    Model Y induction rims on Model 3.

    This is what it would look like with OEM Model Y induction wheels and tires. Front would rub unless you put in about 17mm or 18mm spacer. You'd need 255/30R20 tires.

    how come my gen 1 model 3 horn does not work when it is raining?

    Water likely made its way into the horn opening and the metal disc that vibrates to make sound has corrosion. The age being moist from raining or actual water getting inside probably keeps it from working correctly. I've opened one of mine with this issue and cleaned it up to get it working...

    Why can't you order a new Model Y?

    Tesla hides the new order page from the main Tesla.com page, but you can still get to the new order page by clicking on the menu button on the top right. Like others have mentioned, inventory cars are new cars and you can get them quicker.

    Heavy Steering

    I also feel like my new 2023 Model Y LR AWD steering is really heavy compared to my 2018 Model 3 LR RWD. It even makes my left hand numb from gripping it (I usually only use 1 hand on the steering wheel). I have also not noticed a difference in effort between the 3 steering modes. I've...

    Has anyone bought and used Drag DR-83 wheels?

    Here's a picture of the stock 20" Induction wheel and tire next to a DRAG DR-83 18" x 8.5" ET30 wheel and 235/55R18 winter tire. You can see why the DRAG wheel is dual listed as 5x114.3 and 5x120, because it has two sets of lug holes. Also, the center caps are interchangeable between these...

    Inappropriate Windshield Wipes Related to Windshield Pitting?

    I just see this thread, but though I'd input my experience. Early 2018 Model 3, never had issues with auto wipers that I can remember. About 3 years ago when I started getting a lot of messages about AP being blinded by the sun. Cleaned the windshield in front of the cameras and noticed two...

    Review: Hankook iON evo AS vs Pirelli AS+ Elect vs Michelin PS 4S vs Michelin PS AS 4

    I've had 7 sets of tires (all Michelins of different kinds except for the Hankook Ion EVOs) and they usually last me 21k to 28k miles. The CrossClimate 2s were my longest lasting tires at 38k, and they mostly still have a very good amount of tread left. Only retired them because I had a...

    Does Model 3 Refresh Come With Floor Mats?

    Only the Long Range does. The Rear Wheel Drive (aka Short Range) does not. It was the same before the refresh. A relative and I went to test out the new refreshed Model 3 on Saturday and tested both the Rear Wheel Drive and Long Range.

    Does the model 3 highland (refresh have a different bolt pattern than Previous model 3?

    I haven't found any detailed info yet on anybody with a new Highland Model 3, but I don't see a reason why Tesla would change the bolt thread, size, bolt circle diameter, and center bore size from the same specs as they have always used for the Model 3 and Y.

    Review: Hankook iON evo AS vs Pirelli AS+ Elect vs Michelin PS 4S vs Michelin PS AS 4

    I drove CrossClimate 2s for 38k miles before retiring them and switching to Hankook Ion EVO AS tires. The CrossClimate 2s were great for all weather, including mud and rain. Didn't test them on snow because I use dedicated winter tires. They were just a bit noisier and not efficient. After I...

    January 2024 Cold Snap 2021 Model 3 Completely Bricked

    It is possible that the Chargepoint station, or any charging station can damage an EV while charging. However, I would put the chances of that happening as very low. Also, it would be difficult or impossible to prove unless it happened to other cars on the same station (in case you were...

    Brake pads

    Don't need any special tools for the rear pads, those just slide out. You just need a buddy to be in the driver's seat and either put the car in Tow Mode or shift into Neutral while you unplug the rear parking brake harness. This allows you to unbolt one or both of the bolts that hold the...

    Brake pads

    I replaced my pads at 39 months (around 65,000 miles) because two of my pads were separating. The friction material in two of my front pads was separating from the metal backer and I decided to replace them even though they still had A LOT of life left based on the thickness. If there were no...

    Brake pads

    There is no kit that I know of, and no need for one. All you need is a small brush to clean the pad backing plates and pins and sliding surfaces. Then some silicon grease to lightly lubricate just the parts that slide against each other. The only special tool you might need is a long pin...

    January 2024 Cold Snap 2021 Model 3 Completely Bricked

    Not likely. Also, the failure was probably just a matter of chance, and not at all related to the cold temperatures. Teslas have been around for more than a decade and in cold climates and areas without issue.

    Range for connecting to M3 using app (e.g., to turn on climate)?

    Actually, instead of flashing the lights try unlocking and then locking the car from the app first. Then if the car wakes up you can turn on the HVAC. I have the same issue once in a while where my car doesn't wake up and this sometimes works.

    Range for connecting to M3 using app (e.g., to turn on climate)?

    If your app doesn't connect to the car right away, try going into the Controls section and flashing the lights. Might have higher priority to wake up the car more quickly, then you can turn on the climate control.

    What is the deal with Tesla's lag on auto frunk capabilities?

    Tesla does not innovate on everything and does not always add all the bells and whistles that others do. Some of it might be to keep costs down, some because they don't think the feature is needed. There might be other reasons. The whole point of Model 3 was to be a basic car that was quick...
