    M3 Highland - Demo Drive Thoughts

    Just saw one this weekend with temporary plates so they are definitely delivering them to customers now.

    M3 Highland - Demo Drive Thoughts

    I've seen them on the streets here in California (near the factory) with MFG plates on. Saw a couple of brand new ones on a truck heading away from the factory. Perhaps more demo units(?).

    The DOJ Tesla probe has expanded to include EV driving ranges

    A screenshot (taken on 10/31/2023) from my 2022 Model3 Long Range OEM tires (purchased Dec.2022) w/ aero wheel covers removed on day 1. If usable capacity on the battery is 75kWh* that puts it at ~302mi range or ~85% of the advertised 358mi* range. With aero covers off it takes about 3%* hit so...

    Tail Light Retrofit- AMBER turn signal

    Just saw a brand new M3SR with MY-like tail lights. Brakes use outer red and turn signal was amber. I wonder if Tesla has switched to this style. Also wonder if it will be a plug and play if one wanted to upgrade to these. Bad photo due to weather

    Question about charging levels

    I got a question about my preset charging % resetting to 80%. So up until a week or two ago(might be related to the latest update 2022.40.30) I was able to set the car to charge to any % , let say for example 70%. I charge at L2 at home and the car would charge to the preset % (+- 1-2%). For...

    Error CP_a051

    I got the same error. '22 M3LR currently on 2022.44.2. At first I did not pay attention to it but decided to look into it a couple of days later. Sure enough, the port didn't open when I pressed on it. As I usually use the button on the charger to open the port, it does not really bother me...

    Frunk and Trunk Hooks

    What I'm interested in is a way to keep the lower trunk cover up so that I can load/unload stuff using both hands rather than one hand holding the cover up. I'm sure I'll come up with something but haven't had the chance to look into it yet. I prefer not to reinvent the wheel if there is...

    Wiper Issue

    Let me chime in on the subject...

Even with the car...

    Bugs on bumper recommendation

    Not sure if there's any way to prevent them from sticking but I found an easy way to clean them. Keep in mind my car is not ceramic coated or PPF protected. I just use Windex(or similar) spray and Clorox(or similar) wet wipes. Step 1: Spray the bumper and headlights generously and let it soak...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    You're absolutely correct. In EU all cars must have yellow/amber turn signal in rear(I'm from EU). I was hoping the M3 would also come with amber signals as does the MY but unfortunately it does not. It actually looks better with amber lights IMO.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    On my way home from work yesterday I noticed a M3(P?) driving near Fremont factory with yellow/amber rear turn signals. The strange thing about it was that they would come on with the brake lights, too. We were almost side-by-side when I noticed it was also a right hand drive. 🤷‍♂️

    Read trunk lid, rubbing against bumper:

    Thank you all for sharing. Because of you I was able to finally fix this!!! I first noticed the rubbing during inspection while picking up my car from Fremont factory. It then took almost 2 months for Tesla to schedule an appointment to address this and a couple other issues. I was sent over to...

    We have the Brica mat in our other car(SUV, non-Tesla brand) for a few years now and has been great. Now looking for a mat for our Model 3 and reading here I might just go with the same one. We will be taking a trip starting tomorrow so will transfer it over and see how it is. I'll let you guys...

    2021 Headlight black spots

    I can't decide which one is worse - a defect or design flaw..... Sometimes I wonder if a Designer/Engineer looks at their finished product in person before releasing it to production. Wouldn't you power up the light and see how it looks(from a driver's POV) before approving it for mass...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Why not have them drop it off at your house? Somebody else will pick up my Tesla on my behalf. What should they bring? They should bring a power of attorney letter and copy of your passport or identification card to the delivery appointment. If you are financing your Tesla via a Tesla leasing...

    2021 Headlight black spots

    We got some pretty decent fog this morning so wanted to share a few photos. That dark spot(line) is an eyesore. I hope it's fixable by a software update.

    2021 Headlight black spots

    So I mentioned it to the Service Dept. yesterday and the guy gave me a look as if I told him a ghost appears when the headlights turn on. Anyways, he said he haven't heard of this "issue" before so I showed him the photos posted above. His suggestion was to include it in the next service visit...

    I apologize if this was discussed previously but what is the benefit of having both the CAV decal and Fastrak CAV? Obviously, the decal is a free carpool when solo but the Fastrak CAV id 50% off when driving solo in the carpool. Does it give you 50% off bridge tolls too? I'm confused.🙄

    2021 Headlight black spots

    I've noticed the same dark spot on the left(driver's) side as pictured above on my 22 Model 3(picked up less than a month ago). I will ask the SC during my appointment for a trunk alignment issue today and report back with what they say to that.

    Seat belt extenders

    Attached is a photo of the belt fully inserted but not locked in. The buckle does look different on yours compared to mine. I have a feeling the one with the notches will work for me. If you can somehow verify it fits the 22 M3, I would gladly take them.

    Any way to verify if they work on a 22 Model 3? These are the ones I have and don't work.

    Seat belt extenders

    So is there a difference in the seat belt between 21 and 22? I got a 22 model 3 and can't get the belt to click into the extender. Seems as its not going deep enough.

    Tesla Model 3 Seat Belt Extender

    I ordered the same ones but can't click the belt into it. It seems as the belt side does not go in far enough to engage. Is there a part number or some other reference shown on your extender?

    I did that on my old car(Mazda) and it faded in 2-3years to a point you can't even tell there is tint applied. Just scheduled my Model 3 for all around tint(full back + windshield) XPel XR+ for $1,000.
