Hi everyone, I’ll be driving my Model Y Long Range from Vancouver to Edmonton on December 5th and am looking for some advice on charging. This will be my first time driving to Edmonton in winter with my Tesla.

Thank you in advance !

I always have to turn off FSD near home as Google maps has decided that part of the road is ‘no-go’ zone for some reason. Issue does not happen on the mobile app of Google maps.

Is there a way to report this wacky route and get it fixed?

Been running on DWS06+ tires which have been great, but I'm sure there's tires with better rolling resistance. Any suggestions?

In the cycling world there is an aggregation of rolling resistance tests for a lot of commercially available tires but I take it that there's none for car tires?

Is there a way to definitively know which HW version you have?

Hello all, I'm looking at buying a 2021 Model 3, and there are two offers near me right at $20k. I'm new to Teslas, so I'm seeking advice to ensure these are legit.

Offer 1

Trim: Long Range

Color: Black int, Gray ext

Mileage: 62k

Notes: The dealer uploaded several photos of the different menus. and there are some service warnings visible. These include "Tire Pressure Monitoring System fault", "Condition Detected with a vehicle controller, "Unable to charge, maximum charge level reached" ( I think that's normal, but this one has the same yellow caution symbol as the others), "Front passenger safety restraint system fault", and "Schedule service to replace low voltage battery." Some wear was also noticeable, such as the steering wheel appearing to be slightly wrinkled.

Wrinkled Wheel

Vehicle Controller Warning

Unable to Charge Warning

Front Passenger Warning

Low Voltage Replacement Warning

Offer 2

Trim: Standard Range Plus

Color: Black int, White ext

Mileage: 51k

Notes: It seems to be in great condition other than this weird splotching on the side of the front passenger seat. This dealer had fewer pictures of the interior and screen, but the only sort of warning that was visible was this one with a cellular icon, which I believe says something about Premium Connectivity, which seems to be normal.

Interior in better shape, connectivity warning

Splotchiness on Side of Seat

I’m currently on 12.5.4.1 on HW4 and it works decently on the freeway but I can never use it in the city (Boston) because it is overly cautious and doesn’t make smart decisions that help traffic flow more smoothly. This is all on the Aggressive profile.

For example, today I was in the right lane on a major avenue and a car up ahead was stopped trying to turn right waiting for pedestrians to cross. Instead of switching lanes to go around the vehicle like I normally would, FSD just stopped right behind it. There was nobody around and plenty of time to recognize that the vehicle was stopped.

Another example on that same road trying to make a left turn across two lanes of oncoming traffic where pedestrians and cyclists are constantly crossing the street I am trying to turn onto. It stops right at the line and doesn’t creep out into the intersection to get a better view and ensure that a turn can be made during that light cycle. After I nudged it, the car found an opening and made the turn but stopped in the middle of the road when a pedestrian approached the crosswalk and was waiting for me to go. I had to take over so I didn’t get rammed.

I have also found that it takes forever to go around double parked cars that are clearly stopped with their hazards on. As soon as I notice that situation I change lanes to go around and that is what other drivers expect. But FSD likes to pull up right behind the stopped car and then attempt to go around from there. Other drivers look at me like I am an idiot when this happens.

It also leaves way too much space and sometimes brakes suddenly to leave all the space in front. I almost got rear ended by a guy on a motorcycle who didn’t expect me to stop so far from the car in front of me.

I'm just looking for an opinion about whether or not I need to replace this or if I can just ignore it safely. The problem really is just that the suspension makes a squeaking noise when going through speed bumps or uneven roads, so it doesn't seem like a big deal.

The app gave me an estimate of $300 for repairs, which would have been fine, but after bringing it in they updated the cost to $3000. They need to replace "the lower control arms, the lateral and compliance links bushings, and then do a four wheel alignment".

If replacing these parts are really unnecessary for this relatively small problem (ie squeaking), then I will probably deny the repairs.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

I want to buy a used model 3. I’ve seen a couple in my area for 23-28k with 30-50k miles. I haven’t done much research on them so is it worth it?

I have a 2020 M3P and when I got my cybertruck I fell in love with the yoke. I want to get a yoke for my model 3 also. Any recommendations

Hi everybody,

I'm looking to the wisdom of Reddit to help me with an issue I am facing with my car.

My electricity gets way cheaper after midnight so I have set the car to start charging at 12:30 a.m. Monday through Sunday.

However, I have found that whenever I plug my car into my Tesla wall charger, the car chooses to disobey the schedule and starts charging immediately. Even if I stop the charging right after plugging the car in, the car will start charging again within 60 seconds.

It's the strangest thing because the app says charging will start at 12:30 a.m., and yet the car is charging now.

Has anyone experienced this before and know of a fix?

Tesla MYLR owner here. Mine is Stealth Grey. I'm planning on removing the light colored 19" Gemini wheel covers and Plastidipping the rims matte black. For those who have donethis already, did you notice any range loss? Also, how's the Plastidip holding up?

