2018 LR RWD Model 3.

This car has consistently made a clicking sound from the right rear passenger area. I was able to narrow this down to the upper C pillar or the rail above it.

Tesla service tried to fix this twice, but were unsuccessful.

I was able to resolve this over a period of a few days...

I drove the Model 3 Highland base model today in Burbank CA, and I used to own and drive 2018 Model 3 LR RWD for 4 years.

OVERALL DRIVING IMPRESSION:
The car drives AWESOME. Equally as good as Legacy Model 3. It's so fun. Handling and responsiveness are VERY good. A bit slow 0 to 20mph, but fa...

I recently completed electric vehicle visits to all the sites primarily related to the Labor movement. The full story is on my ad-free blog, with links to a photo and description of each park visit: [URL='https://zct.life/2024/01...

Very new to Tesla ownership (but loads experience with Teslas - many family members have them), just purchased a 2020 M3 LR a couple weeks ago for my daily driver mainly because I wanted a car to occupy my outside parking spot as an added monitoring system and (hopefully) crime deterrent with sentry...

I recently discovered this interesting two-part moderated discussion/debate (originally broadcast October 2023). The show is called "Energy Switch" (produced in Austin, Texas) and is seen on the PBS (public TV) network.

Here are my impressions of the Model X Dual Motor (likely 2023 model) based on my 40-minute Jan2024 test drive, suspension set to comfort mode and standard height.
This new X was a Dual-motor with Ultra Red paint, 22-inch wheels, tan interior, 5-seater.
My daily driver is 2016 Model X P90D Ludicrou...

I was invited to an owner's demo of the Highland at the Jacksonville Service Center, so I jumped at the chance. It was cool to see about 30 other enthusiasts excited to give the car a spin. Wanted to share some thoughts:

Cabin Noise: I arrived in my 2023 M3 RWD, so the noise level was fresh in my ...

I was surprised there were not many posts to replace the Tesla Roadster 12 volt battery, so I thought I would share my learnings to help others since it must be done every 2 to 3 years.

The local Tesla service center in Austin could not provide me a price, so I decided to do it myself this time.

We own and love a "tent built" 2019 SR+. Every version of a 2019 Model 3 was cross-shopped with every available wheel and tire option. Settled on the SR+ on 19 inch wheels for the additional steering feel and responsiveness compared to the other models. Specifically, the weight of the front drive un...

Just like a boat.…..the day I bought my Plaid, and the day…..well you know how it goes.

I sold my Plaid to Carvana. Wrote them a check for $27,000 because I paid $128k for it new just over two years ago, and now it’s only worth $53,000. Tesla depreciation.

I LOVED the Plaid, when it wasn’t in the ...

Although the Model 3 requires minimal maintenance, I've found one thing that largely seems to have been overlooked.
The intakes below the front bumper when open , allow unfiltered air to pass over the fins of the aircon radiators. But unlike on my previous cars, where they were vertically mounted an...

I grabbed a well-used Gen 2 Wall Connector with a known bad terminal block pretty cheap hoping that I could repair it. Turns out it's not that hard.
Although I have a model 3, I figured this was the best place to post this as this 80A Wall Connector is likely only used by older Model S/X owners.

All,

My 2023 Model S Plaid is in the shop for a track package install, and the loaner vehicle Tesla provided me is a 2023 Model S with a steering wheel. I have seen countless threads on steering with a yoke versus steering with a standard round(ish) steering wheel, and I am finally able to make an...

Last night I run for the first time the build in Battery Health test from service mode on my +3 years old Tesla M3 Long Range (E5D battery) and +75.000 Km. I got home at around 21:20 with 5% SOC so I said this is a good moment to kick the test. I recorded data with Scan My Tesla during the test and ...

Ok so as im preparing to get delivery of my M3H i was getting a bit antsy about how bright the LEDs are on the front of the Wall Connector.
As my WC is near my driveway facing towards the house i didn't like how it lit up the front of the house and created a glow thru the windows. It looked like the...
