    March of 9s: The Beginning of the End

    I for one have noticed a huge improvement in autonomous driving. I use navigation then put the car in autodrive and it handles pretty much everything fairly well. Yes it does slows down to stop at stop signs. I usually glide through the stop sign slowly. It stop way behind the stop sign and...

    I got my new Autopilot defeat device

    So stupid that people try to defeat the safeguards Tesla has for FSD. That is why those people are involved in fatal accidents giving Tesla a bad name.

    19" Tire options: Continental vs Michelin?

    I have 47,295 miles on my OEM Continental tires. I'm down to 3/32 so definitely need to replace them. I have a M3 LR rear wheel drive and rotate them about every 8K miles. I am going with the original tires given the great mileage I have gotten off mine. I would be greatly disappointed if I...

    Best 19 tires replacement

    Thanks for your excellent review of tires. Very informative and great to have the links. I have 19" rims so the Continentals looks like the best fit and has an excellent price point. The Michelins are sold at Costco but currently they are out of stock, they are offering $150 off atm. On a...

    Blog Ford Makes $11.4B Investment in Electric Future

    We should all applaud this announcement. It's not we against them, but united we can built a better planet. I hope their vision comes true. Competition is good for everyone. Elon Musk should be proud that he sparked a revolution. Many people where pretty skeptical that electric cars could ever...

    Newbie Question - Sentry mode and Dashcam

    Here is a simple solution: You can format and set up the drive from the car. With the drive inserted and no other connections to the 2nd USB port, select Controls > Safety & Security, and then FORMAT USB DEVICE. You may have to scroll the screen up to see the FORMAT option. A format erases...

    Tesla Model 3 Three Year Review – the Basics (Part 1)

    Great review and I would agree with a lot of your comments. Especially about the rims being bigger than the tires. I have rim rash on most of the wheels. That was before they updated the software so that when you backup, the mirrors adjust to look at the curb. The rear camera was not very...

    MASTER THREAD: FSD Subscription Available 16 Jul 2021

    Not call M3 came with HW3, so if you had an older MS like I did, Tesla had to upgrade the computer. In my case it was free because I already had FSD. I have a 2018 M3

    MASTER THREAD: FSD Subscription Available 16 Jul 2021

    Would FSD add to the resale of a car that has this option? Perhaps not 100% but would at least add value.

    Where is the best place to purchase/replace/align tires on a Model 3?

    Lots of tire shops fix flats for free. Never had a problem with the independent shops. Fixed 3 flats on my Tesla already, all due to screws.

    Tesla Humor

    Next day for me. But the service center was in a push to get cars out before the end of the quarter. So they were super busy. They gave me a model S to drive so no problem for me.

    J.D. Power Report Says Tesla Vehicles Prone to Problems

    I cannot believe that Tesla is dead last in the JD Powers report. I have had a M3 for 2 years. Zero service calls. Not perfect is every way but pretty close. We have about 24K on the car. I am loving how the car keeps getting better OTA updates. I own a Kia Sedona, really nice car in lots of...

    Official Thread: Cybertruck (Cybrtrk) Event - Nov 21, 2019

    It looks more like a cross between a Delorean and a Hummer. Super badass in my opinion. Already have my $100 down. This tank will go great with my Model 3. My wife can drive the M3, I'll take this Cybertruck. Can't wait to start driving over curbs, lol. I'm looking forward to seeing how...
