    Tesla Model3 RWD standard wheel

    Thanks. I think I would prefer to run the wheel bare. Not sure if my center caps from my 2021 will work. Anybody know? EDIT. Never mind. I found that they are different. I'll have to order a set. At least they are cheap unless you want carbon fiber.

    24 Model 3 SR "Highland" review from an enthusiast's POV

    A lot of noise here re charging LFP batteries. I'm picking up my new 2024 RWD on Monday. What does Tesla recommend? I've been adhering to their 80/30 recommendation on my current car whenever practical. My current SOH on the battery is at 94.2% and has been so for the last 18 months. Pretty stable.

    Tesla Model3 RWD standard wheel

    I'm on the verge of ordering a 2024 Model 3 RWD. I'm trading in my 2021 SR+. Will the new one have wheel covers like my 2021 or are those bare wheels shown in the pictures. Can't tell from the photos. Standard 18" wheel.

    24 Model 3 SR "Highland" review from an enthusiast's POV

    You made a comparison to Mercedes. That's pretty high praise. I own a Mercedes also. I am getting serious about updating. Do you still stand by your comparison? Is it really that much better? And yes, I like my rough and tumble lightweight, snappy, firmly sprung and responsive SR+. The ride...

    How do we feel about mud flaps?

    How much do they pay to advertise for them? Is it a monthly stipend or a one time payment?

    How do the dual motor work

    Yup! Two model Y motors in the rear and one model Y motor in the front. Lots of oomph there.

    Running Climate On 'Keep'

    Leaving it run, particularly if using just the fan uses very little energy.

    Charge port not opening with button on wand

    TWC? Time Warner Cable? It is very helpful to include at least once in a post the meaning of an obscure acronym. For those of us that hate TLAs

    Phone Key Always Connected at Home, Tesla App massively draining iPhone battery

    I'm not sure it is a problem. I see the same thing. Are you concerned because when you check the battery usage on your phone it shows a high percentage of use by the app? Something always has to be number one. Is it actually impacting your overall battery usage by a significant amount?

    How much brake fluid do I need to bleed/flush?

    1L should easily be more than enough.

    Hands Free Open Trunk

    I use the Tessie app and tell Siri on my watch to open the trunk. Among other things. Does that count as hands free?

    Sorry I didn't see you...

    Drunk? High? Distracted? A Russian? All four? I just don't understand how someone can just drive into another car like that?

    Time to disable bluetooth as a key?

    Pro tip. If the other guy is at fault don't even get your insurance involved. Make a claim with the other guys insurance. It's what I did.

    Let's see those gas guzzlers!!!

    But, can you put the top down and listen to that sweet music? La musica della macchina.
