What the hitch is rated for and the car is rated to tow are two separate things. The model 3 is on only rated for 1000kg or 2200#. Again those numbers do not matter, you are limited by your cargo capacity.

After skimming through 8 pages of discussion on how much you can tow with your model 3 and what effect it has on range, it boggles my mind that there is no discussion on what is actually SAFE to tow with your model 3. The fact that some are taking on towing with this car when the manufacturer...

If you charge up to 100% when starting out you will most likely make it to Flag on a single charge. The computer will typically tell you how much charge to add to make it to your next stop. It takes a lot longer to charge from 80-90% and longer from 90-100%. Your stop in Beaver will likely be...

Well I see I am not alone. 🤔🤦‍♂️

Thanks, it was late last night when I got home and posted this. I found another thread afterwards discussing this issue. Seems a bit to bizarre to be something that would be addressed in the owners manual, but you learn something new everyday.

Ok something weird happened tonight. I was driving on the highway and when I engaged cruise control my wipers turned on. I tried to use voice commands to turn them off but the wipers wouldn't disengage. When I pulled up the interface the off icon was unresponsive, wipers were in automatic...

I just passed a year at the end of February. Have about 10k on it. I am coming from a BMW Z3 and currently own a Porsche 911TT (actually purchased after the Tesla). I can say without a doubt, the M3P is by far the most fun I have ever had driving a car. The torque is just mind blowing. I love...

Dirty Mike and the boys

There, fixed it for you ;)

Everyone knows Tesla has garbage paint. You know that going in. First thing I did was PPF/Ceramic coat and mud flaps and I live in AZ. Rocks and sun are my enemy. If I were you, I would wait until spring, Scrub the area down to remove all loose paint. Prep it and find an auto paint shop that...

The P car must stay. Ditch the Bimmer. The M3 will be it's replacement. You need a car to just let loose in and have fun with. I am in the same boat. Have a M3P I purchased in February along with a Tacoma. My BMW Z3 was the occasional driver that wasn't getting the love it deserved. Then I...

Thank you very much

Posting this for a friend. His Model X was in a fender bender and has been sitting at the body shop now for 11 going on 12 months. At first he was told the hold up was a Tesla related piece of service equipment that needed to be replaced, then it became parts related. He has been told he is...

Best is subjective. I purchased this one, but it now says not for M3P which is odd. Did not know there is a difference between the performance and others, just thought it was the pedal covers. Anyhow, I really like the texture of these...

Make sure your insurance company entered the correct VIN. I caught a mistake with my Tacoma a few years after I purchased it by random luck. Who knows what would have happened if I got into an accident.
