1. I can think of many other cars that are vastly better for track use than the M3P. And that isn't a secret either. 2. Hitting road debris is your problem, not the load rating of the tire. Rubber-band sidewalls contribute but are not unique to Tesla. 3. Elon probably said that thinking he could...

I have a 20' M3SP and 23' MYP and no, the issue is not fixed in the latest update for either car. The issue started on my M3 with the update where they removed radar support - never an issue before. The phantom braking can be on the highway with no cars around, no bridges, no overpasses -...

Just received a VIN a day after ordering. Wondering if others can post their pre-delivery VINs so we can see if we are getting a crusty leftover that no one wanted or something relatively new. Here's mine: VIN: PF602XXX (Freemont) TRIM: 2023 MYP DATE VIN REC: 11/30/22

Model 3 build quality is probably about on par with a 90’s Ford. If you expect your new car to be perfect, Tesla is not the way to go.

For those who have FSD, especially if you've had it awhile, has the progress in its development been more, less or the same as what you were expecting?

It's just odd to me. I could understand if it was a slow and quiet luxo-barge but it's not.

Which dynamic cruise control from a boat load of other manufacturers also handles and is becoming a standard feature (read: free) on those cars. The cost of Tesla's FSD is packaged with the hope that it will self-drive in the city to a great degree in the future. Which, if you bought a fun to...

So you buy one of the most fun-to-drive cars around, then pay $8k for the privilege of being less involved in driving it. Makes perfect sense.

I wouldn’t buy the first year of ANY new model. Let the gotta-to-be-first-on-the-block suckers help Tesla work out all the first year bugs for you. if looks are your thing, a Y is a significant downgrade to the S imo.

Based on your responses, I'd be cross shopping the 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime with the Y instead of the Outback: It's a plug-in hybrid that runs up to 39 miles in full EV mode (no gas) which easily covers your commute. Has a dual injection motor (port and direct) so you don't have to worry about...

They extended the warranty on older model CVTs when they recognized a problem with some units. The vast majority of people do not have an issue. That said, I'd also be a little apprehensive about the inability to fix the internals on a CVT (usually requires a complete replacement as you...

I’ve driven both the 3 and Outback in the snow. Others share the same sentiment - perhaps its better on the Y than the 3 - can’t say for sure. Heavy snow will favor the Outback though with its 2 inches more ground clearance.

For the Y: You can count all the lifetime service you will need to do on one hand and most are in terms of years, not months. While Subaru has started some over-the-air updates on newer models, it will be a pile of rarely updated dung compared to Tesla's frequent updates that actually add...

You sounded a bit surprised in your video that you were having problems. You bought literally the first month of production of a brand new model. That is the worst-case scenario that practically guarantees that you will at least see some issues with the car regardless of the manufacturer. I...

Oh, so your contribution to the 17 million unemployed is that you won’t complain of paint defects when you pick up your new $50k Tesla but instead enjoy it to the fullest? How noble of you - I’m sure those without jobs will be overjoyed you made that personal sacrifice.

Yeah because before Covid we lived in a perfect utopia where everyone in the world had a job and no one starved. Just go through life accepting whatever crap sandwich you get cause someone else always has it much worse.

I bet the same Tesla apologists who try to shame those who complain about Tesla’s continuing paint and cosmetic issues would be raising holy hell if their new leather couch was delivered with marks, blemishes, scratches and dimples. But somehow its A-OK on a $50k purchase.

later build numbers are no guarantee - you see build quality issues (at times) even with the model 3 that is now 3 model years in. Tesla seems to let a lot of stuff slide as far as quality control when it involves cosmetic or paint issues. They also seem to have issues at times with damage that...

I'd be a little nervous about that. There have been some notable build quality issues on a handful of Model Y's that buyers rejected. The factory hasn't produced anything in 3 weeks and probably all the decent ones out there have been snatched up. What's left may be the rejects. Give a good look...

brakes brakes brakes brakes brakes brakes brakes NOT breaks

I seriously doubt this crisis will be over by summer dude.

Most couldn't even name a current CEO of another car company. Did you vet everything those CEO's said when you bought a non-Tesla in the past?

Yeah don't worry about covid-19, it only kills a bunch of fat 80 year-old smokers. You'll be fine. o_O

RTFM

We’re doomed. People getting stir crazy after only a week or two of shelter at home - give me an f’n break. Think about someone other than yourself (talking about everyone). They’ve had to barricade trails, parks and beach parking lots because mass numbers of people are treating this like a...

Which game?

This discussion is pointless - It is just a means of patting yourself on the back when gas prices are high (look how smart I am for buying an EV!) and then coming up with myriad of excuses to justify your purchase when gas prices are low and ICE is actually cheaper to “fill up”. Buying a...

Even if your job is secure, it’s not smart to buy at this exact moment. Wait until the factory comes back online (probably many months from now) and once they get back to normal production, it is very likely there will be some killer deals from Tesla like 0% financing, free lifetime...

Not everyone. I’d rock some 18 Aeros full-time on a Y if they fit and were the same height as the OEMs.

That's because we own the budget, entry-level, poor-man's starter Tesla so we are less civilized. S and X sub-forums are probably all respectful and stuff.

There's no such thing as "I'm not infected". You can be infected with zero symptoms (ever) and pass the virus on to others. You can be infected but haven't shown symptoms yet and pass it on to others days before you do. Even if you are tested and the results are negative, that only means you...

After 2 years, even though you love the car, is there anything you've come to dislike?

This is the reason why we will never flatten the curve and why hospitals are having to decide between who lives and who dies. Because in 'Merica, some think the rules don't apply to them. "Do: Stay home Avoid people outside your household Don’t: Leave the house except for essential activities"

This.

Any other states allowing the license plate wrap in the future?

Sure, you post a video. Then I'll post a video responding to your video. Then you make another video responding to my video response to your video. That would be an awesome discussion. Some of us don't want to spend 10 minutes or whatever of our life watching a video that might turn out to be...

And there it is.

You just joined and that is your first post. Hello OP.

This isn't a forum for linking to videos. It's a forum for discussion. If you have impressions, post details of those and then include a link to your video. Don't tell us we need to watch your video to get anything - reeks of click bait.

I refuse to watch any video linked in this forum where the poster writes absolutely nothing of substance. If you have impressions, post those impressions - otherwise I'm not going to bother with your video.

Tesla supplies you with a front license plate holder. It works fine and likely was actually aerodynamically tested whereas these aftermarket options were not.

It's sad for everyone dude.

It's the height of dumb to pick up any Tesla right now anyway. Wait a handful of months when the shiat has really hit the fan and Tesla will be begging for sales. Likely major incentives. At the very least, probably lifetime free supercharging on the 3 and Y. Not to mention maybe 0% loan offers.

What's with the out-of-control bolding?

This is cases where the motors (gas) are identical

all 3 suck #downwithrubberbands

Unless you are going to massage soapy water into your seats, steering wheel and doors for 30 seconds and then rinse it off with a hose, the only substances that will actually “disinfect” will likely discolor or damage the surfaces in your car. The CDC recommends you disinfect high traffic...

Go ahead and disinfect your car (which is pointless) but can you please stop buying up all the toilet paper, paper towels, eggs and meat in the store?

People have also said these tires make odd noises in the dry under hard acceleration

They look worse than the P3D 20s
