First of all, all-season is NOT a snow tire. Second of all, what in the world is Nankang @#$^? The single most import thing about a winter tire set is the rubber that connects you to the road. The worst thing to economize on is a quality tire. Cheapo A/S tires defeat the purpose of getting a...

Honestly the coldest day we have had so far was 44º F so nothing there. My driving efficiency has dropped from 87% to 80% on stats, but that could be because of the drop in temp. - at $300 for the set they will not crack and explode in the cold and cost almost the same price as one OEM...

Honestly we need a dedicated thread for aftermarket wheels especially for the P3D+. Mine got moved to winter driving and was buried. I got the following from discount tire - mounted, TPMS, balanced, and shipped for just under $1100 (plus a $45 discount on a tire price match with WalMart)...

Its only useful if you are going to Mars or at least pretending to.

I found a set of wheels and tires for winter sticking to my goal of around $1000. I didn’t want 20” wheels, but I also didn’t want spacers and few wheel resellers could guarantee clearance of the brakes. Since they will only be on 3 - 4 months, they should be fine.

I am checking to see if they will fit a Performance M3+. They are Axis wheels - what version?

Any one use the Axis MS wheels on a P3D+? If they weren’t for the winter, I would get the staggered set.

They are still a little on the high price end and appear to be hard to come by. I was shooting for $600 - $800 for the set + lugs and TPMS

Yeah but $1200 is a bit much for winter only wheels. If I was going to upgrade and keep them on I would go with them, but I want something that I will not care about getting damaged or being exposed to salt and calcium chloride.

Model year depreciation is usually a combination of mileage and year. If you do not put many miles on a car then it is best to buy at the beginning of the year. In turn, if you are a high mileage person, then buying at the end of the year is your best bet. If you keep the car for more then 6...

Any recommendations for a cheap winter wheel for the Performance 3? It’s seems to be a big unknown with wheel vendors when I ask if they will fit a Performance Model 3. Most want me to buy one and test fit, then send it back if it doesn’t work. I am just looking for an inexpensive set that...

Did the wheels that come on the Performance 3 change from silver to black/gray?

yes - both sides

+1 on the Ceramic Coat and Baby Wipes

Baby Wipes work fine for me. I haven’t found anything they won’t wipe off the seats. Warm water, mild soap that is white and a microfiber towel is a good second choice when you are at home. I was worried bleach may yellow over time (no proof just an assumption) and magic erasers are super...

I know this is not directly helpful, but if you want a Model 3 then see if Tesla will take it on a trade, it may be your best way to get the most money for it. Supercharging is useless if the car doesn’t work correctly.

I have zero experience with the San Disk version - The Samsung ones are bulletproof.

I run a technology department - buy this. I won’t even place a link so everyone will know I am not marketing or making money off of it. :) You WILL need to format it for exFat since NTFS is the norm.

I have a friend that has a 2016 Mustang with the same gap - its frameless windows. The windows on a Mustang also go down when you open the door. It’s a strange but valid question if you haven’t seen frameless windows before. I will say if the windows were any larger, they would hit when you...

Why stop there .. Paint Protection Film Pre-Cut Kits You can do the whole car :)

Mine works just fine with exFat - I have a month of videos to prove it and still have 140 GB free. I have a newer P3D+ so maybe that’s the difference. Either way it does work on mine. I was not able to get a SSD to work formatted in exFat. For those who want to watch the videos on their...

It’s a good deal since they are $330 per tire on TireRack - I wish I could justify buying them.

I am CIO and have used flash memory for lots of things. High Endurance memory is good if you are consistently writing and deleting. For this application, the larger drive makes more sense since the cycles will be less in between the write/ rewrite process. I have a Samsung 256GB 3.1 flash...

I have a dedicated Gen-1 40 Amp Tesla charger that I usually do not unplug. The cover, box and breaker is rated for outside as well as the GEN-1 mobile charger. Yes you can place everything in a enclosure but the boxes are big and not needed but if you have the room and don't care about the...

No one needs the Performance version, but I got one since I test drove one and didn't want to be disappointed later with the LR version. Also, there is something about knowing you are one of the fastest cars on the road, you just need to watch out for the P100D. The Performance 3 has been...

I had a 48' run from the electrical box to the 14-50 outlet. You can run all the same color THHN if you ID them with colored electrical tape at the end, I happen to find 3 color wire for a good price. You can possibly run 8 gauge wire as well in conduit, but you will be limited to 50 amps in...

I could not justify a $500 Tesla Wall Connector that can only provide 8 more amps (48 total) for $300 more. With that being said, I wired it so I can switch to at Wall Connector if I want to later. If you are putting in a 50 amp outlet go with 4/4 ROMEX or 6 gauge THHN in conduit (depending on...

I ran 50’ of three 6 gauge THHN wires and a 8 gauge ground a in metal flex to a NEMA 14-50 outlet with a 50 amp GFIC breaker on the electrical panel. I purchased a Gen-1 40 amp charger on eBay for $200 and the wire, breaker, flex, box and outlet were about $250. So all in $450

This is all a little crazy. On the list of "things" this is something you hardly notice going backwards and do not notice going forwards. Anything can be unplugged if you really care which it 10X easier than applying vinyl all over your car, people are making this into something that its not...

Update is here ... :)

Well I hate being part of the 30% that is still waiting .. but maybe tonight?

Narrow is better in snow, it will cause the tire to wear more on the center though.

I am part of the 30% that’s still waiting. That “Advanced” button is a false promise.

I was told the same thing. Then I called back and they said they would need to check on it since it would need approval. Bait and switch ... maybe. I figure I would worry about it in mid October since that’s what I was told, currently I have an expired credit card in the system anyway, so no...

Objectively it’s the LR Rear Wheel Drive one if I was practical. But since I am not, the P3D+ is since it has track mode and it’s in my driveway. As for color: Red seems to suit the car the best, although Pearl White is a close second. So... a Red LR Rear Wheel Drive for the practical person.

Tips for Dealing with Obsessions Ask yourself, “What am I feeling?” and wait patiently until you know. Learn to meditate to quiet your mind. Do slow movement to evocative music, and allow yourself to feel. Write about your feelings (ideally with your non-dominant hand) and read it to someone.

Nothing as started downloading, just the alert. I have a 2019 P3D+ with AP.

Just got the alert on the app in the inbox that V10 is on its way.

It’s frustrating.. but everything is correctable. Remember most cars have issues when they arrive at the dealer, Tesla just deals with it a little differently and even that can be different from one delivery location to another. This doesn’t change the value of the car or make it any less...

I will first start by saying, I have read almost every post on here since March 2019 and watched most YouTube videos on the Model 3. I was so apprehensive about buying one that I could not do a custom order in fear of the stories that have been posted on here and the buzz everywhere else. My...

2011 Volvo C30 RDesign

The “free” things are incentives to order. They are doing a 3rd quarter push for sales numbers. I have been on the fence about ordering and my SA called and told me that he didn’t have the exact car I wanted, but would not charge me for anything that wasn’t on my list - which just happened to...
