That's what I mean: WHAT search function? If I input for example, "Biodefense Weapon" nothing shows. But trying to look it up under the letter "B" I can no longer find an alphabetic look up option.

I used to be able to do an alphabetically search in the immense number of topics of the owner's manual. Now I have to wade through section after section to try to find what I am looking for. Has the alphabetical search been omitted? Or am I doing it wrong?

An alphabetical search mode used to be available in the Owner's manual section. How can find that mode of search now, rather than wade through sub-sections?

Thanks, the linked posts addressed other aspects of different widths but not the issue I am most interested in: which 18" width has better grip on ice and snow.

This brings up a question no one to date has been able to answer for me: all things equal, will the narrower 235 studded Hakkapeliittas bite into the ice and snow better than the 255 width?

Thanks. The aspect ratio was hard to see. So, unlike previous posts who think an 8.5 is too wide (i.e. not ideal) for that tire size, you found no noticeable disadvantage?

Tires are what size?

I am trying to find even one set of 18x8 rims anywhere for a 235/55R18 or 245/50-18 tire, but cannot find one. Will the 8.5 width work?

How do you avoid automatic software updates? Is it enough to toggle to "Standard" update option?

Thanks for the tip to buy an accelerator! C

Thank you. I still have a bit of wind noise coming from a gap at the upper rear edge of the glass next to the B-pillar. I am thinking of buffering the existing molding from behind, for greater pressure against the glass. I am unsure whether there is access behind the upper B-pillar plastic panel.

Thanks. I wish there was a photo from a bit more of a distance, to better understand the general area.

"#1 - The solution for wind noise is the following - Z Weatherstrip down inside the leading edge of the front door, I cannot see from your photo whether the Z weatherstrip is glued to the frame or the door. Please clarify.

1. Design a protective cover/deflector for the backup camera. When it rains, the rear view is a joke. 2. Reduce the opening gap for the windows when opening/closing the doors. When it rains, the interior gets wet. Porsche uses a 1/4" gap which is sufficient for cabin pressure equalization.

putting extra locks on (2-5 per wheel) would be another good deterrent, moreso if they are different styles Really? If I have to triple and quadruple lock every wheel with locks from several different manufacturers to prevent theft, I would think the whole idea is an abject failure.

See if you can find some that have a spinning collar that makes "pound on the 12pt socket" method of removal harder. You have a brand in mind? Advanced Wheel Locks look interesting but do not have the right depth to work with Tesla studs.

You may be a moderator, but your answer is above my pay grade, sorry. Let me try it a different way: will installing wheel locks make a significant difference in deterring wheel theft or not? (Now please don't try to parse "significant".) If so, is there a type that does it better than others?

Sifting through threads on the subject, it seems to come down to two philosophies: 1. Wheel locks are useless, they just slow down any wheel thief by a few minutes 2. They are a great deterrent that will stop anyone but seasoned professionals I am searching for the definitive answer to...

Order numbe for the above (Summer, not AS!): 1033439

Thanks for asking a clarifying question. From a forged wheel I want: 1. less unsprung weight 2. less propensity for wheel bends 3. same or better handling 4. no reduction in range (hence same wheel/tire size as stock) Ride quality is not an issue. I would be concerned if thicker sidewalls...

I am about to buy the forged lightweight Unplugged UP-03 for my 2021 M3P and am starting to wonder which of the two sizes, all else being equal, will give me the better, quicker, more agile handling? (I'd like to stickjwith 235s, and also I am aware and used to the rougher ride with 20" from my...

Good point. The brand-new Summer version of the Hankook Evo, which is available in the stock-Tesla 20" size (20/235/35) makes the choice easy: #116

Yes, I just odered the summer version from Discount Tires: 20/235/35 (stock M3P) = $1500 including mounting, balancing and hazard warranty: https://www.hankooktire.com/us/en/tire/ion/evo.html

if you want fully forged and have money to burn, go for it. But the cost/benefit ratio isn't what it used to be Can you point me to any tests that support your opinion?

And sticking with forged in 20x9? That's a weird place to spend $$$ on performance when you don't even want to go to a wider tire. My thinking: I do not want to sacrifice range, which is shitty enough on the M3P, but stick to low-noise foam-lined Michelin, Pirelli, etc. tires. That's weird...

