    Is the cost of PPF worth it?

    2018 Model 3, 71K miles, black. No PPF. I’ve driven on a number of unpaved roads over the years. There’s maybe one spot on the hood that is showing some primer (very small), it’s not noticeable unless you’re really looking for it. Nothing touchup paint can’t fix. I don’t see the value...

    Model 3 rwd now charging at 48 amps [after HV battery replacement]

    It’s not actually the battery that matters - it’s the onboard AC-DC charger.

    MXM4 Second set wear warranty - will they credit towards Pilot Sport AS4’s?

    Hi there! I’ve worn through my second set of MXM4’s (2018 Model 3 18” Aero), this time at about 27K miles (2/32 - 3/32 per tire). I had this set ‘discounted’ by Michelin when the original MXM4’s hit 3/32s @ 23K miles. Does Michelin give money back for the tires premature wear if I switch to...

    MASTER THREAD: Powering house or other things with Model 3

    I've read through the entire thread but don't see any examples. Has anyone successfully tapped into the Subwoofer power source for powering an inverter? My use case is I'd like to charge an Ecoflow Delta battery @ 200 or 300 watts while using that battery to power something like a fridge...

    Solar Roof Questions - Can you mix roof types? Is $250 deposit required to get an exact quote? Gutter size?

    Thanks - I'm not in a rush here so just wanted to explore a bit first

    Solar Roof Questions - Can you mix roof types? Is $250 deposit required to get an exact quote? Gutter size?

    Hi there! I just moved; previous house had Tesla solar panels + Powerwall. The new house has a large *attached* garage/workshop (2160 sq ft) that has a roof in better shape than the rest of the house. My two main questions are: 1. Will Tesla work with you to do only a partial roof...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I think the remote productivity totally depends upon experience, individual work ethic, and the role. If you limit your company to specific physical job markets then you have limited access to talent, period. There are always people who can't be productive remotely, but there are plenty that...

    Range on road trip much lower than expected (<200 miles on full charge)

    What’s the wh/mile difference between the 19” Gemini wheel+tire package vs the 20s? On the model 3 there is a significant range reduction (15-20% at highway speed?) stepping up wheel size because you also get stickier tires. Lastly 3-6 additional psi on the tires (stay within spec..) can make...

    Going to order a new Model 3 performance. Should I consider the long range AWD?

    Long Range with the $2K acceleration boost is really close in acceleration.. and you can still have the 18" Aeros with that combo for maximum range and efficiency .. Dragtimes showed them extremely close even on the top end acceleration:

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    FalconFour - when the CCS chargers report high temperatures and start throttling -- does the temperature stay at "170F" (70C) or does it keep climbing and further throttling? How long have you left running? Where are you seeing 170F reported? Thanks.
