I had not seen this tidbit mentioned before, and I happened on this fact accidentally last weekend, so I'm tossing it out there to get more people in-the-know. EDIT: Of course my thread title has as typo. *facepalm*

I've got a Model 3 but posting here as it is Model S part. I interested in a Gen 1 that wolud allow me 40A. It would not really be mobile, it'd be tried to a certain location. Probably never unplugged. I found a couple on eBay but they both lack a plug adaptor. It isn't really usable without...

Is there a way to repair this short of full piece replacement? P.S. Way to represent Appalachian Virginia, you turd that did this. :/

Doing the first tire rotation, pulled off the front passenger wheel and found this greasy mess. The gob on the bottom wheel is some that I scooped up off the brake line and elsewhere on the inside, to see exactly what it was. Grease, not oil. It's also only a large spot like this on one...

Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer, “Sir,” said I, “or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore; But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door, That I scarce was sure I heard you”—here I opened...

I've seen @MountainPass and others mention replacing their Model 3's brake fluid, since the stock fluid doesn't stand up to track-like use. This won't be a DIY project for me, I'm not a smart man but smart enough to know it's over my pay grade. However are there any gotchas or recommendations...

Has anyone here run, or heard of someone running the Model 3 w/o TPMS installed? How intrusive is the nag, can it be cleared or will it always be there until you swap back? Does it get in the way of other [unexpected] error messages (that I’m likely to care about)?

A friend of a friend, after a Shiraz-soaked evening of cajoling, has talked me into showing up for an Autocross day. They are a regular at both the local Porsche and BMW meets (where she drives her 993 and (I think?) her >400hp BMWer, respectively). I have never been, so will try take advantage...

This is NOT currently a location for a grey pin on Tesla's map so could be some time in the works. However Rudy's BBQ appears onboard for this location as they are happy with results so far of co-locating SCs at their stores. Supercharger- Richmond, TX It would also be nice having a SC for the...

Supercharger- Richmond, TX Not entirely clear if it's OKC proper on the Norman location. Northside of OKC is fairly closer to an existing SC, has a shorter distance to the next-closest to the north, and the Ardmore to the South is longer, so this would close that somewhat. However it has a very...

First time taking battery to "full", only about 1500mi on odometer. I set the limit all the way right and let the SC try take it to the ceiling. It spent a very long time post 97%, actually dropped to 97 after reaching 98, and then "bounced" like that between 99 and 98, before several minutes...

*Install Now* *Install Now* *Install Now* I went out to move the 3 around (no, not settled on a name, yet) because I'm prepping the Camry for sale and I got myself a little surprise. :) Hadn't realized they'd started pushing out to Model 3 en mass now, too. Going to be sweet not having to break...

Came across this and hadn't noticed one of these before so I thought a few people here that Autocross may be interested.

This afternoon I started hearing what sounded sort of like something clunking around. A few minutes later almost a 'pop' when I threw on the turn signal. Later the turn signal would create a closer to normal sound but truncated and not in normal tempo. I connected the weird clunking/clicking...

Fff... Yeah. —— Extended version. Took delivery in the dark. Had correct number of wheels. *thumbs up* Youngest rode w/me. Pulled out of the lot & immediately the first light obliged us w/a launch opportunity. Road was wet & yet my vision momentarily swam when I stomped on it. Dropped of kid...

Do these exist? Are there Superchargers that split a single 130KW (or 145KW) circuit among more than two charging cables? Or are they always in pairs?

Tesla sent out a message to cars in the area of Florence's path, unlocking the top of those stealth 75kWh batteries and also announcing free Supercharging. Here's someone confirming that it appears to apply to Model 3s as well: Stopped at a Raleigh, NC supercharger as I drove away from...

This is the first estimate I've seen come out, it's from Inside EV, 17800. Monthly Plug-In Sales Scorecard That's actually off somewhat from where I thought they'd manage to land, I expected another 1500-2000 higher. Still decent, that should still top $1B in gross revenue for the Model 3...

On my main account page, not in the page for my Model 3. Does anyone, that's not heard from Tesla about their order (so no VIN, delivery date, etc), have this?

Background. My order is, for now, what I want it to be but I fat-fingered the payment option (about June 30th, order was put in June 27) and the website has never allowed me to change that. I am borrowing part of the purchase price, and also wanted to check what Tesla will give me for a rate. I...

They got it in Wednesday & just started taking appointments late last week. My appointment was yesterday (Sunday). I initiated this, hadn’t been contacted. I had happened to phone in to check for a P but they don’t know when they’re getting their’s. Wife didn’t drive but in a lot of ways was...

Model 3 AWD ordered. The process seems different now via the website but I wanted to check how things have happened in the past. Have you paid the 6.25% base sales tax only? Have you paid it separate and then need to cough up the extra 2% (is there anywhere in the State that doesn't have this...

Because of the weird "purchase out of State, then ship in", are Tesla first-owners still covered under Texas lemon laws? Is it covered under a different State (say, CA)? Both? Anyone here go through this, or know of anyone that has tried to go through the lemon laws, or have any insight on this?

I could have swore there was a place before to edit the order from the Manage page. But today I don't see it anywhere on the page? Am I just missing it, what's it suppose to look like? I thought that only happens when the VIN is assigned and they are queuing the vehicle up for production? Is it...

I wanted to see what the "Check Your Estimated Delivery" button would bring up from the https://www.telsa.com/model3 page now that I've got my order in. Is this below the page it has shown for people in the past after they've ordered, or is this new and suggests that they'll still be using...

So I shall. I don't have a firm date yet, just a hand wave "3-5 months". I know people have put together TX specific tips & procedures lists in the past? Where's a good place to find the latest edition? I believe I'm going to be partially financing but not through Tesla. Already reaching out to...

Went to www.telsa.com/model3 to see if there was any update to my time window. This popped up.

This photo popped up on my Twitter feed this morning. I searched a few different ways and didn't spot any thread with this, yet. Checked with Tineye Internet wide and it didn't come up either. It's very wagon. I'm not a wagon guy but I imagine people that are would dig on this, looks like a...

Do the AWD versions of Model S have more aggressive regen than the rear wheel only variants? Does anyone have the g numbers/curves that the regen pulls on various Model S vehicles?

Attached is a potential route leg. Missoula, MT to Lethbridge, AB. Net elevation across the leg is a drop of approximately 200'. A lot of the trip is along river valley bottom. However there is at least one pass that I've identified, at Summit, MT. It's elevation is 5338'. What's the rule of...

For those that have gotten to configure, and have received notification of the ability to do so (I understand some never received one notification); Was it an email even if you've selected SMS as your communication preference in your account settings? Or is that for something different, and...

I've done a search and don't see a recent thread directly on this topic. My apologies, and a link please, if there's something newer I missed. Here's a poll and predictions from about 7 months back. POLL: What happens to Model S resale prices with Model 3 release? So, we are now well into the...

I got a few minutes with an M3 parked on a showroom floor today (Houston, TX Galleria). Poking around the trunk I noticed I could slide my fingers down the back of trunk compartment wall of the passenger side (the outside wall, back of the wheel well) and into the gap between it and what appears...

Just received an email, the text down below seems to suggest it's targeting reservation holders for a non-driving demo. Making an appointment now....wait, no. The appointments are for "Energy Products", yeah Solar City are stuck up city slickers that refuse to come out to my zip code. :p So it's...
