    EAP to FSD - bite the bullet now or risk it?

    This is where I'm at. I know the feature bump from EAP to FSD isn't worth $3k, but I don't want to be left behind in the future. I didn't buy in at $2k but regretted it afterward. I decided $4k was just too high and that I wouldn't be buying FSD. I'm now conflicted with $3k.

    Added convex side mirror

    Those of you using these mirrors, are you putting one on each side of the car, or just the driver side?

    For AWD owners wanting a P3D-

    My opinion of all badging. But to each their own.

    For AWD owners wanting a P3D-

    Maybe it's just my winter tires (X-ICE), but it feels like there might be some slight slipping at launch with this upgrade thanks to all the extra torque being applied. Is anyone else experiencing this or is it just me?

    For AWD owners wanting a P3D-

    Just bought it this morning and did a few 0-60 runs. You can definitely feel the difference. Is it an essential upgrade? Not really. Do you want your AWD to be closer to the performance version? Go for it. Also, it took a couple hours after I bought it for it to update, but it’s automatic...

    For AWD owners wanting a P3D-

    This is really the big takeaway. Just comparing the two launches on video you can tell there’s a difference. Think I’m sold on the upgrade, but I might wait until I take my winter tires off. My original MXM4s only lasted 20k miles. Don’t want to shred these new winter tires too quickly, ha.

    Haha, right. I deleted my chrome so I have black on the brain.

    For AWD owners wanting a P3D-

    I'd vote for the same line underneath Dual Motor but black instead of red. That said, I'm not a fan of the Dual Motor badge in general and haven't put mine on my car.

    MASTER THREAD: USB drives that work with Sentry and TeslaCam

    I had a SanDisk Connect poop out on me last week and bought this micro SD setup from Vteq. Comes with the TeslaCam folder preinstalled and everything. So far so good.

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    I'm in the same boat (have posted about this in other threads) and feel your pain. My 2018 AWD charges to 280 at 100%. Just had it in to service on Thursday for a few minor things and asked them about resetting the BMS. They ran diagnostics and said the battery was functioning "normally." Not...

    RPM’s Front Bumper/Apron Appliqué - Thoughts?

    I just tried to install this last week and screwed it up. Should have had a heat gun ready to go, but instead I got wrinkles, tried to smooth them out, and ended up stretching the material and just ruining it. Wish I lived in close enough to just have RPM install it. But my inexperience and...

    Can't decide between AWD and performance

    I have an AWD non-p. Even though I rarely stomp the accelerator pedal to the floor, I wish I'd been able to afford the P3D (I was already stretching my budget). It's just on another level.

    AWD front motor sounds

    I posted earlier in the thread, but this is the same noise my August 2018 AWD makes. Service said it wasn't out of the ordinary when I took it in a while back. It is slightly annoying, but I normally have music or podcasts going so it's not a major issue.

    Sound system lost it's "punch" after latest update

    What is everyone here using for equalizer settings? Still on 46.2 and I've also been pushing volume to 3/4 where I used to be at 1/2.

    The Volt is dead, long live the Volt!

    Was really happy with my Volt lease, aside from the small battery. It helped me become fully submerged into the EV world. That said, my Model 3 blows it out of the water in all aspects. So, again, really happy it was just a lease.

    AWD front motor sounds

    Just got my Model 3 back from service for a few items. This specific motor whine/beep was on the list. Took the service tech for a ride to hear the noise and another noise the car was making, and he did say he heard it and would check into it. After diagnosis, I was told it was normal for the...

    Good sites to use with the web browser...

    This is the reason I doubt I'll really ever use the browser. I can use my phone to get any needed information much more quickly.

    Ownership transfer timetable

    Nice, that was quick. My registration papers just came in the mail this morning so I can finally get this process started.

    Ownership transfer timetable

    Minor gripe, but I'm a little annoyed that they need the state registration to do this. My name and info is already on the account as a secondary contact. I've had my car for over two months but still can't initiate the transfer because I don't have my registration yet.

    Anyone have mic issues when using bluetooth?

    I've had a few instances when the mic didn't work, but normally it happens with some other out-of-the-ordinary occurance, like getting in the car while already on the phone or some such. I haven't had any problems when first initiating a call from the car's interface.

    Who's tinted their windows?

    Pretty surprised you're having difficulty with this level of tint. That said, we're all different. I have 30% up front and 20% in the rear, which is darker than I've had before. Drove home from the tint shop at night and immediately thought I'd gone too dark. However, I adjusted after a few days...

    Powdercoated my 20s

    Nice, I've been looking at both. Obviously TSportline's is more expensive, but it sounds like RPM is having a lot of problems fulfilling orders and following up with customer service. I'm likely getting the 19 turbines from TSportline, so I may throw the spoiler in the mix, too.

    Is that from RPM Tesla or TSportline?

    Who's tinted their windows?

    Yes, ask for a refund (which you may or may not get) and absolutely find someone else who knows what they're doing. Plenty of us have had our full back windows tinted (myself included) and it was done well. Use social media to find other Model 3 owners in your area that have had it done and can...

    Looks great. Been thinking of painting the calipers on my white Model 3 as well. Yellow is definitely in the running.

    Anyone not getting Enhanced Autopilot (EAP)?

    Indeed. If you are using autopilot on a road with a driveway, YOU ARE USING IT INCORRECTLY. It's meant for freeway driving only. That's not to say that it won't function off the freeway, but if you use it in that scenario, you better be damn sure you're highly vigilant because it WILL behave...

    First 48 hours w/AWD (tl;dr: Blown Away!)

    Kind of wish I had the white interior, but I'll instead relish the fact that my AWD pearl white is around $3k more expensive than when I bought it. Also, I was initially on the fence about purchasing EAP vs. getting it later. Decided to just go for it. Super happy I did. EAP is a game changer...

    AWD front motor sounds

    Searched and found this thread because I'm experiencing what I think is the same thing with my AWD Model 3. It's noticeable in the 35-45 mph range and it's like a high-pitched squeak that comes and goes with what I assume is the revolution of the motor. I wouldn't care if it was just a...

    White Paint Bumper mismatch

    Picked up my white 3 on Friday. There is a slight mismatch, but not as bad as I have seen in previous pics. I honestly don't think I'd even notice if I didn't know to look for it. Not a big enough deal to get it fixed or worry about it.

    Powdercoated my 20s

    Love the look. I personally hate chrome. (Different people have different tastes? Shocking!) I picked up my white Model 3 Friday and have an appointment for tinting and chrome delete in a few days. I'll be buying black wheels from TSportline or EV Wheels Direct to complete the look eventually...

    $75.00 for a tire rotation!

    A little worried about this myself. Does the Model S have a similar setup for jack points? If it does, I'd assume they'd have some knowledge about it since the S has been around a while.
