    New EV tire options

    After many hours researching this exact topic, I just put 4 of the Hankook Evo Ion AS on my spouses M3. We got it 12/2020 and it has 37,000 miles on it. These are replacing the stock Michelin's. I have been very pleased with them, they are MUCH quieter on the highway and I am seeing better...

    Spare tire question and TPMS or not?

    I went with the modern spare kit for mine. It is more space-saving and packaged well so you can easily take it out if you want for shorter trips etc. It is a bit more expensive, but with a used rim and then the tire, it comes out pretty close. For All 2017-2022 Tesla Model 3 Trim Levels -...

    Is a RWD / Standard Model 3 ok for a 140 Mile daily commute?

    I have about the exact same commute. I went with the LR but seriously considered the SR...I choose the LR because of some of the options it has and we do roadtrips of 500 miles usually about 1 time every 6 weeks or so. We are in the south with heavy heat and humidity. I charge to 90% nightly...

    "Headlights on" command not available

    I am amazed that the headlights do not turn on automatically with the headlights. This is required in 18 states already and a huge safety issue. So now I am trying to get the headlights on while it is raining heavily and I try the voice command and it doesn't work. Now I have to look away...

    You can opt to pay for it yearly vs monthly and if you do yearly it saves you about 2 months...it is $99 for a year, that is the option I went with. Just having the traffic and streaming for my podcast's and music is worth it for me.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Picked it up Thursday. The quality was amazing! Only 2 small paint issues (1 scuff in the clear coat and one chip on edge of hood by wipers, otherwise no other issues were found. Panel gaps were nonexistent. The car came with the Matrix Global headlights, heater wipers, mobile charger...

    Yeah, that was a typo...I was thinking of the difference in price between the Pinnacle and the Stratos...so yes, the windshield is $250...sorry about that.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I just dropped off the car for the tint. Getting the Formula One Stratos and while it is a bit more expensive than the Pinnacle, I think it is worth it. The shop I have gone to and continue to go to is phenomenal! They do the back window in 1 piece. The Strato's out the door is $849.00...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I just got back from dropping the car off for the tinting. I was able to turn off the auto high beams as I described with auto pilot engaged. Not sure why you haven't been able to @ForestGump

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I will try this out in a little bit. Our car that it works on is a 2021, one of the last with the radar from 12/20. I just picked up my new 2022 yesterday and has no radar. But I thought I tried it last night and it turned them off. I will check and report back in a bit.

    You can actually turn the Auto High Beems off. You have to do it everytime you engage AutoPilot, but it can be done. All you need to do is push the turn signal lever forward (towards front of car). This will set the lights back to the "normal" mode. Glad you are enjoying the car! We love...
