I have child booster seats in my M3, and I have a couple of issues with them: - the seats are too upright, and - the seats cover the seat belts My kids routinely have trouble buckling in the seat belts without awkwardly shifting the seats away from the buckles. I think a solution would be to...

I took delivery of an M3P 3 weeks ago, and was washing my car this morning when I noticed an odd imprint on the driver's-side rear panel, just above the charger port (Pic). I couldn't really wipe it off (I wasn't willing to go at it with anything abrasive, just tried rubbing it with a towel and...

Today my wife and I were both near the car, and we each had our phones in our pocket. She got in the car (I did not, I stayed home) and pressed on the brake; the car adjusted itself to my seat settings and it was connected to my BT for music (presumably because I was the last one to drive the...

Hi, I'm having a Wall Connector mounted outside. I have read many threads saying it is waterproof, and I doubt anyone is going to try and steal it, but I wondered about having it mounted in a box. Are there any reasons I shouldn't do this? Any safety concerns with the Wall Connector overheating...

Heh, my wife has always had AAA, so for as long as we’ve been married we’ve had it. Yesterday though we were both hugely impressed with AAA’s worthlessness. Might cancel our membership. I’ve read other threads here saying Tesla sometimes takes days, so I might one day have to call a regular tow...

Today we experienced our first flat; wife accidentally drove over a huge screw and completely emptied the tire (thankfully she was close to home so she made it to our driveway). I called AAA first but they were cagey about the Tesla, basically telling me it was up to me to drive the car onto...

When I bought our brand-new 2015 Toyota Highlander, it had a feature I'd never had before: a "Fuel Economy" readout, telling me my average MPG since the last time I refueled. It became a game to try and get that number as high as possible—not because I cared that much about the cost of gas (it...

That's awesome, thanks for posting those images; very helpful!

I'm doing our first road trip that will need charging (LA to Vegas; actually the first time doing this trip by car!). ABRP considers elevation change when computing battery drain, but I'm wondering: if I point the Tesla Nav to Vegas, will it take into consideration energy drain from elevation...

TL;DR: if you can part with $8000 and not think twice, get the Performance version. If spending the money will keep you up at night, LR+AB is absolutely the way to go. I also went back and forth; I originally ordered a Performance and, when the brief price cut occurred in late Feb/early March...

I do make use of Autopilot; it doesn't really work well on city streets, but on highways it's pretty great. I don't always like auto-steering; it requires that I tug at the steering wheel every so often to let it know I'm paying attention, and more often than not I pull too hard and wind up...

Prior to my MY (took delivery in March), I drove a Lexus GS 350 F-sport and my wife's car is a Toyota Highlander. Definitely night and day difference: the MY is absolutely a rough ride (rough enough that my wife and kids yelp any time we drive over rough roads, which they didn't do in the Lexus...

I use this: BougeRV for Tesla Charging Cable... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08D3CGV7W?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share It’s mounted sideways because the outlet is installed upside-down... side benefit is the “TESLA” text is right-side up 😀

Nice, thanks! Took it for a quick drive to the office w/acceleration boost. It feels super-snappy now, like this is the way the car was meant to be from the get-go! Passing cars on the freeway is near-instant and fun! Definitely not getting a refund :)

New LR owner, just bought it and will try it out tomorrow... Question about a comment a few pages ago that said something like “0-30 difference is most noticeable when soc is 90% and battery is warmed up.” How does one know if the battery is warm? Is there a way to warm it up manually (and is...

Are these RPM noise kits hard to “uninstall” in the event it makes things worse? Or does it permanently alter the car in any way?

Ah, sorry, forgot: 140xxx, 19” Gemini wheels. My SA couldn’t/wouldn’t tell me the build date...

Ordered MYP 2/12 (5-seater, MSM, black interior, tow hitch); modified to MYLR 2/21. Got my VIN 3/7; I'm in SoCal. Delivery would have been tomorrow but I pushed it out to 3/11.

FWIW we ordered a MYP on 2/10, and have a window of 3/10-3/31 (the verbiage changed to “4-7 weeks from order date” a few days ago). Our SA told us that Performance models are “built to order.” I wonder if that’s strictly true, or if it means something closer to “they’re built after they build...
