2015 Golf TDI. It was part of Diesel gate, they bought it back and I got a Model 3

Obviously driving in standing water is not a best practice, but sometimes, during an extremely rain storm you're stuck on a road and knowing how deep you can cross without permanently damaging or frying the car is useful information.

I did almost the same drive twice this month. It's funny you mention the Grants Pass stop, as it's one of the easier places to get food, it's a short walk to In N Out where we ate and to get there you walk past a Black Bear Diner. It's also across the street from a divey sports bar we stopped in...

Following up: Applied Aquapel to my windshield a month ago, hit my first serious rain on a Thanksgiving weekend road trip. Aquapel on the back window works great! Absolutely experience wiper chattering with the wipers on Auto 100% of the time 8 /. My Model 3 RWD LR is on 42.3 for what it's...

A friend (S100D) reported a 35 minute wait for one of the 8 slots in Grants Pass, Oregon on Sunday in the early afternoon. Fortunately all 8 stalls were working, one of them was busted when I came through a month ago. I-5 between Portland and San Francisco will be helped out a lot when the...

I forget how much of a bubble SF is, I see ~3-4 Model 3s that are parked outside when I walk my dog every day

That's great that you can do that! With even a moderate sized family it can be difficult to schedule with various vacation times. For me it's one of the few times a year I can see extended family members together so for me it's worth the slog

Yeah, what kbecks13 said. On the holiday weeks in California it isn't people leaving their cars in the spot that's the problem, it's basic capacity and throughput.

The I-5 corridor between the Bay & LA have been a problem the last few years and while there's more capacity I expect there will be some meaty Supercharger lines for those traveling Wednesday & Sunday. I just stopped at The Kettleman City supercharger yesterday driving back to SF, that station...

Through some more searching found a ToughPro mat that you can buy on its own for $30. Love the price, unfortunately there's no lip on the sides at all, which would be nice ToughPRO Tesla Model 3 Storage Mat

I've got all weather mats everywhere in my car except for the sub trunk (Tesla calls it the "Cargo Area" in the manual below, but that's not very descriptive). I just went on a road trip and stored a bunch of tailgating stuff down there and realized for the first time I'd like some protection...

Thanks for the update! I'm curious how this ends up, I hope it's resolved to your satisfaction and you can focus on enjoying the car!

It's absurd. It's like people can't accept that a company can do both good and bad things. Yes, it's the best EV by a mile and also they have clear and serious manufacturing and service issues and that's not ok. All those things can be true, I don't understand the urge to defend a 50 billion...

I had the same thing happen, I called service and explained a parallelogram shaped piece had fallen out of my charge port door and they sent out tesla mobile service to replace the entire charge port door, they didn't charge me. If you google it this is an extremely common problem, I'm...

sorry, which option were you suggesting for glass replacement? I read through this comment twice I didn't see it referenced anywhere.
