    Can I use MX FSD in Canada (car originally bought in the US) ?

    It means the same as a green arrow to the left.

    Using FSD for 3 months - Is my experience typical?

    That is true to some extent (I'm not disagreeing with you at all), but when it comes to cutting corners in left turns, going more than 30 km/h over the speed limit in chill mode or changing into a lane that ends just 100m later is not something I'd get more comfortable with over time. I really...

    21 Model 3 LR Battery Test

    I've never done the battery health check, but for what it's worth, my 2020 M3 AWD is at 90k miles, showing 294 miles of range at 100% SoC.

    Parking inside a small garage

    Tesla Vision still lets you hit obstacles. Unless it's a single occurrence, you might be better off using a mirror that shows you how much space you have, or the good old tabletennis ball hanging from the ceiling that will touch your windshield just when it's time to stop.

    The few times Tesla has addressed battery degradation, they have simply lied and dismissed it.

    Like I wrote in #13: I start driving right after I reach my target, and then arrive at home at the recommended 80%. If less than half an hour is a significant amount of time, then so be it. I've logged almost 90k miles with my car so far and don't have any crazy degradation. To me it's more...

    How to remove the Supercharging Unavailable message?

    There is a hint right under "Supercharging Unavailable". Have you tried adding a payment method? Adding it won't cost you anything, the card just needs to be on file.

    The few times Tesla has addressed battery degradation, they have simply lied and dismissed it.

    Depends on what you are optimizing for. If battery life is all that matters, yes, then it's probably best to keep the car at 50% SoC in an air-conditioned garage. To answer your question, it takes about 5% SoC to return home from my daily commute, so I used to charge to 95% and arrived at home...

    Does the highland LR have the option of acceleration boost?

    Do the Ingenext modules (not sure what they are called, I've never really looked into it) work with the Highland LR? That would be a viable workaround if Tesla doesn't want to sell the acceleration boost anymore.

    Wall charger cable starting to distort

    Temperature has little to nothing to do with it. This usually happens when you twist the cord. I have a gen2 and a gen3 wall connector, and both their cords still look like new after 3-4 years.

    Cabin camera covered with tape and now I can't use my $5,000 Autopilot option. version 2024.3.25

    That might be it. The FSD trial did not work with the camera covered. We'll probably never know. New members who make an account to talk about legal action usually don't come back.

    Cabin camera covered with tape and now I can't use my $5,000 Autopilot option. version 2024.3.25

    I am still able to use AP with my interior camera taped, and my car is using 2024.3.25, too. There might be an unrelated reason why OP can't use their autopilot anymore.
  12. UncleCreepy

    The few times Tesla has addressed battery degradation, they have simply lied and dismissed it.

    FWIW: without using any more or less fancy app, my 2020 LR AWD started at 504 km displayed range. Now, 144,000 km (89,500 miles) later, 100% charge equals 474 km. Maybe there is more to it, but to me, that's 6% less mileage than what I had when the car was new. I can live with that. I regularly...

    Will Tesla ever give the RWD a performance boost ?

    Probably not. It would take a lot of grip to accelerate harder with just RWD. More power would likely just trigger the traction control more often. AWD is your friend.

    Touchscreen tint

    Okay... I'll try something more obvious next year for April Fools day

    Touchscreen tint

    After I had my side and rear windows tinted, I decided it was time to get the touchscreen done, too. It used to be way too bright in most situations, but now it's not distracting at all anymore. The "expert" recommended not to use more than 30, but eventually I went with 5. Look at the...

    Rear view camera is blurry

    FWIW, I just replaced the rear facing camera on my 2020 M3 LR AWD. The image was quite blurry, but now it's fully restored. The cost was $125 CAD plus tax, and it took me about 20 minutes to replace the part. I also tried to polish the lens (pretty sure it's plastic), but to no avail. This is...

    Auto wipers no longer mandatory when using AP?

    I have them pretty much every day. I made it a habit to turn auto wipers off as soon as I engage TACC. I just wish they'd leave the setting alone when I engage AP. If the wipers were really necessary, then why is AP even available while I'm driving with my wipers turned off? That doesn't make...

    Can you Walk-in and buy a Tesla Model Y on the spot? Inventory shows Immediately Available

    I bought a Model 3 for my gf in Dec 2023. That was in Ottawa, ON. We looked up the car we were interested in, and the only holdups on site were that I obviously didn't have a bank draft available (that can be arranged quicky unless you are dealing with an online bank) and that they were unable...

    Model 3 Window tints acceptable?

    I got my windows tinted early in 2023. There's about a 3/64" gap at the edges. It's barely noticeable with the doors open, and not noticeable at all while driving

    Feature Request - Eco-Mode Air Conditioning

    This thread is about a feature request and therefore refers to future models (all current models already haave heat pumps), unless you are expecting Tesla to retrofit older models.

    Tesla blesses other cars blocking two stalls due to short cord

    It doesn't seem to be an issue at any of the CCS stations I've seen so far. Using longer cables to keep the number of blocked stalls to a minimum is a cost-effective solution.

    Tesla blesses other cars blocking two stalls due to short cord

    Should be fun with a Ford parked sideways and two Teslas boxing him in. I think opening the SuC network is an incredibly dumb move until they replace the charging cords with longer versions so that every car can use the charger they're supposed to use in a specific spot.

