My experience with the Tesla Model 3

[Cyle]

That's odd. Never had a issue with mice unless it's sitting for a long time, especially not parked inside.

 

[Cdnfireman]

Yeah, and mice already liked chewing on non-peanut flavoured wires... I’m locking my cats in the garage for a few days.

Ripping apart my dads car right now to see if they have been in it. This is what the front of a model S looks like...

thanks for the update. Damn mice are destructive little ba$tards.... hopefully Tesla will come out with a tazer option to zap the little critters....

 

[Director]

Of all the things to take down the Tesla... That's a couple of really expensive bites in wiring..

 

[doorfx]

A lot of the manufacturers are using soy based wiring as well. My buddy had the same thing happen on his wife’s brand new Toyota

 

[skegpro]

They used to use plastic insulation , now many manufacturers use soy , corn and peanut flavored insulation because that it is environmentally friendlier for rodents.

Should be laced with warfin

"It's unclear if the owner would be covered by ICBC if an accident were to happen in summon mode."

That was the line in the story which caught my attention.

How annoying is that going to be one day when everyone has that, and nobody will just walk to there parking spot at the grocery store any more.


It will be like the super annoying horn/ lock button on steroids haha

Pretty cool, but holy cow would that be annoying if you were behind it trying to get out of the same parking lot. Frick was that slow

I can’t wait until some 14 year old computer nerd hacks into Tesla and starts playing bumper cars with these things.

Home insurance cover the damages? It has covered other claims like this.

I didn't even try. Damage wasn't that far from the deductible so just paid out of pocket. They always get their money back in the end anyways.

Good on Tesla for stepping up and doing the right thing. Hopefully this kind of thinking spreads so the hackers might be motivated to improve things instead of messing things up.

Back to -20 temps again. I find on short trips with a cold soaked battery I'm using 50% more energy. Typically would use 20% per day but now at 30%. This is one of the reasons I went with a larger battery. The model 3 does not have a battery heater like the model S. It stalls the rotors to create heat that is pumped through the coolant in the battery pack. Once the battery is warm it's much better. You can negate a lot of this by having a heated garage or having it plugged in with scheduled charging. Cost wise these temps can add up to an additional $1.50 per day.

That's gonna cut into your starbucks/timmies fund

New software update yesterday. Nothing too major but got another 5% power increase, one pedal driving (no need to use brakes to stop), automatic navigation, and scheduled charging.

What happens if you don't like an update? Can you roll it back?
