    New Model 3 SR owner

Mostly charge at home up to 90% using mobile charge cable and 14-50 outlet. Some supercharger use on long trips. Can easily...

    Pic of your Model 3.......RIGHT NOW! [model 3 pictures thread]

    Swapped my winter tires for summer ones. When updating the tire pressure monitor I was pleased to see an option to select my OEM tires and wheels with the Aero Wheel Caps. The Tesla image on the car monitor and phone app were updated to show this specific wheel combo. Small thing but cool. No my...

    Confused between rear wheel vs long range

    I'm satisfied after over a year with my SR+ in a cold climate. Winter tires add confidence in snow. No prob with city driving. Long trips could use more range in cold weather when range is reduced but not worth $10k for me.

    Thoughts from current SR / SR+ / RWD owners

    I had my 2021 sr+ through a Wisconsin winter and am satisfied with control on snow and ice. However, I did add winter tires and wheels from Tire Rack. They were 18x8.5 MSW Type 73 GLS GREY wheels, TPS sensors and 235/45R-18 Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 XL tires. Would have bought the Tesla winter...

    14-50 on 100 amp breaker? Ok to use?

    I added a 14-50 outlet to the 100 amp panel of my house. The outlet does have its own breaker. I am using a mobile connector. It would be wise to protect the connector from rain since it has holes on its side. A plastic bag over the connector would help. I have a permanent box over the 14-50...

    Pressed "park" on accident while driving on the highway. Is my car ok?

    I did this too as I drove my Tesla home fresh from the dealer. The car was smart enough to not stop on the freeway.

    Intermittent Charging with Mobile Connector Fixed

    Are you thinking the weight of the mobile connector may pull the 14-50 adaptor away from the contacts? Perhaps a heavy duty rubber band could be used to pull the connector towards the adaptor and take off some of the load.

    Intermittent Charging with Mobile Connector Fixed

    Charging my Model 3 SR+ at home using the mobile connector which came with the car. It is plugged into an outdoor 14-50 outlet on the garage. After about 9 months I started getting occasional interrupted charging errors. Finally arranged for a mobile service appointment. They diagnosed it...

    Tesla on a treadmill

    If you believe in science, the friction losses and regenerative energy losses charging the batteries would gradually deplete the batteries.

    No garage - living through winter

    I have a 14-50 outlet on my garage to preheat the interior and battery. Winter with my sr+ has been fine.

    Experiencing my first winter with 2021 SR+. Love the remote heating. Snow tires improve on my confidence on snowy roads. Lower range not a problem for city driving. No issues so far.

    Any other VW GTI or Golf R converts?

    I've had three GTIs. The last a 2015 Mk7 I sold for a model 3 SR+ last summer. Miss the rumble and hatchback versatility of the GTI but the Tesla is more fun with instant torque and no more trips for premium gas. Loved the Tesla's remote heating this winter.

    Precondition car plugged in vs not plugged in

    With winter here I keep my 2021 SR+ plugged into a 14/50 outlet and the charge level set to 90%. Mostly short trips so precondition enough to warm the car or defrost the glass. After reading this thread I thought I should rethink the 90% charge level but on its Charging Habits web site, Tesla...

    Charging Noise (Loud Humming) and Charging Settings

    You live in Minnesota, I assume its quite cold. That noise may be the heat pump warming up the car. When I precondition my SR+ by turning on the heat, I come outside and can hear noise near the windshield which I assume is the heat pump doing its job. It quiets down after a while.

    Charging at State Parks

    I reserved RV spots in Upper Michigan for tent camping and using their 14-50 outlet for charging. These included the private Woodland Park in Grand Marais overlooking Lake Superior, private Soo Locks Campground in Sioux Saint Marie next to the river where freighters sail by and at the...

    Clicking noise at slow speeds

    When I back up with the windows open I can hear the clicking sound of the plastic aero wheel covers from my 2021 model 3 SR+. Perhaps the plastic parts shifting position.

    SR+ vs LR AWD $13k price difference

    Good for you. I've been driving a SR+ and it's great. Most of the time I'm in town for which it's perfect but do take occasional trips and accept I need to charge a bit more.

    Equalizer settings after installing Infinity REF-4032CFX 4" 2-way Car Speakers in 2021 Tesla 3 SR+

    Just replaced the two dash left and right side full range speakers in my Tesla 3 SR+ with Infinity REF-4032CFX 4" 2-way Car Speakers. No change to the center speaker and tweeter. The two new speakers, Audioliphe gaskets and soldered connector leads were prepared ahead of time. Took about an hour...

    How to display miles remaining next to battery image on home screen?

    The top of the home screen shows a battery with % of charge remaining. Can this be changed to the number of miles remaining? I see the Energy App screen provides Consumption and Range, with the Range being an estimate of miles remaining on the battery. I'd like this Range value always on the...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Rather than wait until the fall to receive my red Tesla SR+, I accepted my SA's offer to look for an available model. He found the same car in white with 200 miles on it. I accepted this car, and picked it up yesterday on June 15th. Yea! It's not red, but it was 2K cheaper and still has a nice...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Alas, the EDD for my May 10th order for a SR+ Red went from the end of June to August 15 - September 4! My SA now says: With the immense demand we are seeing at this time, it is most likely we will not see a vehicle produced from our factory this month. If you still wish to take delivery in...

Once your...

    Ride Quality - Tesla Y RWD vs AWD

    There is a 500 lbs weight reduction from the AWD version (4,416 lbs) to the RWD version (3,920 lbs). For those who have driven both versions, does the RWD have a noticeable better ride quality?
