    Model 3 with run flat?

    Not sure why all the hate on run flats -- I have had them (michelin) and they were just fine, repaired easily and the local tire shop had no issue with installs.. I had several sets that had far better traction and smooth ride than the Goodyear OEMs. If Michelin had them for my 3 they would have...

    Do you need exterior treatments like ceramic coatings? Newbie asks.

    I was fortunate in that our red came with very few paint issues (fremont delivery so no trucking protective coating and no factory post delivery swirls etc.) All I had to do was clean a couple of spots and buff one spot with a fine swirl remover (by hand). That being said we brought the car home...

    Did I hear correctly? FSD WILL require hardware updates?

    I now have had the car for 600 miles and just got the latest update. Summon is fun but the door lock beep is a winner. Wifi is nice but for updates and I am not sure what other use it has. But the true joy is that the car is not going downhill starting at DAY 1 off the lot. Think about it...

    Is there anywhere where one can sit in a model 3?

    I am over 6 foot and my wife is around 5 foot two. We have issues with pedal and steering location on many of our vehicles. We are close to the factory so that would be a possibility if there is a way to get a “Seating appointment”. We are an early line stander and expecting our order email...

    Model 3 Rear Window: Only Partial Tinting

    There has been a requirement (since 2009 I believe) to have lowE glass in autos in California. Low E can be a thin film evaporative or sputtering which may or may not have a tint in the visible. I believe there was an earlier discussion of proprietary glass developed in house for Tesla. Since...
