How to turn off (and KEEP off) the automatic wipers in a Tesla Model 3
The automatic wipers in the Model 3 are terrible. You can turn them off, but every time you turn on the cruise control, the car switches back to auto. I got fed up with the constant distraction of turning them off and set out to find a way to turn them off and KEEP them off!
One way is to remove and replace the wiper motor after installing a custom wiring harness. The other way is to use Enhance Auto's Commander.

    Best tip for cleaning your hands after a brake service job (or any job that includes oil and grease), is cold water, dishwash fluid and most important, used coffee grounds. It leaves your hands clean and soft. The water should be cold, to prevent grease or oil to settle in the pores.

    I suggest opening the brake bleed before pushing the pistons in. Pushing in pistons will push old and potentially dirty brake fluid towards the sensitive abs pump. By bleeding, you let the dirt come out instead of going back.

    • @adamdport
      @adamdport 2 дня назад

      If it's "potentially dirty" then you have some other component failure that needs to be addressed. It should not be dirty. Opening the bleeder introduces the possibility of getting air in the lines which could turn a simple job into a more complicated one.

    I installed aftermarket cabin filters almost exactly a year ago that have the foam lining around the outside and I can say with certainty that the bad smells are gone. Usually about a month into a rainy season it would come back but nothing so far. My Model 3 is 6 years old and I’ve changed the filters with OEM ones 4-5 times. Each time the smell would come back in months. Here we are a year later and nothing! Great videos and kudos for all the experimenting.

    Great job ! 10:12 That pin to lock the transmission of a regular ( hybrid ) car is a bit scary. If the car is still moving and you push the button, that pin will break and parts of that pin destroy your transmission. So that's why you always use the old fashion cable handbrake BEFORE using the electronic transmission lock.
