That range estimate is related to the Wh/mi that the car has seen, it's not a good indication of capacity loss. I imagine a rental car is not driven nicely so the Wh/mi is probably really poor in comparison.

Rented a (Volvo) Polestar 2 for a week, worst EV I've ever driven, could not wait to get back to my Tesla. I've driven a Lucid, Audi eTron, Kia EV5, Hyundai Ionic 5, Rivian R1T, Mustang Mach E, Chevy Bolt, Nissan Leaf, BMW i3, BMW i4 and any one of those cars were better than the Polestar 2...

I've been rotating tires using this method for 20 years, never had an issue, always have gotten even tire wear. There is no additional stress on the chassis than what the car would see on a rough road and the chassis of cars today are stiff enough to easily handle the front being raised enough...

Looks like a fairly poor performing tire in most categories when compared to other similar tires. Accelera PHI Test, Review & Ratings of the Summer tire | AllTyreTests.com

So, here is an update. I actually got close to 60,000 miles out of the OEM 20" Michelin PS4S, even though I had done lots of highway driving, I was still amazed the tires held up for so long. I guess I attribute the long life to frequent tire rotations, regularly checking air pressure and...

For my 2019 TM3P, changing from OEM wheels with 20" Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires to 19" OEM wheels and Hankook Ventus S1 EVO 3 tires (same tire Tesla has been putting on the LR with 19" wheels from the factory) I'm still seeing no range improvement, my Wh/mi is about the same as before...

Nearly every EV test I've seen a Tesla M3 still has greater range than the competition that costs the same or more, so to call it a scam when you have different tires than OEM and don't understand that highways speeds yield shorter range is not really an issue created by Tesla. When I bought my...

55k miles in 3 years, still the best car I've owned. I have a M3P, ride and handling are excellent and on par with other sport sedans I've driven, wind noise is virtually non-existent in my car, I can listen at low volumes on the highway at 75 mph. I really think some vehicles need to be taken...

Driving in on Saturday from Daytona Beach.

Painted is good too, every manufacturer wheel I know of is painted, not powder coated. Your car looks just right to me.

So far so good, it's been a few days now since I installed the update and no more AP issues. Guess that's one thing with a car that is so software focused, any glitch in the software can cause things not to work. I've cancelled my service appointment so I don't waste my time with Tesla, 54,000...

I have an 80 mi commute from Daytona Beach to Melbourne, it’s 80 mi exactly each way, with 74 miles driving 76mph. I charge to 90%, arrive back home with 15%, this is tested repeatedly, however when it gets colder, say in the mid 30’s, I can arrive home with closer to 10% remaining. Your commute...

Hoping this will be my case as well.

So, even though AP worked fine on the way home yesterday, after charging last night AP didn’t work this morning on my way to work. This really does not seem like a hardware issue. I have a software update pending install, I will wait and see if that fixes my issues.

After parking the car at work today, 9 hours later, I drive home with no issues, AP and TACC working just fine. I did go into the Service menu and checked under Notifications for error messages, the only thing I saw was "UI_a114 Driving visualization temporarily degraded, Features may be...

No issues until 2022.16.3 which I just got a week ago, I am looking for another update but so far I haven’t received software push.

Software version 2022.16.3 my Autopilot and Adaptive Cruise unavailable on my drive to work this morning, worked fine on the way home yesterday. Only charged the car in between it working and not working. Submitted a service request to Tesla. Seems Tesla has some random bugs in their software...

Please help me understand something, like in most every car manufactured today, the windshield is bonded to the frame using an adhesive, so how is it that stress cracking is a bigger problem with a Tesla than any other car manufactured using the same method of assembly? Does the car flex in...

You would need to explain to me why you'd want to spend $900 on a Thule rack with lots of plastic bits when you could get a 1upUSA rack for 60% of that cost. The Thule rack you linked uses plastic straps and an arm that rubs on the bike frame, neither of these are a good way to hold a bike...

If I were to transport bikes on my Model 3, in my opinion the only way to go is to install a hitch, either factory if you can get one or the Stealth hitch, and get a hitch mount bike rack like the one made by 1upusa.com (possibly the best, longest lasting bike rack made). I have the 1up rack...

My driver's seat is a little creaky at times as well, usually when I first get in. Once I'm off and driving it doesn't seem to make much noise, mine seems to be coming from the plastic seat back but I will check the seat rail as well. Thanks for posting.

This time around, rather than buying the inexpensive silicone refills like I had been doing, I splurged and bought the Bosh Aerotwin OEM replacement wipers from Amazon. Exactly the same as what came on the car, but with Bosch logo laser engraved on the end cap. Cost was $35, so not as...

My first replacement windshield had a defect (vertical distortion up and down the passenger side of the glass). Also, the company that did the replacement originally, didn't do a good job applying the adhesive among other issues. A warranty request was submitted to Tesla and was told to make...

