So interestingly, I placed an order and got a trade in offer of $22900 for my existing Model 3 Performance. Had already clicked accept but then I got a text saying that my trade in value had increased and if I took delivery before 3/31 I could get the new value? But when I called Tesla they...

Thanks for writing this up, I’m going to take a look at my blower myself today. Started hearing some clicking a couple of days ago and now there’s a burning plastic type of smell after we drive. Maybe the motor is going bad but I wanna rule out debris.

My friend was so pissed about this he actually filmed a podcast talking about it 🤣 Almost got tempted by the $7500 credit in December myself but I had suspicions that they'd pull some stunt in Q1.

It’s averaged over all the miles you drive so if that happens once it’s not a big deal. You just can’t consistently be doing worse than everyone else on these parameters. If someone really regularly swerves over five lanes without signaling they probably do a lot of other garbage driving. I...

Just with him saying 10 or above we already know it's not happening until at least 2022. Realistically next year he'll say something like how unexpected X or Y means we have to wait for the brand new architecture in V11. Rinse and repeat until about 2035 when it'll finally be feasible. Honestly...

Honestly, these Bitcoin antics that Elon has me looking at alternatives. I was going to trade my 3 for a Y next month but having Elon literally pumping and dumping Bitcoin and screwing with people's finances like this is ridiculous. He's literally hurting his actual customers now.

Tesla didn’t honor the signed agreements for the recent Model S and X refresh with price hikes so they haven’t been doing that anymore even for cars. My theory is that they just can’t produce anywhere near enough solar roofs and have bizarrely chosen this huge price hike as a way to force...

Why would Tesla customer service respond to this? Talk to your insurance comany.

They yanked a bunch of inventory off the website after the Q1 push was over, they were still available even on 3/31 but they basically wiped them from public view. Some inventory cars do still exist that the sales associates can see but they don't seem to be the same cars that were there on the...

While 50% would be optimal it's not particularly harmful to have batteries sit around at 60-70% and it'd be a lot more convenient to have a little extra charge if you actually wanna go for a drive. If you have a performance model also remember that the horsepower will drop a lot once it's under...

I have to wonder if this has anything to do with Panasonic upgrading the 2170 production lines this month at GF1. Probably won't have a lot of battery output while they're upgrading the lines to produce the slightly denser new cells. So by the time they restart cell production and Tesla restarts...

I really have to wonder if the 7 seater will use this updated platform somehow.

Yeah that's atrocious quality, I would have returned it as well. There's no reason to have a brand new car that's already had serious body/paintwork just to be acceptable. If they want to sell those cars that's fine but it should be at a pretty steep discount with disclosures.

Honestly I never feel like I have enough range on my car so it'd have to be 19's for me. I do charge at work only 1-2x a week though since it's free. I suppose if you charged at home it'd make less of a difference but I really think the range isn't quite what I'd like for the road trips we do...

It's a brand new $60K car but most of that money went into the powertrain and autopilot system so expecting the same fit and finish as a $60K car where more of the money went into perfect fit and finish and a pretty interior doesn't make any sense. There are no other $60K EV crossovers that do...

Honestly the only thing that might be a real issue is the sealing around the windshield-would definitely want to check that it's waterproof. Otherwise it's standard Tesla grade fitment. Expecting the fit to be significantly better than this is honestly not realistic, you're buying a Tesla not a...

So they still haven't managed to get lift time to actually physically inspect the car after the car's been at the service center for a week now. I think the car is in a tow/diagnostics mode which seems to be draining the battery somewhat more aggressively so I'm a little worried it's going to...

So a little bit of an update. Service center reached out yesterday, but the main news was that they’re so backlogged they couldn’t look at my car to formally diagnose it yet. So they won’t really have a formal diagnosis until likely Thursday. They did offer more Uber credits in the meantime and...

Yeah, it is pretty strange that it just suddenly went out when we weren't even using the motor. Honestly very mysterious but I'm assuming whatever caused the failure was causing other components to not function right given the weird navigate on autopilot messages I was getting. Apparently...

