    Michelin Pilot Sport 4S

    I’ve had both in 18”. The foam works but it’s more as if it’s damping some frequencies not all, if you will. The PS4S set I got last Spring was due to the PS4 was long delay back order only. The 4S has a bit better steering response and grip. So there’s your tradeoff. BTW, I have a Winter set...

    Pirelli Pzero Summer tires on wet grass/muddy field?

    Temps above 40-50 degrees F? You’ll be fine.

    Service appointment - Paramus NJ - self check in?

    Hi, I’m in Virginia but just had a self checkin appointment in Sterling, VA. Easy and smooth. I parked where there was signage for appointments (actually close to it due to the designated spots being temporarily full) and let them know via the app I was there. Service communicated back and also...

    My Tesla P3D Experience...

    Is your HPWC on a 48A circuit (60A breaker)? Mine is and my P3D is charging at 44-45mph (at 241-244V). Perhaps yours is set for 40A?

    I Think The Charging Port On My Brand New Model 3 Is Defective?

    Hopefully they can get you fixed up quickly, perhaps via mobile ranger. If it were me, I wouldn’t be afraid of pulling the emergency release once or twice more instead of struggling to remove the plug. Plus maybe you have or can charge up for the week and won’t need to charge again before they...

    Set of 4 Michelin Primacy MXM4 235/45R18 tires in Northern Virginia $550

    Having sold 3 of 4, I’ve decided to keep the last one as a spare. So this thread is closed!

    Set of 4 Michelin Primacy MXM4 235/45R18 tires in Northern Virginia $550

    Sold one and the last one is available $137.50 OBO! Would still prefer a local sale (e.g., meet at a DC/MD/VA Supercharger? Or somewhere mutually convenient) or we can check if shipping is reasonable.

    Willing to consider if some want to buy 1 or 2 tires for spares, or if you need tires due to getting a flat.

    Set of 4 Michelin Primacy MXM4 235/45R18 tires in Northern Virginia $550

    I put Winter tires on my 18” Aero wheels in mid-December for the season and vacation travel. I’ve now decided to get a second set of wheels with Summer tires in the Spring so selling my original Michelin Primacy MXM4 18” 235/45 tires with 1927.6 miles on them (mileage when Tesla Tysons did the...

    Probably a stupid question about charging

    Yes, you’re correct! Thanks.

    Probably a stupid question about charging

    Hi, I have seen a “mile” drop a day when parked & plugged in in my garage at similar temps and have seen others report similar. And that it takes 3 - 5 miles drop before the Battery Management System decides to top up. Maybe better to think of it in battery percentage... 1 - 2 % drop will cause...

    Performance Upgrade Price Change!

    +1 (or +2 as it were).
  21. EValuatED

    To Performance or not to performance... AWD? P? I can't decide!

    Yes, all contracts for new vehicles (and postings about them that I’ve seen) drawn up ahead of time say 50 miles, as was mine. My car had 5 miles on the odometer when delivered.

    Anybody got a follow up after text?

    Yep same here... “Thank you for confirming your availability. We are unable to schedule your delivery this weekend. We sincerely apologize for this, but will reach out as soon as your car becomes available.”
  23. EValuatED

    Anybody got a follow up after text?

    Yes. Many hours later. I replied via text and later called and was routed by a customer service rep to the delivery folks, ending up leaving a vmail, with the CS rep on the line with with me. Later, whether prompted by my text reply this morning, or, my vmail: "Thank you for confirming your...

    Regarding Portable Charging Options...

    Agree. I’ve witnessed one start to go with a 12A of load running. Fortunately I smelled something, hunted it down, shut off the load and replaced the receptacle.

    Tysons Corner, VA (AWD) Waiting Room

    I think it’s the Silver and Obsidian Black that are going to be special order soon. If it were me, I’d want the car I ordered and would wait 3 weeks. Check the forums (TMC, M3OC), a number of folks had minor to significant paint issues. The 3 weeks is probably due to backlog, not necessarily...

    Tysons Corner, VA (AWD) Waiting Room

    Still awaiting the call... though I did mod my order in August. And apparently Silver is not a popular color.

    Online configurator preview

    From what I’ve read here and elsewhere Tesla offers you a trade in amount — and may match a trade in offer from Carmax — and may use a third party to dispose of trades, with exception of Tesla trade ins.

    Online configurator preview

    My thanks also! One suggestion, maybe use $4K as an estimate for AWD? Elon tweeted a while ago that AWD on the M3 would be less than on the MS. Edit: And add $3K or something for SAS option?

    Pictures of production Model 3s

    Agree and observations: Euro cars in Europe are often model badgeless (though you can sometimes distinguish by wheels or trim elements) and the kids (I get to say that now being a grandad) sometimes remove badging from their cars. So no badging on the Model 3 perhaps not really surprising for...

    Pictures of production Model 3s

    I've worked for a few manufacturers and it's not uncommon for employees to be proud of the new product they're building. And to buy it.

    Model 3 specs

    Haha! But actually you can see this sort of high power when trying to heat up a frigid car -- reduces after a while -- but when it's trying to get up to where you've set the temp I've seen a 5kW+ increase in consumption with my Volt. Googled for Tesla and found this (InsideEVs article) showing...

    Model 3 Center Display

    And I think we're all more used to glancing over to the center than we realize (Nav screens or Smartphones) -- it remains to be seen how the masses react, and will of course be a "preference" item for a while -- but my opinion is that it will not be a long term inhibitor to acceptance of this...

    S75D inventory purchase or custom order?

    Leaving the MS100. Unless they slot a model below it (greater than 75, maybe 80 or 85)?

    Good question as the M3 scroll buttons look different from the MS ones!

    Will M3 be released as MY 2017 or 2018?

    Pictures of production Model 3s

    Doesn't seem to have been any lately... presume they're still hiding under the aeros... though some on the forums are saying the 18" alloys didn't make the cut for production.

    Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!

    It would also mean we're not as far back in the line as we might have thought!

    "Handover party for first 30 customer Model 3's on (July) 28th!"

    Agree. But if Apple, Sony, Microsoft, or other where making a new car, they might well do what Tesla is doing now!

    "Smarter" robots

    I've thoroughly enjoyed your recent posts. I understand where the mod was coming from in general, but personally didn't see you crossing the line, imho. I work for a company that provides, among other things, design, modeling & simulation, and manufacturing control software. So I've occasionally...
