I've had mine for just over seven months, the only issue I had was the gap between the hood and front bumper was too tight - the service center had to adjust the hood back about a quarter inch. Love the car, and plan on driving it for the rest of my life.

I'm not a fan of the wipers on my Model 3. During our last couple snowfalls, the wipers would get caked with ice after 10 - 15 minutes of driving. The windshield glass goes down several inches below the dash. So the wipers sweep water/snow from the warm glass (where the defroster hits) onto...

I hope that ten years from now I'll be able to replace my long-range Model 3 battery pack with a new pack that has over 400 miles of range. I think that's totally doable for Tesla.

I sometimes do the sign language "3": Thumb, index and middle finger extended. Like a peace sign plus the thumb.

Just received my first set of personalized plates (don't even have them on the car yet!): SILENC3 Now I need a license plate frame that says "Enjoy The" or "Nothing But" on the top.

I always wanted all wheel drive, but I was not planning on getting the 'performance' version. Then Elon tweeted about 'buy the performance model and get free supercharging for as long as you own it', so I went for the performance but not for the extra $5000 upgrade. For me it was mostly the...

I just ordered SILENC3 for my oh so quiet Model 3. My neighbor called my previous car (Prius) "stealthy", this one is even more quiet.

My Xpel installer removed the badge, and replaced it with a new one. So now the original is stuck on my wall here at work.

I don't have badges yet, but will probably leave them off so no one expects my P3D to blow past them. /evil grin/

I still have a 2 gallon gas can for my lawn mower and snowblower. But someday those will be replaced by electric versions, too.

I couldn't stream my favorite radio station on the drive to work, so I had to use the FM radio. I felt like a caveman.

This is the way my Prius drives, and the reason why after 141,000 miles on that car I still have 65% of my front brakes and 70% on the rear. Now that I'm driving my Model 3, I'm getting used to the "one pedal" driving, where it still trips me up sometimes is when the batteries are cold and I'm...

I just ordered some through eBay. Brand name is "Hexomat", I hope they work.

I wish I could set it 'on' for reverse, and 'off' for drive. Most of the time I'm backing up it's out of a parking space, and I feel more comfortable with my foot on the brakes in that situation.

The first thing I noticed is the front camera is not reading speed limit signs. A highway near me recently changed from a 45mph zone to a 55mph zone, and when I drive through it the screen shows the 45mph limit. Even when I drive past a 55mph sign, the screen doesn't update. I presume it's...
