We got our LR RWD in July 2018 and the car has been ridiculously solid. Had one of the front fog lights conk out about a month in, but Mobile Service came by and swapped in a new unit. Other than that, our only service has been tire rotations.

It's kind of perverted to sit there and think, "do I need to run any errands...?" And then get excited when the answer is "Yes"! I tell friends that I love my Model 3 more than life itself. Just so damn clean, quiet... and downright FUN. (Note: mine is just a LR RWD!)

My wife and I were in NZ earlier this year and did a lot of driving ... all the while I was wishing I was driving my 3 because they "upgraded" me to a hulking, fuel-guzzling SUV. Not fun on the relatively narrow roads and one-lane bridges! The cool part was driving from Christchurch to...

It's just hard to judge the clearance over there for some reason. I've started looking in the side view mirror to see where the curb (kerb in NZ?) Is relative to the car and haven't done it in a while.

Guilty! (But she appreciated it)

Yow. A friend's wife hit a deer in her 3 a couple of months ago and must have hit it at a much higher speed -- her front end was seriously messed up, frunk lid flipped up -- I don't think it was driveable. Took about 7 weeks to get all the parts in. Glad you're OK. I figured the deer was...

You guys all on the north island?

I got this one, which is very similar: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ISPD5A0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It worked well. And I love my roof racks -- no noticeable difference in efficiency with it installed.

It's a shame Tesla laid off all those employees recently... they could use a few extra customer service people. Last July, right after we got our Model 3 we took it on a road trip to Montreal. After taking the Lake Express ferry across Lake Michigan the nav system was stuck, thinking we were...

My wife has a Samsung Galaxy Tab A (small form factor tablet, model SM-T280) that she has at all times, and it's Android powered so I figured it'd be a perfect key for our Model 3. But for some reason it doesn't even see the car in the Bluetooth pairing... nor does it see my Galaxy S9... it does...

I just wrote [email protected] and complained and told them I want to be able to turn ELDA off permanently. Please do the same. This is an unacceptable "feature".

Thanks @Sherlo -- Sure enough, SavedClips had several folders in it -- First has the lady getting something out of her back seat; a couple of folders with other clips while parked; and a folder where the last clips are footage of me walking up to the car when I returned. Cool. I only started...

So, I was parked today for about a half hour, when I came back there was a message on the screen that two Sentry Mode events happened. Where are these stored? I looked through the clips during my parked period and think I see what it thought was suspicious (lady parked in front of me getting...

What really annoys me is, after she reported the car trying to steer itself the other day, I confidently went out and turned the damn thing off, and told her it wouldn't be a problem any more. Here's my thinking: When it happened the other day it was when an oncoming car in the other lane...

My wife just came home from a trip to the hairdresser and she was visibly shaking. She came home on some 2-lane roads and she said she lost count at 12 false-positive corrections. And when a doe ran across the road in front of her (she was expecting it), the car did nothing, which is ironic...
