Stability control on my RWD 3 got *extremely* unhappy just with brand new rears and fronts at the wear bars. Spent hundreds of miles that way, it could never learn to deal with it, despite TPMS resets and the like. So I bet it'll be really unhappy with just 1 smaller tire. Good enough in an...

This is actually a fairly interesting question that I think is being dismissed too easily. I also always thought "eh, we have roadside, it's fine." Got a flat on our 3 a few years back when the eco tires were at 24k miles and about to need replacement anyway. Roadside came and gave us a loaner...

Going through this right now; Tesla wants to charge me a bunch of diag fees for stuff. I get why they do it, and some of them are reasonable because I'm nit-picking before the warranty expires, but others are not (eg, backup camera diagnosis fee). Regardless, they wanted me to sign an...

This is pretty neat, and really kind of what I've been wanting. I dislike not having a display right in front of me; not so much that the main display is hard to use or see, but that it's a missed opportunity to show more info at once. Plus being able to actually tell when your turn signal is...

My backup camera was intermittent when we first got the car in 2018 but it got better and better over the years, until the past 6 months. Now it's gotten to the point where it basically never works. Trying to take the car into the service center, gave them my list of 6 or 8 issues, most of them...

Holiday weekend is bad timing for a closure. My in-laws found out the hard way, but were able to get a charger at Kirkwood eventually (there are fewer available now, and they were all taken when they arrived). Also, it sounds like the KW chargers took forever -- i think 16h estimate so it must...

@bmah, I saw your quotes in the Amador Business Ticker: How Tesla Came to Jackson Found this thread when searching for Kirkwood supercharger. It's been rumored for awhile; I guess there's a KPMUD meeting happening on May 8 that has EV charging on the agenda. It sounds like they've disabled the...

Huh. Interesting that they dropped the dimming function. I guess I should get my US spec dimming mirrors up on eBay :D

Yes, they work perfectly, I've got them on my US car. part numbers: LH: 925-2455-001 RH: 925-2456-001

Ditto, I bought both as a pair, and I like having it without the lettering, but I would't bother otherwise :) Heated and dimming work perfectly on the euro mirrors on my US car.

I bought the Suma mirrors (clear, not blue) a couple months ago, they worked fine minus the dimming of course. Then a few weeks ago was able to source some proper European Tesla mirrors from a parts seller in Latvia. Keep an eye on eBay for part numbers: LH: 925-2455-001 RH: 925-2456-001...

I did a roadtrip in my 3 from the bay area to Santa Clarita and back in one day (twice now, heh). I found the 250kW chargers to be a useless party trick. Car had horrible efficiency on the way down; low 40s ambient temps i guess was the reason. Took virtually all 310mi of range to go like...

Thanks for the quick reply. I've updated my comment to reflect (ha!) that fact.

Just got my mirrors tonight, installed them, took a quick spin around the block. Massive, massive improvement over factory. I'd give them a solid 4/5 stars. Better than anything else out there, vastly better than the factory mirrors, they eliminate the colossal blind spots the car comes with. I...
