Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

Great stuff that Collinite 845. Small bit goes a long way which makes it very cheap, easy to apply by hand if don’t have a polisher and gives a great finish too.

Yes very easy to apply and buff off. And doesn't matter if comes in contact with plastics, no whitening like waxes of old. Love the water beading..

Also got my first snow foamer the other day, one that attaches to a standard hose. Never bothered with one before, but makes car easy to wash in one go when not too dirty.

Another one to check out, got some touch-up paint from them before.

I have used mild car polish (Autoglym) before to clean windscreen glass, and it worked OK. These days I use autoglym Fastglass cleaner first, then the Autoglym glass polish.

I'm hoping to do it this weekend, as I too am getting a kind of misting on the screen when it's raining.

theres a few videos on YouTube that show how to do it up against a wall, but for me, I just auto level them when parked in my local Tesco (assuming the ground is reasonably level). I used to do it manually by adjusting each side up or down as required, but was doing it while reversed up my driveway at a slight incline, so I was still noticing them high and getting flashed regularly.. so now I find the best way is just park on a level surface, and if possible pointing towards a wall, and if the right beam is slightly lower than the left beam after they self level, I just exit out of the menu and don't make any further adjustments.. (I should note though that I have a 2020 Model 3 with the pre matrix lights if that makes any difference).

The 1st app you should get is PlugShare.. Its a user based app which shows all public chargers along with what apps you need to use them, and also has photo's for reference, as well as recent user check-in's (so you can see how reliable they are and if any recent issues etc...). Use PlugShare to scout out locations where you might visit and need a charge (brown are DC fast chargers and green are AC chargers).

The main one would be ESB eCars - sign up for a prepay account (must have at least €20 in the account to initiate a charging session), and use their app and they'll also send you an rfid card

After that I'd suggest EasyGo (next big one after eCars), and again, probably a prepay account there would suffice, you have to pay them for an raid fob, but I don't have one and the app alone would probably suffice (I'd use them rarely, but always handy to have an account with).

Then Ionity, but they are few and far between (I've only used them twice in Ireland in over 3 years) (many different apps work with Ionity, I use Chargepoint, who also sent me an rfid card).

Applegreen seem to be moving in the right direction with decent sites coming online (although expensive (as are Ionity)), AG have an app thats almost identical to the ESB eCars app, but they also allow tap to pay at the chargers but this will incur a €30 hold placed on your payment card, using their app avoids this block.

CircleK are only getting into the game, and only allow tap to pay so no card/app needed there (but they have a scant offering so far)

Get RFID cards where possible as a backup as sometimes the apps dont play nice. I always use RFID cards as I cant be bothered opening up my phone.

The only exception is the older green ESB 50kw units, which often have card reader problems.

Of course none of this applies to Superchargers!

Is plug and charge available to Tesla's on the Ionity network?

A new feature, not sure if only after update 2023.20.4.1, you can now preview all 7 cameras on the car.

Menu. Service. Scroll down to Camera preview.

I had exactly the same thing happen. Thought it was related to the software update. (Tho must confess, there was an initial minutevor so of panic!!!).

Did Tesla remove the parking sensors from the model 3?

whenever that happened to me, I found a few taps of the brake pedal and a few pulls of the stalk to try and get in into gear would always do the trick and wake the screen up...

Either way I'd report it if it keeps happening and the above tricks don't work..
