Separate names with a comma.
There are some variables here that the disapprovers can't seem to grasp. First of all, it appears that different cars require more or less torque...
2018, after 150 mile drive. No wraps, no tints, no ceramic, never garaged. ONR/w anyone? [ATTACH]
Our Model 3 is roughly the same inside as our 2007 Honda Accord LX, except that the Honda is more cocooning, while the Tesla offers something very...
This sure looks like an afterthought in the design. I wonder how they've improved that of late. And if it's even needed. Their position that if it...
This doesn't make any sense. Who is joking here? Are they saying that part of the car's undercarriage dissolves or falls apart if the car is...
In many ways it's an American thing. Not too bad here, but it's part of the masochism and guilt that Americans emanate so much of. It would be...
I've had both trunk and frunk struts upgraded, and a lighter spring on the frunk latch, with no problems in 2 years. You should always gently use...
What are "runflats"?
Nice. Did you have the tint done? How far does it reach up in the back? How much did it cost?
I always do a pre-flight walk-around and wipe the cameras/glass first thing in the morning. I have never had unexplainable "phantom" braking in...
@jessca My guess would be Tesla will cover it under warranty as a stress crack. Just tell them like it is, that it appeared out of nowhere.
Not to worry you, but this is a huge rabbit hole subject. Between wear, handling, braking, quietness, efficiency, there are SO many variables....
FWIW, no. My late 2018 Model 3 was and is perfect. The day after I'd ordered it evening of 12/27/2018 they did all the loan and paperwork, then,...
Ok, a dozen 12 volt batteries on forum W, another dozen on forums X, Y and Z, out of, what, 700,000 model 3s? That's POS territory? What's the...
Of course it's not typical, and the OP is entitled to a detailed explanation. FWIW, Having designed DC motor drives, one likely way for them to...
"2 drive failures in 6000 miles is terrible, how is that reliable?" Very simple. THAT car has had one specific problem twice. That's not very...
So much drama! The car needed service and the poor guy is being told it's a POS, and cranked up in his anxieties. It's not a POS, it's a very...
Those masked raccoons can do a lot of damage. Count your blessings. Any chance you could face the car the other way and not have to disable...
Wait a minute, @cwerdna. I'm an engineer. The 12 volt battery problems you reference have nothing to do with the drive motor. There have been some...
Oh, @cwerdna , report it? what's the point? Something in the drive unit failed, it's uncommon, chit happens. Noise is a symptom not a cause. They...
What did Elon say about the ID3 ? "not bad for a ... car". I forget the adjective. Oh, yeah. Not bad for a "non-sporty" car. Very diplomatic.
Good point, @Gauss Guzzler. I confess I stretched that rule getting the late 2018 Model 3 w/ EAP and adding FSD. But it's been such a great...
In the East Bay hills, it's like a hallucination, so many new Teslas. It seems it's all people are buying. Berkeley's Service Center's been very...
Extremely rare. Actually chance of 2nd unit going out is not affected by the odds of the first failing.
On the range issue, who wants to trundle even LONGER in a Leaf, I mean VW?
Not taking into account state and federal rebates, just car to car, I'd look for a used Model 3 LR with EAP or (better) FSD. A 150 mile commute...
What are these Bridgestones?
Sounds like in addition to less energy consumption, better lane centering and less nerves, riding on NOA/autopilot might save money on tires too LOL.
Recently I got a **New Improved** behavior. Same USB3 256gb unit I'd used for a long time. It came up with the Dashcam icon with a little grey...
It's kind of a dinky plastic mechanism. There are probably several different failure modes. There's very likely a couple of limit sensors in...
Wow, you can charge the car by just parking it under those transmission lines!
Hey, I got da blue LEDs too. There are so many sources, and even each batch is different. Say these were very bright, ice-blue, good for trunk...
One more in the Pro column: That inexplicable good feeling gliding down the road in a fast, attractive, powerful Tesla EV.
There are a lots of sub-factors, so you should take some test drives and take some time to decide, consider your budget. Most of the drivers who...
Have you considered importing a Citroen Ami ? Inexpensive ($6.5k), great in town, gets you from point A to point Z, and back. My friend in France...
Maybe add a little alcohol to the distilled water?
The cold is probably a cumulative thing, so anything you do in lining the bare metal should help some. That Basenor liner looks nice too.
With a loose fitting cover like the Bougies, there's probably enough air flow for occasional needs. But none of the covers solve the problem of...
16 days in an ICE car? I think you should hurry up with your case, before the details of your suffering get fuzzy in your mind, and you won't be...
The eye of the beholder. Look in the mirror, gasp, run down to the local Lipo & Patch. It's amazing what money can buy.
I'm finding my love for Nicki has changed a bit, with those fine scratches, that are visible to the demanding eye (I'm pretty sure), when the...
Whoa, dude, are you saying that leaving the car overnight, without the climate retain on, you were losing 10% of your battery? Meaning say you'd...
No, seriously, how were you losing 10-20%?? Did you have the cabin temp retain on?
We've all been pretty patient during this &^$#! pandemic. Well, most of us anyway, not counting the DC "tourists". But it's getting old. I WANT at...
I'm not sure how deep they go, I may have to use some of that black wax :( Or black shoe polish. Or borrow some spray paint from neighborhood...
We had insane winds in California, so bad they would shut off power for half a day at a time. Not sure exactly how it happened, but I just...
Wow, I have trouble enough clearing bumps and roadkill with my stock Model 3. Air suspension deals with that?
Well, since the leather on the older Model 3 steering wheel was comfortable, and mine sure is, then why not try a good leather cover for the newer...
But there's another angle. My 2018 MR RWD is a CLASSIC. It also happens not to differ significantly from a 2021. Win/win.
First of all, there is no "ready". It's a gradual development, and I claim it will never ever be "ready", ie. final/complete. The state of roads,...
