Did you reach out to them and ask?

Looks nice. I wrapped my consoles flat white (interior match) at delivery because I cannot stand the piano black. If the vinyl ever wears I plan to install ABS plastic covers.

I always have a need to use the brakes due to panic stop, not making a traffic light, emergency last second turn, etc... so I'm not worried about lack of use. I end up using the brakes 1-2 times per month. This will help keep the rotors clean from corrosion and the slides working. Now, I do not...

What times of the day is it charging? Page 184/185: https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/model_3_owners_manual_north_america_en.pdf

:rolleyes:

Per the manual: yes leave it plugged in whenever possible.

Great write-up. Everyone reporting/inquiring about degradation/range/etc... needs to read your statement: "I see my max battery capacity fluctuate far more due to Tesla making software tweaks on updates than actual degradation, but I’m going to say it’s probably in the 7% range at 120k" I...

Indeed it is beautiful.... I'm never leaving! :cool:

Gen 3 I assume? Not willing to ship?

I look at the parking sensor lines on car icon. Helps a lot with since it provides distance from objects in inches.

Had this issue a few months back but it was resolved 2 software updates ago.

Yes. Few threads here about them.

A friend of mine works for Rivian and advised there is an exterior redesign/refresh after initial model year.

Premium sound is very great for the $. I have Burmester in a Porsche and while it is superior - it's also a $3K+ option.

That's most likely it. If/when the 3 sees new improved battery packs it's going to implemented this year.

Release notes will inform you specifics.

Agreed. A lot of work just to change the turn signal color. Not worth it for me especially when under warranty. Anyone here car about the turn signal color/function? Amber DRL - no thanks.

My 2020 had them. Ditched them for the AWESOME must have SUMA convex mirrors.

This is more evidence that the issue is most likely with the CV joints. Too bad cause my LF axle replacement did nothing to eliminate the problem. (As far as I can hear the RF is not making noise)

There are some spaces on the far end/west side of Target that could work for SC parking. I always park there when I go to that Target since it's never crowded with lots of vehicles - even during season.

Click/clunk upon initial turning of the steering wheel when backing out or pulling into a parking spot. Same occurs for driveway entry when initially making the turn into driveway. Definitely front of the car - sounds like it's inside the steering rack. No clunks over washboard and/or rough...

310-320 @ 100% SOC. Are you talking about wh/mi? If so, ~245 lifetime.

10K miles. 19" OEM wheels.

According to the owners manual long-term storage procedure is to leave it plugged in and at 50% SOC. Do you have a 110V outlet you can use? Extension cords will suffice, I use a Camco RV extension cord at one of my properties when needed.

Yep. Had this on my 2019 a couple months after delivery. Mobile tech glued it. (warranty)

#1: Correct. As I have said in 2 threads now - do not use recirc mode. I have never had A/C smell in all my Teslas. I never use RECIRC. #2: Good tip but I have never turned the A/C off when approaching my destination. System stays on AUTO always.

Why not use the phone dock? Works great for me.

Tentative opening date of 9/21.

I am getting a similar noise from my 2020 Model 3. It sounds like an issue with the steering rack or something related. Started at ~10K on that car.

I am experiencing this noise as well. I do NOT hear it when driving over bumps only when turning rapidly backing out of/pulling into parking spots and garage. It's going to a SC in the near future once they open near me.

FWIW: Tesla replaced the LF axle shaft in my 2020 in June and that did NOT solve the clicking issue. It's going back in once the new SC opens near me. I'm experiencing slight click/clunk when turning wheel during back in/back out situations as well - maybe related?

Stick with BOSCH (OE?) blades. BOSCH P/N: 3397014116 I also reside in Florida and so I'm replacing blades every ~6 months. BOSCH are wonderful, exact OE match (if you care), and have zero chatter.

Definitely not skimp. Premium is legit.

Great post. Way too many threads here on this subject. Just RTFM, charge, enjoy. I could never be like those people that obsess over each mile or range gained/lost, over analyse charts/reports, etc.... Unless you have S60 with battery issues - just get out and drive!

Nice click-bait title. Thanks for your service and enjoy that Tesla in good health. :cool:

I have Eibach Pro-kit on my long-range 3. No inner tire wear issues. I had an alignment post install and since the car is not slammed you'll be able to get the toe within street spec. Anything lower than Eibach/H&R you'll need adjustable rear arms to get a street alignment.

PPF is best. If not, there's this: Bumper Bully - Outdoor Parking Bumper Protector, Bumper Protection, Rear Bumper Guard

+2. It's not great compared to other vehicles in my stable. Apparently the paint issues are being addressed for the Berlin factory.

Considered wheel bands?

NJ roads certainly are not helping the situation.

Interesting. I use the OE Tesla USB-lighting cable on the phone dock and my iPhone charges REALLY fast. Never any issues. Both Model 3 have standard USB - not the new USB-C.

In front of the left front wheel behind the wheel liner.

Yes I have the issue but not nearly as loud as yours. Tesla did the axle lubing at ~6K miles but that didn't remedy the issue. LF axle shaft replacement in June this year but that didn't solve the problem either. I am experiencing the clicking-from-stop and slight clicking/clunk when backing out...

No.

Good to hear - it's just so rough being in that location. Traffic is a nightmare and even worse during season! Positive note: it's very close to my office.

Don't use RECIRC mode. 3 Teslas, tons of mileage, OE cabin filters, no smell EVER. (hot/humid climate)

Tow mode.

I'm very confident and it greatly helps on the long highway trips I take quite frequently. It's very consistent for me and keeping 1 hand resting on the wheel works well and completely rids the warning from popping up. There's always the cheater "weight" ;) .... but annoying to have something on...

It has been and a search here will provide insight. Myself and others here have on ongoing issue with axle clicking. I am experiencing a faint click/clunk coming from what seems to be the steering rack, happening when turning the steering wheel backing out or pulling into small spaces. Those...
