    How long will a model 3 last and what tesla to replace it?

    My first M3 was purchased 5 years ago new from Tesla. It has 139,000 miles on it today. No major issues with it during those years / miles. I was so pleased with it, I purchased another 2018 M3 that was dual motor, silver (only offered the first year), 5 years old with 20,000 miles. I had no...

    Was there ever a discount on the acceleration boost, or was it always $2,000?

    $2000 is a bit much for me, so mine just sits there tempting me. However, it lowers your 0-60 time by .5 seconds. This has been proven by many YouTubers. I'd say to lower your 0-60 time in another vehicle, you'd spend at least $2000 maybe more. So I'd ask yourself if it is worth it to you...

    What did you name your Tesla?

    Got a "New to me" M3 2018 LR Dual Motor with FSD. Silver was only offered the first year, so the paint was unique. At the time of purchase, it only had 15k miles. Named it AI CAR. Love it. I still have TEZZ, but she has 136k miles, so I decided its time to pass her on to someone else.

    Traded my M3P for an RS3 - My thoughts on both cars for what it's worth

    This one I just don't understand. I've had mine since 2018. I've put 125,000 miles on it with 2 years of no travel to work during COVID. So for 2 years, the only miles I put on it where traveling 650 miles to Albuquerque NM from Sanger, TX. During COVID< I would go check on my then 73 year...

    6’6” tall. Is the M3 for me?

    I'm 6' 0" and I cannot put the seat all the way back. I'm probably 2-3" from all the way back. I have driven plenty of S's (non-plaid) and the seat goes to pretty much the same spot for me in them as well. (Also) I cannot stand the position of the B Pillar in the S. I find the S seats and...

    Powerwall firmware expiry?

    Tesla Energy has the worst Customer Service. Regret getting Tesla

    Typical for any solar part that is defective. Any company that installs solar products has to wait for the part to arrive, then schedule tech to come install it. I had an inverter go out. Took 3 weeks for the part to arrive and then 2 more weeks for the tech to come install it. This is why I...

    I don't have Tesla Solar, because they won't do ground mount installs, but I do have 3 PWs. I'll post pictures of both though.

    Powerwall 2 and Central Air question

    I can speak for my Trane Xi20. It requires 3 PowerWalls to run along with the Soft Start. MY AC guy measured it and it pulls 65A on power up, which is 5 more than 2 PWs can handle. (I've got a bad PW and waiting for a replacement. That's why I know I cannot run the HVAC on 2.)

    Supercharger - Henrietta, TX

    Is it really worth it?

    My experience. Ordering online is great. No salesman! Delivery was changed twice and delayed once, so it sucked. Finally receiving my car, the experience was wonderful. Tesla rep showed me around the car (or actually I showed him), I signed a couple pages and off I went. One month after...

    Tesla service with the App really sucks!

    Weird. I've scheduled two service calls this month using the app. Once for new wiper blades and once for my steering wheel vibrating when it moves out of the way. Both times, they call within a few hours and scheduled to bring mobile service to me the very next day.

    what is your preferred autopilot setting for every day highway commute?

    Dallas/Fort Worth traffic = 1 if you want to live. Navigate on AP = Off MPH = 90 52 miles each way. Speed limits are 70-75MPH. Most of the traffic is around 80-85, so 90 keeps me right up next to them. Any space between cars causes someone to move over and cut you off.

    Check Out the Cybertruck Promo Photos

    Woke up, went in Tesla.com, and plopped down my $100 to say my place in line before seeing any video of any of it. I want the 3 engine 500+ mile version, so guess I'm waiting until 2022 for mine, buy I will definitely get that version.

    Beta Testing and You

    Navigate on Autopilot is Useless (2018.42.3)

    I'm not reading all that, but here';s my take. Summon was useless when ti first came out. Now it's almost good to play with. While Navigate on AP isn't the greatest yet, it will be. Give it time. Sure are a lot of people mad about beta products in this forum lately. You know you're an...

    Auto Pilot Is Dangerous

    If you truly have video evidence, then Tesla cannot turn you away. I use autopilot everyday. The only time my car acts that way is when it cannot see the lines in the road, or when there are no lines. However, mine kicks out of AP when that happens. ALWAYS drive with a hand or two on the...

    18" OEM Tire replacement choices?

    You can go up ot 65s on them, yup. I kinda wish I'd gone with 60s. I think that would have been perfect. Now, I can say there's been no more curb rash and I have scraped a curb since adding the 55s. And yes, I was shocked to find out that there was no noticeable drop in range on my last...

    18" OEM Tire replacement choices?

    You can go up to 65s. I went 55s and kinda wish I'd gone with 60s. I think 60s would have been perfect, but I was worried about losing range. Since it didn't impact me during my last trip, I'll probably go 60s next time.

    New Owners - Neutral is different for Car Washes!

    Yes you can. I've done it. I beeps and yells at you because of all the brushes wands, etc., but it'll roll through just fine in drive as long as creep is off.

    6 month old Tesla model 3 losses 7 miles

    Mine was 307 when I first got it. Then they did an update that pushed it up to 316, but the last time I went on a trip it only charged to 299. I'm closing in on 30,000 miles. The last trip was at 25,000 miles. I can't really say it dropped over 5% from new, because it didn't charge to 316...

    OEM Replacement Tire Alternatives?

    I replaced my tires at 20,000 miles. I love the new ones. My only concern now is longevity. My energy consumption remained the same, even thought I went wider. 1. Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 2. Changed to 255 / 40 ZR18 (I wanted wider tires to try and cover the wheels to protect from curb rash...

    18" OEM Tire replacement choices?

    Car Wash Mode PLEASE!

    Ya. Every time I go, I still have to remember to tap the wiper to turn off. I will say it seems to be easier to get into neutral now. My wife still won't take it to a car wash.

    WeatherTech or Tesla brand

    Neither. I switched to 3D mats years ago in my truck and as soon as they made them for the Model 3, I grabbed them. best mats IMO: 3D Maxpider Kagu Floor Liners

    How are the 3D MAXpider floor mats holding up?

    Some people might be harder on mats than others, or some people might not be truthful. My mats have 10,000 miles on them and other than being dirty, are holding up just fine. Also, this is my second pair. My first pair were for in a Nissan Titan pickup and lasted 40,000 miles and still looked...

    Same thing in Texas for Pickup Truck Owners. We always raise a figure at a passing pickup. I started doing it for other Tesla owners too, but most of my roads were I see passing Teslas are highways.

    How are people applying enough force in NOA steering?

    After several non-scientific methods, I found that 12 grams is enough weight to satisfy the system. So 12 grams of pennies in a sock wrapped around the side of the steering wheel is all you need to drive from Texas to New Mexico without touching the steering wheel. :p

    Sorry, but you're incorrect. No one ever promised super charging for new cars. It's only on the car you had. That's why you can't find it anywhere.
