    Model S Plaid heating system sucks!!!

    My M3P 2021 was recalled to swap out the heating and cooling sensors. Before this it did exactly what you’re describing even set to high it sometimes wouldn’t blow anything other than cool air, now it works perfectly. I would imagine the sensors are the same so could be a faulty batch.

    APPALLING quality control; alignment!

    Bought a new Range Rover Supercharged Sport $105k. First oil change they tried to charge me $1,500 and failed to fix 75% of the multiple issues I had with the car. If the car needed anything it was a 6-7 week wait to get a service slot and no loaner, had to sit at Enterprise for an hour and a...

    Autowipers improved?

    Rain X messes up most auto wiper systems as it alters droplet size and confuses the system. Cleaning the windshield area over the camera with denatured alcohol and avoiding Rain X, waxes etc on that part of the glass often improves the performance significantly.

    Passenger Seat Mod

    Decided to modify the passenger seat based on most people’s reaction to a full bore start.

    Questions regarding PPF and Tints

    For $2.5k I wouldn’t bother with ceramic and spend it on more PPF. I had front bumper done in one piece, whole hood, A pillar/roof rails, rocker panels, front of rear fenders, mirrors, rear bumper below trunk opening, headlights and fog lights plus windows tinted for $2.4K. There are some really...

    Plaid Trade-in $83K WOW

    You’ve fallen into the expensive very nearly new issue. People willing to pay $130k for a new car need a huge discount to encourage them to buy used. 10-20k less but used typically isn’t enough to buy something that might not be your preferred spec and you have no idea how it’s been driven...

    Anyone else coming from a sports car?

    You might be surprised how the Tesla compares to your M3 power-wise, there’s a video of an M3P on a dyno pulling 526 bhp at the wheels and 650 lbs/ft of torque plus it’s all available pretty much instantly and no lag in between gear changes (no gears). I came from a Widebody Hellcat RedEye and...

    Vinegar A/C After 1000 miles

    Thanks for all responses, Tesla have agreed to replace and clean free of charge, hopefully it won’t come back in a thousand miles.

    Vinegar A/C After 1000 miles

    A/C always on auto, never use recirculate. Here, humidity never really gets above 40% and in summer averages 30-35

    Vinegar A/C After 1000 miles

    My A/C has a terrible vinegar smell for the first 10 minutes on a hot day. I know already discussed but here is my issue, I live in Colorado which is high desert dry so mold is never an issue, car is always garaged so doesn’t sit in the rain if it ever rained. Tesla want $125 to fix it, car was...

    2021 Tesla Sunscreens

    So the sunscreens for the M3 have been out of stock, I assumed they were being redesigned to fit the 2021. After receiving front and rear screens a couple of days ago I can confirm the do not fit they’re .5” too big so will not fit flush, I tried for half an hour.

    Mouse infiltrated Model 3

    We used to trap a dozen mice every winter then a cat adopted us and haven’t seen one for 3 years. The mice know she’s in the garage at night so they stay away

    Forced to reject my M3 SR+ today, using this as a learning experience

    All new cars have issues if you look hard enough, there are too many pieces and processes coming together.

    Questions regarding PPF and Tints

    12 cars done with Xpel, never had any issues, is genuinely self-healing. I do everything up to the A pillars, rocker panels, mirrors and rear bumper where loading groceries would catch it. My installer did the front bumper with one piece so no joins. 3M ceramic for window, tried others but for...

    good weekend sport car that complement well with model 3 owners

    Try a Mini Cooper S $30k well equipped, great fun and fast enough. I’ve had Corvettes, Shelby GT 350, AMG GTS, Porsches etc. I can’t fit in an MX5, Mini checks many boxes while being cheap enough to not worry.

    Posted 60% as OP stated a significantly slower time at 60%. I don’t have numbers for a lower soc but I’ll try and get some over the next few days.

    Should PPF look OK from 5 feet away?

    Done well, you could tell someone it had PPF and it would take them a while to find any evidence of it. A shop that knows what they’re doing would wrap the front bumper with one piece of film and custom fit it. Sorry this has happened to you but that looks like you bought a kit yourself and had...

    Performance not performing

    2021 M3P battery warm approx 60% charge. Slowest I’ve had with 1ft roll out is 3.32. As you can see all runs are below freezing. Also included 30- 70 as that roughly equates to 0-60 without traction issues.

    Rockers look sandblasted

    Not necessarily, I put on mud flaps straight away but after 2-300 miles each rocker had 15-20 significant stone chips, interestingly they were all in a patch about 6 inches wide below the door mirrors. Only fix was to touch up and have PPF installed.

    2021 M3P preforms worse than LR and a 2019 M3P

    Poor performance is a much bigger problem in ICE cars, having owned many, I can vouch for the fact that very few if any get anywhere near the manufacturer’s figures. My last car was a Hellcat Widebody RedEye, 0-60 low 3s, 800 BHP. Reality for me, mid-4s. At 5,000 ft your 800 BHP is around 680...

    2021 M3P preforms worse than LR and a 2019 M3P

    Might be able to help a little. Image is from Dragy and verified, outside temp 28 degrees F, 2021 M3P. The car had been driven for approximately ten minutes, seat heater on, heater on at 72 degrees, stereo on, 230lb driver, battery around 55-60%. As you can see 0-60 with 1ft rollout (same...

    PPF question

    After 200 miles my 2021 M3 had 15-20 rock chips on both rockers/sills, roughly below the door mirrors. I’d had the whole of the front up to the windshield done with PPF but hadn’t done this area, had to touch it up and get it covered. Only my individual experience but I’ve done 20+ cars with PPF...

    2021 Model 3 Steering Column Side to Side Movement

    Thud not present after new rack but there is still a slight movement if you move steering wheel left to right (not turning). Not noticeable when driving so I’m fine with it, if the knock comes back I won’t be.

    2021 Model 3 Steering Column Side to Side Movement

    Had this, presented as a knock while turning on roundabouts, SC replaced steering rack. Much better than before but still has slight left to right play, knock seems to have gone but only driven 50 miles since replacement. Seemed like they knew what it was as they had the part in stock and didn’t...

    Considering Selling my F-150 Raptor for Model 3 Performance

    I was in your position, I have a 2018 Raptor and couldn’t make up my mind so I bought an M3P as well with a view to giving it a year then deciding. So far I can see advantages with both, the Raptor is bomb-proof, potholes never an issue, very comfortable and practical. Tesla great fun and a much...

    Rats...[question on preventing rodent damage in model 3]

    I’m not a cat person, 3 dogs never had a cat or any interest. Shortly after we were “adopted” my wife and I sat looking at the cat one night and I said “I’m really not sure about this, what do you do with them?” My wife’s response “Whatever they tell you to do!”

    Rats...[question on preventing rodent damage in model 3]

    As already mentioned if the car is garaged, get a cat. We had a rodent problem every winter until a stray cat adopted us, she sleeps in the garage at night and we haven’t had one rodent in 3 years. It’s not that she catches them, they just don’t come in because they sense she is there.
