    Has anyone ordered the 279 mile range model?

    I have not yet read about anyone signing for the 279 mile range model with the 4680. I wonder what the number of reservations are?

    Need help on a question on fitting 2 bikes in the Model Y

    Hello. I could not find the answer to this question. Can you fit 2 adult bikes in the back of the Model Y, assuming if you take the front wheel off? I ordered my Model Y with a hitch and just found out the max weight to carry a bike rack is 160 lbs. That is not enough because EV bikes...

    Any rumors on adding to or upgrading the battery on a Model 3?

    I have a SR+ bought last May. I really enjoy the Tesla experience and don’t mind stopping to charge on trips. And I am happy with my decision with the SR+ purchase and the price point. But there are times that an extra 50-100 miles would really come in handy. Any rumors about Tesla allowing...

    Model 3 resale value

    I bought my M3 sr+ in late May 2019. I have to say that I enjoy the car but am extremely disappointed at the loss of range (8-10 miles). That is not what I expected from my sr+ that only has 5000 miles I am going to wait until late spring and see if the loss of miles improves or gets steadily...

    Automatic Windshield Wiper Issue—rains but delay is way too long

    Has anyone else experience the auto wiper delay between cycles is way too long? A sprinkle and the auto does activate. However, the cycle between wipes is long and the window has been covered causing difficulty on seeing out. I have to usually switch to manual. Where is the rain sensor btw?

    Reminder: Tesla does not require foreign oil for power

    My Model 3 is an American car, built by Americans and is powered by American energy (mostly, some comes from Canada). It does not require purchases of energy from countries that are sometimes hostile to western nations. Shame that Tesla doesn’t provide marketing.

    Anyone else having fun trying to get the best wh/miles possible?

    It has been over a month since my purchase of my sr+. I find myself driving conservatively trying to get the best wh/miles possible. I do keep up with traffic flow and try not to be a bother to other drivers. But I do find it fun to see how low I can get the wh/miles. My average commute is 8...

    Love AP but had some scary moments

    I love driving with AP and will continue to use it. I have had some scary moments, though. My M3 did get confused a couple of times and one time swerved hard correcting itself within the lines. Good practice to not let down your attention too much when in AP mode Also, has any experience...

    Newbie doing some number crunching On Vampire drain.

    My last charge was completed with 217 miles of range. I now sit at day 5 with 133 miles left. Tesla last charge states 72.7 (73) miles, 14 kWh, and a 191 Wh/miles. So, it appears that I have lost 11 miles due to vampire drain in the past 5 days which is a little over 2 miles a day. (217 - 133)...

    Just had a Tesla charger installed. Charges are going at 12 amp at 246 volt?

    SR + (240 range). 12 amps with 246 volts according to M 3 display. That doesn’t seem quite right. Did the electrician get the wrong wiring or wrong circuit breaker? I think he put in a breaker at 40 max amps. These numbers sound like a Nema connector versus a Tesla wall connector? It is...

    Enough of talking auto taxis and focus on selling the M3 to the public

    Good gracious, the Model 3 is outstanding vehicle and the public has very little truth about it. Millions would lining to buy up if Tesla would just focus on (limited) marketing and the M3. Perhaps Tesla can’t/won’t market the Model 3 because they just don’t have the resources to pump out a...

    Has anyone found a product to stop people from pulling the manual open Tesla keeps track how mandoor

    the manual open door release is a big fail for the engineers. They placed it right where most door handles are located. I bought some little stickers that says “open door” on the door button. Still, it doesn’t stop anyone from pulling the manual opener. And I am sure that lever is monitored...

    Vehicle Delivery sheet says 50 miles on car. Is this standard?

    i am getting my M3 today. I noticed that the delivery sheet says 50 miles. That is very unusual for a new car. It is either the standard number they put in on all paperwork or possibly it is was used as a demo car. If it is 50 miles on the car I am thinking I may refuse delivery. I know that...

    Model 3 rwd and weather conditions

    I did a quick search on the forum to see if this has been discussed recently and didn’t see any topics. For Model 3 rwd owners, how does it handle in rain, snow, or icy conditions? I assume with the heavy torque, engine in back, and battery / weight distribution it may handle just as well as a fwd

    Floor matts that cover the back seating

    Any recommendations for all weather floor matts for the entire car including covering the back seats? So far, I only found this https://www.amazon.com/TeslaHome-Tesla-Model-Protector-seatback/dp/B07MH2MKYH/ref=pd_rhf_dp_p_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=6M5EXW3SQ3GNYQVHKQQG&th=1

    Any concerns with the new battery in sr plus?

    Hello, has anyone read or know about the new battery pack in the sr (sr plus) that may be a concern? Is this battery temporary until Tesla moves all m3 to long range? Can they squeeze more mileage out of the charge, understanding they may not want to offer this now for obvious reasons...

    Buying a M3 in the next 3 weeks. I have a few question for you experience folks

    I rented a m3 for the day. I put about 120 miles on the car cruising the backroads. I think I am ready to buy. I am going for the Model 3 Standard Plus Rear-Wheel Drive —white. I assume that the goal is to get the latest model from production. The dealership told me that they can do that by...

    BMW I3 and Chevy Bolt versus the M3

    As a good consumer I have been doing some car comparison. The 3 cars (electric) that I test drove are the Chevy Bolt, BMW I3, and of course the M3. The I3 is very small I was a bit taken aback when I saw it up close. I almost considered it a waste of my time even being there at the dealership...

    The high cost of repair is giving me pause on the purchase of the Model 3

    My wife and I test drove the Model 3 this past weekend. This is one incredible sedan. It hits all the points; looks, well built, hi tech, speed, fun to drive, and just a beautiful piece of machinery. However... I have been incredible stories that a mere dent in the door or quarter panel can...
