Your quote about marketing got me thinking a bit. Sure enough after seeing the vehicle on stage and then lookin through all the pictures released of the truck, there is not a hint of Tesla branding anywhere. No ‘T’ on the front, no ‘TESLA’ badging across the rear, nothing on the interior...

The key to get it to show the P consistently is to hug the side you want to park on closer than you normally would. If you drive in the center of the lane like most of us do in a parking lot, the ultrasonic sensors are too far away to detect the other cars. Then, as others said, drive slowly...

You can try calling the main Tesla assistance number. Friend of mine had the same issue after delivery and they were able to remotely reset something over the air. Was working about 5 miles later.

Just wanted to mention that there shouldn’t be a problem charging all the way up to 100% if needed. Might be a good idea the first few times you make your commute to feel out the range. Prevailing wisdom is that harm to the battery comes from charging to 100, then leaving it there for long...

Left my Model 3 at the airport for a few days with sentry mode on and noted the energy consumption. Was gone a total of 56 hours and lost 62 miles of range, so slightly more than 1 mi/hr loss seems to be in the ballpark. Temperature was in the 40-65 F range, shaded, P3D.

I absolutely love my P+. That being said, since you’re in Chicago don’t forget to budget for the tire situation. The 3P comes with summer compound sticky sport stuff. Great for performance, but you probably don’t want to be buzzing around a Chicago winter with those. I don’t want to dissuade you...

Really sucks it has become such an epidemic there. As someone else said it will continue to be an issue until the powers at be or the citizens decide to make stopping it a priority. In the interim, I wonder if tint film would provide better protection, holding the glass together to prevent an...

Yup, the quick math shows almost everyone should be better off taking the $5000 refund. (Assuming that actually comes to fruition) Using CA rates and a 75 kw battery it’s just over 256 full charge cycles. In the cheaper states a rough estimate is around 550 full cycles. (60 mins charge time X...

P3D+, supercharged the other day. 303 miles@98%. Interpolates to around 310 @100%. Lifetime wh/mi is a little less than 300, but lots of “fun” driving in there. Drove “normal” the other day and got in the 260 wh/mi neighborhood. So it would probably take some careful driving to turn a full...

I know it sounds simple, but make sure it’s turned on in the settings. Sometimes updates or changing driver profiles resets it.

Ahh, did not realize the Aeros had grey under them. Should make it easier to find some good views. Thanks.

Anyone got a picture of a black Model 3 with grey wheels (exposed, not the aero caps)? Thinking of picking up an extra set of tsportline wheels for when the cooler temps kick in. Either black or grey. There are lots of pictures of black/black combos, so far I’m about 20 pages into the...

Just checked my P3D+. Sticker stated “pc31 performance chassis” Now that I think about it, I think someone mentioned somewhere that the 20” wheels needed an additional part change. Control arms maybe? If so it could be Tesla’s code to include those on the P3D+, while the P3D- gets the...

Took delivery today of my Obsidian black. Did a double delivery with my neighbor who picked up a solid black. We took the chance to do a few side by side pictures. Was a bit cloudy, real hard to tell the difference from more than a few feet away. We will try to do a few more photos on the...

Sounds like we might. But I’ll be a TX delivery, so I’m sure you’ll be driving around a few weeks sooner!

Yup, Checked mine earlier today was “Oct ‘18-Dec ‘18.” Changed to “by Oct.”. P3D+, OBM, Black interior, EAP.

Had a similar issue. Problem was a sticky door handle. Someone would open the door, the force of pulling on the handle would put it slightly out of alignment. The handle then would not be able to retract. The next time the handles would auto-present the extended handle would trip the...

Not to get too far off topic, but I had the same problem. Solution--try driving closer to the side you want to park. Driving in the center of the parking lane like most of us do is too far for the ultrasonic sensors to "see" the empty spot. Cheating closer to the parking spots puts the cars in...

I charge to 85% and get 214 miles consistently, so 213 @ 90% seems low. Be aware that Tesla's have about 3% of "slop" and do not maintain the max charge at all times. If you get unlucky and have only seen the vehicle at the low point, that may account for a bit of the discrepancy. For...

A couple thoughts from a current Model S owner w/ glass roof option, I assume the Model 3 is similar: 1. It does stay remarkably cool for a roof made of glass, even in direct sunlight. 2. The A/C compressor is electric and remarkably effective, cools a hot car much quicker than an ICE. 3...

Yes it can be polished. Give your Service Center a call and ask what they use. When I took delivery there was a few minor scratches on the center console. While we were filling out the paperwork a tech came out with a tube of some kind of polishing compound an rubbed them out in a matter of...

I have noticed this as well and just assumed it is normal behavior. Our Mercedes does the same thing, but the indicators actually change. A few minutes on "3" then it drops to "2" after awhile and finally to "1". FWIW, Sept 2017 build 75D running .50, textile seats

Mehlville is showing 2018, but there is a downtown location listed as opening in 2017. Maybe one of those new urban superchargers?

Had this problem a few updates ago. Called support, they had me reset a few times and drive around...no help so they put me in the cue for a service center visit. Went into a store after the call, came back about 30 minutes later and everything was working again.

Just got 2017.42. AEB up to 90 MPH (AP 2.5) and mirrors can stay folded up to 30 MPH were the only changes in the notes.

It sounds like if you want to save money, you could easily stick with the glass roof and be happy (barring the roof rack/XM issues mentioned above). If you like the moonroof for viewing more than air you will love, love, love the glass roof option. The seamless openness is unbelievable. I'm a...

Double check to make sure it is on for each profile. Every time I created a new driver profile it defaulted auto lane change within that profile to off.

Hey Buster, one last thing...if you haven't started looking at charging options now is a good time to find an electrician and have things ready to go.

I recall reading somewhere that the car must be in drive for them to work. Maybe try having someone hold the brakes and turn the wheel while you inspect from the outside.

Congrats! As to what happens next...after the order is confirmed, a Delivery Specialist will be assigned to you. His/her contract info will show up in your my tesla account, and most likely they will get in touch soon. When they do they might be able to give you some more details on a scheduled...

You could always order now and set your preferred delivery date to December. That way you are in the que and should be able to take delivery before the new year and also get any newly announced changes. You would also have the option to change to an inventory car during that timeframe if a...

Only EAP.

Keep checking. Mine changed from AHP2 to AHP3 about a week ago. Order confirmed Aug. 4.

Well looks like I spoke too soon. 75D 8/4 confirmed, into production today.

Anyone have production start the last few days? Posts on here had some late July and a 2 Aug confirmed dates go into production last Fri. My 75D was confirmed 7/4, so I figured I would see it in production over the weekend or Monday, which jived with the dates my DS estimated. But nothing yet...

I had similar concerns over the textile seats. I like leather, wifey was pushing for textile. Luckily, I was able to visit a gallery that had both before my change window closed. Like everyone else I was extremely impressed with the fabric, less so with the leather. They definitely feel like a...

Taking delivery by the end of September is an interesting caveat. I ordered the very end of July (before the financing deal was announced), my delivery is showing Sept-early Oct. This means that if the delivery timeline is correct (I know, I know) there would be almost no chance of ordering a...

Hi all, first post. Just placed an order for a Model S 75D after holding a Model 3 reservation since day 1. After reviewing the Model 3 specs and price, coupled with the recent improvements to the 75 performance I decided that the S was a better fit. First of all let me say I was biased...
