I have a Model 3 and the Modern Spare for it. The rolling diameter is 26.5. The lug pattern for the Model Y MS is identical, but the rolling diameter is 27.7". So the wheel will fit but the overall diameter is 1.2" less for the Model 3 version that the Model Y. That means the difference in...

Many of the things you mention reaching for are available via voice commands.

If auto unlock is off, you can also unlock by just tapping the button on the right stalk. So, tap once for PARK, tap a second time to unlock. A little slicker than reaching for screen since your hand is right at the stalk already.

Yes, that was an unfortunate deletion. Just attach your remote to the back of the lower left corner of the display. I used those 3M tape connectors used for electronic toll systems (EZ Pass, etc.) so I can easily remove and reattach it to change batteries. Works perfectly, is out of site, and...

Traffic Aware Cruise Control. Tap down on right stalk to turn it on. Adjust max speed with right scroll button.

Why not just engage TACC? Great for stop and go traffic and will keep your max speed where you want it.

I agree in principle, but in reality there is NO incentive for insurance companies to do this. Quite the opposite. Such lies are in favor of the insurance company so the company would likely look at them as attempts to save insurer money. Why would they punish them?

For long trips off the beaten path I carry a Modern Spare. It is big (full size diamter) but incuding the well in the trunk I can still fit 3 carry on bags plus some smaller items like a small gym bag, tote bags, etc. There are no special Tesla tires. Mine are Michelins. The foam is a tire...

No problem here. When my M3 is home our other car operates the door just fine. Our daughter's car works it too when she visits. It's a liftmaster/chamberlain system.

FYI, there are other model cars with frameless doors that crack the windows automatically when opening a door (Ford Mustang for one).

The car only unlocks on Park if you have it set that way. We've changed our setting so it doesn't. Then if you Park, it stays locked. If you want to unlock to let someone in, just tap Park button a 2nd time.

Same issue here. Auto HB used to stay on. Now I have to manually initiate high beams (no Auto HB icon on screen and they don't come on by themselves) to get the Auto HB feature to work for that particular drive. Not a profile issue as I've checked that all profiles have Auto HB selected...

Ours was in an accident 1 month and 1 day after getting it. Put in body shop in Gaithersburg, MD July 24th. Initial estimate received Aug 8th. All parts received and repairs started Sep 11th. Picked up Oct 7th. So parts are still a problem (~61 days), but not like last year. I think given...

Nice. Where did you get it and does it in fact work? Please report on how effective it is. Thanks
