    Alignment shops in South Carolina (Spartanburg/Greenville)

    Just got back from Charlotte Service Center about control arm concern. They were kind enough to go with me on a test drive and felt nothing wrong with suspension or alignment. I earlier today took my 2020 M3LR to an indepandt shop and they quoted me $3,000 to replace control arms and ball...

    Long-Range M3 or Long-Range MY for local driving, no commute

    I have a 2020 M3LR and if I had it to do over again I would have purchased the Model Y because it is highern off the ground and more roomy. We are i. our 70s and the extran height makes it easier to get in and out of. Bought car during covid so test drive was solo and the Model Y was in chill...

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

    My 2020 M3 LR roof developed a crack a few months ago and Tesla service replaced it under warranty after inspection to determine it was not caused by external object. I think the process is fair.

    FSD 12.3 loss of auto park

    Down loaded FSD 12.3 version 2023.44.30.25, on my 2020 Model 3 LR and have lost the auto park feature. I use this feature daily and sorely miss it. Will this return in April or do I need to somehow contact Tesla?

    Self inflicted damage [what is this going to cost to fix?]

    This damage is a little over $16,000 because rocker panel and beleive it our not windshield needs replacement. If the car panels were made of steel a simple dent wizard could have made the fix. If you do not use authorized Tesla body shop your warranty is void and you can no longer use Tesla...

    Tesla rigged the dashboard readouts in its electric cars to provide “rosy” [range] projections

    On my 2020 M3 LR I simply use .8 of Tesla range for actual range. ie 300 x .8 = 240. For me this is OK since 3 hours of driving on Interstate is enough because I need a break. Made several long distance drives and after a few trips rang eanxcity has disappeared. City driving never an issue.

    First Road Trip Thoughts!

    Well written. I have made several trips on my 2020 M3LR and had similar expereinces. At the beginning I had range anxiety but learned to trust the computer with better results and faster end to end times. Love my Tesla, hope V11 is out in a few weeks.

    Anyone else lose auto park after latest FSD update?

    Auto Park quit working about two months ago . Very disapointing since I relied on this feature to park straight. Biggest reason I bought Tesla was FSD and auto park. Bring back sonar and radar!

    "GM Says Its Dealers Have Serviced Over 11,000 Tesla EVs Since 2021"

    Yes, GM does collision body work repair. Unfortantly Tesla does not here in the Carolinas. The media hates Tesla because it does not advertise.

    Is it worth it to get PPF and/or ceramic coating? What is a fair price?

    Ask a good body shop what a total paint job will cost? This car is not a collectors item, since many thousands are now on the road.

    35 days without Charging

    In my garage and I have a Tesla charger. However next year I may be at a retirement facility without my own charger. Assume a giant difference in what actions I will need to take.
