Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

I have always said I'd get the swivel mount for the screen but have never got around to it, has anyone else?

I charge once a week in work to 100%. However today charging my sept2022 lfp battery the car won't allow itself to be charged beyond 98% at a maximum. LFPs are advised to charge to full once a week at least so I didn't think i was mistreating the battery.

Anyone else see this?

It's either too cold and the BMS is off (common enough due to the narrow voltage spread on LFP), or just a general bms lack of calibration

I was driving this afternoon and for the first 10 minutes, there was a regen limited message. Battery was at 75%. Outside temp was mild. I thought this only happens when battery is full?

Sorry. Orientation on mobile upload

Also when battery is cold.

Has happened to me on a couple of occasions. I pull over, put car into 'Park' and then into 'Drive' again and it goes away...

The dots on the LHD of the line show you what's available, at this time of the year the battery gets cold at night, yesterday after 20minutes commute I still had dots (restricted regen) in both the morning and evening drive.

This also works the other way so when you hit 0% you are not actually at 0%, dots will start to appear on the RHS of the line to show you eating into the buffer, knowing this will allow you get an extra 30kms or so of full unrestricted driving "past" 0%. Only when you hit the last few dots will power be restricted and the car begin to shut down.

From the user manual, it's also if the battery is cold.

Regenerative braking features temporarily limited

Deceleration reduced - Use brake pedal as needed

Regenerative braking performance is temporarily reduced, and there is less automatic deceleration when you lift your foot off the accelerator pedal while driving.

Your vehicle is OK to drive.

Use the brake pedal as needed to slow your vehicle, just as you would in a gas-powered, non-electric vehicle.

This alert may occur when:

- High voltage battery is near full charge. Regenerative braking is reduced when the battery is at 95% charge or higher.

- High voltage battery is not warm enough. This can happen at the beginning of a drive. It may happen frequently in colder climates.

Driving your vehicle usually clears this alert, because it reduces the battery charge below 95% and/or sufficiently heats the battery.

It's just that it was the afternoon and the outside temp was pretty mild/ I've come out to the car in the early morning when it was cold recently and regen was only limited when battery was full. Sure, I will keep an eye on it. Not exactly panicked.

More concerned that my iPhone 14Pro keeps getting hot while wireless charging and stops charging until it cools down. Previous model 11 didn't have this issue and the case is similar as last one.

On that side note, apple introduced software limited charging to stop the phones heating up recently.

See the first new spec M3 being delivered stateside, the loss of parking sensors is hard to swallow with tighter Irish parking spaces

Park it like a jet and follow the center line into the spot. Loads of room to open the door .😂

I get this one. I’m thinking because I put it into d and drive before it finishes may be the problem.

Auto lights possibly fixed in the 40.4 update?

More concerned about how bad the wipers auto function is tbh

I've ordered myself a set of those back of seat protectors. Seeing as I will be keeping the M3, I reckon they offer nice protection against small feet.

They look pretty good too. My only concern is will they hold their shape aainst the back of the seta or will it sag....in which case I would have to remove them. Anyone picked these up? https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09WKBZ96X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

I have basenor products in the car and I saw the basenor version. I went for the other ones because my feeling is they come from the same factory and seem to be identical. Thanks for the pic and on closer inspection, the basenor ones look a bit better made. They look well. I'm cancelling the set I ordered and will get the basenor ones instead.

Hi Guys

Been following this excellent thread for the past 2 years and thanks to Gumbo, Slave1, Fingleberries etc l took delivery of my model 3 last September.

Can l ask what products people are using to clean their cars inside and outside.

Heading up to Reflect Autocare tomorrow to get a few products so any recommendations would be welcome.

Thanks

Zoe

Don’t go too overboard. All I do is hose off the heavy dirt then use a good microfibres mitt with a neutral ph shampoo with two warm water buckets. And collinite 845 wax about twice a year. Easy to apply.

I am not too fussy but my cars have always been swirl free and as new after two or three years. Tesla paint now appears to be as good as the best of them

Agree with the above. Don’t go overboard at the start. As you get into it you’ll realise you either like it and will

want to fill the gaps with different products or you’ll realise that your happy with the basics.

Id start with the following, assuming you have a power washer.

Get a snow foam Lance.

Get some snow foam.

Get some wash mitts (I use a lambs wool). OnlY one is enough.

Do you want to use the bucket and mitt method?

Get a shampoo.

get a drying towel.

get a spray on detailer.

sorted.

If you can, go online now and pick out your products. Add them to your basket for click and collect and use code RAC10 for a 10% discount.

1. it gets you a discount.
2. Stops over spending in store.

Thanks guys that's great info to get me started off.

So I had the car a few months and I noticed the switch for the electric seat on the passenger side was broken (the one that reclines it).

Obviously kids getting in had kicked it and broken it. Got the ranger out and he fixed it. Fast forward another few months and it was broken again. Kids got a severe warning and I left it broken. Few weeks ago I got the ranger out to replace it again.

This time they were warned getting in and out of the car to be careful. Went to hoover it out this morning and guess what? Broken....again.

Kids are now banned from the front seat going forward and I'm not fixing it again.

Anyone else breaking theirs?

Mine was broke on collection but it was a used demo car. Once they replaced it I’ve been cautious but I know deep down it’s gona go at some stage with the kids in and out!

So....has anyone got an active sub added to their 2022 RWD Model 3?

Someone else posted a similar issue in here recently. On my commute home, I was driving on an 80km/h road and autopilot limited the speed to 30 until I passed a speed sign when the road changed to 60. A half hour later, the same thing happened on a 60 road, limiting me to 40. The notification was about autosteer being limited at the the indicated max speed. Is there any reason for this, or anymore info about it?

90% of my driving has been on the same route and 3k klms later, this is the first time the max speed in autopilot was limited like this.

I've found that the car can misread some signs. There's a sign on a road near me showing no right turn and the car picks it up as a 70kmph speed limit sign. I assume if you disable autopilot being restricted to the current speed limit it won't happen.

...Ghost...

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119874693#Comment_119874693

My suspicion was maybe dirt on the cameras, but I don't know how the car finds the road speed...Google, or physical signs?

I was able to increase speed by pressing the pedal. I was unable to scroll to a higher max speed, which I can normally do (including on the roads I had the issue), so the car reading the sign incorrectly still doesn't explain it being autopilot speed limited. It's an odd one.

slave1

If the car catches badly aligned side road speed limit signs then it will take that as gospel and limit when in autosteer, sometimes I come off a 80 road onto a 100 road and the car will limit to 80 until it reaches the first 100 sign
