Wow. My old 2.5 year old thread….. haha. I ended up taking my tesla model 3 to Firestone on Ogden in Westmont or Downers grove 2-3 times. Just ask if they have the “Hawkeye” system.

I can sympathize. Up until this year, I drove 1.5 hrs away from my house to get my ppf and tint done by the same place (they did 4 of my cars in 10 years) …. I found a more local place (15 min away) to put ppf back on a single door. The local place criticized the ppf that I had always went to...

When I did the used trade sites about a month ago, Tesla was still better by $1-2k And that’s not taking into consideration the tax savings (if allowable in your state) from reducing the taxable amount of the purchase price (in the full amount of the trade in value, another $2-3k)

Did you take pictures of the exterior and interior of the app? If so, then you’ll get a specific value. Good luck! I thought my trade in value was bad, but now the new car prices have dropped…..

The person disapppointed in a model 3 range drop in the cold may have an older model without the heat pump, which makes a huge difference. During the recent freeze around Christmas, I made a round trip without needing to recharge with 40 miles left. About 1 year ago, I made the exact trip in...

Was there ice in that mix? Odd that snow could do that……

wow. for me, mobile service is usually within 1-2 wks. there are no service centers within 1 hr of me, but if i'm willing to drive 1.5-2 hours (with traffic) there are 3+ there is supposed to be a ramp up of service capacity (mobile and service centers), and they need it, for the increase in...

oof, sorry to hear about your string of bad luck. i'm curious as to why the insurance company said you "needed" to go to a tesla service center to have it repaired. there are now multiple "tesla authorized body shops" (but maybe there are none near you?) tesla parts shortages have been an...

.....except the screenshots that you posted, tesla's website refers to them as tesla AWD but i get what you're saying..... the press called it tesla standard range because it was less range than the LR, but on the public-facing tesla website, it is referred to the AWD the last time tesla...

Does your MYP (or the one you drove) have the newer comfort suspension? I think the 2023 MYP with comfort suspension, drove very similar to the 2018 model 3 dual motor that I traded in - specifically regarding road imperfections being transmitted to the cabin and the lack of body roll when...

Not to mention the improved oem suspension, too!

Thanks! I never thought to look in the loot box!

i have too many roundabouts where i live to trust fsd..... but they also make spirited driving a bit more fun, esp with the MYP suspension (without the body roll)

as the OP, just an update - i ended up getting the MYP, and thank god i did...... i like to stay oem, too..... and getting an acceleration boost ($2k) and the spoiler ($800) is over 2/3 of the cost to upgrade to MYP.

in the entire time that acceleration boost has been available (even with the model 3's), i don't recall hearing that the amount of improvement changes. that being said, to me, acceleration boost is only part of the equation. the suspension also plays a role, too. I like the stability...
