    Looking To Rent A Parking Space in San Mateo

    Hi everyone, I'm going to be attending Draper University for 6 weeks or so starting July (covid permitting), and I am looking to see if anyone in the community has an extra parking spot with charging available in the San Mateo area. Even a 110v outlet is fine as I will mostly be staying on...

    TRADE: North American Spec Model 3 Tail Lights For EU Spec

    Kind of a long shot, but here goes. I am looking to trade my 2019 Tesla Model 3 North American spec tail lights for EU ones. If there are any Europeans out there interested in trading let me know. And yes, the parts are interchangeable (although I need to do a bit of wiring mods to get mine to...

    Model S Performance Vs LR Range

    I'm sort of considering the idea of buying a Model S, especially if the rumored interior refresh does actually happen. I'm wondering if anyone knows why the long range MS gets almost 650km rated range while the Performance only gets 560km? They both have the same 19" wheels so it's not that...

    WTB: CHADEMO Adapter

    Looking to buy a CHADEMO adapter, preferably in the lower mainland area of BC. I could order online but would rather save a few bucks if anyone is looking to part with one. Cheers!

    Model 3 SR+ Premium Sound System Upgrade Video

    Hi everyone, a few weeks ago I completed the premium sound system upgrade for my Model 3. I recorded a video detailing the steps, but unfortunately I couldn't record while I was doing the work since it was dark and I needed both hands most of the time. However, I go step by step and try to...

    Performance Brake Pads of Choice

    Hello everyone, I'm looking at upgrading the front brakes on my Model 3 SR+ from the tiny stock brakes to the OEM performance ones. I find the brakes just fade WAY too fast on the track, and the fronts seem to be the worst offenders. They were smoking pretty good last time, and looking at the...

    Tesla Rims on a Taurus

    A kind of interesting experiment, I upgraded the wheels on my SR+ to some knockoff TST Sportline 18" rims and had a friend that wanted to buy the old stock 18" rims for his 2013 Taurus SHO. Turns out the bolt pattern is pretty much identical. Obviously he opted to put fatter rubber on, and it...

    FS: Model 3 Aero Covers

    I'm selling my aero covers since I now have aftermarket rims. 50 USD plus shipping costs, or pick up from me in Victoria, BC. No scuffs or damage. Barely used, since I couldn't stand the look of em, haha. Kitchen knife not included in sale ;)

    WTB Model 3 Performance Brakes

    Looking to buy the entire brake setup for a Model 3 Performance, not too worried about the condition of the pads, I'll probably replace them, but rotors need to be in decent shape without any obvious scoring or warping. I'll also consider buying only one axle if that's all you have. I need at...

    Car Stopped Charging at 98%

    Today I was charging and I decided to charge to 100% for the first time in about 6 months to see the degradation on my 2019 Model 3 SR+. After quite some time around 97%, near an hour, it finally stopped at 98% and said charging complete. No amount of stopping/restarting the charge or changing...

    Part Outs?

    Hi all, does anyone know where the best place is to find Model 3's being parted out? I'm wondering if there is any way to get in touch with people who are parting out scrapped vehicles. Local scrapyards have been a bust. Thanks!

    Any SR Owners Wired Up Map Pocket Lights?

    With the recent release of the rear heated seat upgrade for the SR model 3's, I was inspired to complete my car to a more or less "Premium" trim level. A later mission will be wiring up some of the extra speakers and a sub. But for now my current project is to wire up the ambient footwell...

    Real Range Display Option

    I can't be the only one who finds the "Distance" energy display option nearly useless. Living in a hilly part of Canada it is often off by a factor of 50-100% in the winter. Does anyone else think it'd be nice to have a third option for energy display besides % and EPA rated distance? I'd...

    My Strata Is Going Electric!

    After 6 months we're finally nearing completion of installation of our first EV charger (two J1772 plugs) to serve 3 EV stalls. The building is a 78 unit condo and surprisingly all but three units voted to build the charger even though I'm the only EV owner currently. It'll be costly to use at...

    Who Else Had ICE Ruined For Them?

    Well I've had my Model 3 a few months now, and despite the flaws with the "customer service" side of things, the driving dynamics are amazing. I went back to driving a Mercedes C63s the other day and I was blown away. The car felt... slow, sloppy, and almost annoying to drive. I used to work for...

    Free Supercharging Miles Dissappeared

    I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this. I got my Model 3 less than a month on June 13th. I'd ordered a few months earlier when the 7500km/5000 miles of free supercharging referral bonus was in effect. I supercharged about 4 times before, and each time the dollar amount for...

    An Amusing Story of Tesla Delivery Woes

    First off, a disclaimer so nobody flames me into the next century, view this post as satire and as an avenue for me to vent rather than a serious blasting of Tesla. I knew from reading this forum that when I placed my deposit, my delivery process would be extremely slow and convoluted. I will...

    Online Delivery Date Accuracy

    Hello everyone, I ordered my Model 3 SR+ from Tesla Vancouver on May 4th. I recently just finished accepting the trade in offer and the instant I finished that, my delivery date appeared on my Tesla account. It's got the delivery date listed as June 1st at 11:30am which seems extremely...
