@Watts_Up I removed the subfloor, was able to load cooler. Will be a bit cumbersome when cooler is loaded. Confirmed 17.5 inch cooler height. Picture with cooler "stuck" is when subfloor in-place, prior to removing. Picture of loaded cooler with rear seat in "passenger" mode. @Ther0ck yup I...

My 17.5 inch tall (specs say 18") RTIC 52 cooler is about 1/2 too tall to fit in the Model 3 trunk opening. Based on printed specs, looks like the RTIC 45 would fit.

Did you use the kits from North Tints | Precut Window Tint | Precut PPF Kits or...? thanks

You're in the higher mileage subset with >40k miles on the stock tires. I had 24,500 with minimal hard acceleration events; all four tires were down to 2 - 3/32. I had a $1,200 quote from Tesla service center 4/2022 for stock Michelin tire replacement. Kinda interesting the cost variance...

I have a Covercraft UVS100 custom-fit sunscreen. Cost was around $80. Folds up and fits between trunk and trunk liner (Tesla/ WeatherTech). I also found a all-glass cover on Amazon, which I use when sleeping in the car. Have not tested for heat reduction. This item is out of stock, but I bet...

Yes....DIY tire rotation (easier than dumb oil change!) to balance out the torque wear on the rear tires. I rotate tires every 5k; takes 15 minutes at home with a decent floor jack and cordless impact wrench. Discount Tire = Tire Rack = Tires.com are the same company. If range (plus improving...

how about email her directly? [email protected] I am impressed over the amount of research you put into this effort. Unlike Ms. Wolfe.

Discount Tire had a $70 and $110 discount on Pirelli tires, including these, the week around Memorial holiday. Maybe again for July 4th...? But yeah, Michelin sale seems to be every month. I haven't seen any other discounts.

100% agree. I only have one 150 mile mountain drive on the Pirelli A/S Elect, so watt/mile consumption is "too soon to tell." But initial data shows similar or less w/m compared to OEM Michelin. Road dynamics are significantly better with the Pirellis.

Agree. Buttons, switches, and knobs....must be a German car. No thanks!

I had this repair done under warranty, so no info on cost. Here's the part numbers: ASY,HARN,GLASS 1068787- 00-E ASY, SECURITY CAMERA 1098383-00- G

I realize this thread is predominantly Taycan v Model S, but for USA drivers, I'd also consider Lucid Air. If "luxury performance" was my desired car, I would probably get a Lucid Air. Faster than Taycan (speed, charging, range), more 2nd row interior room than most cars. I was really looking...

Lane "centering" is an interesting problem to solve. I get a bit frustrated with FSD Beta driving either too close to parked cars on neighborhood/25 MPH streets, moving into the gutter for right turns (WTF!), and yes occasionally non-FSD Autopilot struggles with non-constant radius road curves...

@ColoDave is your delivery at the Aurora CO delivery/service/sales center or...? I'm certain a lot of locals would enjoy taking a look

Tire Rack now has the Pirelli available, if you don't have local tire shop availability. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Pirelli&tireModel=P+Zero+All+Season+Plus+Elect

I'm getting a set of Pirelli A/S Elect installed 6/10. Will update here with energy consumption, etc. once I get some miles on.

"2) People say M3P get worse range because it has a more aggressive rear motor..." Not the case. Early Model 3 LR AWD and Model 3P have the same exact rear motor-- 980 model. There are multiple threads on TMC talking about the various rear motors on the Model 3 variants. Hardware...

Tire specs at https://www.hankooktire.com/us/en/tire/kinergy/gt-h436.html 235/45R18 - (there are five listed, each with different "Material Code" All show Max Load(lbs.) 1477 Load Index 94 UTQG - Tread Wear 540 Material Code 1031546 --> Foam Y (so this is most likely what is on the Model 3)...

@akacaj Thanks for doing the calculations....very informative. If I were carrying 4 bikes, would use a vertical solution....doesn't extend back from the rear of the car as far. https://www.1up-usa.com/product/recon-rack/ https://yakima.com/products/hangover

Tongue weight = assumption of a trailer being used. Weight on tongue is supported by trailer wheels. Hitch rack = cantilevered load. Hence the note from 1UP: Note: For 2” Super Duty Double, with addition of two Add-Ons (sold separately), this rack can hold a maximum of four bikes when all...

If your bias is towards range, check out the Pirelli P Zero All Season Elect. If your bias is towards "all season" aka some snow, check out Michelin Cross Climate. If your bias is towards "performance all season" check out Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 Discount Tire in Salem, OR has/can...

Summer tire, 20 and 21 inch sizes only at this time.

