    Phantom braking events with pics

    I did 800 miles yesterday and had probably 10 hard brakes with nothing around, not even shadows or tar snakes as far as I could tell. Not a single braking with cars coming at me on a 2 lane road, that was a huge fix, but this seems to have gotten worse.

    Phantom Braking/1st Road Trip

    500 highway miles today in AZ/NM in the 21 M3LR - probably at least a dozen phantom brakings in AP. Just cruising along and outta nowhere she slows way down when there's a car stopped on the side of the road or a car approaching on the other side of a crest of a hill, big rigs too close to the...

    M3 2019 vs 2021

    Took delivery of my LRM3 this week - had a RWD LR 2019. A few observations - The 21 fit and finish, paint and panel gaps were darn near perfect, could not find a single issue so far. Not quite so in the 19. This was part of the Q3 rush of deliveries, made just days earlier. Just feels more...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    OD 9/2 and Vanilla Iceless was delivered 9/28, perfect in every way so far that I can tell. Forgot just how magical these cars are compared to the ancient ICE's. Love the white interior. The rep dropped her off at the house, Uber driver following her over, she was there less than one minute...

    OD 9/2, revised order 9/9 - DD 9/27 in PHX - They're really trying to pump out the Q3 deliveries.

    China Black M3P for $52k?

    It's also rear wheel drive, which probably accounts for some of the difference. Wish we had that option here. They also use a different standard to measure the range. But at least according to the translation they do call the performance, the Racing Package, can't do that here.

    Poll - Are you waiting for the infrastructure bill before ordering?

    My 3 EDD date is 9-24-30, I'm not taking delivery before the bill is voted on. Worth waiting a few months to get a 15% price cut. But with the 3 not having a price bump lately I'm guessing Elon will use this and the worldwide supply shortages as an opportunity to increase the price at least a...

    Poll - Are you waiting for the infrastructure bill before ordering?

    updates on whether it might be for sales after the bill passes, or retro to a date in the past?

    Model 3 Long Range is VERY Slow

    that's that's the time for the SR - sure you got the LR? You might need to change your user name if they can't figure it out.

    OD 9/2 and updated it on 9/8 EDD 9/18 to 9/30 M3LR White/White No September text yet - we get priority in AZ or just random assigning? Have a feeling I get pushed back to Q4.

    DIY PPF and Tint

    Trying to maybe save a few thousand $ - lots of video's on doing both, anyone tried DIY? Pre-cut PPF is pretty cheap and window tint is very cheap on Ebay. Mess it up and try again or take it somewhere if you can't get it to work. PPF on the front bumper seems the most challenging. Never done...

    My used 2013 P85 came with unlimited supercharging

    so you bought an 8 yr old car - what is your opinion on the current state of the car, fit and finish, how is the interior holding up, paint, battery, etc? How many miles on it?

    Ordering model Y

    Elon also said the manufacturing cost of the refreshed Y was higher with the stamping process, so maybe you'll have the option to buy it a higher price.

    Stupid question of the day ... AM radio...

    You can search for the AM station on Tune-In, then favorite it. The stations then show up on your radio screen. Because it's streaming it takes about 5 seconds to connect to the station. You'll most likely get a short ad that plays first, but the little secret is that if you press the...

    Front USB slots no longer working

    Mine stopped working after the firmware update last week, but the reboot fixed it - Put your foot on the brake, hold both buttons for 20 seconds. The brake apparently is a deeper reboot?

    AM Radio Available through update?

    Not available through the radio function. You can go to Tunein and search for your stations, save them as a favorite and hop back and forth between those and your radio FM favorites. I found most of mine in Tunein and it works fairly well.

    Is this tint price reasonable?

    I just got a quote on mine, for the 4 side windows at 30% Xpel it was $225. Anyone getting the top/back done? Not sure it's needed?

    Tesla side income?

    The Tesla is considered a luxury car with Uber so you get two times the normal rate. Think you could earn $1-$2 per mile so for putting in 5000 miles a year you could make a nice dent in the monthly payment. Plus you have little to no cost for fuel and can write off those miles?

    LR RWD Waiting Room

    Picking mine up on Saturday. Been debating if I wanted the AWD. Anyone wish they had gone with the AWD for more power (i think about 70 more hp) and handling? The range only suffers about 5-10% with the AWD.

    Plastidip Chrome Delete

    I used plastidip quite a bit on my motorcycles, and it would last for years, but over time it tends to flake and get scuffed when brushed against. Luckily it's pretty easy to completely peel off when needed with no lasting effects. Yes looks good.

    Bankrupt Tesla = Bricked Tesla?

    Not an owner yet, but hoping to be soon and have an almost forever car. Was just thinking about it, part of my decision making - Lots of concerns out there about their cash flows, ongoing operations, competition coming from every major auto maker. What if Tesla does fail, ceases...
