    Help with new pressure washer!

    I'm not to sure what a lighter PSI would be. 2000psi? I was told by the guy at Lowes to just make sure I keep it at an angle and dont shoot straight at the paint and keep it a good distance away. What do you mean by run the fuel out? Sorry btw, I'm super noob :D Should I just fill it up a bit...

    Help with new pressure washer!

    Hello everyone. I've found threads on this on different forums but I find such a vast gap between opinions. I just bought a gas pressure washer today, 3000 psi and ~2.4 gpm, 25 degree nozzle and an MTM Hydro Pf22. I was wondering what PSI I should use with the 25 degree nozzle when washing or...

    Starting to regret my purchase

    My Model 3 was just delivered this past Monday. I had to clean the interior because there was a blue adhesive-ish gunk on my center console and the plastic around it. The gunk on the plastic cleaned right off with some interior cleaner. The one on the console came off mostly but there it seems...

    How will full self driving handle this ?

    Hey guys a little off topic but do you need enhanced autopilot to summon your car? I take delivery on Monday and I was wondering if I could get it to summon out of the harbor when I pick it up haha

    Petition Tesla to make the Model 3 Performance 0-60 <3s

    The Taycan is 3x the price of a Model 3. Tesla could probably care less about whether the Taycan is faster or not. If the battery output was stronger they would definitely consider doing it to the S and make the upgrade coincide with the Taycan launch date to boost S sales and to troll Porsche.

    PSA: Empty your flash drive..

    Sorry for your situation :( I'm going to use a HDD for sentry and thumbstick for driving. Is it possible to have both plugged in the port and choose which to use when switching between sentry and dashcam? I'm taking delivery of my Model 3 in two weeks so this is probably something I should know.

    Basenor wind noise reduction kit makes a very positive difference

    TBH the Quiet Seal kit is so easy to install you can do it with your penis. You dont need a left arm for that. In fact get rid of your arm I'm sure Elon Musk will be making prosthetics soon enough. You can use your robotic arm to integrate with your car. In fact get rid of your penis too, wait...

    Chademo Lvl 3 charge rate, price, worth it?

    Ah okay. Thanks! I've already ordered a Tesla Wall Connector and was thinking about returning it when it gets here to get the Chademo adapter. I guess I might just install the 60amp wall connector. I didnt want to because of the price per kwh here. Its like 33 cents but whatever. Still saving a...

    Air fresheners for Model 3

    Just wondering, would the two of you buy more scent wedges if it didnt rattle around in the dash and could be replaced for half the price and lasted longer? I was going to buy these just based on how it looks, I like the wood look but now I'm happy I forgot to order them while ordering all my...

    Chademo Lvl 3 charge rate, price, worth it?

    Thank you so much for the in depth explanation and details! :D Unfortunately Plugshare doesnt show the exact specs of any of the Chademos on my island. This one just says level 3 next to it. And yeah, I posted 700 miles because I actually drive about 600, but was factoring in AC and driving like...

    Chademo Lvl 3 charge rate, price, worth it?

    I have 4 Chademo chargers 5 min down the road from where I live. It says that it is level 3 charging but I see so many varying experiences as to how much and how fast it will charge. I cant find anything online as to whether there are different amps for different Chademo level 3 stations. The...

    You mean except? Not mocking being serious, I want to know this too. I'd like to put a consumer grade ceramic coating on my car and was going to put it on the windshield and rear. Should the rear window be left alone too?

    Checking out a Used Model 3

    Lol jeez man dont scare OP out of buying a used one. I'd rather not buy a used Tesla either but my friend got about $6 off for every mile that was on it and still had years on the warranty so he is happy with it. I love Rich's channel but just lay out the cons instead of straight up telling OP...

    Checking out a Used Model 3

    What's your price range? Please keep the remaining warranty in mind when buying a used Tesla. The warranty is exponentially more important on a Tesla due to repairs being done out of warranty are way more expensive than repairing a gas guzzler. I just got done with ordering my new Model 3...

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    Lol so if a Model 3 gets 200-250 miles when driving however you want not paying attention to efficiency, how many miles does the competition get? Most ev's from other manufacturers are ADVERTISED as 200-250 max right? Do they even get 150?

    Help a baboon calculate his Model 3 cost and choose a home charging option? :D

    So I'm hoping that my estimated cost for kwh is only high because I'm using electricity during peak hours. If its cheaper for me to use electricity from noon onwards I might just charge my car for 4 hours during that time. I'm thinking the cost is about 11-15 cents kwh during that time compared...

    Why are Geiko and Progressive's comprehensive coverage so low compared to others?

    Nopeeee XD I will be starting from square one again as I moved from California back to Hawaii. I'm just sticking with State Farm because I had my last car repaired many times reliably and always had a good rental car available. That being said I've never caused anything worse than a scratch or a...

    Few concerns from new owner

    Look at the how the pillars and the coverage of the Macan compared to the Model 3. I cant tell if you're serious. The Model 3 is basically just glass. I personally would like the Macan style giving the amount of viewing angle provided to provide a hard sliding roof. But the Model 3 roof is...

    Few concerns from new owner

    Not sure how you'd include a sliding cover on a panoramic roof. Dont get me wrong, I dont need a panoramic roof either but you're a weirdo if you're asking for a sliding hardcover on a roof that is basically all glass. I agree with the spare tire situation, but it was only in the last few years...

    Model 3 paint wearing off

    Model 3 paint wearing off

    Few concerns from new owner

    I'm taking delivery of my Model 3 in a few weeks. As soon as I was approved for finance I order everything I'd need for the car, including sunshades.

    Model 3 paint wearing off

    Sand and pebbles but I was hoping the mud flap would take care of that. I havent seen any damage on the flare by the rear wheel on photos on this forum yet, but I will definitely consider covering it too now. I think I'll probably just by another roll instead of the precut. BTW, I was going to...

    Help a baboon calculate his Model 3 cost and choose a home charging option? :D

    Gas is only ~$3.20-3.40 here. It might be cheaper than a lot of places in the mainland right now. When I first got a car in high school ~06 or 07 gas was $5/gal aha. I was just in LA and gas is cheaper here than what it is in LA and SFV. XD Thanks for the thorough reply :D I think I'm just...

Would the chademo be a better option? Here is the chademo membership rates on Maui. Join EVohana - By Jumpsmartmaui I drive...
