    Using only the camera turn signal when changing lanes

    A glance at the side mirror provides an opportunity to see a car that is in the next lane over that might be lane changing into the same lane that you want to change to. Neither mirror, camera nor blind spot warning will catch this, but a view of the side window might. A problem when on multi...

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    If you got salvaged seats that were black from the same year and model car, I cannot see why they wouldn't fit. Also, I suppose you could buy seats as replacement parts.

    Tesla launches Model 3 Highland refresh in North America - No Performance model listed as of 01.10.2024

    Effectively, it has gone up more than that because of the $7500 tax credit.

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

    I have three reasons to prefer the Model 3. It has more range. It is more fun to drive. It is less expensive (This may not be true at this moment, but I am sure it will be true again soon). The Model Y does not have enough space for me to not want a true utility vehicle. A trunk is safer and...

    Tri Motor Model 3 in China

    The article says for China only, but if it were manufactured it seems it would be marketed in Europe and Australia just like the rest from Shanghai. I have my doubts for a tri motor Model 3 anywhere really, at least for now. Maybe they would do something like that in response to a competitor if...

    It depends on how many kinds of trailers the CT will tow. The owner of the CT might have a flatbed for construction work, a boat, a travel trailer and a horse trailer.

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation

    Higher pack voltage results in more efficient power delivery so as power is increased a higher voltage is beneficial. Motors that would improve performance from 50-80 would be welcome as throttle response is an important attribute for a sporty road car.

    Tesla sales rep told me things about tax credit, and M3 Highland I don’t believe.

    Highland Model 3 cars have been spotted driving on US roads several times. They have MFG plates and are marked as Engineering. They have legal lights, I don't know if they are the same as Shanghai versions or where they were actually built.

    Are there any acceptable tires for my M3 w/19" rims available from Costco

    Theoretically, Costco can get tires anywhere and you would still get their installation deal, I am not sure the price for the tires would be better though.

    Tire replacement reommendation?

    I would add the latest OEM tires on the 2024 Model 3 to my list of considerations. They are made by Hankook. The tirerack.com is a useful resource for information but might not have the best price. I got a better deal on Amazon for my latest set of tires.

    Will the J1772 Tesla Wall Charger charge both my 2023 Model Y and my wife's 2021 BMW 330e J1772 equipped car?

    The CC is the most compatible after adapter. The Wall Connector will take a few more seconds to connect and I have lost functionality of location-based delay charge time feature of the car, when using a Tesla Wall Connector. On the other hand, the Tesla Wall Connector will charge, it just does...

    I agree there is a market and perhaps a necessity for tiny cars in Europe, but not so much in the USA. The Smart is dangerous on freeways, and they were targets for pranksters who like to tip them over with their bare hands.

    50A NEMA on 60A SubPanel

    Get quotes both ways. A sub panel that won't be used for any other additional circuits is an unnecessary additional cost. But, that depends on the situation. If you want a sub panel then that would be the thing to do.

    Tesla Universal Wall Connector

    I suppose they could hold out but it seems like a bad decision to me. About 75% of EVs are NACS already. Some states are requiring charging companies to support NACS or they won't receive subsidies. I would be less likely to purchase a car that was non standard, it would have to be extremely...

    Drive by wire means no mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the front axel steering mechanism. Until recently, it was illegal to use drive by wire. A car was developed a while ago with drive by wire that had a mechanical fail safe that was clutched in upon power failure. The...

    I have my doubts about that. I would expect the drive by wire to appear on the S or the X before it was on the 3. Who has experience with drive by wire? It would put uncertainty into the buying decision. The 3 is not a high-priced car, how does drive by wire reduce cost?

    Wall Connector with non-Tesla car

    For the time being, I think adapted 3rd party J1772 is the best approach and will have the greatest compatibility in adapted situations. I was trying to be futureproof to NACS but the world is not ready for that at this moment.
