    “Power Reduced” warning and Turtle icon

    I recently experienced the reduced power mode during a road trip multiple times. Each time it seemed to come on when the car was preconditioning for a supercharger. I was very pissed off when this happened as it reduced my max speed to 55 mph when on a 70 mph highway. I didn't allow it to...

    Got some road rash during a fender bender. Tips on cost or time to repair, diminished value, etc?

    I didn't use private adjuster. The only adjuster I have worked with is the one assigned from the other persons' insurance.

    Got some road rash during a fender bender. Tips on cost or time to repair, diminished value, etc?

    Thought I'd provide an update. Current repair estimate is $21k. Going to be 3 weeks or so from now to get it fixed.

    Got some road rash during a fender bender. Tips on cost or time to repair, diminished value, etc?

    Part of me wants it to be totaled so the car isn't stuck in service for weeks to months getting fixed. Plus, the hit to my car's value since it has been in an accident is also something that frustrates me.

    Got some road rash during a fender bender. Tips on cost or time to repair, diminished value, etc?

    That is helpful information, thanks. There is definitely some more damage as it looks like the tire is pushed in so likely damage to the struts, and support structure of the tire. Front door has a nice bend in it too so that will need to be replaced or fixed. I should find out in the next couple...

    Got some road rash during a fender bender. Tips on cost or time to repair, diminished value, etc?

    My beloved TARS had a bad evening. Wife was driving and someone turned into her, 100% fault of the other driver. What can I expect for wait time on the repair? I’ve heard horror stories with Tesla repair times. The front quarter panel is destroyed, drivers door, bumper, wheel, strut, and...

    Does the Model 3 still come with free supercharging credits?

    I believe the Model 3 used to come with 1000 free supercharging credits, is that still the case? My 3 came with 1000 but I used someone's referral code. I has someone use my code recently and it shows as delivered but my supercharging miles have not updated. I am wondering if I wasn't properly...

    Does anyone from MN have a recommended company for ceramic coating and window tint installation?

    Looking to get my Model 3's paint protected with a ceramic coating as well as install window tint. Does anyone from the Minnesota area have a recommended vendor they were happy with? What are the approximate prices for this service? Lastly, how do they typically install window tint on the back...

    Most requested features/options/improvements for the Model 3?

    I wish we had better scheduling for charging. Like exclusion times and more fine tuned start and stop times than what is currently offered.

    Performance vs. Performance Upgrade - Confused

    As a P3D- owner, something that I was thinking about today is what would happen if my car was totaled? My purchase price was about $6K lower than it is today. Would insurance only provide the depreciated value on the original purchase price or the new (replacement) price?

    My windshield wipers rarely ever clean the left corner of my windshield. Is this common?

    I'll look at that. Was yours not connected at the wiper or the tank? Thanks for the suggestion.

    My windshield wipers rarely ever clean the left corner of my windshield. Is this common?

    I live in a winter state, which means my windshield gets very dirty often. My drivers side wiper doesn't get windshield washer fluid on the bottom 8-12" of the wiper, resulting in it just moving the dirt back and forth on this part of my windshield. Does anyone else have this same issue? Is it...

    Schedule Departure Feature Flawed

    To piggy back on this topic. Is it possible to tell your car when not to charge? I have my car set to use schedule departure and have set this to finish when I leave for work/favorable electrical rates. This is likely good enough, but is there a way to tell it not to charge between 9:00 am and...

    Can a used Model 3 be more expensive than brand new?

    Likely trying to recuperate the total financing and out the door costs they paid. If you finance a $40k vehicle, you're likely going to end up paying $45K+ in total costs depending on the state you live in.

    How often do you view your sentry events?

    I am curious how others are using their sentry data. Do you only view data if there is an incident? Are others checking events daily? Somewhere in the middle? Personally, I haven't really viewed much data other than testing it to make sure it works. I would say I am primaryily using it as...

    How to add FAST wireless charging.

    For one, a lot of corporate applications block services to phones with unlocked bootloaders or that have been rooted. I rooted my phones back in the day when they had *sugar* software but that isn't needed as much now. I need my phone for work so rooting isn't a good option for me.

    I don't really feel like deleting everything on my phone and having to reload everything just to root it.

    Water/dirt in the door jam. Is this normal?

    Lol. You have no idea! I have been looking to replace the stock floor mats. I haven't found one that I like quite yet.

    How to add FAST wireless charging.

    Let me know how that works out. I have a Pixel 3 and just found out that it won't charge faster than 5w. I might follow your lead if you are successful.

    Water/dirt in the door jam. Is this normal?

    I've had my 3 for about a week now, and I've noticed that a couple of the doors have dirty water in the door jam from what I can only imagine is an imperfect seal on the door. I initially discovered this after a light rain. I haven't noticed any water getting into the cab, but I've never...

    Does this mean this car can’t be keyed?

    Unless your key is a metal ball

    POLL: Will you buy?

    The design is off putting to be honest. However, I can't let my username go to waste... So yeah, I will be reluctantly buying one. I've made my bed now I have to lay in it.

    This truck design had better be a joke....

    How many Tesla fans out there actually like the design? I like many are in the camp that it is far to untraditional and just doesn't have the Tesla design language we've come to love.

    Cybertruck is the vehicle that John DeLorean would have built.

    Can't disagree with you there. They jumped the shark on this design. Maybe this will be featured in the Back to the Future remake.
