    Spare tire necessary?

    Regarding flats, on a road trip from Ma to FL, near Jacksonville FL. I used the TESLA app and was back on my way in 4 hours. Not much fits in the fronk, I dont think that a bare rim would fit. A tesla tire for the M3 is HUGE. If you do that be sure and chain it down, it could become deadly...

    is there a fix to my window?

    Only one window ? Which one. Does the window on the opposite side have the noise ? From inside, looking out, look around the edge of the glass. Any gaps between glass and rubber gasket ? My brand new 2020 M3 had a noise on drivers side rear window. I could see a gap. I checked out the...

    Drivers side window does not seal on high speeds. Anyone else experience this?

    I had the same problem on drivers side passenger window. The gasket at the top was kinked. I could run my fingers along the flat of the gasket and could notice a bump. The bump was not present on the other side of the car. I pulled the gasket free from the frame of the car, and then...

    Tesla Theft

    I think that if I were inclined to steal a high end car that has sophisticated, state of the art antitheft, that I would first "borrow" a tow truck, the kind with a flat bed, and just go a grab the car. If you really want to secure your car, you need to lock it up out of sight.

    Annoying sound

    Unplugged mine the second day I had the car. At least the car software doesn't notice and nags you to get service like the prius did.

    Car kicks up dust and dirt on rear: Any solutions?

    Years ago, I had thought that it was static buildup on the plastic that caused the dust to stick. I tried some of the antistatic spray used for clothing. I could not really tell if there was a change in build up or not. However, when the stuff gets wet, it's yucky mess. Don't do it. jp

    How do you deal with cold steering wheel ?

    Scenic Drives NH

    That's the route I was thinking of. Anytime I got a new vehicle, I took it on that route to see how it felt (for the past 30 years). My decision to do this will depend on my wife's comfort level doing this during a pandemic Thanks for the insight.

    CHAdeMO test on Model 3 (US)

    I saw a tear down on the adapter somewhere, and inside the handle is potted with a hard rubbery substance. The circuit in the handle looks like it could take submersion. That filler is where a lot of the weight comes from.

    Why Is Tesla Forcing Software Updates If No Safety Issue Is Involved?

    It may have to do with security. Security protocols evolve for a reason, and sometime old protocols must be abandoned. To leave the old protocols in place, opens the servers to attack. Leaving a vehicle in old protocol, may mean that it will loose it's connectivity in the future, when the...
