Took my 2018 LR Model 3 (80K miles) in for windshield replacement. Service then informed me of 2 error codes. Low Coolant and Colloant Valve Calibration. No warnings inside car and not adverse conditions noticed while driving. Quoted $20 to add coolant and $205 to diagnose the Collant Valve...

Correct, 93.2% efficiency. According to TeslaFi, used 73.8 KwH and aded 68.77.

I have seen now improvement in range, my current version is 2019.8.5, installed on 4/5/19. 260 wh/mi lifetime efficiency, 12,000 miles. I drained the battery to 11 miles of range (4%), charged to 100%, 305 miles of range. (this charge added 68.77 kWh, if I was at 0%, I would expect to add...

I paid about $2K more in August then if I were to order today. But since I can't order Enhanced AP today, it is not exactly the same (+$1K with FSD or -$4K with just AP). At the end of the day I could have gotten FSD for the price I paid for EAP (or I could have gotten AWD instead of RWD for...

For me, I don't like badging and have taken it off of the last cars I have owned. I just don't find it necessary to tell everyone on the road the trim level (or engine/battery size) of my car. Badging is outdated. Do you see an X (or whatever is the latest $1K phone) on the iPhone?

The other person is at risk, but the other person got the tax credit. Depends on how/if they plan on sharing the tax credit. For me, I wouldn't do it. I would be mad at myself for not getting this straighten out last year, heck, I have nightmares about forgetting to tell my tax guy to take...

I had a problem with what I called wind noise and went to the SC. The noise sound like someone was tapping on the roof above the front passenger door. The tech diagnosed it on the spot. The front wheel well liner was loose. Sure enough, when you tap on the liner it made the same noise. He...

I had my car in for service yesterday, on my way home I hug the right side of every lane I am in (HOV, standard lane, and exit ramp). The screen clearly indicates that I am not centered in the lane. I upgraded to 42.4 a couple days prior to my appointment and I had not problems. While in for...

I did the chrome delete myself and tried and failed at PPF. Chrome delete is MUCH more forgiving. I give my chrome delete job a 7 out of 10. The mirrors are a nightmare and took me over one hour for each mirror (I took one off and did the other on the vehicle, if I were to do it again, leave...

If Lightstream approves your for unsecured loan, you never put Lightstream on the title as a lien holder. If they approved you for a secured loan, they will probably want to send the money directly to Tesla.

Similar thing happened to me. Needed to do the hard reboot, not the 2 steering wheel buttons but a full reboot of the entire car. Don't remember exactly how to do it.

OP, do you not pay sales tax in your state? Of course this is all speculation because there are a lot of variables. If there is a Model 3 with 400 mile range, our resale will drop (I wonder what happened to the resale for any other plug in with less then 150 miles of range when the Model 3...

The $35K Model 3 is available. At least that is what I told my wife. $54K OTD, M3 (only addition is blue paint) -7.5K tax credit -15K gas savings (18K miles per year, previous vehicle was 18 MPG, at $3 a gallon) +3K for electricity +$1K for charger installation -2.5K in registration/plates...

Won't prices increase a little after the tax credit goes away? When I bought my M3, I compared new M3, new S or used S. I compared what my out the door cost would be on all 3 vehicles, and with the tax incentive, new was the way to go by far. I would assume when the price of new models...
