    New EV tire options

    After many hours researching this exact topic, I just put 4 of the Hankook Evo Ion AS on my spouses M3. We got it 12/2020 and it has 37,000 miles on it. These are replacing the stock Michelin's. I have been very pleased with them, they are MUCH quieter on the highway and I am seeing better...

    Spare tire question and TPMS or not?

    I went with the modern spare kit for mine. It is more space-saving and packaged well so you can easily take it out if you want for shorter trips etc. It is a bit more expensive, but with a used rim and then the tire, it comes out pretty close. For All 2017-2022 Tesla Model 3 Trim Levels -...

    Is a RWD / Standard Model 3 ok for a 140 Mile daily commute?

    I have about the exact same commute. I went with the LR but seriously considered the SR...I choose the LR because of some of the options it has and we do roadtrips of 500 miles usually about 1 time every 6 weeks or so. We are in the south with heavy heat and humidity. I charge to 90% nightly...

    "Headlights on" command not available

    I am amazed that the headlights do not turn on automatically with the headlights. This is required in 18 states already and a huge safety issue. So now I am trying to get the headlights on while it is raining heavily and I try the voice command and it doesn't work. Now I have to look away...

    You can opt to pay for it yearly vs monthly and if you do yearly it saves you about 2 months...it is $99 for a year, that is the option I went with. Just having the traffic and streaming for my podcast's and music is worth it for me.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Congrats T-J!!! This is the actual day I picked mine up. And I just saw this today, to be honest checked back in just to see the status of yours LOL. And it is the day you are picking up. I am a bit OCD, so reading through the entire thread so will see how the delivery goes in a bit...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Picked it up Thursday. The quality was amazing! Only 2 small paint issues (1 scuff in the clear coat and one chip on edge of hood by wipers, otherwise no other issues were found. Panel gaps were nonexistent. The car came with the Matrix Global headlights, heater wipers, mobile charger...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yeah, that was a typo...I was thinking of the difference in price between the Pinnacle and the Stratos...so yes, the windshield is $250...sorry about that.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I just dropped off the car for the tint. Getting the Formula One Stratos and while it is a bit more expensive than the Pinnacle, I think it is worth it. The shop I have gone to and continue to go to is phenomenal! They do the back window in 1 piece. The Strato's out the door is $849.00...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I just got back from dropping the car off for the tinting. I was able to turn off the auto high beams as I described with auto pilot engaged. Not sure why you haven't been able to @ForestGump

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I will try this out in a little bit. Our car that it works on is a 2021, one of the last with the radar from 12/20. I just picked up my new 2022 yesterday and has no radar. But I thought I tried it last night and it turned them off. I will check and report back in a bit.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    You can actually turn the Auto High Beems off. You have to do it everytime you engage AutoPilot, but it can be done. All you need to do is push the turn signal lever forward (towards front of car). This will set the lights back to the "normal" mode. Glad you are enjoying the car! We love...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Today is delivery day!!! My appointment is at 1:00. Everything is completed, all that is left is to show up, inspect the car and accept delivery. Should be contactless unless there is an issue. We will be pulling up in my husbands M3. We were originally supposed to leave it for a service...

    Anyone ordering vanity plates for their M3?

    You order through the website www.myplates.com. I believe you need to have taken delivery of the car and paid taxes already. Everything in Texas is a bit different because of how we have to "purchase" the vehicles before they are ever delivered. And then you have to wait to get the paperwork...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I just went with Tesla finance and the document says the approval is good for 60 days, but the rate quote is good for 30 days. Basically, it means they will honor the approval from day 31 to 60, but it might be at a different rate.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Not That M3, We purchased a Model 3 in December 2021 and had to have ALL financing completed prior to delivery. It has to do with Texas not being allowed to "sell" direct in Texas. We did all of the paperwork, final payment, and also the financing was signed and funded before the car made it...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Just got another text (1 day after VIN assignment, almost 24 hours on the nose!) to schedule delivery. The delivery date is even earlier than the window. Scheduling for 5/26 at 3:00. This is moving FAST now LOL

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Woke up this morning to no updates. Running errands and while at the Apple store I received a text for trade-in info at 10:56 am. Replied that I did not have a trade in and the SA thanked e and wished me a great weekend!. At 11:18 am I received a text that a VIN had been assigned and to...

    I got a small EDD adjustment today. It went from 5/22-6/5 to 5/24-6/5. Keeping my fingers crossed at this point.

    I got the highly anticipated 2 week window EDD update this morning. It was my third update and has brought my EDD back into the window of my original EDD. All info in my Signature line. EDD 5/22-6/4 Going with DCU and may try to get the financing started so I can lock in the rate. I believe...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Correct, they actually give a 0.25% discount for EV cars and 0.50% for direct deposit, so you can get a max of 0.75% off the quoted rate. These are the main reason's I am going with them.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I am pretty sure I am going to go through DCU as well. It is very easy to join and I will be applying once I get my VIN assigned. They seem to have the most competitive rates. I will check with a couple of local credit unions as well, but based on what each website says, DCU appears the most...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    This is the same color I was looking at with the BMW. I was getting told it would be about 5-7 months to take delivery though. I also am not quite sold on the range, performance, etc. I drove the I4 M50 and it was great, but I wouldn't be doing the M...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Where are you taking delivery? I am in Austin and am taking delivery in Austin. My OD was 2/28 and my Original EDD was 5/11-6/8 but yesterday it changed to 5/30-7/3. I am thinking it may roll back in a couple of weeks to closer to my original.

    Polestar 2 ordered

    I agree, I was very surprised. I also had someone else drive it and they had the same experience as I did. I read a number of forums for Polestar and saw it was a common complaint as well. The Polestar Space I was at had just taken delivery of about 50 cars and had a large number of what I...

    Regarding the announcement of the mobile charges no longer being included, I reached out to my SA last night and received this response this morning..."We are still waiting for an official announcement from the company. We should know more this week." Nothing else was said regarding it.

    Tesla Second Row Pet Liner is plush!

    The Tesla version will scratch the tint, we just choose not to lower the rear windows when we use the Tesla pet cover. We have a Siberian Husky and have tons of hair. The other issue we found with the Tesla version is that since the door protectors don't zip on to the rest of it, a lot of the...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I plan on Ceramic Tint, I have done this on every car I have owned for 30 years now. I am getting the PPF from Tesla for the rear lower tire well areas. I am on the fence about the front PPF. I drive 140 miles on the highway every day for work and I have gotten plenty of rock chips on my cars...

    Polestar 2 ordered

    I had come down to a final "2" as it were, a Model 3 or the Polestar 2 with the Pilot and Plus package. I ended up going with the Tesla for a couple of reasons, even though I would lose out on not only the Federal rebate of $7,500 but also a state rebate of $2,500. We currently already own a...

    Buying used Model 3, new model 3 or Kia EV6

    Sorry about this, it posted prior to me completing it. I meant to reply and quote OliverM3 above that the EV6 did not offer the free 2 years like the Hyundai's were. We all expected it to, but they didn't. This was also a factor in my decision as well. I agree it was difficult to walk away...

    Buying used Model 3, new model 3 or Kia EV6

    The EV6 is only getting 1,000 of free fast charging from Electrify America. They did not offer the 2 years free.

    Buying used Model 3, new model 3 or Kia EV6

    I spent a couple of months, hours of research, and spreadsheet comparisons on a number of EV's (I even outlined the charging curves). We currently own a 2021 M3LR and are looking at adding another EV because of commute (both commutes are 140 miles round trip daily). I did EVERYTHING I could to...
