Repeater glare and how to fix it (if you dare!)
Переглядів 80 тис.2 роки тому
Update - We wrongly assumed that the redesigned PCB without holes had eliminated the glare, but it doesn't. Only the 149586x-20-D revision parts have eliminated the glare properly. The -C repeaters still have glare which comes from the glue holding the camera onto the PCB transmitting the LED light into the sensor. We'll post a follow up video soon with more details.

TEVO Master Cylinder Bracket just released!
Переглядів 2 тис.2 роки тому
Do you want a firmer pedal? Come on, we all want a firmer pedal! A lot of cars suffer from this problem. The brake master cylinder, which transmits the pressure from your foot into the braking system, can flex at the point it's attached to the car's firewall. The answer is a bracket or brace which stops this flexing and gives you a firmer feel when braking hard which in turn gives you better co...
Removing Model 3 Headrests temporarily
Переглядів 68 тис.3 роки тому
Question: Can Tesla Model 3 headrests be removed? Answer: Yes, but always drive with them fitted! Follow up question: Why would you want to do that though? Answer: You may want to remove one temporarily so you can fit a coat/bag hook or camera mount, or maybe do some cleaning or search for an ear ring which fell off and you think might be in the space between the headrest and the seat. Yes, I k...

Tesla Model 3 windscreen washer secrets revealed!
Thanks for sharing this amazing knowledge! Going to fix mine tomorrow!
is it really necessary to remove the vent patch when in the oven?
It speeds up the process but not essential
@@TeslaGurus you are totally right. I had it in for 2 hrs and everything wasn’t gone… then removed it and the process went faster. Bad thing is that I still haven’t got the liquid tape so I’ll have to mount it and the remove it again…
Does this also affect 2022 model 3 as well?
Shouldn't do
Front aero shield was torn/hanging. I think it was from driving through a water covered freeway (going about 35-40miles/hour). Tesla is quoting $520 for repair/replacement of the aero shield... I've had the car since 2021.
Great presentation, thank you!
Instructions unclear, I have toaster marks on my taillight. Jokes aside, great video and analysis.
Without doing any research I just drilled vertically up into the affected light on the bottom so the water would run out. I used probably 1/8th inch bit. I had a half inch of water in it after a year of ignoring it. It didn't clear the fog right away but now that it's warm weather it's clear and hasn't fogged up since. I didn't need to remove it.
Dumb question but what did you do with the Gore patch while the light was drying out, to maintain the stickiness of it?
If it doesn't stick, use superglue!
this is a really nice video. very helpful as out of warranty.
i cant afford a oven
Excellent video thanks!! I suggest sealing with 3m 08578 strip calk. OEM grade semi rubber, semi goo, 100% awesome. We called it dumdum in the body shop I worked at when I learned about it. Fantastic product for many uses including sealing a lamp.
Great job in diagnosing this issue. It's the first real explanation I have seen. I bought a used 2022 Model 3 and the taillight had condensation in it. The dealer I bought it from agreed to install a new taillight and I have not had any problems with condensation forming in it. So, it is possible that Tesla has corrected this manufacturing defect. It appears that is the case. It only makes sense because it would cost Tesla a huge amount of money to repair these under warranty. Again, you did a superb job in diagnosing and fixing this issue. You did an amazing job!
Very informative. I know now how to fix if it happens to my 2022 M3 LR.
Awesome, thank you!!
Such a great and informative video; thank you for all this knowledge
Great information videos are you going to be doing anymore?
Thank you! I had to replace my driver side headrest which was bubbling, and leaked black sticky goo. This was helpful/
3 year update?
My front cover came loose. It snapped around the bolt holes at the rear of the cover on both sides. Have ordered an aftermarket replacement made of metal.
Awesome video That's totally worth a shot.
