Hi Everyone, I just got my Model 3 back after I had some work done on it (Battery, recall, and some creaking noise coming from the front wheels). As I was driving back home, I noticed I could not hear anything when I tried listening to ESPN or the news. I thought that was odd. I then tried...

Hi Everyone, this evening I opened up my app and recd an error message that stated my my model 3 was removed from my account. I logged out of my app and signed back in and it still was not there. I deleted the app and downloaded it again but still, my model 3 was missing. Any of you owners have...

HI All, its been awhile since I have been on the forum. I hope everyone is doing well. Reason for the post is because I noticed that I have dots on my regen braking bar. I know those dots will be there if it is cold or if I charged to 100% but this past Saturday, I charged to 90% and the temp...

HI Everyone, I wanted to check to see if anyone else is having issues with logging onto their Tesla account or app? I tried logging into the app to see what my battery level was and it asked me to enter my password, I enter it, but it says my ID and password does not match which was weird. I...

Hi Everyone, I have had Tesla Solar panels installed by Tesla since late April of 2019 and have not had an issue. I was talking to a friend about them because he was also interested in possibly getting them as well (especially when I showed him my electric bill) and he asked me a question that...

Hi Everyone, My iPhone X has worked flawlessly ever since I got my Model 3 in October of 2018, but for whatever reason, the last two weeks I have been having trouble. Now about half the time when I walk up to the car to get in, it says I need my key card. I basically have to get my phone out...

Hi All, I am new to the whole aftermarket wheel scene. I have been kicking around the idea of changing out my 19" sport wheels for one of the following... https://velocitymotoring.com/wheels/v801/ or The V-FF 107 Wheel Flow Forged Wheels & Custom Rims | Vorsteiner Wheels I was wanting to...

Hi Everyone, I recently got the firmware update that has Sentry Mode and am really excited about that. I also purchased a 256gig Supersonic Rage 2 thumb drive from Amazon to use for Sentry Mode and Dash Cam. I believe I formatted the thumb drive correctly because when it is in the car, I get...

Hi Everyone, I wanted to get an idea of how long it usually takes to hear back from Tesla after having the site survey done. I had a nice gentleman come out on Saturday January 26, 2019 but due to the weather, we was only able to look at my attic and my breaker box. He came back out on Tuesday...

Hi Everyone, I was wanting to know what the highest wattage per solar panel does Tesla provide? I saw a youtube video where the person said 325W was the highest the offered. Is this true? Also, what are SRECS? In my Tesla quote, they offered to buy mine for about $500 but some recommend...

HI Everyone, I am in the process of getting quotes for going solar. As this is so new to me, many companies are providing me quotes with the brand of solar panels they will be using. I have not heard of many of these companies so I am not sure how I can come to a good decision with such little...

I just had a Tesla rep come over mu house (I live in Pittsburgh) as I am thinking of getting solar panels but am going to wait to talk to a local installer as well to see what they have to say. The Tesla rep gave us two proposals...one is a PPA and the other is to purchase outright. Purchasing...

Hi Everyone, I am expecting to pickup my Model 3 this Friday and will be dropping it off to my detailer on Saturday to get some items done. I was thinking/wanting to get the rear window tinted to match the side windows and was wondering if people had any issues. i only ask because I read...

Hi Everyone, I am gearing up and getting excited for my deliver this Friday (9/2) (not gonna lie, a little nervous too...hoping there are no issues with the car) and was wanting to know if any current owners have an idea how early in advance does the delivery center receive the car before it...

HI Everyone, I am having two electricians coming over on Tuesday to give me estimates on the cost of installing a NEMA 14-50 outlet in my garage near my main box. I am not very knowledgeable about this sort of thing so I wanted to ask if it is needed or required to get permits before having...

Hi Everyone, Am seriously thinking about getting a Red Model 3 and get a chromo delete along with powder coated wheels. Wanted to get your opinions on this set up. Do you think i would look odd? I know white would look better with a chromo delete (storm trooper look) but not sure how good...

Hello Everyone, I hope you all have a nice Memorial Day weekend! I have a question that I was hoping one of you more experienced individuals would be able to answer for me. I have always had an SUV that was AWD so I never purchased winter tires before. The Model 3 will be my first car that I...

HI Everyone, This may be me being overly paranoid, but for any Model 3 owners that have the pearl white paint (the color I was wanting to get), have any of you seen some discoloration in the rear bumper as compared to the rest of the car? I only ask because on twitter there are some owners of...

Hi Everyone, Has anyone taken a look at this website evwheelsdirect.com? The prices seem to be better than what T-Sportline is offering for their wheels. They offer 18", 19", and 20" wheels and apparently they fit the OEM tires that come with the car. I am not very knowledgeable about...

HI Everyone, Non-Owner April 2, 2016 reservation owner who is estimated to get my Model 3 sometime between June to August. I am not going to lie...I have been jealous of current owners who already have their Model 3s and people who have seen it in person. It has been a long tough wait to the...

Just wanted to get an idea on how long people plan on keeping their Model 3s. I usually keep my cars for as long as possible. I am hoping I can keep the Model 3 for more than 10 years.

I was wanting to purchase my Model 3 with the 19" sport wheels as I think they look very nice (would have liked to see them come in gloss black) but having read a lot of posts from people stating all the positives about the 18" wheels versus the 19" wheels, I started searching various website to...