I will add to this UI Rant thread. IMO V11 UI is terrible. Text is too small, only 4 configurable buttons and the options for those buttons are limited to things that are not needed for one touch access yet leaves out defrost and seat heaters that should be obvious choices. Tire Pressure and...

Yes, the QC specs are protected from any new owners asking how bad the car can be and still be "in spec", I really believe the Delivery Centers don't have any published specs.

Thanks for doing that. Now just add back the icons at the top right for connectivity and Sentry Mode, add back the SuperCharger Locations on the right vertical box, then add the small box below the car that shows Wh/mi and trip info/Tire Pressure. Then I think most of us will quiet down about...

Not sure about more contact area on the 20" tire, they are the same width and same diameter as the 19" tire.

I don't think any more so than the 19" wheels, I don't think the nail cares what size tire you have when you run it over.

Rather than just shell out nearly $1,700 for a set of tires, I decided to look for other options. I put on around 20k-25k miles a year on my car and was looking at how much money I'd save in the long run, like over the next several years. As for lowering the car, the wheel gap is exactly the...

After 40,000 miles on the original tires, I decided it was time to figure out if I wanted to spend $365 x 4 + tax + installation (~$1,662) for a set of 20" Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, or consider moving to a 19" wheel and cheaper tire. Sure, could have gone with a 20" Fallen Azenis FK510...

Just went through this after getting my windshield replaced. HVAC would only blow on the windshield when in Auto mode, manually I could control everything but it was annoying. Submitted a service request to Tesla, they pushed an update, then everything started working fine again. Service Tech...

I have a 2019 Model 3 Performance with OEM 20" wheels and the original PS4S tires with 36k miles on the set. I might get 40k out of the tires but rather than spending $1,600 on another set of 20" PS4S tires, I purchased a set of used 2021 OEM 19" Tesla Sport Wheels, will be adding a set of...

I suppose saying something is "easy" is only relative to things I think are hard. I also hand wash my car, rotate my tires, change my AC cabin filter and add my own windshield washer fluid, all of which I think are pretty easy.

My solution, just replace the inserts with silicon blades that you cut to size, easy to do. Basically two silicone replacement insert for $8, that's only $4 per wiper and they work well. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GCJNGJF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have a 2019 M3P, been checking the battery voltage with a DVM to see if I can know ahead of time if the battery is dropping voltage. September 2019 delivery June 2020 13.84V July 2020 14.32V Sept 2020 14.2V Aug 2021 13.92V Car has 34k miles, so far so good. Will need to replace the OEM...

Would be nice if owners would also comment on the efficiency of their new tires. With 2400 miles on a set you'd think that would be enough to know if the DWS 06 is more or less efficient than the OEM Pirellis.

Doesn't Tesla allow you to configure the wheels on the display? If so, then all the owner needs to do is change the wheel size to 19" and it should correct the speedometer automatically. That is assuming the 19" tire he has on his wheels matches up to the tire size Tesla puts on their OEM 19"...

Wheel choice is nice, totally understand you dropping down in rim size for those Chicago pot holes. The tires should do really well in winter conditions, I would estimate you are going to lose more than 5% of performance you would get from a summer tire in warm, dry conditions, but given your...

Thank you! This was also annoying me until I read your post. Seemed to work fine once I followed your instructions.

I was at the Merritt Island service center back in December to have the dash in my Model 3 replaced under warranty. They did a great job, I even got a loaner Model 3 with FSD for the day. My car was ready as promised and the work was done with no issues found. Hope they get deliveries going...

1up has also improved the tilt release latch mechanism to make it easier to operate than the version I have from a few years ago.

Have a neighbor friend, fellow TM3 owner, who just went through your same scenario with his 2018 LR RWD, at first thought it was the 12V, but once towed to the SC, needed to have there rear drive unit replaced all under warranty. Unfortunately the also scratched the front fender of his car.

Thanks for the advice. My emergency brake warning has been set on Late since day 1. I've also checked the setting periodically after updates since some settings seem to change after an update.

I agree that's true, however, I want to add that I have another car with adaptive cruise and lane keep assist that doesn't "phantom brake" nearly as much as the Tesla. My wife's car has randomly braked 3 times in the 3 years of ownership, my Tesla has randomly braked 3 times in the same day...

Lightly used charger works perfectly, includes all original cables and packaging. I'll even throw in shipping in the US. Payment via PayPal. See pictures.

Anyone who is on a major highway or interstate, is using Autopilot, experiences sudden braking but fails to react by just pressing the throttle, should not be blaming the car for coming to a complete stop.

But my Honda Tech has been better for the past three years, while Tesla has not surpassed it in terms of false positives. In other words, I prefer less false positives now over the promise less false positives sometime in the future.

Regardless of Tesla employing more advanced technology, my wife’s 2017 Honda phantom brakes far less than my 2019 Model 3. IMO, Tesla should have already figured out how to handle shadows from an overpass, but here we are, a couple years later, we have HW3, and I still have multiple incidents...
