Howdy! Two things: There’s a hight-pitch noise coming from the screen area you can only hear when sitting idle. I saw a couple of videos about this same exact issue I’m having and Tesla said it was normal. Anyone else with a 24 M3 have this issue? Upgrading RWD audio: I’m looking at the...

Just doing a community check here. I heard the 2024 model 3 isn’t going to be getting it as soon as the previous gen.

Holy crap on a cracker - I sincerely hope you are paid very well for those 18-ish hours per week you send sitting and driving. Like REALLY well. That's like suicide levels of commute for me.

Coming up on two weeks in my RWD Model 3 and during the drive home I noticed zero vibrations. But lately at highway speeds I notice a lot of vibration. It was so bad at one point the seats were vibrating like crazy and my arms were getting fatigued from all the vibrations. It's gotten better but...

Hey Guys - I'm curious what you think of the these 'efficient' wheel covers. I know Yeslak makes similar wheel covers marked as 'most efficient ever guyz' for the 19 inch wheel on Model Y. The new RWD M3 is shockingly efficient for use case and efficiency or no, I like the look of those wheel...

I just bought a ‘24 M3RWD and can confirm the sound system is under whelming compared to old LR system. The rear speakers on the RWD ‘24 are bad IMO. The system feels and sounds incomplete in the RWD model. I haven’t decided if I’m keeping the car for long term, and if I do that rear speaker...

If you don’t give a *sugar* about the perks I mentioned you will enjoy driving the new M3 better than the current MYLR for certain. For me, with incentives on the MYLR both cars were the same out the door price and financing deal. Most of my time with the M3 will be in fair-ish weather at 55+ MPH...

@ag21 I just made this jump yesterday and I may jump back if I can get the same deal. Here’s what happened: I ordered a new inventory model y with 11 miles on it (gray ‘24 white seats) and was 100% sold on it for a lot of reasons. Tax credit, referral credit, good down payment, free super...

What's your next best alternative to a Tesla and the insurance for it? I know a lot of insurance companies charge more "because Tesla" and some don't. My insurance was only about $30 per month for my 2018 Model 3 over my 2012 prius for the same coverage. Local insurance providers are usually...

Yeah, plus it first appeared there would be a front bumper camera to enhance visibility but that's not happening. We don't even need more than a couple of well-placed sensors to determine objects in front of and behind the car. I think this is a situation where Elon is trying to force the nail...

That’s sucks about the driver safety stuff. I really believe Elon made a bad call here but so far he’s doubling down on vision. Logically what he’s doing with vision doesn’t make sense. He wants to cars to be able to see the road like humans do and react to circumstances like a hyper attentive...

Yeah, I think the stuff about the tax credit is pushed to make sales. Which is shitty IMO, even if plausible. Tesla has a history of exaggeration or plausible deniability. I understand it, IMO it’s better to just be upfront with folks and help them decide. Elon hates pressured sales but this is...

Just test drove a model Y to make sure I’m cool with it for long term car vs M3. Drove an S while I was there for the giggle shits (BTW, loved the ventilated seats and how it hugged the driveline - can't afford new model S though). He mentioned the sales managers are being told to tell...

How did you get it that low? My area is still around 46 ish.

Yeah, I can see the charge for those two inspections to easily be $1k, which is cheaper than buying a clear title Tesla but still not something to take lightly. At this point in my life I think I'd prefer to get a decent deal on a used clean title, there's plenty of that around it seems if one...
