1. I believe the TPMS resets every time you drive, hence it doesn't show your tire pressure for a minute or two at the start of your drive. In any case, I've had my tires rotated a few times and I know nothing was set by anybody but the readings were still correct. 2. There is no reminder for...

I don't think those photos pose any problem for the 0.5" lower suspension. It's not a miniscule difference but it's pretty small. On a truly unplowed road, it might matter a little, but then you're really wanting something other than a Tesla Model 3, regardless of configuration. If you get...

If the net cost is about the same, definitely get the P and sell the wheels/tire set that comes with it and pick up some aftermarket 18s. You can likely break even or better on that, and depending on the tires you choose you'll have no reduced range or less-smooth ride (I don't think the minor...

Sold.

I think I found the original plan. It was on another forum. Thanks, RSpanner. Model 3 mini Spare tire trunk rack Per some of the comments there, the flat full size tire should fit under this rack.

Some minor curb rash but still look pretty good, I think. See pics. They currently have tires on them, but the tires need replacing. Comes with TPMS. $650.

I really like this solution for the Modern Spare. Not sure I would have ever thought of raising it up on a platform like that! Absolutely brilliant. Would you mind providing a few details? * Looks like this allows you to easily access the subtrunk, is that true? * With the turnbuckles hooked on...

Do we know if the service center can even clear it? And if so, will it come right back if you haven't changed your tire situation? I've gotten a couple of flats and had to replace some tires (Michelin PS4s on 18" wheels). I can match them pretty well on each axle (within one to two 32d's)...

Oh shoot, I would but it says "The time limit to edit this message (60 minutes) has expired."

I wrote this up as a guide for myself and my SO to help transitioning from V10 to V11. Thought it might be helpful to others. I know many folks feel that V11 is a mixed bag at best. This isn't intended to address that, just to help find and do things that we were used to doing a certain way in...

If you tap on the map, the top Navigation panel will move down in order to show the compass icon for map orientation.

Do you have "home" excluded? And if so, how far from "home" are you testing it? I thought I mine wasn't working either, and learned that I needed to drive about 1/4 mile from my house in order for it to work with "home" excluded. Somebody at Tesla must think I have a massive "home." You can...

It’s not a direct answer to your question, but maybe there’s another way to satisfy your other driver. Every week I do a couple of drives of several hours, during which I engage and disengage AP maybe anywhere from 10 to 50 times, either by lifting the stalk because I want to take over for a...

Like @brkaus, I would not trust AP with my life, but I use it all the time, as an assist (and sometimes I assist it). The one feature I have set, which would probably have avoided this particular situation (though I too I’m a skeptic as to whether auto-steer was actually active in this case)...

That's the way it works: if you don't have an Easy Entry profile it creates one, and then uses that upon entry/exit. You can later deselect (or re-select) it in your profile, or any of the other profiles you have set up.

A few thoughts: * Personally, I wouldn't base your timing on the tax credit. Historically, Tesla has adjusted pricing for the tax credit changes, with price drops nearly matching the change in the credit. That might not be true this time, especially now that they're addressing the...

Except that in the pounding sun, my velcro strips pulled off my window. And the clip is available in white, which blends better. And it looks like you can just slip it in place and slip it out whenever you want, so if you don't need the Fastrak all that often, you can stow it somewhere when...

Has anyone tried this? Fastrak Flex Clip for Tesla Model 3

Acknowledging that it would be nice to be able to lock the glovebox with PIN, versus using Valet Mode which disables PIN to drive. But I didn't realize that Valet Mode locks the frunk and glovebox. That's awesome and solves a major problem I had of no adequately secure place for storing my...

I’m gonna need new tires soon and I’m thinking about swapping out the 20” sport wheels on my Performance Model 3 (with performance upgrade package, or “PUP”) for the Tesla 19” sport wheels at the same time. But I’m not sure what all might be involved, due to the extra “lip” on the hubs of the...

If I press the rear passenger door handle in just 1/4" or so, it wakes up my car to allow unplugging the charging cable, without actually opening the door. Not sure why it's necessary, but not quite as clunky as actually opening the door.

My white interior is perfect after a year plus and 17,000 miles. My car was actually a dealer demo with 6,000 miles on it, and no issues on the white interior. I eat in the car, I wear denim, and I've had my friend's French bulldog in the car. I vacuum it (or take it to a car wash where they...

tl;dr version: After a flat tire, roadside service swapped a 19” wheel on my Perf. Model 3 and I was back on the road in under an hour. (Is that a special “universal” wheel or will any Tesla Model 3 19” wheel fit on the Performance 20” hubs/brakes?). Also, should I buy a used tire off eBay to...

I also bought my car (performance model) from inventory, with about 6k miles on it, and got about $6k off. Totally happy with my decision, and totally happy with the car. I knew I wanted the performance model, which is absolutely worth it to me, but that's a personal choice. Still, I would...

Yes, it's great to start each day with a full tank...er, charge! And sweet to be driving maybe the best car ever made. I did get the 10awg solid copper bare wire from Home Depot. They sell it by the foot, in Elk Grove, CA anyway.

I just wanted to report back that I successfully completed the installation on Saturday morning, got my car in the afternoon, and gave it a full (90%) charge that night, at 32A/32A. Satisfying! Photos of the completed installation below. Note that I left some slack in the wires in case I change...

Thanks, all! Exactly the advice I needed! I did have time to pick up separate wires (got separate insulated #6 by the foot in red, white and black from Platt Electric, and #10 bare solid by the foot from Home Depot). I'll install it in the morning, with the new breaker on the top, not moving...

Hi all. I’m picking up my Performance Model 3 tomorrow afternoon (woohoo!) and am hoping to complete a DIY install of a NEMA 14-50 outlet today. Lots of useful info on this forum, but I have a few questions nonetheless. A little background: For whatever reason, there’s a very nice empty...

Nice!

Dang, I was finally getting ready to order a P3D+ this weekend (free supercharging) and it looks like red paint went up overnight to $2,500. I don't think there was any warning about it, but I guess that's how Tesla operates. White paint is still $2,000. My fault for waiting I guess, but...

I haven't ordered my P3D+ yet but am planning to shortly. At one point I thought, like others: "I enjoy driving, especially this car -- why would I want the car to drive for me?" The thing is, though, I have a, um, "friend" who sometimes, despite knowing it's wrong and dangerous, occasionally...
