    Model 3 Wireless Charger Recommendations - 2017 LR

    Can't compare the two, but I've been using the Gen 1 on my 2019 LR, and it's worked perfectly for years.

    Hankook iON EVO All season tires with controlled efficiency testing

    I got these abot a month ago to replace the stock tires on my 2019 LR, and I absolutely love them. Quiet, great handling, and better efficency. What else can you ask for?

    Michelin Pilot Sport 4s vs Hankook Ion EvoAS

    My stock Michelin's were AS, and they were terrible in the rain from day 1. I wasn't directly responding to the orignal thread.

    Michelin Pilot Sport 4s vs Hankook Ion EvoAS

    OK. I don't find the EVOs much quieter than the MXM4s, but I haven't pulled out a decibel meter or anything.

    Michelin Pilot Sport 4s vs Hankook Ion EvoAS

    Yeah, the MXM4s. I've never had an issue with their noise. What tires do you consider quiet?

    Michelin Pilot Sport 4s vs Hankook Ion EvoAS

    Got the Hankook Ion EVO AS tires on my 2019 LR RWD Model 3 and I'm loving them. As quiet as the stock Michelen's, and less energy consumption. Haven't used them in bad weather yet, but the Michelen's were so bad in the rain that I'm sure these will be an improvement. $180 rebate for buying a...

    Hankook new iON tire, an "EV" tire (not the same as Kinergy GT)

    Thanks...just bought a new set and wasn't aware of the rebate. Just applied for it.

    Bethesda, MD Tire place?

    Thanks all...ended up getting the tires at Quality Discount after Executive couldn't get the tires I wanted. Good, quick service...very happy with everything.

    Free FSD for 1 Month

    I got the free trial, tried it this morning. It couldn't handle a blinking red light at the first intersection I got to. Repeatedly started and stopped, jerking back and forth. That's enough for me. Loved the UI though.

    2018 M3 RWD LR with 45k miles ($23k) vs 2022 M3 SR w/ 52k miles ($25k)?

    Yes!!! I mean, you can extrapolate from seeing the estimated miles at 42%, but I'd want to see exactly what it says at 100% or at least 90%.

    2018 M3 RWD LR with 45k miles ($23k) vs 2022 M3 SR w/ 52k miles ($25k)?

    I assume one of the reasons you might want the older LR is becasue of the range. So have you actually checked what the range currently is at full charge?

    Bethesda, MD Tire place?

    Although strangely, they've never even heard of the Hankook iON EVOs that I want. Friendly folks though.

    Maryland excise tax credit.

    I wene through this back in 2019...applied for the credit, got told they were out of funding, waited about two years until they got re-funded, and finally got the check.

    Bethesda, MD Tire place?

    Anyone have a tire place they like in Bethesda or elsewhere in Montgomery County? Time for a new set.

    Drove the Highland Yesterday.

    I did the test drive, but only had 15 minutes, so I didn’t get on the highway, and couldn’t really tell that much about the noise and suspension improvements. Two things that stuck out. The interior running light thing reflects against the windshield and is seriously annoying. Total waste of...

    Drove the Highland Yesterday.

    I'm sure it'll be the same as when you got a Tesla in the first place...it'll take a few hours to get used to it, and then it'll feel like second nature again.

    Any way to swich to neutral when bricked?

    So I got into an accident a few weeks ago on the highway...got rear ended while slowing down to avoid debris in the road. Car was undrivable, with a million electrical system warnings. After rebooting the car a few times, it finally allowed me to put it in tow mode, and police helped me push it...

    Apple Music: Playing Albub in Order?

    I'll check that, thanks.

    Apple Music: Playing Albub in Order?

    Weird. If I select an album, it just starts playing a random song from it. Doesn't show a list of songs at all. I'll keep experimenting.

    Apple Music: Playing Albub in Order?

    I love having Apple Music in the car, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to play an album in order from start to finish. Any time I click on an album, it randomizes. Anyone figured this out? thanks

    2019 Long range or new 2023 standard range?

    That's exactly what I was coming to say. My 2019 LR RW started at 325, and is now down to about 285. So make sure you check to see what the actual range of the used car is, not what it's supposed to be.

    2019 Model 3 AWD Long Range - worth, range?

    Very little supercharging, and I charge it to 80 most of the time.
  24. AKinDC

    2019 Model 3 AWD Long Range - worth, range?

    Mine dropped by almost exactly that in three years, from 325 to about 275. I know that's towards the edges of the bell curve, but just keep in mind that Tesla considers this normal.

    The M3 as a space heater [climate control running while parked]

    Right. There should be no heat or battery management running all the time. When you use the app to set the climate, the battery begins to condition as well, but the car should not be doing this on its own. If you check the app and the climate control is off, and it's still doing this, it's time...

