If I want to use my existing hitch rack, can I have a hitch installed on the model 3? Anything I need to know about that?

I have a model three long range. I would like to be able to mount the bike rack to the back so that I could carry a single bike. I see you U-Haul has some kind of tow hitches that would allow this and there’s something called a stealth hitch. I don’t want to tow anything to be able to carry a...

I could ask my accountant this, but he'd probably charge $100 to answer. I bought my Model 3 last year (2022) when there was no tax credit. But this year, the 2022 is listed as eligible: EV Tax Credit: 2022 & 2023 - Which Cars Qualify & How It Works Does that mean my 2022 would only be...

I recall at least one forced disengagement since getting FSD, but I’m not sure if I have more. Is there a way to track them to see if I’m close to losing FSD? Also, do they ever expire?

I haven't yet noticed any pattern with regard to construction or off ramps. This is happening in the center lane. But I'll the changing the mad-max etc settings. Thannks!

So, I've started using Autopilot on the highway for my two hour, twice weekly commute. I try to stay in the center lane. I've noticed though, that sometimes the car (Model 3), moves me to the left lane when there is no one to pass. And, likewise, sometimes moves me back to the center lane when...

The kid has plenty of game controllers, but I take your meaning. Let him have fun. He's worth more than a set of front tires. Will take that under consideration.

Okay, so maybe I'm a little over-protective of my brand new Model 3, but my kid likes to get behind the wheel and play the cars racing games, and I don't let him because it moves the actual wheels of the car back and forth on the driveway or asphalt and I'm concerned about wear and tear on the...

Just picked up my car, finally! Wow, much more fun to drive then I thought. Feels like driving a race car compared to my Subaru. Owned it for three hours, no regret yet😄.

Just picked up my car. Paid 10k for FSD.

Well now I’m due to take delivery in a week, and I’ve come up with an alternative solution to my energy problem by installing a charger in the apartment that we own where I stay overnight when I commute. That cost $1000 and should do the trick. I’ve talked to a few friends who own model threes...

What about resale value? does FSD add anything? In five years if I decide to sell my model 3, FSD may cost two or three times as much, no? Wouldn't it make my car more desireable?

I don't have any plans to flip, just to use. I've been researching alternatives more, and for what I want, AWD, electric or hybrid, safety, with some fun thrown in, the model 3 does look the best, so I'm thinking I'll keep it when it comes. . . .

I didn't buy one, but I ordered one that was supposed to be delivered. I even paid the first payment. They said they assigned me the wrong VIN, one from a car in Puerto Rico. I don't know why that's so hard to believe, but, regardless, they didn't deliver the car and now say it will come between...
