    12V battery replacement [by tesla mobile service]

    I just got the alert yesterday after returning from a trip. It is insane to me that the battery goes after about 2.5 years for many. I have ran batteries in my BMWs for almost 10 years without issue. I’ll call the SC tomorrow as the scheduler says they are a month out. Also to the previous...

    Vendor Official APEX Wheel Thread - Tesla Model 3

    So happy to have you guys here! I had APEX wheels on my e46 M# track car, my e92 335, and will likely pick up some for my BMW M3 and probably my Tesla M3P!

    RECURRING EVENT: Cars & Coffee at duPont Registry in St. Petersburg

    Maybe I will try to make Armature Works. I had a bad experience at Reeves a few times, with their staff. Also, I believe DuPont has relocated to Clearwater.

    Upgrade to FSD before increase?

    Welcome to Tesla. It's not just a car, it's the latest greatest tech chase. ::sarcasm:: But honestly when I got my S, not two weeks later, AP2 was announced.

    Upgrade to FSD before increase?

    Totally a marketing ploy. Do I wish I jumped on the $2k last year sure, for the computer alone as my car was built right before HW3. No thank you for $10k and no thank you for $5k though my crazy mind did think for a split second ohhh I want this. I don't doubt Tesla will achieve something...

    Vendor DIY Chrome Delete Kit - Nikola Pro

    Satin is my pick. I actually might need to reach out to @Nikola Pro because i think i failed on my passenger "V" shaped rear piece. It might have gotten some water behind it as it is lifting ever so slightly. I love this kit!

    Road Trip Planning

    I just did a trip from Tampa to Asheville and back. Used ABRP to get options and looked at the car's suggestion. I didn't want to stop in Macon so I followed the ABRP until the car adjusted. I did not link ABRP to my Tesla account. I also generally don't go above the speed limit, so the...

    Has Any P3D+ Owners Gotten Carbon Fiber Spoiler?

    I know and it shows a quality issue of some sort. I have had an M3 spoiler on my 335 for almost 10 years without issue and I used to track that car.

    Has Any P3D+ Owners Gotten Carbon Fiber Spoiler?

    So my spoiler is being replaced for the second time this week. It keeps peeling off on the edges.

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

    Nothing really to enjoy vs EAP except the lights and stop signs right? I don't trust AP at all on a city street yet, especially not Florida. My commute, when I had one back prior to March, I couldn't even use NoA

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

    I didn't jump yesterday. I wanted to but I'll buy stock in something, maybe Tesla and cover any increase if I decide to buy.

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

    Well we don't get all visualizations. We don't get the traffic lights or stop signs or crosswalks as far as I've seen. Just everything is a cone. I tend to agree on the stock. Though I want a dip.
  18. GTIceman

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

    But what if you already have a P??? J/k I would agree with you most likely if I could comment on the FSD
  19. GTIceman

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

    I kind of want the updated computer, I don't care about the actual FSD. I bet we will see the branch happen sooner rather than later and less visualization on computers older than HW3.

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

    I just don't know that it is worth it. Now if Elon wanted a quick influx he should release a huge update like the week before or a few days. A bunch will jump on it and rave the. It will hit the news and some will get in before and some after but with only a $1k bump more won't feel totally...

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

    I skipped on the FSD when it was $2k, had something else come up at that time that was more pressing. I have no belief, okay maybe 0.00001% that we will see Level 4 any time soon. The reason I would pay is just to have HW3, but not at the current price. I appreciate the technical work that...

    Full Self Drive Upgrade

    I rotate through cars but we will likely keep this for a number of years (5, maybe a few more), but I still think regulatory approval will take a while. I've looked at the Taycan and am always looking to see what is new. At some point I might want a Y or a Roadster or an S again so that is why I...

    Full Self Drive Upgrade

    There is no slightly above level. It is still level 2 and what you are getting are just more assistance feature. Until regulators allow, and Tesla states it is ready, for the cars to drive with driver hands off. Level 3 is kind of a weird limbo place because it requires the establishment of an...

    Ha. I did blue vinyl but might switch to satin black. Matches the TESLA in the rear.

    Deep Blue Metallic - Show me pictures of your car today!

    Are those the Tesla Track Pack wheels? The are the referral wheels too right? Also jealous on the solar and powerwalls. We don't think we will be in the current house more than 5 years so doesn't make sense.

    Deep Blue Metallic - Show me pictures of your car today!

    I am getting the wheels done in a grey/gunmetal. I wish that was available when I got my 3. Tint is XPEL XR Plus. 20% all around minus windshield which is actually 50% (was going to do 70% but noticed that even 50% didn't reduce vision).

    Full Self Drive Upgrade

    I currently have EAP and I see almost no reason to buy the FSD upgrade other than the HW3 component.

    I need to know about your rattles....

    Interesting. I'll have to look at that tomorrow or Sat. I have grabbed the screen and it stops, so sounds like the same issue. Thanks for the tip!

    I need to know about your rattles....

    Tesla recently told me that they would be charging me a diagnostic fee to listed for the rattles and determine if they are due to a defect. If they are, they would be fixed and the fee wouldn't be charged. If they couldn't find or they were a "defect" then I would be. According to the warranty...

    Performance Mode 3 Variant Naming Convention.

    I don't disagree with the P3D comments but I have probably embraced the one more. I do not like the M3P variant as someone who owned a BMW M3. If Elon used 3P+ I wonder if he would use 3LR, 3SR, SLR??? (Looking at Mercedes here), SP, XP? I am starting to come around to jsut calling it Model 3...

    Rotating Tires question

    I agree with that generally as I had one misread and cause something to shear off. I do however use an HFT one for wheels because they generally aren't far off as I tested one and it was maybe 1-2 ft-lbs off

    Mouse infiltrated Model 3

    So I have a theory, is your phone constantly connected when you are in your home and the car is parked? If so, generally the car keeps awake and used the HVAC a lot more and this opens vents. I actually had ants get in mine this way as my phone generally keeps the car awake at home so now I shut...

    What Swag did Tesla give you at delivery?

    Doubt it. I didn't even get my day 1 die cast model 3. Swag days are long gone I agree.

    No psi showing with winter tires?

    You will need to do a TPMS reset. It will throw an error likely when the other wheels and tires are no longer within range. It needs to learn the new sensors.

    Common way to greet other Model 3 drivers?

    I used to wave to other S and X drivers when I had my S. With the 3 I really only wave now when I see drivers with modified cars due to sheer volume. We also have a Mini and they have a waving history, but even that is sadly shrinking.

    Vendor DIY Chrome Delete Kit - Nikola Pro

    I finally tackled the 9th piece yesterday for the mirrors. Passenger side wasn't too bade but I still had an issue with the driver's side and possibly have a sliver of chrome on the end of the mirror. In my experience, one of the more difficult pieces to install likely because of trying to line...

    Will Enhanced/Smart Summon work in an indoor underground garage?

    I park straight in a spot at my office parking deck inches from a wall. There is a concrete pole like you see at fast food places that is basically four feet in front of the wall. Sometimes regular summon decides to turn the wheel and heads straight for the pole for no reason after the...
