I had a projectile from a tractor mowing the side of the road go through my rocker panel. It damaged the inside rocker panel that was hardened steel. Repair came in at just under $15,000. Took 3 months of repair. Consider yourself lucky

You might have a bit of credibility if you didn't just join to flame Tesla. You have had the car 9 months ago and you just joined... Interesting🤔

I’ve purchased a wide variety of tires for all kinds of vehicles. From my experience, differences between brands is not that dramatic, types of tires like summer performance and all weather, etc is. There are too many variables between drivers, road and environmental conditions to truly...

Well, the owner of the mower business investigated and it was not a failed blade. The inside rocker which is hardened steel and has to have a cold repair was also damaged. They consulted Tesla engineering on the repair and will have to precisely cut out the damaged area and the surrounding...

Not sure. Whatever it was may still be embedded in the car.

Yes the mower stopped, called his supervisor and the owner of the company doing the work for the state called. Asked to be presented with an estimate and he would write a check. My issue is supplementals once they get into the repair. Just have a paint scrape on my motor home repaired last...

Well, Saturday I had a close encounter with a projectile coming from a John Deer Tractor mowing the grass along the roadside. Not sure how they can fix this damage or what kind of cost will be involved. The owner of the company called me right away and said tossed an estimate and he will write...

Ditto on the Smokingman advice. I use a low profile floor jack with proper rating.

Regen braking aggressiveness is also affected by battery charge level. Look at the energy bar. When regen braking, the bar moves left and is green. If your battery is highly charged, regenerative braking is reduced. This is indicated on the energy bar on the left side by a broken or dashed line.

Based on the quality of the Tesla box it came in, I personally can't see the need for a case, I'm just placing it back in its box and in the frunk it goes.

That is for a M3. In the trunk of the 3 there is a protruding bolt on the right side under what is the back deck. It screws onto the protruding bolt like it is a cap for the bolt

My CSS1 transaction totaled $309. Pretty cheap for a backup considering I believe the Tesla CHADEMO charger was $495 when it was available from Tesla. I know now I'm covered for probably 95% of the charging sites out there.

Yes you can. You will need to find an EA station with a J1772 plug so you can use the J1772 adapter that you should have with your car or have purchased the CHADEMO adapter that Tesla used to sell. Only other option is to do what I did and purchase a CSS1 adapter from Tesla Korea through a...

Let's see: 1>. Tesla has "fun factor" over any truck unless your off-roading. 2> Tesla much much more economical over the truck Most importantly, it's a car, you bought it to drive so drive it! Wear and tear happens unless you just bought it to be a "Garage Queen"

First off, let me set the record, I paid to have my repeaters replaced. As to blaming Tesla not to replace the repeater cameras under warranty, I have to agree with them. This is not a design defect or manufacturing issue of the cameras. I originally asked if they would replace them under...

Yep, me for one. If they won't do a refund, perhaps I can barter with them for a free alignment or other service. The new repeater cams really make a difference. Now the yellow/orange flashing is gone, I realize now how distracting the yellow/orange flashing on the screen was at night, even...

Not sure but I do know for sure that you don't want to keep the car at 100% charge. 80% will make your battery much happier. 100% only if your going on a trip.

No, quite fine for me. I've had three mobile service calls since I purchased the car in Dec 2020. First was the installation of the Homelink module. The second was to repair an interior panel which came a bit loose. The third was just last week for the replacement if the wood trim panel on...

I had an existing Mobile Service appointment for 2/8. I sent a message that I added and issue with the cameras glare at night requesting if it was a warranty item. Received a reply back the next day and they said yes it is covered. Updated service estimate shows the camera issue at $0. I'd...

Received an update (2021.44.30.7) yesterday and the pressure display issue is no more. Guess the pushed out a few patches.

The other day I changed my wheel configuration as I removed the aero caps. Tire pressure when you select service was gone, just the button choices. Figured car may need to reset the pressures. After 40 miles still no car and pressures only the buttons. Set the wheel configuration back to the...

I have just a small spot on my 1 yr old trim piece. What do you think about tung oil you seal the wood trim?

The car will turn systems on and off as needed to protect electronics, cool internal components, etc. For example, the car will continue to run a fan to dry out the condenser for the climate system to prevent the funky A/C smell that can develop. No worried, I don't believe you have anything...

