    bought used 2017 tmx, excruciating back pain

    Hi! I bought a used 2017 TMX with partly leather seats. After taking it on a 90 minute drive home my back started to hurt a lot. Over the last 5 weeks I've tried modifying the seat position in all kind of ways, always saving and driving for a prolonged period before testing a new setting. The...

    Used car recommendations

    I'm considering a used TMX, and I'm looking at a range of different options in my price segment. Preferred seat config: 7s foldable middle => 5s => 7s static middle => 6 seater with armrest. I don't care about EAP/FSD, I don't need Netflix and CCS charging is a cheap upgrade. I would prefer...

    How much regen braking with regen set to 0

    I have a theory which I realize I don't have any basis for, so therefore I ask you this: For identical scenarios, will track mode with 0 regen affect how much regenerative braking is used when applying the brakes, or will it be the same as if you didn't have track mode on? I thought the regen...

    Taptes Premium Nappa on 2021 TM3 (spoiler, nothing new)

    Just finished installing the Taptes Premium Nappa leather covers on my TM3P. Doesn't seem like there are any changes that affects the fit. Been driving with the drivers seat covers for week. Breathes better for longer trips #SweatyBack Video: Disclosure: Not sponsored. Did not compare it to...

    Replacing uberturbine with 18" flow forged

    Hi! I'm replacing my (unused) Uberturbine wheels on my TM3P with some 18" flow forged rims and tires I've opted for 235/8.5+45 Michelin PS4 tires, but after reading a bunch of threads on this forum I'm still not sure if that's a good setup. The full name of the tire is listed as: Michelin Pilot...

    Does TPMS tire selection calibrate speedometer?

    Will changing the tire type in the "reset tpms" screen also recalibrate the speedometer? If yes, then would it also be true that as long as the wheel diameter is the same then the speedometer accuracy will stay the same? If both of those are yes, then selecting the Track Pack 20" from the TPMS...

    MPP comfort coilovers + hitch + speed bumps

    Anyone have experience with MPP coilovers, speedbumps and the tow hitch? How low can I go without having heart attacks when I see a speed bump? We have loads of them

    TM3P P Zero tires, what to expect?

    Tried finding a thread for this, but maybe I suck at searching. What can I expect with the new TM3P P Zero tires? I've had a TM3P for almost a year with the Michelin PS4S, and I thought those were really good. If I've understood correct the P-Zero are stretched because the new rims are 9"...

    19" original rims on TM3P?

    Is it possible to fit the original 19" rims on the TM3P, and will Tesla do it? I don't want 20" winter tires because, you know, $2k to replace them every 2-3 years.

    Ways to improve comfort without voiding warranty

    My fiance finds the ride in the TM3P (and non-p) a bit too hard and gets back pain whenever she drives it for more than 20-30 minutes. I'm wondering what kind of modifications is possible without voiding warranty. I've heard the MPP comfort (adjustable) are a big help, but AFAIK Tesla isn't...

    performance vs LR amateur track day

    So I've never taken a car to the track, but I've always wanted to do it. I think I'm gonna take my new TM3 a few times. I have an LR on order because I wanted the hitch and none of the sales reps could get me a base performance. However, there are a couple performance versions on the same boat...

    How to tell which supercharger is fast

    I'm trying to figure out how to pick the correct charging station when I'm at a supercharger site. My TM3P+ can only get 50kW on the different chargers I've tried at our local 150kW supercharger site. I've tried at different SOCs, from around 20% and up to around 70%. I always precondition...

    Reduce/eliminate phantom braking (trigger warning)

    Some weeks ago I posted a poll on how often people experience phantom braking, and the results were around 50% for "Almost never" and the rest spread out over "seldom" to "almost always". That's a really high number so I decided to test out different strategies to improve it (I was one of the...

    How often do you experience phantom braking

    I think most people on this forum has experienced phantom braking. Some think it's no problem, others think it's a crime against humanity. Personally I think it's such an awful experience that I don't use TACC or AP any more. Every once in a while I use it while I open a bottle or put on my...

