    Range at New

    I've been reading through the forum to get an answer for something similar with my M3P. I have a Feb 22 build M3P. I believe it listed 314 miles of range brand new but I immediately put 18" winter tires on it after I took it home. The range estimate never changed despite running on 18" wheels...

    Has Tesla Build quality improved on new Model 3s in 2022?

    I had a 2021 M3P before I sold it and got a 2022 M3P. The build quality of the 2022 seems a little more solid. The 2021 had some minor panel gaps which I had them adjust until it led to a busted rear trunk arm that they fixed. Hulu also did not work on my 2021. When I first drove the 2022, I...

    Selling after 5k NJ rebate

    jonboyTMY DMed me so I thought I would update what happened. Driveway ghosted me so I went with Givemethevin. I didn't have to wait for them to check on the rebate status of the car. They had me take the car to the Mannheim auto center in NJ where I dropped it off. Their check went through no...

    Model Year 2022 Refresh M3/MY

    I had a 2021 and 2022 M3P simultaneously while waiting to sell the 2021. Not very scientific but I did a do a little check with a twig to see what all of the fuss was about. White M3P is the 2021. It does seem like the 2021 is a little lower. Granted I had 4,000 miles on the tires of the 2021...

    Need some help from anyone with a brand new Model 3 Performance and question on diminished value

    It's not available in my state. Plus, I think they monitor your driving style so while I haven't gotten any speeding tickets or moving violations in decades, I probably would fall in their high risk category.

    Need some help from anyone with a brand new Model 3 Performance and question on diminished value

    Not much I can do about it. Most other insurance companies are charging around the same. I haven't had a speeding ticket or moving violation in 25+ years and drove only 4,500 miles last year.

    Need some help from anyone with a brand new Model 3 Performance and question on diminished value

    No response but I think I have up to 6 years to sue them for DV regardless of what the car costs when I do it. DV is calculated at the time of the accident.

    CCS1 Tesla Adapter

    Now I can understand non-Tesla EV drivers' frustrations with EV charging stations. The EA station must be just a month old yet the chargers are constantly down. When it's up, it works well and is about 25% cheaper than Tesla charging though.

    Need some help from anyone with a brand new Model 3 Performance and question on diminished value

    I haven't been on TMC for a while so sorry about the late response here. I got an offer for $5K in DV from the other insurance company. It wasn't acceptable to me so I went to an appraisal firm to write up a report for me. They came out with $15K but comps are hard to come by. He did say it was...

    CCS1 Tesla Adapter

    Funny thing was I had a few Tesla people come up to me to ask me how I was able to charge there and where I got the adapter. Some people actually drove in and tried charging without the adapter. That's why this forum is so great. There's so much helpful information and members here.

    CCS1 Tesla Adapter

    Tried out the Tesla CCS1 adapter just now. I was at 72% SOC and charged up to 90%. The highest rate I got was 42KW. I'll need to see how well it does when I'm at a lower SOC.

    CCS1 Tesla Adapter

    Unexpectedly but happily I found an EA DCFC in my neighborhood. Not sure when they installed it and it's not located in Google Maps yet but it will make things much more convenient for me since I mainly use level 2 chargers. Getting the CCS1 adapter delivered today after ordering it on July 1.

    Streaming Radio (Slacker) logged out

    Having trouble with Slacker on my 2022 M3P. Whenever I start the car up, Slacker will play the last song that was playing when I exited but after that, it will hang and then ask for my Tesla account password. Had a service technician look at it and they were able to reproduce the problem but...

    Price increase? [posted 06.16.2022]

    Actually, you are right. My bad. I was totally off by a year. I had a 2021 but got it in 12/20. I ordered it in 10/20. 2020 was a year to be forgotten.
