    The F-150 Lightning Is not what I expected - Anyone else feel the same?

    Just charge your vehicle when you need to charge it. Don't over think it, I had my model 3P for 3 years (traded for lightning) and still have the Model Y. It's not like everyone at the superchargers were saints before it was opened up. I've seen line cutters, people who walked off into the movie...

    The F-150 Lightning Is not what I expected - Anyone else feel the same?

    @johnr Are you not using the 360 degree top down view in conjunction with the rear camera? That top down view is the best thing I have ever seen when it comes to vehicle cameras. I use it all the time.

    The F-150 Lightning Is not what I expected - Anyone else feel the same?

    I also made the switch on Jan 20th. 2021 model 3 performance to 2023 Lightning Lariat. This is my take after 3 weeks. I prefer my Wife's Y to my 3 and part of the reason I made the switch is I'm getting older and the 3P was to low. It was like sitting on the floor and with no grab handles (Tesla...

    Garage door opener alternatives

    I took the small Chamberlin garage remote and double side velcro sticked it to the bottom of the Tesla Screen. It's hidden and works great for a quick no look press to open and close the door.

    It was startling

    If range is not an issue, then you will be completely happy with the M3P. Just remember to look all around before you punch it at a light and leave all the ICE performance cars in the dust lol.

    Headlights not auto-on in the fog??

    I have been turning mines on manually for the last couple of weeks for this reason. Are the light controls not influenced by what the camera sees?

    It was startling

    Go for the Model S if you can swing it either LR or Plaid for the extra range and creature comforts. I have a M3P and love it, however there is more to life than 0-60 and after a while it will become normal to you. I picked mines up in Feb, I still do a 0-60 pull every now and then, but not as...

    Help me decide: Model Y or Mach-E

    Tesla in CA = You see them all day everyday. Mach E in CA = I have seen 3 and I remember each one because it's still like a unicorn.

    M3P - Who switched from a (true) sports car?

    Don't forget Boat Mode, no True Sports car could have survived the flood I found myself in last weekend. M3P went into boat mode to my surprise and I drove out of it. All while seeing all these stopped cars in the roadway including an Audi S4 or A4 couldn't tell water was high with owner sitting...

    Wipers don't work properly in Auto

    Wipers are vastly improved since we bought in Jan. In the crazy Cali storm today Auto was perfect.

    Questions about Ordering

    You should reserve now, the price just went up again. I believe you have until the car is ready, I would look at locking things in 30-60 days before your delivery date.

    Price Increase on model 3 [Oct 2021]

    Depends on how long you have been sitting. M3P is up 3k since I bought mines earlier this year.

    So, uh, stay away from dump trucks

    Don't feel bad, about two months ago a Cement Truck started dropping cement all over our main road.....it took hours to hose it all of it off :mad:

    Driving without a key card or phone

    Simple solution since you are using the card.......remove the phone as a key :)

    What do you think of the uberturbine wheels on the M3P?

    There is a lip that sticks out past the rim. You need to see it in person.
