    Cracked roof, any chance it's covered under warranty?

    Doesnt look like there is any chance it would be covered under warranty to me. There is a huge chip in the glass right along the crack lines, that looks like external damage (thus not warranty).

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    Its possible they dont know that. I would find it more likely that they DO know that, with all that implies.

    Upgrading to a faster Intel Atom Chip?

    For Electronics "bricking" them means rendering them non functional. The original meaning of the term also means "not recoverable" as in you turned the electronic object "into a brick". People use it all the time incorrectly though, especially here on TMC, where someone will try to create a...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Thats going to depend mostly on what rims and tires you have on the performance, and how heavy your foot is when you drive. Specifically, it will depend on whether you stay with the factory size rims, and / or summer tires (which are stickier and thus get less range) or go with aftermarket...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    In this thread, on the previous page from this one: If they raised rates for financing, its likely they raised rates for leasing too. Difference is, when you get a loan there are all sorts of requirements in the US to disclose the financing rate. Leasing has no such disclosure requirement...

    Charging two Teslas

    You keep saying "14-50 outlet" and as I said, you REMOVE the 14-50 outlet and connect two wall connectors to the wires using polaris connectors or equivalent. So, the answer to your "single wire to the 14-50 outlet and connect two wall connectors to that wire, is "No, the 14-50 outlet is...

    No, you would remove the 14-50 outlet and use the wiring and connect the wall connectors.

    Quality issue - Memphis Service Center

    Which is exactly why the answer from Tesla regarding having your body shop fix it was "No". Their cost to fix it would not be $3500 to them internally, and the fact that its more convenient to you doesnt really matter in the scheme of things as far as costs go unless they can absorb the cost...

    400GB music scanning speed too slow

    My first immediate thought is that you dont say what model year (plate) vehicle you have, but any car made after about november of 2021 will not have data ports in the center console as the car comes from the factory (meaning "I would be willing to use the centre console" wont work).

    How to disable new charge reminder?

    I will disagree with your disagree. People make mistakes, especially if they arrive home and are distracted. It would be very easy to forget to plug occasionally, unless you think somehow no one ever forgets, gets distracted, or makes a mistake. Just because it doesnt work for you doesnt mean...

    No dash cam footage recorded when accident occurs!

    I provided that link so you could see what they say they have, and also what they say they dont have. At the tesla link, it says the following: ===================================== About the Data Tesla Provides When we collect data, we believe it’s important for you to know what we’re...

    No dash cam footage recorded when accident occurs!

    The best information this website has on attempting to recover the data is in the link to the thread that @stopcrazypp provided. If your expecting "I will just make Tesla give it to me", tesla doesnt have dashcam or sentry video from our cars.

    No dash cam footage recorded when accident occurs!

    Payment not complete!?

    Yeah if its that far it doesnt make sense to drive back down there. I just know it would be the fastest way to solve the issue. My next suggestion would be to dont sit on it too long. Perhaps wait a week or so, and if Tesla doesnt try to take the money again, reach back out to them.

    Payment not complete!?

    Welcome to TMC. This probably should have been in the model Y ordering subforum (I will ping a mod for this subforum and ask them to move it there). As for your question, the "best" thing to do probably would have been to go back to the delivery center (where you picked up the car) and...

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    Thats your opinion, but it certainly seems to be in the vast minority, at least at this point. I am a vast believer that no product, including a vehicle, is right for everyone, so its not like I am saying "your wrong" (because im not). I am just saying that this particular opinion appears to...

    How to disable new charge reminder?

    My wifes car has a newer version than is mentioned in that article so presumably should have that update (wifes car = 2022 model Y Performance, autopilot only SW version 2024.8.9). I dont think I have yet arrived home at less than 50% of my regular set point as that article states the feature...

    Problem with adapter plug in

    It sounds to me like you have a broken plastic sheath from one of the pins from your Tesla charger stuck in the charge port of your car (based on the little information provided by the OP).

    How to disable new charge reminder?

    I havent seen this notification either, and I have returned to home in my wifes model Y with under 50% at least once a week, since we only charge my wifes car to 50-60% on a regular basis. What vehicle is this for and what is version is "recent update" that has this feature?

    Locked out of my M3P

    I was just going to say this but you beat me to it. @petercc9 , a keyfob has never (ever) been "standard equipment" on ANY model 3 or Y delivery. Since this thread is in the model 3 subforum, and we are discussing model 3s, its not appropriate to say "discontinued", because you cant discontinue...

    Broken Trim in new Tesla, major enough to return the car?

    It sounds to me like you misunderstood what they said, or their policy has changed (one of the two). "1 week - 1000 miles driven" is to report issues you find that need to be repaired (return the car for service) not return the car and get another one. That is, unless their policy has changed...

