    What is a "panic event"? [in sentry mode]

    Except if the person who breaks the glass takes storage device with them. That's probably the biggest reason for this change.

    New Uberturbine wheels coming to Model 3

    Theoretical benefits: Measure more things (like temperature) Get rid of RFID in the car Ummm.... I don't have a good imagination. I'm guessing they wouldn't change this entire setup unless there's a potential benefit, doesn't seem like something they will make tons of money from, so it's either...

    TM3P P Zero tires, what to expect?

    I'll try to find someone who wants to buy the uberturbines. I'll trade them for 19" wheels with michelin tires. Somebody probably wants them for winter so they have matching summer/winter

    TM3P P Zero tires, what to expect?

    A buggerit. Wonder what I should get instead. Which configurations would work the best on the uberturbines? Do I need 245 to prevent stretching the tire?

    Sentry mode notification bug?

    Never seen it, so I would guess bug

    Has Tesla ever explained the emergency door handle design choice?

    They wanted to be different when they designed it, and they don't want to spend money changing it. Funny post though, hit the nail on the head.

    OK... it's official

    My insurance is 2.7% of the cars value annually. Or $1768 if you will. It will go up if I drive more than 10k miles per year. I have the maximum bonus, friends&family discount as well as a membership and "group discount" Registration is $342

    Turns out I was wrong. My 2020 TM3P and the 2021 TM3P both have CH15, so doesn't seem like there CH06 is from "the olden days" :(

    Worth to upgrade from 2019 SR+ to the 2021 SR+?

    yada-yada-everything in the world is subjective-yada. Now that's finished: No, not worth it. I would rather buy a used LR (or even better, Stealth) for the same money as a new SR+ Better range AWD The biggest depreciation has already happened. Heated rear seats faster (if you care about that)...

    Top Tips

    1) This depends on how much effort you want to make. PPF means less effort to keep the car clean and check for scrapes and such. If you like to spend time cleaning and taking care of your care then you're golden. Black paint isn't metallic and is very fragile, so I would definitely do something...

    MPP comfort coilovers + hitch + speed bumps

    Anyone have experience with MPP coilovers, speedbumps and the tow hitch? How low can I go without having heart attacks when I see a speed bump? We have loads of them

    Adjustable vs Non-adjustable MPP Comfort Coilovers

    Hard to say, as it's very subjective. What I've heard from others is that the comfort coilovers are a bit more sporty than the default setup for the TM3P. @MountainPass can probably elaborate Personally I went with the non-adjustable ones.

    2020 FSD - Phantom braking - navigate on AP.

    It seems to vary, and how bad people think it is varies a lot as well. I've had 2 TM3, one was hw2 and the other hw3. The first one was extremely bad, I stopped using cruise control altogether. The second was much better, but that sudden jerk just leaves me shaky so I preferred not to use it. If...

    2020 FSD - Phantom braking - navigate on AP.

    The phantom braking makes for a horrifying driving experience, but I don't think it's as dangerous as people like to make it. The car slams the brakes out of nowhere, and it feels extremely awful, but you've usually stepped on the accelerator again before a full second has passed. The TM3 is, by...

    Plastic ABS center console with fiber pattern vs Real Carbon Fiber

    If we're talking about popularity, considering how many vehicles there are without CF it seems most disagree with you. People associate CF with high performance vehicles, so a lot of people want CF because of what it reminds them of or because it stands out, not because they find it...

    Standard, no point in adjustable on the family car. I fooled myself into thinking I would track it, but I came to my senses before delivery

    Yeah, I meant "Tesla's vegan leather", not faux leather in general. Should have been more explicit :)

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    I know, I really want to switch from Blue to red, but fiancé really dislikes the red and color isn't that important to me. I would switch to anything except black (because non-metallic) if it meant faster delivery.
  29. Marius A

    Model 3: Pros and Cons

    That's just because the vegan leather doesn't breathe like real leather does. Nothing to worry about. It's actually better with the white interior, because it's softer and creases more than the black. I've had 2 TM3 (so far), white is definitely nicer to the touch and from a comfort perspective.

    Model 3: Pros and Cons

    According to Tesla I'm the only one who has reported this issue. It was escalated until they sent me the specifications with compounds and treatment materials used. Everything is rated safe, but of course people with pre-existing conditions have a lower tolerance, so that explains my situation.

    Ways to improve comfort without voiding warranty

    If something else goes wrong and it's because of your coilover setup then the warranty is voided for that issue. But yes, a lot of people think a lot of things void the warranty. I also heard from Tesla reps in Norway that changing to non-Tesla rims would affect your warranty, which is...

    Model 3: Pros and Cons

    The "vegan leather" can also cause contact dermatitis for some people (me being one of them). I have to wear thick pieces of clothing to prevent blisters and open sores to form when I'm in direct contact with it, like when I'm wearing a t-shirt (fabric is too thin so I get it over my back). I...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    In some European countries it's against the law to drive without winter tires during the winter weeks, so they have to deliver with winter tires or customers won't legally be able to drive off the lot.

    TM3P P Zero tires, what to expect?

    Tried finding a thread for this, but maybe I suck at searching. What can I expect with the new TM3P P Zero tires? I've had a TM3P for almost a year with the Michelin PS4S, and I thought those were really good. If I've understood correct the P-Zero are stretched because the new rims are 9"...

    Discussion of A/C use in cold weather

    My 2020 TM3P never supercharged above 60kW, 20 min preheat, 40% SOC, all other cars in the lot were charging at 120-150kW Tesla checked it 3 times, said nothing was wrong. However, I spent all of my 3000km referral charging on that car and never got above 60kW. Even tested a TMS I got as a...

    Talked to several people at delivery, sales and actual workers in Drammen. It's all the information I got that nobody contradicted. My sales rep is really honest about stuff that they just don't know and that she knows a lot of reps "state opinions as facts". I didn't ask about final delivery...

    For any Norwegians watching this thread. Ship with most of the TM3P is expected to arrive Drammen on December 14th, with deliveries starting 2 days after arrival. They process cars in the order they're unloaded, so picking from existing inventory today you might get a car before somebody who...

    Does It Seem Like Everyone Wants To Race You?

    Over here most people assume you're an a-hole if you drive a Tesla. Which makes some people drive really aggressive around you, and some stop driving efficiently because they assume you're going to drive egocentric. I tend to always let 1 car in front of me in every roundabout and intersection...
