I have the M3 LR set to charge to 85%. While charging at a Supercharger today, I got an alert that the car was charged to 80%, and the 5-minute grace period was starting. Could this shortfall be because all eight Superchargers were in use? If it matters, the nav system had no destination set...

Finally got my Wall Adaptor installed today. I had a bit fumbling getting my iPhone connected to it, but finally prevailed. It was smooth sailing thereafter. But when I disconnected my ChargePoint, I discovered that it didn't have a 14-50 plug with corresponding outlet as I had thought, but a...

There is some major roadwork near my house; there are these orange and white barrels lining the road. But the visualization on the touch screen displays them as cones. Can't Tesla get anything right? (For the humor impaired, I'm joking. What I described is accurate, but my "complaint" is a...

I tried to demonstrate smart summon to some friends today. I was standing at the spot labeled "Me"; the car was parked at the spot marked "Car". The red line was the path the car took when I tried to smart summon it.

If my car is in the garage, summon works very well to move it onto the driveway. But if it's in the driveway, Summon can't connect to the car whether I'm in the garage or in the driveway.

18' cable only. 8.5' cable is out of stock.

Two things I've noticed about the AP display on the touch screen. The spacing of the two blue parallel lines varies according to the width of the lane. When the lane is narrow, the lines are closer to the image of the vehicle, and vice versa when the lane is wide. The steering-wheel icon...

I drove my leased Ford Fusion Energi PHEV to the dealer today to return it. And after only two days of driving the M3 it was an amazing difference. Most noticeably, the brakes were not as strong; I had to push the pedal much harder than on the M3. Also, the AutoPilot on the M3 was more...

I've read about a new headlight design that supposedly came out the same time as the new frunk. I definitely have the new frunk, but am not sure about the headlights. Is this the new headlight?

First of all, I have no regrets about buying this M3. I do wonder, though, whether I should have bought the SR+ instead of the LR. I wonder whether the nine grand is worth the extra 72 miles EPA range, considering that that would be a concern only two or three times a year. Oh well, done is...

I'll be picking up my M3 LR FSD in a week. What features should I activate before leaving the lot? What features should I expect to be activated already? And what features should I not bother with until after I get home? I will have a USB device with me to plug in for TeslaCam, so that's one...

When I first read about the Model S way back in 2012 or so, I seem to recall that Tesla was going to offer the option of pulling into a Tesla service station and having them swap batteries, as a speedier alternative to recharging. Am I imagining this, or was this something actually announced?

According to the "Shop" pages on the Tesla web site, the J1772 adaptor is sold out. Fortunately, there's one in every car.

Is it possible to color the aero wheels to match the color of the car? Deep blue in this case.

Typically, how long does it take from the time I'll arrive at the location until I'll be able to drive away? I will have to sign documents, I sssume, and I will certainly have to write a check and show my drivers license and proof of insurance. And add the time to inspect the car.

I've seen a number of threads about chrome delete, but haven't seen opinions about it itslef. hence this poll.

I've looked at the inspection checklist, and frankly I'm too ADHD to go into that much detail. So what are the five or so most essential things to look for before accepting the car for delivery?

Of course, one of the first things I did on line after receiving my VIN was to look it up. Here's one of the results I found: "We found the following match for the VIN you entered. "2020 Tesla 3 Long Range (Electric) 15 Cylinders 0.0L 202 kW 271 HP" 15 Cylinders??? At least they got the...

How can you tell whether a Supercharger is V2 or V3?

The Wall Connector will arrive a few weeks before I get my M3. Should I wait to install the Wall Connector, or have it installed before the car is delivered?

Isn't it curious that now that we're within a realistic five-week window for delivery of our Teslas, that the Wall Connector is suddenly back in stock? I wonder whether they've been in stock all along on Teslas European web sites.

Both lengths. But who knows for how long?

What do you recommend for exterior protection? I understand that PPF and ceramic have different functions.

Gen 3 Wall Connector with 8.5' cable is now in stock. With 18' cable, still out of stock.