I see just a few negative about their experience with Tesla. I moved from a 2017 Dodge Charger R/T with 91K miles to a 2021 M3 LR. Received the car 2 weeks after ordering, delivery was flawless as was the car and the delivery process took 45 minutes, not the normal 3 - 5 hours of a...

It's a car, I take my M3 through the local carwash a couple times a week. Took my red 2017 Dodge Charger through this wash hundreds of times in 3 years. No damage ever. Washing is the least of the hazards in daily driving that the car sees.

No reason at all to have a SC install it. I went into the app, plunked down the 2K and before I could walk out to the car in the parking lot, the upgrade was done.

Am I missing something here? Just keep the damn car clean, problem solved.

Have a car loan with TD Auto Finance. They are a bit slow. If I remember correctly, it was about 2 weeks before my payment was due that I received stuff in the mail.

I’d demand free oil changes for life! Like Plantini said, in the scheme of things the “interest earned” is minimal. Let them take a bit of time to get the car perfect then just enjoy your new ride.

just saying, this story sure sound similar to and penned in the same style as a person from the Tesla forum who was tagged as a troll. May be wrong if so sorry, just super feeling of deja vue

Just curious... where is FORDMME commenting on this topic? He is usually out there vehemently touting how great the MME is. Perhaps video evidence is just too hard to deny. I hope Ford can get their charging issues worked out. I believe they have a lot of work to do. I have owned Fords...

30% on the windows. I left the back window as it was, untinted. I was concerned that the roof would be too dark. Didn't know it I would like it and I could always get it tinted if I needed. So far, not one person has asked or noticed that the sides are tinted and the back window is not...

No worries. Just enjoy your car.

Experimented bit on the drive to work. Had the store call, fist call had to increase volume to hear them. Second call, volume was where I adjusted it. Turned off bluetooth. Restarted bluetooth on the phone and had the store call after the phone was connected. Volume needed adjustment. Once...

I am sure we will see this soon in the US. My thinking is that you will need to have the odometer read as a process of getting you yearly vehicle registration and a ”fee” added based on the previous years reading. I can hear the sucking sound almost now coming from my wallet.

Same issue on my iPhone 11. I’ve just gotten into the habit of spinning up the volume on the first call. Subsequent calls seem fine. It seems like there is a default setting somewhere when the phone initially connects. I’ll try turning off the bluetooth after the first call this morning and...

Very glad no one was hurt over a car. That is what God made insurance for. Here in the US, at least in many states someone coming into your home is highly unlikely. Between the alarm, armed family and the canine they would not have the opportunity to search for much let alone get near the...

I live in Florida as well. I chose the M3LR. With all the rain we get the dual range AWD was a factor. The car is very well planted. The added battery can’t be added after the sale. The sound system and fog lights are an added perk. i test drove the SR+ and the sound system between the SR+ and...

Food is highly overrated!

I believe you're pretty safe as long as your name isn't Tiger Woods.

Gerdie, meaning protected.

Not sure this would have anything to do with it. Shortly after I purchased my M3 I ordered new puddle lights. Each time I removed a LED light in the bottom of the door, the screen went dark and the music stopped. As soon as I plugged in the new LED puddle light, the screen immediately came on...

I do. RV's do not use 240v, the wiring on a RV (50amp service) has each 110V leg isolated. Half the overall load of the RV systems will be on L1, the other half on L2, everything is 110V. You basically have 2, 50 AMP circuits available. I have a 14-50 wired in my garage and at my busimness...

My guess is to why Tesla dropped the 240V adapters is for the same reason when you buy a 240V appliance, they do not come with a cord. Local electrical codes for 240V circuits vary across the country. I offer 3 & 4 prong Dryer cords and 3 & 4 prong electric range cords to my customers. It's...

Black trim on mine is all uniform. Is it that way on both driver and passenger sides?

My Experience was completely different. Ordered my M3 LR on Dec 5 from the Tampa SC. A VIN was assigned a week or so later then a delivery day assigned (Dec 18) a few days later. Being a business owner in retail my time can be difficult to manage. I called and asked if a day earlier would be...

Orders Max Liners from Amazon. Fit perfectly and equal quality to the Weathertech liners in my Charger. $130 for front and rear.

Just checked my 2021 LR M3. Quick push of the stalk goes into park without the parking brake icon present. Longer push and the brakes clamp down and the parking brake icon appears.
