    Highland suspension on 2019 Model 3

    I want to also thank you for doing this. Thanks for your time, effort and for sharing your experience. I have an original 2018 LR Model 3, would enjoy being able to upgrade the suspension with Tesla highland parts. To me this is a fix to a defect in ride quality. The highland suspension is...

    Model 3 2023 updates? Or what would you guys like to see?

    Step #1 for safety: Manual control of the Wiper speeds. Been waiting 4.5 years for this fix. Can someone tweet Elon.

    Wipers too fast

    Why can't add one more slower speed? So strange, the lowest of the 3 is not slow enough and my auto wipers over wipe most all of the time. I feel like this is a safety issue with FSD forcing autowipers. Worst part of the car for me for sure. So simple youd think I bet the hardware prevents...

    Glare from side repeaters in blind spot camera?

    I had my replaced at my own cost with Ds. I have no more glare at night. Now, because I had them replaced, I notice that when I go into Reverse-->I takes too long for all 3 of my cameras to come up (I have to wait for them/heard this is a recall item maybe?) AND both my side repeaters start...

    Glare from side repeaters in blind spot camera?

    I'm surprised you feel this way. If you answer No to the following 4 questions, I'm shocked. Do you think blind spot video camera is a safety issue if you are not able to see them display properly? Would you expect your side cameras that came with the car to work by displaying properly at...

    Glare from side repeaters in blind spot camera?

    This is a defect in the design of the side camera parts There are via holes in the circuit board. They leak light from the turn signal into the camera casing. There are transparent portions of the circuit board on the side opposite the via holes that have no copper between the outside surface...

    Glare from side repeaters in blind spot camera?

    Tesla will need to be required to provide #1 (1. Free replacement with newer style repeater cameras). It's broken and proven defective. What is Tesla thinking? That people will not take the time via the Tesla App to book and then insisting: "No this is defective/broken/safety issue". Taking...

    Glare from side repeaters in blind spot camera?

    The autowipers, can't believe they can not have a variable lowest speed, this might be the worst thing about the car right now with the new UI. Thank goodness for waypoints, that was nice!!!

    Glare from side repeaters in blind spot camera?

    Simple question, why does nobody care about this? It's like my est. 700k existing cars in the US have this issue (a safety recall wold cost $275 mil). It's broken. What is Tesla thinking, that people will not care or will not take the time via the Tesla App process? They make it hard to...

    Glare from side repeaters in blind spot camera?

    Is this not a defective camera if it flashes pink at night? When people see it, they think it's broken, because it is broken. Why is this not an automatic warranty item. Not covering these types of warranty items is typical Tesla. Tesla folks please respond. Sounds like most of the fleet...

    Another subwoofer option - NVX Audio

    Do we have to turn off the high voltage power? Or only take the negative off the 12V? I think we only need to take off the neg on the Frunk 12V Do only pages 7-10? Please confirm. Thanks all...

    Free Supercharging Miles suddenly have an expiration date

    During a pandemic? And many people have been told by Tesla staff that their free miles wouldn't expire. That's what I was told, never saw any fine print until they added an expiration date in the app. This isn't material to Tesla or customers. It's just no way to treat your very best...

    Free Supercharging Miles suddenly have an expiration date

    No way to treat early adopters and your best supporters. I still can't believe my 5000 supercharger miles expired on 6/30/2020 during a pandemic when I thought they never expired. Tesla can do crap things from time to time. This is crap, it's not material, it's the principle. I even reached out...

    Expiring miles on June 30

    How did you know your miles were about to expire in Dec 2019? I had no idea reward miles expired at all. Its lawful to have them expire, but the notice in mid April that they would expire in May to be extended to June is wrong during a pandemic.

    Expiring miles on June 30

    It's not about money. It's about the customer notification during a pandemic. It's the principle of doing what's right. It all matters and these are the people that are helping Tesla move things forward the most....

    Expiring miles on June 30

    My 2 cents. I have 4500 miles expiring on June 30th. I was saving them as i didn't think they expire. Then it showed up in April that they would be expiring at the end of May in the loot box. Then they updated it to June 30th. **To think people thought they had free miles and now they are...

    RWD LR Model 3 owner. My full charge is 324-325. To be clear and help fellow owners. RWD really did have a software update to 325. That's a pic of the last time I fully charged, going on 2 years.

    Sound Deadening Model 3

    It's a project definitely worth your time if road noise is a big deal to you and you are planning on keeping your model 3 around for a while. This is a DIY project for those that have the time/energy/skills/flexibility. Labor hours make this cost prohibitive. It's by far the quietest car (city...

    Will Tesla punish their supporters, or refund $3,000?

    ebmcs03 said: So people who didn’t buy anything are rewarded to purchased FSD for total of $5k now. But those of us who bought EAP now are penalized and have to pay $7k total to get FSD. F U Tesla! ------------------------------ Exactly. Tesla needs to make this right by adding FSD to those who...

    FSD 2k or 3k for those who purchased EAP for 5k?

    Exactly. Tesla needs to make this right by adding FSD to those who already spent 5k on autopilot when they bought the car in 2018. Elon / Tesla please listen. This issue will not go away without resolution. Folks reading this, please call and write Tesla. Tesla will have to listen if...

    FSD for $3K online for EAP owners?

    I agree this is what should be done. Please, let's as a community of early adopters fight for this.

    Full Tax Credit Pointless

    It's not fair. Bait and switch / ploy tactics I thought I was avoiding by buying from Tesla. Tesla should be fair with early adopters more so than any other group of buyers.

    Reducing noise and keeping the door sills clean

    Model 3 suspension & kids

    I wish LR was more tuned for family touring. The suspension is fine for our family, but I wish it was more comfortable on all types of roads. My kids never say anything, they love how fast it goes. But my wife and I think it's too ruff, I keep it to myself and give feedback for LR M3s with...

    New vs Old Rear Seats

    Any update on rear seat retrofits? This needs to be addressed for early adopters one might think...the new seats are a lot more comfortable! Even the new front seats have a bit more cushiony softness. The back is a the big ticket item tho, vast improvement.

    Three weeks and my biggest disapointment in the Model 3...

    I wanted to chime in. I've had plenty of fit & finish fixes, but my biggest issue is ride comfort. I think the ride is bouncy, jerky on uneven local roads. On the freeway going 70mph the road noise is louder than it should be. The worst is grooved pavement on the highway, it's way too loud...

    VInyl Scuff & Scratch on Interior B-Pillar

    M3 Acceleration Shudder/Vibration in the wheel

    Turning it off might just be the ticket! Why does the M3 shake the wheel without telling you why it's doing so? Does the M3 tell you? Strange. To me when you lane drift the last thing you might want to happen is to have your wheel shake making it possibly even worse. Hmmm...