Ordered a used model 3, turns out the delivery fee will put it over $25k and I'll lose the tax credit. I told them I'll come pick it up. They said that's not possible. I asked why, they said because I'm in a different state. I showed them on the Tesla site it clearly says I can come pick it up in another state. They changed up and said I can but I'll still pay the $500 delivery fee.. what??? Any advice?

Front and rear Cargo mats for a just ordered Model S Plaid. First what year am I looking for? The Tesla website says the cargo mats are incompatible. I see weather tech has a set, I see recommendations for 3D and xpider are these the websites:

Is it Hankook or Goodyear or Pirelli

When I read old threads it seems the Hankook are the most popular.

I’m pretty picky about suspension and noise. I’d trade same relatively small differences in efficiency. Please guide me!!

Hello, I’m experiencing a home charging issue and would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions to resolve it.

I recently moved into a complex with a 240-volt, 50-amp garage charger (designed exclusively for electric vehicles). It’s the only device connected to the breaker. Initially, I would trip the breaker every time I charged, so I reduced the amperage. For the past month, I’ve been able to charge without any issues, but now, despite lowering the amperage, the charging stops, and I have to reset the breaker. I’ve tried setting the amperage to 10 amps, but it still trips the breaker.

I have a standard outlet next to the 240-volt outlet, and it works perfectly, albeit with a significantly longer charging time.

I’m curious to know why this keeps happening. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Please I hope it will.

Looking into buying a set.

How is the quality of the rims from Vertini?

RFS2.4 or RFS 2.3 are the ones i'm considering so far.

They are around 25lbs for 19x8.5 rims. Flow formed.

Also interested in Rohana or Varro Brands but i can't find the weight of the rims easily.

My Model 3 stopped farting when the doors automatically lock. The toggle is no longer highlighted in vehicle settings. Anyone else have this issue?

Do you have to buy the key cards for the Model 3 from Tesla or are there third-party ones you can buy in program?

Yesterday I had 12.5.4.2 attempt to run a RED light AFTER slowing down for a YELLOW light.  Approaching the light from the north on a 6 lane (north-south) with a 4 lane T intersection (on the east side), the car correctly determined that it needed to stop at the light when the light turned yellow well before approaching the intersection.  As the car slowed down appropriately from 55mpg to probably 25mph, it then reaccelerated when the moment the light turned RED.  I was NOT yet in the intersection - so this was not a case of the light changed after entering the intersection.  Literally, the car decided the correct behavior was to run the red light after slowing for the yellow.  I slammed on the brakes and still stopped just outside of the intersection.  With previous releases, FSD has driven through this intersection 100s of times with varied behavior for yellow lights - but never like this.

For recent models, like 2023, 2024, are S and X receiving features and updates as quickly as 3 and Y? I've seen a few people claiming that S and X are not getting the same attention as 3 and Y. Many say that the S and X are neglected, including interior updates, etc. I know the huge gap in sales figures and Tesla has all the reasons to keep the 3 and Y well supported and updated. I would simply like to know if in fact software releases tend to favor the 3 and Y and if the S and X are being lagged?

I’ve an ESR MagSafe charger mounted behind my m3 screen. The charger is speed is great when i connect it to the usb port in the armrest in my highland. But i don’t like wires exposed, for that purpose,i’ve connected the charger to usb port in glove using the usb hub. I very much understand the usb port inside the glovebox is meant for usb only but i am looking for a way around it so i am able to supply full power to my ESR MagSafe mount. I was thinking to permanently connect a power bank to the tesla usb port so that it can keep charging itself, and connect my ESR MagSafe mount charger to the powerbank so it can supply the required power.

Would this thing work? Or other solution to this?

I appear to have run out of charge 1mi from super charger even though the car said I had 5%… do you think it can charge at the supercharger or is it best to tow to service center? What would be telling signs I cannot charge at SC? Thanks

Happy weekend people! 3 months into this 2024 Red MYLR and still love driving it around. Besides the crappy suspension and sound insulation - she is a beast! I was initially going to spend on PPF but I feel I should now spend the same amount on a better suspension. Has anyone replaced the factory suspension?

Will get nano-ceramic tints sometime next summer. It gets hot here in Atlanta and even a 40 minute parked car gets super hot. I hear good heat blockage using XPEL XR plus films. Anyone got these done in my area? I’ll take recommendations.

I installed those rubber strips to reduce sound isolation but they barely helped at all. If anyone has been able to block outside noise please share your suggestions/recommendations.

Still getting estimates to install the NEMA 14-50 but my main panel is far from garage - in the basement and it’s full - so I am getting pricey estimates due to copper wire lengths and possibly splitting some switches on the panel to free up for my EV. So far the best is $1000. I’m still shopping around.

Have a good weekend people!

We go to EddieWorld in Yermo on our way to Vegas, and the station there is always packed. Lately we’ve started to wait 5-10 minutes at a time and it’s only getting worse. It’s a very large and popular place for tourists, plenty of food options, restrooms, and more snacks and stuffed animals you can imagine in the middle of nowhere.

But then a few miles down the road there’s a MASSIVE SC area with NOBODY. There’s nothing there except a gas station and mediocre tacos, and they close at 8pm.

I just don’t quite understand why they don’t put the large station at EddieWorld and the small station at the taco place?
