Then you lose a lot of features. The only one I really care about is the custom lock sound. The reqt is 56dB at 2m (~6ft). I feel like it's louder than that.

That can surely control the volume though. Plenty of EVs don't get as loud as Teslas do. "Section 3(a)(2) further states that the regulation “shall require manufacturers to provide, within reasonable manufacturing tolerances, the same sound or set of sounds for all vehicles of the same make...

If I muffled or cut off the PWS, I'd lose my fun lock sounds. If rather have this issue remedied than bandaided (literally). I'd like a 1x disable that resets every trip for safety. Plenty of times I want to back out of my garage without waking neighbors, don't mind the reverse sounds any...

Don't plaids have 3 motors?

Ah, and the 7 seater seats go further back. 1" more leg room for 2nd row, so that likely eats into recline, too

You do exactly what I do, same daily miles and everything. I hope in a few years my car is an outlier, but realize that's likely not going to be the case

FWIW, the stalks on both my 21 MY and 23 M3 are spotty sometimes. I don't think it's a switch issue, i think there's something in the software that's busy doing something else some times and doesn't "listen" to the switches. They work a majority of the time, but there have definitely been...

I rarely chime in on stuff like this (i don't even have a plaid). But I've taken a fair share of cars to the track and have run in cold/ heavy rain. I second that DWS 06s are great tires. I plan on switching both my Teslas to them as soon as the factory tires go. I think Continentals also...

This is the best graph I've found over the years that shows the oM3P (o for: original... old... OG, whatever). I think around 75% power starts falling off. Then again, some of that could likely be adjusted in software and who knows what Tesla does, they're so opaque.

Electric planes advantage are noise. They sacrifice performance for low detectabiliy. See "Great Horned Owl aircraft". Or for high altitude, long endurance "pseudolites" like NASAs pathfinder. Conventional planes get lighter as they fly which directly affects range. With electric...

??? That's weird. The recline is on the lower side (the switch below your thigh), not up top like the 5 seat. If yours doesn't, that's a new change as far as I know

You still get a reclining second row (and 1" more of leg room) with 3rd row. You do lose a little bit storage area.

Dang! You dropped 0.5sec off the M3P just with weight reductions?!? How much weight did you lose?

I thought so. To the point that I'd actually consider retro fitting them if it's possible to keep at least seat heater/ airbag functionality.

I just measured my 23 M3P. It's identical. Same with the front tires. Rear tires on the 24 are wider, likely due to more powerful motor. My friend recently got a Highland (long range) and those seats are ridiculously more comfortable. I'll bet the performance ones are even better

Same issue. Started about a month ago. Using center console USB-C ports... they've worked flawlessly for 3yrs. Sounds like it's software related since I'm not alone here

Whenever I use voice commands to "turn on the radio", the car displays "turning on AM radio". That should be "FM", especially since my Tesla doesn't even have AM radio.

If you're going to do all that to your car, you need to keep it to get value out of it. In general, selling a car before you've owned it for 5yrs is a losing proposition (yea, COVID did weird things to the market, but that wasn't normal). Did you get $7500 back? Is that included in your...

I'd wait for the inevitable issues of a new model to be ironed out. Generally speaking it's best to get the last year of a model. Who knows, they may add in that high resolution radar in a year or so... they could also take stuff away, Tesla is odd

Quick silver is the rarest. I see them from time to time to time. They should bring that color back

I'm going to guess 11.1 ~0.5s quicker than before I think they only flaunted the Plaids numbers because it was ridiculous

I'm with you on that... swapping seats is something I might actually do.

I mean it's almost 10%. Dropping more than a couple of tenths is hard when you're already starting at 3.1 (especially when you're lowering the price of the car, too!) The ¼mi will be the number that matters. Not enough for me to upgrade, but if I were looking for a new car, It'd be a real...

If you're looking for a slightly cheaper route, you can buy a bumper cover online and put it on yourself (get OEM!), not sure if those come pre-painted, but if not, a body shop can paint it for you. A lot of money is in labor, if you're willing/ able to do it yourself Teslas service manuals...

I thought FSD would be great on a long trip... Nope, that's not really what it's meant for, it's meant for secondary roads and cities. Regular AP is better on the highway. FSD kept putting me in the second lane from the right which really annoyed other drivers because while the speed limit...

