Many thanks to TeslaBC and all the Tesla LightShow contributors for the fun new feature of customizing light shows. Maybe it was all the JWBs I drank on New Years Eve but I woke up in a cold sweat dreaming of my autopilot (TACC) failing on my M3P and crashing me into a tree, by disabling my...

Last week I drove by a mall and saw a BMW (3 series) wrapped in bright green color. Highlighter green. At a quick glance it made me think that may be an interesting color for a Tesla Model 3. Well low and behold what I drove by yesterday? Highlighter Green Tesla Model 3 Performance. Is this...

Well, I should of known this day would come. After 2 years with my Model 3 Performance, Porsche is tempting me to shift from Tesla to a Taycan Turismo (wagon). Is showing up on my local Porsche Dealer configuration for $120K CDN (~$90K USD). Tesla friends help me resist the temptation: Pros...

Just got the notification this afternoon and now installing. Will share any notes I see after the update. Located in Toronto, Canada

Okay made you look, but I'm contemplating trading in my Tesla Model 3 Performance for a new ('21) Model S Performance and wondering which car is faster. I know the Model SP is faster in a perfect situation but how about on the real world streets, traffic light run? I.e. Without engaging...

I'm in a bit of a pickle. Ever since I bought my Model 3 last year my wife has been nagging me on why I didn't buy a Model S instead. She liked the Model S better, while I liked saving the money (and having newer technology). I "accidentally" submitted a Tesla quote for trade-in for my 2019...

My brother-in-law came over the past weekend to show off his new Hyundai truck. It was nice but I was not so impressed with most of the software features, all except one. He had a push to talk/paging button on his stereo. When activated, the car would mute the music and then use the built-in...

Just received update 2020.28.5 last night for my Model 3. Installed and noticed the notes indicate that red light/stop sign automatic braking feature now has +5mph or +10km/hr in our cars. It also includes Portuguese language support. For Canadians eagerly waiting this update should make the...

For years I've seen old folks driving along (usually in their Caddys) with the signal going but not turning. I always marked it up to old age or forgetfulness, but I've done the same thing in my Tesla about 3-4 times in last 6 months. I haven't really had this problem with other cars. I usually...

Does anyone feel that their Model 3 brakes very late when in traffic on city streets with auto pilot? I didn't notice this problem until most recently but when my car is doing 60-80 km/h (~40-50 mph) I get nervous and feel like it's going to slam into the back of stopped traffic. I can see the...

I was thinking about the "Cheetah" mode for Model S and how a similar launch mode could be (easily) built for the Model 3. With the Model S, you can use the air suspension to lower the front (may raise the back) just before launching. On the Model 3 we don't have air suspension but cheaper...

For my fellow Canucks stuck at home, itching to work on their Teslas (I.e. switch to summer tires), Costco has the QuickJack BL-7000SLX on sale on line for $1499.99 shipped. Not the cheapest it's ever been but if you're looking for a jack for a home garage this should work...

Bored and finding new problems before they happen, I was placing papers in my M3 glovebox and it got me thinking. If I keep my registration/insurance in the glovebox of my M3, how do I open the glove box if an accident made the car inoperable? For example, M3 loses power or center screen is...

I had a spare GPS enabled HUD display sitting around (for my other car) and decided to rough it into the Model 3. It's an Amazon special cheapy unit, about $30, that only needs USB power to run. Been using it for 2 days and haven't decided if it'll stay or I'll just remove it. From my...

Love my Model 3 but the ergonomics of getting into the car are giving me second thoughts. I'm 6'2" (~250lbs) and whenever I get into the car I constantly hit me ribs on the door frame/seat belt ledge. My trick now is to put a hand on the ledge so I don't hit it so hard. Any other tall/large...

I've been trying for the past week to get my reservation in for the Cybertruck and keep getting a "Payment was declined, please check with your provider" message. I tried two different cards (MC and VISA) and also different computers (Work & Home) with no luck. Anyone else having similar...

Been lurking for a couple weeks but finally signed up and will post more frequently. I picked up one of the last few unicorns in Canada, ordering at end of August and got a Model 3 Performance stealth on September 5th. Car is metallic white, black interior, performance upgrade without PUP...
