    Scratch Repair

    If you are very nitpicky about your car, then right before you drop it off, take as many pictures as you can of the car both inside and out. Wouldn’t hurt to make a video showing the condition you are dropping it off in. Better yet, have someone at the delivery center do a walk around with you...

    Performance Model 3 Snow Tires/Rims

    Hi skrtskrt, Unfortunately, that is the issue. Some experience very little noise, while others (like myself) experience terrible noise. If you read the tirerack reviews carefully, some rave about how quiet they are, while others make a point to talk about how noisy they are. There is a quality...

    Performance Model 3 Snow Tires/Rims

    For all still considering the AS3+, I did a bit more digging as I ended up with a very loud hum/vibration at highway speeds with these tires installed on my 20" rims. Below is the link to user reviews on consumer reports, though I may be the only one experiencing the issue on these forums, I am...

    Performance Model 3 Snow Tires/Rims

    To all that got the AS3+ ok their 20’s, what is the noise level at around 70mph+? With music off and windows rolled up. I have this loud hum that’s very noticeable. Seems like I’m the only one that has this issue. Sounds like when you drive over blacktop that’s about to be repaved and the top...

    Performance Model 3 Snow Tires/Rims

    Just to give an update on my AS3+ experience. I was the one who did not find these tires to be as quiet/comfortable as the 4S tires that came with the 20” wheels. My main issue is the road noise at highway speeds. There is a loud wurr sound accompanied with some slight vibration. This points to...

    Performance Model 3 Snow Tires/Rims

    My personal experience with my local (NJ) service centers is the following: 1. Tesla will not swap out the 4S tires with another tire for you. They don’t currently have any all-season tires available for the 20” wheel. I had Tesla lift my car up and give me the wheels, which I then took to a...

    Performance Model 3 Snow Tires/Rims

    Yeah, I saw your earlier post and wanted to add my experience. Maybe there’s something else going on with my car if I’m the only one with seemingly more noise/vibration. I’m taking it in for service in a couple weeks for the road howl, it’s that bad. Around town, bumps would not cause my windows...

    Performance Model 3 Snow Tires/Rims

    Yeah, that's what it should be! I was just noting that my 4S were higher, yet the AS3+ felt stiffer.

    Performance Model 3 Snow Tires/Rims

    Interesting read, thanks! I was aware of the foam in the tires, which the AS3+ do not have from tire rack, but I did not expect the difference to be as noticeable as it is. My 4S were set to 45PSI, these are at the appropriate 42PSI. I’ll continue driving on them as there’s not many other...

    Performance Model 3 Snow Tires/Rims

    I just put on the AS3+ on my P3D+, swapped out the stock 4S for these. I seem to have a different experience than others who have done the same swap. I find the tires to be much stiffer, this is more noticeable on roads that aren’t smooth. It’s so bad in fact, the car will vibrate and I can...

    Model 3 Performance Battery Degradation One Month (Story)

    Yeah, to 80% every night. First few days I got 248 miles, then 247, and now 246 miles at 80%

    Model 3 Performance Battery Degradation One Month (Story)

    Mine is still at 246 at 80%, drive < 20 miles daily and plug in every night. Almost at 400 miles now, not too concerned for now, never charged to 100%.

    Model 3 Performance Battery Degradation One Month (Story)

    When new, it used to charge to 80% with 248 rated miles. This matches perfectly with what was expected since that is exactly 80% of the full 310 mile range. After a week of ownership, it now charges to 246 miles at 80%. I plug in every night with the UMC to a NEMA 14-50 socket. Car has a bit...

    Delivery of car that looks like it went through sandstorm

    Agreed. It’s one thing to be in delivery hell, but this is unacceptable. It takes maybe 10 minutes to give a car a good look-over both externally and internally. There’s no reason why any customer should have to see a car in this condition. Even if it’s a few dirt marks on the inside, it’s not...
