Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

I wonder is it to do with the move to Vision?

the wipers were always vision based (and never this bad), so now with vision/cameras doing all the work for AutoPilot, I wonder have the wipers taken the hit in terms of computing power allocated..?

MightyMunster · 03-12-2022 11:34PM

Agreed, wipers worse now than ever before. Did a 5hr each way trip only a few weeks ago with a mixture of all weather's, sunshine, dark and wipers were grand. No issues. One update later and they're way worse. Lights are better now though

AndyBoBandy · 03-12-2022 11:54PM

my car never got affected with the auto headlights….. after that big update, Auto high beams came on once, and I turned it off, and it’s never come on again despite using autopilot hundreds of times and having at lease 2-3 subsequent updates.. so I must have glitched the matrix!!

But with the auto wipers, and needing them on auto to use AutoPilot, yeah I’ve unfortunately been lumped with that, and I can see it being an utter disaster here in Ireland where we get more types of rain than there are species of fish!!!

I love Autopilot/Cruise Control, and use it about 99.99% of the time I’m on any motorway/dual carriageway, and probably about 60-70% of the time on most other roads…. So I hope Tesla will reimburse me for wiper blades when they get worn out Ona. Dry windscreen….

Went to add mudflaps today, front ones are held on with a bolt underneath, appears to be a 10 and hard to get to. Anyone been able to remove the stock flaps able to confirm?

Also, the clip that holds the top of the flaps on, I couldn't get it to clip, do I just need a bit more force?

slave1 · 04-12-2022 09:40AM

Data module for centre console, I’d like it but not at this price…

Should be easy and removable without any hassle. I took mine straight off the minute i got home.

Its a 10, yes. The rear flaps were a pain to install for me. The bolt aligned easily and the clip section needed a little force to slot into place, but it was a nightmare aligning the hole for the expanding clip.

I may swap out the original fronts, but right now, I see no need.

Redfox25 · 04-12-2022 11:00AM

I might need a socket to grip it, have a ring spanner and it's not aligning correctly on the front , probably too big to get in far enough to grip the nut

With the rumors of an M3 refresh coming in 2013 here’s a pic of a camouflaged M3 with what appears to be cameras in the front headlight.

M3 Refresh? But I just bought mine 🤣

Probably not a bad idea.....see too many M3s around the place

Could be nothing. Could be just a mark or sticky pod on the camo cover.

WRT refresh, yes runoured for 2023. It’s 5 years then since it was launched (2018 in the US) so around about the time Tesla do it.

MS got it in 2016 following release in 2012. And again in 2021.

slave1 · 04-12-2022 03:29PM

Rumors are Elon is ticked about the refresh, if so a refresh is a cert. Tesla refreshes are modest to date so not expecting big changes. There have been so many updates since launch already.

Still see very few in Wexford/Waterford area.

At least still get (And give) a wave..☺️

...Ghost... · 04-12-2022 06:47PM

I prefer the ongoing refresh' they do, rather tan big changes. Like the 2022 model having chrome delete, no piano black console and an overhaul of the console design in general. Not to mention the power tail lift 😊.

Model S old to new bumper was a big difference and a welcome one at that.

I’d be happy with no exterior changes.

Maybe powered frunk.

Id like the stalkless wheel but not the yolk.

Id like the haptic switches.

Privacy glass should be standard now like the Y.

Sequential indicator lights maybe?

mfceiling · 04-12-2022 09:14PM

I'm having serious trouble with the car reducing my speed. Today I was sitting in traffic and it beeped that the speed was limited to 89kmh. I went on to join the m50 and when I put my foot down to accelerate on the slip road it reduced it again to 74kmh. Cars were bombing past me. I felt like I was driving a hearse.

Just there I went to collect my daughter at her friends and it limited me to 99. When I arrived at the house it was at 96.

The ranger performed a full software and diagnostic update and it didn't work. I brought it back to Tesla and they kept it for 24 hours but couldn't find a fault. They "think" they might know the problem and have ordered a replacement part but there is no sign of it yet. Disappointed to say the least.

