    Perf Y Spoiler coming off?

    Remove the spoiler using dental floss, then sell it. Put that money toward some lighter weight 19" or 20" forged wheels with better tires. Sell the old Tesla 21 inch wheels/tires to help reimburse. Now you're out about $800 but have much less unsprung weight. You're welcome! Tesla Model Y 19...

    PSA Frunk Dents Super Easy

    I love Tesla, but this is one of those stupid things with Teslas. I've felt my frunk pop in when closing, then luckily pop back out. They really need to double up on the frunk metal in the emblem area so we can close our frunk without a chance of denting. It's so lame that I have to explain how...

    1,200 Mile Road Trip to Houston, TX - Am I Crazy?

    You can do it! Can you borrow a Chademo adapter? There is a Chademo halfway between Wilcox, AZ and Deming, NM. Otherwise, pressure up and drive slow.

    Where can I buy a Tesla Model 3 air filter?

    Jesus H Christ! I still can't find these. I live 200 miles from service center, so I just want to pick these up and change them. Come on, Tesla! Lord almighty! Do I have to get Rich Rebuilds to petition Congress or something! It's a frickin air filter! Let's get with the program! This is...

    Got it on our Nov 2017 build Model X. Now maps are very slow, streaming slower, and the phone unlock does not work. Anyone else having issues?

    Problems opening the charge port with the home cord button

    Good to know. I also got the same problem as the OP introduced on 2019.8.5 along with other issues like radio functions delayed and rear camera freezing. Waiting for the next update to see if that fixes things.

    Model 3 ground clearance

    Yes, gouged the underside on a speed bump on week 1. I go very slowly over them now, like complete complete stop, then crawl over. Roads are made for trucks and SUVs here, with no regard to eco cars.

    Is a 270 mile interstate leg feasible from a 100% charge?

    Wow. We are really still talking about needing a Supercharger on i40 between OKC and Little Rock. Un-friggin believable... C'mon Tesla!

    Long-range or Performance

    I have the performance Model 3 with 18 inch wheels. I prefer the softer, but still sporty ride of the 18s. Still, I think the long range RWD version is the best bang for the buck if you don't need AWD. BTW, these 18 inch wheels fit the P3D+: 18

    Unsold Model 3 sitting in lot awaiting buyers?

    If you're in California, yes. Depends on your state. You can't do it in Texas and about 30 other states because it's illegal still.

    Anyone else waiting a long time for spare aero wheels?

    Colorado, keep an eye on Craigslist Texas, then do a weekend road trip south when you find a deal. I like the 18 inch Tesla wheels minus aero covers, but I'm old school and like silver wheels. I also like to be able to put on the aero covers for road trips. I thought about it, and decided...

    Charging cable won't insert - frozen "tab" inside receiver?

    A few questions and a comment: Would a car cover help some of these cold weather issues? I imagine it would be messy, but it could help. Why don't more Tesla owners in cold climates have garages? I've lived in Eastern Montana and South Dakota and I made sure we always had a garage. So...

    Realistic Timeline for 35k base Model 3

    Might as well get your car now. By the time the $35000 SR version comes out, lots of folks who are not even tracking the Model 3 today will suddenly learn of it and want one. And they won't even know or care that there was once a tax credit.

    Spare tire on road trips?

    I always carry a $30 2 ton floor jack, torque wrench with socket, breaker bar with socket, 12 volt compressor, tarp, first aid kit, tools, etc. It all fits in a 18 inch soft tool bag and fits in the sump. I bought a spare front take off tire / wheel which fits front or rear. This spare sits...

    Tesla Hate Crimes

    Funny that folks coal roll vehicles that have HEPA filters... I've experienced this on the interstate while traveling through another state. 1. Not very effective. 2. You just wasted $1. 3. You're just pumping out particulate matter for your family to breathe. Guess they showed me....

    Tesla Model 3 First Drive Reviews

    Did the Model 3 test drive Saturday. Love it! Of course it's more nimble than our Model X, but it feels even lighter than my old BMW 335i did. The suspension and steering felt perfect to me. The size, also perfect. I got used to the single display immediately. The rear air was nice and...

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    Galileo Russel of Hyperchange just did a great analysis of the book "The Everything Store" by Brad Stone. Galileo shows amazing similarities to how Wall Street just doesn't get it with Tesla, just as they were clueless about Amazon 20 years ago. Tesla analogies start at 1:35, but the...

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    Thanks for that. And now we know the rest of the story... There is much hate toward Elon. Dunno why. I know one guy who said it's because people can forgive lots of things, but they'll never forgive you for being smarter than they are. When they asked that Vern guy what he thought of Elon's...

    Munro Teardown Shows Model 3 Profitable With 30%+ Margins

    After checking out a Model 3 last weekend, I feel it'll easily get cheaper to produce rather quickly. Why? Because there's just not much there. It's so damn simple. Much simpler than any car I've ever sat in. Sure there are alot of electronics in there, but that's what you want because...

    Any way to avoid auto-lock based on location?

    I love the automatic door locking and mirror folding feature, but it drives me bonkers when parked at home in our garage. The mirrors are constantly folding in and out when I'm working on a project walking in and out of the garage. I sometimes leave the key fob in the house to avoid this, but...

    Tesla goes up in flames!

    Thanks for the CNN article. Everyone who knows I have a Tesla (including mom) has recently asked if I'm worried about it catching fire. I posted the article and this comment: I'm 11 times less worried about a Tesla catching fire than I am worried about a gas car catching fire.

    Farewell Model X and Hello Lincoln Navigator

    Hey, you tried. Perhaps one day a bigger EV that is a better fit will become available. Not everyone has the perfect family size, the perfect commute distance, the perfect charging situation, etc, for an EV. We do the best we can, and at least you tried it. I know a bunch of folks who could...

    UMC, Corded & Wall Chargers do not use Neutral?

    Correct. For a the HPWC, some installers in my area use Romex 6/2 (has black, white and ground) and they just mark the white wire with red tape or paint on each end to designate it as a power phase and not neutral. Or they use 6/3 (has black, white, red, and ground) and not use the white wire...

    Nissan Leaf to complement our Tesla Model X

    After replacing our old Civic CNG with a new Model X in December 2017, we quickly realized that we were ready to be done with ICE cars completely. Our other car, a 2013 Ford Escape, quickly become the gas car that we hated to use. We found ourselves using the Model X for everything, from long...

    Laguna Beach, CA accident, title claims "autopilot" involved.

    Stupid people doing stupid things and not paying attention. This is why we can't have nice things. They're running this story in Oklahoma every half hour on channel 9.2 in OKC, but not a peep about the Model 3 crash in Washington state where the family of 4 was safe and fine. Nor anything...

    HPWC: what level do you set it at.

    We have a 75D and charge it at 40 amps. Our HPWC uses 6/2 Romex (good up to 55 amps) through the wall (no conduit needed) on a 50 amp breaker. Only need 6/2 because a neutral is not used on for the HPWC. They just mark the white wire with red tape on each end to designate it as the other...

    Someone unplugged my car

    Electricity is so cheap. Bottom line, we need more chargers. They will come, but we're gonna experience more shenanigans like this until chargers are everywhere. Like at your housing. When more people drive EVs, apartment owners will put up free chargers like candy to attract good tenants.

    Did you name your Model S, and if so, what?

    Our Midnight Silver Metalic Model X was initially named Rarity. For non-EV folks, EVs are thought to be cute little toys, like that My Little Pony unicorn. In reality she's a beast, and rare around here. That name is proving to be too complicated to explain and doesn't roll off the tongue...
