    Blind spot detection.

    almost side swiped 2 cars at different times changing lanes in bumper to bumper traffic. A very common scenario, you're in the slower of the 2 lanes bumper to bumper. You see an opening in the left lane... you steer left, nudged the go pedal a little, only to find another car next to or just...

    2018 Model P3D+ pricing for private dealer

    I’d first check with your insurance company of any special provision on insuring a branded title car. Branded title may be grouped as salvage title. Another pain for you will be when you sell the car in future. If you plan to keep forever, this may not be a non-issue. Most buyers want clean...

    "Best Practices" For selling my car?

    I replied to someone else asking similar. Local buyer or not, the biggest hurdle you have selling is the lien on the car. Best case is to find a cash buyer who can pay off your loan balance and take the car right there. Use an escrow service as suggested/needed. If buyer needs a loan to...

    PG&E Rate Schedules: "Home Charging" (EV2-A) Goes Live vs. Others

    For folks with free charging at work... do you use PG&E's EV-* plan? I did the math yesterday... before adding EV charging, I was well head under the E1 plan (.22/kwh any time), vs. an EV2 plan (time-of-day variable). After EV-charging - if I only charge at home during weekends (20kwh per...

    Does dual motor make a big difference in terms of power, enjoyment, etc?

    i think it depends on how you plan to use your car. I use my Model 3 mainly for commuting, where 0 - 60 isn't very useful. So, the LR RWD works for me. That said, I've heard, though never seen, passing/overtaking speed is better on AWD than RWD. I don't know if they're all that different from 60...

    Retractable Charging Solution - Driveway Charging

    the cord on the MC is (I think 20')... So, it really depends on how long the other car is. You can try it. Worse case, you run a short extension cord from wall to the MC unit inside garage... and only exposing the cord itself outside garage. As for rubbermaid bin... you don't cut the lid/top...

    Retractable Charging Solution - Driveway Charging

    Not sure you'll find a retracting until for the charger cord. I assume you don't have an outlet at/near the garage wall facing the driveway or outlet just inside the garage wall, that's why you need the extension cord? As for waterproof housing... less expensive route is put the MC inside a...

    What is the best way to handle payment?

    Cashiers check can still takes a day or more to clear if it’s from different bank. While the fund maybe available immediately after deposited, some banks may not find out the cashier check is fake until few days later. Unfortunately, fraudsters ruin things for the rest of us.

    Used buying advice

    Do a search and learn the difference between AP (standard feature on all new M3's), Enhanced AP (option in early M3's) and FSD (optional on all new M3's).. b/c they differ in capabilities. And if you intend on wanting FSD... may want to factor in upgrade cost - upgrade from non-AP to FSD: $10k...

    What is the best way to handle payment?

    Best case,... go with buyer to the bank and have a bank rep/teller print the cashier check in front of you - removes risks associated with fake cashier checks. If out of state buyer... use an escrow service. Lien make buying & selling a bit more tricky, since (often) the lien has to be satisfied...

    Price Check - Selling my '18 M3 AWD w/FSD (Florida)
