Got a new phone and now my Tesla won't connect to its hotspot for updates. I've tried everything but I get this error: I've tried only enabling 2.4 GHz, switching from WPA 2/3 mode to only WPA2, I've even tried removing the password completely on my hotspot. I've turned off WiFi 6 mode as well...

How quickly is the battery draining for y'all when doing HDPE? The last time I went there was one 20 min session when I lost 20%! (I may have been going too ham though lol) Thankfully there's a (single) 50A outlet at the track to charge with, but it definitely isn't fast enough to keep me...

With the Highland Edition Model 3 expected to come out soon, does that mean the supply of Uberturbine wheels will go down, making them more valuable? Because I have them in storage and was wondering if I should sell them now or wait till later xD

Switched to forged wheels, so selling my uberturbines with OEM Pirelli PZ4 tires sans TPMS. Used for <400 miles Minor damage on one wheel (visible on rear wheel of the 3rd pic), so selling for $1200 - pick up preferred in the Boston or Wakefield area

Just booked a track day for my Model 3 Performance! I never purchased HDPE insurance for my previous cars, but the M3P is also more expensive than my previous cars. Do y'all get track specific insurance?

Is there a way to find out how large an update is prior to downloading it? I was thinking that it might be good to see if I should try and find wifi or just use my phone as a hotspot. (Although I've not a single time been able to connect to wifi at home/work, even when my phone can easily...

I went in for several concerns regarding a newly purchased Tesla Model 3. My primary concerns included a defective horn and jittery/non-smooth motion when reversing the car slowly. I received a notification that the repairs were completed and that I could go retrieve the car. I ultimately...

I'm currently trying to mount a dash cam on my windshield. It seems adhered very strongly but I'm bothered by how there is incomplete contact between the adhesive and the glass. Has anyone dealt with this before? (Maybe hotter weather will improve the tape-glass contact in the upcoming days?)...

Has this happened to anyone? Thankfully no cars were around me but the UI randomly froze with a loud buzzing sound as I was backing out of a parking spot. I lost the rear/side cameras and had to reboot the system. The PRND stalk still worked though, so I was able to continue backing out and...

Hey everyone! My apartment complex wants me to pay for the amount of electricity I use for charging. Is there a way to track how much kW I use from a 240V 6-50 NEMA outlet every month? I was also wondering if the car already somehow tracks supercharger kW vs home kW so that I can just go off of...

Just got a 2021 Model 3 Performance but I'm thinking of switching to 19" Martian MW03s - would anyone be interested in buying the OEM Uberturbines (wheels + tires)? Currently have 215 miles on them (gentle driving, no launches etc because I want to be more familiar with the car before doing...

It's often said that regular supercharging is discouraged due to potential long term battery degradation. However, the outlet near my parking spot is currently down. I see some 250 kW and 72 kW (urban/city super chargers) near me though - would regularly charging with the 72 kW ones (for the...

I've heard about going to Discount Tires to get wheel/tire stuff done for Teslas, but I don't see any around Boston! Where do y'all go? (Thinking of swapping out the 20" uberturbines on a M3P for 19" Martian MW03s) Also, is it common practice to ship wheels/tires to the shop directly? I used to...

Hey everyone, I'm currently wondering about switching out my M3P uberturbines upon delivery or after low usage. What's the best way to do this? Could the SC swap out the wheels for me if I bring them on delivery day? Or should I just do it myself at home? I was looking at some 19" forged wheels...

I have a M3P on order but the reveal event has me pretty tempted to order a refreshed Model S LR instead... I go to the track 1-2 times a year - does anyone know if the Model S LR will handle it fine?

Do you think we'll be able to add passenger lumbar support back in at a later date when supply chain issues are less of an issue? I've seen pics floating around of how the wiring infrastructure for the lumbar support is still present and I've seen Model 3 lumbar supports on sale on Ebay haha.

Hi everyone! I'm currently deciding between red and white for a M3P and I came across two videos of red Model 3s where the red kind of looks a bit different (I guess the videos' color grading was different). I was wondering if anyone knew which one was more representative of the M3 in real life...

What would y'all do? Get the white M3P and put the $2k towards some red paint protection film? Or just get the red M3P and do a clear front + side skirt PPF? (Or just stick with white + front and side PPF) I currently have a white on order, but I just saw this video of the red M3P and dang it...

Is it easy to find larger brake rotors to fit on the Model Y LR to improve heat dissipation/reduce brake fade when taking the car to the track? All I see are full big brake kits (e.g Unplugged and Mountain Pass Performance) which are $$$! Maybe just changing the pads and brake fluid is sufficient?

Tesla Model Sphinx (black with white wrap and wheels)

If I use the MPP Partybox to reduce obtrusive stability control on the track, will Tesla know and possibly use that to decline any warranty related work in the future?

Hi everyone again 😅 Still deciding between the M3 LR and the M3P! For the M3P I was wondering if it was possible to not get flats/wheel damage if you were just careful around town - there's potholes around me but I feel like I rarely hit them in my current car. Has anyone been fine with the...

I test drove the MY LR 7 Seater earlier, and now I've just finished an overnight test drive of the MYP! I drove around casually but also tried to push the car to see how it might do in more performance oriented driving, as I typically take my car to the track 1-2 times a year. My thoughts...

Hi everyone, I'm currently considering the M3 LR since I'd definitely get wheel/tire damage with the 20" wheels where I live (Boston). I'm thinking of the 18" aero wheels, and perhaps switching the wheel covers for the orbital covers! There's also a $2,500 rebate for EVs under 50k in...

Hi everyone, I was thinking of adding a safe for valuables underneath the driver's seat in the Model 3 - does anyone know how tall the gap under the seat is? (e.g I'm looking at a small 3.5" tall safe with a cable that I'm thinking of tying down to the rail or something)

Hi everyone, I'm currently wondering if I should get a Model 3 Performance, or a Model Y 7 seater. (LR AWD since 7 seats aren't available for the Performance version) They're the same price! I'm coming from a Mk7 Golf R! I like how the Model Y will have the hatchback, and I really want those 7...