That’s really disappointing. Has anyone else had this issue? Google throw up anything?

rocky · 04-12-2022 10:23PM

Is it only limiting you on autopilot, or it won't get past the speed even when you press the accelerator?

Nothing that I can see unfortunately.

Also Spotify has gone to hell. Just a blank screen with a spinning circle. Tried the 2 button reset and signing out and in of the account but it still messes around.

That's the thing. I can't think of any part of the exterior needing a change. Perhaps too much, but making it a hatch would be perfect.

I wouldn't be keen on stalkless. Not ready for that, but I have a couple of ideas, such as short stalks integrated to wheel.

Tinted definitely should be standard. What are flawless charging for the rears? Is it done same day?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119957205#Comment_119957205

Not the same thing, but occasionally reduced max speed on autopilot. Can't override it either when it happens and it's necessary to disengage AP.

I had this on and off after picking up the car in March. A restart of the car would usually clear it, but it got too much when I pulled out to overtake a truck on the motorway and was suddenly limited to 98km/h.

When I logged a service request with Tesla they needed to know when it had happened and if possible a photo of the error message. I could provide both.

They narrowed it down to a temperature sensor which is part of the rear drive inverter. They ordered the part and it took about 5-6hours for them to replace at the service centre.

Haven't had the issue in six weeks since then.

Im Not sure if the costs for the tints alone as I got a few other bits done such as PPF on the centre console and an exterior wash (paid for by Tesla) so was all bundled into one.

I also got the rear gills done right up to the roof bar and the fronts done so just the rears would have to be priced by Padraic in there.

slave1 · 04-12-2022 11:46PM

Flawless are €170 for the full rear roof window, you’d want to go somewhere that has done this before as there’s a good bit of water involved and water not good for EVs, took about 3 hours so I walked up to the Botanic Gardens to kill the wait. I had my rear seat windows done on separate occasion locally for €70

Someone posted here very recently with the cost. I'll check back.

PPF for the console? Is it prone to scratching in the 22 model? I might cover mine if so.

I have ordered illuminated sill covers from Ali to help keep the kids from scuffing them,

I have the gloss black 2020 version.

It was either brand new M3 SR+ or a 2020 M3P when I sold my P90D so I stuck to my roots and stayed loyal to the P 🤣

Boscoirl · 05-12-2022 01:11PM

Anyone have to replace an alloy yet on their M3? serious damage on the passenger side wheels after hitting a pothole( we think)

AndyBoBandy · 05-12-2022 01:18PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119958845#Comment_119958845

no, but spare wheels usually always show up on ebay, either from the U.K., or Lithuania (I have seen truck loads of crashed Tesla's being driven around Lithuania as they buy them for deck all from Europe/U.S. and scavenge the usable parts to sell on).

Boscoirl · 05-12-2022 01:28PM

Thanks. Will take a look

Ouch, where was the pothole, if on council managed roads you may have a claim against the council if they repaired it previously in a substandard manner.

Road near me was dug up by the council and they botched filling it in, day or so later a deep pothole appeared, was puddles so I could not see it and went straight over/through it and wrecked a shock/alloy. Took photos and phoned council to tell them their fault, cheeky bastards filled it in (again) the next day but I had my photos. They tried to ignore me (saying engineer visited AFTER second attempt to fill in) and sent me a PFO letter so I sent them a "fine, don't worry about it so, I'll pass to my solicitors if I don't get all my costs covered in next 30 calendar days and I have my photos of botched repair #1" letter. Cheque received two weeks later.

Boscoirl · 05-12-2022 04:03PM

I wasnt in the car at the time, so not sure where it happened, the car felt fine after (still does, except there is a slow puncture), when they were on the way back they tried to look out for it, but didnt see it.

taking it to someone on the way home to take a look at it. on the off chance it can be repaired, need two tyres too :(
