    Should I order the chargers separate from the car?

    Yeah just order the charger ( it is really just a fancy plug, the charger is in the car) and have it delivered and installed. No need to wait and I agree it is better to have it ready.

    Rear Hatch opening

    Nope. I wish they would have a "bike rack mode" that disables the inside control for the hatch.

    "Cybertruck" $1000 credit on an MY order, anyone got it?

    Just placed an order over the weekend for a new Y for my wife and I received $1,000 off the new car, it's listed as a referral credit . I have had a CT reservation since 11-23-2019.

    1up USA Bike Rack

    I have been using my 1up USA rack for years now. I gave up trying to get a lock installed ( I remove the rack after each ride) so I started using these locking zip ties: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B6VVLXSQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

    Reducing battery drain on the track

    No secret. Just have fun and if you feel that using all your battery per session is better then rip it up.

    Reducing battery drain on the track

    full attack ( with respect for other drivers) from the moment I leave the pits every time. I’ve been racing / instructing for 20+ years. But I must say why would you care if someone isn’t giving it 100% each lap?

    Reducing battery drain on the track

    So at LimeRock (which has about 15 L2 chargers) I would do a 20 minute session (in the instructor group so the pace is fairly rapid) I would go from 100% in the morning and roll off the track with about 60ish % remaining. Go right to the L2 and plug in and I would be at mid 90% charge about 2...

    Launch is Imminent

    An exoskeleton is a hard covering that supports and protects the bodies of some types of animals. The word exoskeleton means “outside skeleton.

    Launch is Imminent

    Why do you need to use "" around towing power. Seriously just leave this conversation. You're useless.

    My 2022 Model 3P has heat strips where the wipers sit. OMG Tesla sucks.

    Pic of your Model 3.......RIGHT NOW! [model 3 pictures thread]

    Had fun educating people about the potential of a Tesla at Watkins Glen. Lots of questions from those 2 BMW drivers and many others. The Glen is a big track but the car performed better than expected. 18x9.5 with RE71RS, MPP camber arms front and rear, MPP rear toe arms and XP10s all around.

    Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail 235/55r19 on Gemini wheels

    Yep she has been averaging 272 Wh/mi since I rotated the tires and reset the trip computer which was in May. Quite happy with that number.

    Tire Recommendations for 19x9.5 wheels street and track no commute

    Stock dampers with MPP FUCA and rear camber and toes arms. -2.5ish front and -2.5ish rear with 0 toes all around 255/40-18 Bridgestone RE71RS on 9.5 wheels. Carbotech pads and SRF fluid. Car is an absolute blast with this setup. Ran a fastest lap of 101.7 at LRP which is quite quick for a...

    Voice command: "AC off" no longer work since last year; "AC on" command still work though..

    I say "disable climate" or "enable climate" and it works every time.

    Car cutting power in middle of high speed turn

    Also check the ABS/ wheel sensor wire on the front wheels. It can make contact with the tire, especially if you have suspension work or different size wheels/tires installed. I was instructing at LR last week for 3 days and on the third day my drivers side ABS wire eventually made enough contact...

    Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

    SSR GTX01 18 x 9.5 +22 Bridgestone RE71RS MPP fuca and MPP rear camber and toe arms Still deciding on what coil overs. Need to do another track day to see how it changed from completely stock before I make any more changes. After 20 years of instructing and racing I’m following my own advice...

    Master Thread: Model 3s on the Track / drag strip- Videos, Discussion, Setup, Etc

    That's awesome. Glad you had a good time. Seems you experienced what I did with a stock car. Tires were the weakness and I was also very impressed with the stock brakes. Very fun car on track.

    Master Thread: Model 3s on the Track / drag strip- Videos, Discussion, Setup, Etc

    Yep bleed your brakes and check the pads. My car did the same thing after my recent track day.

    Drove into the garage with my bike on the roof rack...tell me how the damage looks (mainly to my wallet)

    Always a huge fear of mine. Especially since I use a roof rack on my 3 but a hitch mount on the Y soI got this on Amazon and I have it attached to the inside of my door so when the door is open it hangs down and I’m staring right at it.

    Master Thread: Model 3s on the Track / drag strip- Videos, Discussion, Setup, Etc

    Not the worst place for brakes. Hardest braking is at the end of the front straight, then right before the uphill. Braking before turn 1 would be from 130ish down to 60ish and I was just barely engaging ABS but I never felt a soft brake pedal during any of my track sessions. If I had just thrown...

    Master Thread: Model 3s on the Track / drag strip- Videos, Discussion, Setup, Etc

    I have been racing/ instructing / doing track days for almost 20 years and I just did my first day with my M3P at Lime Rock a few weeks ago. I took the car there completely stock to get a baseline. I have probably done 1000 laps at LR so I sort of know how it flows. Car was in track mode for...

    M3P Auto wipers on when in Autopilot normal? [yes]

    And the car will spray washer fluid if it deems it necessary (lots of dead bugs) while using FSD Beta. First time I've seen this happen while on the way home from a track day last weekend. I thought it was pretty cool.

