Can you change playback speed for pods and audiobooks? Can't see how to anywhere.

I've had a rough experience with regard to build quality with the used 2018 M3LR I bought in 2022. Ranging from minor annoyances like: -clicking noises when opening the doors -windows and door handles freezing in place in the winter ...to concerning things like: -paint flaking off around...

I think we have essentially the same exact conditions- record wet summer, bad mud every spring, way too much salt all winter. I drive in ME with great frequency. Not sure what the difference is for me. Clearly I have not been cleaning my car off as much as you, so that is probably most of it...

I swap out snow/all-season tires in the fall and spring, but I guess I haven't been looking closely at anything else. NH does do state inspections, but no one has said anything the previous year. The brake lines failed on the way to the inspection appointment, believe it or not. Car was at the...

Would have preferred to use Peabody as it's closer, but I had to take the earliest appointment, which was at Norwell.

I guess I've touched a nerve in criticizing Tesla. I really liked the car and may get another one. No need to be paranoid.

Yes, I don't think every Tesla is experiencing this issue, at least I hope not. Just saying that I have had several cars, and know of many more who drive the exact same roads as this Tesla that do not fill up with sludge and rust out in 3 or 4 winters. Also not just me- several other threads on...

Car is not garaged. Washing it in the winter seems essential, but is hard to do when it's below freezing almost the whole winter. Again, seems like a serious flaw that the Tesla collects so much dirt. I have a 15 yo Prius that I drive in all sorts of conditions and never wash that is basically...

Wow, thanks... you think I'm soliciting feedback from anonymous people on a forum and withholding info? Maybe that would be conceivable to someone who has posted on a car forum over 11,000 times... but I'm just trying to ask around about this situation I've found myself in. Other users clearly...

Looks pretty good in your pics, but beware of this: I had no idea that this dirt was accumulating and trapping salty moisture in the undercarriage, seems to be a massive design flaw.

Yep- seems to be a pattern. I have been talking to some journalists about this issue of Teslas in winter climates and they would be interested in hearing what you have to say as well. DM me if interested. @ravejads.tmc @Hotwheelzz @Essar B

Yes- roads are sanded and salted during the winter in New England, and many other northern states, Canada, Scandinavia, etc. You also end up driving on dirt roads from time to time. There is a lot of sand and silt that gets kicked up and trapped by the plastic sheet that covers the underside of...

Seriously... they also show the M3 on a dirt road.

I'd also encourage you to file a complaint with the NHTSB- this same issue cause our brake lines to fail when my wife was driving with our newborn baby. Report a Safety Problem | NHTSA

I never noticed any issues with the battery. I still haven't seen it- but it was described as corrosion on the battery pack, which then failed a leak test and was declared too dangerous to re-enable.

Yes, I agree that it's a ridiculous expectation that a car owner would need to repeatedly clean out the deep undercarriage of their car. Like you say... that's never been something you've had to do for a car unless you're mudding.

Great, thank you.

Can you elaborate on that? I am pursuing a complaint with the state AG's consumer protection office. Is there another avenue you're suggesting? Thanks!

II have a 2018 M3 LR that went into the SC and for corroded brake lines and has now has been found to have a defective battery due to corrosion issues. Tesla is refusing to honor the warranty because they say there is dirt in the undercarriage. I explained that the underside of the car has been...
