Regarding ride noise, our ‘23 RWD is quiet at low speeds, very quiet. At about 50mph or higher the wind noise ramps up. Tire/road noise hasn’t been an issue, though, just wind. The other day a Mustang was tailing me, revving its engine (ice). So I punched it around a 50* turn off. Felt the back...

I am still learning FSD as I am first experiencing it with the free trial this month. While amazing in many ways I do find it frustrating at times, but the more I use it the better I get at managing it. It also seems to be a bit less buggy since the trial began. Fewer alerts, no phantom...

Do they need to lift the car or check the batteries for an inspection?

Ditto. The car is usually unplugged for weekends.

Okay. I get it. Didn’t realize passenger cars are available with this in the market. And hopefully this never happens, but if a person is injured or worse by a car in Level 3 self driving mode, does this mean the law will not come after the “driver” even if that driver is watching tv, etc rather...

In the commercial the guy is watching tv. Just seems bizarre they would advertise in this way.

Yes. That’s the one.

Hard to believe “no driver attention” is considered legally safe.

I’m watching the Masters Tournament right now and they keep showing commercials of a guy driving a Mercedes while watching tv and gazing out the window. Chevy has commercials with similar non-monitoring driving taking place. Why is no government agency clamping down on this? Seems completely...

I find FSD to be amazing, but with some serious caveats: In the rain on the highway it slows to the point I feel I have to turn it off. Then I’m stuck without cruise. If I don’t hold down the turn signal long enough while changing lanes it aggressively veers back to the original lane. It...

After all of the service I wouldn’t expect the following to help out, but I’ll share to include how I resolved my wind noise from the window. When I first got my 3 the weather stripping was bunched up a bit in my driver side door. I bought a lubricant, hoping it would help it straighten out. It...

I’m thinking about purchasing wheels for a M3RWD and can only find wheel and tire packages on the Tesla site. Can you buy wheels alone? Already have tires.

Just a follow up. Finally was able to file successfully with the Clean Energy Credit. Waiting for direct deposit to appear. I am happy to report I was able to claim the full $7500., though was not able to qualify (census tract) for the charger and install. We owed a couple thousand before the...

I hand wash with a car mop that has a microfiber head. I clean the mop carefully after each use. Start with windows and top, then hood and top of doors. Finish with lower parts of car and back end. I rinse with a hose that I use a carbon filter on. This filter removes all iron and other hard...

I got a two pen touch-up. First pen is a primer, the second matches the paint. Just an Amazon purchase. The chips are small enough I wasn’t too concerned about how perfect the paint was. Worked great.

I wash the front daily from about May through October. I have a car wash mop that takes about two minutes to use. I just use a bit of water. Cannot stand the bug stache. About once a week I wash the entire car and use Meguiars ultimate quick wax spray. Less than an hour by hand. In the winter...

Will this include summon?

Thanks for the info. We bought our Model 3 in April of ‘23, right after they dropped the price, like, three times. With the state rebate and the federal tax credit it was easy to pull the trigger. Now I’m looking at the MY and wondering about trade-in value and tax credit/rebates and Tesla...

Get the new ‘23. Save thousands.

We didn’t have the wall charger installed in our garage for almost three months after we got our M3. I drive about 70 miles a day total to work and back. There is a SC on my way to/from work that I stopped at least twice a week, and it was barely an inconvenience at all. But I will add that I...

My car dry wipes now every time I turn on cruise or AP. Clear, dry windshield - dry wipes.

So, tried to finish up the taxes today with H&R Block software. It updates the Federal forms, including recognizing the Clean Energy EV credit. However, a window pops up stating cannot file until yet another update, expected to be ready by 22 March. smh

Is the Model 3 LR dual motor? I.e., Does long range come in only RWD?

Dang. Now I want to upgrade.

Ditto. I thought it was a glitch that the wipers turned on when AP was turned on. I get it that auto wipers would be the default, by it has been dry wiping. Does this happen now for everyone and you have to switch to off, or is this indeed a glitch?

The form is updated on H&R Block’s federal forms update page as of yesterday, Friday, 8 March. I don’t qualify for the 8911 credit, unfortunately. Missed out on $600 by two blocks.

