    Order before March 1 or wait until end of Q1

    Yes, it was an inventory car.

    Yes, I got the ultra red for no additional charge!

    Really getting annoyed at Tesla - delivery experience

    Tesla corrected the expiration this morning!

    Order before March 1 or wait until end of Q1

    Just checked and Tesla has corrected the 10,000 mile expiration to 2 years! Hopefully everyone’s miles were corrected.

    Order before March 1 or wait until end of Q1

    Yes, I’ve got a screenshot showing the 2 year expiration as backup. I thought I might be an exception, but if others have the issue then it’s probably more likely Tesla will actually fix it for everyone. I will likely stop in to see what our sales advisor says.

    Really getting annoyed at Tesla - delivery experience

    And my 10,000 free SC miles for my March 9 MY purchase are shown as expiring in 6 months when the Tesla website says they’re good for 2 years. How will I ever get that corrected?

    Order before March 1 or wait until end of Q1

    We took delivery on MY with a trade in on March 9, 2024 (we also have a 2019 M3). This gave us 10,000 free SC miles. But my app shows that those miles expire in 6 months and the website says the miles are good for 2 years. I can’t find a way to get this changed via my app. Am I missing something?

    Supercharger — Colorado Springs, CO

    Wow - thanks for sharing. This is a key stop for us on our way south from Loveland.

    Automatic emergency braking is disable

    The warning popped up half way home yesterday on a 60 mile drive, and came on again today on a short drive. Am on 2022.28.2 - it doesn’t sound like 36.2 will fix it. Guess I have to wait for Tesla to fix it, too.

    Run Flat Tires for Model 3 - solution for lack of spare tire

    I’m out traveling in my Tesla, and I don’t have the exact tire, but they are Michelins.

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    I’ve lost 12% (273 of 310) range on my May 2019 M3 Long Range at 17,500 miles. According to the BatteryCompare app, that means only 13% of M3 LR at that mileage are worse than mine. Lifetime wH/m is 243. I use the Tesla HPWC and vary the charge randomly from 60% to 90%, but always keep it...

    Geico = gouge-co

    I switched to Progressive from Travelers (who raised my rates 20%; no accidents or anything, just “costs” went up) a couple of years ago. Each 6 months, Progressive has raised my rates about 3-4%. I haven’t had any accidents since changing to Progressive, so I don’t know what kind of service...

    Loveland CO Service Center

    The new service location will be convenient for those of us in Loveland and close surroundings, but I’m hoping I won’t actually have a need to visit there...😄. So far, so good for our M3.

    First road trip in my M3P

    We charged up in that Reno fenced lot yesterday (currently on a round trip from Denver to the SF Bay Area via I-80) and had the same issue. We drove around the block a couple of times before discovering the alleyway entrance to the lot opposite the garage. PlugShare information clearly explained...

    12V supply on 2021 M3

    There’s a 12v socket inside the central storage area between the front seats. You need to search for it, but it’s there.

    Supercharger - Monument, CO

    But it probably won’t be as slow compared to my last charge in the Springs parking garage where I had to wait with several others to get to a charger!

    Supercharger - Clayton, NM

    That’s my philosophy as well. We’ll be sure to patronize the businesses going in both directions (to/from Colorado and Texas).

    Sentry Mode future updates

    Definitely good, useful improvements, but they’re probably low on the priority list.

    Teslafi vs Nikola vs Stats

    I’ve been really pleased with Stats. It’s easy to use and provides useful data as well as additional control features (eg, disable sentry mode on approach so it doesn’t record you returning to the car, smart heating/cooling, great widget, Apple Watch controls, etc). The developer continually...

    Why should I get a 3 instead of a Y?

    If you’re planning to sleep in the car, the Y is a much better choice. Overall, I think if you take long trips, the Y’s utility also makes it more advantageous. Other than those two significant items, I prefer the 3.

    Model 3 2021.4.12 update bug

    I just updated the Tesla app to 3.10.10, then updated the Tesla software version from 2021.4.11 to 2021.4.12. While it was updating, I started reading the forums to if others were getting the update. By the time I found this thread, the software completed the update. Thankfully I had no issues...

    SALEENA is the license plate on the offending car. Is there a clerk there with that name?

