    Stock 19's All season Tires

    Why do you think so many people are buying a spare set of the factory 18 inch wheels and putting snow tires on them? Be glad you don’t have the 20s!

    Black or white model 3?

    Black cars look best! BUT only for about 1/2 hour after you fully detail them, after that short time every dust spec, paint imperfection, minor scratch etc etc etc will drive you crazy.

    Cold weather caused low temperature tire warning.

    Sorry meant low pressure not temp.

    Maxpider 3D trunk mat

    So is there any difference? Color? Weight? Smell? Obviously the 3D labels are less desirable.

    Payment before delivery

    I would STRONGLY suggest you not sign the paperwork or pay for the car until after you have had the chance to review it. I also see that you’re in NJ. I had a TERRIBLE attempted pick up experience at the Springfield NJ site. The car at Springfield was damaged, had been driven rather than...

    Manual Transmission / Stick Drivers

    My previous street car was an original Honda S2000. One of the best handling, shifting cars ever made ( 9K+ redline- stock! ). I’ve had it for 20 years because I enjoyed the driving experience. My Stealth is better in almost every driving respect and I’m now selling the S2000.

    M3P vs winter tires - in Boston, MASS

    In today’s environment you would probably be blamed for ANY accident you’re involved in if you’re using tires outside of their stated safety temperature range. It’s amazing how some people think it’s never their fault and you must be at fault.

    M3P- . What is it, how to order it, etc.

    My (July/2019) Stealth is white on white with 19s. Best car I’ve ever owned.

    Cold weather caused low temperature tire warning.

    FYI - I did expect to add air due to cold weather but I was surprised at the drastic difference due to the recent temperature drop. I thought I was at 42 and it apparently dropped to 36 overnight. Just seemed to be a large drop but obviously not a big deal. Thanks for the confirmation that it’s...

    Cold weather caused low temperature tire warning.

    I’m getting a low temperature warning on all 4 of my 19 Continental (OEM) tires this morning. The warning says they’re all at 36 first thing this morning. The temperature here did drop to 28* this morning but I’m surprised that the tires would all lose pressure because of the cold. Is this...

    What will be the new HP numbers for AWD and P after 12.4?

    A very important issue that most people seem to miss is that PEAK HP is an almost worthless indication of real performance. Actual performance is based on the amount of power available under the curve not just at the peak. Any number of people have rebuilt their ICE cars to obtain a high peak...

    Has anyone received the new announced V10 version with the improved performance? Which version is it? Thanks

    Compatible Garage Door Openers?

    I’m looking to buy two new garage door openers and wanted to make sure they will be compatible with the Tesla system. Can anyone suggest a suitable high quality brand/model? Any brands / models that have known issues with Tesla systems? Thanks Edit - I’m also trying to make sure it will work...

    used stealth performance is available apparently

    They’re both officially Performance cars. My order was offcially placed as a Performance car. Tesla luckily had a few at that time (July 2019) that didn’t have the options that were basically useless to me and knocked off a significant amount of money. There is a LOT of misinformation...

    Can I take a car from another service center?

    I personally would never use the Springfield location. They actually lied to me about many issues including the reason the car had extra miles on it, the defects, etc etc. They greatly prefer you to pay for the car before even seeing it. Please note that when I showed up for delivery, all of...

    Can I take a car from another service center?

    I’d strongly suggest you make sure that the car is actually be trailered to the site. I had a bad experience with the Springfield NJ site using their employees to move cars from out of state as a cost saving measure. The car had numerous issues and I had to refuse it. Luckily I was able to get...

    Sentry mode - Use an old phone as USB drive

    Thanks - My issue is that I’ve always used Apple phones so actually don’t have any Android phones. I was asking so that I could look for a suitable Android from friends etc.

    Can you buy cash first, then finance after?

    Actually it is possible to pay cash for a new car and then finance it with most local banks/credit unions not Tesla. Check with your bank to see what restrictions they have on mileage or time. This is not through Tesla obviously but my credit union’s offered fees that were actually less than Tesla.

    Anyone still rocking a Pi Zero W smart drive for TeslaCam on Sentry Mode?

    There was a previous thread about using an old phone to accomplish a wireless solution. I looked but can’t find it now. It might even be very helpful with V10 to view sentry on the Tesla screen. Thoughts?

    Actual length of cable on Wall Connector with 14 50 plug?

    Thanks! I was curious about the WC with the 14-50. The extra 4 foot provides more options in my situation.

    That’s what the Law Enforcement thinks too when they see an “Arrest me Red” car.

    PD3- VS PD3+ Speed/Performance

    . LOL - Hope you meant that to be sarcastic. There is no difference in top speed, difference in cornering is due to tires, and efficiency is lower on the P3D+ due to extra weight.

    White front badge vs no badge

    I left mine off on my white Stealth and glad I did. If you have a Performance version no one is going to see your front badge anyway.

    ? Front Emblem after PPF - Reinstall, Replace, or Leave Off?

    After hearing input from forum members and seeing it rebadged I ended up leaving it off. I do think it looks different / better without it. Thanks for the quick assistance. PS - I received my original emblem back, cleaned, coated, and with new tape installed. It was luckily also a metal...

    ? Front Emblem after PPF - Reinstall, Replace, or Leave Off?

    My white Stealth is being wrapped today and I need to make a decision on the front emblem status after the PPF install. I was surprised to hear from the detailer that Tesla has replaced some or all of the original metal T front emblems with a cheaper plastic version. He suggested that if my...

    Model 3 paint wearing off

    NQva - Hello - three people reported paint issues? Unfortunately it’s a LOT more common issue than you think. If owners don’t bother holding Tesla accountable for their lack of QA then we will reduce the chance of them actually correcting the problem.

    Model 3 paint wearing off

    “Silly” in my opinion is better used to describe a car manufacturer repeatedly not properly painting bumpers, door jambs, rockers, trunk hinge areas, etc. “Silly” is Tesla obviously not having a proper final QA inspection procedure. “Silly” could also be used to describe the “fanboy” approach...

    Your own “top experts” didn’t agree on information or the proper methods to possibly avoid problems. They did all agree however that cars get rock chips, (lots of rock chips) and it’s probably better to spend more money with them.

    Issues with an inventory P3D

    Most (not all) of the white bumpers don’t match the body color well due to the different materials used. Take a look at a few photos and you’ll see it.

    Discussion: Floor Mats in Model 3

    There is a new Tesla accident report today. Initial reports indicate that the accident happened while auto parking due to a floor mat getting stuck on the accelerator pedal. Simple cosmetic changes can sometimes cause dramatic unexpected results. Let’s all be careful with the changes we make.

    M3P- . What is it, how to order it, etc.

    Rontheman - Sorry if my post about checking the number caused any paranoia. It was actually meant to ease your concerns. If the 980 is there you should be ok if it’s 990 your car would be the first performance car found with that number. I also noticed that you are in the UK and stated that...
