    Driver seat can move so far forward where it can crush the headrest and shatter vanity mirror

    I was a bit surprised this is possible. A bit hilarious as well. We were picking up our Model 3 for some issues after delivery and I tried to move the driver seat back since it was moved all the way forward, but it wouldn't move. Then I noticed the headrest was jammed into the visor. I had...

    Model 3 Performance Stealth lease ending July - struggling to decide on next car

    So I've loved every minute of our Model 3 stealth (our 3rd Tesla) but with Covid changes that have happened, I work remote now, so we went down to 1 car. With that, our next car I'd like to be a bit more versatile. I have a reservation on Cybertruck as well as a Rivian. But I don't think...

    Just completed ~1400 mile trip: San Diego > Grand Canyon > Antelope Canyon > Las Vegas > San Diego

    Finally did our first long road trip and I thought I would hate it, based on shorter trips such as San Diego to Phoenix, but it wasn't nearly as bad as we thought it would be. We had 5 people packed in the car, truck completely stuffed with bags, food, water, etc. I didn't put my aero hub caps...

    Rock chip on side window

    Thanks to dashcam including side cameras, I was able to calm down (plus the fact that it didn't hit paint). I thought someone threw a rock at my car because i heard a loud ping when I came to a stop at a light. I thought maybe it was the cyclists. Turns out, it's a freak coincidence that one...

    Has anyone bought RPM Tesla's black dual motor badge?

    DUAL MOTOR Badges - Black or Chrome With Stripe (Only $29 with 20% Off) I plasti-dipped mine but after many car washes (brushless of course), a few letters stripped off. I don't know if I want to deal with painting them over and over and would rather just replace the badge with black ones...

    Replacement Anti-Abrasion tape for roof rack

    Does anyone know where to get this? Service Center/Parts desk was not helpful. He said he thinks they don't sell it. I just sold my MR to upgrade to P3D- and transferring my rack over but I couldn't salvage that tape, it basically gets ruined when you try to pull it off. So I want to get a...

    Slight shudder in 'drivetrain' at very low speeds

    I was wondering if anyone else gets this behavior in their Model 3. I never felt this in my Model S or any loaners. When you're barely moving, like when backing in to my garage, or on a very slight incline, and just slowly rolling, you feel the car shudder and the car will shake slightly. But...

    PPF proper installation question - not wrapped around edges is normal?

    A friend of mine was complaining about getting the white car PPF wrapped because the wrap doesn't wrap around body panels but is cut just before the end of the panels. This causes black lines after a while from dirt and sucks out like a sore thumb on a white car. I didn't think this is how it's...

    Not enough buyers for the LR Model 3's

    Anyone see this article? Any thoughts on it? I am not surprised if it's true but curious how credible it is. I'm selfishly hoping this is true so that the SR or Leasing becomes available sooner - even if the SR or leasing is not good for revenue numbers, if not enough people are buying the LR...

    Rear parking sensors intermittently do not work

    I see there was firmware updates in the past that broke the front sensors but for me, for quite some time now, my rear parking sensors will not work...but only occasionally. And when it refuses to work, it just won't work period. See the video here: Neither the chimes nor the proximity...

    Smart Plates

    I just saw this news article for us in CA. One of the things that really annoy me is that we have to put on these UGLY HOV stickers to access carpool lanes. I have never put mine on. Arizona does plates, but this takes it whole step further. You can have HOV access shown on the plates and...

    Long wait times for SC to get parts for repair

    I was just curious if other areas are seeing this type of issue? I have been waiting since 1/9 for a new windshield and driver seat. My windshield leaks when it rains or going through a car wash and my driver seat hinge is falling apart, causing the seat to rock when you accelerate/brake...

    Saw a matte white Model 3 at San Diego Service Center - note on the possible 'roof rack points'

    I was dropping my car off for service and of course, it was the one time I left my cell phone at home so I couldn't take pictures. VIN was 086. Service advisor told me it was a customer's car but must be employee or relative of employee due to the low VIN? In either case, I was excited to see...

    Odd behavior: high beam flash on exit of car & miles left increase after entering car

    Has anyone seen these two things occur? I don't know if it was after the most recent update but: 1. After I park and start to get out of the car, the high beams flash once. The first few times, I thought I must have bumped the headlight stalk, but I noticed it happens every time I park and get...

    Applications keep opening in panes OTHER than maps on 8.0

    I was wondering if this is a setting or if everyone else has this issue. My driving habits have always been to drive with the upper pan switching between maps/music/etc, while I keep the bottom pane as the rear view camera. I use that in place of my rear view mirror for the most part...
