    Steering Wheel / Yoke option

    Several things come to mind when reading this thread. When I was 20 years old and riding motorcycles some shifted on the right side and some shifted on the left side, never caused me any difficulties then! That is not the case now, my 74 year old brain needs a little more time and familiarity...

    Steering Wheel / Yoke option

    I’ve had a refreshed Plaid since mid May 2022 and like Kazamm I can’t understand the benefits of the yoke versus the obvious disadvantages. Try loaning your car to someone who has never used the yoke? You are explaining things that shouldn’t have to be explained…? The horn placement is the worst...

    Winter storage battery charge percentage

    I bought a new Plaid in mid May this year. I routinely charge to 90%. I will visit my daughter in Phoenix for February and March and I’m asking for advice on battery charge percentage. It sits in a garage plugged in to 240 volts and the temperature doesn’t get below 35-40 degrees even on the...

    Yoke horn button move?

    Supposedly horn actuation was to be moved to center of yoke. I received a new yoke under warranty on my Plaid and the airbag has some slight movement when pressed. Build date was late April. Anyone heard anything?

    Interesting comment at the drag strip

    Took my 2022 Plaid with 19” wheels to Kil-Kare drag strip on July 21 for test and tune night. The strip is 1/8 mile but they will let you go full 1/4 mile if you ask for it. It might not be the best, safest option due to limited shutdown at this strip. I was pleasantly surprised at how...

    Torn Between Dual Motor LR and Performance [resolved]

    Others can talk about the small mechanical differences between the two cars and they make sense, but I want to speak to the incredible performance metrics of the M3P. I bought my model 3 performance in May 2018. Often I drive it in a very conservative manner, sometimes not. It has the most...

    Going on vacation for 2 1/2 months, please advise.

    My Model 3 performance lives in central Ohio in my garage. Garage never drops below 40 degrees F even when it’s 0 outside. I’ll be away 2 1/2 months returning in mid April. I am planning on setting battery charge level at 50% and leaving home charger that came with the car connected. Would you...

    Passenger reactions to full acceleration

    Went to a brunch the other day with a couple of friends that had never had a ride in a Tesla. The opportunity to show them full go from a dead stop presents itself and I warned them how severe my model 3 performance would accelerate. Mashing the pedal to the floor has the front seat passenger...

    By the way no tapping of the fob has any effect.

    Tesla key fob not recognized?

    I have 2 key cards and they work like they are supposed to. I purchased the key fob so I can open the frunk, trunk, lock and unlock the car as I walk up to it. The weirdness is that about 50% of the time when I unlock the car with the fob and get in the message displayed on the screen asks me to...

    Tesla key fob not recognized?

    I recently purchased a key fob from Tesla to supplant my 2 key cards for my Tesla model 3 performance. Approximately 50% of the time when I get in the car after unlocking it with the fob the display says tap card on console like I was using my key card. The only workaround I’ve been able to come...

    What did you look at other than the 3

    I test drove a used 2016 Porsche Cayman S with PDK and loved it. Dealer said after 10-15 hole shots in launch mode it will need to be serviced to the tune of $1500......My heart stopped. Started looking hard at the model 3 performance and decided to try it. Man I love this car. I love giving...