    TPMS issues on M3P, Tesla saying they need to be paired to car and you cannot rotate or change wheels?

    That's a bunch of BS. I have 3 sets of wheels for my M3P ( OEM, winter and track) and they all have sensors. Zero issues when switching wheels. Car relearns after driving a short distance.

    Acceleration Boost Question

    I added AB to my wife's YLR and she loves it. Never once has she mentioned the go pedal and it being too sensitive. Sounds like the YT reviewer needs to take a driving lesson.

    Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail 235/55r19 on Gemini wheels

    Car is mainly used for daily running around by my wife, not much highway driving. I live in PA with lots of hills and a wife with a heavy foot. With the OEM wheels and tires it was averaging 270ish Wh/mile, and with the Falkens it has settle in around 310 Wh/mile after 6K miles, also it's...

    Failure on 4th day of ownership of M3

    Happened to my Model 3 P about 2 hours after getting it. I got a VC_front xxx error that would clear after a day or so then return. It never caused any problems with driving the car and once they replaced the bad component all was fine. The service center and everyone there were very helpful...

    FSD beta 11.3.1 with monthly subscription?

    It's not that bad. Subscribe for a month to try it out and have some fun with it. Now I do realize that everyone has a different idea of what is stressful but if you use it when the roads aren't super busy it's ok.

    Would you let stranger charge at your driveway for fee?

    Yep a guy with a F-150 Lightning who was low on juice because the EA chargers near me wouldn't work. He had an adapter that he said was supplied with the truck.

    Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail 235/55r19 on Gemini wheels

    I’ve been running the Falkens since November. Ride is better and I love the look. No noticeable difference with noise compared to OEM 19” setup. Less efficient but that is to be expected.

    Will this 18x8 wheel and 255/55R18 tire combo work with MYLR?

    255/55-18 Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail. on TSportline TST 18 x 8.5 +35 wheels. Zero issues and great offroad.

    Would you let stranger charge at your driveway for fee?

    Yep. I have my home listed on PlugShare for anyone that needs it. There are SuperChargers about 10 miles from my house but someone might need a charger in a pinch so why not.

    [Feature Request] Tesla Should Add the Ability to Turn Wireless Charging Off in Settings

    I use the raised area that runs vertically and let the edge of the phone rest on it which does the trick. Also you can put the phone face down.

    Have a reservation since 11-2019. I'm holding onto it and can't wait until the day I can pick it up. It will be very much worth the wait.

    Brakes Question for 22 M3LR

    Only possible with a M3P using track mode so what the tech said was true. The car will also use the brakes if regen is 100% capable of slowing the car so that might help. I noticed some noise with my wife's Model Y LR but after they introduced blended braking it seems to use the brakes enough...

    Woo Hoo!!! Just ordered my first Tesla!!!

    Awesome. I'm on my 4th Tesla and they just keep getting better. Your new car looks fantastic, love the V1 Performance wheels. The M3P reminds me of my Evo IX but with a lot more power.

    Preconditioning at different locations! Figured it out!

    I have mine set to leave for work at 6:00 am then to be ready at 4:30 for the drive home. Wish I could set it for 12 also since I go home every day for lunch (it's only a 1.2 mile trip) but I can't see a way to set multiple times at the same location. Minor problem but it would be nice.

    Tesla, Maxpider, Weathertech Floormats for 2023 Model 3

    I have the Tesla branded (Weathertech?) mats in my M3 and Tuxmats in my wifes MY. I don't drive my M3 much so they work fine but leave some carpet exposed ( dead pedal area for example) but I am fine with how they look and they do their job. The Tuxmats are a complete floor liner, they go under...

    Mystery blue tooth device

    My Tesla wall charger shows up as "Tesla wall charger" and that other device you are seeing I believe is the BT connection that allows your phone to act as a key. I see 2 numbers similar to you since I have 2 Tesla's in my garage.

    Thunk, clunk, pop, “scrape”?

    Yep same with my wifes Y. It honestly hasn't done it much after the first few months we had it. Now it has 11k miles and with the cold returning it oddly hasn't returned. Or maybe we just don't notice it anymore.

    Structure a buyout or lease transfer 2021 model Y

    You can also do a lease extension ( within 90 days of the lease expiring). So I imagine you can do a transfer then keep extending the lease so you don't have to return it. Or your friend can keep extending the lease and you make the payments?

    Stuck on 2022.28.2

    Our Y is on .28.2 for a while and that is fine Our 3 (which is only 2 months old) updated to 36.2 a month ago? No logic to the way these cars update. Or maybe there is and I'm not that smart, lol. Either way don't stress about it. Just enjoy these fine automobiles.

    Can I add a tire rotation to my records

    I use trip B to keep track of my tire rotations. I set the title to "Tire Rotation" and then just let the miles accumulate until it's time to rotate again.

    Trouble downloading 2022.28.2 ???

    They'll be in touch. That's the same process I used to get 28.2 downloaded for the Y. I was honestly impressed with their responsiveness.
