I plan on keeping this for a while and I'm going to have the front end and rocker panels done. It'll cut down on the chips over time and keep it looking better for longer. Both of my other Teslas were chip magnets. This is my first new one and I'd like to try to keep it as nice as I can for...

That Blue is really nice. I picked up mine today and the FSD transferred the moment the car was accepted. Tomorrow it goes in to have the PPF installed.

I have a blue M3 with the white interior and really like it but the gray is also nice. Went with the black interior because if I end up keeping this for a long time black would probably be better than white. With towing it was $46,980 after referral code. I'm sure if I had waited until next...

This time it came up without the coming soon message. .27/KW is the cheapest in the area for peak charging.

I pick up my new Y on Thursday. I went with the LR with the tow package. The LR was only $1570 more than the identically equipped standard version after figuring in the higher discount on the LR. That made it a no brainer if only for the resale value. What actually made me look for the LR at...

I see it in the app but when I select it the message says coming soon.

Drove by there today and they were working on them. They had the covers off of all the chargers.

Thank you for your comment. I appreciate the feedback. I've been going back and forth with this decision and I agree with everything you said. The one thing that's still keeping me from moving forward is that I've been reading somewhat negative comments about the current 4680 combined with...

Good points. How does the 4680 perform in cold weather? Unfortunately it's too early to know about degradation which may make the 2170 the safer bet.

I've tried searching before starting a new thread. I was surprised to not find a lot of questions on this subject. I have a M3 with FSD and I am considering getting a MY and transferring the FSD. I know the new MY has HW4 and FSD beta won't be available for a while and V12 will lag at least 6...

I miss my MS and would love to get another one but it's simply out of my price range for the foreseeable future. Nice price drop on them!

Real world difference isn't 51 miles and it doesn't save any stops. Charging speed is what, maybe 3-4 minutes each stop, if that? Plus how many trips do you take each year? The question is, do you buy a vehicle based on what you might need it for once or twice per year or do you buy it based...

Did you read my post? Unless you're charging to 100% the difference in range is less. Real trip planning shows very little difference in charging time and no difference in number of required stops. Local driving results in no difference in required range for almost everyone. Slower? 4.8 vs...

I'm researching the AWD vs the LR and this is one difference that I've dismissed as being irrelevant. First if you charge to 80% that reduces the difference in range. Then if you account for real world factors it probably reduces your range roughly about another 70% on average depending on...

Thank you but I've looked at that site. What I'm looking for is something like, the RWD 2023 M3 comes with these features and this hardware. I'm looking for answers like, does it come with a heated steering wheel, the new chipset, the 5mp cameras, so on and so forth. This is one area where...

Where can I find accurate information on what different M3s come with? I have a 2020 M3 SR+ with FSD that I'm thinking of selling to get a new M3 but I'd like to get an accurate list of features of the different trims along with what's been improved since my 2020 M3, that was built in 2019. I...

Update: I purchased the car and I love it. It's much better than I thought it would be after coming from the S. I do like the S more but this 3 is a really great car. The one concern I had about the car was the battery. The first time I ran it to 100% it came out to 208 miles. I adjusted...

I went from a 2013 S to a 2020 3SR+ with FSD and 100k less miles plus I saved about $1000. That switch was worth it. I gained more than I gave up. Much bigger difference going from a 2013 to a 2020 than the difference between a 2020 and a 2022. However, given your choice, it wouldn’t even be a...

Hands down the LR. The difference in range negates the heat pump. The LR is quicker and AWD. If you live in an area where you’d want the heat pump then you’re probably in an area where AWD would be highly preferred over RWD. If you need CCS it can be added but most people probably won’t need it.

Thank you for sharing this. At the end of the video he shows how to "fix" it without taking the dash apart. I went out to my M3 and put some pressure in that area the sound went away! That rattle is very annoying and now I know what has to be done. Thank you!

How much did they say the unpainted bumper would cost?

You're right about the charging. Oh well that's the same rate of charge per hour that my S had. Not a big deal. This 3 has the standard 18" wheels. I like the 18" tire size because it will probably give a little better ride but those wheels are getting replaced at some point. I drive mostly...

It is a standard plus. I’m not able to take full advantage of the tax credits so that’s not on the table. Plus I’m getting this one for slightly lass than half of a new one with the same options. If this battery goes out after the warranty it looks like a refurbished battery from tesla is...

It’s a 2020 standard plus with 57k on it equipped with FSD. Everything checks out ok except I’m concerned about the battery health. Looks like the full charge is only 210 miles. If that’s correct then it could have as much as 16% battery degradation. I will be charging with at home with a Tesla...

554.22 They told me that the leak had corroded an electrical connection and it had to be replaced.

I've received so much help from this forum and others. I'm glad that I was able to help someone in return. Mine is still working without any problems since I "fixed" it.

