    Acceleration Boost Not Available (Aus)

    I thought 2021 models came without chrome and had Uberturbine wheels?? Yours looks like a 2020 model to me...so you bought this brand new from Tesla? Re the boost you must ensure your car is running 2019.40.2 as a minimum although I am sure you would have an update later than that! Something...

    Garage door opener alternatives

    I use Apple Homekit and a $50 Best Buy Insignia wifi module connected to my garage door opener. I can open/close based on proximity, use Siri , press button on my phone or use my original remote control! I can also open/close garage door when I am away (to let someone in for example). For $50 it...

    Will service replace old door open buttons

    I have the stickers and they are transparent. While they don't illuminate the entire sticker you can still see the outline of the vehicle with the door open, in the dark. You can hardly tell they are not OEM. $6 on Amazon! So far, everyone has opened the door correctly! Changing those pieces...

    Spare Tyre for Model 3

    You have the dimensions, brand etc. Any decent tire shop will get you what you need. Now, if you are looking for a Model 3 WHEEL as well then you should contact Tesla.

    How often does your M3P get rebooted? Disillusioned after 25 days.

    It's more to the fact that lots of Tesla owners are prepared to give the company time to sort out its issues. Its a relatively new company with issues it needs to sort out. It will and I am prepared to give them time to do that. My car has a couple of issues but then so did my Audi. I didnt...

    Average age of Model 3 owners?

    A local trader in Texas. Straight out the gate he offered $62k without knowing anything about it! When I told him the extras he upped the price to $65k. However, on inspection he would drop $1.5k as I have a crack in my windscreen, repaired but visible. I am not selling I just wanted to see what...

    Average age of Model 3 owners?

    56 now, bought my M3P at 54 with cash. I thought I would see what it is worth now and received a $65k offer! WOW!

    White Interior worth $2k or not?

    In Texas I would NEVER have a black car nor a black interior! Apart from that, the white just looks so much classier than the black IMO. 2 years in and no issues at all with white aluminum strip and the seats still look like brand new. Very happy I made the choice to go with white!

    On the fence

    I wont even consider another electric car brand until they have a supercharging system equal or better to Tesla...That is the biggest selling point for me over and above anything else.

    White Interior worth $2k or not?

    It will DEFINITELY keep the interior cooler! I've gone through 2 Texas summers and can attest to keeping interior much cooler than black!

    I'll keep my money on the pioneers, not those desperately playing catch up. BMW et al wouldn't even be looking at electric so hard if it wasn't for Tesla...

    Actually the best way to pick a wax is by reading reviews! Not any reviews mind you, but detailer sites.

    Long commute

    Life crushing commute you are talking about. 20+ hours per week in a car? Is there a major reason you are moving so far away from work? Not asking to know what that is but just cant fathom someone doing this for anything but a MAJOR reason! I used to do a commute of 85 miles each way for 2 years...

    All you need to do is a light touch on the rear car door handle (if car is locked and you have your phone close by) and it opens...no need to open app etc. If it was just as simple as pressing a button then people could remove the charger from your car!

    why no beep for backup sensor in Model 3? [rear cross traffic warning]

    Really? Your rear camera was fogged up and yet you just continued to reverse and let another person warn you of the danger by honking their horn? Why didnt you do what you have to do to actually pass a test...look behind you as you reverse??

    I think some people buy the black seats because they hide the dirt better! LOL

    White Interior worth $2k or not?

    It feels like beautiful cold steel, great in the hot summer months. Personally I have never liked wood interiors in cars except a black ash interior I had in an Audi once...because it didn't look like wood! Of course, this is all a matter of personal opinion as to what is better...

    White Interior worth $2k or not?

    White looks way more cool than black. Also MUCH better if you live in a hot climate. As for cleaning, well, I've had mine 2 years and it looks brand new. Not even the slightest stretch mark (can't say that for leather!). As for care, the seats get a a wipe down with a damp cloth every couple of...

    How's your experience of Model 3 viewing the speedometer?

    Yep, agree. I rarely touch the screen nowadays. Voice rec is the way to go. So easy.

    How's your experience of Model 3 viewing the speedometer?

    I love not having to peer down over a steering wheel to read the display. A quick millisecond glance to the right and bingo. All the info I need! Your eyes are off the road for the same time it takes to glance down as it does to glance right. HUD? No thanks, much more distracting!

    Tesla did the right thing. It doesn't take into consideration where you end up..ie if you have access to a charger at your destination. It does not know you are going to be driving around at your destination nor can it take that into consideration. It would have sent you the other charger on the...

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    My advice is to immediately stop worrying about it and enjoy your car. Seriously. The number will go all over the place. At 80% charge I get 208 miles. When I got my car 2 years ago it would be 248 miles. I've driven 13k miles. I care not one jot as those 13k miles have been fun, fun, fun and I...
