    ETA Change during Roadtrip

    Traffic conditions change all the time. It may be the case that it only use real-time conditions to the next stop and so it adjusts when you start a new leg - but in any case, the longer the trip the wider the actual range of expected arrival time even when using real-time conditions and it...

    Help identifying source of sound

    Hi, in the last couple of days I've started having this odd sound in my Model 3 AWD that I can't diagnose at all. It sort of sounds like styrofoam rubbing against itself. It isn't entirely consistent but it typically starts at around 10 mph up to like 40mph, don't hear it at high speeds, it...

    Premium Connectivity Actual Expiration

    For me I don't drink coffee and I have streaming music using my phone as a hotspot and while traffic is nice to have, my phone is also there in front of me and has it for the few times when it is actually helpful to see where backups are (I've never used the satellite maps).

    Premium Connectivity Actual Expiration

    It shut off a couple days after I posted - a week after the expiration. So far it is manageable without it - if there were a way to not have to turn wifi on every time I switch into drive that would really help.

    Premium Connectivity Actual Expiration

    How strange, I wonder why mine didn't. Am I right that if I can still listen to streaming music and see the red/yellow traffic on the map while driving I still have the premium connectivity, right?

    Premium Connectivity Actual Expiration

    How long after the first year of connectivity passes does the service actually expire? Mine was supposed to expire last week and hasn't cutoff yet (in any way I can notice) - I want to see if I miss it or can get around it but I need it to be gone first to try...

    Model 3 phantom loss. Cell phone app connection?

    Check if you have cabin overheat protection on - at some point a recent update reverted mine and that was causing significant loss.

    Supercharger not charging (credit card)

    Has anyone else found that some supercharger charges aren't just slow to hit your account but never do? I have now charged twice in Fredrick, 3 weeks ago and 4 weeks ago, and neither has hit my Tesla account (despite other charges since then doing so). Anyone else experience this with Fredrick...

    "Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

    In what way wouldn't it be the same - the same cost for the same outcome, isn't it?

    "Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

    Um, that isn't what you call 'more debt' if you are trying to use the words in any way close to their literal meanings.

    "Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

    LOL- I take it you aren't an accountant... Devaluing your property decreases the value of the asset, it has no impact on the amount of debt you owe. In your example you still owe the same amount of debt, you just can cover less of it by selling your asset.

    Collision Avoidance overrode brake press and causing car to veer and hit the curb

    Yes, that is not an uncommon human error at all - a google search would show you how common it is. This is a big advantage of one pedal driving, once it becomes habit.

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    M3P- . What is it, how to order it, etc.

    Obviously your own personal finances should drive that decision - but what I did was finance through Tesla while shopping for lower rates then used their 'price match' program where they send me a check for the difference in interest over the life of the loan. I then paid off the loan, all in...

    Leaving Model 3 for 3 months

    My car drains less than 2 miles in range when sleeping for 24 hours - it will last way more than a few weeks before it would have no charge. OP - do you use Teslafi or something similar so you can get a sense what your typical drain is while the car sleeps? That will give you a good idea of how...

    "You'll Lose 23 Miles of Range If You Order Your TM3 Performance With the Big 20-Inch Wheels"

    Wheel size does not necessarily mean larger circumference for the tire - the difference in diameter between a 235/45R18 and 235/35R20 is less than a quarter of an inch, or less than 1%, it's irrelevant.

    2020 Model 3 and differences from 2019

    I don't think one can definitely say that any particular difference is between a MY19 and MY20 as they are constantly changing throughout the year. I have what is probably one of the MY19s (October build) and it is extremely quiet, has no frunk mat but does have the bag clips - for example.

    No Frunk Bag Hooks

    "It was the little things that sold us on our Model 3. Turning the NAV into Mars, fart mode, arcade. They didn’t HAVE to put those in there, but they did." I can't speak for others but no it wasn't those 'little things' that sold me on the Model 3 - not even close. They definitely didn't have...

