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?

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.

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...

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...

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...

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?

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?

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...

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...

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...

Before I start my trip tomorrow through the hottest area in the country right now, I want to check today's 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...

The protective lip on the Pirellis of my 2021 M3P does not stick out far enough to protect the edge of the Uberturbines from curb rash. I remember there was a thread on TMC on this mismatch, and a possible solution. Can someone point me to it? Thanks, C

My 2021 M3P (11,000 miles) will get a new/reconditioned/whatever battery pack under warranty, due to severe loss of range overnight (down to 220 miles @90% charge) What is the model number of my battery pack? Because I am the lucky owner of the then-new 82KWh batteries that came out right...

Today I drove my friend's brand-new (2022) Model Y (Dual Motors, not Performance). The regenerative braking in his car is significantly stronger compared to my 2021 MP3. It feels like I am hitting the brakes when I get off the gas. Is this normal? Is the regen braking in the Performance model...

As soon as I exit the car to unlock my gate at night, the lights go out. Now I stumble in the dark trying to insert the key into the pad lock. How do I keep the lights on to illuminate this task?

The radio silences when I open the door, so I can no longer follow an interview or whatever is interesting at that moment, even when just opening the gate or garage door. On my Bolt, open door volume can be set. How about on the Model 3?

When will I be able to activate that in my Model 3?

After several right rear wheel curb rash incidents marring my Uberturbine rims, I realize that the lines on the rear view camera are not correctly identifying the wheel travel, but the line is outside of the trajectory, hence the wheel scaping the curb before I know it. Is there a way to...

.. or can I use a scroll wheel function for that?

While it's clear that manually setting the brightness locks it to a chosen value regardless of light conditions, I don't understand the "auto" setting. Why can I adjust the slider in "Auto" to, say, 40%, when it then drifts off that percentage to some unknown value? Why even have that option...

My iPhone's visuals show on the Tesla screen when I play a podcast, play a song from my (iPhone, not streaming) Spotify library, and so on, but how can I show a photo from my iPhone's "Photo" app on the Tesla screen?

It's been many months since the last and mostly dreadful screen update in January. Anyone have any idea when there will be a UI screen update that corrects some of the blunders, or gives users options in layout?

I have done a partial wrap on the front of my white 2021 M3P. Now the hard part: there are several options how to balance the front with a partial wrap on the rear. But I would love to do a simulation on my laptop first, to see which of various options would look best. Is there an online tool...

After purchasing my first M3P in December, I immediately appreciated the TMC Community's social spirit: rarely snide or arrogant, always something new to learn and share, patiently responding to my many newbie questions- a positive, helpful attitude throughout. My first multi-day road trip...

Other cars have trunk-mounted loops or hooks to attach a rope or bungie to hold down items. Does anyone know of an aftermarket product to achieve this?

Assuming a similar (gentle) style of driving and accelerating, would using Chill add range over Standard? Has anyone ever tabulated that?

Software Version 2021.4.6 cryptically states: "Your car will now display a slightly higher range to more accurately reflect the capacity of the battery." Not having recorded the state of charge before today's update, to see whether the displayed increase is even noticeable, can anyone enlighten...

There was quite a bit of consternation since the screen's real estate was changed in the last update: what used to be a generously sized map combined with a reasonably wide info area on the left has turned into a cramped map and way too large info section whose way too small font and symbols...

I really like the option of setting the power delivery to the drive axles in track mode for regular (non-track) driving. I live in a mountainous environment, and prefer at least a 60:40 rear biasing. But I do not understand why resetting bias must be automatically associated with range loss...

Is Slip Start Tesla’s only way to turn off Traction Control? Or can it also be switched off in track mode? If both modes are available, are they mutually exclusive? I used Slip Start in heavy snow but am not sure whether it was totally defeating any stability control intervention from the...

I bought a new Model 3 Performance in December, did not buy FSD but it somehow came with it installed, anyway, and said so under "purchased" on the screen and in my app. It worked from day one. So I thought someone made a mistake and gave lucky me a free FSD! Today I got a notification on my...
