    Alpine screen turning off after 3 seconds

    Fixed it! In the "Visual" menu where you can select which screen is active by default, you can actually select multiple so it shuffles through them. As it appears you can also select "Off" which shuts the display off after a few seconds. Unticked it and everything is fine again :)

    Roadster 3.0

    These 3.0 packs are a mystery to me... I've got a Roadster with a first gen 3.0 battery, installed in 2019. CAC is 190 but I'm only able to pull 170-190kW under full acceleration these days. About 1.000 km were driven since the pack was installed. Then there's the white Roadster I drive...

    Terrible service experience, why my 2023 Model S is a regrettable purchase

    I don't think he is. I've experienced a ton of sh*t at Tesla (not just with my own cars) and I don't think I've ever had a *good* experience at a service center. The people can be nice, but then the work is performed poorly. Next time it's the other way around. FYI this is the same at 3...

    Model S Rear seat squeaking

    It's the striker rattling in the latch. I've fixed it on a few cars by wrapping the striker with a bit of duct tape. Tesla Service does the same thing but with a different, fabric like tape

    Updated "more robust" front half shafts for Plaid??

    Thank you! 😊

    Model S Rear seat squeaking

    Wrap the strikers with duct tape. Folding/unfolding the seats may become a bit more difficult, but I’ve never heard mine squeak again.

    Sounds good! Do you mind sharing the service invoice so we can see the part number they’ve used?

    2021+ Model S soft close doors

    Hi there, I was wondering whether anyone has tried to fit the Model X soft close latches to the S, or if anyone has found a third party kit to accomplish this? It’s really the only thing my Model S is missing :)

    Alpine screen turning off after 3 seconds

    Hi there, Since my Roadster had its service plug pulled for a week or 2, my Alpine unit turns its screen off after 3 seconds of inactivity. It doesn't shut down, because tapping the screen will bring it right back. I can't seem to find a setting related to this. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Alert # 1022?

    Oh, I wasn't expecting that, given my PEM fan connector was replaced last year by Mars Orbiter. I only got error 1022 a few months ago, it wasn't directly after replacement of that connector. Anyway I took my PEM to his workshop 2 weeks ago so he could have a look at what might be causing the...

    Alert # 1022?

    Did you ever get this issue resolved? I’m in the same boat, but in my case SoC doesn’t seem to make a difference. Any help is greatly appreciated since I don’t have DC charging on my Roadster!

    Superchargers in Nederland (NL)

    Jammer! Hopelijk lossen ze het snel op... Bij de V2 CCS had je juist het probleem dat ze er zo lastig uit te trekken waren (voor de wat minder sterkere onder ons). V3 is wat dat betreft perfect, overigens ook een veel fijnere en handzamere greep+kabel, maar dat terzijde.

    Ik was gisterenavond bij Akersloot en zag dat in ieder geval bij 2 V4 stalls de knopjes voor de laadpoort niet meer werkten. Bovendien was het plastic bij de knop ook gescheurd. Design flaw van de V4's of toeval/vandalisme?

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    This looks like a perforated seat to me. The side bolsters seem to be perforated, as well as the backrest, but not the upper left part. There's quite a bit of noise in the picture though. Lets hope for the best :) I really need ventilation for those hot summer days.

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    Look at my post from yesterday, it's not one cover. There are multiple plastic inserts, positioned within the shape of the alloy wheel. A lot better than the ugly Tempest wheels, where it gets even worse when taking off the cover (imo).

    These are exactly the wheels leaked from the parts catalog. The so-called "Warp" wheels. Now we get to see them with the aero covers on, but once you take those off you get this:

    Volgens mij is dit hier nog niet besproken, maar ik ben gisterenavond even gaan kijken bij de uitbreiding van SuC Akersloot. Daar hebben ze 8 V4 stalls bijgebouwd! Was ook wel nodig, het staat er altijd vol :) Ze zijn nog niet actief, maar dat zal niet lang meer op zich laten wachten

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    Yeah it really felt like that to me. Granted it was a RWD and it had the 18" Aeros, but I've driven the old Model 3 in that config too and I never had a problem with it. I'm sure the LR on 19" is better, but I'll hold off until the Performance comes around.

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    The latter :) although it’s also equipped with active louvres, like any Tesla I believe (roadster excluded!). They’re just not that visible anymore like they were on the legacy Model S.

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    Yeah I was thinking of the aero as well, but to my surprise it still has air curtains. I spotted them on my last visit to the Tesla store. Anyways it could still be a combination of the suspension and aero, but I was pleasantly surprised to see these on the refresh!

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    Highland feels a lot less stable at higher speeds (100+ km/h). During my test drive on the highway I was constantly correcting its path. I did another test drive in a different car, and it was exactly the same. That was a RWD car by the way, however on my previous 2022 RWD I never had this...

    Ik heb sinds gisteren last van extreme trillingen tijdens de eerste 2 minuten rijden in een S Plaid. Alsof je over een klinkerweg in een skelter, maar dan op glad asfalt. Het verdwijnt na 1 tot 2 minuten rijden en komt dan ook niet meer terug. Lijkt ook alleen te zijn als de auto een nacht...

    I don’t see it either, however a friend of mine took delivery of a new Model 3 a few weeks ago, and it had the Mobile Connector. In the US you can select the mobile connector in the configurator, whereas it’s not an option in Europe. For the better, I believe!

    EU finalize and deliveries

    Tesla still includes the Mobile Connector in Europe, even for new orders. It's probably a legal requirement, otherwise they would've done the same thing as in the US.

    Waar geven ze dat aan dan? Op mijn factuur staat het volgende: “Betaalvoorwaarden: Volledig betaald, 7 dagen voor levering.” En ik mag ook hopen dat ze niet verwachten dat je a la minute 135k neertelt, dan hadden ze wel wat duidelijker mogen zijn wat betreft de levertijd.
