    Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

    I have those exact tire size and brand on my MP3 on Uberturbines. They are wider and look great, but the resonance sound at a few different speeds is annoying and I can't wait to replace. With the stock rims it does have a bit of roll over into the edge of the tire on the fronts, so the side of...

    Does Tesla Share Drivers Habits to Data Brokers too? (!!!)

    Hi all, later last year Tesla pushed an update to allow opt-out of data sharing within the UI, but I was wondering those savvy enough in the industry would know how to find this data and if it was being used to estimate quotes for various insurance companies. I have a great driving record, and...

    Failed (2nd) battery 700 miles out of warranty.

    You are correct. Later 21700 cells, and the referb but with new cells was the 3rd gen version so likely a huge improvement. I'll remember this thread when my 23 M3P pack dies out of warranty in 7 years ;)

    Failed (2nd) battery 700 miles out of warranty.

    I feel the pain. Bought used 2014 MS P85D 10 days out of warranty, 10 days later a shorted battery (U018 etc) 14K replacement cost, despite evidence that the car was getting BMS errors before I even bought it, but was not displaying to "Customer Facing" error messages. I believe these warning...
