I am in the US, so I don't know what the used car market is like in Europe. My wife's cars have been new, but I have always bought used. Just something to keep in mind. Car forums tend to be very slanted towards the brand the forum is associated with. I have spent time on other forums for...

It's been a couple years, but I got mine soon after picking up the car so you don't have to wait. I still had temporary registration at the time. I think one of the papers Tesla provided at delivery was all they needed.

In 2018 I stayed with the car and made them aware of using it and the lift points. There weren't many Model 3s in the northern suburbs where I live. Since then I have just been using the closest places to my house. They have seen Teslas before and know how to use the key, where to find info...

I backed into a parking spot for an appointment, no issue there. I was smart and parked next to a landscaping endcap so the passenger side could not get a door ding. The parking lot was cleared out by the time I left, and the angle I approached at blocked the endcap, which had only grass in...

Personally, I find threads like this very useful for setting expectations. Yes, it is negative in this case and I can accept that not all service centers fall into the same generalization. It does, however, reflect a reality that you could very well encounter. With what happened to me at Devon...

Here is my service experience. I tried to schedule my HW3 upgrade by mobile service. It got rescheduled to my local service center. The day before the appointment I got a text that all non-tire repairs were estimated at 5+ days due to covid precautions, so I rescheduled to about a month later...

2014 GL450. I got it used a few years ago. We have three young kids, and the GL has a great third row big enough for even adults. The infotainment is archaic, but I use my phone. My only regret is maybe not holding out for a used 550, which for that generation were hard to come by back when...

This has come up several times before. IIRC these systems are patented and additionally Tesla's cameras are not optimally placed for creating that type of overall view. I think they're too upward facing to see the ground right next to the car in all places. I also have a Mercedes with this...

I had the same problem when my car was lowered by having the tire blow. The solution is pretty simple, just put a piece of 2x4 in front of the car and roll up on it to gain a little height. That should be enough to get a low profile jack under the puck.

Yes, same here. I also assumed it was due to RCS. Short messages were read allowed as a very long string of gibberish. I'm glad they're trying to bring new features like this, it just needs further updates. None of my texts were deleted, but I guess I'll turn the feature back off for now as...

This just happened to me. I was in a garage for a few days that parks two deep and moves the cars around as needed. It had definitely been moved at least once, but when I picked it up the valet informed me he couldn't get it into drive anymore. To my surprise I couldn't get it out of park...

I'm very curious about this as well. It's unclear to me how much of an improvement this really is over the current state of the car given that they didn't update the 0-60 after the last power boost. If those of us with older AWD LR become unofficial P3- cars I will do it. If it only brings...

Just discovered this yesterday, kids were jumping up and down after getting out of their car seats... Suffice it to say I was not expecting that. After they got out I gave the floor a nice open hand smack. Definitely a big metal sheet under there. I am grateful for this thread, it's rare for...

You can get an armband to hold your phone, or a wrist wallet to hold the card.

Ours was loaded with v8 when v9 had been out for a little while. It should update pretty quickly once you have it on WiFi. I assume cars are not updated between when they leave the factory and when you take delivery, so whatever software was released to the factory at the time yours was built...
