    Retrofit a tow hitch?

    I have used the contact feature on my Tesla account to twice in the last 6 weeks to politely ask them to confirm in writing that a 3rd party tow hitch won't void warranty, since Elon said multiple times publicly that Model 3s will be able to tow (part of why i didn't wait for a Y) and they offer...

    An error, a diagnosis, and a new rear motor in 7 days in MN

    They are going to send me more info on the root cause and technical stuff (i asked, he said most people didn't) but don't have it yet. They did confirm the rear drive unit was replaced, proactively. Let's see what they come back with.

    An error, a diagnosis, and a new rear motor in 7 days in MN

    Agreed on both accounts. This really was a pretty perfect service experience. But i wish it didn't have to happen.

    An error, a diagnosis, and a new rear motor in 7 days in MN

    Just wanted to post me experience in the Minneapolis service center. Last Thursday, i got an error message on the way to work to the effect of "Car needs service. Car may not restart." First issue i've had since i got it in Aug 2018 (11k miles). I figured it might be a ghost in the machine, so...

    M3 Roof Rack Back in Stock!

    For anyone still waiting like i am, I ordered mine on the 7th, waited a week, emailed the orders department, and today received the following response: "Thank you for contacting Tesla. I apologize for the delay in response. Due to the overwhelming popularity of the M3 Rood Rack when this item...

    Model 3 : No Sounds

    Quick update: Tried the 'get out and back in' (let the interior lights turn off before i got back in) and it fixed it just as well as a menu reset (the two button, or two button and brake reset still do not work).

    Model 3 : No Sounds

    Tesla is definitely aware. I have an open bug report for the no audio/black screen issue that was kicked up to advanced support. I get an email every week or two asking if what they did fixed it (it did not). I seem to get car software updated sooner now than in the past, maybe i'm on some list...

    First Ding. Ugh. Worth Fixing?

    It took me a while to see the lower ding, vs the black marks, so i'd say fix the black marks, ignore the ding unless you can get it fixed cheap. Unless it bothers you, then just fix it.

    Car Shutting Down At Rest

    I think this could be related to what is happening to some of us on the M3OC thread called "Audio bug" or "audio issues". Occasionally i will get in, the screen will be black for 30 seconds even when pressing brake, needing a reset, and i lose all audio (even blinkers) until i go to the menu and...

    Goodbye regen, I'll miss you

    In that case, already doing it. I turn on the cabin heat (just hit the climate icon) about an hour before i leave, does the full defrost, etc. The only thing i'm not doing is adjusting my scheduled charge so it end around when i leave, which i'll try.

    Goodbye regen, I'll miss you

    @CUBldr97 there is no pre-warm/conditioning option in the model 3 app that i can see (i'm on 3.6.1 app and V9 42.3 car software).

    Goodbye regen, I'll miss you

    yeah, that sounds right. I got the back end to slide out a bit too easily this morning on black ice (goosed it just to see), think i might keep it in chill mode for the season. Do others leave it in standard, or switch to Chill for the winter?

    Goodbye regen, I'll miss you

    Yeah, mine has been limited essentially for the last 2 weeks (unheated detached garage). My commute is 20 miles, all highway at 70+, so my efficiency since it gold cold is pretty bad, up near 320wh/mi (and has been as bad as 360wh/mi). Although, even when warmer, it was up near 280 (70+ highway...

    Model 3 Diecast Model

    I picked up yeterday in MN. I did not get one. They said "once a center is out, they are out". Bummer but not too big of a bummer.

    White Interior with what exterior color?

    I'm doing the obsidian black with chrome delete and white interior. It's gonna look like a murder machine from the future.
