    Trade in question?

    My experience in 2022 when I traded in my 2018 M3 for a 2022 M3 was that the quoted trade-in was only good for 30 days. If the 30 days expires before you take delivery of your new vehicle - you either need to request a new quote or sell it on your own. Enjoy your new Tesla.

    4-6 weeks for replacement glass??

    I had Tesla replace windshield. It was done by a mobile tech and within a few days of requesting appt. Note that Safelite or any other windshield repair companies have to by the glass from Tesla (and likely add an additional mark-up). The Tesla windshield come with a built in mounting area for...

    Tire Replacement Cost on Leased M3

    I was at the Tesla service center for some minor warranty work several months ago. Another customer came in and needed a replacment tire (they had received a tesla loaner tire with a roadside assistance). The service advisor suggested the;y buy a replacement tire at Costco or Discount tire as...

    Lease Return- windshield replacement- Can file through insurance or must replace at a Tesla dealership Out of Pocket?

    Other Dan brings up an excellent point about calibration. When the Tesla tech finished replacing windshield he selected camera calibration form the service menu. After some driving the cameras were calibrated.

    Lease Return- windshield replacement- Can file through insurance or must replace at a Tesla dealership Out of Pocket?

    I had to have the windshield replaced due to a 3rd party damaging it when doing PPF. In this case the 3rd party paid for the repair in full. It was set up as a Tesla mobile service and the 3rd party paid Tesla directly. The tech who did the work (it only took a little over an hour or so) said...

    CPO process in buying M3; can I avoid delivery charge by picking up directly?

    My understanding is that the destination fee is always part of the sticker price; even if you pick it up at the factory.

    Update to 36.6, car has lost profiles and is "lost"

    I had something similar happen to me several years ago when I had my 2018 M3. When outside temps dropped and tire pressure dropped enough to inidate low pressure (even though they weren't low); after rebooting the profiles, navigation history, etc. were gone. I don't recall if trip odometer...

    Model 3’s available Nov/Dec

    It's very clear if you look towards the bottom of each car's listing. It says "Expected to be built and available for delivery in Nov-Dec" (emphasis added by me on Expected). It looks like they are taking pre-order reservations for 2023 models they expect to start building later this fall their...

    Passenger climate controls

    The controls are always visible. If there isn’t a passenger in the seat and you tap the driver climate control you will see there isn’t air flow on passenger side.

    Screen is doing something very odd [Rainbow road easter egg]

    If you move right hand stalk down 4 times it activates AP (actually the 2nd down movement starts AP) and puts it into rainbow road visual with the more cowbell music. You can check out details on it from entertainment screens.

    Front camera while driving on Model 3 2021

    It certainly would be nice if they could do that. I thought that perhaps they could use software and use the side cameras plus the forward cameras to create a pseudo birds eye view. At one point there were rumors that would be in a later software version. So either it is harder than I think...

    Removing sold car from my account - Carmax

    I sold my 2018 M3 in May '22 and replaced with a 2022 M3 the same week. It was easy for me to remove the old vehicle using my Tesla account on their website. I didn't try to remove it using the app. As noted in the Tesla instructions the documentation on my 2018 M3 is in the Previously Owned...

    Model 3 LR not currently available to order (USA) [posted 08.12.2022 --Its back! 05.02.2023]

    After seeing your post and another similar one I went to Tesla site and see that Tesla M3LR is grayed out. Under it there is a note that says "Available in 2023". My guess is that they have reached the order capacity for 2022 LR and have stopped taking orders for it until ready for the 2023...

    Best USB Hub

    In my 2018 M3 I used the original Jeda hub with a Patriot brand 120GB USB thumb drive. I used it for about 2 1/2 years until I traded in my 2018 for a 2022 M3. I never had a problem with the Jeda hub or the thumbdrive. Zero error messages. The hub also powered Jeda wireless charger. Maybe...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I believe it only shows up under the individual listed as the primary person on the order. For vehicles registered in both names, Tesla requires the other registrant to create their own Tesla account to sign documents - however the order doesn't show up there. If you want your wife to sign in...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    I read the current text states it is not retroactive; it keeps the current sales cap in place until 12/31/22. My understanding is that if the final bills stays the same it will go into effect in 2023.

    Best place to buy Model 3 tires? For 235/40R19

    I had great service and pricing at Discount Tire when replacing OEM Michelin on my 2018 M3 LR. Discount Tire even applied Pro-rata credit from Michelin since the OEM tires were well below their 45K mile warranty. I suggest buying their inexpensive tire repair/replacement warranty. A few weeks...