    EAP on window sticker but I didn’t pay for it, it worked initially and then didn’t

    But that isn't analogous to what happened here at all - he knew he didn't buy that feature. Just because something rings up wrong doesn't mean it can't legally be rectified after the fact (or you aren't stealing it by not reporting). If it rings up wrong in the stores favor and you don't notice...

    EAP on window sticker but I didn’t pay for it, it worked initially and then didn’t

    What makes you say that? Do you really think if you just make it out of the store with some extra apples they missed when counting you didn't steal them?

    EAP on window sticker but I didn’t pay for it, it worked initially and then didn’t

    So stop looking at the wheels example - if you bought a car with XM unintentionally turned on, or GM's onstar system, would you expect them to call you before disconnecting the unpaid-for service?

    EAP on window sticker but I didn’t pay for it, it worked initially and then didn’t

    Dude, when a cashier gives you incorrect change I assume you keep it too... You are the one that framed it as if they stole something from you when you drove off that lot with a feature you know you didn't pay for. You don't like how it was handled? You didn't speak up when you had it for free...

    EAP on window sticker but I didn’t pay for it, it worked initially and then didn’t

    You didn't feel like you were cheating Tesla when you received a feature you didn't pay for - but do feel cheated when they remove that feature that you never paid for. Really hard to have sympathy for you here and if we are going to say anyone 'stole' anything here it would be you for those 9...

    Hit a dead deer last night and car is out coolant :(

    It can vary based on state and insurance, but it is typically viewed as a not-at-fault accident so the impact on price, if any, can be minimal .any

    Hit a dead deer last night and car is out coolant :(

    Usually hitting an animal (dead or alive) is covered with your comprehensive and not collision coverage.

    Dead pedal - dead in 2020

    My car has a production stamp of 10/19, an MY19 vin number, and a dead pedal. It's possible at some point in the last couple of weeks they retooled the line to remove the dead pedal (and frunk hooks per another thread) to coincide with the shift in vin numbers that they don't advertise or price...

    Front Passenger Seatbelt Noise

    Does everyone else have the front passenger seatbelt constantly, noisily, banging against the side of the seat when not in use? Anyone come up with a creative way to stop it? Right now I keep it belted but as I have passengers I am certain it will be annoying to keep it up.

    Insurance premiums for the Model 3

    The Play Store absolutely knows what phone you are using. It also says it is incompatible with my Pixel 3a - I'll probably sideload it and see if it is really incompatible.

    Noob financing question

    It is a fixed rate - the rate you actually get won't be shown until approval. Getting approved doesn't require you to use them and if you submit multiple applications for the same credit type in a short period (15-45 days) are treated as one inquiry by credit agencies so it won't impact your...

    Making Money on Financing

    Can someone check me here to make sure I got this right. Apparently, Tesla will match financing rates you get elsewhere after delivery (within 7 days) by cutting you a check for the total difference in interest across the life of the loan (not adjusted for present value or anything like that)...

    LR AWD Waiting Room

    they did say it was declined because they wanted to change their order (do not if they meant color, trim or what) so I'm hopeful it wasn't cause of the car itself. I'm not to picky on the appearance things - but alignment problems in the glass roof for example worry me.

    LR AWD Waiting Room

    I had started the ordering process a few weeks ago with the goal of taking delivery in early December (to balance some tax issues) - when they changed the delivery time to 6-10 weeks I had them open my order to be matched so I could join the queue as 10 weeks would push me out of my window.

    Yeah, comparing the tire ratings the difference is 3 revolutions per mile, or less than four tenths of a percent.

    Does my wheel selection logic make sense?

    Hi, I'm finalizing my order for an LR AWD (looking to take delivery the first part of December). I'm waffling on whether to get the 18" or 19" wheels - does my logic here make sense? 1. Appearances isn't an issue for me. I'm not that concerned with ow my car looks (as opposed to performs) in...
