2 button reset just incase.

Had tried that as first fix. Service replied that the doors are reporting as opened when closed due to a glitch in 2022.40.4.1 - v quick response tbf.

Fix was to open and close all doors, lock the car, now back up and running.

Brilliant!

Without turning this into a battle thread, but imagine this issue on a bmw or Audi or whatever other brand, you’d be told to book a service. Drop car off for the day etc

And I say that as a bmw owner before the German fanboys Lynch me 🤣

Have been abroad for last 11 days. Perhaps I am going a bit dopey, but only thing I miss about Ireland is my Model 3..🤣

Yes. Just checked on her, only lost 1% so far. Imagine that will go down a bit when the plane wheels touch the tarmac at DUB tomorrow for a bit of heating..🤣

The new energy app is showing about 0.2-0.3% "standby" usage a day, nothing really (with Sentry off of course)

I keep sentry on all the time unless the car is parked at home in which case I rely on CCTV and the car is safely parked inside my gates anyway. I am hearing of people turning sentry off the whole time. This seems like madness as you won't catch that @sshole in the carpark who damages your car with their trolley/handbag/key/car and you are left with zero come back. Sentry is a great feature and for a few cents worth of energy when the car is parked up, I think it is well worthwhile having it on. The playback feature needs improvement though.

Exactly the same here.

I don’t care how much it uses will out and about. It’s worth it.

Anybody else having issues with the windows squeaking when dropping?

I have to lower my window twice per day (entering and exiting work).

I silicone spray the lower seal and it is fine - 2 weeks later - really loud squeaking again of the rubber against the window. Has anybody found this and if yes, any more permanent fix?

This is driving me mental too, all four of my windows squeak. Part of me thinks it is the shampoo/wax I use when I wash the car, and that maybe it's leaving a slight residue on the glass, but I'm not sure.

slave1

Sounds like the laminated glass is thicker and perhaps the contact points were not flexed enough to accommodate the extra thickness?

Re shampoo, ph neutral shampoo will alleviate that but I doubt it's that

I would say it's possibly not the shampoo you're using - I haven't washed my car in a while and still have ocassionally squeaky windows.

I have used the Gummipflege stick recommended earlier in the thread and it resolves it for a significant time.

Yep had this too and logged service request. Ranger sorted it on all 4.

The window squeak is the lubricant on the window frames has dried up and/or dissapated...

I find its more pronounced in colder weather as everything tightens up in the lower temperatures..

@Mike2006 have you tried putting some silicone on a cloth and rubbing it in around the upper parts of the rubber frame? as that's where I find the squeak comes from, not the lower part in the door itself!!

Lights are somewhat improved in new update. Wipers still crap. Neither are as good as my old 2006 e60 535d

How do you book a ranger appointment? I can only see the service centres.

Gumbo

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119905806#Comment_119905806

Pick a Centre and if the job is deemed ok for a ranger Tesla will edit it.

If there’s space for notes you can also mention that you are ok waiting for a ranger if it suits.

You don't book a Ranger appointment.

you book an SC appointment and based on what you submit, Tesla will determine if its a Ranger job and make the appointment for the ranger visit accordingly..

slave1

You could phone the SC and make sure it's a Ranger call but the SC no longer take telephone calls

Wondering how many of the Model 3 owners have PIN entry required to drive. Remember from ages ago there was lots of chat about Tesla's among other cars getting stolen by thieves amplifying the key signal from owners homes.

slave1

I do, set it first thing when I sat into the car, fob goes in faraday bag every night too. It's not just Tesla, it's any car with remote keys and no insertion of physical key

I used to hate it.

Now it’s just normal.

You get used to it and it becomes second nature. You get some strange looks from first time passengers though 🤣

slave1

Facial recognition would be easier, it's not as if there isn't an internal camera pointed right at you!

rodneytrotter15

As much and all as the thought of just being able to sit in and drive via the phone appeals to me I think I'll just set it. I do leave the car keys in a faraday box at the moment at night.

I use it, very minor inconvenience for piece of mind!

Are yous talking about the putting the key cards in a faraday bag or has everyone got Tesla key fobs?

I know I should turn on pin to drive as the Bluetooth can be boosted and it’s been demonstrated on YouTube but I don’t really want to🤣

AndyBoBandy

The relay attack was generally only possible on the older S/X as they all came with a key fob.

If you only have the 2 supplied key cards and your phone as a key in a Model 3, you can't be relay attacked in the same way that a Model S was stolen from Swords about 2 years ago. The Model 3 key fob which can be purchased in the Tesla store does have a feature to defend against relay attacks in that if it detects no motion for a few minutes, it goes to sleep and stops sending/receiving any wireless signals. It will only activate again when you grab your keys and it senses the movement.

Key Cards don't need to go into a faraday pouch, they'll only work in close proximity to the door pillar and centre console (like chip n pin).

I used to turn off bluetooth on my phone at night as my phone is left on a bedside locker right next to the wall where the car is just outside and below... but that only lasted about 2-3 weeks, and 2.5 years later I never give it a second thought! Some phones I believe you can schedule bluetooth on/off at certain times, but don't think I can do it on an iPhone! (would be handy to save phone battery).

If the bluetooth is ever boosted, Pin to Drive is the last line of defence.... It was turned on the day we collected the car before we left Sandyford, and it's been on ever since.

Arrived home yesterday evening after 12 days away. Car only lost 1% of battery, which seems very low considering temp was quite cold. Resisted temptation to check car too often when away, perhaps 3 times total.😊.

Used another 1% giving the car a quick heat to 18.5c when hopped on airport bus and switching on drivers seat heater and steering wheel heater. Driving to and from airport was 308 km total, both trips were during rush hours traffic so Naas to airport and return was often 50km/h or less. About 50 km each way at 110-120km/h and rest 80km/h speed limit. 23% left when home. Started with 100%.

Looks like my 4km/% is fairly accurate for mixed mainly easy driving at this time of year. Impressed considering the trip up was very wet, yet mild and light tail wind. Trip home was dry and cold but a head wind.

March 2022 Model 3 RWD LFP.

You’ll have no key. It’s the phone or a keycard.

The keycard only works when held against the pillar too.

I still turn my Bluetooth off every evening. Having lost an Ioniq in 2019 to a relay attack I don't fancy losing a Tesla too

Use pin2drive on mine. For the most part it’s no bother. The only pain is I need to get out of the car at work where I charge my car to swipe the gate to get out. Which means I have to enter it twice with in a min or two.
