I'm very happy to hear there is a center closer to me (I'm in Shelby Twp). I have some small issues I've been meaning to have fixed since I picked up the car in September, but haven't had the time to setup mobile service. One of the things I think i need is an allighment check. The steering...

I'm going to say it's totalled because the rear end of the car is cost prohibitive to replace.... I see your bodyside sheetmetal is toast, the trunk structure is toast... there is almost certainly some significant underbody damage too. It would probably cost more to get this car back in shape...

I might have to sign up for TeslaFi... My Stealth AWD 3 is only 3 months old and only charges to 304 miles... seems like a lot of degredation for only 3 months and less than 3000 miles. I do charge to 90% daily, only supercharged twice, and only charged to 100% a handfull of times, got below...

I'm really curious to see this comparison. The numbers released yesterday look pretty close between the Model Y and Mach-E. Regardless which you prefer, competition is good for us consumers. I think Ford and Tesla each have some unique advantages. Ford has a dealer and service network...

nope. I got 2019.36.2.1 a couple days ago.

I would just like to add one thing... as a motorcycle rider, thank you for your head-check. In this instance it caused a fender-bender, but in others it could have saved a life.

+1. My P3D- is the best car I have ever owned by a wide margin. The cost of a BMW 3 series, faster than almost anything even double its price, operating costs less than the most economical sedans, cutting edge technology... I think they are a few years ahead of the industry. I hope their...

damn, you guys are a tough crowd.

Sorry about your accident.... Pure speculation here, but could it possibly be because the car was not pointed squarely at the car in front of you? I'm guessing the software may not use EAB when the car may avoid the obsticle. I had active cruise control in my Taurus SHO, and it was pretty...

It depends entirely on your preference, whether you enjoy spirited driving or prefer to be on the leading edge of autonomous driving. I had the same choice to make, and in my case, the biggest reason I was buying the car is because I loved driving it. Given that choice I opted to go with a...

mine took a long time to reset itself... but eventually did it on it's own.

Holy shitballs! I only pay about $0.10/kwh all day and night.

I would say you guys are on the loud-pedal... but since it's an EV, it's pretty quiet. lol. Joking aside, I think a big chunk of my gas savings is going to be spent on new skins for my stealth performance.

I'll admit my bias, I work in the automotive industry here in the US. I remember having a conversation with my colleges a year or so ago when Tesla was struggling to ramp up production on the 3... I was watching the situation, wondering if Tesla had bitten off more than they could chew (at the...

Right... He was comparing his opinion of his Model 3 vs his opinion of ? number of China Built Model 3's.... not a large sample size on either side, and nothing more than one guys opinion.... reported as factual data here.

One of my favorite things about the Tesla is that it is designed and made in the USA supporting our economy. I will avoid any car made in China if at all possible. I'm glad Tesla is building cars in China for the Asian market, but I hope they keep their manufacturing footprint in North America...

Where do you all store your J1772 adapter? I use mine frequently as I charge at work (free).... I've been storing it in the little well on the left side of the trunk area, but I find it clumsy to open the trunk and charger port, each time, not to mention when it's raining or snowing all the...

Sorry your feelings got an ouchie, Occar. I don't think anyone here has an issue with anyone disproving something, but IMHO it can and should be done without a sarcastic and insulting tone to the OP.

I don't understand why people have to be smug and negative here. Maybe this hack works, maybe it doesn't, but I'm glad people post this stuff because it is potentially helpful to us Tesla owners. If people are afraid of getting flamed for posting something maybe they won't, and then what's the...

I checked this morning, and it said it was available... I didn't have time to wait though, so I'll have to do it tonight. I'm glad to know about this hack though, I had been checking twice for the last week or so since I heard about the update. I'll try this next time. Thanks for the tip!

Possible unpopular opinion: As fun and quick as the Model 3 is on the road and at stop lights, I don't think it's well suited to being a race-car.... The demands on the battery in racing conditions are too severe... The battery heats up quickly and performance starts to fall off... after a few...

<----- still waiting to find out. :(

The new Vette looks incredible... so much bang for the buck! I think it's going to be a game-changer in the sports-car world.

I actually had the same OCD thought with the beach buggy game. :p

So far I have all the stock badging on the car (silver T's front and rear & Underlined "Dual Motor" badge). I think I might replace the sliver frunk T with a red one, and the rear T with red "TESLA" lettering. I think that would look good on white.

The model 3 is nothing more than an elaborate scheme to steal peoples tax credits... That Elon is diabolical!

Nobody held a gun to anyone's head to buy this car. Everyone who did it thought it was a good value at the time they made the decision. Now that they perceive that others got a better deal, tears are flowing... but this is no different than anything else. Since people payed $700 for the...

no doubt users have a right to complain, send feedback, even pursue compensation if some error in the system causes an accident.... however you will do so having signed up to be a "beta tester". Yes, companies absolutely use that to cover themselves when they are releasing/refining unproven...

I think Tesla has to do this... otherwise they could be held liable for anything that happened whether the fault of the system or not. This is the early days of this technology... it is still being developed, refined and error-proofed. I understand that and I'm happy to have Autopilot...

I completely disagree. Yes, the price came down, and yes there have been some changes, some that worked in your favor and some that didn't.... however this is how the market place works. If you buy a laptop today it will be cheaper in a year because a better, faster one will be available...

I replaced an older Ford Taurus SHO with 100,000 miles. When I was looking at a new Ford Edge, one Ford dealer offered me $5k for the car, another dealer offered me $6k. Tesla offered me $5200 (sight unseen, just a quote over the internet). I decided to sell on my own and got $7500 cash for...

Thank you guys so much... those suggestions are exactly what I was looking for. I owe each of you a beer.

Ok... let a noob ask a dumb Q. I charge at work sometimes. when the car is charged and I go to move it, the only way I can get the car to let go of the cord is by opening the app and going to charging/unlock charging port. unlocking the car doesn't release it, and there no button on the...

Looks awesome, Tommy! I ordered gloss, but your pics are making me second guess.... the matte on white looks phenominal!

I ordered mine on Oct 3rd and the website said 6-8 weeks.... based on the comments above I'll be surprised if I see it this year.

damn... white with the Chrome Delete kit with black or grey wheels looks so choice.

The grey wheels look great! BTW, I also noticed that they list 4 USBs in the Interior section of all the model 3's.... Did they add 2 or am I missing something?

The Gloss looks fantastic on the white! Awesome, Allen. Thanks for the pics.

....I must be setup wrong.... I have to confirm every time I open the frunk with the app, even when I'm standing right next to the car.

Looks great! Do you have any pics on your car? ...I ended up ordering one from RPM (gloss)... I think it will be another month or so before I get it.

Hmm.... I don't get notifications like that. Thank you though. I have notifications turned on for the app. ‍

Damn... I hope not!

Can someone elaborate on "expand the notification in Android"? I use Android, but not sure what that means.

I've ordered one, hoping to have it installed with 60 Amp service in the next couple weeks. I'm happy to hear people are running higher than 30 Amp service on them with no issues. Is one charger older than the other? Could it be the way the switches are configured inside the box?

Great post! Very useful info as I head into my first winter with the car. Thank you!

I know you are being sarcastic, but I do like Chill mode for when my new driver son is behind the wheel. I don't think anyone would be opposed to adding a "normal" mode like you stated, but in my opinion and it sounds like others here, "Sport" mode is very docile and easy to drive...

You are correct, I mis-spoke. I have a "Stealth Performance" 3 which has only "Sport" and "Chill" modes, no "Normal" or Standard". Sport is perfect for me.