Good point. I’m going to take tomorrow off and start the process of trying to run down this leak.

The area is free from leaves and anything else that could block the flow of water. There is evidence that it's been leaking for a while but most likely less than a year. I originally thought it was coming from the passenger side roof because that area leaked a lot of water onto the floor. Now...

Fixed the roof leaks in my 2013, at least so far so good. However, I have found another leak. It appears it's coming from behind the dash near the firewall (is it called a firewall in a Tesla). Had a heavy rain last night. The only reason I found it is because I had the carpet pulled back...

Testing went well today! Looks like the leaks just might be fixed! Gtech, those pictures were very helpful. I had a hard time finding information on fixes for these roof leaks. I took a few pictures and I think I'm going to post a separate thread about how I fixed my problem. Maybe someone...

Ok both of the rear drains were stopped up. Got them cleared and then pulled down the headliner. All four drains were loose and one of them just fell off when I lowered the headliner. Cleaned everything and put a little silicon on the drains before sliding the hoses back on. The silicon is...

I thought there were two drain holes so the answer would be, no I haven’t done that. Where are the other two holes?

Hasn't Tesla been removing FSD from cars that go through dealerships? I've seen posts on this forum about it. I thought only private party sales retain FSD.

Thank you but I'm in NC. I contacted Electrified Garage in Florida but they didn't know if it could be done and also didn't seem interested in doing it.

Does anyone know if it's possible to replace the sunroof with solid glass? My roof keeps leaking and I'm not about to pay $4000 to get it replaced just to have it leak again. I'm about to the point of disabling it and sealing it shut! I thought I had it figured out, just don't have the car...

Went by Tesla since I had to go into Charlotte anyways and they said it is a breather tube.

I have a 2013 Model S that doesn't have any features compared to newer Teslas. It's just a lux electric car. No AP or even parking sensors. I have upgraded the MCU and I get free supercharging along with free LTE. I've driven the X, 3 and Y. The 3 and Y are just fast cars. They have some...

My 2013 Model S sunroof keeps leaking and it seems the only fix is to replace the top with a second gen top at around $4k. I've decided to disable the roof (pulled the fuse) and put a sheet of PPF over the entire roof. That should equal no more leaks and still look fairly good. This last time...

I'm not sure how long this fix will last but it takes less than 30 minutes. First there is no need to remove the tire. Turn the wheel to the left, pop out the 2 bottom clips and the pump is right behind the liner on the driver's side. Very easy access and plenty of room. Removal of the pump...

Tesla over MB every day of the week by a long shot. That's a poor comparison because European luxury cars don't last long at all anymore. They're money pits! Far less can go wrong with a Tesla and Tesla's have proven to be able to last much longer than any European vehicle with fewer...

Listen to the naysayers with a grain of salt, a big grain of salt. There is some wisdom in what they're saying but their overall advice to simply not consider an out of warranty Tesla is WRONG! To say they're throw away cars after the warranty runs out is foolish. If that's the case then when...

I understand but my point was that at that price it isn't worth it for me to do it myself. I could easily fix it myself but materials are going to cost me at least half that amount and my time is worth more than that. OK I still have to bring my car in and wait for it but that's easier. I'm...

Try this Thread I have an appointment to get my 4-way valve replaced on the 21st and the estimate is $183. It includes a coolant purge and flush. To me that's well worth the cost!

Thank you for your suggestions. I sent a second text to the number I have and they said this number isn't monitored but obviously it is. They scheduled an appointment for me. I'll have to remember to have them cancel the appointment from back in February because I suspect that it might be...

I tried quitting the app and then logging back in, no luck. Guess I'm going to have to drive to the SC again. Tried texting but no response. Tesla no-service strikes again! Any other company I'd run away from but I love this car! Luckily I'm about 45 minutes from the SC depending on traffic.

Schedule service option is missing and the appointment that Tesla entered back in February can't be cancelled.

The app won't let me schedule an appointment for service. Back in February Safelite was going to order a new rain sensor for the windshield they installed and Tesla made an appointment that I didn't see until after it was scheduled. I never approved the estimate because the rain sensor started...

Actually as they eventually expand their service departments to handle repairs that should become a major source of revenue and profit which will help their earnings per share.

Reading this thread sounds so doom and gloom! I purchased a 2013 with 150k on it without hesitation. Sure there is the possibility of some expensive repairs down the road but replacing the battery and/or the drive unit is far less expensive than buying new, which I can't afford. Plus at 150k...

It'll take a long time before governments will allow a robotaxi fleet. It'll be long after the tech actually works and is safe which doesn't look like that's anytime soon. Tesla would be foolish to hold onto off leased M3s. There is a severe shortage of used cars on the market and prices have...
