I'm curious about that, too. I bought the version E set before you started offering the version F sub. The version E sub is okay, but I wouldn't mind more punch.

OnePlus 6 working fine with mine. My wife has a OnePlus 5 that pairs with my car with no problems, too. I suspect there's something missing on earlier OnePlus phones that's used with key pairing.

I would almost certainly go with the new car, though I'd think about buying the performance boost upgrade. Like others have said, it's a new car with a bigger battery and a heat pump. One thing I have heard is that the 20" wheels on the M3P+ are more easily damaged than the other wheels. I...

My own take on it is that the Hanshow products are more of a work in progress, and as long as you treat them that way, I think they're a reasonable deal. I bought the version E, so this is all based on my experience with that prorduct. The DSP seems nice, though I don't think it's particularly...

I suspect it's drawing less than that, honestly. If they shipped harnesses feeding it with a 16awg power wire, I wouldn't expect it to draw more than 10 amps. Though part of me is wondering if they simply assumed that most people would keep the volume turned down enough that it wouldn't draw at...

You've got 14awg power and ground wires on yours? My version E harness has 16awg. It's one of the prickly points for me about the upgrade, and I ended up buying some heavier wire to run back to the sub.

Congratulations! It's a great car, you'll love it! I'll second yyzbig6: If you're not used to a car where the rims stick out past the tire, you'll scrape them. I scraped mine the day I took it home. It hurt at the time, but it definitely brought home the fact that I can't get as close to the...

Congrats! And yeah, my free charging had an expiration date, as well. It was kind of a bummer, especially considering we went into lockdown 3 months after I got the car...

The auto wiper was pretty dodgy when I first got my M3 a year ago - we often get this relentless sort of “greasy” drizzle here, and the auto wiper wouldn’t reliably detect it. At some point a few months later it got much better after an update, and now it’s been working pretty reliably for me. I...

There's more to it than just weight, too. Mountain Pass Performance did some dyno testing of the SR+ versus AWD models, and the power/torque curves are pretty different. They speculate that Tesla flattened the power/torque curve for the SR+ in order to make it feel peppy despite the lower power...

I ordered mine on the 2nd, so it only took a couple of weeks. Since there are folks out there who have installed this already and are happy with the sound, I suspect the power wires are probably fine for the DSP and sub, at least if you don't really crank it. My main issue is the lack of fusing...

I got my version E kit, and in general it looks pretty decent. I'm a little concerned about the power wires, however, so I'm going to treat the thing as a work in progress. Both the DSP and the subwoofer each have little 16 AWG power wires with no fuse at the power tap. I can't find any info on...

That's my take on it, as well. Though I don't really need a big thump. I'm mainly just lookin for a sub to help round out the bass.

Same here. My front seat heaters always remember their settings, but the rear seat heaters turn off pretty quickly unless someone is sitting in them.

I ended up getting this repair kit based on someone else's recommendation on these forums. It seems pretty nice, though I haven't had to use it yet. I bought this compressor, too. They both live in the sub-trunk space as cheap peace of mind.

Congrats, itsRP! It's a really fun car, and I really feel the whole "waiting for delivery" excitement. It's a good idea to have a checklist in hand when you go to pick up your car. Delivery-day problems seem to be pretty rare, but they do happen, and it's best to identify them right off the...

Thanks for setting this up, @bbk3e, I just ordered mine, as well.

Did you get the new-style one with the 5x8 subwoofer? I'm leaning towards it, but I'm a little iffy on that sub.

I understand that some people don't have an outlet available at all where they park, and for them it's a definite concern. For me, though, I just always have my car plugged in when I'm at home. It takes all of 10 seconds to plug the thing in, and it gives me the reassurance that even though I've...

I just want to throw this out there, because it's easy to assume you've got to put in high amperage 220 circuits for charging an electric car - there isn't a lot of information out there about just what it takes to keep an EV charged up. When I bought my SR+, I also assumed I would have to wire...

I'm also looking at the version E package, but don't need the real speakers.

I've owned my 2020 M3 for almost a year now, and the paint still looks good. I've noticed a few dings (the highways on my commute are pretty bad, and trucks kicking up rocks are a common occurrance), but nothing terrible. I did read horror stories about car washes scratching teslas pretty...