    The M3 as a space heater [climate control running while parked]

    Well, this is certainly one of the more original posts I've seen on here! The simple answer is no...if the car is actually radiating enough heat to warm the garage, there's something very, very wrong going on.

    Good to know it's not just me. Thanks for the replies, folks.

    Navigation going bonkers

    I've always loved the navigation on my Tesla, but it suddenly started behaving oddly. Traveling on the highway with no traffic, the navigation kept advising me to get off at an exit, drive parallel to a highway for as short a distance as possible, and get back on the highway. It's done this...

    Safety Restraint System Fault (RCM2_a529)

    Weird. I’m in your area, and mobile came out and fixed it for me for free under warranty.

    Has Tesla Build quality improved on new Model 3s in 2022?

    I've got a Model 3 and a Prius Prime. I've been lucky with the 3...no real issues in almost three years, and I absolutely love driving it. The Prime is a pretty great car for what it is. I get 32 miles of electric before it goes back to gas, and it performs far better with the electric engine...

    Can't Adjust Navigation Volume

    Update...I tried all the things you all suggested, and nothing worked. Then a few days ago, it just started randomly working again. No new update installed, no more hard or soft resets, just randomly started working again one morning.

    Driving through water tore off my rear bumper, AC system now hot until I start driving

    The advice is, if you already had it looked at, wait for them to fix it. Don't risk messing around and screwing something else up. And I certainly believe that all happened from three inches of water....assuming those three inches of water were in a massive pothole. ;)

    Safety Restraint System Fault (RCM2_a529)

    I just had the same thing. Mobile service came out and fixed it in 20 minutes…needed to replace a wire junction box under the front passenger seat.

    Can't Adjust Navigation Volume

    The title pretty much covers the bases...I have no control over the volume of the navigation. I can visually adjust them, either from the control panel or the steering wheel inputs, but it doesn't actually affect the volume at all. Any ideas? I've tried hard and soft resets.

    Supercharger - Stafford, VA

    That’s becoming a problem everywhere. They’re selling cars faster than they can build/expand charging stations.

    Carry an extra tire for roadtrip?

    Have all the same here. I've never used them, but I feel better knowing they're there.

    2022 Prius Prime or another Model 3?

    I have one of each as well. As much as I love my Model 3, I also love the much greater range of the Prius when I have a long trip to make.

    Fast Charging!

    Around 7 or 8, but I only needed to add about 100 miles, so that's pretty much all I needed.

    Supercharger - Stafford, VA

    Got this yesterday at the Stafford supercharger. Plenty of time to precondition, and was down to about 10% charge. Best I've ever done by far.

    Fast Charging!

    My previous record was a little over 600. This was glorious.

    Will a Tesla work for me?

    Don't buy one without a 220V. I started out trickle charging, and found that it gave me severe range anxiety...I'd be asking myself if I really wanted to drive 30 miles knowing that I'd have to charge for 6 hours to make up for it. Drove me crazy. I'm sure others have dealt with it with no...

    2018 Climate Control Efficiency

    I've always loved auto on my 2019, until the V.11 update...now it's all over the place. Sometimes too hot, sometimes too cold, sometimes blowing chilly air when it should be warm. Really frustrating. I had it set to 68 since I bought the car, and never moved it until the recent update.
  43. AKinDC

    Should I test drive before delivery?

    I'd go with a "yes, but..." answer. I loved what I heard about Tesla when the M3 came out, but I decided to test drive first. There were a lot of things I loved, but the regenerative breaking and having everything on the tablet screen threw me a bit, and I decided not to buy. A friend later...

    V.11 Specific Range Loss?

    I know, I know...enjoy the car, set the range to a percentage, don't fixate on it, etc. etc. I've rolled with the punches as my range has slipped in the 2.5 years since I bought my LR RWD, from 325/293 to a pretty consistent 295/270 or so. Not bad...I've heard far worse. But immediately...

    How Long Would Battery Last? [hypothetical - sitting in gridlock]

    I was reading about horrible Highway gridlock in Virginia during a big snow storm…drivers were stuck for hours and hours not moving, people were running out of gas and abandoning cars. Let’s say you got into the gridlock with 250 miles of range…how long do you think the car would last without...

    V.11 Sentry Mode?

    In what way? It’s still on the top of the main screen, plus in V.11 I get a more specific “open/close garage” prompt in the lower left.
  47. AKinDC

    V.11 Sentry Mode?

    I know…I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to get that back to the main screen.
  48. AKinDC

    V.11 Sentry Mode?

    There’s a lot I like about the new V.11 interface, but I can’t find a way to turn on Sentry mode from the main screen like you used to be able to do. Doesn’t appear in the customizable icon list. Any ideas?

    "4 - Got stuck in traffic leaving my daughter's graduation - basically at a stand still for 30 minutes. Played backgammon, and I'm pretty sure the car cheats to get perfect rolls at need." I've said it before and I'll say it again...far and away the best use of the autopilot is in heavy...
