Going on my 3rd winter with the aero covers; in West Michigan - decent amount of annual snow fall. Never thought about snow or ice build up. never had an issue.

This is one my probs with an M3. The auto wipers are a pain in rain and without rain. I keep my windows clean inside and out. And the wipers just think its seeing moisture when there is none and will wipe. Even in rain, the wipers come on way too frequently. At least Tesla added some delay...

1. Yes. Little variability. And auto wipes way too often. 2. I may have to contact Tesla if I should only have auto braking activated once or twice a year. But I think other experience it more as well (like on hills and curves). 3. I am not upset about the AP. I just wish it was fully hands...

1. Wiper timing is terrible. Especially with AP. 2. Close second. Random braking. Not as bad as when I first bought the car. But a year later it still occurs on a weekly basis. 3. More of a wish. I really want to be able to drive on the express with hands of the wheel. Just like my bros...

One thing I like about my 2022 LRM3 is the frequent improvements with updates. My car seems to improve with the updates. Notably, the AP. I dont have FSD, btw. However, I have a brother in law at GM and he is very engaged within the EV future there. He always as the GM self driving. He can...

Yes. I have easy entry mode on. My point is that the steering wheel is very susceptible to scratches. Its very delicate for such a high contact/rub area of a vehicle. I agree on the mats. I do, however, think Tesla mats are uniquely even more terrible than other OEMs.

I agree with your points as well. I plan to get all weather mats once I get into winter. For now, I make sure to reposition the mats regularly to avoid any issues. I agree positives outweigh the negatives. I did mention that I love it in my OP.

I ordered my M3LR in May of 2021. I didnt accept delivery until Feb 2022. I wanted to order to lock in the price. I didnt need it until early 2022.

Correct on wash mode. That is simple. Its the free roll part. I always have to try to get that activated a couple of times. I get it to work but it takes 2 or 3 attempts to get it to turn on. I have run it thru a car wash (Tommy's here in Grand Rapids) about 20 times at least. And I still...

Well scratch that negative point then. I thought nav would be extra. You can use spotify thru bluetooth as well? If you want to avoid the 99 per year alogether.

Hope this review helps those considering a Model 3. I have a Midnight Silver M3 LR I picked up new in February. Likes Fun to drive. Cant overstate this. This car is a delight to drive. Acceleration - amazing. Comfort, feel, interior/exterior styling I still enjoy and like Technology. I do...

OP response here. Not tall. I am 5'10". I believe I keep seat a a normal distance. I definitely know I contact the steering wheel upon entry. I am going to have to look at easy entry. Never heard of it. My wife uses my car as well. I have made the M3 LR our primary car for errands. So...

Wear and tear you say. identify what I am doing. Got it. Thanks.

My biggest grip is the robustness of the steering wheel. I notice small wear area about 7 and 8 o'clock on the outside of the steering wheel. I think when I slide into the seat, my leg and jacket hits the bottom of the wheel. A couple of my slacks have a zipper on the thigh area as well. I...

Me as well. Started a couple of weeks ago.

I had similar experience the day after I picked it up. Tesla gave me a loaner and recalibrated. Works fine now. Ask for a loaner car.

2022 M3 LR new owner here. I drive 20 mile commute to work on mostly 2 lane roads; along with a stretch of 5 line road with a left turn lane. All 50-55 mph speed limits. 2 lane road with curves. The phantom stopping is very annoying. I would estimate the brakes are applied for no reason 20x...

Placed post initially in delivery experience thread. Probably better here. About 2 weeks since my pick up. I thought I'd share my experiences so far. Tesla service has been good to work with. It’s a bit odd because Tesla really doesn’t want you to call them. Everything runs through the app...

About 2 weeks since my pick up. I thought I'd share my experiences so far. Tesla service has been good to work with. It’s a bit odd because Tesla really doesn’t want you to call them. Everything runs through the app. Its hard to confirm loaners for service. The chat is the method for...

