    Charging and model 3

    The outlet for your dryer is NOT designed for a high cycle count. (Plug/Unplug events) If you are planning to unplug the dryer, plug in the car, charge the car, unplug the car, and then plug in the dryer every day you will eventually wear out the outlet. I'm not saying not to do it, but be...

    For owners of the 3. How many miles do you currently have? (and how many problems?)

    Jason I can open the charge port via the button on the user interface in the car, so it’s not a crippling problem. The FM tuner problem was a known issue with a few cars. Symptom is that the frequency is “stuck” on 102.1 - if I choose one of the other stations available from the user...

    For owners of the 3. How many miles do you currently have? (and how many problems?)

    I got an infinity G70 as a loaner. I was told it’s just luck of the draw. Nice car, but it has a zillion buttons all over the place. Guess I’m getting used to the 3.

    For owners of the 3. How many miles do you currently have? (and how many problems?)

    1400 miles Annoying issues that I’m hoping will get fixed via updates: Phone key unreliable. Seems to not work when the weather is crappiest and I’m most n a hurry to get in. User Interface has to be rebooted several times per week Issues requiring service: FM radio won’t tune Charge port door...

    Front License Plate

    The car came with a stick on bracket in the trunk. I’m told the adhesive on the bracket is industrial strength so when it goes on, it’s not coming off easily. I’m wondering if some arrangement could be fashioned with some super strong magnet on the bracket and behind the fascia? Then it could...

    NJ Model 3 Sightings?

    Woo Hoo, finally picking up my (wife’s) 3 today in Springfield. It’s actually the one pictured above by JMAX. Was supposed to be here last week, but didn’t make it on a truck in time. I’m just bummed that it’s going to immediately get slimed with road salt. Oh well, at least I’ll get to see how...

    Clicking & Clunking while Parked

    On the locks panel under controls is a “walk up unlock” setting. Turn it off.

    Clicking & Clunking while Parked

    I believe you are hearing the high voltage contacters which I am told a very loud in the model 3 compared to the S and X. Whenever your phone is in range, the car will power up and make those clunks. I believe there is a setting that still uses your phone as the key but only powers up and...

    NJ Model 3 Sightings?

    Currently scheduled for 10:00am, but am told that the car might not get there until the 26th so may have to reschedule to give them time to prep it. Anxiously awaiting an update.

    NJ Model 3 Sightings?

    Configured a Midnight Silver Metallic w/19" wheels on 11/23. My son is transferring the reservation to me. (Actually it's going to be my wife's car - she's getting a big surprise for Xmas!) I've had another one on order for me since 3/31, but I'm gonna hold out for the all-wheel drive version...
