    Model 3 RWD vs Model 3 LR?

    I had 1mm difference back to front @ 7000 miles on my 2023 RWD. Discount tire rotated them for free using cross method. I monitor with the depth gauge but safe to assume between 6500 - 8000 is your mark.

    Refrigerant Question

    You said there was a leak but couldn’t find a leak. Which is it? Typically they’d put dye in in it to find. Pretty easy and nothing a SC can’t do. Is it possible it was low or over charged? Both would cause it to blow warm.

    Bug guts remained on car for week. Does this look like permanent damage to clear coat?

    Body shine and a clay bar will take it off. Do it in the shade when the paint is cool to avoid scratching.

    Price increase

    The price increase on the S that’s not selling particularly well and the decrease on the Y that’s hot are a little mind blowing. I don’t understand the strategy at all. Only 1k difference between the m3p and myp is crazy.

    Price increase

    79,999 and I’d trade my 3 in.

    model3 FSD or autopilot for 300 miles commute one way

    I know you want a Tesla, but buy a Certified Lexus. Unlimited mileage warranty and you can extend it out for an additional 5 years (11 total from the first in service date) for about $2500. At least then all you have to worry about is upkeep items.

    Model 3 SR+ LFP Battery Range, Degradation, etc Discussion

    The last 5 % can take 15-20 minutes longer than any other 5%. I don’t know much about batteries but my speculation it’s slower intentionally but think it also has to do with the BMS doesn’t actually know what 100% is when your are charging. It’s likely part of the recalibration and the reason...

    LFP battery - how often is too often to charge?

    My commute is similar. I charge to 85% every day but Thursday. Charge to 100% on Thursdays to keep the BMS calibrated. I’ve lost 1 mile of range in my first 3000 miles.

    Social Media and Posts on here starting to give me anxiety.

    Picked my m3 up last month. I’ve owned over 30 cars, mostly luxury, and this was by far the best buying experience I’ve ever had. I used to love the negotiation. Unfortunately I had a rock break my window with 1200 on the odometer. I can’t believe how easy it was to schedule service for a...

    Won't sleep while on Wall Connector

    Does the widget update without opening the app? My widget is not super accurate when I'm charging at night. If I don't open the app it'll show last seen 8-10 hours ago when I first open the app and takes a few seconds to update.

    Tinting rear window

    Find an installer that's familiar with Tesla. because of the size of the rear window it takes a larger roll of tint that some shops may not carry. It may not be they won't do it, they might not have the right tint. My shop specialized in Tesla's - zero issues with my M3. The use a machine to...

    Model 3 SR+ LFP Battery Range, Degradation, etc Discussion

    Just hit 1k miles in a week and a half. Loving the car. My battery is a little strange. Now showing more miles than when I first bought. Day 1 was 267. Now at 273. I charge daily to 85% and 2x a week to 100.

    2023 M3 RWD Scheduled Charging to 100% Issue or Normal?

    new to my m3 rwd. Picked up a week ago. My guess is that it’s due to your off peak setting. I notice that when I charge to 100% the last 10% takes over 1.5 hours. I would bet you don’t have enough time to top off.

    Brand new (5 days) model 3 has odd looking white liquid all over front left rim.

    I had the same looking stuff on mine that was picked up Monday. Looked like grease from mounting the tire.

    Did you all have a Tesla rep sign section 4 of the rebate form? I'm hoping they get the program funded again but didn't have anyone sign when taking delivery last week.

    USAA and windshield replacement

    I have another provider and requested a Lexus dealer replace one of our windshields. Since it wasn’t safe lite I had to pay out of pocket then get reimbursed. You just have to push and tell them what you’re going to do. Most insurance companies are setup with safelite so you don’t have to...

    KWh charge equivalents

    My entire home (without charging a Tesla) uses 40 kwh on a 90 degree day with the thermostat set to 70. On a spring day without AC or heat my home uses are around 30. Hard to compare charging to an appliance when a whole home uses the same amount of energy.