Dang that sucks. Lots of threads here which discuss "diminished value" and how to add that to the insurance bill. I assume other driver is at fault and their insurance will cover the repair. Good to hear your car is already at Tesla approved body shop. And as others here will say, don't...

Thanks for that tip. From the Electrify America mobile app: Account > Payment > Use Your Phone as a Pass > Add to Apple Wallet

Hello from Colorado. Seems like WY front license plate law is similar to Colorado: front license plate be mounted horizontally on the front in the location designated by the manufacturer Well, the Model 3 and Model Y don't have a "location designated by the manufacturer" which can...

@roblab who connected the panels to the grid? I could do panel install and low-voltage cabling. Connecting to grid...seems a big step. thanks

Yes....My Model 3 alarm activated from a thunderstorm, and from loud exhaust system on ICEmobile doing a "rumble-athon" drive thru a parking garage. Vibration-triggered alarm.

FYI - Discount Tire is having a sale thru 5/26 on Michelin (frequent $110 off sales occur) as well as Pirelli ($70 off - first time I've seen in at least six months). Other tire brands (Continental, $70 off) are on sale as well.

From those 1.21 gigawatts of power!

I'm going to try the Pirelli P ZERO All Season Plus ELECT. Has noise-canceling foam, 50k treadwear, designed for EVs. Probably similar ride characteristics as the OEM Michelins. A more performance oriented tire: Michelin Pilot Sport All Season.

PM sent. thanks

Chademo could be worth peace of mind, and then sell after the trip. Tesla CCS Combo 1 Adapter & CHAdeMO Adapter Plan on 10 days from order to delivery

Tesla has a new service, sales, and delivery center off i70/ Peoria ST in east Denver. Opened early May 2022.

Confirmed. I've used it before, when I deliberately arraigned a business meeting to occur at The Golden Hotel, specifically because of the destination charger. Ask the front desk to activate it for your use. There are also multiple locations for City of Golden free public chargers close by...

I might be interested in this project. Will send you a DM.

I was at the Littleton CO service center 5/17, walk-in parts order for my Model 3, and saw a technician parking a silver colored Roadster (#800-ish). I casually asked him about white Roadster #1112. It was--and still is--in for service. Parts recently arrived, and it should be back on the road...

I'm tempted to take my Starlink hardware with me on upcoming "boondocks" off-grid camping trip, so I can connect to YouTube and watch. Pretty cool now that Starlink offers portability on a month-to-month basis.

Thanks for this info; I find useful, as I'm considering a refresh Model S. Looked at a 4/2022 build date, appearance was impeccable.

DM me with your mailing address, I will get an estimate. Likely will use UPS, possibly DHL, if I can figure out their website for non-commercial accounts. Thanks

I would contact your service advisor--again--and ask they re-evaluate. I had my 10/2018 in for interior camera fault recently. Windshield wiring harness was replaced (Feb). Driving home from service visit #1, issue continued to be present. On follow-up visit, wiring harness was again...

@mr-dmitry is your car scheduled for service?

For my dad to be able to do off-grid camping (7 day whitewater river trip) his set-up is a Goal Zero 500 battery, Goal Zero folding solar panel, and Philips 12v DC power supply (links below). The battery would power the CPAP for 2-3 nights with humidifier, before needing solar recharge. If your...

@mr-dmitry "That's why I fully support those states that forbid Tesla to sell their cars directly to the customers." Thanks for letting us know what's really going on. For me, this explains your language of "...A severe accident leading to severe injuries or death may occur..."

@gajafl There are too-frequent incidents where driver hits spouse "assisting" with parking, as spouse/assistant "helps" with parking. Driving isn't a team sport. You don't need "ground control" like large airplanes do, when taxing to the gateway. Please-- parking is not a team sport...

@b_ran_don thanks for recent photo.

Excellent. My car was in last week for a minor warranty issue. Great communication from the service team. Lead time for appointment--maybe two weeks. Since my issue was minor, I didn't really pay attention to this aspect. When I picked up my car, one of the techs gave me a tour of a Plaid S...

Hey, neighborhood kids left it up, what was I going to do? Summon-ahoy! And yeah, I wasn't going to risk denting my hood with that thing. Maybe TMC can go-fund me for 4 pool-noodles for additional "height" testing.

Thanks for the laugh! "I only test with objects costing >$3m, so...PASS."

Here’s a quick test I did. Neighborhood kids set up this limbo pole, so I couldn’t resist testing Summon. My Model 3 appropriately stopped. Once I removed the horizontal pole, car proceeded with appropriate caution. IMHO seem dumb to experiment with an expensive car if you can’t see it, as was...