    Supercharger - Clayton, NM

    We drive the CO-TX route through northwest NM regularly and with the strong winds, altitude gain (going west), snow and lack of dependable chargers along the route, it’s always a worry if we can make it. It’s a definite 100% charge route...

    No way to get to Carlsbad Caverns?

    I was interested in visiting Carlsbad Caverns at some point as well. Here’s a link to someone who made the trip which sheds some light on what it involved. I’d have an easier time of it with my LR AWD M3 than the OP of the trip with a MX. I agree that we could use more SC’s in that area! White...

    Supercharger - Clayton, NM

    We’ve driven the Tucumcari stretch to Trinidad several times and haven’t needed the Las Vegas stop at all. Of course, it depends on weather conditions, but I would think a MX should be able to safely make that distance.

    Supercharger - Kremmling, CO - Park Avenue

    dgpcolorado, that’s an impressive list of equipment - thanks for the useful information! Someday, with enough superchargers, we’ll hopefully avoid the need to carry extra equipment. In the meantime, though, it’s a good idea to have the most commonly needed accessories (and I’m using your list...

    Boy Scouts could take advice from you on being prepared. I bet you also carry various charge adapters and extension cords, too!

    Thanks for the update, Chuck! We’ve been waiting for the supercharger to open to do some hiking, camping and exploring in the area.

    Road Trip - Round trip San Jose, CA to Fort Collins, CO

    What a timely post! Our son lives near San Jose and we live just outside of Fort Collins (Loveland). We’ve been contemplating your trip in reverse directions. It’s good to know that the trip sounds fairly easy in the Model 3. Ours is white, so those suicidal bugs will be clearly displayed on...

    2020.16.2.1 killed my LTE connection

    Likewise, no LTE problems after update a few days ago (April 2019 build); also no other anomalies yet after 150 miles of driving.

    Alarm went off when in car!

    Similar situation here. I called the local pizza place for a pickup order. My wife and I jumped into the Tesla, drove to the store and parked in front of the store. Importantly, she left her phone at home. With the coronavirus situation, the pizza place had a big sign in the front door with a...

    Model 3 with 5 bikes

    Great set-up - I wouldn’t have believed it without the pictures! I’m still trying to figure out how to transport our tandem on our M3.

    Want to buy a Model 3, insurance is crazy expensive

    I also switched to Progressive in Colorado 6 months ago with similar savings. My first renewal bill in May is up almost 20% (before any COVID-19/no-driving credits). Shopping around indicates the new rate is now comparable to other companies (no longer a “better” price).

    Phone Key Keeps Disconnecting

    My wife got a new iPhone SE and set it up as a new key - no problems. Four days later, my iPhone X disconnected as a key and nothing I did worked. I tried everything I could think of numerous times: turned Bluetooth off and on, signed out and in of the Tesla app, rebooted the car, deleted and...

    Exactly the same situation for me. I hope miles are extended, but am ok without an extension.

    2020.8.3 just updating

    I think the poster meant that you should go to the “Software” choice on the main screen (the last item on the left side of the main touchscreen). If you select that, it will check for any updates right away. I’ve found that doing this can sometimes bring an update much sooner than waiting for...

    2020.8.3 just updating

    Ah, ok. I moved to a new build house which is neither on Tesla’s map or on Google maps (but is on Apple Maps). That means my home address is wrong, and I was hoping a new map would have my address. I’ve tried six times to have Google update their maps with my house, but no luck as yet. In the...

    2020.8.3 just updating

    Just updated from 2020.4.1 to 2020.8.3 as well. No issues with update, but did notice that the Navigation map looks like an old version and wasn’t updated as I expected. I think the current Map database is 2020.12-11866, but I show having 2019.20-10487. When/how does the Map update?

    Best Car Insurance for New Model 3?

    I got a good rate on my new Tesla a year ago, but the renewal rate went up 50%. I shopped 15 insurers and Progressive was by far the lowest, but I now have a $100 deductible on glass. The best bet is to shop around - YMMV. we’ll see if Progressive’s renewal rate increases like my previous company.

    Form 8911 is now available (Feb 6, 2020) on the IRS website (https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8911.pdf). The form can be used for both 2019 and 2018.

    Form 8911 now shows up on the IRS website ( https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8911.pdf ) - as of 2/6/20, but instructions aren’t updated. I think most people can complete the form anyway. The form doesn’t show 2019 on the upper right because it can also be used for 2018 (for amended 2018...