I find it interesting the lack of interest.

Picked up a 165xxx M3 this morning. Silver. 18" LR. Ordered May 1st. Yes May 1st. The delay was on my end. Wanted to lock a price in with all these supply chain issues. didnt need it till Jan/Feb; when daughter turns 16 and gets my whip. Pick up experience very very smooth. A+. By...

Update on my delivery. OD 5/1/21. Pick up date was 2/14/22. They called me yesterday and asked if I wanted to pick it up this Saturday 2/12/22. Grand Rapids MI store. It is going to be quite cold on Saturday, high of 19 F. I asked about doing the delivery inside, in the service area...

I pick up my Tesla M3 next Monday 2/14. In Grand Rapids, MI store. Can anyone share their experience with delivery day at this location? Specifically: 1. Its going to be kinda cold. Is the pick up indoor or outdoor? I'd like some time to go over the car without freezing. But I will dress...

The new main panel replacement was from an electrician less than a mile away. That wasnt for a Tesla charger. That was 10 years ago when I was installing a switch to connect my portable generator. We loose power during ice and wind storms. A generator is a necessity here. That is when I...

I received a text to schedule pick up date. I had a choice of 2/14-2/16. I took Monday the 16th at 6 PM, latest time slot. In summary, I received VIN on 1/31 and picking it up 2/14. Two weeks to ship and prep for West Michigan.

Curious if you thought it wasnt a typical install? Its a quite large and well known company in the area. All licensed and do work to local code.

You can see the black heavy gage wiring just left of the incoming conduit in the third pick. Funny thing, I noticed they didnt label the new locations as the charger. It currently is labeled as "dead". Because it used to be the circuit where our laundry was, before we moved it to the...

In prep for my M3LR Feb delivery, I had an electrician install the $550 Tesla charger. Its 50A. He said to go to 60A would require thicker gage wiring, that is really not practical because increase is substantial (cost and more importantly diameter). This electrician company is a fairly large...

I had the same thing happen to me in December. I ordered last May. But I didnt want the M3 LR until This Jan/Feb. Tesla said they would hold order till December. then around Xmas they offered be two different vehicles. First one had a couple of thousand miles at a $500 discount, i said no...

Received VIN (165xxx) for M3 LR Silver on Sunday 1/30/22. Ordered in May 1st of 2020. I delayed delivery on purpose, by the way. Stopped by local Grand Rapids Michigan store yesterday to make lien payment. Wired remaining balance this morning. I am told Feb13/14 as possible pick up date...

When you say low, what rate are you getting? I got 1.9 from Penfed; 60 months. But I think there are some banks or CUs that are offering as low as 1.49.

Update VIN was assigned yesterday (Sunday Night). I added to my insurance. And I am dropping of a check to the local Tesla Store today. They said it came off the line Friday and that it is the latest trim package (with the wrap around dash). They think its a week or so to get to Chicago...

Wonder if anyone can beat this delay. Order M3 LR (Silver with 18" wheels) May 1st 2021 at a Michigan Tesla store. I wanted to lock price. I asked how long I could put out delivery. They said till December, the latest. True to form, I was notified of Vin number on 12/17. I really didnt need...

I was told floor mats are standard with LR M3. As for interior differences. I will note the dash wraps around the corners. I know this doesnt affect the mat clearance. Just wanted to note it.

I second penfed. i got the 1.99 rate for my m3 coming next month. easy process to apply too.

thanks for your experience. I will add that I notice what appears to be conflicting info on the credit/rebate situation. I do my own taxes. I opened my last return for 2020 that I filed in Spring of 2021. I am not an accountant. I have used HR Block software for 20 years. I added EV info...

I ordered a Model 3 Long Range early in May, on an impulse. It is a bit out of my budget I thought. But, I think the overall cost may justify it. To be honest, I really just put the $100 down to dream about it and my local store gave me one for an overnight test drive. Absolutely love that...
