    How do U force update?

    I'm still on 2023.20.7 - from June of last year. I have a 2018 M3P with 2.5 Hardware, maybe the older cars/HW get fewer updates.

    Black screen stuck!

    My 2018 MP3 now has the same issue. OP, was this resolved?

    Spacesaver spare wheel

    I had a small spare from my new gen Mustang that fits well. $150 with scissor jack.

    OEM Mustang wheel on M3P-

    I bent a stock Aero wheel on the interstate and had it towed home. I have an extra set of 18" wheels from a 2016 Mustang, and they are the same bolt circle and offset. I'm trying to decide whether to buy one more Aero wheel or use the Mustang wheels instead. My commute is short, I'm not...

    Motion sickness?

    After a few days you will learn to modulate the pedal as smoothly as any limo driver, even in full regen.

    Finally got my M3P from Vroom - damaged undertray

    Pulled off the cover and all looks dry, no signs of leaks. Replaced 2 missing 6mm bolts and trimmed ragged edge. All good. I realized all M3Ps have ‘track mode’ - I thought this was an add-on for $. This thing handles well, even with all-seasons and 42psi :)

    Finally got my M3P from Vroom - damaged undertray

    Got a 2018 M3P stealth, 20K miles, $46k. While it was still on the delivery truck, I looked underneath for damage, and found this. Looks old, so I doubt it happened in transport. The rest of the car is in good shape, a few light scratches and chips, but it's been well cared for. I sent the pic...

    Buying Tesla Model 3 via Vroom

    Got my downpayment refund from Vroom. Now waiting on trade-in check. Once it arrives (knock on wood) I will order a new M3P.

    New vs used M3P?

    Not physical expansion, the kWh of the battery pack went up a bit in 2021. Slightly diff battery chemistry apparently.

    New vs used M3P?

    I’ve decided to get a 2021. I didn’t realize the battery pack expanded until today, that tipped it for me. Now I need to learn about the ordering process.

    New vs used M3P?

    Thanks folks. I’m leaning toward new. I think 3yr resale would make up half of the diff, and I treat cars well. But it’s a tough call.

    New vs used M3P?

    I just got back feom looking at a 2018 M3P+. 34k miles, EAP, gray paint, 2 rashed wheels, tires need to be replaced. It has a few minor cosmetic issues, and has had body fixed twice, as listed on carfax. Wants $41k which is fair. But- he needs it for another 6 weeks while he waits for a Taycan...