    Summon and FSD require more camera calibration

    Not in my experience. I agree with you when it comes to basic AP camera calibration, but FSD camera calibration (which this thread is about) takes much longer.

    Summon and FSD require more camera calibration

    This thread is about FSD, not regular AP. I got another M3 RWD in December '23 that came with a 3 months FSD trial. It took more than a week before FSD was finally available. Took me less than a week to turn it off for good, but that's another story. AP, however, only took a few miles before it...

    The Vehicle that Convinced Me to Go Electric

    Don't get me started with that crap company. I never thought I'd go back to gas, but now I enjoy my BMW K1600GT. Zero is dead to me.

    Feature Request - Eco-Mode Air Conditioning

    Are you paying for premium connectivity?

    The same way it gets it with premium connectivity. The only difference is that with standard connectivity, you won't see the orange/red/deep red lines.

    Battery drained to zero

    Or, while you're gone, you could just disconnect the HV battery plug under the rear right seat and then the 12V battery. Once you're back, reconnect them in reverse order. As @M1tch said, it shouldn't be a problem to jist park the car, but this way you can be sure the car won't stay awake due to...

    Using only the camera turn signal when changing lanes

    I for one don't like to signal unless I've verified that I can safely make a lane change. The image on the screen only pops up after I signal, so it's a useless feature to me.

    Battery Preheat - Down side

    Nope, quite the opposite. Charging is way faster with a preconditioned battery. The comparatively low amount of energy it takes to heat the battery means next to nothing in terms of charging time, but the warm battery will make charging much faster. Sorry if there has been any confusion.
  32. UncleCreepy

    Battery Preheat - Down side

    Not really. If the car knows that you can make it to the SuC (as in 10% left, 2 km away from the SuC), it might as well continue preheating the battery.
  33. UncleCreepy

    Battery Preheat - Down side

    It has changed. Just two days ago, I arrived at a SuC with 2% SoC left, and the battery was still preheating. If you don't need to charge as quickly as possible, preheating has become a waste of money. This was different when we were charged by the minute. Now that we pay by the kWh, it just...

    Are you paying for premium connectivity?

    That is correct, but @mylapore meant "SuC" when they said "SC". SuC: Supercharger SC: Service Center

    Are you paying for premium connectivity?

    ^That. Premium connectivity visualizes the traffic, but the traffic data is there no matter what, even with standard connectivity. Rerouting works fine with standard connectivity.

    Charging dropping to 9a from 48a

    OP mentioned a red light on the Wall Connector, though. While you are right about a lower amperage draw while preconditioning, OP's problem appears to be something else. As far as I can tell, @rpiotro and @LoudMusic got to the bottom of the problem.

    Phone key doesn't always connect

    I came here with the exact same issue. Disabling and re-enabling BT doesn't help with my Samsung S20 FE 5G. The only thing that seems to help is if I restart my phone. Sometimes it works for 2-3 days, but this morning I had to restart the phone, and now, maybe 10 hours later, it still won't...

    front camera fog frustration

    Would you be able to confirm that the rubber seal runs all the way around the edges and not just around some of them? As you can see in the picture I posted, there doesn't appear to be a seal beneath the cameras. I'm not sure if this is intentional or if there is a torn or missing part.

    front camera fog frustration

    Same issue on a 2023 Model 3. I contacted service and they gave me the "known issue, wait for a firmware update" speech. Interestingly, this has never happened on my 2020 M3.

    Thoughts on not choosing acceleration boost on M3LR

    I chose to buy the acceleration boost. Do I need it? No. Do I use it all the time? Hell no, most of the time I'm driving in chill mode. But it's fun when I do want the sudden and hard acceleration. Without the inefficient larger tires/wheels, I would have considered a performance model. Paying...

    Just test drove a highland in Los Angeles

    That seems detrimental to the cars constant nagging that I have to pay attention. I can push the right stalk upwards without looking at it, and personally, I'd rather keep it that way. I appreciate the answer though, that's a good point. I forgot about those buttons. Roll mode only makes a...

    Can’t get software update since 2022

    Wait... you are in Indonesia, but the car shows navigation software EU-2021.8? Where was the car first registered? Was in somewhere in Europe and then transferred to Indonesia? If so, you probably won't get updates while the car isn't in Europe. There is even a message on the screen that says...

    Using FSD for 3 months - Is my experience typical?

    Same bad experience here. I bought a M3 RWD for my gf in mid December. There was a promotion that got us free supercharging for 6 months and also 3 months of FSD. I was excited to see how much has changed since the free trial I got years earlier, but apparently, FSD doesn't even get the basics...

    Cold weather trip; Considering avoiding Nav directly to SC to avoid preconditioning

    Given that a dual-motor Tesla uses roughly 7 kW for preconditioning, it would take about 3.5 hours to burn 25 kWh. Do you have the numbers for the heat capacity and weight of the battery? I'm not saying you're wrong, but 25 kWh seems so out of range that I would like to run the numbers myself...

    2023.44.30.5.1 2021 MYP Issues

    I don't think it's related to the software version. I've had this exact problem twice on my M3, with different software versions. Over time, the problem fixed itself, except that Trip A and Trip B were lost.
