithium ion batteries. The other types are NCA and NCM. It’s not the “ion” that makes the difference, it’s the iron.

I know that the new position for the energy use/regen line has already been mentioned by others … but despite, on the face of it, being a non-essential aspect of car information, I really miss being able to see it! It’s obscured by my hand on the steering wheel and even when I make a point of...

… which gives the lie to the whole notion of a free market! Markets are constrained, regulated… and inevitably distorted… throughout the world and most certainly within the good old US Of A! Not that I would argue for a free market anyway but some people seem to think that it actually exists.

No sign of anything happening in Moffat when I last drove through a few weeks ago. Planning permission for 8 Superchargers was approved by Dumfries and Galloway Council in July 2023. There are existing charging points already in the car park (ChargePlaceScotland) so there is power to the site...

Any outcome to report? There are a couple of aero panels underneath the car which are bolted in place ... those would be top candidates I would think.

What’s a normal jack? So long as you use a Model 3 jack pad and a compatible jack e.g. most trolley jacks you will be ok. The problem may be a slow puncture or a leaking valve … it could be the wheel but that wouldn’t be my first guess.

Lots of people have non Tesla T0 tyres. If the size and weight and speed ratings are ok there’s no problem. And no warranty quibbles. My car has been into the Tesla Service Centre with non standard non foam winter tyres and nobody says a thing. Many independent tyre places will repair foam lined...

I have no helpful info to add I’m afraid … but as I have a 2019 car I’m now keeping an eye out!

You did have the dashcam running. You are confusing it with the function of Sentry Mode perhaps. You can save it for a good while after the event.

In case you haven't found this thread already it may be of some value: VCFRONT a210 coolant Valve Calib

I suggest you keep a dashcam recording of any incident like this. Of course you need to remember to actively press the record button (or press the horn if that setting is active).
