So... no mechanics around Pittsburgh can do this?

I'm in the Pittsburgh area. Anyone know of any local mechanics in my area with experience in doing the motor / differential assembly oil drain and fill and replace the filter? After nearly 6 years and 127K miles, it is due to be changed, I don't believe in that "lifetime fluid" BS that...

I was on the Tesla website today, and I noticed that both versions of the 3, standard and all wheel drive, are listed at 125 mph top speed. When did this change? We need 140+because 'MERICA!!!

We need it because... we need it! That's why. Why NOT have it, when just about every other car ever made has it, and even Model S and X still have it, it is only the models 3 and Y that don't, with their different computers. And maybe I want to measure a certain distance and would like to...

I don't like this Autopilot Suspension thing, especially if it is for a week. Just like the last version that got more strict, I'll learn to avoid it. It used to be that the blue lights on the screen would blink for a good 10 seconds before disconnecting the AP. Then it changed to...

I'm not installing this new software update, at least not until I read more about it from other people. As it is, I have to touch the steering wheel / move my 19 ounce steering wheel de-nagger weight once every 10-11 miles. I have a 20 mile highway drive to and from work, and one de-nagger...

It's not removed, my Model 3 still has it and I've had recent updates. It's on 2023.32.9 now.

When Tesla introduced the ability for a song or news or stand up comedy bit to be played over again from the start if the car is parked and left then you return, I thought it was good. But there are times I don't want it to happen. When I'm making short trips, I might hear the same thing 3-4...

My April '18 build Model 3 that I got in May '18 is at 119,936 miles. I will drive it enough tomorrow to expire the 8 year / 120,000 mile drive train warranty, in 5 years and 4-1/2 months! Then the fun begins. I already miss the days of being a "Tesla Elite" person with a full factory...

I've been using my power connector that was supplied with hte car as my at home charger connection for over 5 years now and 119,000 miles. A couple weeks ago, I noticed it was charging at 16/32 amps and had the red "T", I unplugged it and reconnected it and it's been fine ever since. First...

LOL that's funny, FSD, a system which isn't even operational yet, after many years, is "too cheap"? Sorry, I will refuse the honor of paying $12 grand for an experimental FSD that's not ready. If Tesla were being smart about it, they'd give it away for free for a while, to gather more data and...

I've known about the flaws that allows the grease to get washed out of the left side upper ball joint, but the right side one seemed to be less of an issue. Early this year I finally got a big syringe (about 3/4" thick and 3 inches long) and started regreasing the left side upper ball joint...

People should just go into those lots, take the unwanted cars, and drive them. Get some good out of them.

I've seen video channels on this subject, the Chinese simply make the cars, in some cases the cars are not even complete and drivable, then they just park them in fields. China is scamming the system, as they do in many other things. If they would actually USE the cars, they might not have the...
