    Martian Wheels MW03 - New discussion thread

    Anyone have any data/opinion on 235 vs 245 tires in terms of efficiency? I got the Martian Wheels and now deciding on what size tires. I want to protect the rims more and have better handling with 245s but if there’s not an insignificant sacrifice in efficiency, then I might just stick with 235s.

    Fire evacuee, supercharging question

    Currently evacuated due to the Bond Fire in Silverado, CA. Now day #4. I know Tesla has unlocked free temporary supercharging for previous disasters in the past. Anyway we can get into contact with the Tesla team to see if they can help us evacuees with Teslas?

    Need help diagnosing clicking sound

    Hello all, I’ve been dealing with this noise for a couple of years now but I think it’s getting worse. I’ve tried to get it serviced a couple of times to no avail. The second time, SC replaced the check strap and they claimed it was fixed. Well, the sound continued. I told SC again and they...

    MASTER THREAD: 2019.36.2.1 - new HOLD mode and other features

    I’d like to ask another question... Do you guys feel/hear a slight rumble after the car goes into hold mode? Like 1-2 seconds after??

    MASTER THREAD: 2019.36.2.1 - new HOLD mode and other features

    It’s probably always been there. I noticed this earlier on when using TACC or autopilot last year and noticed that no one else was reporting it. Now that HOLD is available and more people are using it, it’s more noticeable. It is interesting that there are a couple of users who don’t hear this...

    MASTER THREAD: 2019.36.2.1 - new HOLD mode and other features

    The volume is quite variable, I think. On my sister’s car is noticeably quieter. Mine is more of soft “thunk.” By the way I brought this to the service center last year and they replaced the brake booster and it still happened. Basically they don’t know what’s causing it but because it’s in...

    MASTER THREAD: 2019.36.2.1 - new HOLD mode and other features

    I have always had a clicking coming from the brake and accelerator pedals with autopilot before when the car would come to a stop on its own at about 5 or less mph. Now, ever since I started using the new HOLD feature, every time the car goes to near stop, it clicks every time. Quite annoying...

    Need help with brakes grinding/squeaking noise

    I doubt this was it. I took it for several road trips since it started. In fact it got worse for the last couple of months. This is what I was told by someone from the SC but I knew it couldn’t be when it persisted despite intentionally using the brakes more for 6+ months

    How to tell if windshield is well-sealed?

    I fortunately (or more like unfortunately) have my sister’s 3 to compare to, and without doubt my car is much more poorly built compared to her car. I notice more wind noise in mine at higher speeds and I wonder if it might be a poor windshield seal? How can I tell for sure?

    Need help with brakes grinding/squeaking noise

    Hello all, I have an appointment tomorrow with Tesla to fix a sound every time I brake. It sounds more like a grind than a squeak. It started 1-2 months into ownership (picked up car Aug 2018) and was very prominent in the past 6 months. It’s been reported by multiple users already. Problem...

    Plastic vibration noise inside coming from dash area

    I had the same issue with a persistent static/rattle coming from the left speaker grill. It annoyed me like no other. I brute-forced a fix by hitting the pillars and the dash and it went away....for the time being. It is SERIOUSLY annoying to have so many build issues. I have a red VIN #...

    Unpopular Opinion: The 3 is a $30k car and was built as such

    I agree. Build quality is definitely poor for a $60 car. I had so many issues and continue to have them.

    This is why Sentry Mode rocks

    Problem with a sentry is that there are too many save files and it’s a pain in the arse to review hundreds and hundreds of video files.

    A new twist to the story...and it’s not a good one. But first off, I did go ahead and get the PPF installed. This has been a huge headache for me with a lot of time wasted.

    How bad is this orange peel?

    Need some more advice. If I were to ask Pomona body shop that I prefer to not go with them again and want to go to an outside shop, but they say no, what recourse do I have? Do I go to my insurance company? Problem is that my switched insurance in April and the accident was in November, and...

    How bad is this orange peel?

    Long story short, got into an accident, got front bumper replaced by Pomona body shop. One month later the paint starts to chip away at a small area. I went to Costa Mesa and they put me on the waitlist for the very reputable body shop right next door, which I preferred over going back to...

    Model 3 clicking sound near the rear wheel area

    Anyone got this fixed at Tesla Costa Mesa? They often say “within spec” there and I don’t want to waste my time. I started noticing it about 10k miles on right rear(?).

    You don’t think she needs the sideview mirror after that happened? Looks like you may be one of these bikers who slap people’s sideview mirrors. Here’s a direct quote from your PDF: When is it NOT OK to split? You should NOT lane split: - If you can't fit.

    What he did is dangerous though. My sister didn’t have use of her sideview mirror for a significant amount of time. It’s hard to let this guy keep doing this with impunity.
