Elon does have a track record for trying to accommodate potential buyers so they can take advantage of the $7500. It may be difficult to move production of the LFP batteries from China to the US in the next 3 months, but I believe he will do something about the Model 3 Long Range to bring it...

Hardware V4, new exterior color choices, CarPlay and return the damned Homelink as standard! Most importantly, do something about producing the LFP battery in the US or lower the price of the Long Range version so that it qualifies for the $7500 in Jan 2023.

Not sure of the timeline you're facing with the buyout decision, but if you can wait until January, did you factor in a $7500 tax credit that is waiting to be signed?

Same here. Dec 2018, replaced the 12v battery and the side mirror required a new wire harness. Both fixed in my garage at home under warranty.

A youtuber in Cali has an Ohmmu battery for a year and just experienced this issue. He disconnected the 12v and Main power under the back seat and for the past month, has not received another error message, but I am sure it will happen to him again.

Try Carbuyerusa.com for a sale quote. I have a 2018 Midrange and thanks to the pandemic, only 13k miles on the odometer. Currently being offered 47.3K, but 2 weeks ago the offer was 50k and I should have jumped on it. I can buy a standard range M3 for $49.4k and have a brand new car without car...

Your post is 100% correct. It was odd, and not surprising, that Tesla was not getting the recognition deserved for being the biggest catalyst in the EV movement. However, I am not surprised why it happened. My personal opinion is, all business leaders should keep their political opinions to...

I have lived in Florida since the 80’s and it wasn’t long after that I noticed a 12v battery failure in every one of my ice vehicles averaging 3 years. I never skipped maintenance checks. Maybe salt air accelerates this issue.

Lol. “Heating” It’s an Aroham wheel and it’s probably best I ask them to confirm.

I have a non-heated yolk on my 2018 Model 3 and considering buying a 2022-23 Model 3. Does anyone know if I can transfer this yolk to a new Model 3? FYI - I don’t care about losing the beating function that comes with the new M3’s.

I’ve seen this question asked before and I have never gone more than 2 1/2 yrs on my Model S or Model 3 without replacing the battery. And yes, I plugged in ever night.

My 2015 MS was plugged in every night and unfortunately it did nothing to extend the life of my 12v batteries in the MS or my current M3.

My personal average for Non EV 12v batteries in Florida has been 3 years which of course heat plays a factor. I never received a reason why Tesla's batteries were only getting 1-1/2 years, but it may have something to do with the 12v battery cycling more frequently. I believe this issue goes...

I am surprised that your battery lasted 3 years. When I bought a new 2015 Model S, Tesla Service said the 12v battery is lasting an average of 1-1/2 years. They were right, I went through 2 batteries in 3 years of ownership. My 2018 Model 3 battery was replaced in 2-1/2 years and the Mobile Tech...

Excellent post.

Ok. Good to know.

Thanks! I was not aware of this. I have a 2018 Model 3 and I think it will work for me, but not sure of the newer models.

Forgot to mention the above is from a rear wheel drive Model 3.

Yes, it will definitely work. You can find examples on youtube of tesla owners installing them.

I also had the battery failure on my 2018 Model 3 after 2-1/2 years. Telsa replaced it in my garage, but I have a reminder on my phone set for 1-1/2 years to replace it with the OHMMU Lithium battery since the car will no longer be under warranty after 4 years.

Hi All - I have 4 OEM coil springs with 3300 miles off of my 2018 Model 3 for sale on eBay with free shipping. Link below. https://www.ebay.com/itm/394073662933?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ncBpKet4T6S&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=ncBpKet4T6S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

That is the same conclusion I came to. Cabin Analytics was not included in my summary and I also have a 2018 M3 with 2.5 hardware.

Yes, I have the latest phone app update and have not rebooted the main screen. I’ll give it a try, but I plan to ask Tesla. I wonder if this applies only to V3 hardware? I have V2.5.

I just checked and the Data Sharing language is not the same.

Thanks for checking. I am going to check my release notes again and compare to yours.

Thanks, but I don’t have the option to toggle “Allow Cabin Camera Analytics” from my Software Screen. This option is not on my screen.

Just received update 2022.8.3 on my 2018 M3. I should be able to toggle cabin camera analytics, but it doesn’t show up on my release notes. I am already data sharing, but nothing states “camera” analytics. What am I missing?

Is anyone experiencing a problem with voice commands after the V11 update? I tried the same commands I always use, Display Tire Pressure, Display Odometer, Turn On Wipers and Navigate to ……. and none are recognized.

I don't disagree with your assessment of FSD which is why I won't buy it, but if all the other gripes were experienced by the owners, Tesla would not be selling more cars each year. I've owned a 2015 Model S and now a 2018 Model 3 and in 6 years of ownership, only had 2 issues....one side mirror...

Congrats! She's a beauty!

I was 57 when I bought my 2015 Model S and 60 when buying my 2018 Model 3. Love them both and despite being fortunate to own higher end cars, Tesla has been the most enjoyable to own.

I had these 19in. Vertini’s mounted 8 months ago and love them. Good value for money and slightly lighter than the 19in sport wheels that Tesla offers.

I've lived in Florida for many years and I have never been able to go past 3 years on a 12v battery change....ever. Even my new 2015 Model S required a battery change within 18 mos of ownership. My Model 3 will be 3 years old this December and due to covid, haven't driven much for the past 18...

I agree. I installed Eibachs a few months ago and like the look and the performance of them.

I've had location services for my Tesla app set to "Always" for the last 3 years and never a problem with battery drain. All other apps are set to Off or Only While Using.

2018 Model 3, 19in Vertini wheels and Eibach lowering springs.

December 2018 Model 3

Lol! 😩

Thanks. I am now scheduled with them for lowering springs and mounting new wheels.

Can anyone strongly recommend a shop in the Orlando area that installs lowering springs on a Model 3?

What did they charge for their mounting/balancing services?

The process of changing this filter reminded me I’m not 20 yrs old anymore. Most ridiculous diy I’ve ever seen.

I agree. It’s a good value, but I never used the functionality that it brings. I decided to continue without it.....for now.

This is why I started this thread. The above response is what I do and I don’t miss premium connectivity.

Has anyone decided to stay on standard connectivity and use your phone as a hotspot when needed?

Yes

It's happened to me twice for no reason or provacation within 1 yr of ownership of the Model 3. It never happened in the 3 years of Model S ownership, so this may be a new thing since there are more Model 3's on the road. I think your right about "green is dumb. Fuel burns! F the planet...

Thanks for the follow up, but at $395 for installation of the Power Lift Gate seems a bit much for a 2 hour install.
