I was just looking through my local Menards ad and they are selling a Steering Wheel Tray, that looks like what a few Tesla vendors are selling, for $2.99 after $7.00 rebate. ($9.99 when purchased and then you mail-in the receipt for a $7.00 Menards credit). Even the $9.99 without the rebate is...

I picked up my Model 3 LR a couple of months ago and I'm just now noticing that the Tesla "T" on the touchscreen that is supposed to the right of the outside temperature indicator, see attached picture, does not show up on mine. It was on my 2019 Model 3 cause I used it a few times as the...

A recent article has the Tesla Model 3 now with a range of 382 miles. Anyone have any further updates then the Fortune article (dated May 2, 2021) that talks about this? I'm still seeing 353 miles of range for the Model 3 AWD version on Tesla's website. The 600 club: These electric vehicles are...

I'm sure there are several things that stick out in this article but I noticed two right away. One... why are they charging to 100% at Tesla Superchargers at every stop. From all that I've read that's not an efficient way to charge on long trips. Two... they list the battery capacity spec at...

Curious question if anyone knows. Whose responsibility is it to clear/clean the heavily snow covered parking areas around the Tesla Super Chargers for the ones located in the northern states and Canada? Does Tesla have snow plow businesses available to contact for these situations or is it the...

EV fast-charging network across Iowa From the articles date of July 2019 ... The company plans to build publicly accessible direct current fast-charging stations, with two charging plugs per station, in 15 urban and rural communities. A DC fast-charger, also called a “Level 3” charger, can...

I stopped and charged at the Terre Haute SC in Indiana a couple of times over this past weekend. I noticed on my receipt that I was charged $0.13 min for Power Tier 1 and $0.26 min for Power Tier 2. All of my other receipts have just the Power Tier 1 rate/charge. Any insights as to why this is...

I have a 2019 Model 3 LR AWD and I usually keep my car plugged in to follow the motto .."a happy Tesla is a plugged in Tesla", but yesterday after I made a lunch run (I went from 80% battery to 77%) I forgot to plug my car back in upon parking back in my non-heated garage. Temps were in the...

Some folks may already know this but I just stumbled across it today. I pressed and held my finger, for five to six seconds, over the Tesla logo at the top center of the screen display. When I did this it presented a pop up box asking for an access code to proceed. Obviously it’s not an Easter...

I just received my V10 upgrade on my Aug 2019 build LR AWD Model 3 and today I noticed that all of my tires are set to 42 psi. Prior to my upgrade my tires were set to 45 psi since delivery at the end of August even though my driver door panel says it should be 42 psi.. So, is it possible that...

What's the standard/general practice, for using Valet mode and top speed parameters, for setting limits when taking your Model 3 to local businesses for getting work done? Examples could be...getting windows tinted, tires switched out, car wrapped, etc. Does the Valet mode have usable limits...

What's the standard/general practice for setting limits with your Model 3 when getting work done? Examples could be...getting windows tinted, tires switched out, car wrapped, etc. Does the Valet mode have limits with in it that work in most of these cases or is there a way to use Valet mode in...

I know the advice is to leave the car plugged in everyday, as a daily driver, when its parked but what about when it's not going to be used for a few days. I.E. kind of like when folks drive to the airport and come back a few days later. Yes, I have other cars (non EV) that, for now, we utilize...

I take out my USB stick every so often to clear up space. I noticed this morning that while I was transferring the files to my PC that under the Saved Clips folder it had saved files from Aug 28, 29, 30. Are the saved files automatic and does Tesla ( via some software code) pick which ones to...

So, when not in use is the protocol to leave the adapter and cable plugged into the outlet or unplug it? When mine is plugged in the Tesla letters display a green color which, I’m guessing, is still drawing power even though it’s not plugged into the car. If it’s ok to leave plugged in, then...

I had an electrician put in a 14-50 NEMA outlet in my garage today. After he was finished I decided to test it out by putting my limit slider to 100%. I'm getting 30mrph and my Model 3 got to the 310 mile limit and sent me a text that said charge complete. So, not knowing if I'll ever see it at...

Just picked up my Tesla Model 3 LR AWD a few days ago. So far, it rides nice and the seats are comfortable. But, even though it hugs the road it kind of feels stiff to me. Maybe it’s supposed to and I’m just not used to they way Tesla’s feel. I was previously driving a 2018 Dodge Charger and it...

I just picked up my LR AWD Model 3 and I have a question for those who may know. I don't get my 14-50 NEMA install until August 30th so I'm stuck with using the garage 120v until then. I plugged it up when I got home and it started charging with the indicator telling me that it was 12/12a and...

I'll be getting my LR AWD M3 in a couple of weeks and from what I've been reading I've been looking at three different home charging options. My daily driving during the week will be around 40 miles per day. Of course, the first option is to stick with the basic 120V house plug in that probably...

After reading these forums over the past couple I finally ordered my LR AWD white on white M3 on July 28th. Now the long waiting process begins. I'm getting a few estimates, over the next couple of days, for having an electrician install a 14-50 NEMA outlet in my garage. I was able to get away...
