So in the last weeks i've noticed that on many drives the grey wheel symbol which represents when you can engage autopilot is often missing or will flash available for a second then disappear again. This seems to happen more at the beginning of a drive and/or on surface streets vs larger...

So now that Tesla has gotten much larger and more popular, it seems like service experiences are starting to get worse and I've heard that people are having to wait more and more. Wanted to get some input from others in the community and see if you've experienced a "slow" service experience...

So I noticed my front right lateral link was loose, which is a relatively common issue on Model 3 (tow truck driver even said "i had the same yesterday") and there was even a recall for it previously, and reached out to Tesla to get some help. I initially asked if they could send someone to...

So for the last 3 days, my car has been acting very strange and has never done this before over the last 2.5 years. I keep the HVAC set to 70F and auto pretty much all the time, but for the last few mornings the car seems to BLAST the AC on super cold and fan speed 7 for the first 5-10 minutes...

So i just got an OBDII connector cable from e mobility driving solutions in Germany and put together a quick video on how to install it for use with Scan My Tesla. Was pretty easy and the data is really cool, trying to find a way to overlay some of this on track videos somewhat painlessly...

Hey guys - Just an heads up that VMR wheels is doing 25% almost everything they sell for Black Friday. These wheels are already a pretty good value for the flow formed version and have a high weight rating (~1800 lbs for V710FF) at a relatively light weight. They can also machine the wheel to...

So like many people, i paid the $3K for FSD when purchasing my car back in fall of 2018. I've been slowly waiting for entry to the Early Access Program as Elon promised (instead of a refund), but it seems that isn't happening. Apparently there are some rumors that Early Access has been totally...

Here's a cool video from DAErik with Randy driving his car!

Tesla Corsa is back again, next event will be unveiled and registration opens on Monday! This is a Tesla track day event where owners can take their cars out on a racetrack to go fast in a safe, controlled environment. Everyone is welcome, regardless of skill or experience. The 2nd event sold...

Check out Electrek's article this AM about the Tesla Corsa event that took place on Sunday! https://electrek.co/2019/01/29/tesla-corsa-model-3-performance-race-track/

Unplugged just added these new pads to their website! They are the first (to my knowledge) aftermarket brake pads for P3D. I'm running them myself as a beta tester and they've been great for me, the initial bite is much more firm and it gives much more confidence. They also last longer on the...

Not sure if you guys have heard about these events, but essentially they are Tesla only track days where you can take your car out on the track with other Tesla owners and go fast! This is meant for everyone, even people who have never even seen a racetrack before. If you are curious i would...

Just got some new sport brake pads (front only for now) installed by Unplugged Performance and after doing a quick bed-in last night (10 hard stops from ~35 to ~5 in rapid succession) they feel GREAT today when using on the street. Also installed the stainless brake lines which are likely...

Selling my OEM 20" wheels and tires that came with the car, they have about 1200 miles on them and one track session but are still in pretty good shape. Still have TPMS installed and no curb rash at all! Looking for $3000 OBO and am located in West Los Angeles. I could ship if you really...

Soo on my way home yesterday i was going to place my phone in the charging cradle and accidentally tapped the bottom edge of the car dash screen with the top of my phone. I didn't think much of it at the moment, but then 15 minutes later my touchscreen started to freak out and was totally...

I just got back from Buttonwillow after tracking with Track Mode for the first time, but after having been to Buttonwillow about a month ago with Tesla Corsa. When i was their in October my fastest times were around 2:18, but i was having tons of power limitations which meant fewer chances at a...

Alright everyone! I'm super curious to see what the distribution is for various people on this forum in terms of tracking your Model 3. What's the general feeling for taking a Model 3 to the track? Any concerns about reliability or safety? Let's discuss!

Tesla on Twitter Woohoo!

Alright i need some expert opinions...took the car autocrossing and heard a weird clunk under heavy braking right as i started to turn the wheel. I definitely took this turn a bit hot :D Based on the fact that i'm running 265 tires and definitely have minimal clearance, i'm leaning towards...

So check out the Tesla Model 3 page, it says P3D does 0-60 in 3.3 seconds instead of 3.5! Did the car change or is this just software? I hope its the latter because i already have my car :D

Am i crazy or is the P3D more efficient with V9 software? I just got an effiency of 260 wh/mile on a drive where i would previously get around 300. I'm wondering if they maybe changed something in how the motors torque sleep while cruising.

So I just noticed that my car's acceleration seems MUCH more pronounced when i go from 3-5MPH to 60MPH compared to going from 0-60. Does anyone elses P3D do this? It honestly feels sluggish getting started from 0 and i'm not really sure why... PS - The road is was on wasn't wet/dirty, so i...

As the title says, what does everyone think are the best tires and sizes for tracking the Model 3? We know that the Pilot Sport 4S works great for basic use, so what about dedicated track tires.

Have an early Model 3 (VIN in 2000's) for sale as i'm upgrading to the Performance version. Car has 18" Aero's and EAP with the black premium interior. Located in Los Angeles (west side). About 5200 miles currently and hoping to sell this in the next few weeks. Car is in great shape, but...

So i've noticed that my steering wheel is a bit "sticky" (not really, just makes my hands feel slightly greasy periodically) and i want to clean it without damaging the material itself. I've used leather cleaners before (on leather, i know this is different) and they seem to either leave a...

Well, like the title says i'm interested in seeing what different wheels people are throwing on their model 3's. If you have some aftermarket wheels, or have seen some in the wild, post a picture of what you got!

Today i found out that the Model 3 already supports WiFi but you need to be at a service center for it to happen :) I mention this not as a joke (well, sorta) but because it implies that Tesla has already done much of the software work for enabling WiFi on the Model 3 and hopefully we will get...

Does anyone else have a clunking type sound when they turn on the air/AC in the vehicle? Whenever i turn it On i hear a 1-2 second motor sound with a clunk or two and i also hear it when splitting the air into two streams or from 2x streams back into 1x (only on my passenger side) Thinking my...

So i've done this a few times by accident when i'm trying to disengage Autopilot, but basically i will notice i'm either not getting the regen i expect (not slowing down) or the car won't accelerate when i press on the accelerator (and i get an alert "Hey put me in Drive!") because i have...

What does this do? I have pressed it during the day and at night with dome lights on and off and don't notice any difference.

Does anyone know if Tesla plans on bringing the 10-30 (and other) adapters back onto their website? They currently show Out of Stock and i heard they previously had a recall in 2016. Model 3 NEMA Adapters Otherwise, are those adapters from Home Depot legit? I've got the old style dryer...

Anyone know what the length is for the model 3 UMC? Doing some parking planning :)
