    Cabin Air Filter Replaced too Frequently?

    Thank you very much Golferguy! Much appreciated. FWIW, I went with the Lysol disinfectant option for sub-10. The Microban was a little iffy on the reviews.

    Cabin Air Filter Replaced too Frequently?

    Does anyone have recommendations on the type of replacement filter to use for the interior cabin? I have a 2019 Model 3 and I've seen a few on Amazon (XTechnor, etc.) but their quality in the latest reviews for each have been meh. Thanks in advance for any responses. :)

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    Bought my Tesla Model 3 in July 2019. Max charge was 319. Current full charge as of today is 270 at 6000 miles. That’s 16% loss in half a year? Outside of doing the work of getting true range via this thread, I’m not happy at all.

    Recommended electricians in DFW?

    I'm actually looking for one now. I've been gathering recommendations from this forum and compiling into an instruction list for the company I'll choose. So far I've gotten: - 240 volt NEMA 14-50 high quality socket - #6 wire or better to handle the current. - Ground pin should be up. - Try...

    Recommended electricians in DFW?

    Hi all, Does anyone have recommendations for an electrician that could install plug into my garage? (Not the Tesla branded one, but a standard 14-50 (I believe that’s the type). I’m located in Irving, Texas and would like to get a referral if y’all have one. Thanks in advance!

    Model 3 Car Insurance in Texas?

    That's a fair observation. Comparing a 20 year old vehicle insurance rate with a brand new one would have an inherent price difference. :) . I just wasn't expecting the mid-700's! :D

    Model 3 Car Insurance in Texas?

    Really? I'm genuinely surprised. It does add to those cost of ownership numbers in a way I didn't anticipate. My coverage has multi-discounts due the fact that I have a lot of other insurance products with State Farm. Just didn't expect it to be that wide of a marginal difference.

    Model 3 Car Insurance in Texas?

    Hi all, I was just quoted $724 for six months from State Farm, which is be-nanas. Clean driving record with over 20+ years of driving and I was floored. I saw other threads here about obtaining insurance in states like Michigan, etc., but would love to know any referrals for car insurance...

    Largest concern about buying a model 3

    That's essentially it. What I'm waiting on is a new event that I'll starting in October around virtual design sprints. Once that starts showing some promise, the purchase would be a no-brainer. I may pull the trigger much sooner than that, as my wife's 20 year old Honda Civic is barely...

    Largest concern about buying a model 3

    I'm also a lurker and a soon to be purchaser, but my concern isn't with the company. I have a situation where my finances aren't where I'd like them to be to justify the purchase. I can easily afford a Model 3, but I'd like to feel comfortable knowing my financial house is in order. Having...

    Prepping for a Model 3 purchase - Would like your perspective

    Thank you very much MoHazee4, and I'll certainly scrutinize everything I can. Already had a suggestion to be hawkish and take my time during delivery inspection before driving off.