    Supercharger - Santa Nella, CA (LIVE, 48 V3 stalls)

    As promised here are a few pics on progress as of 6/28/22. Location is adjacent to Hotel Mission de Oro (nice place to stay by the way). Obviously paving is still needed; could not tell if electrical is in place or not. Perhaps my next trip North I can use this location instead of Pea Souo...

    Supercharger - Santa Nella, CA (LIVE, 48 V3 stalls)

    This is great news! I have charged a few times in the past at the current Gustine location; but try to avoid unless I really need to charge around that location. The location is cramped and facilities at the Pea Soup Andersons are sub-par in my opinion. Does anyone have an idea when the new one...

    Problem Setting Up Co-Registrant

    She needs to set up her own account at Tesla. She can complete the registration info in the app using her log-in. However once you get the car if you want to; you can each just use one Tesla account on the app.

    How does trade-in work when you are taking delivery?

    If you get a trade-in quote from Tesla; Tesla will payoff the old loan and apply difference between trade and loan payoff as down payment on new car. I’m in CA; check with your Tesla advisor to make sure it is same for you.

    Compass and navigation

    I agree with you; I too found that change annoying. If you don't quickly tap the compass icon right after initiating nav - it is covered up.

    Ordering options

    Your choice is all wheel drive long range for USD $50,990, AWD Performance USD $48,990; or a rear wheel drive USD $44,990 (standard range). The $35K rear wheel drive is long gone! If you tried to eliminate rear wheel drive you would have to push the car yourself!

    Where did tire pressure go? V11 Model 3

    Its unfortunate they took away the swipes at bottom to see tire pressure along with trip info. Just another example of how poorly some of the design decisions were in this release. Some were improvements - others like this one don't make any sense at all in my opinion.

    Charging Stations missing on v11

    Drove from northern to southern CA yesterday. I found the voice command of “show superchargers” populated the map the same as the map icon did on old version. It makes no sense why Tesla buried it in a menu. Seem a step backwards like some of the other changes.

    TuneIn subscription - still getting ads?

    I agree with Kimmi. No matter how many software improvements I have had over the last 3+ years - TuneIn continues to be sporadic in connecting. The other streaming service works 100% of the time; but TuneIn on a semi-frequent basis either won't obtain signal immediately or will be playing...

    Trip Meters?

    In the lower area left portion of screen if you drag one way you will see tire pressures. Scrolling the opposite way brings up a trip/odometer page for which you then scroll up/down to read the various entries. First is stats (miles, time, kWhr) since last time you started driving. Next one is...

    Answering Incoming Call Only From Screen?

    You are right; Tesla should enable using a press on the scroll wheel. That said; with a little practice you can tap screen without really looking at screen. I hope Tesla eventually fixes it.

    Any webaccess to Tesla controls?

    Can't help you with a work-around. Just want to point out you will need to turn off your phone when you leave it in your car - otherwise the car won't lock. Congrats on getting the M3 - you will absolutely love it.

    I don’t know how or if even possible to shut off flashing headlight feature in Sentry. Best I can thin of is to back into the space. You probably have already considered that.

    Referral code for my second Tesla? And other questions.....

    Autopilot vs FSD question

    I too have early 2018 with EAP and also thought $5K too pricey for HW3 and better visualization since FSD still likely quite awhile away. But did think it would be worth around $2K. Last week Tesla sent me an email offering me HW3 and FSD for $3K. Offer was good thru 6/30 - so I decided to take...

    lease and federal tax credit for Model 3 delivered in 2019

    Everyone is correct that the lessee does not get the credit, the lessor (owner) gets the credit. However since you are in the CA Bay Area check with your air quality district to see if they still have funds for the clean air vehicle program. For that program the rebate goes to the person who...

    Blindspot monitoring and Lane Departure avoidance errors

    Thanks for clarifying the specific error messages you see. I’m on 32.12.2 and have not seen these messages. However since getting 12.2; I sometimes see the “take control immediately” warns for no apparent reason. I didn’t see ‘this message on 12.1 or earlier versions.

    Why can't I see both Battery Percentage and Miles??!

    I agree with you completely. I too have thought it would be a good feature and thought of asking Tesla to consider. My Nissan Leaf would show miles left plus SOC not directly in percent but instead with 8 bares; each bar represented 12.5%. My Kia Soul EV also displayed both. There is great info...
