I have my 2021 M3LR set to precondition before I leave in the AM and for when I leave work in the PM. This works well for cabin temp but I have noticed heated seats don't turn on till I get in the car. If I remember before I leave I can go into app first turn off climate and then turn on again...

I was able to get someone on the phone at my local SC. Not surprisingly, they don't store them. Now to figure out where to put them as I have no room in the garage. May need to ask the in laws a favor.

Just ordered winter wheel/tire set from Tesla for my 2021 M3. Does anyone know if local tesla centers (Cleveland for me) will store the stock set for you like some dealers do? Also is install done mobile or at center? I tried to schedule and it was saying mobile which I was surprised about...

Aside from the need or not for AWD the performance difference is very significant. A 5.3s vs a 4.2s 0-60 car feel very different. And as noted with the acceleration boost add on for 2K (which is only available on the LR) it's crazy fast and a tremendous amount of fun but even without it it's...

I tried for a week to keep a high score in the Cleveland area. I kept getting dinged for ridiculous things out of my control while having no fun driving. I decided it wasn't worth it and went back to enjoying driving. I'll just wait a little longer and continue to enjoy my M3 LR with AB and...

Don't get the SR+. Part of what makes theses cars so fun is the acceleration and while the instant torque is still there and 0-60 in the 5s range is not slow it's rather run of the mill for entry sport sedans. The LR is definitely worth it if you can afford it - it's a big difference. While...

Yes I agree for you in Cali it’s a tougher decision. If the price is not a big deal I would go for the performance so no “what if” thoughts. If you are stretching yourself for the P rest assured the LR with AB is still a rocket. Also above 60 they are not much different and while I would love to...

The area you live in may play a role too. I really enjoy fast sport sedans and was debating between model 3 LR and P. However living in the Cleveland OH area with cold snowy winters and not so great roads I wasn’t crazy about getting the lowered suspension and larger wheels of the P. Plus range...

You don't seem to be alone in your opinion which is why I'm confused as to what is normal/abnormal and how this car compares to other cars. I'm sure it partly depends on what you are used to but I also wonder how variable highway cabin wind noise is based on build quality. As I noted above...

I emailed Jowua about how to clean install their wireless charging car mount in a 2021 M3. They actually sell a USB-C cable with L shaped connecter that is designed to utilize the rear USB-C port and then tuck into the trim and the right length to reach the mount. Mount and usb cable linked...

I have a 2 month old 2021 and compared with prior sport sedans (alfa romeo giulia, and multiple BMW 3's) it's definitely noisier on the highway mostly from wind noise. Locally it's quieter given lack of engine noise. I don't know what's normal though so didn't make a service appointment. I...

Thanks. I recently found this one linked below which looks promising. Would still have to figure out how to neatly wire it. https://www.jowua-life.com/collections/car-mount/products/480-rotation-car-mount-with-wireless-charging

I have a 7 week old 2021 M3 and an iPhone 12 Pro. While I really love the wireless charging pad and have tried to get used to the location I find it's just hard to see and access. I still rely on Waze as an adjunct to the built in nav, use Apple Music, and some other tasks via Siri. So it...

You make some good points about the S that I’m sure are pluses for lots of people. I agree that cabin noise on the highway was much better in the S and I do wish the 3 was quieter. Having the the extra dashboard display was nice and I thought not having one in the 3 was really going to annoy me...

I have had my 2021 M3 LR + acceleration boost for a little over a month now and have been loving it. It went in for service to install homelink and for some minor panel/door alignment issues and some rattles. I am fortunate that my service center still does loaners and was surprised that they...

Tesla seems to do rolling updates not specific to a model year but since the 2021 M3 got a significant refresh it would seem unlikely there would be many changes in the near future but I left my crystal ball at home today so can't be sure. As it goes for the tech world unless you know of a...

I just read that Elon tweeted Saturday release for FSD v9 but it’s just for beta testers. Then a “month or so” for public release depending on how it goes. Probably means a year or so. What a bummer. It really seemed like it was soon.

Is FSD v9 beta supposed to be a public release or is it just for beta testers?

I know the FSD v9 beta has gotten a lot of attention and is expected to be released soon. With the "beta" label does that mean that it's only available to beta testers or will it be a public release?

What is the auto steer speed limit on cars with radar?

I have definitely seen both lines and surrounding vehicles bounce around quite a bit on my vision only car but also have no comparison. I have had phantom braking while using AP a couple times like others have reported. Haven't tried much in bad weather but for me AP has worked very well in...

Agree with above that you acclimate pretty quickly to the LR + AB acceleration. 2 weeks in and it doesn't seem quite as fast anymore even though I know it is. Still very fun and love having an under 4s 0-60 car that didn't cost a bazillion dollars.

Yes I was lumping as it's all part of the same area in the software. The scheduled departure stuff is the confusing aspect. To use scheduled start one has to always try to estimate charge time and change accordingly. I don't want to bother with that. Setting off peak end time at or after...

