Ugh. Thanks guys! I regretted trading my 2020 for the 2023 the morning after, and this is just another reminder of what an idiot I am.

This could be just due to slightly different seat position. I noticed that I’m also very sensitive to seat comfort and usually there is one very specific position in which they don’t bother me. If you’re transferring your settings between cars using your Tesla account, the seats may still be...

I have a set of aftermarket wheels with aftermarket 433 TPMS sensors that I was using on my 2020 M3P in 2020/21 and they worked fine. After that, these wheels sat in my garage unused for 2 years. Last week I installed them on my new 2023 M3P but the car is not detecting the TPMS sensors. After a...

I think even if they roll out vision based parking, Summon will turn into a high risk nightmare.

Confirming this worked, 2023 M3P. In that tucked-behind harness, there are two red wires (both are very thin). One is a pale red (almost pink), the other is bright red. I went with the bright red one. I used the $25 Escort hardwire kit which comes with a wire tap included. Power from that wire...

Thought these might be interesting enough to post here.... heated seats and heated steering wheel in the Model 3:

No, from what I can tell your uploads remain intact. But that's just myobservation, I could be wrong.

Does anyone know how we can contact Tesla for technical support? I tried emailing that CustomerSupport email address but it bounced. When I go to the support website, it appears they disabled the contact forms, with the exception of the home charging category. I have an infotainment...

You can drop iTunes Match since Apple One includes that feature!

Apologies, looks like I had it wrong. I was thinking of this icon (shown on the iPhone). I thought I had seen it on the Tesla screen also but now I can’t.

That’s a feature, not a bug. There is an infinity icon somewhere, which is on by default on Apple Music. You should be able to turn that off and then it will stop playing after it reaches the end of your song/album.

If you had to leave your Tesla in your backyard for a couple of months (plugged in) - would you get a car cover? How do the Amazon custom covers stack up against the OEM Tesla outdoor covers? They both have charger and venting openings, but it's 100 bucks vs 300 bucks; so trying to weigh that in...

Yes. TuneIn is internet streaming. It needs to build up a buffer before it can play.

OMG this looks amazing. Congratulations!

BMW actually just put the X3 30e plug-in hybrid on the market, and I don't blame any of you if you missed the news. I have been a long time BMW fan (only recently migrated to a M3P) and I had no idea this vehicle was available. Before my Tesla, I had a 530e which was my gateway drug into the EV...

50% rubbing alchohol / water mix will work fine.

I have ONE brand new, BUT scuffed 19” wheel for sale. Only asking $50 plus shipping. Ideal would be someone in the New York / Long Island / Connecticut area to meet in person. These wheels look excellent on the Model 3! The story: I took delivery of my Model 3 Performance on 12/27. I had 4 of...

+1 for Dyson. Their V7 cordless model is typically on sale for $249 and you can use your 20% coupon at Bed Bath. You kill two birds with one stone. You'll have an excellent in-home vacuum that can be easily reconfigured as a portable car cleaner.

I’m a long time premium subscriber of the AudioAddict network which is a collection of streaming music radio stations (di.fm, radiotunes, rockradio, etc) The way they solve universal hardware support is they give you a custom URL for each channel that you can paste into any streaming media...

could you tell us more about what the door feels like? I am still not sure if I’m just imagining it but to me it feels like my driver side door needs a more forceful slam than the other side and also sounds a little louder. What exactly would they need to adjust to fix it?

No, that’s nothing to worry about. Mine had 25 miles. My local DC is not the place where they offload them from the truck. An employee drove it over.

I assumed J1772 adapters would be a dime a dozen and thought I’d just grab a couple extras from Amazon. It turns out I cannot find anything online, other than the OEM Tesla units. At $95 they seem way overpriced. There are a few on Ebay for a little less but they’re still pricey. Is this not a...

Same here...good luck everyone! 30-40 hours left of the year (depending on where you are). Also, Tesla sent me a post-delivery survey which I answered. The gist of my feedback was that the product is great, people on the ground were great, but the entire back-end process is a mess. I hope...

Just picked up my Tesla Model 3 (P3D+) and installed my winter wheel and tire set. 19x8.5 MSW Type 71 wheels in grey Vredestein Wintrac Pro 235/40/19 $2100 including TPMS from TireRack. Clears the performance brakes fine.

