Looks like you got a good alignment out of it.

So what was the fix?

This is enough for me to decide. The answer seems clear to me.

Aero is far more important than weight for general efficiency. My money is on the EV01 with the covers.

SOLD!

MPP Model 3 Sports Coilovers lowered to $2390.

I bought these Mountain Pass Performance parts to throw on my Tesla Model 3 Performance over the winter but I sold it before install. Everything is brand new in unopened boxes. Save a few dollars and no waiting on parts. (1) MPP Model 3 Sports Coilovers AWD/Performance $2490 Shipped (1)...

SOLD!

Hard to believe but car prices are up around the country (both new and pre-owned). The car has been driven a bit since I posted this in the fall. Now up to 12,069 miles. After posting in the fall I decided to keep the car, but as you can see it gets very little use so bumping this thread...

Price drop to $52,900.

Some interior pictures:

2019 Telsa Model 3 Performance in great condition. Includes Full Self Driving and the HW3 computer came from the factory. 11,318 miles. Garage kept. No kids, no pets, non-smoker. I am the original owner. Purchased as a 2nd car to commute 70 miles a day but with Covid the car sits in the...

No guarantee doing anything there will address your issue. The double sided tape was only a temporary fix that did not last. In the end they replaced my entire rear shelf. I think as they were working to address the noise they caused the 3rd brake light to rattle which required them to...

Tesla service is absolutely terrible if you must take your car to a service center. It was excellent. Tesla would pick up your car and leave you a loaner wherever you were. The location of the service center was irrelevant. Then out of nowhere Tesla cancelled that service without notice...

Very....

Had my rear glass replaced due to not enough adhesive used when it was installed. Local service techs said this is a very common problem. It creates soft spots in the roof glass that eventually turn into small stress fractures. Then the glass cracks. Now mine was replaced because we...

Model 3 insurance is 60%+ higher in Michigan than other cars of similar age/MSRP. Most of that increase is in the comprehensive and collision premiums. There are also higher state vehicle registration costs to offset the lack of taxes paid at the pump - but these costs are significantly...

I came from a Cadillac ATS-V and they also offered a similar concierge service. I never once took my ATS-V to the dealership. The dealership picked up my car, left a loaner, and then swapped back after service was compete. When you are crazy busy and time is money these value added...

That is irrelevant. Tesla shut down the concierge service. Why? Many bought their cars with this in mind and then out of the blue it stopped. That is Tesla's doing. Nothing to do with legislators or laws. Tesla took away a value added service.

This has nothing to do with legislators. Tesla offered a concierge service where they would bring you a car, pick up your car, take it to a staging location (Farmington Hills in my area), then truck your car to Cleveland where the repairs would take place. Then bring it back to you. It was...

Traffic cone recognition is a HW3 thing. I have one car FSD and one not. Both recognize traffic cones. Both are HW3 cars.

Yes. Normal for almost all cars. That area is outside the door seal.

Ordered night of the presentation. Tri-motor. Hard to own a truck without the equivalent of an lsd in the rear for traction.

Those sounds are not creaks. That seems like a massive clunking noise. Something that should be tight is not. Could be failed or worn out rubber bushings. Which could explain why some people are having their control arms replaced to fix these noises.

Ordered mine. Late 2022 for the tri motor 500 mile range version. Plenty of time for the design to grow on me or Tesla make it better based on all the negative reactions here.

When you lower a car just by changing springs you lose a bit of range of strut/shock travel. Lower 1" and you lose 1" of strut travel before your strut bottoms out. This causes the strut to bottom out more frequently. This usually causes premature wear. When you move to a full coilover...

Was about to buy the 18" TSS or TST wheels for winter wheels. None of the pictures of the wheels on the cars have the logo. I just caught the logo on one of the pictures of the wheel by itself. I don't mind their logo somewhere on the wheel but not like they did it. Looks terrible.

I'm in Michigan so we have some of the highest rates in the country. My model 3 performance is about 35% higher than my '16 Cadillac ATS-V and our '18 WRX (which surprisingly were the same price even though the WRX was half the purchase price). So quite a bit more.

Here's a follow up. The wall connector is no longer functional.. The wire was melted maybe 2 inches in the conduit. I cut off about 3 feet of wire (looked brand new) and ran the feed into a junction box and then new wire to the HPWC. Nothing. After sending Tesla the pictures and...

Thanks for the tips. I don't see how the wire could be on the wrong side of the clamp. I'll have to look closer at it. They were both clamped in tight. I agree the jacket wasn't stripped back as far as it could have been. I'll make sure to strip it back further next time. Any thoughts to...

Last night I plugged in my Model 3 around 50% battery like I do each day (charge to 80% daily). Went to go to work this morning and I notice I'm at 28% battery. I see the HPWC has no power. Breaker is on but nothing from the HPWC. So I take my Jeep to work and deal with it later...

Does anyone have the torque specs and details of which bolts are checked at this maintenance? Should be simple for many people to check in their own garage.

Had a 2016 P90D as a loaner. Much bigger car. One big positive: MUCH quieter in the cabin. Road noise and wind noise both were nearly non-existant compared to our model 3s. The S interior felt very outdated compared to the 3. A refresh has to be coming.

My feedback is based on software version 2019.24.4 on HW3. Regular AP is ok because you can control the lane changes. Although even at a follow distance of 1 the car leaves at least 3 car lengths between the car in front of me which really doesn't fly in traffic. I constantly get cut...

No. Any time the car wants to change lanes you'll piss off everyone around you. It seems the car has very limited vision. It slows down to change lanes instead of accelerating into the lane to properly merge with traffic. Signals to get over and waits too long to make the move. It is...

Have to measure tire and wheel together for total weight.

It has to be unveiled first. Then probably between 1-2 years from that unveiling. Think 2021 time-frame. If you need something soon the Tesla pickup should not be a consideration.

I have two Model 3s. April build no cutout, May build has the cutout.

Mobile service came out yesterday to address the rear shelf noise (and other things). We went for a test drive to diagnose wind noise and one thing I noticed it was much quieter. I asked him if he did anything to the rear shelf yet and he said yes. It was rattling just by tapping so I put...

You're likely not wrong for waiting. It's definitely not a $6k value with the features today. But HW3 cars are not benefiting from the HW3 computer yet. It'll be interesting to see how much better FSD will be once software comes out that utilizes HW3 capability.

In Michigan you only give the VIN number to the insurance company. The VIN number does not decode the $10k bump for the performance package or the $5-6k increase for FSD. Those items would have to be covered to some degree if the vehicle were to be totaled. But you raise an interesting...

Just tap with your hand until you can reproduce the rattle noise to help identify it. It seems almost the entire rear deck rattles to some degree depending on where you tap and how much force you use. Most of the rattles come from the metal grill, but only when tapping a bit forward of it...

I picked it up from other posters here and other forums. It's possible it is a circular reference with an unknown origin at this point. Whatever Tesla (Porsche, GM, etc) requested Michelin do with OEM tires would be considered proprietary information and will not be disclosed unless Tesla...

Tesla's spec is supposed to have harder compound in the center of the tire to support the higher tire pressures without wearing them out prematurely. That would contribute to it being a less sticky tire. How much so vs it's wider tread width is anybody's guess.

Yes wrong advertising. This feature is not available yet.

Anyone figure this out?

His wheels and tires were likely balanced when tires were mounted on the wheels before he put them on the car.

Just checked mine and I see the same thing.

One that is not available yet.

I also lost the dashcam. But sentry mode works. I'll do a restart shutdown later tonight.
