Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

eagerv

First time driving my Model 3 in UK Sunday, does the speedo change to MPH automatically similar to my previous ID.3?

so, the below is easily one of the most annoying things about the car! its actually agony! was fine until i updated the software.

No, it will remain in km, but it will display the speed limits in km/h also….. so on a motorway it will display the limit as 112km/h, or if the limit is 60mph it will display 97km/h and so on….

Thanks for that - but can anyone confirm if highbeam comes on straight away or is there a sight delay delay before high beam is activated when engaging AP in order to prevent a highbeam flash?

Sorry for being pedantic but I want to be sure before I upgrade if Im sitting behind in evening peak hour traffic that Im not goin to p!ss peeps off in front every time I change a lane.

High beam doesnt come straight on. Auto headlights come on. They don't activate immediately.

So upgraded the software last night and did an autopilot night time test this evening

I can confirm that the auto high beams now are disabled by pushing the stalk forward once as soon as u engage autopilot so not as bad as feared and how it was reacting last week so good news.

Issue is that when u change lanes u need to repeat the process.

Funny how tesla doesn't re-engage AP after u change lane. U need to do it manually.

Obviously that's the selling point of enhanced AP

I concur.

On updating, our new Model 3 can now also dip the main beams by pushing the stalk forward. That wasn't the case before the update.

Not ideal, but given the car came with no forward facing radar, no choice.

Our March '22 Model 3 has the radar & I'll pass on the update for now. I drive it regularly on motorways & it'll be dark soon enough at 5pm.

In other news, Tesla say a ranger can't address excessive wind noise at the b pillar & the car needs to return to Sandyford, a 400km+ round trip, to make an adjustment to the seal/glass most likely.

Not happy at all with that.

I reckon the ranger is a lot busier these days and they can get to more work by having you come to them.

Who knows. Ranger coming to fix my tail light but others are being asked to come in.

Funny how so many left the factory with the exact same tail light issue

I'm still waiting a reply to my service request to fix back right tail light as well. Hoping they send a ranger.

What’s the issue, condensation?

Misalignment of rear driver side light...

They pushed me 24.6 as we try to diagnose my batt drain issue. I'll come back to that.

I like the new way of repositioning the blind spot screen and most importantly I like the traffic visualization, similar to google maps. Especially with the school starting navigation software is not clever enough to avoid bad spots. You need premium connectivity for it though. Another thing I noticed but that may be just subjective, the road lines are less jittery. At traffic lights , or in traffic at low speeds it used to dance all over the place. They seem more steady now. I'll keep an eye. Didn't use AP as M50 is a jungle these days

Navigation is not affected by premium connectivity. Only the visual display of live traffic. The car will tajke the same route if you have premium or not

I got 24.8 this morning!! looks the same as .6 but with some bug updates!!

Will the Ranger come anywhere within Ireland? Bringing the car back to Dublin isn't ideal for something that should have been fixed to start with.

Yes.

They've even ventured out to the Aran Islands previously.

Will standard connectivity be aware of Live traffic and route to avoid traffic jams etc? Genuine question as I was only on standard connectivity for a month or so before caving into month subs

I’m guessing the answer is No.

Yes, it will still route you the shortest way time wise, but you just won't see the visual on the screen unless you have Premium Connectivity.

It will route you around the traffic, you just don't get the visualisation of the traffic on your map.

Yes. It takes the same navigation options, it just doesnt show them in the visuals.

Someone tested this on youtube before.

Thanks for clarifying!

I've been using the 50kw chargers at different times and have seen speeds of 29 - 38kw on my screen.

Tonight on the way home from town I put in my destination as Sandyford SuC and the battery started pre-conditioning. I only tried it for around 8 minutes then pulled into my local charger. I'm pulling a steady 45kw for the last 15 minutes.

Makes a big difference it seems to pre-condition for speed of charge.

mc2022B2TF

I've charged at 126kw at Castlebellingham 130kw chargers no problem when the battery % was 25%

Battery precondition started about 15 mins before that.

mc2022B2TF

So I asked this question on the delivery thread but

Screenshot_20220914_225021.jpg

probably more suited to here.

Regarding the usable battery in the M3 I picked up last week.

It's supposed to be pretty much 58kwh

I haven't been seeing anywhere near that and the figures just don't make sense to me.

Attached is a screenshot of my trips as at this evening. So I charged to 100% last night and turned off sentry and dashcam since.

So since my last charge I have used a nice round 1/3 of the battery. Mixture of driving on motorway and town today. Sorry you can't see in the screenshot but battery is at 66%

Used battery is showing as 15kw which when u extrapolate it out puts it at a usable battery of 45kwh! There is something apart from driving that is eating my battery and I can't for the life of me figure it out!

U can see on 1/3 battery I only got 92km so that would mean a range of only 276km? However from the 15kwh I averaged 92km/15 = 6.13km per kwh

If 58kwh of battery is usable the range should be 355km

Furthermore if I did 92km on 1/3 of battery that would mean I had 184km of range left but the estimated range remaining was showing at 298km!

Something isn't right here. I'm going to ask the ranger for advice when he is out with me but maybe I am missing something that someone here can see??

Try to make it simple for us...but a few comments.

a) Your journey today must have been somewhat aggressive as it registered 164 WH/km for what was a 92 km total journey (yet the last 19km was at 143WH/km, meaning that the remaining 73 was approx 170 WH/km)

b) Your driving style influences range.

c) The indicated remaining range of 294kms does NOT take into account how you drive the car and it is best not to rely on this as an indicator. It is the WLTP calculations which approximates to a standardised methodology for comparing different vehicles. Rarely will actual performance reach these levels and this often leads to confusion and(or) disappointment. Many users switch from KM range to % battery for this reason (see d bellow)

d) Familiarise yourself with the onboard Energy app and you will get a much better level of accuracy that takes account of driving styles ambient temperatures when it comes to range. Attached a link to a well presented You tube vid on the matter which I think will help. When driving also using navigation you can also see in real time how your driving style impacts range ...helpful if you ever have range anxiety. From. my experience it is very accurate.

I haven't gone line by line into your post as I have not yet concludued my PhD in Higher mathematics.

Thanks and some good points but the crux of my issue is that no matter how ur driving style is the usable battery should remain unaffected.

My issue is that while I used 33% of battery this is only showing as 15kwh of energy used

If the battery has a usable capacity of 58kw then the energy used for 33% of the battery should be 19kw

4kw has been used by something other than "driving" which seems excessive as I have sentry and dashcam off.

Surely it couldn't be aircon or some other non-driving related activity

I'm curious how over a full charge about 13kwh is being lost to something

mc2022B2TF

Thanks I didn't even know about the energy app I'll take a look tomorrow as that will be useful.

The guy in the video makes a great point in that the range remaining should at least be an option to display based on driving style. Like a 25 year old ice car can do that. The epa range rating is totally useless.

Easier said than done. Your driving style based over the last 10km, 25km, 50km, 100km, or lifetime driving? The problem is that these will all be different as will motorway or town driving. At least under the Energy monitor app you can select one of these options and the range is dynamic and very accurate. Its something you will get used to and is far more sophisticated than the "25 year old ice ca capability" that you mention. Give it time and a little patience before forming your view and try to keep an open mind.
