    Tesla Model 3 range

    Make sure cabin overheat protection is off, turn off sentry mode to save even more battery.

    Lane Departure Warning - no sound

    Yeah, for some reason most of the time, you don't get an audio warning BUT occasionally when I am exiting the highway, at this one particular exit, if i ride the line, it thinks that I left the line and am about to crash. In that case you get beeps and flashes on the screen showing you that you...

    Manual Homelink on v12 ⁦(2024.20.1 831cee498fc0)

    I've had the icon disappear on me a few times. You can just go to the menu and then the icon is in there also. Once you click the icon, i'll appear again.

    2024 Highland purchase - Is a charging cable provided?

    I wish the mods, JJ or the forums settings will lock the threads after a certain time. You always have some randos just replaying to a post from 2 years ago with some wrong information.

    2024 Model 3 Performance Announced - Discussion thread post announcement

    I actually think it's fairly common to have the same car in different territories have different HP and torque ratings. I know Audis and BMWs are like that.

    Insane Mode- All the time?

    Guys! ewoodrick said that there's no point in a performance version of anything that's allowed on the street. All cars should be limited to 85mph because that the fastest speed anyone would ever need. Also cars don't need to accurate faster than 0-60 in 7 sec. Any faster and it's dangerous...

    Do these steering wheel covers cause damage?

    Doesn't look like it's for the 2024 models yet. And like Alcantara on the wheel.

    Recurrent: Model 3 drivers got 72% of EPA range with new cars, 64% after three years

    Why are you driving so slow? You trying to play the game where you say that not moving is the least efficient? EVs for a FACT are more efficient in the city rating more than the highway.

    Receiving ~200 miles of range on ‘23 base M3. Would COP help?

    You are correct. Your energy is used to cool down your car, not the drive itself. That is why the efficiency is so bad. Cabin overheat protection will NOT help, it will actually use more energy keeping the interior cool. The best way for you is to get some shades for the roof and when you get...

    Need a new tire on 2024 M3LR already - okay to get just one Michelin Primacy MXM4?

    He can get just a new tire. It's only 500 miles. However it should be the same model as the other 3 tires. Have them do the patch again. It could just be a bad job the first time. They can drill out the first patch and redo.

    Ambient lighting virtually non-existent

    I leave mine on and turn off ambient, that way it doesn't follow screen brightness. It's now bright all the time and I can see it in the daytime.

    Cat cracked my windshield and roof glass

    Wait, you're talking about jumping off the glass? That's even less energy than jumping on the glass from a high place.

    Cat cracked my windshield and roof glass

    a cat's feet is padded and they have 4 feet. The weight distributed is 2lbs. 2lbs is not enough to crack anything.

    Model 3 Battery Replacement

    Like JJ said technically, the battery area should be the same size so it SHOULD be able to fit the LR battery in there. However I doubt Tesla will do that even if you offer to pay.

    2024 M3P bucket seat creaks

    Never tried press that spot but no creaks. I can try pressing that spot and see.

    Are there really air vents under the front seats in the Model 3 Highland?

    I can't attest to if the vent covers are for your car but the right picture shows the vent. Air comes out if you have the foot well air turned on.

    Goodyear EcoReady

    Might as well get the Hankooks Ion EVOs if you're thinking about the EcoReady. Watched the Tirerack review and it's just not good enough.

    People probably dragging with it in track mode... That actually slows it down. Leave it in insane and sports suspension. Turn off track mode.

    Request for a 2024 Stealth M3P?

    You were doing a poll, I thought you worked for Tesla.

    Used '21 M3 Standard Range+ w/ 26k miles or '22 M3 Long Range w/ 49k miles?

    LR. 20,000 more miles is nothing. The LR has so many more stuff.

    Request for a 2024 Stealth M3P?

    Why, do you work for Tesla? Most people in the waiting room wanted the option of a 19" non-staggered setup. I don't mind a summer tire because I have a set of winters that I switch to.

    Cabin overheat protection question

    I don't know why they have the temperature setting now? It used to be just On or Fan Only or Off. Anyway it's actually useless. 116 degrees is not really that hot for a car interior. Nothing is going to melt or anything so having Cabin Overheat Protection just keeps your var awake and drains...

    Buying high mileage used 2021 Tesla M3 Dual Motor LR?

    As with every used car you buy. I don't know about the UK but in the US there are some companies that sell aftermarket warranties.

    Do the 24 M3P rear seats fold flat?

    Yes. Flat like all the other models with a slight tilt up.

    Buying high mileage used 2021 Tesla M3 Dual Motor LR?

    Battery failures usually happen fast, like within the first year. If it makes it past the first year, and it wasn't abused, it should last 300,000 miles. Obviously you get outliers so don't judge all batteries from one video.

    Auto wipers no longer mandatory when using AP?

    That's normal... it's been like that for a long time. It used to not let you turn it off during the autopilot drive, now it does.

    Auto wipers no longer mandatory when using AP?

    I used this yesterday. If you do autopilot or FSD, it will switch it to Auto, however you can set it to off and it will stay off.

    Tesla software update bricked my car

    1. If it was really bricked then you need it towed to a service center. Contact Tesla roadside assistance. 2. There has never been a "mandatory update". Some cars has never gotten a update since like 2019. 3. If your car goes in to service via a tow, it usually doesn't take days to have them...

    Insane Mode- All the time?

    It does not say not to leave it in insane mode... All leaving it in insane mode will do it lower range in cold temperatures cause it might be heating up the battery for no reason.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I had two surprises coming from the 2020. One is that the navigation voice changed. Must have changed sometime between 2020 and now but that was a surprise. Two, the heavy steering setting the the performance is HEAVY. It use heavy in my 2020 and this is heavier. It's better than my 2020 in...

    OK. Today was my big day... Went to pick up my car at 10 am. UR/Black. 4/23. Went to Verona, NY at the casino to pick up my car. Now a few days ago, someone posted on Reddit and reposted here about their pickup at Verona and their car had bad paint, pollen on it, etc, etc. I was nervous after...

    I don't think so. You still have traction control and other stuff. The Track mode in the performance allows all that stuff to be turned off.

    Plug in J1772 adapter first -- or connect adapter to charger first?

    I 100% know, that the car knows, that a plug is plugged in but is dead because it has happened to me. One of the chargers died at work, I normally just plug in and walk away. My app told me that a plug is plugged in but not providing power warning message to me.