Delivery complete!! Wow...what a rollercoaster experience to get to this point. Order 10/31, VIN 12/9, Delivery 12/27. P3D+ white/black, Long Island New York. Just drove the car home, so cannot provide any meaningful impressions yet. Going to get PPF tomorrow. I also have a set of winter...

This should be the title of this thread !!

It’s been about a week that I found my VIN in source code, got the scheduling text, confirmed the appointment for 12/27. However, the VIN still isn’t showing up on the website. Anyone else?

All you guys who finally take delivery but don’t bother to post photos... come on!

I looked into freight train tracking sites but I quickly learned that these companies don't publish any sort of real time information. The closest thing I could find was this: Heritage Units Data is updated by railway fans, so it's very sporadic but at least it gives you a sense of routes and...

I’m sitting here thinking that only maybe 20% of my current frustration comes from actual anticipation, and desire for this car. 80% of it is just pure stress caused by the year-end rush, the imposed deadline, and Tesla’s less than stellar track record of meeting deadlines. Don’t get me wrong, I...

Is anyone getting a car from the Manhasset Long Island location? Could you share your order/source/ETA dates? I’ve done enough project and risk management in my career to know when things could go wrong...that’s how I feel at the moment.

I was just informed that the originally projected “transport arrives at delivery center” date of 12/17 was moved to 12/25. With that my delivery date options shrunk, but most importantly I will be out of town. I have flights booked already, and now I will have to pay a *sugar* ton of money to...

For some reason, Tire Rack is picking 245/40/19 tires for me when I choose the wheel+tire package. (Wheels are 8.5) OEM size would be 235/40/19. The difference is about a 0.3" increase in diameter. Does anyone know if this would cause any issues on a P3D+? Also, any reason to pay more for...

Finally a VIN showed up in the source code this morning. P3D+ no FSD white/black ordered on 10/31 Long Island, New York

How the hell do I still not have a VIN with a 10/31 order date and multiple promises I'd be getting it momentarily the entire time. I am getting worried.

That looks like a great setup. Since I'm getting the Performance (red) brakes, I don't want to risk clearance issues with 18" wheels, so I'm stuck in a more expensive territory :-/

I have a 2020 Performance model 3 incoming. (Well, still waiting for a VIN so nobody knows for sure...) I want to buy a set of snow tires ahead of time. Looking at Tirerack, the choices in the OEM size are very limited and expensive. (235/35/20) There is just one Michelin option and it’s $321...

It sounded like they built an internal software that replaces Salesforce.

Same thing here. I was told it’s just a web bug because they are moving from Salesforce to an in-house system. (They seem to have a plausible excuse for everything....show me the product or at least a VIN and I’ll actually believe you.) As a technologist I am also worried that glitches like this...

Oh, thanks for clarification. This was at the Miromar Outlets, just off I-75.

Honestly I’m not sure what I saw. I only had a few seconds next to that car and thought it looked special. (For what it’s worth it also had the dual motor with underline badge)

The wheels looked OEM. Remember these photos of the car carriers - that’s what I saw.

I don’t know how big of a deal it is but AFAIK there haven’t been any/many deliveries of this model yet. Could take any pictures sorry. He was in the right turning lane and I was going straight and the light just went green. I was able to catch a few glimpses - car was gray, and it had the 20”...

Do you already have a VIN? And what is your order date? 10/31 order here and no VIN.

Same here, today. Still no VIN but looks like they are getting people ready...hopefully for deliveries this year.

As I understand the way Tesla is evaluating trade-ins is done centrally. Some team somewhere inputs the VIN, checks the options, and enters a dollar amount into their trade in system. Then the store employee use that number in the final contract during delivery. My question is, does the sales...

My sales advisor emailed me today saying Performance production is set to begin on Dec 1st. (I don't have a VIN yet, 10/31 order) Of course I take everything with a huge grain of salt.

Just stumbled upon this comment from MotorTrend: (MotorTrend Announces Its 2020 Awards Podium Finalists - MotorTrend Group) "The 2020 Model 3’s seats offer more bolstering, and rear passengers now enjoy a more ergonomic position, as the bench has been raised for improved comfort." Has anyone...

...and Ford is unveiling their electric SUV on 11/17. That might also pull some existing orders away.
