    MyQ won’t open garage, mostly closes OK

    I ordered the HomeLink adapter and have an appointment to install it next Saturday. I wanted MyQ to work because it’s the more technical solution and actually knows if the door is open or closed, but the implementation just doesn’t work in practice. Maybe in time they’ll figure out how to make...

    MyQ won’t open garage, mostly closes OK

    The whole system is screwy. I've been using it since March and it's 50/50 at best. If I leave the LTE setting to default then it almost never closes because the handoff as soon as you put the car in Reverse breaks the connection. I then switched over to "stay connected to wifi" mode and it...

    Best All Season Tire?

    They're certainly a LOT quieter than the Pilot Sports, but I'm not sure I'm going to be a good judge of performance any time soon. The suspension on the newer M3P is awful compared to my old 2019. It's so soft and floaty. I hate it. Thinking about getting it redone, but need to find a shop...

    Charge port not opening with button on wand

    Damn, if that's true I should have just kept the old one. 😕

    Charge port not opening with button on wand

    The car definitely isn’t locked. I get out of the car and the charger wand is hanging on the wall right next to my driver door. I also set the car to not lock at home and programmed my home address. The same setup and technique worked perfectly 99% of the time on my old car. So something with...

    Charge port not opening with button on wand

    I had a 2019 M3P for the last 3.5 years and used the mobile charger as my primary garage charging. When I got home I'd grab the wand off the wall, push the button, turn around and the port on the car would be open and ready for me to plug in. Worked great. Unfortunately it was a lease so I had...

    MyQ Issues

    This is my experience so far. Opening has worked 100% of the time, but closing has only worked once in the last 4 days. i'm wondering if there is some issue with the LTE waking up and connecting. I have had similar issues with music, but it's not directly correlated because it still fails to...

    New M3P have lowered suspension?

    Money is not really a major concern for me, and I like the idea of being able to adjust it myself if I decide I want it stiffer or softer. Need to look around and see if there are any shops in my area with experience doing Teslas.

    New M3P have lowered suspension?

    I'd really like to do something to get me back to the height and feel of the 2019 M3P. I really don’t like how the new one feels. There is just too much body lean in a fast corner. In my old one I could whip around a corner at 50mph like it was on rails. The new one feels like it's going to tip...

    Best All Season Tire?

    I had Pilot Sport AS on my 2019 M3P and they weren’t great. They were a bit squirrelly in the snow and they were LOUD on the highway. I'm having some Hankook ION EVO AS put on my new 2023 M3P tomorrow. I've got my fingers crossed they handle at least as well as the Pilot Sports but with a...

    New M3P have lowered suspension?

    I just returned my leased 2019 Model 3 Performance and picked up a new 2023 Model 3 Performance. The higher ride height is annoying. I liked that the old one was low and sporty. This one feels more like my 2016 BMW 340i, which I didn’t really care for. I'm sure I'll get use to it, but I really...

    Picked up mine today. Looks good, but it's raining so I couldn't inspect it that thoroughly.

    Took delivery of Model 3 without payment.

    There is probably some other guy out there insist he paid and they’re telling him he still owes. 😁

    Ugh, pushed again. Now the 21st. Lease return is the 22nd so they’re cutting it close.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    My delivery has been scheduled for next Sunday. (Reno, NV) I'm not sure the exact order date, because there was some confusion about unlocking an order I placed last year, but I think it finally got unlocked on Feb 22. So only about 2.5 weeks from order to delivery.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    This happens with most cars. But in some places, especially California, Teslas are literally everywhere. They've been outselling Toyota in CA so you're more likely to se a another Model 3 than you are to see a Camry.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    There isn’t an official option to extend the lease any more. It has to go back on March 22.* I don’t have another car to use. So I'd have to rent one, which around here costs $50/day. That adds up fast. * I have since contacted tesla leasing and they said they could work with me to extend the...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    "I'm screwed" is a reference to my situation, as in not having a car. Although it is entirely their fault. I told them to unlock my order on 1/23 and they didn’t. I could also miss out on part of the tax rebate because of this if the IRS decides to change the rules Next week.
  22. Dan203

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I already did that extension. March 22nd is the end of the 6 month extension. I did contact Tesla and they said they would work with me on a one month extension if the new one doesn’t come in time.
  23. Dan203

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    There is no option to extend and no option to buy it out. I have to return it on March 22 no matter what. So if I don’t have the new one then I have no car. I'll have to rent one until the new one comes.
  24. Dan203

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I finally got an estimate… 3/4-3/18 My lease has to be returned on 3/22 so if they slip I'm screwed. 🤞

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I already did the extension. My original lease expired in September. I did the 6 month extension and that expires in March. There are no more extensions and no option to buy. I have to give it back March 22 whether I have the new one or not. If my new one isn’t ready I'm going to have to rent...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Instill donn't have an EDD despite ordering 1/23. Blue/Black. Now I'm starting to worry I may not get it before my lease ends on March 22 and I have to return my current one. 😕 Do we think they're holding back now because they’re transitioning to the new HW4 platform?
  27. Dan203

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I technically ordered mine back in October, but I knew my lease was expiring in March so they put it on hold. I had them unlock the order on 1/23 but still don’t even have an EDD. 😕 Was hoping to get it before March in case there is a change to the tax credit, but now just hoping I get it...

