Hello All
For the last couple of days I have been having an intermittent
problem
with my Model 3.? Sometimes when I start the car there is a
warning
message about the brake hold not working.? Also, the backup camera
and
cruise control does not work.? The next time I drive the car,
everything
works.? Has anyone else experienced this problem and what is the
fix?
Thanks!
George
Hi George,
Have not had this problem.? My Model 3 for all practical purposes is
a
perfect car, and one of the best cars ever made.? I am a lifelong
car
enthusiast, racer and general car nut.
Tesla issued a recall for the video cable that connects to the rear
camera in the trunk lid.? They used a solid core cable in some cars
that can eventually wear out.? The recall action is to install a
clip
to increase the bend radius around a corner, or replace the cable if
it's actually worn.? Wear may vary based on the number of times the
trunk has been opened and/or other factors.
All of my few interactions with Tesla service have been very
positive.
Suggest you contact them.
Technical tip for all Tesla drivers: if you think your car has a
fault, push the voice response botton (usually right button on
steering wheel) and say "bug report" then describe the problem. This
stores and flanks recent log files for analysis by Tesla.
Tesla has telematics for all the cars that records service
information, faults, diagnostics, etc., automatically. The bug report
feature flags events and helps tie them to service requests.
The cars log everything and Tesla usually knows about faults
automatically.
