    Need opinions on two dedicated sets of tires

    After driving around in a lot of snow so far this Winter (New England), I've decided to get a dedicated set of snow tires on my existing aero wheels (that way I can use the caps to cover up the holes to ensure snow also doesn't get packed in there). That being said, I'd like to keep the snow...

    Model 3 home charging options

    can someone help me understand my options for home charging on my model 3? I read that the high power wall connector (HPWC) has two generations which there are differences between. Then I read that some people prefer NEMA 14-50. I have the option to buy a 1st Gen hpwc for $350 brand new but...

    Rear ended.. minor damage but don’t know what to do

    So I just got rear ended by someone I believe who was texting and driving. She was nice and admitted fault, cooperated and gave me her registration and license and license plate number. The damage is fairly minor but Im not sure what to do. I did spend a lot of money on the car but I was hoping...

    Keeping car AC on on really hot day while plugged in.. Any problems?

    I don't see any issue or problem doing this but would love to get others take on the matter. Is there any consequence of leaving my Ac on at 67 to keep my car at a reasonable temperature while it's plugged in? I don't pay for charging at work so the only consequence I see is being wasteful of...

    Plastidipped Aero cap vs stock wheels w/o aero caps

    I know a LOT of people were asking this earlier and I finally got around to doing this.. I only did one wheel and I also got really impatient so I managed to peel some of the black plasti dip off. Also my coverage wasn't superb when taping over so I'm going to need to take more tiem...

    Delayed honk?

    is it just my vehicle, or has anyone else noticed a delay between when you press the horn and when it sounds? I wait probably 3/4 of a second before anything makes noise which is super weird to me

    Vinyl cutout files for Model 3

    Would anyone be interested in custom cutout files for the Model 3? I essentially dimensioned, measured, and tested a cut file for the center console and it works great. Also, I did one for the Tesla T emblem on the front, rear, steering wheel, and wheel center caps. I have these files in .ai...

    Model 3 vampire drain log

    just wanted to share my vampire drain with everyone after being away from my car for roughly one week. I had a work trip and wasn't sure how to manage it, so I charged it to about 75%. From then on, I resisted the urge to check using my mobile app every hour and instead I checked in once a day...

    Will be away for a week - is it OK to leave car unplugged?

    I only charge at work and not at home. The parking lot I park in does not have a supercharger within proximity. Since I'll be going on a trip next week for 6 days, does anyone have any recommendations as to what I can do for my Model 3 to ensure that I don't have to resurrect my car from the...

    Picked up my Model 3 today.. Something's definitely wrong with my driver side door

    First off - really happy with everything else. This car drives like a dream. I picked my car up this morning and I got in and out of the driver seat just fine. When I'm ready to drive off with it, I try opening the door again with the regular click button, and I notice the rear passenger side...

    Is anyone else's LTE connection really crappy? It is for me in Boston

    My LTE connection constantly goes in and out. I have Verizon as a cell provider where I have LTE all throughout Boston with hardly any dead spots where it seems like my Model 3 is RARELY connected to any network which means I can almost never check the status of the charge or remote control it...

    Can someone photoshop what the aero wheel caps would look like with chrome/aluminum finish?

    I'm curious with how the aero caps would look like (on midnight silver metallic) with an aluminum/silver/chrome looking finish (to somewhat match the chrome on the car). I've attached a couple pictures. There are two parts of the aerowheel - the 'glossy' spokes that are curved inwards to the...

    Budget paint protection with plastidip

    Hey All, Taking delivery of my Model 3 very soon and I've been spending a lot of time researching protection options for both the aero wheel covers and a clear bra for the front/rear bumpers, fenders, hood, etc. I know immediately people are going to say "blah blah youre buying a 50k car so...

    Financing With Tesla vs local credit union

    was wondering if anyone knew if there was any benefit to financing with Tesla as opposed to my local credit union. My CU offers 0.25% lower rate so is there any reason or perk of financing through Tesla?

    Model 3 center cap and decal dimensions

    just picked up a set of the lug nut covers and center caps from my local SC and I decided to measure dimensions of the T width and height as well as the diameter of the cap itself. Hope people find this helpful! I have a vinyl cutter at work so I was going to get a logo and scale it exactly to...

    VIN# Changed?

    So I got my VIN assigned as 115xx just at the end of last week, but when I checked my account now the VIN # changed to 102xx. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm only worried if I got too early of a model and there was some production issue that might have been resolved by the 11kth car :-P...

    Beam – Earn 2 – 4% APY Interest | Beam Mobile Savings FYI - for those few of you who are thinking about paying in cash or putting a large deposit down, reconsider when you can get ~4% with this bank :-D #shamelessplug

    RPMTesla seems deceiving... Skeptical about their wireless charging mat

    RPM Tesla I've seen their video on how to install it here: I also read somewhere that the Tesla USB chargers are standard 1 A. In order for fast charging to work, you NEED at least 2A drive. From an electrical engineering standpoint, if you input 1A at 5V to the charger, the maximum power...

    EV plates in MA for the Model 3

    Hey Guys, Don't know how many of you are from or knowledgeable on the rules for electric vehicle registration in MA, but I have a couple questions: 1) I'm pretty sure it's required to have both front and rear license plates mounted on the Model 3 - can someone confirm? If so, I don't want to...
