    Buying a pre-owned Model S in Australia

    Damn that's a tough story there. I don't own a S, I love them, but judging by your experience, using one for a ride share business might be cost prohibitive.

    Highland Front Styling, Better or Worse?

    ^ Very true.. I have used my air compressor to blow out the impacted venting in the holes. I understand the benefit's of the ventilated seats, for me, the constant cleaning (my auto inflected OCD) and discoloration in the holes out weights the good. again, YMMV ;)

    Highland Front Styling, Better or Worse?

    My Audi A6 and Ford Fusion both had them. Never cared for them and always hated the little holes filling up with dust.

    Do these steering wheel covers cause damage?

    The Alcantara cover looks nice, but look at the aftermarket wheel, this looks fantastic! https://www.tesery.com/products/tesla-model-3-y-custom-sport-carbon-fiber-steering-wheel

    Highland Front Styling, Better or Worse?

    I had the option to buy a brand new 2023, or order a 2024 when I was in the market last September. I held off until the Highland was released, pondered it for a few days then ordered the 2023. I just cant get past the front end that looks like a million other mid sized sedans. It went from...

    M3 Highland whirring sound turning steering wheel ???

    Have you looked in the manual for all the expected sounds your car might make? There is a whole section about it.

    A Phoneix grandmother locked out of her Tesla with her grandchild in the back seat

    I think the claim that they were not notified about the LV battery going bad is dubious at best. Zoned out on meds is a more likely scenario.

    A Phoneix grandmother locked out of her Tesla with her grandchild in the back seat

    Don't you love how these News producers make it black and white for dramatic effect, Grandma looks inside from the outside, kids view. Good Lord, the car was INSIDE her garage! I felt like I was watching Hard Copy back in the 80's

    430k miles on one battery

    Click baitey for sure. I refuse to click on any video that has those stupid silly thumbnails that all look the same. If it even hints at being AI generated, I keep walking.

    Is "phone as key" reliable?

    Phone key is all I have ever used since the day I took delivery. Its never let me down. I keep a key card in my desk at work just incase. I don't carry a regular wallet (hate them), only my iPhone with a Magsafe sleeve for my DL and two CC's.

    2024.20 headlights Finally

    According to the Interweb " the 2024 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range has adaptive matrix LED headlights. These headlights have pixel square mirrors inside the bulb of light, which can be identified by a bolt on the left and right sides of the headlights. The lights can be calibrated before driving...

    I bought a protector the day I took delivery. Why? to protect the screen. I know ME and I will find a way to bounce something sharp off that screen lol.

    2024.20 headlights Finally

    This is what I was trying to say, Kayrish said it MUCH better than I. Point is, nothing is moving. Lights are going on and off and the beam is being redirected. - I think - ;)

    My apologies, in my haste I added the wrong link. This is better.

    I don't think there are any moving parts.

    2024.20 headlights Finally

    Just a guess, lighting up the curves requires the pixels to shine on some of the angled reflectors. This was probably not happening before.
  25. Lance From Jax

    2024.20 headlights Finally

    Will this include the ability for the headlamps to block out beams that shine in the oncoming cars eyes? I did read that it will allow the light beam to "round corners" and to shine further down highways, but I didn't see anything about block outs.

    Sentry Mode is so ridiculously bad

    Just curious, did you ever consider that it might be your car and not Sentry Mode as a whole? I have yet to have a false alarm.

    Here is the damage from the Basenor mud flaps. They were only on my car for 3 months.

    Wiki Model 3 Highland Ultimate Accessory List

    Beware of the Basenor mud flaps. They have a sharp edge that presses against the paint and will rub through to the primer, then the metal. Don't ask me how I know this. These have shown to be much better. So far no paint damage...

    Is there a setting for speed camera and red light camera alerts?

    For what its worth, I have a 2023 Model 3, RWD and received the 2024.14.8 3 days ago. It also came with the speed camera chime.

    Sentry mode not sending alert videos to my iPhone

    I received the new UI update to my 2023 Model 3 a week ago. I know I should be getting video alerts sent to my phone when Sentry mode is triggered. I am not. Am I missing a setting? Thanks!

    Quick 4-month new MY report

    Not to be a Debbie Downer but I disagree that the Model Y is "better". It, as always, comes down to choice and personal preference, I am a Model 3 Owner, I test drove both, spent weekends with both, I found the MY to be to upright for me. I prefer the laid back recliner feel of the Low slung...

    Thoughts after a 2300 mile journey

    I too have experience the rapid change in speed, usually I am cruising down the highway at 70 with Autopilot on, and suddenly my car will slow to 45. I assumed it is seeing and reading speed limit signs that are on a service road running along side the highway.

    I am frankly shocked by how stunningly ugly the Cybertruck is

    I hate to tell you this but your opinion only counts as one opinion. There any many, and many like the CT for lots of reasons. I personally think its completely bada**! I think the design is incredible and I know, my opinion is just 1 of many.

    Vendor 🚨 The easiest way to protect your Tesla just got easier 🚨

    ":In the event of a breakdown, please take your vehicle in to your manufacturer’s service center, or any Electrified Garage repair facility." Other than a Tesla service center, are these two locations the only non manufacture repair place available? That seems very limited.