Hi All, Hope all is well. I have a question about powder coating and was hoping someone with knowledge can answer my question. I plan on getting the 19'' wheels and was wanting to get them powder coated a nice gloss (or semi-gloss) black to look like my avatar picture. My question is, does...

This evening my wife and I made our second model 3 reservation!!! This one will be for her. She simply wants the base range and black exterior. The only option she wants it AWD. Expected delivery is late 2018...can't wait!! Bye bye gas stations!! :)

Hello Everyone, Just wanted to get an idea on how many people do not plan on getting Enhanced Auto Pilot when they get their Model 3. I have been going back and forth on this. Sometimes I think I want to get it now and other times I think that I should just save my money. My wife and I do...

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to get an idea of how many of you are planning to get or have thought about getting a dash cam for your model 3s. This will be my most expensive car I have ever owned and plan on having it for years. I want to protect it from the crazies out there. Does anyone have...

Hello Everyone, I had a question on window tint. I was wanting to get my windows tinted once I get my Model 3 but was wondering how the back window would be handled. In a normal (non-all glass room car), you can have the same window tint for all the windows of your car (not counting the...

Hello Everyone, Hope all is well with everyone. I am just writing this post to see if there are any others that have the same thought process as I do. I was originally going to get AWD as one of my must have options, but after looking at the estimator of the Tesla website, reading this forum...

Hello Everyone, I plan on getting the premium package when it is my turn to configure my Model 3, but I do have a question about this package. I know currently, it comes with the default black vegan seats and I know white is coming later this fall. With the premium package, does that...

looks like Tesla is preparing their website to streamline the ordering process of the Model 3 by trying it out on the Model S and X.

I just can't wait for the final reveal. All this speculation on the option the Model 3 will or won't have and their cost is driving me crazy lol. I get excited one minute (rumor of the 60kwh base battery and a 75kwh upgrade) then I get sad the next (possible glass roof as an option and not...

Hello Everyone, Hope everyone is going well. I had a question I was hoping I could get some insight for from all of you. About a week and a half ago, my wife and I went on a Model S test drive. We drove in a P90D with 21 inch wheels. I loved the car and was surprised at how comfortable and...

Hello Everyone, Just wanting to see if anyone knows how we would know if we qualify for the tax credit when purchasing the Model 3. When we are able to configure our cars, will Tesla let us know that we qualify for the tax credit (the full $7,500 or less)? I just trying to get an idea of how...

Hello Everyone, I just wanted to get an idea of what you all are thinking about getting with regards to wheel sizes assuming the sizes are 18s or 20s. I was really leaning towards the 18s, but I also want black/dark rims and I have a feeling that those will only come in 20s so I think that may...

Hi Everyone, I am really interested in the darker colored rims that come as an upgrade on the Model S. I am assuming that the same type of set up will be available for the Model 3...silver for the 18 inch rims, but a rather large price hike for the darker rims but only on the 20s. Anyone...

Hi Everyone, Since we (at least most of us) still have several months before we get our Model 3s, I was wondering if anyone has a white Tesla Model S and if so, what kinda if white is it? What I mean by that, is it a Porsche/Audi white which I think is a really nice snow white or just a plain...

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to get some thoughts on the white leather seats. Anyone going to get them if they are an option for the Model 3? I am liking them very much, but am a little concerned/worried about them getting dirty rather easily even though Tesla states that it is pretty stain...

Hello Everyone, Hope you all are doing well. I had a question on what is the process of buying a Tesla as I have never owned one. How does it all work? I have obviously reserved my model 3, so would the next step be to wait to configure my car? Then set up my garage with a NEMA 14-50, then get...

Hello Everyone, I am a current Tesla Model 3 reservation holder and can't wait to receive my car. While I wait, I have also been looking for a fun weekend car; something that I can enjoy with my wife...like a coupe or convertible. I was looking for a used porsche cayman or boxster, SLK, or...

Hello Everyone, Wanted to get everyone's opinion on the cold weather package. Is there a need for this package since you can pre-heat the car through your cell phone? I ask because I live in Southwestern PA and our winters can get pretty bad. I was thinking about getting the cold weather...

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to get an idea of how many of you will pass on getting enhanced auto-pilot and full service driving. I have been conflicted on this since it was announced a week or so ago. At first I was thinking I was going to get the enhanced auto pilot, but now, I think I may...

Hello All, Quick question on the battery. I have heard and read that when charging your Tesla, it is best to charge to about 80% (or anything other than 100%) to preserve your battery. My question is, what if you were to get the base battery for the Model 3 (say 40kWh) which gets you the "at...

Hi Everyone, Just have a question hoping someone may be able to give me some clarity on. It is well known or said that darker colored interiors get hotter than lighter colored interiors, but does anyone know if this is actually true or how much of a difference is it? I ask because I like the...

Hi Everyone, Anyone thinking about getting any protection for the paint of their new model 3? I have heard that XPEL and Opti Coat are good options. Anyone have experience with either of these products? Is one better than the other? What about the costs of these products? Thank You, Puneet

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to get an idea how many of you will be getting the base battery that will achieve at least 215 mile per charge. Thank You, Kal

Hello Everyone, I was just wanting to see how many Model 3 reservation holders plan on purchasing the pre-paid maintenance and were thinking about getting the extended warranty? Are either one a good idea to purchase? Thanks, Kal