I hate how the 2021 to 2023 Uberturbine wheels and tires look. When I got my 2022 Model 3 Performance, the first thing I did was ordering a new set of wheels and tires from T-Sportline. I got the Aftermarket Arachnid style (TSS 20) 20" staggered 8.5" front and 10" rear. The tires are the very same Michelin Pilot Sport that used to come with the older wheels, but different size for the rear, so the fit is perfect since my front wheels are now 8.5" wide using the 235/35-20 tires and the rear have 275/30-20 tires. I could technically go with 245 in the front and 285 or even 295 in the back to make them real wide which not only looks better and gives more traction but also protects the rim outer border from scratches much better, but it would mean less range and technically a bit of less acceleration. I will be thinking about it later on when it is time to replace my tires (I am about half way with around 10K miles on them). One thing I made sure to select was the tires WITHOUT the foam inside. It has been proven by many people using electronics that the foam does not reduce noise, and if it does, it is so minimal that it is not worth the price and more important, the problems they create when they get a nail, which most tire shops will not patch them and will ask you to buy new ones instead. Just not worth it. If you want less noise, just get some sound deadening foam for your Tesla and be over with it.. or get the new Model 3 Highland that has more noise canceling parts like the glass on the windows. Also, the new wheels I got are a bit lighter so that is another plus. I am very happy with the package I got, the day I decide to sell my Tesla, I will be looking into either a new Model 3 Performance (Ludicrous??) or if I can afford it, a Model S Plaid, and I will be for sure getting again a new set of wheels and tires from T-Sportline, hopefully they will continue to sell the Arachnids, they look amazing, and they are a better deal than stock ones, even for the Model S Plaid, as the package is cheaper than adding the original Arachnid wheels when you order it, and you can sell the stock ones with brand new tires right after just like I di recovering at least half the money. It is just the right option.
This is quick around the Indy circuit for a heavy stock car. It’s a similar time a friend was doing a track prepped Clio Williams which lapped 57-58sec a lap.
Thanks for this one. Even though I don't have this issue I like the approach to repair and imrpove
don't put your headlamp in the oven, its a terrible way to dry, you need airflow through the headlamp. if you have a shopvac that blows, use an attachment that you can stick inside it and give it 10-15 minutes.
Putting the light unit in a very low oven as we describe is no different to the car sitting outside in the sun on a hot day and is the best way to drive moisture out of the assembly through the Gore patch. There isn't an opening on these rear light clusters you can get an airline or hairdryer into and in any case blowing cold air into them isn't going to do a lot if a lot of water has got in.
👍🏾
I have this on a March 2022 Fremont built Model 3. When did this new camera design come?
Good expertise, but if your Tesla is still under warranty then hell yes, you should make them replace the tail lights considering how much you paid for the car.
Excellent explanation - very thorough, and very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks.
Onja!
I did not know they did this event there. Cool accolade for John.
Be interested in a cost breakdown of each of those upgrades mentioned
Can I apply painters tape on the lights..!! Will that fix this issue
I had to replace the front cover on my 2018 Model 3. Don’t know how it happened but Tesla charged us about $ 200. To replace it.
Nice video. I went to Tesla SC to ask them to check the tail light as it has condensation. They refused saying that it's mentioned in the owner's manual and it's normal. This is the excerpt from the owner's manual: "Condensation in Head or Tail Lights Due to weather changes, humidity levels, or recent exposure to water (such as a car wash), condensation may occasionally accumulate in your vehicle’s head or tail lights. This is normal- as the weather gets warmer and humidity decreases, condensation often disappears on its own. If you notice water buildup within the exterior lenses, or if the condensation affects the visibility of the exterior lights, contact Tesla Service." It's anti-consumer. They want to get rid of their responsibilities.
Hairdryer is a good option
Yeah puddles cost about 550😂
I've told Tesla this issue and they said it's a common thing and have to live with it lol
Excellent video!
Help!! I can’t get my headrest to snap back in place!
Mounting a very expensive, large surfaced, complex, thin, brittle plastic box to project out, while simultaneously sit in contact with, a door that people like to slam is just dumb. In fact, in engineering parlance, criminal.
I don’t know what black magic you’re using here because this isn’t working for me. Lol I can move the clip but still can’t disengage the headrest
Did you manage to work out which ones have glare and which dont? Does the 50-j or 50-H have glare?
Sorry, no
@TeslaGurus I've got a 20-C and and 20-d and both have a very small amount of indicator glare. Wonder if the new E has this.
Amusingly I did this same procedure for the headlight on my 30-year-old Nissan. I used JB weld instead of the liquid tape. Did the trick. Funny that brand new Teslas have the same issue as my old clunker.
I tried to lift up my model 3 qith hydraulic lifter and I put that near to wheel all of sudden i saw liquid started to drip can anyone help me?
Nice job
totally helpful
Hi - is this not part of warranty?
Could this be the problem with front headlights also?
