    New Model Y Purchase Observations

    I just picked up my Ultra Red, white interior, 20" wheel, tow hitched model Y on March 26th. I am coming from a 2018 Model 3 LR RWD. Here are some things I have noticed. Every input is heavier or requires more force on the Y. The accelerator, steering, braking and maybe even touch screen...

    High mileage check-in

    I bought my 2018 used from Tesla and they added extra miles to the warranty and lifetime data. I have made good use of the warranty. I am sitting at 144,000 miles at the moment.

    NEW Model 3 Highland review!

    I am dating myself here. When I went to get my driver's license in1981 (yikes) My stepdad said I could take his car to do my test in. I almost failed the test because I could not figure out how to turn the bright and low beams on. All of my previous experiences had the high beam button on the...

    changing headlights on model 3

    I bought a set off of ebay, twice. First set one failed again after a few months. The 2nd was from a newer model year and revision but still the old style.

    Supercharger - Alvarado, TX

    That exit closest to the supercharger is often backed up very far. Not as bad now that traffic signals were implemented. Maybe that was a factor.

    changing headlights on model 3

    I have replaced my headlights twice and never had to do a software update. Stupid accent strip failed on original and first replacement set.

    Frunk opening randomly

    My frunk was opening randomly recently. I think my Tesla widget (android) was the culprit. I would open the frunk from the widget on my home screen and later find that the frunk had opened again. I think the command was being re-sent when the widget refreshed. I now only open the frunk once the...

    Let Tesla replace Dash Pad?

    I have a 2018 (March build) Model 3 RWD with 117,200 miles. I have had work done on several occasions and have had it all done at the same service center. They have treated me well and usually resolve issues with work done. Problem is, there are often issues. Control arms done twice. Once under...

    Differences in these LED sequential turn signal fog lights

    Did you hook up the blinker portion? If so, how does it affect the tesla light shows? Can you upload a video sample of a light show playing with these installed? That would be very helpful, thanks.

    Rear Drive Unit Failed

    They did a test drive. But didn't have a problem apparently. It was certainly in a different place when I picked it up. They took care of me. The car has over 100,000 miles on it and not babied at all.

    Anyone sleeping in their M3 tonight to avoid the heat?

    I have slept in my M3 when having a large amount of family spending the night at my home. 4 in-laws, 5 nieces, and two grandkids. I slept like a baby in my silent cocoon of solitude. Camp mattress and two pillows and I was set.

    Time to replace upper-control arm ball joints

    I picked it up and all is good. They explained that when the steering angle was adjusted that the car computer was not updated and it was trying to compensate for the difference, hence the pull to the right. They replaced both sides and I paid $183 for both control arms (parts cost) and $115...

    Car was still pulling to the right after that alignment. That is why they kept it. Weird.

    Time to replace upper-control arm ball joints

    I am now at 102,586 miles and my squeak has come back with a vengeance. Went from nothing to very loud all at once. Service center charging me to replace both, I agreed. After the work was done they said I needed an alignment because the steering wheel was off center.. They did one. Now they...

    Undercarriage mat hanging down

    I just installed the aluminum ones myself. Ordered from RPM Tesla. Ordered 4/29 and received 6/20. I got both the front and back. Back one installed quickly and easily. I left the front OEM one on and installed the new one over it. I could not get the two nuts on the front to install with both...

    Unnecessary acceleration ticket

    I am a fast driver. I am not a reckless driver. I usually incur about 1 speeding ticket per year. I consider it a driving tax. I have a clean driving record. Here is what I do: Be polite and courteous and even friendly with the officer. I keep my hands on the wheel until he approaches and asks...

    Time to replace upper-control arm ball joints

    I had both sides replaced on my 3/2018 build back in July. 41,600 miles at the time. Only the right was squeaking but they replaced both. My local DFW service center has been pretty good. I am sitting at 47,900 miles now and am trying to make sure I get any issues addressed. As of now, just a...

    New Tires with Higher Efficiency?

    I just purchased a set of these and had to return them. I had the original Continentals on my 19" wheels and liked them. New set vibrated and were noisy from the start. Went back to Discount Tire and had them re-balance. Two of the tires would not balance due to being out of round? Rep said...

    12v battery must be replaced soon

    Mobile service came back out and was able to fix the windows / steering wheel issues in about 5 minutes. Just a more robust re-calibration it sound like. All good now.

    Installed Matt Shumaker's Driver Centric Screen Mount: photos

    Very nice. I have to say that I really like the reduction in reflections with the new tilt and angle. Much better than stock. Prior to this install, I was looking into getting window covers to get rid of reflections from the passenger side windows when I am stationary and watching videos and...

    Installed Matt Shumaker's Driver Centric Screen Mount: photos

    Worth the price? I say yes, my wife says no. She says the same for all my mods though. For me it was worth the price. Had a friend sit in it and he wants one for his model 3.

    Installed Matt Shumaker's Driver Centric Screen Mount: photos

    After driving for a few days I have to say that I really like this modification.

    Installed Matt Shumaker's Driver Centric Screen Mount: photos

    It is noticeably lower and It looks less like it was just tacked on the dash with a wall mount. I can see much more of the dash than before. I was a little worried that the speed would be less in my field of view but after driving I found it to be fine. The only issue I have noticed is that the...