Lately, my wipers have been turning on when I begin AP, as they default to auto. The problem is that they turn on when the windshield is dry and spotless. Very annoying. M3 ‘23.

Congrats! We nearly bought a Chevy Bolt but had to wait too long to qualify for the tax credit here. So we reevaluated and reached out to Tesla. They said, “C’mon down. Your Tesla is waiting for you to pick up.” It’s far from perfect, but when we are ready for the next car I can’t imagine going...

I had a decent offer on a car I traded in. When I showed up at delivery I’m not sure they even looked at my car.

This is from the manual for the Model 3, but I think it is the same for your Y. Check both appearance setting and brightness.

Just a thought. Some time ago there was an update that gave the option to view the screen with a “warmer” hue/tint. I found it too dark. Is it possible you have this option turned on?

Congrats! Post some more pics and a review when you get a chance.

Our experience was really bad, not at the delivery, but leading up to it. They were only available through the rep and her text number. We had a check from the bank and right up until we were half way to the delivery, 150 miles from where we live, the amount had changed. I texted that the number...

It seems that you have done your homework. There are a number of annoying issues with any Tesla, but I guess you have read up on them. There will be a learning curve, but from my own experience with the 3, it’s still probably the best value out there by far, and you’ll love the car for its good...

Resurrecting this thread to ask if anyone has successfully filed form 8911 with H&R Block this year for 2023 tax year. From what I understand, H&R Block will update on February 16. I’m hoping the form will be included this year. Anyone with some insight on this?

Our experience was the tale of two experiences. Once we decided to purchase an available car, the trade in process and confirmation was a breeze, all texting. But trying to get Tesla to deliver the necessary documentation to our bank and insurance in time was a nightmare. They literally changed...

My temp reads the garage temperature until I’ve driven the car for about 13-15 minutes. Then it abruptly adjusts, like changes from 45 to 21 in a blink. As a side note, I believe the speedometer is fast by one to two mph.

I’m concerned about the name issue. On my 15400 form my first and middle names are abbreviated. However, in the very next box is my ss#. Hoping this is not an issue.

I use a car wash mop and a five gallon bucket of water from my kitchen tap in the winter (outside bibs are turned off). For summer I use a carbon hose filter. No spots. I would use a self wash bay for quick and easy winter washes but we don’t have much to choose from around here.

It’s too bad. It can seem at times a nearly constant annoyance, imho. What bugs me is seeing Chevy commercials on tv every night with deep grinning drivers take their hands off the wheel and sigh with gratification with their ride. As a side note it was a really foggy day here and on my way...

We purchased a Model 3 last April. Didn’t want to wait for several mores years to pull the trigger on a BEV. I looked at the Chevy Bolt, Ford Mustang Mach E, and Hyundai Ioniq 5 along with the Teslas. At the time the only car among those options that was immediately available for the price being...

I travel 37.5 miles to work. This week we are in the teens and lower (F) and I go from 90% down to 40% by the time I get home. I have the M3RWD LFP with the heat pump, which I have set to 68*, also with seat and steering wheel heated. I have left sentry on but will likely turn it off when cold...

M3P. For practical purposes alone dual motor. I envy your opportunity; either way congrats.

Regarding dealer mark up, this is one of the major factors why we pulled the trigger on the Model 3 rather than the Bolt or Ioniq 5. We couldn’t get the model we wanted. Tesla called us and said, “C’mon down. Your car is waiting for you.” Exact price advertised and no salesmen. Otherwise the...

How do you set “specific rules”?

On paper it seems to be a better car, especially regarding ride quality with a better suspension and quieter cabin. But I think the refreshed front end looks like many newer cars today, while the ’23 and older have a more Porsche look. That being said it looks great and I think it is a great...

I have noticed the ride does seem better with four people in the car, but I haven’t tried adding weight in the trunk, specifically. I have changed tires for the winter up here and the ride seems a lot better. Another thing you can try is dropping air pressure in your tires. I dropped mine to 40...

Can you have multiple wav files on the flash drive or are you limited to one only?

Just got it at 3pm. 4/23 M3RWD no FSD. 2023.44.30.5.1 Hope this does it.

I got console trays, screen protector, and cup holder insert. I also have premium connectivity that I wasn’t sure I would keep, and now will definitely keep. Also considering Uber covers (for my RWD).
