    FSD on older Model3s

    Are there any feedback of FSD on Older Model 3s? I am especially concerned with the cameras which are pretty low resolution in my March 2018 Model 3. Thanks

    Tried to turn on winshield wipers while driving; instead put the car in Park

    I live in a very rainy area called SoCal... So.. I was driving the other day and it was raining (it rains a lot in LA).. of course the “auto” winshield wipers were not working (which I think we can all agree on is the worst feature of the car but that’s another subject) and I tried to turn them...

    Rattle in rear (Model 3)

    Did anybody else experience this? There is a rattle in my car that seems to come from the backseat area. The rattle is triggered usually when going over bumps. This rattle appeared over time. I took the car in last Monday and they didn’t fix it. I was actually not very impressed with what the...

    How fast should people drive in the carpool lane?

    IMO driving 65 mph on the carpool lane is not a good practice (unless obviously there is a car in front!)

    ~220 mile range!

    I have this weird thing i have been trying to figure out for some time and was hoping for some feedback please: Our average consumption is around 267 kWh. So far so good. My understanding is the 310 range is based on 250 kWh. So I should expect around 289 miles of range. I am fine with that...

    Finally some real data on 18 vs 19 inch tire/wheels

    Improvement in braking not as good as I was hoping. Some tests on range would have been nice. Interestingly the reviewer reported that the ride on the 19 inch wheels was more comfortable. I hope this can help those on the fence. IMO the sport wheels/tires are way under rated. For $1,500 it’s a...

    Cleaning vegan leather interior

    I thought this could help people so posting this (Didn’t find a dedicated thread) Sunscreen residue ended in the front passenger seats last Sunday. Needless to say less than 10 days after picking up the car I wasn’t very happy. I tried to do the recommended approach from Tesla with no luck...

    Charging and model 3

    So we are planning to get a model 3 and need your input folks on a couple things please. We live in a house which is a rental and the garage is in a separate building 100 feet from the circuit breaker. Having a Nema 14-50 installed would cost at least $1k and I kind of don't trust the...

    18 vs 19 inch wheels? Help please

    I placed my order on Thursday night for a silver car with base tires.. (hopefully I can still change that) My reasoning for regular tires is the following: - 10 percent better range - I don't want summer tires because they are more fragile, more expensive to replace and need to be replaced at a...

    Any non employee/Tesla owner got their car as yet?

    I know employees and many current owners received their cars (or received the email to configure theirs). What about the rest of us though? You know the folks who have wanted a Tesla for years but could not afford one until now... Myself: Early reservation (3/31, 10 minute after the store...

    $55k for loaded M3 with 310 mile range

    A comparable model S costs $85k, and it only has 250 miles of range. A fully loaded model S costs $150k and it's still hard for me to understand what it really offers over a fully loaded model 3 besides ludicrous mode (the vast majority of people will be perfectly happy with a 0 to 60 time of...

    Level 2 charging compatible with Tesla/others

    Hi, I have a deposit for the model 3 which I will hopefully get in 2 years. I may buy a model S or another EV (looking into $99 a month Fiat 500E) until then. Ideally I would rather install a level 2 charger with the tesla standard. If I were to install a NEMA 1450 (which is the standard for...

    Anyone who plans to lease should read this

    I have always criticized the lease for the model S. I always made one exception though: demo P90Ds. Well it turned out that demo P90Ds got even cheaper to lease with the 24 month deal. Why is the deal much better? Well that's because when leasing the residual value is based off MSRP. So when...

    Tesla and reliability

    Both true delta and consumer reports present tesla as having serious reliability issues. True Delta shows that on average 60 out 100 Model S produced in 2015 made a trip to the SC for repair. Apparently that is the worse statistics of any car maker. Could someone please inform briefly non...

    Picking the right color

    Picking the right color is something difficult. Seeing the cars in person may be difficult as the dealership may not have existing inventory in all colors. Then configuring the car on teslas website does not give very detailed pictures. Then comes the topic of keeping the car clean. In our...

    Autopilot In SoCal freeways?

    I don't own a tesla for now. However I have been reading a lot about tesla and the autopilot in particular.. And now when I drive my non tesla car I started paying a little more attention to the markings on the road ;) Then I realized how bad those markings are! Also at first I was under the...

    Is buying a Model S still worth it?

    Hi everyone, I was in line at the tesla store on March 31 and put a $1,000 deposit. We were going to wait the 2 years and get the model 3. Then something happened about a month ago and my car (a Scion FR-S) got totaled by a drunk driver while being parked (no one hurt). I actually don't...
