    Object In Road while on AP

    I have never encountered the same situation on AP. Luckily all ended well. When AP/FSD CAN handle this, then and only then will it be worth 12K. IMHO

    All Season Tire Preferences - MICHELIN PILOT SPORT ALL SEASON VS VREDESTEIN QUATRAC PRO VS EXTREMECONTACT DWS 06 PLUS

    PSAS4 after 14K. No complaints, very good wet or dry traction. Noisy on ruff roads. Good wear so far. No snow in Mesa.

    Aftermarket Tire Pressure [what tire pressure for my aftermarket tires?]

    Call Tire Rack. They know aftermarket wheel setups. Any pressure UP TO maximum printed on tire sidewall is acceptable. Depending on your priorities, ride, handling, traction, or range. Door sticker will usually cover most cases.

    Tesla Financing vs Self Arranged?

    Why not initiate a "per approval" with the credit union. It won't cost you anything to see what "hoops" they want you to jump. A good banking relationship is always good to have. I've been with my credit union for 50 years, thru all types of financial issues. They didn't even blink when told...

    Model 3 Tires, Tire Sizes, Types, make / model recommendations, tire discussions, etc

    Optional wheels look great, but can be a "PITA". 18" ride smoother, and are more durable.

    Pano Roof and Hot Phoenix Sun

    Most will recommend window tint, but here in the desert that glass gets HOT! I use the Tesla sunshade + foil insolation to reflect heat. Roof Sun Shade + UV/Heat Insulation Film | Tesla Model Y (2020/2021)

    Anyone else have to refill their tires every few mos?

    I owned a Nissan that would light the TPMS when 2lbs low. While a previous Toyota would NOT warn of tires 15lbs low. Different cars different responses.

    Anyone carry an emergency 12V tire compressor to allow to drive to a garage station to get a flat repaired.

    Bought a $35.00 12V compressor at Harbor Freight a few days after I got the car. Used many times to top-up tires, works perfectly. Yes it will do 45 psi. Compressor and plug kit = cheap insurance. And a can of "Fix a Flat" just in case.

    Cabin filter cover has no screw

    Would have been easier if they had put the screw at the bottom of the door.

    Road Trip from Seattle to Bozeman Mountain Drive Habits

    Stop worrying. "Drive it like you stole it" The car will tell you if your doing it wrong.

    Rich Rebuilds Electrified Garage repairs Model 3 at $15K+ discount

    Saw the video and thought. It's the owners fault. Accident and no insurance. BUT its a new car, and the repair was simple. COME ON TESLA! This actually points to a flaw in the design. Shouldn't that area be better protected??? What scars me is, I've just passed 50K. What could go wrong?

    Frozen Touch Screen

    The first time it worried me, I was driving on the freeway doing 70 MPH, on A/P. Kept driving and in about a minute all was back to normal. The second time it annoyed me because my passenger freaked out. Despite my assurances that all was well. After the car rested for about an hour, all systems...
