    List Names in Mobile App Acknowledgement?

    If you're looking in the Acknowledgements tab, that isn't customer emails and names, nor is it a bug. These are individual acknowledgements of different software developers, github repositories and packages that Tesla is giving credit for using in their app. You'll notice each of the entries...

    Preconditioning to supercharge in extreme cold turns off cabin heating

    I have experience in generally similar conditions to yours - but without symptoms as extreme as what you noticed. I have a 2022 M3P - a couple weeks ago took it on a roughly 1700km round trip in 2 days. Day 2 was driving through the night about 800km in roughly -28 C to -34 C. Average driving...

    Model 3 (and others) Prices Lowering In Canada? [same vehicle price, broken down differently]

    Just browsing the Tesla site tonight (Aug 26/27 2022) - Looks like most models seem to have gotten a reasonably sized price cut. M3P base price now $82,000 even (roughly $2000 less than before) M3 RWD back down to $59 990 as well Seems like the Model S Plaid, both trims of the Model Y, etc all...

    Canadian insurance

    Provincial/Crown Insurance here, but a Model 3 Performance with replacement cost is a total of $1850/yr without additional discounts, and around $1600-1650 for the base insurance without replacement cost. Additional discounts would bring the minimum total for insurance+replacement cost combined...

    Car turned off while supercharging

    What does "violently off" even mean...? Like the car will go to sleep while sitting at a charger for a while, and when you opened the door it turned "violently on"??? Wouldn't that just be "waking up from sleep" like any normal computer or piece of technology? No different than turning your...

    MP3 or Model S refresh?

    None at all! Its a fantastic car to drive, doesn't feel as heavy as it is and is very nimble and easy to get around in commuting traffic. Money well spent in my books, but then again I wouldn't be complaining with an MSLR either - both fantastic cars in their own ways.

    MP3 or Model S refresh?

    Definitely the price increases are a risk across the board, especially if the upgrade plan is on the table moving forwards. At the very least before making the call, price out the insurance and tires on both of them going forwards. Where I live the M3P is sub $1500/yr insurance and the MS around...

    MP3 or Model S refresh?

    If the money doesn't bother you, I would absolutely suggest the Model S LR. The look, the better ride, larger battery, ( and that it's a less common car to own), outweigh the cons in my eyes- without factoring price of course. However, I currently own an M3P, and there's no denying the handling...

    Leave my 3 stock or be a little different?

    Many people around here think the pillar delete look makes the Model 3 look like a Camry. Having seen one in person recently- I had the same thought at first too. Its not "bad" or something in an awful way, but it doesn't suit the car IMO. If you really wanted to do something "different" that...

    Need some help from anyone with a brand new Model 3 Performance and question on diminished value

    It *should* work that way, but more often than not the vehicle owner needs to fight with their own insurance company to payout on diminished value (and in turn the insurance company collects from the other party as well). If the owner isn't diligent, its too easy to get no, or too little a...

    Serious 12v battery corrosion. 4,700 miles

    I'd be pretty disappointed in that service job. Hard to believe they didn't bother to attempt to clean the terminals off. I guess you have no other choice than to get diy and clean it up as best you can (and at least you got a new battery at all?). I believe there are some decent off the shelf...

    Floorboard Overheat Using Supercharger

    This is a fairly typical experience, caused by thermal expansion of the battery pack materials. I believe it can happen under conditions besides supercharging (since its purely heat related) but supercharging dumps a ton of heat all at once into the pack and the metal expansion causes the panels...

    Financing a Trade In

    This is a slightly older thread, but you should have a finalized trade offer at the very least days before your delivery date. Since trade quotes are valid for 30 days, wait until you are within a week or so of your delivery date, make sure your trade quote isn't about to expire immediately, and...

    Master Thread: 3 Delivery experiences

    I had a fantastic delivery experience for my M3P this weekend. I was originally scheduled to take delivery on Saturday but texted to ask if I could come in on Friday and they were more than accommodating. All morning I was the only customer they had, and they had my car indoors when I arrived...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Couldn't have asked for a better delivery experience to leave the waiting room here. Original order date was March 8, and took delivery May 27. I was the only customer there all morning and got to spend all the time I wanted looking around the car inside and out before signing for it, the...

    Buying used Model 3, new model 3 or Kia EV6

    As others have pointed out, the EV6 is definitely more of a competitor to the Model Y, but I still ended up comparing it to the Model 3 and the Genesis GV60 as well. Fundamentally the Hyundai group platform looks very promising - true 800V architecture, pretty wide range of performance options...
