    Have MYLR, thinking about buying MX

    If you do more highway driving and longer road trips, go with the MX - it is more comfortable in all aspects and its added range can make a difference compared to the MYLR for certain trips. City driving and tight parking spots, go with the MY as it is much easier to maneuver in confined areas...

    Discussion: Model 3 Price reductions - Jan / April / Oct 2023 and all other pricing discussions

    I believe the discount is determined by the VIN - with older VINs getting the larger discount - but I would expect that all these vehicles were built within a few weeks if not days of each other. All these prices have the same specs: M3 RWD MSM/Black 18". I am thinking that by showing the...

    Discussion: Model 3 Price reductions - Jan / April / Oct 2023 and all other pricing discussions

    Just did another inventory search for M3 RWD - and found 11 different prices. Tesla is applying discounts in exactly 1% increments. I wonder if we will see $34,701?! $35,090 10.0% $35,480 9.0% $35,870 8.0% $36,260 7.0% $36,650 6.0% $37,040 5.0% $37,430 4.0% $37,820 3.0%...

    Discussion: Model 3 Price reductions - Jan / April / Oct 2023 and all other pricing discussions

    I placed an order for an M3 RWD on Sunday (Dec 3) priced at $36,260. All paperwork was completed on Tuesday (Dec 5) and was scheduled to pick it up today (Dec 6). This morning, there were one or two M3 RWD priced at $35,090. I asked if they could match the price but was told that prices are...

    Water leaking through roof via falcon doors

    I had the same issue - resolved with FWD adjustments. It did take two or three visits to fully resolve the leak.

    Can't find cybertruck reservation

    Mine is still showing up - and as previous post stated, the order page has been locked-down thus you are unable to make any changes to your original reservation. You should have an email confirmation when you submitted the order, which includes the order agreement along with the CT model and...

    Tesla Wall Chargers with 2 Teslas - Advice Needed

    Since you already have a wall charger, I would suggest that you keep it at 60-amps and mount it so it can reach both vehicles. Then use a mobile charger for one of the vehicles for day-to-day charging. This way you, when you really need it, have a faster way to charge your vehicles with the...

    Replaced Steering wheel tearing again

    Tesla is working on an updated version of the yoke steering wheel with improved materials - which are expected to be available in October 2023. I was asked to resubmit a repair ticket in October to get the updated part.

    FWD is opened during drive on freeway.

    In one of the software updates in 2022, Tesla added a warning message along with the speed limited to 5 mph I you drove with the FWD still open.

    '23 X vs '23 Y

    I have driven a few older MS's - I would easily choose the new MY: faster computers; faster super charging; longer range; feels more solid; and the heat pump.

    '23 X vs '23 Y

    I don't know if it's the MX suspension, the extra weight, or both, but to me it feels more solid in fast turns, but the MY is not bad. The regenerative braking on the MY is more aggressive, which I assume is due to lesser weight, so it is probably easier to drive on twisting roads as you can...

    '23 X vs '23 Y

    I have both a '22 MX and '22 MY. Aside from the major difference in price, they are both great vehicles. The MX is wonderful for highway driving but I prefer the MY in city driving, especially with smaller parking spots. For the driver and front-seat passenger, the field of view through the MX...

    Water leaking through falcon door (when it is closed)?

    I had the same problem. I had to take my MX in twice for the problem to be resolved. One of the issues was in the driver's door. Open the driver's door and look at the top-right corner: You will see the gasket the runs around the entire door frame but also there is a plastic/rubber piece the...

    dl_a175 / Cruise Control Not Available after 2022.36.2 Firmware

    Had the same issue several times with my MX - under both the current (2022.44.25.5) and previous FSD release. Tried opening and closing all the doors but it did not appear to work - it just started working again the next day. I brought the MX in for service - and since the AP was working at...
