I’m looking for links and information on Tesla recovering energy from suspension travel via ultra capacitors. I once saw a brief video about this but I don’t know if Tesla actually put it into the suspension. Any info, confirmation or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks

WOW, Thanks for the info... I haven't heard of this and will look into it. Cheers!

Thanks for the heads up, and the links... but definitely not the lane departure warning. Perhaps it's as simple as the wheel weights when balancing was done? Maybe I lost a weight as someone suggested? I will look into this. Again thank you for you help. Cheers and have a happy new year.

I've had my car for a few months now and it has been flawless until recently. I'm getting a vibration through the steering wheel. It doesn't seem to happen under different conditions such as, on acceleration, on re-gen braking or braking in general. It feels like its coming from the passenger...

I spoke with someone at Tesla service and they said that the cars are treated and they do not recommend any other type of treatment. I've seen others post that the car is zinc dipped to minimize corrosion. Here is a picture of the build of types of metals.

My model 3 rear window doesn't match the top roof. I've been watching videos that show both the roof and rear window have the UV coating that shows an orange reflection when wet, however mine just looks like a dark tint. Did they do away with the orange uv film on the rear window?

Thats what I thought.... but was hoping the rims would fit. :( Thanks for the clarification.

Does anyone know if the Model S Arachnid (21') wheels will fit the Model 3?

I'm constantly having the Loading Error message and I'm unable to listen to anything via streaming. I'm only getting the radio. No problems with the glove box.

I've been having the same problems. Is anyone also experiencing that the streaming will play the first 10 seconds of a song and then skip to the next song. I can't stream any music. I'm only able to listen to the radio.

Thanks for the heads up... I thought they would've been weather tech style but I'm going Tesla mats regardless.

I just joined the Tesla family, and loving it every minute. What is your advice on protecting our investment during winter? Where I live they dump tones of salt on the roads, we have a well known brand that protects cars (CROWN) which I have used on other cars.... but I wanted to know what my...

I guess your right. Maybe its just my issue as I never discuss money unless someone seems truly interested. As another member pointed out, it may have more about nosy people and their intentions behind the question. Also, I kind of see it in the same regard as asking how much someone makes...

Exactly, someone's motives are the key factor. Most people I've shown don't ask or already have an idea. Those asking seem to alternate motives than genuine interest.

I fall in line with those who have made the leap into a Model 3 from a lesser expensive car. And I'm quickly finding out that people have no hesitation about asking questions that I was always taught would be rude to ask. So, for those of us who have made the move to a more expensive car...
