    Loud snapping or popping noise

    It's not that. I've heard that before. That sound is from below the car and I'm familiar with it. This was clearly at the roofline near the sun-visors.

    Loud snapping or popping noise

    Sorry to bump an old thread, but this just happened to me today and I came online to look for a solution: I heard an extremely loud thump/pop noise that sounded like a large rock hit the top of my windshield. There were no other vehicles in sight to have thrown something at us, and I was only...

    My car (literally) smells like dog #$@!

    Yea, that’s not worth much! 😜😁

    Model 3/ Model Y Center Console 2.0

    $750 for an item you didn't pay for and is damaged? You should strongly consider that $300 offer from above. It's more than fair...

    2018 Leaf vs Model 3

    Hey now, back off!! The Aztec is a classic! The original crossover!!! :D

    Ultra white premium seats stain resistant coating

    Slightly off topic, but do we know WHEN the UW seats will become available, or are we still stuck with the generic Tesla response: "Soon"? I've got a Mar/May expected delivery and I would REALLY like those white seats. It could be the one thing that causes me to delay my order if they aren't...

    2018 Leaf vs Model 3

    Well, here's a new reason for considering the Leaf if you live in North Carolina. Too bad they aren't doing this for the Model 3. $10,000 rebate, plus the $7500 tax credit... Nissan $10,000 Rebate for North Carolina Residents - Plug-in NC

    Supercharger - Raleigh NC

    Just wishful thinking, but the White Oak Shopping Center at Exit 306 in Garner is easy on/off with the new exit ramps finished. There's already a Sheetz there with plenty of space in their parking lot, plus an entire undeveloped corner as well as a massively underutilized parking lot in front...

    Supercharger - Raleigh NC

    That address (Specifically the 4321 Lassiter) is actually the intersection of Lassiter Mills Rd and Six Forks at North Hills and is already marked as North Hills Electric Car Charging Station at the Exxon there. (Maybe Sheetz is buying it and upgrading?) Google Maps

    So Like it has been a Month, What If..

    I refuse to vote in a poll when the original question includes the work LIKE, used in the way virtually every teenage girl does these days: at least three times per sentence. "So Like it has been a Month, What If.." I was going to skip this thread entirely, but wanted to see if the commentary...

    2018 Leaf vs Model 3

    I accept your forgiveness. And that of @SageBrush as well. ;) (For as he said, an "uninformed consumer" is still a consumer. :cool:)

    You did, but that's OK as well...

    2018 Leaf vs Model 3

    Thank you again for proving this simple point. You are right that a great number of people will conclude "it's no contest", but there exists a segment of people who will disagree. That in itself is all that's required. It IS an absolute, period. Think of it this way. The New York Jets and the...

    2018 Leaf vs Model 3

    The idea that the Leaf is not a Model 3 competitor has been entirely disproven in this thread alone. The fact that on a TESLA fan forum that the discussion isn't unanimous pretty much ends all debate right there. The Leaf IS a Model 3 competitor and a very good one at it. This is THE perfect...

    We Don't Need No Stinking Badges

    I sort of hopped in this thread late and just skimmed it. So is there no basic Model 3 badge at all? Or is that there and no further distinction? My gut was thinking that when I heard they were doing away with the battery sized badges that we would be left with a generic "Model 3" badge for...

    60 mph; excellent road markings and AP2 tried to throw the car at the median

    As a Model 3 reservation holder, and even though I'm a "gotta have it if I can" sort of guy, I'm really thinking it may be a good idea to simply wait on EAP. And I'm really wondering (betting?) that if down the line the software doesn't progress as far or as fast as Tesla wanted that the price...

    Model 3 for college kid?

    This x1000. I have two kids in college right now. Both are very responsible and had saving of their own before heading to school. Both still have their original inexpensive "first" cars (12yrs old, worth about $3k each) they got from us when they first got their license. Neither had any...

    EAP versus FSD

    Heh, I wish the smiley at the end of the post was bigger. I totally meant the entire reply to be a joke. And I'm right there with you being cheap. I've already talked myself into the Aero wheels, and I am seriously contemplating waiting on EAP just because I'm concerned about how much I would...

    EAP versus FSD

    If you know you will get it for sure later, but worried about the extra $1000, just get your M3 in black and call it a day. There's your $1000 savings. :P

    [Speculation] Production 18" Wheels without Aero Cover

    Follow-up question. Do we expect Tesla to sell center caps with the logo for the wheel under the aeros for those who wish to remove the covers? Clearly the dark grey example we saw had them, but the pre-production silver one did not. Just wondering if that's something the senior exec at Tesla...

    [Speculation] Production 18" Wheels without Aero Cover

    It looks like we've now seen two Model 3's without their Aero covers on. One was a pre-production model that looked like the rims were just unfinished steel, while the other one was a production model that looks like the rims had a nice titanium colored finish. I'm not going to debate which it...

    Here is why I'm getting the bare bones 35k T3

    I'm a bit skeptical on this point. As Autopilot and Self Driving become more advanced (and more common in competitors) down the road, do we really think Tesla will still charge us MORE than the original price -- especially if those options are available for far less in competitors and newer...

    Model 3 RC sightings

    Was thinking the same thing. Also was thinking those rims were butt ugly, but now I can see liking them if I went with White... they are unique enough to be distinctive and a conversation piece by themselves.

    Did Elon Musk lie to us?

    My gut feeling is that we have not seen the true interior of the car yet, even in these recently photographed release candidates. I think there are some big (if not earth shattering) changes coming, and that is what the final reveal is for. I have no true evidence for this, other than A)...

    Did Elon Musk lie to us?

    Devil's Advocate: Not everyone is going to be buying the car with Autopilot.

    My friend's model X crashed using AP yesterday

    I admit I'm a newbie here (I'm a lowly Model 3 Reservation holder) and found this thread on my Google News feed researching everything Tesla. But one thing that hasn't been mentioned yet, and can clearly be seen on Google Maps near the intersection of Rt 55 and Rt 2.... Crop Circles! Maybe it...
