    Whistle noise from tire/axle

    So as I pull into my garage (or any low speed) I can hear a whistle.... the slower I go the longer it lasts... so I know it is based on speed and coming from the tire area. Is this something I can grease? I have had my control arms replaced already in the front, and I am reasonably sure this...

    Model 3 AC Smell Update...

    That is an old post... I did some research back then and I do now have that screw in the car. I got the Tesla repair person to do it when I had it in for service.

    UGH - The smell of it. [AC Smell]

    Hi I have it too but lately the cleanout and the not using recirc has been working. with that said... Why not investigate buying a cheap ozone maker. Do the research on how long... obviously it's unsafe at high levels but evidently a few minutes may knock out your problem without endangering...

    Mixing Tires - Very similar/ need opinion

    Good to know. I bought mine back in 2018 so I'm good. I figured since I am getting $150 back plus whatever Pirelli sends me I thought it was best to get 4 new ones in case another one of the discontinued tires has trouble... since they are newish maybe the money back will be a good thing to now...

    Mixing Tires - Very similar/ need opinion

    Just a quick update for anyone who is now lucky to read this..... So if you have the Pirelli P7 All Season PLUS tires on your Tesla... that tire is DISCONTINUED.... So I called Pirelli.... They said I can't mix the PLUS 2 BUT because they discontinued the tire... I can buy 4 New PLUS 2 or...

    Mixing Tires - Very similar/ need opinion

    HI, I have 4 235/40R-19 PIRELLI CINTURATO P7 ALL SEASON PLUS XL on my Tesla. I got a nail...and its irreparable. These tires are 19 months old and due to the pandemic I probably have not really worn them down too much. Pirelli now sells 235/40R-19 PIRELLI CINTURATO P7 ALL SEASON PLUS II XL...

    UGH - The smell of it. [AC Smell]

    Hi, After paying them to fix all this ...I did exactly that and in less than a month it came back. They treated again...And yes I kept it off and after another month I can smell it ever so faintly again.. So for my car, this is not the solution to turn off recirc. I will keep it off and maybe...

    UGH - The smell of it. [AC Smell]

    I had the service done twice...2nd time was free. And it is back again. GRRR and I did what I was told to do. I don't have debris... ah well... At least it lasts only a few seconds and only on days there is high humidity or a long rainstorm.

    UGH - The smell of it. [AC Smell]

    I bought the screw off ebay. Now I can easily replace and spray the foam. And I had them put the screw in for me because it was in the Tesla shop and they were replacing the speaker connector they broke the last service so I said please do me a favor and put this in...and they did. So nice. I...

    UGH - The smell of it. [AC Smell]

    Unfortunately you have to be a contortionist to get the screw off. I am 6'3 football player build. Not football player money though. And so I splurged. I did replace mine the first time and lost the screw in the car...so the cover was taped on. The first guy found a screw that was close and used...

    Tesla Service Rocks!

    In Atlanta, the Mobile service is top notch (6 visits). Also the Decatur SC is also top notch (4 visits)! I took delivery in April 2018 so there were some issues (all minor) at first. I got the HW3 upgrade and replaced a control arm at the SC. The only weird thing is I am on my 3rd driver side...

    Best 19" Replacement Tire for Range/Efficiency?

    I think the RESIDENTIAL TIME-OF-USE RATE SCHEDULE TU-25 looks pretty good.. .approximately 4 cents.... .for most of the year. The only time is is approximately 28 cents is Jun 1 to Aug 31 from 2pm to 8pm. If you do not work from home...then this plan certainly looks appealing. Just get out the...

    Hilton Head, SC Charging... not ideal!

    I just needed enough to get to METTER where I sat for lunch and got enough to get me back to ATL. This was not any longer in my opinion than a lunch / gas stop so I plan to come back to HHI even though I did get stung on the ankle by a Jelly Fish on the last full day of the trip.

    Annoying CNN article...

    I don't think anyone said that. He was saying that in general. There are quite a few ways to disengage the Tesla Autopilot. I honestly didn't realize this was an AD..I thought it was a news story and was surprised the author would say something like that. I think your other part about why...

    Annoying CNN article...

    Well I got annoyed at the fact that you can do more than just TUG to get out of Autopilot... and the way they put it was an obvious attempt to paint it as an inferior product to the new Mach E autopilot system. LOL
