    Range at New

    I've been reading through the forum to get an answer for something similar with my M3P. I have a Feb 22 build M3P. I believe it listed 314 miles of range brand new but I immediately put 18" winter tires on it after I took it home. The range estimate never changed despite running on 18" wheels...

    Has Tesla Build quality improved on new Model 3s in 2022?

    I had a 2021 M3P before I sold it and got a 2022 M3P. The build quality of the 2022 seems a little more solid. The 2021 had some minor panel gaps which I had them adjust until it led to a busted rear trunk arm that they fixed. Hulu also did not work on my 2021. When I first drove the 2022, I...

    Selling after 5k NJ rebate

    jonboyTMY DMed me so I thought I would update what happened. Driveway ghosted me so I went with Givemethevin. I didn't have to wait for them to check on the rebate status of the car. They had me take the car to the Mannheim auto center in NJ where I dropped it off. Their check went through no...

    Model Year 2022 Refresh M3/MY

    I had a 2021 and 2022 M3P simultaneously while waiting to sell the 2021. Not very scientific but I did a do a little check with a twig to see what all of the fuss was about. White M3P is the 2021. It does seem like the 2021 is a little lower. Granted I had 4,000 miles on the tires of the 2021...

    Need some help from anyone with a brand new Model 3 Performance and question on diminished value

    It's not available in my state. Plus, I think they monitor your driving style so while I haven't gotten any speeding tickets or moving violations in decades, I probably would fall in their high risk category.

    Need some help from anyone with a brand new Model 3 Performance and question on diminished value

    Not much I can do about it. Most other insurance companies are charging around the same. I haven't had a speeding ticket or moving violation in 25+ years and drove only 4,500 miles last year.

    Need some help from anyone with a brand new Model 3 Performance and question on diminished value

    No response but I think I have up to 6 years to sue them for DV regardless of what the car costs when I do it. DV is calculated at the time of the accident.

    CCS1 Tesla Adapter

    Now I can understand non-Tesla EV drivers' frustrations with EV charging stations. The EA station must be just a month old yet the chargers are constantly down. When it's up, it works well and is about 25% cheaper than Tesla charging though.

    Need some help from anyone with a brand new Model 3 Performance and question on diminished value

    I haven't been on TMC for a while so sorry about the late response here. I got an offer for $5K in DV from the other insurance company. It wasn't acceptable to me so I went to an appraisal firm to write up a report for me. They came out with $15K but comps are hard to come by. He did say it was...

    CCS1 Tesla Adapter

    Funny thing was I had a few Tesla people come up to me to ask me how I was able to charge there and where I got the adapter. Some people actually drove in and tried charging without the adapter. That's why this forum is so great. There's so much helpful information and members here.

    CCS1 Tesla Adapter

    Tried out the Tesla CCS1 adapter just now. I was at 72% SOC and charged up to 90%. The highest rate I got was 42KW. I'll need to see how well it does when I'm at a lower SOC.

    CCS1 Tesla Adapter

    Unexpectedly but happily I found an EA DCFC in my neighborhood. Not sure when they installed it and it's not located in Google Maps yet but it will make things much more convenient for me since I mainly use level 2 chargers. Getting the CCS1 adapter delivered today after ordering it on July 1.

    Streaming Radio (Slacker) logged out

    Having trouble with Slacker on my 2022 M3P. Whenever I start the car up, Slacker will play the last song that was playing when I exited but after that, it will hang and then ask for my Tesla account password. Had a service technician look at it and they were able to reproduce the problem but...

    Price increase? [posted 06.16.2022]

    Actually, you are right. My bad. I was totally off by a year. I had a 2021 but got it in 12/20. I ordered it in 10/20. 2020 was a year to be forgotten.

    Need some help from anyone with a brand new Model 3 Performance and question on diminished value

    Thanks. The valuation expert explained it all to me. He was actually surprised at how much they offered me. He thought it would have been half that. Considering what they offered, he said they know I have a strong case. So I'm going to pursue it further. On a negative note, even though the...

    Pirelli P Zero Tires Good / Bad?

    One area I can comment on is that they are actually not bad in the rain and cutting through puddles at high speed. I've had some tires on my BMW 335i that were absolutely terrifying in the rain. They were Toyos FYI. I got rid of them after 1,000 miles bc I had no confidence in them at all in the...

    Battery Charge Level Upon Delivery?

    Totally random depending on how busy they are. When I got my 2021 M3P it was about 70%. My 2022 M3P was at 90%. They should have a super charger at there so shouldn't you be able to fill up if you need a full charge?

    Price increase? [posted 06.16.2022]

    I purchased a 2021 M3P which I received in December 2021 for $54,890. I received a $5,000 NJ EV rebate on it with no sales tax on EVs to put it under $50K (excluding documentation charges). I bought a 2022 M3P which I received in Feb 2022 for $58,990. No NJ rebate on that one since it was over...

    Need some help from anyone with a brand new Model 3 Performance and question on diminished value

    Thanks for your responses. I got a diminished value of $5K for my car from their insurance company which is way too low considering I only got offers in the mid to high $40K range for my car. I hired an expert to do a valuation for the car and he came out to 19% diminished value. He got there...

