    Review: Unplugged Performance Moderate Springs

    I was elated when I ordered the @UnpluggedP Moderate (1.5" drop) springs. How could I not be? Close the gap, smooth out the bumps and lean into the corners? Then I started reading the mixed reviews, some people loved them. Some hated them. Some bottomed out, some hit the bump stops. I was...

    HELP! RPMTesla Carbon Fiber Mirror Caps

    Urgent question for anyone that has these installed. I just installed the matte Carbon Fiber mirror caps from RPMTesla last night. Today, I notice I can't connect to my car over cellular while it's in the parking lot at work. An area where the car typically only gets 2 bars. Does anyone else...

    Long hold functionality change

    Okay, am I crazy? In the past, a long hold on the to the left or the right on the left thumbwheel would scrub through the track you're listening to. Now it seems it will cycle through inputs and favorites. At firs,t I thought this was a bug. Now I kind of like the change because you don't have...

    Autopilot Functionality Suggestion

    I have a love/hate relationship with Navigate on Autopilot. When it works it's impressive. When it doesn't, it's downright scary. It's exciting to see additional changes update after update such as allowing you to delay a lane change (hoping this means confirmationless changes coming soon!) But...

    Meanwhile... Yay for correct heated seats

    While everyone's still complaining about the price roller coaster, can we take a moment to appreciate that they finally fixed the firmware and mobile app to stop activating all the heated seats when pre-conditioning the car? :-)

    The washer fluid dribble

    Does anyone else have issues with their left (top) washer jet? The right side for me comes out as a full stream. The left side is always just a little dribble. Then the left blade scrapes and chatters against the window. This can't be how it's designed, could it? My SC said they saw it working...

    Should I just go with the coilovers

    I've read, I've searched, I can't find a clear answer. I ordered a set of Unplugged Performance Dual Rate Lowering Springs (Moderate). I have them set to go on my car in the middle of February, but I'm having second thoughts. After reading countless posts, I can't see how just changing the...

    Reliable Boston Area Shop to install springs?

    Hey fellow New-Englanders. I just ordered a set of Unplugged Performance Dual Rate Lowering Springs for my 3. Can't wait to get them on, but the million dollar question is, where is a good/reliable/trustworthy shop to get the work done? I'm wary of chains because when I brought my Audi S3 with...

    Blind Spot Monitoring Standard on all AP 2.0+ cars

    From Discover Software Version 9.0 I really like to give Tesla the benefit of the doubt as much as I can. But requiring FSD for blind spot money feels like a pure money play. And if I were a betting man I would say that when when Navigate on Autopilot finally does hit, it too will be an...

    Blue 3 Mass Pike East 9/7 around 9 am

    Hey, not sure if you're on here but we were both traveling between Framingham and 95 yesterday (I was red you were blue). I just wanted you to know that your driver's side headlight accent light was significantly dimmer than your passenger's side. It may not be something you see regularly so I...

    Loose Steering Wheel Emblem

    Does anyone else's chrome T on their steering wheel wiggle? Mine sticks out a little bit at the bottom and has some give, not sure whether or not to raise it at my next visit. I feel like it's nit picky.

    Does anyone else's 3 whistle?

    Driving 30-70 with drivers side window down I get a constant whistle. Can't isolate from where but it sounds almost like the mirror. Am I alone on this? I wouldn't even know how they could address it.

    Is Xpel inside overkill?

    I'm bringing my 3 to get OptiCoat next week and I asked the detailer about doing Xpel for the center console since its a fingerprint and scratch magnet. They quoted me $200 and said they use a four piece kit that takes care of the cupholders, storage, phone cover and screen. I tentatively...

    Temp mounting Front Plate

    Has anyone figured out a way to temporarily mount the front license plate? I need to go get my car inspected by the state. I don't want to run with it, but they use cameras during the inspection so I need to make sure its there. The delivery specialist recommended just using the adhesive and...

    Mind the Gaps

    She's here! After two years and one month for good luck my Model 3 has arrived. And just in time, my trade-in's registration expires tonight at midnight. So they rushed to make sure I got everything ready. Of course they called me two hours before to say that the car wouldn't take a firmware...

    Tranes, no planes and automobiles

    Finally spoke with my ISA and was informed that my car is at the rail yard and that my delivery will be first week of May. Ordered 4/10. VIN 4/11: 182XX I'm hoping its before that but glad to hear there's progress. I only wish there was a way to track the train's progress like I used to be able...

    They do exist

    I know Californians have seen these on the road for months but it's a rare sighting here in Massachusetts. Saw my first in motion Model 3 on the Mass Pike headed West tonight Red with Aeros. I've seen them on the lots at Dedham and at the Pru but seeing it driving was pure excitement. I gave the...

    Tesla Energy (Solar City) Solar Price Matching

    I was really excited for Tesla to come out and give me a quote on going solar for my new house. We explored a bunch of options but had sticker shock when the initial estimate came back at $4.30 per Watt (I live in MA). The salesman said that I should get a few quotes and they'd match the lowest...

    How Virtual Cockpit Made Me Ignore The Speedometer

    Brought my S3 in for service today and wound up in a '17 A3 with Audi's "Virtual Cockpit" which is replaces in the instrument cluster with a virtual set. "Cool!" I said as I sat behind the wheel. Within 5 minutes I thought the whole concept was lunacy. There was information overload in front of...

    A different idea for limiting SC

    Long time lurker, first time poster. I was thinking about the limits being placed on Supercharging. Totally makes sense to reduce congestion, but I feel like the wrong metric is being used. Providing 400kwh / year (1,000 miles) may be generous, but that may really only be one or two trips. For...
