Good to know, thanks!

It may not be relevant to anybody else, but it is relevant to me. This is my total cost of electricity during the ownership of the vehicle.

Thanks for the info. Looks like a ~$300 parts cost, plus the labor to dismount tires, and re-mount and balance.

I'm turning in my M3P lease in a week or two (well, that's the plan at least), so I tallied up my charging costs since vehicle deliver in December 2019. Background is that I have a free L2 charger at my office, so that covers the bulk of my weekday needs. I don't have a charger at home, so I...

Oh well goddamn it! What's up with that?

Martian MW03 18 x 7.5" +20 / Gunmetal. I bought my first set of Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 225/50R18XL 99R BSW tires on 12/30/2019 from a website called tires-easy.com. I replaced them in November 2021 with Nokian tires sourced by my local tire change shop.

This is the setup I've been running for the past 3 winters, has been great. New M3P on order, will definitely be keeping the winter wheels/tires to use on the new car!

I had this issue recently, SC scheduled me about 6 weeks out (because they didn't have the parts in stock). My issue was only with front-right, but they replaced both front control arms. Fully covered by warranty at ~45K miles and ~30 months since vehicle delivery.

The door latch release mechanism seems to work fine, and the electrical components seem to work fine. The door latch just doesn't catch. If I pull the door to a fully closed position, the car thinks the door is closed and the window goes up all the way. Since my original post on this, the...

Driver door won't latch since last night. This happened once before, but it corrected itself quickly. Car had been sitting in garage for the past few days. Other perhaps unrelated symptom is that the front left steering mechanism is making very squeaky noises for the past week. I made a...

2020 M3P with 17K miles. This is another cold weather data point. I left my office this afternoon with 84% SoC, have driven 40.3 miles, and am currently at 54% SoC. Never was more than 1/4 throttle, air temp is around 28F, mixed highway and suburbs, max speed on highway was around 80. I...

I mostly rely on regenerative braking, rarely touch the brake pedal.

Service is scheduled for next Thursday.

2020 Model 3 Performance, 14,800 miles, Noticed this troubling etching on my front right rotor. The brakes have felt fine while driving. imgur.com I'm going to schedule an appointment with the local service center, but any idea what is happening here?

When charging to 100%, I regularly get down to around 50% before finding my way to a charger again. For performance reasons, I'd rather operate in the range of 50% to 100% than in the range of 40% to 90%. Also I try to limit my day-to-day charging to the free (to me) station at my office...
