    Model 3 Replacement Wiper Blades

    Went ahead and bought the Bosch Winter blades and had a VERY challenging time getting them back on...... But made a discovery I may have to make a video about later. Sliding them back on is not exactly how it's done. Also, it seems that all of the manufacturers of wiper blades are really lazy...

    Model 3 Replacement Wiper Blades

    Has anyone tried the Bosch Winter Blades on their 3...? In Minnesota here and couldn't install the Michelin Winter Performance blades I bought because the closest adapter piece was too wide to fit back into the wiper arm assembly.... :-( Debating whether to get the Bosch Winter or Michelin...

    Registration fee question (Texas to California)

    It's funny how Californians have been desensitized to being taxed and bled of money from every angle based on excuses from career politicians.... We already pay car registration, road/bridge tolls, a portion of sales tax in many counties is supposedly for roads and transportation, bond measures...

    Sentry Cam Videos all 10:49

    I've been unable to watch more than the first 10 seconds of any sentry clip while in the vehicle. To add to the issues, I used my USB-C adapter to try and view the clips using my Android phone and it not only wouldn't let me access the clips, it locked up my phone for 5 minutes until I held the...

    Front License Plate Wrap?

    Installed mine in February after SFO airport police seeking revenue ticketed me while it was parked for not having a front plate.... o_O I spent a lot of time getting it placed just right - including using painter's tape to attach it and go for a quick 3-4 mile drive while using Autopilot to...

    What is the most reliable android phone with Tesla Model 3?

    Update: Bought the OnePlus 7T (which runs Android 10.0) and haven't had ANY issues in the last week with opening doors, accessing the Tesla app, etc. It even seems to run faster and has better overall connectivity than the Huawei did! Thanks to everyone who has replied and shared info - this can...

    What is the most reliable android phone with Tesla Model 3?

    Huawei Mate 10 Pro here and it has a lot of issues. Have had phone since before getting the car, so I've had 17 months of experience with the two. Set app to stay running, but it doesn't. More than half the time, I'm forced to unlock phone and open Tesla app to get into car. Once in the car, it...

    Paint dripping onto ground under front bumper?!!

    I've refilled my washer fluid quite a few times since I bought it, but I HAVE recently added a RainX Washer Additive, which is pink/orange in color. It just seemed strange that the fluid/paint/colored substance seemed to be above the bottom of the bumper area, with no signs of having leaked from...

    Would it be that deep blue in color....?

    Paint dripping onto ground under front bumper?!!

    OK, this is a new one..... After going on a walk this morning, I return to nice a blue-tinted puddle underneath the front left side of the bumper, just forward of the left front wheel well.... See pictures for detail. I ran my finger gently over the area and get a nice, sparkly paint on my...

    Can We Inundate this Garbage Article Ripping on AP with facts??

    Just saw this in my feed and it should make us all want to stand up and correct the paranoia of the average (idiot) drivers out there, the majority of whom are much less safe than Tesla's earliest iteration of Auto Pilot. Especially in California! Here's the article: Something Needs To Be Done...

    Poll: What is a Tesla Model 3?

    ...a future-ready land rocket!

    Registration fee question (Texas to California)

    I'd thought that as well, but isn't there a new $100 surcharge specific to EVs to offset the state's 'loss' of tax revenue from gasoline...?

    Annual license plate renewal fees - how much in your state?

    Coming up on one year since purchase, my renewal fee for NON-CUSTOM plates in the San Francisco bay area (east bay suburbs) is $607(!!!) for one single year...

    Annual license plate renewal fees - how much in your state?

    Wondering what the total cost is for those of us with Model 3s in different states. Thought it'd be an interesting comparison! List your state and total charge for renewing your vehicle license. (If you use acronyms/abbreviations, please explain them for those of us from other states!) Let's...
