    Model 3 Tires, Tire Sizes, Types, make / model recommendations, tire discussions, etc

    Just in case anyone else is considering these - brief update as I have now put about 2500 miles on them. They're still pretty noisy. If we were within the 2 month return window, I'd exchange them, I miss how quiet the previous tires were, and my family still complains about the sound...

    Theater mode not available since V11

    Hi, Tried to access theater mode for the first time since V11 while parked tonight. None of the options are responsive to clicks, e.g. YouTube, Netflix etc. The message at the top of the screen says "Available when Parked" (see image below) even though the car was clearly in park as indicated...

    Model 3 Tires, Tire Sizes, Types, make / model recommendations, tire discussions, etc

    Just back from a road trip, probably 1000 miles on the tires now. I’m not sure if they are getting quieter, we’re getting used to them, maybe a bit of both, but I think we’ll keep them. They do him a little still, but finding them better overall. Seeing 285 wh/mi so far after 1000 miles...

    200 miles review: Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4

    Curious, why 45psi? I’m running these tires too, currently at 42psi but open to trying higher

    Tire shop says OEM are on back order everywhere. Will put more miles on these and report back!

    Forgot to say, running 18” rims. And it’s the stealth performance motor.

    Model 3 Tires, Tire Sizes, Types, make / model recommendations, tire discussions, etc

    I recently replaced the OEM Michelin Primacys with AS4s on the recommendation of my local tire shop. I like the feel of them but they are very noisy from 40mph upwards. So much so that my wife and kids were complaining about them today on the freeway and asking me to play music to drown the...

    Sketchy AF Phanyom Braking

    I’ve experienced phantom braking a few times, usually in response to shadows on the road going under a bridge, no other vehicles in front. No discernible pattern other than that. Scared the poop out of my wife, she’s not keen on me using AP as a result.

    24 Months of Model 3 - How is Reliability?

    3 months, 6000 miles. Loose and getting worse stitching on steering wheel, replaced under warranty with a bit of pushing necessary. Driver's lumbar support motor failed, replaced under warranty by mobile ranger.

    M3 LR + FSD vs M3P no FSD

    I was on the fence. Got a stealth P. So glad I did, it's addictive.

    Lumbar button not working

    Driver's seat lumbar adjustment has stopped working, no sound from the motor. Passenger side working fine, and I can hear motor on that side. I've put in a SC request, just wondering if this is common/a known issue?

    Model 3 light show

    I was in a SC yesterday, as I was waiting to buy birthday presents for my son, discussing this with an advisor. He says so many parents have the car sold to them by their kids. The Tesla experience is so game changing- anyone who has ridden in our Model 3 wants to get one.

    He will probably get a Model X. Diecast toy one for his birthday in a few days :D.

    Model 3 light show

    That would be awesome. Kind of like human v robot. LoL, I'll let him know. Unfortunately no falcon wings on the 3 Ha, well I felt he deserved a Model 3 ;). A P3- :D.

    That's where my son got the idea :D

    Model 3 light show

    Right. I was operating indicators, with nothing like his dexterity, and he was manually operating all the lights. No practice, one take! Lol, I'm ask him

    Yes, all done manually, with no practice! I was in awe of his speed.

    Model 3 light show

    My 10 year old son is a massive Tesla fan and was instrumental in us buying the car. He keeps saying he's so happy we got our Model 3, has a Tesla shirt he wears every day (and sleeps in- it gets a lot of washing!), and has taught me stuff about the car. He got this idea having seen a Model X...

    Slight give in brake pedal, intermittently

    Interested to hear what they say. My tech put car on ramp to inspect and drove it, told me it was normal.

    P3D+ does not feel as fast as expected

    Definitely notice the most punch from a standing stop. In gear acceleration is less of a dramatic difference, if you look at speed/torque comparisons across the models, you see less gap at the rolling speed levels. Also, I think the more you get used to the instant torque, the less of an impact...

    Tesla service center no loaner Tesla anymore?

    I dropped off M3 today for some minor attention, got Uber credits. Car might be in for a few days, they said they would recharge the credits if needed.

    What triggers a Sentry Mode event?

