When I bought my Tesla M3 in January of 2020, the price for the Standard range was about 39000. Although it was not on the web site, it was said to be possible to buy the base car without Autopilot for $35,000. One would have to special order such a vehicle and it could not be done on the web...

From experience. It works where Electronto has his vinyl plate. He also provides two screenshots. I initially put my vinyl plate exactly where the vinyl plate is shown on the red Model 3 in the second screenshot. It did not work. The radar was blocked and my autopilot stopped working...

I have not used Tunein for AM stations in my M3. I don't have to. In Seattle, I find that most of the news and talk shows are broadcast on digital FM as well as AM. For example, KIRO broadcasts on 710 AM as well as 97.3 FM. The digital FM radio in the Tesla shows that 97.3 contains 3...

Since no one else has mentioned this, I will. I use voice commands frequently. For example, push the right button on the steering wheel and say "open glovebox." Without removing your eyes from the road or hands from the wheel, the glovebox will open.

LR AWD 18" Aero wheels. 7,346 miles, 215 wh/mile.

Yes. Assuming you can get the car into drive or reverse, the rest is just like any car except for the regen braking. It feels very much like down-shifting a manual transmission and releasing the clutch. I have owned many stick shift cars and the regen allows you to drive the car hard and slow...

I have never charged to 100%. After 5,582 my wH per mile is 214. That would indicate a range of about 350 for a 100% charge. Just this minute I opened the energy app. My current charge is 53% and the energy app shows a remaining range of 195. That seems to indicate a range of 368 had I...

How do you know? My paperwork said the odometer reading was 50 but when I picked it up, it was 3.

When I use autopilot my hands rest on my thighs. I have adjusted the steering wheel so that I can rest my index finger on the steering wheel. I find it quite easy to apply enough pressure, left or right, to prevent the warnings without causing autopilot to disengage. It is a very relaxing way...

Here is how it worked for me. I handed them a personal check when I picked up the car. If you are paying by a check, just bring the check when you pick up the car. I believe that payment in advance refers to arranging financing and not if you are paying entire purchase price at delivery.

As a start, go to a Better Routeplanner and enter your relevant information. You can specify the exact model and the expected temperature. This should give you a feel for how practical your commute would be in a Model 3.

Are you saying that you could not connect your ipad to the tesla entertainment system via bluetooth? I have connected my wife's Fire tablet via bluetooth so that we could listen to her audio book. You should be able to do the same with an iPad. There was a problem though. When the Fire was...

The easiest way to do this is to press the right button on the steering wheel and say "open energy app." This is your estimated range based on your previous 30 miles (my set up.) Very useful.

La Contessa.

You don't have to hold the "wheel above the spokes." I rest my hand on my thigh with my finger on the wheel next to a spoke. Occasional slight pressure left or right will keep the autopilot from complaining.

I can't tell from your post whether you ever sent them the referral code. If so, do you have a copy of that email? My situation was exactly the same as yours. The sales advisor asked for the name etc and said he would look up my Tesla owner and add the referral code. When I called to...

I picked mine up 2/28. Build date was 2/20. It updated on 3/9/20. Don't worry about it.

I back out of my driveway in R and then, while still going backwards, always shift into D by toggling the gear shift lever all the way up. It works fine. I will be careful to fully toggle the lever to the top. Thanks for the warning.

I asked them if they wanted to look at my trade-in. They said: No, it is going out to be auctioned.

I have had my M3 LR AWD for only 11 days and I have yet to see a range on the display. What I see is a percentage. I am supposed to have a range of 322 miles so I figure 32.2 miles for every 10% of charge that I use. I have taken trips the last two weekends and have exceeded 32.2 miles per...

Model 3 LR AWD picked up February 28th is updating right now.

I think it works if you find the tesla theatre in youtube and click on the link to abettertheater.

I just installed Matsky interior mats and I am impressed by the fit, feel and appearance. I have Weathertech in my Ford C-Max and like them. If I had to deal with a lot of snow and mud I would gone for something more like the Weathertech with the higher edges. Here is a link...

Ordered Jan. 12. Checked source this morning and no VIN. At 10:30 I got a call from the local Tesla office saying I could pick up the car on Thursday the 27th. I never got a text but the VIN is now in my Tesla app. I will pick it up Friday. Not sure why I was never texted before this.