Porsches are track cars, not drag cars. Their allure is how they look and drive, not their acceleration numbers (though those are good too)

I tried it. But the amount of time it took was ridiculous, I'll just walk to the car

I know, i was just replying to a post that said the trial didn't come with it. I may have read it out of context though. I'm in an even worse situation with my USSless M3. I have my updates set to "advanced" so I'm on 2024.8.7 and no FSD trial at all for me

I have summon on free trial (2021 MY)

Lol, I stayed ar 2022.20.9 for awhile, but blinker cameras, and location of nav directions annoyed me. I, too wanted to keep radar, but after riding in a friend's car with fsd (radar was turned off for fsd drivers awhile back), I considered it good enough and not worth missing out on all the...

Is that not a warranty item? I imagine they can't just fix a knob, they have to replace the whole assembly (aka seat). $1000 for s seat replacement sounds about right

I had a 2010 prius. I got it used, but the tech package was $5k. That gave the car LED headlights (remember... 2010), radar cruise, lane keep assist (had camera to see lane lines), auto park assist, and pre-collision stuff like auto- tightening seatbelts if it senseda collision could be...

I love when posters follow up with their issues. I cant tell you the number of times I've searched for an issue (not always car related) and see someone else had that same problem... says they're going to try something, then never reports back.

Thats actually not bad and would solve my biggest annoyance with the car on long trips. I wish Tesla would offer it native to the car (like every other manufacturer under the sun).

What if I just want to dap a dot of paint here.... I dont really need a whole can, I'm just looking for a touch-up pen. I dont have rash, I have a nick from a rock (?). Maybe I'm being too anal, I just want to protect the rim from (possible?) corrosion. I'm looking for a <$10 solution.

My issue with the warranty is that it's only 2yr/24k(not sure on miles, but close). So you're basically betting $2k that you're going to have problems that the warranty would cover in a small 2yr window that will be more than $2k. Make that 5k for 5yrs and you may get my money.

1-2 days isn't day-of though. I'm trying to manage expectations, not relate to a niche situation

I don't think so literally. The fastest way to get a Tesla (other than 3rd party) is to order one in inventory, but even then you may need to wait a week for them to ship it, clean it up, and prep for delivery. Only going off my own experience. I bought an inventory model in 2021 and...

Those standards need to be in Eagles per Cheeseburger before they'd even be considered

I'd polish it first and see how bad it looks. It will likely look at least 50% better after 5min of effort. Any mild abrasive would work, but I'd use car wax/ polish and some "elbow grease" to see what I was left with

My cars are both on the same software (whatever was most current at the time... and today 2024.2.7). It's a vestige of previous installs on the Model Y. It would have been nice to have the old school games on the car I drive most (the Model 3), but it's such a minor thing I wouldn't create a...

A 2yr old Ferrari costs drastically less than a new one. Also, a first year Tesla Roadster will fetch a pretty good penny. It's all about scarcity. There are a million Model Ys out there, they're going to have a very stable value, whether it's low or not. They're a dime a dozen

Cars bottom out. Leasing is the safer option if you're worried about resale. It's a known loss. However, if you plan on keeping cars >5yrs, owning is the way to go. The great thing about the Model Y is there are millions of them so parts will be readily available a decade from now. I...

I'm not a fan of connecting anything to my cars network that isn't OEM. Teslas warranty explicitly says it doesn't cover hacking/cyber attacks. That said, I'm probably overly paranoid as well.

That's what the MY is for... if you want utility get a MY. If you just want bliss, get a M3P

I bought mine in 2023 for 55k and LRs were going for 6k less. So that trend held

Yea... that won't sell. They're waiting for someone to "make an offer". For my 21 I had Tesla do it for $300. When i got my 23, I decided it was worth 10min of my time and a bit of risk to save $200. I got mine for like $160 a few months ago and installed it myself in a few minutes. No...

Never cared about looks. Model Y is the most versatile car I've owned. Model 3 is more fun for sure, but if I could only have one? Model Y easy

Great car to buy 2nd hand. In a couple years Some of those Taycan "Turbos" are selling for 70k less than they were new. (175k -> 105k). I guarantee that Macan will be nicer inside and have a quality feel, but you'll pay a premium for it.

I think it should be an option, it's just not one I'd do. I had a Prius Prime for a bit. One of the first things I did was get rid of the efficient tires for something with more performance. I'll give up some mpg (or mpW in this case) for the ability to stop, turn, and handle adverse...
