Tesla Model X: My AC is not working.

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 22:18:36 -0700

The A/C is blowing air, and the air feels slightly cool, but it is not cooling the cabin effectively. Even with the A/C set to LO and the fan running, the inside of the vehicle remains very hot. The outside temperature is approximately 103°F. The airflow seems normal, but the cooling performance is much weaker than expected.

After I plug the charger into my Tesla, it starts charging normally and I can hear the relay clicking inside the charger. However, after about 10 to 30 seconds, the car reports that charging has stopped, and one red light appears on the charger.

What could be wrong with the charger, and which component might need to be repaired or replaced?

Tesla Model 3: Tail lights swap US-EU

Mon, 10 Jun 2024 08:32:07 -0700

Hi guys!

I own an US - Tesla Model 3 and a friend of mine owns a EU - Tesla Model 3.

Now, we want to swap the tail lights with each other. I would like the orange blinkers and he want the red ones.

His car is from 2023 and mine is from 2021.

Now my question, can we just swap them? Or do we need adapters to get it working? Is it possible at all??

I know Tesla need to recode it which will cost $300. It’s fine as long it will fit and work.

Thanks in advance!!
