My wife has a 2018 M3P, and the auto wipers were completely dead. Filled out a service request, two days later someone from Tesla called and said it will be addressed in a software update, for it’s a known issue. Sure enough, got the latest update two days ago, and now the auto wipers work...

When AP is engaged, it would be nice to have a highly-noticable change to the screen, such as like half of the screen inverts its colors, or changes to red/white like the BMW dashes years ago, or a wide colored border around the screen. The blue steering wheel icon is too small, IMHO.

You are a brave man! Welcome to the community. Personally, I would never buy a 10-year-old vehicle. Too many expensive things that can break. You can search the Internet for horror stories about out-of-warranty BMWs, Jaguars, and yes, Teslas. With a Model S, your options for saving money by...

Beautiful car! Great price

Just ordered a set of the Hankook Ions for my wife's 2018 Model 3 Performance. Wow! They are so smooth and quiet, it's approaching Model S levels. About the same price as a set of Michelin Pilots, around $1300. We bought them from Discount Tire, and once shipped, they were installed in a few...

Is your vehicle in Creep mode?

This feature is almost amazing - if my driver door would “pop” open when I’m nearby, just like the Model X , then it would be killer!

For me, smart summon and “come to me” never works initially. I have to first “dumb summon” the car forward or backwards a few inches. Then “come to me” and “go to target” will light up and work correctly. I have FSDb and sentry activated.

My wife and I each have a Model 3 Performance. Hers makes a terrible squeaking sound while backing down the driveway, mine does not. Her vehicle is in Creep mode, mine is in Hold. To stop or slow down our vehicles in reverse, my wife has to hit the brakes, I just release the accelerator. So, I...

Interesting. So how does one know a tire is thin?

Thanks for the writeup! You need to add a great summer tire - The Hankook Ventus V12 EVO2. Had several sets on my Model S, and loved the comfort and traction. Looks like the make a 245/30ZR20 which would fit my M3P!

Makes sense to me. Tesla, like most manufacturers, discounts your upgrade because they get to keep the old parts for other repairs. I have a better question. What on earth are you saving an obsolete infotainment unit for?

Not buying it. 1. This is your first post, from a brand-new account. 2. As @jmaddr mentioned, opening the door WITH YOUR SEATBELT OFF while in Drive immediately slams the car in Park. 3. The only way to keep the car in Drive with an open door is to keep your seatbelt on, but 1) you'll hear an...

My wife fell in love instantly with her M3P’s low cowl and center screen. Whenever she borrowed my Model S, she would tell me the additional screen behind the steering wheel was too much and cluttered up the car.

Interested in knowing the answer! I had a 2015 P85+ and nothing on earth can compare handling-wise – including my ‘21 Model 3 Performance.
