    What's all the hubbub about charging in Chicago?

    Just a low effort media hit piece to generate clicks. No one is talking about how gas pumps also froze and there was a 6 day delay on tow trucks at the same time.

    Model 3 front suspension clunking

    My car developed a front suspension clunk over bumps recently, along with the famous axle click. Recently took it in for service and the service notes say that they retorqued the entire front suspension and performed an "axle lubrication procedure" on both front axles. The original noises are...

    I think I have the wrong Tesla and I kinda hate it, lol

    I can concur, I test drove an MYP and an M3P back to back before I settled on my M3P. The MYP cornered like it was on stilts while the M3P just feels a lot more glued to the road.

    Upgrading to FSD beta - starting subscription until FSD beta

    I got the FSD download last night approximately 24 hours after requesting it.

    Upgrading to FSD beta - starting subscription until FSD beta

    I just did a one month subscription to FSD beta to try it out again, my car also had just installed 2022.44.25.3. I'd expect that I'll get the beta software within the next 1-2 days. Will update here when I do if I remember to.

    Anyone gone from a p85d with plus suspension to a P3? Would like you to hear thoughts

    I rented a Plaid and an M3P for a week before I made my decision. I found the M3P to feel a lot more nimble, tossable and just fun to drive. Of course the Plaid is an absolute monster but where am I going to be able to use that power when the M3P can already easily put me in jail. That and the...

    Phantom motorcycle gang showing on model 3 screen

    There are two ghost 18 wheels and sometimes a ghost person in my garage.

    Disappointed [sold my model 3p after 16 months as it wasnt for me]

    A C7 Z06 is definitely a better sportscar and highway cruiser, plus it looks a lot better IMO. Best of luck with your new car!

    Recommendation on tires for model 3 long range

    I choose DWS06+ and have been happy, had them on several previous cars as well and have driven them in the middle of the summer and through 3" of snow.

    Loud wind noise coming from roof on freeway?

    Awesome idea, I'm gonna do this to my car, will reduce wind noise and also cover a small chip on the leading edge of my middle roof glass from a stone impact.

    Largest tire size?

    As far as the tire model goes, I'd recommend Continental DWS06 Plus, I've put 50K miles on multiple sets of them across multiple cars and they've always been great.

    10.69.3 how do I move repeater camera?

    That's how it works for me on 2022.36.6, should be the same on 10.69.3 since its alsp on 2022.36.x

    Chill vs Sport in a 3P+

    A standard mode that dials things back to an LR without acceleration boost would be nice to have.

    New owner… I wish someone would've warned me

    My Camaro SS 1LE (which I recently sold) just felt so sluggish, especially after driving an MS Plaid. Before that I used to think that a V8 had awesome throttle response. Of course above 80mph the Camaro was faster than my M3P but the M3P is the king of autocross and stoplight ego battles.

    2019 SR+ Motor Noise

    Probably best to schedule a service appointment, without a video or sound clip its hard to say what this could be.

    Rear Ended After Installing Mods

    In my area, the locals seem to think that tailgating a Tesla is a political statement.

    Updated Suspension for 3 and Y that is 'in production' 10/17 and after

    This change doesn't apply to Performance cars.

    Traded my M3P for an RS3 - My thoughts on both cars for what it's worth

    How does this thing only weigh 400LB less than my M3P? It doesn't have a massive battery to lug around or anything.

    Bumping sounds under feet while driving

    It's most likely the battery making noises as it heats up.

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

    Comparing a Plaid to an M3P is like comparing a Dodge Viper to a Miata.

    Tesla replacing ultrasonic sensors with Tesla Vision

    It'll have wind down windows, manual seats, no steering wheel/pedals, a 65" screen in place of the windshield and FSD will still be in beta.

    Are these Satin Gray? I just changed my Martian Wheels order from 18x8.5 Silver to 19x8.5 Satin Grey since they were in stock.

    What did you name your Tesla?

    I rotated through a few catchy names but eventually just named it back to "Model 3".

    $115k Hummer EV leaves driver stranded in the middle the road

    Looks like a YouTuber trying to generate clicks by ignoring warnings and common sense. The comments are probably a circlejerk about why people NEED their diesel trucks.

    Tesla replacing ultrasonic sensors with Tesla Vision

    I understood the migration to Vision-only for AP/FSD but this seems like a massive misstep. I use my USS daily when parking in my garage and in tighter parking scenarios in public. I really hope they stick to not removing USS functionality from existing cars, would hate to have 12 useless...

    2022.28.100 is out

    High version number releases like this are typically shipped on new cars and aren't actual versions pushed wide to the fleet. Their purpose is to keep the new car on a specific software version for 4-6 weeks to enable post-delivery issues to be sorted out on a static software version.

    Is it me, but are 2018-2020s are better builds than 2021/22s?

    Mine doesn't have the seam either.

    Traded my M3P for an RS3 - My thoughts on both cars for what it's worth

    You definitely can, but I had an FBO E85 Golf R before my M3P that was a 11.1s car and I was always worried about it blowing up. I actually had my rear Haldex fail and luckily my local dealer looked the other way on some of the mods and I was able to get it warrantied although it nearly ended up...

    Is it me, but are 2018-2020s are better builds than 2021/22s?

    Rented a 2019 M3P- for a week before pulling the trigger on my M3P. My M3P seemed to be a much better put together car overall. Although that could just have been attributed to regular wear and tear on the 2019 rental.

    should I not get the South Korean CCS1 combo adapter?

    Just got my US-spec CCS1 adaptor yesterday, the supercharger network has never failed me but its nice to have options.

    OEM CCS adapter now available to order in North America, Retrofit for older cars coming in 2023

    UPS should be delivering my CCS adaptor today! I only fast charge on road trips but there have a been a few times where I've been at a full supercharger with an empty EA down the street.

    Anyone purchase an ICE after your Model 3?

    Why not just get both? 😁

    My Model 3 is so much better visibility wise than my Camaro 😂

    Tires too narrow on Uberturbine

    I just ordered the setup in my signature yesterday. I've put 8000 miles on the stock setup in the last 3 months and haven't had any major issues but I always worry that I'll hit some random pothole on a roadtrip and get stranded.

    Traded my M3P for an RS3 - My thoughts on both cars for what it's worth

    That's one thing that really surprised me, given the cost of the M3P I would expect it to at least have adaptive dampers since the last 3 cars I had which all cost less than the M3P had them.

    Traded my M3P for an RS3 - My thoughts on both cars for what it's worth

    Awesome! I was strongly considering an RS3 myself but I just had an E85 Golf R for almost 2 years that I was getting bored of. I feel like the RS3 would've been too similar to the Golf R for me, I love how RS3's sound with a nice exhaust though!

    Has Tesla Build quality improved on new Model 3s in 2022?

    I took delivery of my Fremont M3P on 6/26/22. Have since driven it 6600 miles, including two 2000 mile roadtrips. The only issues I've had are having to get my cabin filters replaced and coils cleaned due to the common issue of the AC developing a mildewy smell and having to get one taillight...

    Is the new M3 steering wheel thinner?

    I rented a 2019 Stealth Performance for a week before I took delivery of my 2022 Performance and I don’t recall there being any noticeable differences between the two wheels. Maybe the Performance keeps the thicker wheel.

    Looks like they are removing stalks from the 3/Y

    Having stalks saved me a few months ago when some random semi truck took a turn into a gas station way too wide and was about to hit me, was able to quickly flip itno reverse and get out of the way. They must’ve been a new driver since they ended up beaching their trailer on the curb.
