    Why choose Model 3 over Model Y if you can have more trunk space?

    We bought 2 M3s and it was for how it handled...

    The good and the bad. I have just done 25,000 miles over the past two years in a Model 3.

    +1 We have two Tesla's and LOVE the ride and suspension and wind noise is no worse than any of my previous BMWs over the years.

    HVAC Auto mode- who came up with that garbage?

    We live in hell...Georgia in the Summer and have never had an issue with our two Teslas fogging up or other related to the climate control.

    Does this average account for cars with LFP Batteries? Surely the different batteries have a different "Original Capacity". One of ours is a 2021 SRP with LFP and I have a feeling this “average” is off. I hate that I am relying on a number that may be incorrect. What's the point? This car has...

    Cabin Overheat Protection: *solved* issue of not turning on

    I thought mine wasn't working so set up an appointment. They did a remote diagnosis and said its working fine...I'd go that route before you pay anything.

    Yep...4 posts up. They replaced my glovebox to fix.

    My teen son wants a new Civic/Corolla Hybrid but I want him to get a new/used RWD 3 ~ same price.

    We might be related LOL. This might be interesting to you... Now that we have 2 Tesla's and I got rid of my BMW SUV I need something for weekends in the mountains with the dogs and Home Depot runs etc. I tried and tried to find a low milage used Forester priced right but couldn't. I ended...

    Too fast for a "teen son"...plus no teen want to deal with charging their car. Smart kid.

    Cabin Overheat Protection: *solved* issue of not turning on

    Interesting...neither of our two Teslas cabin overheat ever seem to turn on. I'm not deleting any profiles but I will inquire with Tesla.

    LFP battery - how often is too often to charge?

    And that would be a bad thing?

    LFP battery - how often is too often to charge?

    So much misinformation on this thread about LFP...Or some people don't know LFP batteries are different. smh Do what Tesla recommends.

    What is your deductible for the windshield? I have Travelers and before that AllState....both $100 at Safelite.

    My wheel literally fell off

    A lot of older cars are better maintained and have owners who are aware of the "warning signs" for things like this happening. This has NOTHING to do with it being a Tesla...

    How long will a model 3 last and what tesla to replace it?

    I've heard of many who hit 200k. I personally have no doubt the battery will last as long as they say but the question is really what will your max range be at that point. I'm sure there will be a lot of daily use "city commuter" Teslas rolling around in about 10 years. 8 years 120,000 mile...

    I hate that I used 8% Supercharger. Guess I need to talk more trips and not fly! 😂 The wifey is zero...what a slacker.

    Start with 100% and do what the car tells you.

    Haha...I'm guessing it's like lumber when they say dimensions are "nominal". A 2x4 is really 1-1/2 x 3-1/2. Now we just need Tesla to publish their "nominal" chart. o_O

    Yeah thinking about mine...In 15 months I've used a SuperCharger 3 times and rarely ever charge over 90% I'm guessing I'm more 4.3% than 9.2% based on everything I read. Thx for your data point.

    Yeah that helps. I will leave at default 77.8 and stay blissful with the rest LOL. I'm under a trial and although it's a better deal with 2 cars don't think I will keep the app. Tempted to just do the $200 lifetime but...who knows what the "lifetime" of the App will be...then what. Thanks...

    Vendor Official Tessie app talk

    That's is my point...I don't want to use the fleet averages just because it makes it look better. My range hasn't changed in months so I think whatever the degradation is 4.3 or 9.2 it has completely stabilized after 15months. I read a lot that the average Tesla battery degradation is about...
  29. BMWM3Man

    Vendor Official Tessie app talk

    Not at all. I just want to know which number to put in Tessie. 77.8 as it auto populates/recommends or what I believe the battery was 82 kWh. As I said I just want accurate information not one that makes me feel good and "in line with everyone else"...if it's wrong.

    Vendor Official Tessie app talk

    I searched but couldn't find this answer....sorry if it is a FAQ. Tessie says my 2022 M3 LR "Original Capacity" is 77.8 based on averages of other similar configs. Why shouldn't I change it to 82 kWh which is what I believe the batter was? At 77.8 it shows 4.3% degradation but at 82 it is...

    2022 M3 LR...First 1500 mile road trip (3k round trip)...suggestions?

    Charging periodically to 90% or even (God forbid) 100% gives you even more options. From Tesla... For AWD vehicles: keep the full charge limit of the battery to under 90% for Daily use. If you need 100% of your battery for a long-distance trip, increase the limit for Trip as needed.

    2022 M3 LR...First 1500 mile road trip (3k round trip)...suggestions?

    Time for new friends...after you send them a link to Tesla Super Charger locations! But there is no doubt it will take longer. 37 hours according to this....for example Denver to Naples. Google maps shows 29 or 30 hours with ICE...

    How many of you will/may transition to CyberTruck?

    We have 2 Tesla's a 2021 SRP and a 2022 LR...probably ditching the 2021 SRP w/LFP and giving my wife the LR and driving the Cybertruck. YMMV

    Smelly stinky socks / mold in Model 3 AC

    We had it after about a year or so on our 2021 SRP and airfilter fixed it immediately. I have a 2022 LR M3 that's 15 months old and no smell same filter. YMMV.

    "USB drive unavailable" message

    On our 2022 LR we kept getting this and Tesla changed the USB and did something with the "glove box"....never happened again.
  40. BMWM3Man

    Does all model 3 come with winter package like heated seats and mirrors?

    My 2022 LR M3 came with obviously. My wife drove mine for a week and got use to it so I paid the $300 on her 2001 SRP ($39,900) and got the wheel and back seats...🤬 I'm guessing it may have to do with what the current MSRP is if they "include" things?

    Rear ended M3 [is this totaled?]

    I think he was on his phone and didn't see traffic stopping so instead of rear ending him he just changed lanes. Since he crossed double line he was in the wrong. He admitted but the police officer was still very interested in seeing the dash cam.

    Maybe. But that doesn't sound like your insurance paid the other person's did which makes sense.

    WHY would you file through your insurance? Maybe I missed it was the driver uninsured? Your rates WILL GO UP. I called my agent and he told me not to even mention it to my insurance. A truck driver had insurance I'd think. Also don't sit around waiting...it will be 6 months plus I bet if...

    Rear ended M3 [is this totaled?]

    1000% Always get diminished value if it isn't your insurance. If it's your own then your policy will just go up. My wife's M3 got hit by a delivery truck in August. 6k damage to door and ripped off side mirror. Didn't seem that much. Was able to drive while waiting for parts but took 5...
