    Rear Drive Unit Failed

    Out of curiosity, did they refund the diagnosis fee? I would expect them too if the failure was exclusively caused by something under warranty. I've only dealt with a warranty claim when I still had the "bumper to bumper" so I could be misinformed though.

    Squeaking Brakes

    Mine started doing this exactly under the same condition, colder weather, only while reversing. After reading comments about deposits from very little use of pads, I think it's because I use the pads heavily for autocross, but the autocross season ended in October and now I pretty much just use...

    "Gearbox fluid recommended" warning

    Walmart's house brand, full synthetic, scored highly in independent testing for severe usage. I use it exclusively in the S2000 for track days. Anyone who pays $$$ for the other brands you listed is a sucker IMO

    WTB: One 20" OEM Model 3 Performance Wheel

    I could, but I want to use the spare as well, so I'm always monitoring it's pressure and so the tread will be the same if I have to swap it in a pinch. I'm used to doing a 5-wheel rotation pattern on older cars. Also if the wheel is damaged when I need the spare, then I'll have the replacement...

    thoughts on trading in a 2016 tesla 75d model s for performance model 3

    Definitely a personal preference thing, but I'll chime in anyway. My wife has a 2018 Model S 75D, but without any physical upgrades (like yours, OP) and I have a Model 3 Performance. As you can probably guess by my avatar I greatly prefer the Model 3 Performance because of how it drives. Much...

    M3P vs winter tires - in Boston, MASS

    Personally I would strongly recommend winter tires. However, if most of your driving is going to be in a city/metro area where the roads are regularly salted and plowed, AND you have experience driving a car with all-season tires in snowy conditions, AND your factory tires still have lots of...

    Non-Tesla Trade Ins

    I seem to be the odd man out here. I had a 2013 Elantra GLS,with a 6-speed manual with ~120,000 miles. The local Hyundai dealer offered me $2,000 for it, Carmax offered me $3,000, and I ended up trading it in for my 3 Performance for $4,000.