Wheel discussions can be overwhelming. Too many threads, too little time, and no easy search terms leading me to what I want: A true forged (not flow formed) M3P wheel, size: 20x9, +35mm ET. (Not interested in changing the stock wheel geometry of the car). I am just after significant weight...

Also did some deeper dive into the Hankook summer tire equivalent to the Ion EVO AS, the Ventus iON S, but at this point it does not look like it's been tested against other brands in Europe or Asia, let alone being available for purchase in the U.S..

Entering "2021 Tesla Model 3 Performance" on the Tire Rack site, neither a 20" nor any other Hankook Ion EVO AS shows as being available: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/brands/hankook Any idea where I can search the site? P.S.: What about curb rash? Does the new Hankook address the nutty...

Let me meditate on that. Any area where I might find Waldo?

Current interface does no longer have the star option which, when pressed, adds or deletes a favorite FM station. On the "Favorites" page I only see a bunch of station logos, but cannot see a prompt to delete any of them. How is this done?

P.S.: I just realize that question 1 is moot: not only does what I describe seem to be a common problem that has already been discussed over seven pages here, but, l funnily enough, the subject line of the thread I had created last night in the "interior and exterior" sub forum (which was...

The slightest road unevenness triggers a low-level, low frequency drone inside the cabin in our brand new MY LR (19"wheels). That drone increases on deteriorated road surfaces. It is not present in our M3P. My guess: this drone (around 100Hz) is caused by a combination of lack of mechanical...

I am having a hard time finding the right size push pin fastener online from aftermarket vendors. There are four pin fasteners holding the footwell cover that is below the glove-box. (Tesla conveniently forgot to install two of them in my then-new 2021 M3P). Could anyone point me to a source?

The Tesla manual for my M3P (Model 3 Owner's Manual | Tesla) states an alternative tire size for 20" rims: 20" Front/Rear 245/35ZR20 Does that mean there is a Telsa-spec rated (i.e. quiet) tire available in that size? And, if so what brands?

Excellent response. Thank you!

Please explain the difference between Telsa-approved tires with T0 and T1 designation. Thanks.

My aims: 1. Keep it quiet. My ears are hyper-sensitive to road noise 2. Don't introduce dimensional hiccups (computer not recognizing or adjusting to odd size circumferences) 3. This should actually be Number 1: stop curb rashes. Uberturbines and 235/35/20s are a joke! 4. Adding a little more...

Sorry, Iv'e only got to page 10 so far, please forgive me if the quastion is answered later on: Has Michelin released a Pilot Sport PS4S in size 245/35/20 with Tesla noise specs (T0) yet?

Thanks, I gather as much about the curent supply issue, but I was specifically asking: "What are people actually paying when they get ahold of one?"

I am getting confused by all the recent up-and down-and up again price jerking. What's the current price range for Model3 Long Range? What are people actually paying when they get ahold of one?

Really? I thought on M3P the default mode is 50%/50% power distribution, unless dialed in differently in trackmode?

Thank you, I guessed as much, but have no real explanation why.

I still have a decent amount of thread left on the summer Pirellis that came with the car when new. Now that these are off the car (currently using snow tires mounted on their own wheels), I noticed that two of the Pirellis have slightly more thread left than the other two, but I do not remember...

Thank you very much. I ordered that mirror and will report back. I also made another appointment with a Tesla mobile service technician.

Here is hoping that all your other 5,532 contributions are equally enlightening!

Moderator note: Thread title was edited to reduce click-baitiness. There are supposedly ten Superchargers in the basement of the Fairmont in Whistler. Only problem: you have to first pay a fee to get into the garage (no work around- I asked). Though it's "only" $7.50, it annoys me that I have...

I have the same problem as the OP: rear view mirror auto-dimming, especially of LED an Xenon headlights, is a joke. The dimming filter seems to focus the glare of certain wavelengths of light (the bluish type with higher Kelvin numbers). The insufficient dimming has been quite tiring on long...

whether you have power while YOU are there (???) I will end in San Francisco, which, from what I hear, is not affected by power outages

P.S.: also posted this on the Model 3 site, but have not received any responses.

Before I start my trip through the hottest area in the country right now, I want to check open Supercharger stalls along I-5 in Northern California, which, because of the historic heat dome, is prompting PGE brownouts for the next couple of days. If I cannot charge due to shut-offs by the...
