A few hours ago, I got a notification about a software update. The release notes said it was only minor bug fixes. I updated it anyway. As soon as the update was completed, I got an email from Tesla telling me that I now had FSD for free for 1 month. I live in a small rural village where there...

I'm just entering my 4th winter with my 2020 M3LR. Yesterday I parked the car at 12:30PM. It had 154 miles of range. The temperature was just above freezing. Overnight the temperature got down to about 26 degrees(F). Now, after being parked for about 22 hours the car is down to 140 miles of...

A few days ago, when I started my 2020 M3LR, I got the following message, "Dashcam Unavailable Check USB. I reformatted the USB drive I had in the center console and still got the message. So, I ordered a new SanDisk 256gb USB drive. It arrived today and I inserted it into the slot in the...

I charged my 2020M3 to 85% two days ago. Since then it has been sitting in my driveway, still plugged in. The temperature this morning at 7AM was 14 degrees F. I opened the app to see how much charge (if any) I had lost since the car reached 85% two days ago. I was happy to see it had only lost...

My wife and I are planning to take our 2021 Tesla M3LR from Western MA to Los Angeles later this year. I went to the "Go Anywhere" page on Tesla.com several days ago. I selected my car model, then my starting point and end point, and waited, and waited and waited, but nothing happened. I had the...

I recently got this email from PlugShare. It's about a survey that will monitor my battery usage and health over time. I'm considering signing up for it but I'm also wondering if anyone else has signed up and if so, has the experience been good or bad. I'm also concerned about allowing any third...

On October 12th a good friend backed her SUV into my M3 while it was parked in her driveway! And before I go any further I'll say that we are still good friends. The front bumper is a mess, the frunk lid is badly bent, and the front left fender looks damaged too. Two days after the accident I...

It was a year ago yesterday that we picked up our M3LR.. I've never had so much fun with a car in my life! Other than two very minor service appointments the car has been flawless. I constantly look for reasons to go someplace in it, and when I can't find a reason, hell, I just go. The car goes...

I took my 2020 M3 in for servicing in Watertown MA this morning. An interior trim piece had come loose. They did a great job of fixing it. About 40 miles into my trip back home I tried to play some music from my iPhone library via bluetooth, but couldn't. I decided to listen to the radio instead...

I live in rural New England. I bought my M3LR last September. This summer the temperature has only rarely hit 90 degrees. Yet on numerous occasions, often with the air temperature under 85 degrees, I have walked out to the car and heard the ventilation fan running. Checking the car's state of...

We recently spent 10 days on vacation in L.A. We rented a Kia Optima. Here are a few of the things that it took time to get used to: 1. Remembering to turn it off and take the keys. Half a dozen times I just got out of the car and started to walk away, leaving the keys in the ignition and...

OK, this is a very minor issue but it's also annoying. Whenever I drive past a particular house in my town I notice that it is labelled as the Johnny Appleseed Information Center. I know the people who live there and they have nothing to do with Johnny Appleseed. In fact, the guy's home town is...

Yesterday, while coming out of a rotary and onto a 4 lane road, I noticed something I hadn't seen before. There was a vehicle on my right, and slightly behind me. I had just passed him. Suddenly, on my touch screen, that vehicle's image briefly turned from gray to red. (And, oddly, that car's...

A friend ordered a Model Y on Saturday, 4/18 using my referral number. I opened the Tesla App this morning and went to the My Referrals page and there was a confirmation of the order, with her first name. But there was also a confirmation for another order by another friend of mine dated today...

I'm wondering if I would get any extra miles on a long trip if I made sure the headlights and fog lights were both off during the day. I know LED lights don't use a lot of power, but I'm still curious if I might get a few extra miles by keeping the lights off during the day on a long trip.

Hello. I just joined after spending some time on the Tesla forum. I'm actually glad it's being shut down. There was way too much negativity there. I bought my 2020 M3 LR in September and love the car. I can't wait until it's safe enough to take it on a multi-day road trip. Hopefully this summer
