    20th Century Thermostat, Really Elon?

    Amen. I'm set to 75F year round - even in S. Florida summers. No HVAC operational issues.

    It's official!!! Tesla is about innovation, NOT luxury! :)

    Too many hours into fart and games. I own Teslas and Porsches. (2017 & 2021 P-cars) I love both cars for different reasons. Tesla needs to focus on interior appointments especially when they're commanding 139K+ for a plaid Model S. Porsche interiors are PHENOMENAL.

    Quietest 21" tires

    Too bad the Bridgestone QuietTrack is not available in 21" sizes.

    Window vent visors/rain guards?

    I live in S. FL and drive 20K+ miles per year. A/C is activated from ~May thru October. I have zero issues with battery getting eaten up even on long road trips. Keep tire pressures on point and alignment in spec.

    Alcantara fabric

    Or look for used door panels for sale.

    Why do so many Tesla owners wrap their cars?

    F**cking terrible! I'm so glad I have extensive PPF - the film is taking a beating (doing it's job)

    Metal popping noises after control arm replacement

    No - just coming from the steering column.

    Model 3 production line shut down ??

    It is due to chip shortages. Teslarati and/or Electek have the article.

    Salty...[comment about tone of posts]

    As a multiple P-car owner I do my best to keep the Taycan forum in check ;)

    :eek: Inquire about a B18C1 and they'll freak out and tell you: "it's a B18C5 idiot!"

    the rate at which this car chews thru tires is insane

    I hate Pirelli - always had bad luck and they get noisy and dry after 6 months. My 991.2 came with them, 996TT had them, new 21 Cayenne GTS has them. I look forward to Pirellis wearing out so they can get Michelins.

    Replacement Tire Suggestions for 2018 Model 3 Extended Range

    S. Florida here. 23-24K miles and still have plenty of tread remaining. 1 rotate at ~9K miles. ONLY drive in HOLD (regen) since day 1.

    Building a new home (wall connector/electrical advice)

    +2. The conduit running down the wall between my garage doors terminates at a 14-50 outlet that I had installed at the recommended height for the wall connector. If I ever decide to get a wall connector - I'm ready. 60-amp circuit BTW. I don't see the need for wall connector anytime soon since...

    Raising the price of the 14-50 adapter

    If it was financial the owner wouldn't/shouldn't be driving a 40-60K vehicle. It's cheap - all things being relative!

    Key card lost

    Another one not willing to RTFM or search. :rolleyes:

    Why are people waiting at Costco gas stations instead of buying Teslas?

    I use Costco fuel for all my ICE vehicles. I never experience abnormally long wait times where I live and for what I spend on fuel the 2% return I receive every year is great.

    Cabin Overheat protection

    Um... nothing. :rolleyes: Use cabin overheat w/o A/C as Uncertain mentioned. If your windows aren't tinted in cabin will get abnormally hot when sitting outside in direct sun. Keep in mind we have giant glass roof panels. I live in S. FL and have no hot cabin issues.

    Metal popping noises after control arm replacement

    I have a similar noise after both upper arms replaced recently. Do you hear a popping when turning the steering wheel left/right at parking lot speeds? (Backing out of spot - pulling into spot)

    Car Scent/Air Freshener ?

    I HATE air fresheners. My Teslas still have lingering new scent even being over a year old. Besides the obvious smoking here are the key things I have found to keep an interior smelling new/fresh are: 1. NEVER put food items in the cabin. (frunk only) 2. NEVER use recirc HVAC function (any...

    Rear defroster not working

    Turn it on and place your hand on the glass. :rolleyes:
  21. XLR82XS

    Is it bad for the interior to get too hot?

    Yep. I live in S. Florida - zero problems. Cabin overheat protection and ceramic window tint help.

    Aftermarket Mirrors?

    For the glass I would get the SUMA pieces. Once experiencing them - I couldn't drive the 3 without them. TESLA

    19 M3P in South Florida

    Congrats from a fellow S. Florida owner.

    Cost of battery replacement?

    Model 3: quoted $15K + ~20 hrs. labor. (Q4 2019)

    Naples Service Center

    Where did you hear that from? That is great news even though it is a terribly busy intersection especially during season.

    Porsche Taycan is MUCH better looking than the Tesla

    Congrats! They are incredible - Taycan is my next EV.

    2021 M3 LR Rocker Panel Paint Peeling

    Another example of terrible Tesla paint. Once it is sorted I suggest PPF immediately. I dropped my Teslas at my installer the day I purchased my cars for full PPF install. Utilized the BTP method before I drove out of the delivery center. IMG_2025 by XLR82XS posted Aug 21, 2019 at 9:22 AM

    Valet with Phone Key Options?

    I have used valet and had them give me my phone after parking the car. No big deal.

    Creaking Steering on Model 3 - 21k

    Curious why they used 2 different versions of arms. To my knowledge the H is the latest supersession part.

    Irregular digital ticking noise near steering column

    Not my issue. Interested in what service finds in your case.

    Irregular digital ticking noise near steering column

    Not yet! I'm thinking of scheduling another service visit. Annoying since I have had 4 service trips for this type of noise and it has yet to be solved. Both front upper control arms replaced a couple weeks ago and the clicking-while-turning-wheel is still apparent - ruling the arms out.

    Porsche Taycan is MUCH better looking than the Tesla

    Porsche service, where I live, is INCREDIBLE. Never been treated so well for purchase, service, etc... + free omelets and hand car washes every Saturday. ;) Ive dealt with a few Porsche dealers over the years and, as other may state, their service is top-tier.

    GM "ultium battery" Norway superbowl commercial

    F GM. Anything past 1969 is garbage. My prediction is another bailout request within this decade.
  39. XLR82XS

    Hummer EV

    IF is always the word with GM - typical vaporware from them. And they don't how to build quality trucks. My guess is another bailout request within the decade.

    The reason Tesla will overtake BMW

    E63S wagon is awesome. I've owned E-class wagons and loved them.

    The reason Tesla will overtake BMW

    @Dolemite : Doug DeMoron - :D His speaking is too fast among other annoyances compared to other YT reviewers.

    The reason Tesla will overtake BMW

    +2. No ICE for my daily duty. That said, I will never loose the interest in my "vintage" ICE vehicles and some will never leave me until I die.

    2018: Model 3 - License Plate Light

    They're LED so failure rate should be VERY low. If both are out something is going on since the chance both burning out at the same time is extremely rare. Try removing the trunk lid plastic panel to access them.

    Model 3 Stock Tire Replacement (<7k Miles)