Well, I didn't think it would happen to me even after hearing about this happen to other folks on here, but the rear motor in my car just seppuku'd while we were out of town on what was supposed to be a little bit of a weekend road trip. It's a P3D with <10000 miles on it. Decided to take the...

Maybe in theory certain failures may allow this but my rear just went out and the car basically refuses to drive even though one of the messages says ok to drive.

Yes, we should all go and buy new phones because of a Tesla bluetooth glitch when literally every single other Bluetooth device in the entire world works fine with the phone, including numerous other cars I owned and even $20 add on bluetooth mics. Give me a break, this shouldn't be broken on...

Is this for the tires or tires plus wheels? Your title says wheels but the post says tires

Still broken on stock OP6 here, surprised that srs5694 got it working on the 5T, I wonder if there are actual driver/hardware differences. Honestly starting to get pretty frustrated about this, it seems ridiculous to have to buy your phone to match your car with as something as basic as a phone...

So yeah, this definitely completely broke in 12.1.1 for me-complete with complete media center blackouts if the phone was on a phone call when I entered the car. 12.1.2 seemed to fix the center console crash but the phone function stayed totally broken and the only thing that unpairing and...

Just had the car start to skid on me too in a turn going the speed limit. Same sort of situation, was in the rain. But I'm almost sure it was triggered by the regenerative braking system because the skid started when my wife whined about me going the speed limit in the rain-which caused me to...

Their CPO warranty is actually a little worse than your ESA since it'll expire after just 2 years whereas yours was good until 2021. Same mileage though (expires at 100K). Only the cars under 50K can get the 4 year CPO warranty. I'm curious how much Tesla will sell this for, their listing...

It's gonna be a tough sell at this price. They have new inventory M3's you can buy immediately where they'll also throw in a year of free supercharging on, and you'd qualify for both the federal and state tax rebates. At least where I live that's $9500 off the MSRP, plus the free year of...

Honestly divorces tend to take quite some time to go through so you're almost certainly going to be filing as a married couple this year anyways. This would all go much easier if you amicably settle things with your soon to be ex-spouse, it'd also make everything a lot cheaper. Obviously that is...

Might have to do with the fact that the asking price is $6K higher than what Tesla asks for a more loaded CPO: Inventory Search | Tesla That car has the pano roof and the air suspension, cold weather package, and 21" turbines as well as the carbon fiber stuff and it has similar mileage so...

Surely you can see why it's going to be difficult to sell a car with a lemon branded title that you can't obtain an extended warranty on. The person buying your car is going to have just as hard of a time selling it as you are so you're either going to have to price this very aggressively or...

Whoa now, this is an extremely unsafe way to jump a vehicle and can lead to a dangerous explosion of the lead acid battery due to hydrogen off-gassing and you really don't want an exploding lead acid battery for very self evident reasons. You should connect the black jumper cable from the...

The last car I sold off I owned until it was worth <1% of our household income since I drove it for 14 years. Finally decided it was time to stop being a cheapo and still drive this ancient thing, so the Model 3 is replacing it.

Well, I actually voted 6-10 but I was ignoring growth in the value of my investments that haven't been realized, if I counted both investment and employment income this last year has been such a good year I'd have to put 1. But mostly I work as a physician and live pretty frugally and put my...

Glad to see that there are a bunch of other cheapos like myself who are being relatively frugal with the 3.

I'm not sure what car you own but both my ICE vehicles can outdo their EPA rating cruising the highway at 75mpg-I have a Camry and a Passat and both easily exceed the EPA rating. What cars are you driving that struggle with the EPA highway rating? That's with the AC going too in the summer and...

Yeah, I've been poring through the new CPO listings and there's a surprising number of 2014's for under $50K, it seems like only the cars with AP1 and optimally the ones with AWD have managed to keep more of their resale value. Anybody who has a 2014 or older without AP1 just took a big hit on...
