    Need opinion from those who upgraded to refresh model

    I'm a current model 3 owner looking to purchase a model x. I'm debating between a 2020 or 2022 refresh. Saw someone on Youtube mention the refresh interior is significantly better when it comes to build quality. Is this true? In your opinion, is the interior that big of an upgrade? Thank you.

    Do they use seat covers at service center?

    I have white seats and I usually use my own seat covers when I take the car in for service but I misplaced them somewhere. Do they provide their own covers at the service centers?

    Sentry mode only activates with door handles pulled

    I haven't used sentry mode in a long time, but with a recent influx in break-ins at my apartment complex I want to start using it again. I tested it out today and it was only activating when I pulled on the door handles. Previously it would activate whenever someone got near the vehicle. Did...

    Jowua Wireless Charger

    Wireless Charger with DashCam & Sentry Mode for Tesla I like the discrete location of the SD card for Dashcam/Sentry mode. If I didn't already have the Jeda charger I would've gotten this one.

    Did AP follow distance change with update?

    I usually set the follow distance in Auto Pilot to 3. But now I use 1 or 2. This is driving around speed limit (65-75mph). It seems like it got less aggressive? I don’t know....perhaps it’s just me? Anyone notice this as well? I kinda notice this as well in stop and go traffic. Set at 1, the car...

    If you had to go back to ICE, what would you choose?

    To my fellow EV converts, if you had to sell your Tesla and buy an ICE vehicle, what would you choose? It's hard for me to imagine going back to ICE, but if I had to, these cars would be at the top of my list: C8 Corvette Audi RS5 Lexus LC500 Note: It should be realistic and attainable i.e...

    Who sings those Caraoke songs?

    Some of them are just downright awful. I wonder if Tesla pulled employees from their own team to record these tracks? Carol from HR, Greg from accounting, ect? I know budget is tight but sheesh... But seriously, who are these people and how does Tesla decide which songs to add? Is there a place...

    New Unplugged Performance front fascia?

    Apparently Unplugged Performance is coming out with a new front fascia for the Model 3. Saw it on Youtuber DAErik's recent video. At first glance it looked like their Ascension front fascia.

    Creaking noise over speed bumps

    Just noticed a creaking noise coming from driver side during low speeds and it gets really loud when going over speed bumps. I can't tell if it's the front or rear. I'm guessing it has to do with the suspension? I did get UP coilovers installed a few months ago but I'm not sure if that's the...

    Will sentry mode sound alarm if wheels are being stolen?

    Grinding/Screeching noise returned. SC found nothing.

    About a week or two ago my rear passenger brake/rotor was making a loud screeching/grinding noise after I made a right turn into a plaza. I thought perhaps some rocks got stuck somewhere. The noise went away when I started driving on the freeway. Well yesterday I was making a right turn out of a...

    Funny thing happened the other day...

    Okay, so this happened a few weeks ago but I forgot about it. I was stopped at red light and noticed a large Ford pickup truck pulling up to the right of me in the right turn lane. He slowed down and started staring. I was nervous because he seemed like he could be the "rolling coal" type. But...

    How often does your screen freeze/reboot?

    Happened to me twice last week. Screen/system would freeze then reboot. Not sure what I was doing at the time but it wasn’t anything out of the norm. Is this a common occurrence? I never had this issue until recently. Wonder if it was a firmware update or somthing.
