    How good of a deal is Performance AWD for 50k

    So the local one has a number of cars without the visible performance elements. Standard 18 wheels, red brakes, etc. However these are performance models that are not used and have not been demo cars. So my choice is performance for 50.9k (non white) AWD 48.9k (non white) RWD 45.9k

    Tesla will not adjust LR RWD price after drop

    So this is very disappointing. All the prices dropped, I don't even have a VIN yet, but they will not change the price since its an off menu item. Of course when I ordered I was told two weeks and its been about two already. This is very disappointing as my last model 3 was totaled. I can...

    How likely is an upcoming price change?

    So Tesla immediately dropped the price after the full tax credit was no longer available. I'm wondering how likely is a price drop at this point now that the credit is even lower.

    How to properly value used Model 3 with past damage?

    So unfortunately my car was hit again and this time it is quite serious. A (likely) drunk driver plowed into a series of parked cars. The first point of impact at high speed was my Model 3. The good news, let me tell you, the car is quite safe. The passenger compartment is undisturbed in any way...

    How does Roof Rack hold up in the long run?

    I know long run is relative, but there are probably some people that have had one for 8 months or more ? I know the clips have been improved since the initial version. Any reliability issues? Any significant impact on efficiency (that would make you consider removing it, except for trips ?)...

    Required to turn off mobile access by Tesla Body Shop?

    This is my second time at a body shop, but the first time that I've been asked by anyone to turn off mobile access from the car. It appears to be a new policy from Tesla with their certified shops although not all are following it. Seems like they had some issues with people messing with the...

    City Council Candidate hits Model 3, then flees scene

    I think this demonstrates the capabilities of the dashcam pretty well. If it was any other car, he would have gotten away with it completely. Here is more information on the winner who wears his candidate pin while leaving the scene. Brady Challenger in Philly — Year Out of Prison — Wants...

    BumpTek protection for Model 3?

    Has anyone installed this bumper protector? https://www.amazon.com/BumpTek-RP-53-Bumper-EUROPE-Protection/dp/B00DEJUYBE I'm generally wary of anything that goes on with adhesive, but I saw this on another black Model 3 in the city and it looked great and fit like an OEM product. Has anyone...

    Rear window defog died in time for winter, anyone else?

    Mine suddenly stopped working over the last few days. I tried a reboot and no apparent change. Since its only evident during rain or snow I'm not completely sure if its working today or not. The only evidence is that there is no distortion through the rear window, so I assume it doesn't work...

    possibly 3 months to get a bumper!! is there some way to speed up this mess?

    So long story short.. instead of pulling away from me at the light, the car in front (to my left) decided to reverse on an angle and took out the corner of my bumper. Luckily no one was hurt, car is drivable, their insurance accepted full responsibility (possibly with he help of dashcam video)...

    No body shops in Philly area? Recommendations?

Completely demolished the corner of my bumper, huge dent, everything around the headlight is off.. They were on such an angle that the camera...

    Best charger/adapter for charging Bolt on 14-50 (where I charge my Tesla)

    So I have a curbside 14-50 outlet on a post and use the mobile connector to charge when I need to. One of my new neighbors has a Bolt and no place to charge. They currently go across the city to the lone CCS combo fast charge point that takes about 4 hours. (Now thats dedication to EV...

    backup camera issue with v9

    When I initially got my car 4 months ago, there was a noticeable delay in the backup camera turning on when I shifted to reverse. Shortly after this was fixed by a software update and has been mostly fine since. Since v9 the delay appears to be back and as of today the camera is just not...

    spotty wifi vs decent 4g possible impacts?

    My car is a good deal outside the house and to get v9 I temporarily relocated router and put the car on wifi. I got the update within a few hours, so that part worked very well. However since then when I first get into the car, everything that uses internet(especially streaming radio) has...

    Delaying or extending autopilot trial.

    So yesterday the autopilot trial started and tomorrow I have a service appointment. There is a chance that the service will take the rest of the trial duration. I'm wondering if anyone has been able to extend their trial if the car was in service at the time. I've been waiting for a while for...

    Slightly OT: Charger interference with data over powerline from solar inverters?

    This may nor may not be related to my Tesla, but my solar installer seems to think its a possibility. I have solar panels with microinverters that communicate over the powerlines to a central enphase envoy monitoring device. Recently they seem to have issues with the signal and although the...

    Commonly missed issues, what to check?

    So our car will be going back to the service center to address a couple issues in the near term. Some door insulation seems to be scuffing the paint, the cloth trim on one of the pillars is coming off, a few minor things. I have a list, but now I'm wondering if there is anything that I could be...

    Only a month in and someone does this ... argh.. city parking...

    Looks like someone scraped my bumper after trying to park and ran off. Most of the residue came off.. but definitely scraped off a bunch of paint :( I wonder if PPF would have been enough protection against something like this. We didn't end up getting it, but might need to rethink that.

    Mobile connector at 230v, 28mi/hr? voltage drop or normal?

    So we've had the car for over a month, but used a 110 or other chargers until now. My electrician just installed the 14-50 outlet and the car seems to be charging normally. The app is showing 28 miles per hour at 230v at 32amp. So it appears about normal, but not the 'ideal' 30 miles per...

    unusual outlet for EV charging, what do I need here?

    So my wife's work has a bunch of dedicated EV spots and most of them just have a regular 110v. One spot seems to have this 220 setup which would be great. It looks like a 6-20 adapter, but the middle comes out quite a bit. Is there some sort of custom adapter that is needed here? I know...

    Paint protection and City Parking

    I just picked up my new Model 3 today and and have had the Tesla grin non stop while driving. I was thinking about PPF but I'm not sure if its really worth it in the city. I've read most of the threads on here and and while it will definitely protect from bugs and minor road debris, I'm not...

    Bank Teller: "This is my favorite transaction ever!"

    I'm excited to be picking up the car tomorrow. I got the cashiers' check today and the bank teller was more excited than me. He's like "I know this is weird for a teller to say, but this is my favorite transaction ever! I love Tesla and Musk, I follow all the news on them"

    Roadside Service and replacement car while under repairs?

    My delivery is in about a month and now I'm looking at insurance options. I've generally had rental coverage through insurance and roadside assistance through AAA. How would this work with a model 3 and is it automatically included from Tesla? Since there are no non-Tesla shops that would...
