It may be a coincidence. Tesla just resent the update. I am uploading it again after work. We shall see. My car had 104,000 miles on it. It may ne something hardware related considering my mileage.

Hey Everyone, Since receiving this update, my power steering assist level changes as I drive. It is fine for a while, then suddenly 25% or so more effort is required to steer. Then it goes away and is normal again. After 104,000 miles, I am very familiar with my car and this definitely...

Moderator note: The first four posts in this thread are a merge of two threads on the same topic. Hey Everyone, Ever since receiving this update, I am having issues with my power steering. The amount of assist varies as I drive. It is not huge, but noticeable. Basically, it will suddenly...

Hey Guys, I completely understand objections to either the "need" for this kit or the price. Allow me to elaborate; I initially developed this mount just as something I personally wanted. I felt the screen was too high on the dash and too vertical. So, I hand machined my own mount. It was...

Umm, I did load the configurator a few days ago and it came up as $4,000........

Awd is a $4,000 option, not $5,000.

Ha, I have an answer for you guys! I just received an offer from Tesla for my 2018 M3 LR. I was offered $43,000 to trade up to a performance M3. Not worth it. But, I understand they have to resell it. I will either wait a year to trade it in, or wait to trade up to a Y if they look like a good...

If you look at the under side of the frunk lid (the hood), it appears best to use one hand flat over the latch. That is what I do. I lay one hand flat over the latch (basically over the Tesla logo) and latch it. I don't mind opening it. I use it daily. What bothers me is unlatching it. For one...

I am seeing a 15% loss of range with these new tires and wheels. However, I am still better range than the 310 miles Tesla claims for the Model 3.

I just installed Savini SV-F 20 inch wheels. They are phenominal looking! The tires are Pilot Support A/S 3+. This setup really woke up the car. Matt

This is a comprehensive tutorial on my journey installing 20s in my Model 3. Matt

I would like to see a roll race from 25mph. The 3 is sluggish from a dead stop. It really stays to pull HARD above 25mph.

He worked on the car for nearly 4 hours! Hopefully everything he addressed was corrected. Matt

#1 Charge port door #2 Bluetooth connectivity #3 A pillar interior covers (buckling in the heat) He has been here two hours so far and still working. (Really nice guy)

Tesla mobile service is at my house right now servicing my Model 3. I will keep you posted on how it goes. Matt

Hey Curt, Thanks for posting my videos. I have another going up on my channel tomorrow. I live in Island Lake. Where are you? I am more than happy to show you my car and take you for a drive if you would like. Oh, I already have 7,000 miles on it! Matt

Is it just me, or have the rest of you gotten fed up with the crap alfagulia continuously spews in this forum? Why are you even here? If you don't like Tesla, fine. Keep driving your alfa and go away.........

So, the person writing the article is wrong. The OP should have stated that you have to follow some huge tweet storm to get the whole story. The article repeatedly states that they are the owners. U mad bro?

Uhh, did you even read the article? It was the owner of the car that did this.

This is a video I uploaded last night explaining my Model 3 journey. Just thought you guys might get a kick out of it. Matt

As the title suggests, it seems like everywhere I go in this car somebody tries to race me or at least get around me. I had a motorcycle today try to race me and a modified pickup truck. Neither of them could get around me. :-) does anyone else find that the model 3 draws street races? Matt

I have 2,500 miles on mine so far with a lifetime average of 208wh per mile. I love this car. Matt

Hey Guys, After 2,000 miles of Model 3 ownership, I have to report that I love the car. I have had a couple minor issues, though; #1 My phone was not syncing to make calls (this turned out to be my phone, not the car). #2 My GPS stopped working (that went away after letting the car sit for...

I found a caveat...... Ok, so, it is possible to use an i-pod as a key while your phone is only a phone. However, for some reason, if you leave your phone in the car (phone is setup as a phone/Bluetooth device but NOT a key), the walk away lock ceases working. You must lock the car by the app...

Hey Guys, My phone is a Note 8. It is freaking HUGE especially with a protective case. I have always hated using my phone as a key because it is so big and, also, because I use my car to visit clients. I would rather leave my phone in the car while I am visiting clients. I began looking for...

