    Weird Noise from front motor if I shift to drive when rolling backwards, or to reverse while rolling forward

    I love the ability to shift between R and D while parking or "un" parking, and I know the OM says it's ok and is permitted below 5mph. But lately I'm getting a very disturbing noise from somewhere in the left/front area of my 2019 Model 3 Perf when doing this maneuver. The sound is hard to...

    Early 2019 Model 3 Performance - Coolant Top Up Help

    Yes, I searched (maybe not well enough, just yell at me). My coolant level was below the line on the bottle when I bought the car years ago. Foolish me, I didn't bug the service center about it in the few visits I had with them. The level has not changed over years and I've not been able to...

    Help finding source of odd abrupt sound in front left of my 2019 Model 3

    Last week I was exiting my neighborhood and making a gentle right hand turn with gentle acceleration - basically what I do every day. But on that day, I heard an abrupt, odd sound that I think came from the front - left area of the car. Not metal on metal, I really thought I'd had a front left...

    Anyone tried Rock Auto's "Suspensia" brand for compression rod bushings?

    2019 M3P, 70K miles. Never tracked, usually driven very mildly. I don't like the looks of the compression rod bushings. I'm considering trying the "Suspensia" brand from Rock Auto, a whopping $8.37 each. I could find only one mention of that brand on TMC - someone had used that brand on a...

    Texas Members PSA: If your registration expires in Sept, Oct, or (maybe) Nov, .....

    The new Texas electric vehicle tax of $200 goes into effect on 1 September. If your registration expires in Sept, Oct, and maybe Nov, then get your new sticker ASAP and you won't have to pay the extra $200 for this year. My sticker was set to expire in Sept '23. I got my new sticker last...

    Will the Model Y allow me to back a trailer with the rear hatch open?

    (I do not currently own a Y but I am considering it ...) When backing a small trailer into a tight spot I like all the rear visibility I can get. Will the Model Y allow me to drive in reverse (with a trailer attached) with the hatch open? Thank you, Keith

    2020 Model 3 18" Wheels/Tires/TPMS/Aero Covers

    Full set of Model 3 wheels/tires/TPMS/aero covers taken from a 2020 AWD LR. Perfectly round, no plugs or patches, and perfectly balanced. Some curb rash and some wear points from always using the aero covers. About 4/32” tread depth. Note, these are NOT bluetooth TPMS. I actually used these...

    Drove the "tail of the Dragon"

    Drove the Tail of the Dragon last week. Lots of fun but moderated by wet road after a light rain.

    Odd and (I suspect) common tire wear

    I've noticed that my front tires have tended to wear excessively on the inside edge. An alignment check indicated that the toe was slightly beyond spec out (negative?) and it was corrected. Even after being corrected (per their printout) there's still more wear than I was used to on my other...

    Bluetooth audio connection issues and possible workaround

    Recent owner here, got my 2019 M3P on 7 September 2020. From day one, the BT audio would almost always automatically connect but sometime around the middle of November I started having issues. I've gotten used to tapping the BT symbol and going through the steps to get the phone audio to...

    Will ABRP recommend best speed to reduce total time on long road trip?

    Sorry if this has been discussed already. I'm not quite sure what the search term should be .... Driving from Fort Worth to north Georgia via i20 through Atlanta. Plenty of SCs so it's an easy trip, but playing with ABRP and different speeds yields different total trip times. Obviously...

    Some Sunday afternoon fun on the new toy

    Built myself some cheap, DIY "jack stands" from scrap wood recently and spent some time today playing with them. Even though there's nothing wrong with the car as far as I can tell, too many years buying old BMWs makes me preemptively look for possible issues and try to fix them. Got the...

    Nice Experience during delivery in Nashville, TN

    I've been lurking for a while, driving a 2013 Chevy Volt for the last three years. Now, finally a Model 3 PUP owner. Picked it up at the delivery center in Nashville, TN, on Monday, 7 September, a used 2019 Midnight Silver/Black interior, near perfect condition. My delivery person was Jason...

    Question about Bank Draft

    I placed an order early today for a used 2019 Model 3 on Tesla's website. Working through the ordering process I see that my bank info is being requested. I'm wondering when Tesla will actually grab that money from my account. Do they take it right now or when I take delivery? I've tried...

    Is this a smokin' deal on a 3?

    Autotrader - page unavailable Does this have EAP or FSD? I don't know how to look a the menus and determine that.