Thanks. From playing with it and reading other threads this is what I have done. Just wanted to confirm that this is the best approach and it actually works. For a system that overall is very well designed and intuitive the scheduled charging is a little wonky or at least the algorithm it uses...

Yes I should have clarified that the departure time is set for when I leave. However it’s not so intuitive as to when it actually aims to complete charging by. If off peak end time is set it completes charging by then even if it’s well before actual departure time. But if off peak charging is...

As title implies I'm trying to figure out how to schedule charging so that it completes right about at departure time. Maybe this is unnecessary but my understanding is that for best performance it is best to have battery warm and charging right before leaving can help accomplish this. I have...

Yep. Will need to start playing the lotto for that one. I could tell my wife that the Plaid is an excellent value at only $150K since it competes with million dollar supercars but I fear that may lead to divorce. All kidding aside I'm thrilled with the M3 LR with AB performance. The...

Re-assessed on my commute today. Did precondition which it seems from post above doesn't necessarily warm battery enough. Charged to 80%. I think acceleration is still quite good from 80mph. I think the most significant factor was likely just acclimating to the crazy 0-60 performance. When...

Thanks. That's great data. I may elect to charge to higher SOC daily.

Thanks again. Yes I'm only charging from like 60-70% given my relatively short commutes so I guess not much battery warming time even if scheduled. 2 days after I got the car I took it on a road trip from Cleveland to Chicago and back so I imagine battery was plenty warm most of that time...

Thanks for the reply. My car is plugged in overnight and I do schedule the departure time. Does charging right before departure get the battery sufficiently warm for max performance or it still needs to be driven as well? Also my total round trip commute is under 40 miles so I was only...

I was just commuting to work and tried a few quick acceleration tests just going from 80mph-90mph. It wasn't as impressive as I thought it was when I first got the car about 1 1/2 weeks ago when it seemed no matter what highway speed there was tons of torque. I have AB and had about 68% SOC at...

I realize there is plenty of battery advice out there although unfortunately there is quite a bit of variability in recommendations. My 2022 M3 LR is just over one week old. I have a relatively short weekday daily commute, round trip under 40miles. I have a Tesla wall connector at home. My plan...

The Tesla vision statement was around May 25th. It states "in the weeks ahead" features will start to be restored via updates. It doesn't seem that there have been any changes yet. Are we thinking this is going to turn into months or longer? I would like to have a >75mph limit and it would...

My radarless M3 got update last night to 2021.4.18.3. Agree. Picked mine up last week and then had to make a road trip from Cleveland to Chicago and back. I found one of the most useful situations for AP was in traffic. It really made it more relaxing.

I considered doing the same thing for the same reason. Seems reasonable. I have had an e90 335i xdrive, an f30 335i xdrive, and an f30 340i xdrive msport with adaptive suspension. As noted most recently had a Giulia. Loved all of them. The Giulia was way down on power but steering/handling was...

I just realized your username looked familiar. Are you on AVSforum as well? I’m confinoj on AVS.

Same. I picked mine up last Friday and added AB in the lot before I drove off. I knew I wanted it but also purchasing immediately made me feel mentally that it was just part of the car purchase rather than some upgrade I was spending extra money on. It rebooted right away and was active. Happy...

Yes if it was just the homelink that could have been mobile. The other stuff needed to be at the service center. To my surprise tesla called me just now as I inquired about loaners, etc via the in app messaging. They actually do provide loaners which is different from what I was told when I...

New M3 owner in Cleveland, OH. I need some service done for some minor fit/finish and alignment issues plus homelink install. They said it can't be a mobile service do to what's needed. My understanding is that they don't have loaners or a shuttle service. They have no weekend hours. I...

Oops. My bad. I didn’t know there were 2 levels of summon. I think it was just the basic summon. Sorry about that.

Picked up my new M3 LR yesterday. Already had 1 software update. I’m pretty sure when I first picked it up smart summon was disabled as Tesla has stated. However after the update it is enabled. Sorry if this was known info already as I only looked back a few pages.

I have a scheduled pickup tomorrow at 5pm. Hopefully the car arrives today as expected. In my Tesla account it previously said I will need to sign documents and make payment prior to delivery. Once my delivery date was scheduled by my service center I was able to pay online via ACH but there...

Got my VIN 6/1. Most recent edd was 6/7-6/13. I called my service center to check on status. They were showing a 6/10 arrival and I scheduled a pickup for 6/11 at 5pm. As soon as they did the edd changed to the pickup date/time and the option the pay via bank transfer appeared. Just passing...

Any update on your delivery? My EDD is 6/7 (today) to 6/13. Still don't have option to pay online or schedule pickup. SA things it's coming 6/10.

That's not re-assuring. My delivery dates have shifted earlier a couple times now with today now being the first day of the EDD, 6/7-6/13. However still no option to pay or schedule delivery in my account which makes me think it's not as close as the dates suggest. My SA says it's estimated...

That seems atypical from what I've read here. I wonder what happened? Where in OH are you picking up?
