    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Interesting and I bet it is true. So many bureaucratic hurdles just like matrix lights, mpge estimates, nag effectiveness. When was the last time NHTSA was worried about good old cruise control or pulsing ABS brakes that caused crashes.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    They increased my trade value 1200 week of delivery even though I had an estimate in the account within 30 days.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Just took delivery of stealth grey on X and it is beautiful-much better than I expected. Attached a pixel creep which is interesting bc looks almost black in shade and mysterious in sun catching light nicely.

    MXLR or inventory MXP with repairs

    Understood but trade pricing engines don’t ask month of manf. It is a 23 or 24 so there is a year of depreciation already. If you keep it for 10 yrs doesnt matter but if you trade in 2-3 you will be disappointed

    May 2024 MX Delivery Info Share

    Took delivery Fri. Ordered after the 2k price drop. X 5 seat Stealth/Black. Color is better than expected. Car construction is near perfect just a couple dust nibs and a handful of transport scratches that buffed right out. Birthday 4/25 and no ambient strip or front bumper camera. Efficiency...

    MXLR or inventory MXP with repairs

    Already a year of depreciation and they have not held any value so far. Also camber from factory tends to shred inside tires, so if you don’t care about speed LR 3.8 to 60 should do fine ;)

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Same for me in Boston but no VIN yet. I bet by mid week, and have “felt” delivery will be the 7th since ordering. We will see!

    2024 Model 3 Performance Announced - Discussion thread post announcement

    Welcome! You should visit a showroom where the Model 3 and Y are typically on the floor. One has traditional stalks and the other has none. From those that have switched, they say it only takes a week or so to get used to. This scares a lot of people when Tesla moves the ball forward eg...

    what is FSD 12.3 expected to do when it arrives at its destination?

    Fair enough but the updates happen frequently and are not obvious now. I believe the different behavior was on same version .4. Now on .6 and same approach to driveway and went right past it. Early v12 FSD car would stop in middle of road before driveway entrance. Since .2 it is random whether...

    what is FSD 12.3 expected to do when it arrives at its destination?

    This week it pulled into the driveway and stopped at an appropriate place for first time but yesterday drove right by the driveway. Earlier versions would just stop in the road at head of driveway.

    Brand new 2024 Model X range after charging

    Not a guess o meter, that was the old way with the fixed variable (yes an oxymoron) mentioned above. You can blame the EPA for the change in their methodology which caused Tesla to update the formula for model year 2024. If you have been driving tesla cars for a while, you would notice the 100%...

    Brand new 2024 Model X range after charging

    The algorithm recently changed behind miles displayed. There is nothing wrong with your cars. It used to be a fixed number and then would drop like a rock while driving. Now it is a real time number always. Even new, let’s say battery capacity is 100kw. First mile test driver floors it around...

    Is Stealth Grey a metallic paint?

    Paint in direct sun, take iPhone photo of paint then zoom into picture. If focused the shot you will see all the colors in the paint. MSM for example has tan, violet, blue, etc

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    There are a lot of factors (pack temp parked, ambient and speed driving, HVAC setting) but I notice it will say those messages even if battery temp is 90F. 120 is max system likes and seems to be at full charging capability right over 100F. My point is your battery temp is usually fine after 45...

    March 2024 MX Delivery Info Share

    Exciting a post 3/1 build date! Please let us know if the rumored ambient lighting and front bumper camera are present. I am still wondering if the 2024 efficiency package is hardware and/or software.

    Heat issues while driving only

    I have the same problem and it started a few updates ago. Have mobile visit Monday and hope they can fix. On the center screen icon of hvac control screen it says climate keeper not available - which I think happened same time.

    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    I am sorry to hear this horrific breakdown of societal civility. Don't count on anyone being held responsible under CA laws encouraging this behavior by not prosecuting non-violent (let alone violent) offenses. Just keep paying more out of pocket as the costs trickle down.

    Tire repair kit on Tesla tires with sponge lining

    Thanks but was already at the SC for another issue. They gave me a new tire at no cost, so worked out fine.

    Model 3 LR for LONG daily commute?

    In FL you are probably okay since using autopilot if below 75 mph, but I would want a SC mapped close just in case. If you can get charging at office, better as there are some losses while sitting. It is fine to charge to 100% if you need it, just not letting it sit that high for days. If I...

    Tire repair kit on Tesla tires with sponge lining

    My car was just at the SC and they would not plug the tire (on the tread) which was odd. They would have dug out the liner and plugged from the inside and said the audible profile would change and I would not like it. FWIW

    Original OEM I have no idea what pack, ship, insure is but would certainly not mark it up.

    FS - Boston - Sonic Carbon Slipstream Wheels and Tires

    Here are close ups of the driving remarks. Some of the pics above look like big scratches (not) from the light off the ceramic coat. They had just been washed and we're drying if you wonder about the tire rubber color difference.

    2021 Model 3 Steering Column Side to Side Movement

    I have experienced what you are describing too. It is not obvious but easily noticeable by feel. It doesn't seem unsafe but I am aware in case it gets worse

    17kW System = 98.4 kWh Production (5.79kWh/kW of Panels)

    12.9 system 10 inverter, went from my first 20 day in early Feb to 42 on full sun the other day. Will max out near 80 in May before the summer heat dials it back to low 70s. The difference from solar edge and tesla app production is likely DC (panel) to AC (useable)