    Better resale value: Model 3 LR or Performance?

    Just a data point but I sold my 2021 white M3P w/o FSD and 4,700 miles in March for $57,000. I bought it in 12/20 for $55,000. In January 2022, I could have sold it for $63,500 but stupidly waited for my 2022 to arrive. By then, the market tanked.

    Hulu Tesla Fix that actually worked

    Hulu started working now. I don't recall a software update or anything. I did get a theater error for Netflix which I'd never gotten before but after a reboot it worked again.

    Need help from those who sold to 'givemethevin.com'. Thank you.

    I sold my M3P to them in March. They gave me the best offer and kept in touch with me after I told them that I was selling to Driveway who ended up ghosting me. I went through the same process. They overnighted me a check of the difference between what I owed on the car through BofA and what...

    Need some help from anyone with a brand new Model 3 Performance and question on diminished value

    So I got rear ended in March. My car was about 3 weeks old and had around 300 miles on it. I hadn't even had a chance to wash it yet. I finally got it back from the autobody shop last week after about 1.5 months there. The total cost of the repair was about $10,500. I want to claim diminished...

    Dropping Car Off for Body Work. Suggestions?

    I had to take my M3P to a Mercedes Benz body shop since there is no Tesla body shop anywhere near me. I turned off sentry and all of the automatic locking features and the windows. I checked the car on the app and it says it's in service mode so they apparently have some setting they put it in.

    Has anyone sold their car through Driveway?

    Back in Dec/Jan, I was offered from Driveway $63,500 for my 2021. Vroom offered $59,000. There is no sales tax on EVs in NJ and I bought the car for $55,000, so I figured I could upgrade and still make some money since how often does something like this happen. Unfortunately, by the time I...

    Has anyone sold their car through Driveway?

    Just an update on the sale of my car but Driveway completely ghosted me. I spoke to them and got the price I wanted for my car. They moved me up to some purchaser who was not very responsive. I would check in once a week to see where we were with the purchase and he would say there's a hangup...

    Hulu Tesla Fix that actually worked

    This is absolutely ridiculous. Hulu stopped working on my 2021 M3P about 9 months ago. Nothing I tried worked. I just bought a 2022 M3P and it still doesn't work! It loads up fully unlike the 2021 which stops halfway giving me some kind of theater error but still gives me an error.

    Worth buying an M3P at this point?

    I have 18" winter tires on my M3P. There are rims that do fit. Mine are Replika R241s. You just have to do the research.

    Selling after 5k NJ rebate

    My 2021 was delivered on 12/28/20 so I made the 2020 rebate deadline. The M3P was $54,990 at the time and the rebate was for $5K up to a $55K EV. I didn't receive the rebate until July 2021 or so because the fund ran out of money. I'm not whining about having to pay the rebate back. I factored...

    No, I think they reached out to Driveway who is purchasing my car. They have been held up with what to pay back to them.

    Selling after 5k NJ rebate

    So I'm in the process of selling my 2021 M3P. Driveway is telling me that they are having a hold up with my sale because of the rebate. Sounds like NJ will be clawing back a portion of the rebate. Not sure how much yet. Too bad I don't get credit for buying another M3P.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Picked up my MSM M3P today 😁. Really liking the color compared to my white 2021 M3P I'll now be selling. Noticed some slight differences with the cars. The 2022 driver's seat sits higher than the 2021 and the steering is a bit tighter. Kind of bummed that I didn't get dual paned rear windows but...

    Does the Performance get the same range as LR with 18s?

    It's been anywhere from 15-40f this winter. It's hard to say how much of the range is affected by smaller tires or the environment.

    Upgrade to a 2021 performance from a 2022 long range?

    I have an early 2021 M3P which does not have the matrix headlights. You may want to know when it was made if the headlights are important to you. Mine was a 12/20 build.

    Does the Performance get the same range as LR with 18s?

    I have 18" snow tires on my M3P. My mileage has not improved from the 20" Uberturbines. It probably has to do with the cold weather and tire compound though. Range on the computer says 307 miles at 100% charge. I probably get 2/3 that in the real world though.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Nice! He's going to be very happy! My college aged kids were happy when I got my current M3P and even my evil ex-wife grudgingly said nice car. 😂 Just one tip. In case you are tempted to speed, I would be careful doing so on Route 17. There are a lot of cops that drive back and forth on the...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Picking up my car on 2/23. Sadly, the market for my 2021 M3P went down a bit. Had an offer last month for $63.5K. Best I can get now is $57K. It will have to do to make room for it's younger brother.

    Gasoline Prices

    I just noticed that the price of super in my neighborhood is $4.09. It feels real great not to concern myself with buying that stuff anymore. I've driven close to 5K miles in my car and I'm still getting free supercharging. I calculated that to be about a $1,250 savings at $4/gallon for my 16MPG...

    2021 Trunk Damage Upon Open/Close

    Had that happen to mine when I asked them about fixing the panel gap. They adjusted the gap too tightly causing the arm to press against the body. Had Tesla fix it but it took about two weeks. Afterwards, I thought someone stole the badges off of my trunk until I realized the body shop never put...