I am very lucky. I use my car for business. I get to write off 54 cents per mile. So, I make money driving my car! How's that for a blessing? Matt

Hey Guys, As the title says, I have had my 3 for 12 days and have put 1,900 miles on it. I gotta say, this is a very different experience! This car reminds me of a semi-exotic like a Lotus in that it has a bit of minor build/design quirks and overly chintzy items in the interior, but a...

Not sure why you say its not that...... Tesla told me they are relatively sure my GPS antenna is bad because all other systems are working from what they can see on their end. The antenna is one item they must physically have the car in front of them to diagnose.

As the title suggests, my car is 1 week old today (1,160 miles so far) and the GPS has ceased showing any movement on the screen. Tesla support said they can see on their end that my car is not reading the satellites. They will be sending out a mobile tech to look at it soon. First world...

Tell me about it! Oh, Over the last 12 hours of resting, I have seen zero phantom range loss. Matt

#1 About 25% of the time my phone will not pair with the car. It will work as the key, but I sometimes have to manually command it to connect to make phone calls. #2 The new car small is really strong, too strong..... Must be the vegan leather? #3 my steering wheel is not centered (a simple...

Ok, I just picked up my car Monday. At this point I have 840 miles on it (I commute 150 miles per day minimum to visit clients). My other cars; 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid 2014 Ford Fusion AWD (my wife's car) 2017 Honda Civic SI All I can say to start is, compared to the Model 3, all our other...

I saw 188wh per mile today. I love the efficiency of this car. Heck, with ac blasting I still see son 205wh per mile.

Wow, my bad! Tomorrow the 30th......

Interesting situation; After waiting far too long for my delivery date (10 weeks after configuration), I was given a delivery date of this coming Wednesday (May 2nd). I just received an email moving my delivery up to Monday 4-28 instead! Sweet! Matt

Well, I was patient. But, I did check repeatedly. For some ungodly reason, for over a month, no-one knew where my car was. FWIW, I am a non-owner in illinois. Shipping takes a looooong friggin time when you are not near the factory. I am a bit concerned that there may have been a problem with...

Just so you guys know what to expect, my delivery date is next Wednesday (may 2nd). That is 10 weeks after I configured my car. 3 to 6 weeks...... HA! Not a chance. This is Tesla time we are dealing with....... Matt

Hey Guys, I drive a huge number of miles (around 40,000 per year currently) for business. My current car is a 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid. It had been a great car and still is. But, with 184,000 on it, the time has come........ Anyway, my Model 3 should be here in a couple weeks and I am really...

It was a black car with 19 inch wheels. I drive 145 miles per day and this the the very first Model 3 I have seen on the road. I live in northern illinois. There are very few Model 3s here. I see numerous Teslas every day (S & X), but never a 3 until today. I actually got goose-bumps when I...

Cashiers check our ACH payment. No credit cards for the $6,710 due at signing.

Your math is wrong. 10% of $56,000 is $5,600. Then taxes and fees are $4,610. That totals $10,210. Matt

Yup, 6 weeks for my VIN after configuration.

I was quoted $134 per month for the Tesla only (even though I have 4 cars insured with them). I called them and threatened to leave and they cut my total insurance for all of my cars in half! Wow, complaining really works! I am going from over $400 per month for 4 cars down to $196! I cannot...

I will post a screenshot when I am back at the office.

American Family Insurance. I called them a few minutes ago to complain about it. I have a business two houses and four cars insured with them. I told them that they are going to give me a better price or I take all of my business elsewhere. We'll see how it goes. I don't have any accidents or...

For those newcomers who are curious about the numbers, I have my financing arranged and I wanted to share the exact cost for me; Car cost $56,000 (long range, PUP, AAP, white color, standard wheels). $1,000 deposit paid 3-31-16 $2,500 order payment paid 2-22-18 when the car was configured...

Just got my VIN #9302. Illinois, non owner, early reservation (4 minutes after ordering opened March 31st 2016). Matt

I am more patient now than I was 5 weeks ago when Ben Sullins got his invite for his SECOND Model 3 and I was still waiting for my invite.

I can wait. I enjoy anticipation. I have a feeling a huge number of VINs will go out all at once shortly.
