Let me say first of all that I am rooting for Tesla's success all the way. I've owned a Model 3 for almost a year and love driving it. I also have my reservation in for a Model Y. But Tesla can't continue to raise money indefinitely, can they? What happens if the money dries up before they...

Now I know. :)

This may be a dumb question, but does the TeslaCam record even when the car is parked?

"Honey, we're having venison for dinner tonight."

Perfect. I fixed it this morning. Why would it be set up so you have to use the stalk as well? You’d think that enabling it under settings would be sufficient.

Auto high beam is a nice feature but for some reason it wasn't working for me while I was out driving on country roads this evening. I checked and it's enabled. I rebooted the system and still nothing. Anyone have any other suggestions as to what might work?

For the most part, I'm happy with how autopilot positions me in the middle of the lane. I've had a couple of times when an 18-wheeler has been coming towards me and drifting towards the centre line and I wish the autopilot would position me more to the right. One thing you'll also learn, if...

I had Waze on while driving yesterday and Waze had me consistently 2-3 km/hr slower than my speedometer. I wasn't sure which one was accurate.

Just curious as to why you don't one like a Seasucker that fits on the roof.

Choose the phone as your source instead. Unless you have something like Spotify playing on your phone, you won't have anything playing through the speakers and you won't have to hit the scroll wheel every time you get in the car.

I'm currently driving the RWD with 19" sport wheels but I'm starting to think about winter driving in southern Ontario. Does it make a difference in terms of winter performance with 18" or 19"? I have a quote from a local tire store for Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 which would be mounted on 19"...

Is it EMF's that you are concerned about?

Happened once to me too. Rebooting while driving took care of it. Strange driving with no gauges at all but now I know that I can reboot while driving without a problem.

I noticed the wind noise at highway speeds from Day 1. I won't bother getting the Windshield Noise Reduction Kit based on other peoples comments.

Wow.

LOL. Just got back from a week long road trip and had a few phantom braking incidents, especially driving over stretches of pavement that are black compared to the surrounding pavement. I’ve also had it brake suddenly when driving over a large shadow when in bright sunlight. Having said that, I...

183 views and no replies so far. I'd be interested in knowing this as well. Some find the car very quiet. I really notice the wind noise at highway speeds.

I washed the car last week with a pressure washer as well and this is what happened. Stained A pillar.

I actually tried pausing and unpausing the music but that didn't work for me.

Have they built the steering wheel in the Model 3 with the wiring necessary for heating such that it can be activated by software?

It sounds like the same thing that happened to me yesterday with anything sound related in the car- music, podcasts, navigation voice. It sounded to me like someone clapping rapidly. I pressed both scroll wheels to reboot the computer/monitor and that solved it. It was fine the rest of the...

It's also interesting when the EAP briefly starts to follow the car in front of you on the offramp of the highway, only to quickly jump back to the proper lane. Lots of decisions for the EAP computer to work through in a split second. All good points, but I wonder what EAP would do. Slam on...

I've had problems with the echo as well, but I saw that was a fairly common problem. This is more of a volume issue. People constantly saying they are having a hard time hearing me.

I’ve just had the car for over a week but I was curious as to how the Autopilot would handle a merging/disappearing lane. After checking to make sure there were no cars beside me, I left it on Autopilot as the lane disappeared. It tried to stay centred but when it realized the lane was about to...

For some reason, I consistently have people telling me they are having a hard time hearing me when I'm speaking to them using bluetooth with my iPhone. I've never had this problem with my previous cars. I'm wondering if there is some way I can tweak it to make it easier for people to hear me...

My Model 3 had a deep gouge in it's front bumper at delivery so I was given a BMW X3 as a loaner while Tesla removed and repainted the bumper. The X3 did a great job of recognizing the speed limit signs which made me wonder if it has technology to "see" the signs and display them on the dash...

It worked! You're brilliant. Now can you figure out a way to get the Waze directions on the car monitor?