    Broken Trim in new Tesla, major enough to return the car?

    (moderator note) I changed the thread title as you requested. ================================== (not moderation content, regular post) If your location is actually what you put (USA) there is no "reject the car". Once you take delivery, the car is yours, unless both you and whomever sold...

    Tail Light Retrofit- AMBER turn signal

    Since it seems like I need to remind people of this, especially in this specific thread, there should be nothing at all that looks anything like any sort of buying or selling activity in this thread. Any activity of that sort needs to go in the marketplace subforum.

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    It doesnt really have range either. That (range) is pretty much wholly a product of the rims and tires (and how heavy someones foot is).

    LFP batteries offered for warranty replacements

    Even if it was offered for the Model 3P, which it isnt) it would be under the stipulation that the car would be slower than the current model 3 SR+ since LFP batteries are less energy dense and cant even provide SR+ speed levels in a Tesla.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    While most of this process is a "black box" putting cash vs financing when you first apply doesnt specifically make a difference, HOWEVER..... 1. There is some evidence over the years that not having a completed profile can somewhat delay getting a vin assigned. Putting cash completes that...

    PIRELLI P ZERO ALL SEASON 235/45/R18 - Are these decent tires?

    If Tesla replaces the battery pack (under warranty), will that extend the warranty on the battery?

    The answer to the thread question (at least in the US) is "No it does not extend the battery warranty". No idea what it is in your country.

    Keeps Staying the Highway Passing Lane

    That definitely seems to be a thing, sometimes anyway... even though I am sure there are people designing the product who are not natives to CA. It sometimes seems like they dont do much testing outside of CA, or at a minimum cater to CA due to sales volume here.

    Keeps Staying the Highway Passing Lane

    No, its not illegal to stay in the left lane in CA. Maybe in other states but not here. The left lane is not reserved for passing. However, if you are driving too SLOW in the left lane, you can get a ticket...

    2024 Model 3 Performance Announced - Discussion thread post announcement

    Unless you mean used, they were launched "heavily discounted" since for anyone who can take advantage of the point of sale tax credit, they are cheaper than the LR version. I doubt they get much cheaper than they are now, and in fact would expect them to get more expensive. Its simply NOT...

    How to park well with HW 4.0 (no sensor)?

    The parking sensors being gone has zero to do with Hardware 3 or 4. They have been gone since 2023 in the location you have under your name 'USA".

    How to park well with HW 4.0 (no sensor)?

    I mean, this is going to sound harsh and its not ment to be, but you likely knew the car had no parking sensors when you bought it. If parking sensors is a hard requirement for your needs, thats cool, but then you should purchase a car that meets those needs. I am a firm believer that not...

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    Sure... but not "60-130MPH" at regular intervals. "60-90mph"... Sure. "0-90"? sure. Are you saying that where you are, people are regularly accelerating past 100 MPH on a regular basis?
  40. J

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    All this talk about "60-130" speed (I just quoted you because it was the last one I saw, definitely not the only one). People are saying "I dont care about the track, I dont care about 0-60, I just care about 60-130". "0-60" you can actually legally drive, on the street, multiple times a day...

    NEW OWNER - ISSUE WITH SOFTWARE VERSION

    I dont think thats true on a vehicle that has not talked to the mothership in that long of a time. The vehicle certificates (software certificates) are likely expired and will need to be re installed by Tesla. If it were me, and I had the ability to unwind that deal, I would RUN to do so...

    M3 Perfomance new adaptive suspension

    The full answer to your question is "No the new model 3 performance does not have a suspension that can be raised and lowered". @Technokrat provided more nuance but if you want to be able to "raise and lower" the suspension, no model 3 from the factory does that, including the recently...

    Should I pull the trigger?

    My model 3 has the atom processor, my wifes model Y has the amd. Things like web browsing and such are noticeably slower in my model 3 but not so slow as to be unusable. I notice it more when I swap from car to car and use anything like that (like loading up youtube / youtube TV while...

    Is HW 4.0 camera good enough for dashcam function or better use other dashcam?

    Why would you be switching it? Quite small for what? I reformat mine like 1 or 2 times a year, it has not had to be swapped. I dont put music on it, and its more than large enough for the stated purpose (Dashcam / Sentry). Since dashcam writes over itself after an hour, no matter how much...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    It was, but they have it currently priced so it wont be again until they either raise the price of this car, or lower the price of the Long Range AWD. One of those choices makes them more money, one makes them less. I know which one I would bet on them doing.
  50. J

    Is HW 4.0 camera good enough for dashcam function or better use other dashcam?

    Not necessarily. If you buy an endurance microSD card that is ment for many re writes, it will last a long time. I still have the first one I bought 5 years ago when I got my model 3 (in 2018) and Its still being used for dashcam with no issues.
