    Switch to all weather tires or invest in a rim + winter tire setup?

    yeah i don't push the limits of my vehicle. the appeal of all-weather i figured is slapping one set of tires on and forgeting about it till the tread life is gone. and i do realize it's still a compromise for dry pavement driving and wet/winter driving. we get a lot of rain here but not all out...

    Switch to all weather tires or invest in a rim + winter tire setup?

    sorry yes i meant the 3 peak thing. i always thought all-weather was distinct from all-season...with the implication that all season means it's rated for snow whereas all-season really was "3 season" and "good luck if you're relying on it in snow".

    Switch to all weather tires or invest in a rim + winter tire setup?

    Where i live, we require tires with the M+S designation for routes when driving up to ski mountains and on certain out of town highways. All season tires don't fit the bill but the all weather tires like the CC2 do. How many km/miles did the CC2 last you? cheers!

    Switch to all weather tires or invest in a rim + winter tire setup?

    For this winter, I was all set on getting extra rims and dedicated winter tires (and i guess the BLE sensors too) for my M3. i am still on the stock 18" wheels at 12,000km so far. But now i'm having second doubts about that and wondering if I should just get a good set of all weather tires such...

    5 Years with the Model 3

    it's great to hear these reports from the early adopter owners. it's critical long term data that we don't have yet. i'm on track to hit 35,000km in the first year so i feel less bad hearing that you are doing 47k annually ;-) thanks for sharing!

    Tesla Delivery experience lacking in customer service

    I had a great experience and talked to a bunch of folks when i took delivery of my M3. They walked out with me to the car and installed my license plates for me. She even asked which mats i got, i got these third party ones and she said good, she said the OEM ones were not as good. She showed me...

    Getting "Front passenger safety restraint system fault" error right after updating software

    All I know is I saw it was loose. Plugging it in it still seems flimsy?? Seems flimsy design

    Getting "Front passenger safety restraint system fault" error right after updating software

    So I got the guy to come last week to replace the OCS. On the first drive after the fault came back 🤦‍♂️ I’ve got another mobile service schedule this week. However yesterday in exasperation I bent over to look under the passenger seat and noticed one of the cables with a yellow head was loose...

    Tesla new model silhouette

    if it's already being built as Musk states it is, i wonder why he didn't bother showing it during the 2023 Investor Day as clearly it's already been designed and prototyped.

    Getting "Front passenger safety restraint system fault" error right after updating software

    I received this error for the first time on Saturday. Since then though i haven't received this error. If there really is an issue, will it keep popping up the same message? i'm just wondering if i need to contact the SC....

    Is now REALLY a good time to buy a new Tesla? [Jan 2023 / April 2023]

    i kinda agree. I purchased a SR3 in february. here in canada, the price drop of 5k triggered the additional 5k federal grant so 10k off. maybe prices will drop further in canada who knows. but i'm happy as a clam. i know it has no radar, and just HW3...but i didn't really buy it because i have...

    My premium connectivity is still working after the 30 day trial…

    My premium connectivity trial ended yesterday April 8. It’s still working today on the 9th! Anyone else get this? Are they just being sloppy in when it they end it?! I deinfitelt do not have a subscription and the car still says it ends April 8.

    Discussion: HW.4 Suite - Availability, retrofit, suitability etc.

    My limited understanding is while Waymo has "solved' some of these issues, they've done so via techniques that are not going to scale for the masses. Requiring detailed 3D maps that need to be constructed (and subjected to change in the real world) and requiring specialized and expensive sensors...

    Done with Tesla Model Y Performance after 2000km

    i'm a fan of Audi and came from them when i got my M3. i have to agree with others - build quality and paint issues happen to other brands. i've seen misaligned panels on everything from Porsches to Volkswagons to you name it. Tesla gets a black eye and more scrutiny when they do it because they...

    Model 3 - Aero Wheels Curb Rash

    Calibration of new LFP battery

    haha thanks. i feel like a fool! yes it's my thinking and understanding that needs calibration. that makes total sense. ok so that percentage is the energy so i should really think in terms of that, not km. i saw some reference to an energy app or something but have yet to find it on the...

    Calibration of new LFP battery

    hi! Just got my first tesla, my 2023 M3 on thursday! last night i charged to 100% for the first time as tesla recommends charging the LFPs to 100% at least once a week. i drove just 19km this morning and noticed the estimate already dropped down to 93%. it seems like a big drop - 7% in one...

    Is black paint still an issue?

    Black can tend to show swirls perhaps more easily. but that is a function of how you wash the car. google it - lots of guides written online about how to wash your car. best advice is using a pre-wash foam cannon to shoot foam all over the car and get rid of 90% of the dirt. it's the dirt stuck...

    Latest on what is included?

    i'm confused. you did not receive floor mats on your standard range M3? but then you're saying they are giving it with the standard range...? i was told there is none...so i ordered my aftermarket mats

    Latest on what is included?

    i'm taking delivery of my 2023 M3 RWD in two weeks. yeah we lose USS (got the notification from tesla re: tesla vision etc) and the M3 RWD all use the LFP batteries which i quite like.

    Tesla replacing ultrasonic sensors with Tesla Vision

    They must be pretty confident they’ve got a vision based solution that replaces USS. I’m skeptical as I await delivery for my M3 in 2 weeks and I’ve been notified I definitely don’t have USS.

    Tesla official pet liner - are there holes for the seat belt?

    I tried to search for the answer on the forums here but as per the title, does the official Tesla pet liner product allow seat belts to stick out? I could not tell from any of the photos! I carry my white Labrador and my son in the back 😎 Thanks!

    Discussion: Floor Mats in Model 3

    I'm looking at the Taptes 6 piece set. Has anyone had experience with the Taptes? i know some reviewers said the passenger side mat doesn't fit 100% but i guess not everything can be prefect. https://www.amazon.ca/TAPTES-Weather-Waterproof-Odourless-Accessories/dp/B09WMR4F51

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Hi everyone! Put in an order yesterday for a Model 3 RWD up here in canada. With the tesla price drop and the ensuing 5k federal rebate on anything under 55k here in canada (the M3 RWD being the only eligible model), I figured now was the time to pull the trigger! Got it in solid black. Hemmed...