With my limited experience with the car's navigation system, Waze seems to do a much better job or rerouting around traffic. I was trying to see if the Waze voice commands played through the car's speakers but I could only get them on my iPhone.

I wish I could use Waze on the navigation screen but I know that's not possible. Is it possible, however, to play the Waze voice commands through the car's speakers?

The area where I spend my weekends in the summer has a posted speed limit of 80 km/hr. The car's navigation system doesn't seem to know what the speed limit is for the area, so nothing is displayed on the screen and it defaults to 60 km/hr because the highest speed I can set for Autosteer is 70...

Perfect. Just didn't want to damage it right off the bat if I was doing it incorrectly.

I feel like this should be simple, but I charged my car overnight with an electrcal outlet at my trailer and I can’t figure out how to disconnect the end that plugs into the outlet from the main component. I don’t want to pull too hard on it in case I damage it. Do you press somewhere on the...

I'd be happy with that. It also braked suddenly when I passed over a large shadow on the road. It's going to take a little getting used to it's quirks.

Just got my Model 3 and was trying out Autopilot this afternoon. If an 18 wheeler is coming towards me on a 2 lane road, I naturally veer slightly to the right. I found Autosteer kept me a little closer to the center of the road than I was comfortable with. I guess that's one way to make sure...

So they had this one as well. I guess that’s the DC CCS. So we might have an adapter for that too?

Once I get my Model 3 back (huge gouge in bumper at delivery meant sending it in to have the bumper removed and repainted), I’ll be heading up to an area on weekends where there is a serious lack of public chargers. I found this one today outside a Chevrolet dealership, through ChargeHub, and it...

I hadn't complained about the brakes making a noise, but they must have noticed the brakes squealing after I had to take my car in to have the front bumper removed and repainted because of a deep gouge noted at delivery. I got an email saying that they had corrected the brake issue at no charge...

I've got a loaner BMW X3 while my Model 3 is in the shop having it's front bumper removed and repainted because of a big scrape in it. Other than the fact it's an ICE, what don't you like about the X3? I also learned pretty quickly that you have to press 3 for sales when phoning Oakville Tesla...

Directive from Doug Ford today according to the Toronto Star: The directive stipulates “any expense that can be placed on hold without putting government service delivery or the public at risk” in terms of health, safety and security matters. “Any planned expenditures that are not committed by...

When I spoke to the Ministry of Finance this week, they said he could cancel it any time he wants. Mike Harris got rid of photo radar 8 days after he was elected.

Predicted PC majority government in Ontario. There go the rebates.

Got the dreaded phone call at 1 pm (had a 5:30 appointment at the IC). Car isn’t in the country yet. Rescheduled to Friday at 4:15 A little more notice would have been helpful. Car was to be dropped off at Inception tonight.

Hey John. I just emailed by neighbour Bill, who's with MNP, to ask for your contact information.

Hi there, I see that a number of people are talking about applying some sort of protection against chips as soon as they get their car. I'm in the Burlington, Ontario area and am getting my Model 3 next Wednesday, but I have no clue about what type of protection is best and where to get it...

I just phoned the Ministry of Finance and they told me to use the Date of Agreement at the top of the first page of the MVPA.

It only shows my personal name, although my ISA knows it's under my corporation name and wanted to make sure the address they have on file is that of my corporation.

Thanks for explaining that in detail. I really appreciate it.

What's the rationale behind the difference in % charge for the various temperatures?

I may be OK. The first section of the EHVIP Incentive Application for Individuals and Businesses gives options of Personal (1 or 2 vehicles) or Fleet (3+ vehicles). The next section is Applicant Type which includes an option of Ontario Business/Corporation. So I guess they consider it OK for...

Picking up my M3 on June 6 and had my Tesla Wall Connector installed this week. Starting to look at the paperwork for the rebates. The car will be in my corporation name. I assumed that the EVCIP rebate would also apply to the car, but am I correct in reading the program guide that I will not...
