    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    Went on a trip to CA last month and had several phantom braking incidents. One hit the brake pretty hard and almost caused me to get rear ended. Any way I can switch off the vision stuff and switch it into dumb cruise control mode? Edit: Welp, reading more of these posts, looks like no dumb...

    Error: Maximum charge level and range may be reduced

    Nuts. A full on battery replacement? It's things like this that scare me about owning this car out of warranty.

    Ioniq 5 vs Model Y

    Both great cars. Drive both and see which one you like better. Tesla has better range and power but the Ioniq has better interior, Carplay, and ventilated seats. Oddly enough I ended up going with the Tesla because it had a better stereo. Found the Bose stereo to be very lacking compared to...

    I destroy my wheels when I drove over potholes!

    It's not the wheels. It's the lack of sidewalls that are causing damage. I always thought the 20" wheels were a bit silly for this reason. As far as downsizing options, the smallest you can go on the Performance model are 18" wheels. (You have to buy the ones that can specifically accommodate...

    You all have about talked me out of a Tesla altogether...

    Car specific forums tend to attract enthusiasts and will tend to be more nitpicky than the general populace. Check out Lexus forums and you'll see the same thing. It probably won't be build quality related 😁 but there will still be issues. Reliable cars aren't immune to it. My advice is not to...

    AC not producing cold air

    Get it fixed as soon as possible. If the cabin can't be cooled that probably also means the battery isn't being cooled.

    What the hell is the car doing?

    Elon is probably looking through the cameras checking out your garage.

    Wipers activating unexpectedly, even on a bright sunny day.

    Mine randomly wipes on sunny days too. For this reason, I leave it off until I actually need it. I rarely ever actually use autopilot so it's not too big of an issue. The bigger concern for my region is that we can literally go 4-5 months without rain and there can be dirt built up on the...

It's currently programmed to my car, Ingenext charges $50 to have the unit reprogrammed LINK. I can either do the reprogramming with Ingenext for you ($800 - You would have to...

    New owner Title Registration problem

    What's stopping you from driving with expired tags? Assuming of course your insurance and license are good. You might get hassled, just explain your situation and bring supporting evidence if the police ask.

    Review: Hankook iON evo AS vs Pirelli AS+ Elect vs Michelin PS 4S vs Michelin PS AS 4

    I'm pretty impressed that you're pulling that kind of efficiency in the M3P. I estimate that the Michelins had a range hit of 15-20%. It was a very noticeable hit in range. I think the Hankooks are very close in efficiency to the (almost bald) MXM4s. The most noticeable improvement I've seen...

    M3P $3000+ off

    I would have gotten the performance if they offered it with 18" wheels. :) In your situation, I'd still go for the M3LR even if the discount is only $500 primarily because I thought the ride was too jarring in the M3P with the giant wheels. From what I understand, it has larger brakes and a...

    Review: Hankook iON evo AS vs Pirelli AS+ Elect vs Michelin PS 4S vs Michelin PS AS 4

    I bought the PS4AS and they were so much better than the stock MXM4s, I pretty much fell in love with them immediately. Very quiet, cornered well, just an overall great tire. However, they ate so much range that it was a dealbreaker. Ended up returning them to Discount Tire and swapping them...

    Torn betwee LR AWD with speed boost vs Performance main concern is badweather/tires

    I'd go with the LR all day (would pass on the acceleration boost because the LR is already very fast IMO). Better range and a better ride. After renting a performance, I'd throw those 20" wheels out the door immediately and replace them with 18s. It was very jarring on anything other than very...

    Shopping for an M3 LR, which year is the smart buy?

    My location might be causing a bit of confusion here, I live and work in Nevada. Though with friends and family in CA, I tend to visit pretty often. Sales tax is not collected on private sales here which can be $3k+ a $40k car. On the other hand, we pay exorbitant annual car registration pricing...

    Shopping for an M3 LR, which year is the smart buy?

    Somehow I knew this place was gonna talk me out of the otherwise very attractive 2019 bargain. 😁

    Shopping for an M3 LR, which year is the smart buy?

    I think there was a range bump from 322 mi in the 2019/2020 to 350+ in the 2021/2022 models. Is this not the case?

    Shopping for an M3 LR, which year is the smart buy?

    Thanks for the inputs. I think I'm leaning towards a 2022 at this point since it has the Ryzen CPU and significantly longer range. Now to find one for 40k :).

    Shopping for an M3 LR, which year is the smart buy?

    Hello, new member here currently shopping for my very first Tesla. Had a chance to rent one from Hertz (they gave me a performance) and had a blast. My budget is around $40k and looking to get the most "car" for the money so I've been looking around FB marketplace trying to price out the...