    TM3P day-to-day performance

    I know the numbers from some of the racers state figures down to sub 3 seconds 0-100 (km here), but what do you experience in normal day-to-day situations? I have a couple of stretches where I like to come to a complete stop and just floor it. It's usually somewhere about 5-6 seconds 0-100km/h...

    Cleaning tips

    Hi! I took delivery of my P3D+ yesterday, it had a lot of stains but I live far away from the delivery center and they didn't know if they could get it cleaned and ready the same day, so I added a concern and took the car home. The stains on the seats came right off, but I tried to gently clean...

    Don't buy from taptes

    I bought the full set of taptes seat covers for my TM3 on Black Friday. They have not sent them yet, but they have given me a fake tracking number. They don't respond to emails. I know a lot of people got what they ordered, but I'm out $600 and they are giving me the silent treatment while...

    OEM Roof Rack lock broken

    I managed to break two of the locks for my OEM roof rack when I dismantled it. The right side bolts unlocked the opposite way of the left-side bolts, so when I dismantled the rack I managed to snap the security bolts (they didn't give much resistance, I didn't even realize that I broke them by...

    Anyone have experience with taptes seat covers?

    I just bought the full set Nappa leather from TapTes, but trying to search this forum I can only find 2 people who recommend them and they are both blocked members. Have anyone else bought these, and what are your experiences with them?

    wrapped door handles + freezing temperatures = nightmare

    Here's a 20/20 hindsight tip to everyone who lives in cold climates. My colleague had issues getting his door handles to work today, we had a few negative degrees Celsius and it rained a lot last night. He had to knock on the handles for a bit before they loosened. Me on the other hand, I've...

    TM3 Stealth in Europe

    Is there anyone here who has managed to get a hold of a TM3 Stealth/Unicorn/Base Performance in Europe? During my recent interaction with the delivery team I was told that there is no way to get a base performance over here, but as we all know the information available to Tesla employees are...

    22% depreciation in 8 months [Update: sold it for 5.4% less than new price]

    I finally got a trade-in offer from Tesla on my 8 month old TM3 (LR AWD, Black/black, FSD, Winter tires). Super-short background, I'm handing it for its 5th service on December 11th, and I hate owning it. I ordered a new one and I'm handing in the old one. Because it's riddled with faults they...

    PPF, ceramic coating, vinyl, paint, costs?

    Based on people's experience, how much would the different things listed cost on a TM3? I paid just under $3000 for a fully wrapped TM3 (Avery Dennison), tinted back window (full length, single sheet), tinted back door windows and chrome delete. So how much do you reckon for 1) PPF (xpel or...

    P3D+ tires and rims, noise and costs

    Sorry if this has been asked before, didn't find anything but I might suck at searching for info. I've ordered a P3D+ and added the OEM winter tires. I have never cracked a rim before, and seldom had scratches, so I wasn't immediately worried about the low profile tires on 20" rims. However...

    New M3, what's included?

    Is there any way to find out what is included in the new car I ordered? Does it have floor mats, drunk mat, trunk mat, charging cables for phone (and which ones), key cards, key fobs, etc. I know there's a "things that have changed" wiki somewhere, but that's assuming you knew about everything...

    Trading my TM3 for a TM3

    Just to get it out of the way: I love the TM3 so much I'm getting a new one. This is not a troll post, just telling my story and venting a bit. I got my TM3 LR AWD FSD on the 28th of March, I had never seen one before, much less driven one. The delivery was only 2-3 minutes and we didn't even...

    Trading in my TM3, for a TM3, need advice

    Super-short background (feel free to skip): bought a TM3 LR AWD FSD (gotta love those abbreviations) in March. Got screwed over by Tesla Norway and got stuck with a car that just gets one new issue after another. My car has started disconnecting and I can seldom wake it from the app. It's -5...

    Options to cover faux leather

    The faux leather in the TM3 is not very allergy friendly so I've got large sores on my back, my elbows and my left knee (resting against the door blade). Does anyone have any tips on how I could cover these parts of the car? I use a seat cover now which means I stopped getting the sores on my...
