    Windshield Wiper Sensitivity Settings

    I know it sounds like manual but it’s not hard to implement. Keep the auto settings, but allow the driver to select varying amounts of intensity like every other car out there with rain-sensitive wipers.

    Windshield Wiper Sensitivity Settings

    Throughout my experience, I have owned a variety of vehicles equipped with automatic rain sensing wipers. While this feature proves useful during inconsistent rainfall, I have noticed that in the Tesla, the wipers tend to act erratically. It is quite bothersome when the auto wipers switch to a...

    What do ya'll do with washer fluid when traveling to a sub freezing area for a trip?

    There are additives you can to add to your existing washer fluid to lower the freezing temperature. Unfortunately, California regulators prevent us from getting the good stuff. Also, if nothing else you can use some IPA in the washer fluid to prevent it from freezing.

    Panel Production Problem or Gateway Issue?

    I want to start from the beginning. I have a relatively new home. It was built in 2017 and I had the option to install solar through the builder. They used Sunpower panel. I opted for the 4kW array which consisted of 12 panels. They were placed on the south side of the roof. I was happy with...

    8.16 kW DC Solar Panels but never generating more 6.5kW

    I want to follow this. I came here to post a similar question. I have a 6kw array that faces south. No obstruction and clear view of sky, but I'm only peaking out around 3.5kw.

    Model 3 Shaking/Vibration

    Vibrations are typically caused by wheel balancing (most common), bent rims, and high spots on brake disc (often referred to as warped rotors). If you feel the vibration in the steering wheel, it’s repeated to the front wheels. If you feel it in the seats, especially if you see the unoccupied...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Nice man! I drove mine similar distance to get PPF installed and some idiot weaving in and out of traffic cut it close and kicked rocks on the paint. Got a decent chip on the hood. I’m getting full front PPF, Xpel window tint, and Exoshield on the windshield.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Maybe this has been mentioned before, but I noticed the brake lights and turn signals are different than the previous Model 3. My turn signals are amber and the brake lights are the same lights as the tails. Similar to the Model Y I prefer it this way and never seen another Tesla Model 3 like it.

    That would be nice! I did have to acknowledge some recent changes about vision only but that’s about it.

    That will be on you when you file your taxes next year for 2023. Eventually it should move be an instant credit at the time of sale for new and used but the IRS is still working out the kinks.

    Black with white interior

    I ordered the Black/White Model 3 Performance I went back or forth black vs the blue. I hate they charge $1500 for basic black when metallic and pearl colors are less or free!

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    That’s true. That’s one positive about being within a hour or so drive from Fremont! If They keep dropping the prices on the S/X, I might be tempted to change my order! Lol

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Negative. No VIN, no VIN text about a VIN. It’s been officially month since my order was place. Based on most delivery and order dates here, I was beginning to sense I was getting closer. It must be because I’m in the Bay Area and they’re prioritizing shipping cars out first to meet deadlines.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I feel like that’s unacceptable. We ordered a brand new BMW last year and I would’ve been pissed if there were additional miles from a test drive added on the vehicle. For one, I want to do the break-in myself, obviously EV this doesn’t apply except for the brakes. No pun intended. Also for a...

    MYP driving in the sand

    I took my X5M to Pismo. It has Michelin Pilot Super Sports on 21” wheels 285/325 tires. Anyway the Model Y P should be fine. You don’t want a beefy rugged tire for sand, as it actually worse than a smooth summer tire. The reason those M/T tires dig up the sand from underneath thus getting...

    Any Hardcore Car Enthusiast Out Here? I Have Questions About Going to Model 3

    I appreciate the feedback from everyone! It solidifies my choice to keep my order and I'll see if it's possible to change to the Performance model if wifey approves. It actually makes me excited to join the Tesla car community, my ignorance had me thinking there wouldn't be many 'car people'...

    Any Hardcore Car Enthusiast Out Here? I Have Questions About Going to Model 3

    Both were in the summer time. It guess it makes sense because the 2021 felt good until I was traveling. I sped up to pass a left lane camper (Infiniti Q50 S) and he tried to speed up and I thought…this will be good when I use the Tesla’s instant acceleration. We I apporached 80…I really felt...

    Any Hardcore Car Enthusiast Out Here? I Have Questions About Going to Model 3

    I used to think Performace models with its subtle red underline and red brakes said enthusiast but I’m seeing more people with them they ordered it because the wait was shorter. Another BMW M owner! Glad to hear you love the M3P! I’m convinced now! Thank you!

    Any Hardcore Car Enthusiast Out Here? I Have Questions About Going to Model 3

    Yes, very first post. I’ve been lurking more on the solar forums while deciding on a Tesla Powerwall. I hear about quality control and it seems hit or miss. I was unaware you could reject the car, I assume it was yours with the expectation Tesla will fix the issues. Thank you! I appreciate...

    Any Hardcore Car Enthusiast Out Here? I Have Questions About Going to Model 3

    Hello, I'm new to this forum. I browsed a lot on the solar section but this is my first time here in the automotive. I, like many people have felt the hit to my wallet from the increase of fuel cost. I currently have a F80 BMW M3 which I love and track weekend car, F85 X5M is my fun family...