It's pretty easy to pop out the mirrors from the side mirror housing and unplug the dimming cable. I did mine, and the difference is (forgive the pun) night and day!

It was a no brainer for me. Seat heat is so comfy when it's cold, and I drive with passengers in the rear seat often enough.

I've been doing a 50 mile RT commute in Seattle this winter with my SR+. I don't do anything in particular to try to conserve power - I run the heat, I drive fast on the highway (which is probably 80% of my commute), and I pulled off my aero wheel covers because I like the looks of the bare...

I think it's totally subjective. I came to the Model 3 from a Prius and a F150 pickup, so the handling is amazing compared to those. I imagine if I were used to something like a Miata, though, the M3 would feel like a boat. It *is* still a sedan, after all. As far as passing performance goes...

I don't think longer range EVs are going to result in less of a focus on charging stations. Superchargers, especially, have always been one of the big advantages of owning a Tesla, and as the number of Teslas on the road increases, there will need to be an increase in the number of...

Definitely leave the car plugged in when you're home. It will manage it's own battery, keeping it charged up to the point you set.

You get your delivery date before the final payment is made. You'll make the payment arrangements when you go pick up the car, so you don't need to have the loan in hand until then.

Yeah, I just followed Daniel and Ranova's instructions in this thread. It was surprisingly easy, the mirrors just pop off.

Unplugged the side mirror tint control leads. I can see when I back into my driveway at night now :D

Welcome! I'm an SR+ owner, myself. You'll love it!

I'm in your boat. I've owned my SR+ for about 5 weeks now, just charging it on 120v 15a at home. I drive a 50 mile RT commute days a week, and have occasional access to work-provided L2 chargers - I typically manage to score about 3 hours on one of those per week - and I haven't had to...

Might be worth pushing on Tesla a little about this. I ordered my blue SR+ on about a week before you ordered yours and I got mine on 12/16. It seems strange that you still haven't gotten yours when it's basically the same car.

Honestly, you'll be surprised at how well you can charge an SR or SR+ with even just a 120v outlet. Both SRs are extremely efficient in terms of miles per kwh compared to other model 3s (and the model 3 in general is extremely efficient, anyways). I haven't installed a 240v outlet yet, so I'm...

I thought the base SR had cloth seats, etc. if the actual difference is just the range, it’s not so big of a deal.

I think you'd definitely be fine with it. ICE drivers are used to thinking about range between fill ups, so you think about "how much do I drive in a week", etc. With a plug in EV, however, think in terms of range between charging stations. So, if you can charge at home, just plug it in when...

I drove a Prius for a long time, and got used to the MPG display on that. It became a game for me to try to stretch a tank of gas as far as I could (without turning into one of those "driving 45mph on the freeway because mileage" folks). When I bought my M3, I figured I'd do the same thing with...

I wouldn't be at all surprised if it did monitor things a few lanes over. On the screen of my 2020 M3, you can see cars a few lanes away, especially if they're larger cars. In any case, glad it worked out for you, Petermcg!

I'm a big fan of plugshare, too. I have yet to do a long road trip like this, but just in playing around with trip planning I've noticed it's pretty easy to find L2 charging near restaurants, so you could get a few bonus kwh while you're stopping for food. I drive an SR+, too, and have plotted...

I'm the same. I always get nervous closing the thing. You can just feel it flexing...

Has she tried turning off the auto-lower-mirrors "feature"? I had a terrible time backing up when I first got my model 3 because of that - visibility is, as you've noted, poor out the rear windshield and when the mirrors lower I can't really see back through them very well, either. I turned off...

$9k is (in my mind) barely worth it for the AWD LR over the SR+. I did get the SR+, but that's because I mainly use mine for commuting and driving around town, and because Washington State has a tax break bonus that applied to the SR+ but not the LR, making it more like a $12k difference.

There are a couple of posts here and on reddit detailing people's upgrades to the SR+ audio system. For me, I mainly want to get the rear deck speakers running (they're not hooked up in the SR+), so I was going to tap the rear door speakers and run that into a line audio converter like an lc2i...

Also, congrats, Mike, I hope you love it :)

I live in Washington, too, and ended up going with a SR+ largely for the sales tax incentive. I like the extras that come with the LR AWD, but the sales tax incentive made it about $12,000 more than a SR+ for me. The only thing I really miss is the better sound system, but I'm planning on...
