    Taken from a late 2022 model 3 with 5000 miles. Wheels are in good condition, one is absolutely pristine, two have slight curb marks, and the 4th has a small curb ding. All tires are in basically new condition with full tread, no patches, and no discernable wear whatsoever. Factory installed...

    LR AWD getting a new battery chemistry for 2023?

    Tesla just slipped the LR AWD Model 3 back into the US market with a reduced range battery which does not qualify for the full tax credit. And curiously, it's *exactly* the same price as the Model Y AWD, which does qualify. This might hint at the reason the 3LR has been off the US market for...

    I paid full price for this car, why am I forced to deal with so many ads?

    The phone app is essential to all modern Teslas and a full 10% of the menu is devoted to ads for stupid crap that I don't want to buy. Inside the car, the main menu that I use for critical functions *while driving* is cluttered with ads for junk that I don't want to buy. Now Tesla is spamming my...

    Active steering centering?

    I've noticed that the Model 3 drives much straighter than my previous cars and I've also sensed a little extra heaviness in the steering around center that almost feels artificial... ... then one day I was adjusting front toe, and mistakenly turned both tie rods the same direction instead of...

    What's wrong with the turn signals?

    Soooo, I've been trying to figure out what it is that I'm doing wrong. With Joe Mode and Robert Plant Mode enabled it can be tough to tell if the signals are working - but I keep getting the sense that they're not. And when they do work, I sometimes have a heck of a time trying to cancel them...

    DIY: Improving the coat hooks

    Starting a new company is hard, especially a car company. Sometimes little insignificant details like coat hangers need to be entrusted to summer interns. Unfortunately, the intern who designed the Model 3 coat hooks was high off his freakin' ass. I didn't quite know how to fix this. Ideally...

    DIY: Improving the responsiveness of the horn

    My horn wouldn't work when the right side was pressed. Older models often have trouble with the left side being inoperative due in part to some interference with a screw head on that side. This solution should work for both. Time: 20 minutes Difficulty: 3/10 Tools needed: Hammer Tip: Leave the...

    Walk away lock while reaching for the charger

    Is it just me? Normally when I park and walk away the car takes a very long time to lock - at a leisurely pace I'm usually 5-10 car-lengths away by the time I faintly hear the horn beep in the distance. But when I park at a free Level 2 charger I run as fast as I can around the back of the car...

    Network connectivity issues, streaming, traffic, voice control often not working

    My first year of ownership has included very frequent connectivity trouble. Music stops mid-song or never starts at all, some podcasts play fine, others not at all, some streaming stations work, others don't, Nav will often say it's routing without traffic data, voice controls are inoperative...

    Windshield bummer

    My wife and I have logged almost a half-million miles in this town with tiny rock chips occurring about once every 3-4 years that I fix periodically with the one little repair kit I bought about 10 or 15 years ago. But the Model 3 only made it 8000 miles before the windshield was destroyed by...

    New J1772 Charging adapter - $50 - free shipping - latest version

    I don't want to threadcrap any of the many listings here but also don't want to see my friends overpaying for gray market, counterfeit, or early revision adapters with no warranty considering how often these things seem to melt. https://shop.tesla.com/product/sae-j1772-charging-adapter

    Dangerous flaw in the parking brake logic? [issue resolved after owner testing]

    Last night I had finished positioning the car on a steep hill and it was "holding" in the usual ABS-driven mode flawlessly and seamlessly as usual - until I pressed the "park" button. The ABS *instantly* released, sending the car into a backward freefall for about 2-3 feet down the hill until...

    DIY correcting sunken door handles to be flush with the body as intended

    So it seems that one of the new "features" of the 2021 Model 3 is sunken rear door handles. This was one of the issues I noted after bringing my new car from the delivery center straight to the repair center on day 1 as so many people do. The SA gasped at my door handles and exclaimed "That...

    Homelink triggered halfway inside the garage

    I have a pretty regular house with a pretty regular ~40' driveway and Homelink has been working flawlessly for months. It is set for 100' and nothing has ever changed, nor have I received any recent software updates (2021.4.18.2). Every time I back out of the garage the Homelink triggers...

    Why didn't Tesla combine the electronic door release button with the mechanical emergency handle?

    The emergency handles on the front doors are nicely made and well positioned in a familiar/intuitive location. Why did Tesla camouflage them and add separate electronic release buttons instead of simply integrating the electronic triggers into the mechanical handles? The emergency handle...

    2021 Model 3 Performance 20" Uberturbine wheels, naked and perfect! $1595

    First showcased during the initial unveiling of the Model 3 back in 2016, Franz von Holzhausen's original turbine wheel design finally made it to production with the 2021 Model 3 Performance. Tesla has changed the Performance wheel each year for the last 3 years, so this is likely to be a...

    Should PPF look OK from 5 feet away?

    This is my first experience with paint protection film so I don't really know if it's supposed to look like this or not. The way people go on about it on the interwebs makes it sound like it usually looks just fine. Anyway, I thought I'd give it a try so I went to the highest rated place in...

    Marketplace concerns

    Does anyone know how to contact the TMC mods? The marketplace postings seem to be overrun by threadcrappers lately (spillover from Tesla Forums?) and admins seem to be stuck in their wet paper bag. OP needs to have post-deletion rights in all topics, especially marketplace.