    Yep, everything. Even wind sometimes judging by the footage I've captured. No damage? No worries.

    M3 is a BMW, people

    Seriously, +100 to this.

    Do you use touch-less automatic washes?

    I use that stuff too, so far it's all I do, ie no water wash. Working like a charm.

    One of my kids won't let me floor it if they are in the car, they get nauseous and headachey. The other one asks me to do it all the time.

    I don't understand why anyone on a Tesla forum cares about BMW model designations.

    Caraoke working for anyone with V10?

    Seeing some songs and playlists, but nothing is actually loading. 2 very impatient kids here!

    Nope, happens regularly on the flat. Where I live is mostly flat.

    What is the most reliable android phone with Tesla Model 3?

    Pixel 3 here, all good, occasionally if I have bluetooth off I have to wait a moment or two.

    V10 for non FSD

    No FSD, set my update settings to 'advanced', fingers crossed, waiting impatiently.

    Potential Owner with questions....

    Regen slows you to about 5mph, if you need to come to a complete stop, braking is needed for the last few mph. You can just let the car slow to a stop but requires more time. Autopilot is awesome on a highway imo, ie used as intended.

    Debating pulling the trigger on Model 3, welcome any thoughts

    Awesome! 2 kids here, it's our only car, zero issue with space.

    Potential Owner with questions....

    OP, you get used to the acceleration and regen. When my wife and kids are in the car, I can drive it like an old slow pussycat, the pedal is very easy to control once you get used to it, both for go and stop. Regen can be very gentle, you just have to drive like that. First few weeks I was...

    Someone Push Me Over the Edge or Pull me Back

    I really don't understand this mentality, unless you are leasing. Why settle for a noisy, polluting ICE throwback when you have such an awesome car? OP, road trips are the best fun in a Tesla. The car is built for high mileage, no engine to wear out. We have so much fun in ours we have put...

    Test Drive Tomorrow

    Be prepared for the time warp- your current car will instantly feel 10 years older when you get back in after the test drive. Tesla don't do hard sell, even at quarter end in my experience. She sounds like a recent hire who hasn't been disabused of the 20th century dealer mindset yet. Enjoy...

    V10 Impressions from those who have installed the update

    Sorry if answered earlier, when does this come to none FSD cars? I have software updates set to advanced.

    Slight give in brake pedal, intermittently

    Thanks, it does feel like some physical give or play, I did wonder about air, calipers makes sense too. I'll book a SC appt.

    5 reasons to buy a

    Cabin noise is quiet imo Don't miss blind spot monitor once I adjusted my mirrors properly. RCTA, don't miss it either. AP is super reliable for me if I use it per the manual

    Slight give in brake pedal, intermittently

    So I don't use creep. It's not the hold setting as I feel this click or shift both before and after hold engages, seemingly. randomly Tonight I heard an audible sort of click sound. Any other theories?

    Slight give in brake pedal, intermittently

    Nobody else experiencing this? Feels like a bit of extra travel in the pedal, accompanied by a feeling of the pedal physically clicking or shifting.

    Slight give in brake pedal, intermittently

    Wondering if anyone else has experienced this and or knows the cause? At a complete stop, foot on the brake, sometimes it sort of gives, like the pedal travels further and it feels like a mild click into place. It's not hold being activated, it usually happens after hold shows up on the...

    M3P- . What is it, how to order it, etc.

    It's funny, all this panel gap and paint business...now I scrutinize lots of cars in traffic. I regularly see discernible to the eye panel gap differences, saw a glaring one on a Honda the other day. Also my last car, a Toyota, had minor paint imperfections that I only noticed months later...

    New 3PD. Issues: Paint pits, paint drips, front hood gouges, door sill scratches, no frunk mat

    I appreciate your dilemma. We all want things to be perfect. My last car was a Toyota, it had some scratches on the lower front fender at delivery. I was gutted and wanted to walk away. They offered to buff it out, and once I got over my initial reaction I let them. It was not at all visible...

    Orange Peel Texture on Red Paint

    That effect is much more common than people realize on most modern cars. But it's only visible with the right lighting. A quick Google shows how prevalent it is, eg Orange Peel in Paint on a $70K car, Really?
