    The F-150 Lightning Is not what I expected - Anyone else feel the same?

    Just charge your vehicle when you need to charge it. Don't over think it, I had my model 3P for 3 years (traded for lightning) and still have the Model Y. It's not like everyone at the superchargers were saints before it was opened up. I've seen line cutters, people who walked off into the movie...

    The F-150 Lightning Is not what I expected - Anyone else feel the same?

    @johnr Are you not using the 360 degree top down view in conjunction with the rear camera? That top down view is the best thing I have ever seen when it comes to vehicle cameras. I use it all the time.

    The F-150 Lightning Is not what I expected - Anyone else feel the same?

    I also made the switch on Jan 20th. 2021 model 3 performance to 2023 Lightning Lariat. This is my take after 3 weeks. I prefer my Wife's Y to my 3 and part of the reason I made the switch is I'm getting older and the 3P was to low. It was like sitting on the floor and with no grab handles (Tesla...

    Garage door opener alternatives

    I took the small Chamberlin garage remote and double side velcro sticked it to the bottom of the Tesla Screen. It's hidden and works great for a quick no look press to open and close the door.

    It was startling

    If range is not an issue, then you will be completely happy with the M3P. Just remember to look all around before you punch it at a light and leave all the ICE performance cars in the dust lol.

    Headlights not auto-on in the fog??

    I have been turning mines on manually for the last couple of weeks for this reason. Are the light controls not influenced by what the camera sees?

    It was startling

    Go for the Model S if you can swing it either LR or Plaid for the extra range and creature comforts. I have a M3P and love it, however there is more to life than 0-60 and after a while it will become normal to you. I picked mines up in Feb, I still do a 0-60 pull every now and then, but not as...

    Help me decide: Model Y or Mach-E

    Tesla in CA = You see them all day everyday. Mach E in CA = I have seen 3 and I remember each one because it's still like a unicorn.

    M3P - Who switched from a (true) sports car?

    Don't forget Boat Mode, no True Sports car could have survived the flood I found myself in last weekend. M3P went into boat mode to my surprise and I drove out of it. All while seeing all these stopped cars in the roadway including an Audi S4 or A4 couldn't tell water was high with owner sitting...

    Wipers don't work properly in Auto

    Wipers are vastly improved since we bought in Jan. In the crazy Cali storm today Auto was perfect.

    Questions about Ordering

    You should reserve now, the price just went up again. I believe you have until the car is ready, I would look at locking things in 30-60 days before your delivery date.

    Price Increase on model 3 [Oct 2021]

    Depends on how long you have been sitting. M3P is up 3k since I bought mines earlier this year.

    So, uh, stay away from dump trucks

    Don't feel bad, about two months ago a Cement Truck started dropping cement all over our main road.....it took hours to hose it all of it off :mad:

    Driving without a key card or phone

    Simple solution since you are using the card.......remove the phone as a key :)

    What do you think of the uberturbine wheels on the M3P?

    There is a lip that sticks out past the rim. You need to see it in person.

    dropping audio when switched from home network to bluetooth

    Same thing happens to me when it switches from Home Network to Cell Network. I think this is normal since it's switching networks. The audio always comes back after a few seconds correct?

    Passenger side post peeling [protective film not removed by tesla before delivery]

    My Wife's Y still had those on when we got it home. They just peel off. Although it might have more resistance from being on so long. You didn't get any camera alerts?

    Why should I get a 3 instead of a Y?

    Great question. It hasn't been an issue so far since I've been WFH, and my wife only travels to work a few days a week. I bought the Gen 1 mobile charger to leave plugged in and it works great. I get 35mph and her Y gets 37mph.

    Why should I get a 3 instead of a Y?

    If my wife hadn't of bought the Y that's what I would have went with. I'm content with my M3P though. The Y is easier to get in and out of, also has a lot more interior room. Sound system is better in the Y without the back deck blocking the sub. The 3 is better in the corners. We use the Y for...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    From what I have seen most cars are delivered in the last month of the quarter. Just trying to help with expectations. If you get it before then consider yourself lucky and an exception to the rule. I picked mines up at the end of February, but only because one popped up in current inventory and...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    Take a picture and report it. See what they say, also be careful depending on your build date your paint might not be all the way cured yet.

    Model 3 Performance '21 suddenly doubled energy consumption

    Get the P if you can. I drive mines daily and love it. If you don't get the P and you are already thinking about it everytime you see one you will kick yourself.

    Model 3: Cleaning advice

    Try baby shampoo diluted, if that fails diluted dishwahing liquid. Always test in a small area first. After that only use water to clean your seats they're synethic leather aka plastic lol.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I hope that charger was a trade in and the paperwork was already signed. This is why when I brought mines in for trade I parked right in the front where it says Tesla only parking and took up two spaces.....Here is the key move it yourself, I delivered it in perfect condition lol. Otherwise that...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    That is weird maybe because of the delivery time crunch? We did the paperwork in the SC both times we picked up from there.

    Seat Heater left on burns up charge socket?

    I thought the heated seats turned off once no one was detected in the vehicle. I have not seen them stay on in my wife's Y or my 3.

    Plaid+ CANCELLED

    Honestly this makes a lot of sense Plaid is more than enough especially since it's going to get banned at most drag tracks in stock form.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    If you go back to the threads for the end of last qtr the answer is yes. You will see the same thing happened. You should all get your cars by 6/30 be prepared for random calls and deliveries lol.

    I'll never be able to decide on a color

    If you want it to pop go with Red, if you want something easy to clean that hides swirls and micro scratches go with the white.

    Just venting over “first scratch”

    How long are you planning on keeping the car? It could be the start of a good reason to upgrade to a newer 3P in a couple of years 😁

    Model 3 LR - Issues setting up Volume levels on phone and Radio

    My phone volume resets everytime I get a call. I have to turn it up, while the music usually stays put. Is this what you are seeing?

    CA license plate sticker

    If you are in CA go with https://licenseplatewrap.com/, they have a relationship with the DMV. The DMV will send you a certified letter you keep in the car saying you are approved to use a vinyl front plate. I doubt you'll get pulled over for it, but I don't take chances with price of fines in...

    Tesla Service Center Damaged my wheel while in service

    Quick update - They did a great job on the headliner and now both sides match. The only issue I have is wherever they parked it (had it overnight) something leaked all over it........might have been sprinklers as well.

    Glass roof weather seal. Worth realigning?

    Your glass looks pretty straight and lined up. Although with a gap like that it's better to let them try while they are willing to do it. Especially if it will bother you knowing it's like that.

    [UPDATED] 2 die in Tesla crash - NHTSA reports driver seat occupied

    There goes the neighborhood. The push for regulations are about to heat up, they may even temporarily ban FSD in Tesla's. Why on God's green earth would you trust the car to drive itself enough to get in the back seat. We all know the systems are great, but need manual intervention from time to...

    Sold my Tesla yesterday - No Sellers Remorse Yet

    Any kind of ICE or exhaust note remorse left the day I went to pickup my M3P in Feb. I stopped at the Gas station to make sure my trade in (2019 Charger Scat 392) had more than 1/4 tank of Gas when I got there. The thing takes 89 and it cost me almost $40 for a half a tank (CA) :oops:. I took it...

    Prices are slowly going up?

    Are you kidding me? So my car has appreciated by 2k since I purchased it? This defies logic, but it's happening go Tesla go lol. I wonder if they are slowly going back to tax credit prices M3P was orginally 58K? By the time the credit hits they won't look crazy for increasing prices by a bunch...
