    De-badged rear Model 3 Long Range...

    It shouldn’t affect anything. The car is still a dual motor and would be sold as such. Go ahead and pull all your emblems. Make the car your own.

    De-badged rear Model 3 Long Range...

    I pulled the Dual Motor text the same day I got my car. People will think I have a standard range, but it looks cleaner.

    High Mileage Rental 3

    I picked up my LR in June 2019 - currently at 120K+ miles. The only non-normal maintenance issue I’ve had are the upper control arms. I’m keeping it until the next big leap in battery design takes place.

    Just add one of these to your flux capacitor.

    About to lose it with rats in my Model 3

    Keeping rats out of an older structure is a losing proposition. Your only real solution is to trap and kill or relocate the vermin. A cat will do this for you.

    First road trip coming up

    We always go to 100% when our meal or overnight allows it. For overnight at superchargers we charge to 90% before bed, move the car, then first thing in the morning plug the car back in for that last 10% while packing, breakfasting, and getting ready to leave. We never want to hog up a stall...

    First road trip coming up

    Back in September we drove our M3LR to my son’s wedding in Spokane, WA from Raleigh, NC. It was 5,880 miles in three days out, five days back. We had ZERO issues with charging or stops. We planned our overnights at hotels with destination chargers or superchargers in their parking lots. We...

    Software Updates Stopped?

    I have FSD and the 2023.44.30 update has been sitting on my screen for a month now. No forced update here.

    Any tricks or tools for removing the aero wheel center caps?

    Yes, they just pull off. Pull on one or two of the outer edges. They’re tough to pull off, but you want them that way.

    Key fobs, key cards

    My wife doesn’t own a cellphone and uses the passive fob exclusively. She says she never takes it out of her pocketbook.

    Battery life span

    I have a 2019 M3LR that currently has over 188,000km. I expect to be still driving it with double this mileage.

    Why choose Model 3 over Model Y if you can have more trunk space?

    The M3 is Thor in Infinity War, while the MY is Thor in Endgame.

    Israel/Hamas conflict

    The speed and reliability of the owner’s M3P saved his life during the recent attacks in Israel. https://apple.news/AFIn8VnQrQNesp9g3FPfosw

    Model 3 aluminum aero guard replacement bolt

    When my front right bolt bent due to an impact I replaced the torn-up Tesla shield with an aluminum one. The problem was the nut or mounting fixture was gone, and you can’t reach around behind the shield to hold a nut to tighten down the bolt. I ended up using two-part five-minute epoxy to...

    Ha! You’re right, I got that totally backwards!