Has anyone tried Roadie? Opinions? Roadie for Tesla

For the heck of it, I've been searching for inventory stock around the country. I found four. Two black performance model 3 with 18" Aero wheels in the Los Angeles/Orange County area One black performance model 3 with 18" Aero wheels in the San Francisco Bay area One grey performance model 3...

For $1,500, you can get 19" wheels to replace the standard 18" wheels, and lose range. Other than the aesthetics, what advantages do these larger wheels offer in exchange for the loss of mileage?

I'm waiting for a VIN and delivery date for my M3 LR AWD. I currently have a ChargePoint 32 A charger installed in the garage. The cable isn't long enough to reach the charge port on the Tesla. As I see it, I have the following options. 1. Back the car into the garage. 2. Buy a longer...

The color palette differs depending on searching for new or used inventory cars or choosing a car to order. Inventory New White, Black, Blue, Red Order New White, Black, Blue, Red, Midnight Silver Inventory Used White, Black, Blue, Red, Midnight Silver, Silver Does this mean that...

Why Tesla has a huge lead over its competition: Branding and Elon Musk — Business Insider

Don't get me wrong, just because I will miss having these things doesn't mean that I will love my Tesla any the less; what I will be getting vastly outweighs what I will be missing. Apple Car Play AM Radio Map database on board Seat cooler Steering wheel heater CD player Side mirror dimming...

The Tesla DIY maintenance guide (Do It Yourself - Model 3) says that windshield wiper fluid is the only fluid you have to add to the vehicle. But the car has friction brakes in addition to regenerative braking; doesn't that require brake fluid?

last week I had to go to a meeting about 105 miles from my house; no problem with my Ford Fusion Energi. I checked Tesla's route planner to see whether there would have been any problems with a Model 3 for a round trip. That site needs to be updated because the only Model 3 it shows has a 310...

How much advance notice should I expect (on the average) for the delivery date? Do I make the down payment when the car is delivered, or do I have to pay in advance? What forms of payment do they accept? Can I write them a check? Use a debit card? Cashier's check? Anything else? I've...

I've read everything I could find about the two, but still can't understand what the differences are. I hope someone can explain in terms that I can get through my reluctant skull. Thanks in advance.

I realized today that I do not have to wait until the lease is up on my Fusion. Because I paid the lease fee in full up front, I have no payments, so I don't have to wait until the end of the lease to buy a new Tesla. And if I close the CDs before they mature, I will lose only about $120 in...

But for the time being I think I've got as much useful information as I can from this forum, despite some (maybe only one) members being deliberately obnoxious, some being pedantic, and others obfuscating things by answering questions that were neither asked nor implied and/or offering...

I know there partial answers spread throughout TMC, but on thread to consolidate them is helpful, at least to me. I'm planning to get a M3LR AWD. I currently have a ChargePoint Charger that's limited to 32 ampsn it's fed through a 50 amp breaker. I think the breaker could be replaced by a 60...

Is there any online routing/navigation programs that take round trips into account? I tried two sites, but they let me enter only a one-way route. I tried a route from my home to my hotel in Gatlinburg, TN. They get me there with only about 10% charge, and no convenient destination chargers...

It used to be that black was the base color, and all other colors cost extra (If I recall correctly, from what I've read, $1,500, but $2,500 for red). Now white is the base color, and all other colors, including black, cost extra, but $500 less than before. Anyone know why the change in base...

I have an L2 charger in my garage. It's position works fine for my PHEV, with the charge port near the front. I tried to see if it would reach to the rear left corner of the car, where the Tesla charge port is. So it seems that I will need to back the Tesla int the garage. Can auto park do that?

I searched for "Tesla" in Apple's App Store, and was overwhelmed by the number of results. So what apps do you recommend, and which ones should be avoided? And, of course, the reasons?

I read that starting sometime late this year, FSD will be available on a monthly basis. Because I'm going to be leasing my M3 LR, if the payments are less than the difference in lease payments, it would be less expensive to go that route than to buy it.

I'm sure that just about everyone has tried one-pedal driving. Have you continued to use it after giving it a try? If not, why not?