    Electricity Cost Spikes

    We got a lot of snow here this year. And the snow just slid off my panels, despite it hanging around on the rest of my roof. But we’re talking about 2-3' not 25'.

    Electricity Cost Spikes

    You have the Time of Use EV plan. I'm on the flat rate plan that is 10¢ all the time 24/7. I did a one year trial of the ToU plan when I first got the Tesla but after a year it had cost several hundred dollars more, because of the 54¢ in the summer, so I switched back.
  31. Dan203

    Electricity Cost Spikes

    Only 10¢/kWh here in N. NV. Extremely cheap compared to gas, which is like $4.50/gal here.

    Tesla Total Loss - Looking at Options, everything murky, looking for guidance

    I read somewhere that the 3s still have USS and that they've only been removed from the Ys, but can’t confirm. My lease on my 2019 is up in March so I have a new one on order right now. I'll find out soon whether they’re there and how bad it is if they’re not.

    Back in the queue

    Last time I ordered a Model 3 Performance was August 2019. It took about 6 weeks from Order to delivery. I leased it, and since they don't have a buy out option, I have to get a new one. Even with the 6 month extension my lease is up at the end of March, so today I placed my order. I was going...

    Discussion: Model 3 Price reductions - Jan / April / Oct 2023 and all other pricing discussions

    The numbers at most dealerships are just made up. The MSRP and the dealer "cost" basically mean nothing. They make most off their money of service, trade-ins and financing kickbacks. The actual sale of cars is secondary, which is why some actually use them as loss leaders. If they can give you a...

    Discussion: Model 3 Price reductions - Jan / April / Oct 2023 and all other pricing discussions

    The price for the M3P is exactly what I paid in September 2019. My red M3P was $56,990 which is exactly what it costs under these new price cuts.

    Discussion: Model 3 Price reductions - Jan / April / Oct 2023 and all other pricing discussions

    I actually had a red one on order, but on hold until Feb 1st as my lease expires at the end of March. I just changed the order to blue instead. I like the red, but it's essentially an $8,500 option now and I can't justify that.

    Discussion: Model 3 Price reductions - Jan / April / Oct 2023 and all other pricing discussions

    It's more realistic. In 2016 I bought a BMW 340i xDrive with M Sport Package and all options. Paid about $63k for it. 3 years laster, with just 16k miles on it, I sold it for $28k to buy my Model 3 Performance. That’s how much regular luxury cars depreciate . Now that Tesla is pumping out a...

    Vendor Official Tessie app talk

    What about allowing the user to create custom sequences on your server and then having the Alexa phrase be something like… "Alexa, Ask Tessie Control to execute preset 1” and have the number parsed as a parameter, like a temperature value? Then on your end you can process that request using the...

    Vendor Official Tessie app talk

    I just signed up, specifically to use the Alexa skill, but it doesn't quite do what I'd like. I'd like to combine multiple functions into a single routine. For example I'd like to create one where I say "Alexa, warm up the car" that will turn on climate, set the temp to 72, turn on the seat...

    Lease end...

    Does anyone know what they charge you if you fail to return the mobile connector at the end of the lease? I use this as my primary form of charging, and they're currently out of stock, so I was thinking about just keeping the one I have and paying the penalty as long as it's close to the cost of...

    Will Tesla ever offer Lease buyout?

    I wasn’t worried about losing money, I was just trying to minimize the loss. If you're going to get a new car every 3-4 years anyway you'll, normally, lose less money with a lease. If ypu keep a car for 6-7 years then buying is better. But that’s using typical depreciation of 50%+, obviously in...

    Will Tesla ever offer Lease buyout?

    When I did mine in Summer 2019 the option to sell to another dealer was still available, so I assumed that if it did hold it's value I could just sell it to CarMax or similar and pocket the difference. They removed that option last December. 😕 There was also no guarantee that a Tesla would...

    The two had the exact same $4,500 down payment. The 10,000 is miles, not dollars. 🙄

    Will Tesla ever offer Lease buyout?

    I leased because I bought my previous BMW for $68k, drove it for 3 years and just 16k miles and then sold it for $28k. 😱 I figured if I was going to get a new car every 3-4 years anyway, might as well lose less money doing so. No one could have predicted we'd have a global pandemic that would...

    Model 3 Steering Wheel Squeaking

    So mine has been doing this for years, but it was mostly when it was cold and it wasn't that bad so I just ignored it. But over the summer it started getting worse, and happening in the heat, so I finally took it in to service a few weeks ago. They tried lubricating everything and told me it was...
