I'm trying to locate a powder coat powder that matches the OEM black finish on the Model 3 Performance wheel. I ordered every black or dark gray sample from prismaticpowders.com and compared them to a car at my local gallery. The two that were closest are Evo Gray (5969) and Graphite Black I...

To the top, thanks!

The phone key is incredibly convenient and is in my opinion one of the key features..... I think that it would be more helpful to new owners on this forum to assist them with resolving whatever issue is causing their phone to be an unreliable key than to just have everyone buy a fob and never...

No sorry, my goal is to trade for OE finish wheels. Otherwise I'll just PC mine. Thanks though!

Should mention that I'd be trading my wheels/tires + cash for OEM dark gray wheels/tires.

Interested in trading my 20" silver performance wheels for OE Tesla gray performance wheels in or near Houston. Mine have about 8k miles and wheels are ceramic coated.

The only bonus of not sport steering mode is that it takes less physical torque to satisfy the AP nag. In sport steering mode you have to torque or shake the wheel fairly hard to avoid the nag. The sport mode damped steering just feels more precise and controlled. Less likely for bumps or an...

Sport / Sport... Why use any other settings in a 3P? The only time that I use chill mode is when I need to have some kind of service done, ppf, window tint etc and it's automatically applied when I enable speed limit mode.

Just disconnect the speaker...

It's so hard to know the sensitivity of an online user... It's also difficult to know how often said user posts online when something positive happens vs a negative event. I've had a great experience with Tesla service and will either be adding a Model 3 or Y.. Or X for my wife soon. Get the...

Always clean bird poo off asap. Even if you can't properly clean the car, get some distilled water and mix ONR into it and use that in a spray bottle to wet the area and gently dab the poo off with a microfiber towel and then spray rinse the area. The ONR will lubricate the area and reduce the...

Why does everyone assume that it will apply to existing hardware? Tesla could easily announce 3P Ludicrous mode as a 5k upgrade (on new orders) that gives you more battery and performance. And possibly they will offer the 10k upgrade for existing cars as they have in the past. New Tesla Model...

The cars automatically display release notes that advertise new features.

I'm really looking forward to v10! All of the features are useful, increase the fun factor and more than half were requests on Twitter. Not to mention the core code changes in V10 that will probably be more clear once it's in wide release.

This is just called, blocking the chargers for a completely justifiable reason. To someone that thinks Tesla might be hailing around empty trailers... those concrete blocks are decorated Styrofoam.

I don't intend for this to be harsh, but did you put this much effort into making the initial decision to get the AWD? And did you drive them both back to back? The Model 3 Performance is incredible.. Personal teleportation device is probably a better description. I don't think that it's...

The mobile service tech I spoke to recently said that at-home tire rotation was $95. I'm not aware of a way to know which services are fee vs warranty besides the obvious (something is broken/isn't working). I would however assume that a tire rotation would be more expensive than topping up...

Anyone have a good source for Tesla EE history? Were the current eggs found or just made available by Tesla? Any complete lists of known eggs that aren't in the EE drawer? @dsvick care to explain the significance?

Definitely take the car in and have Tesla review the logs if you feel like something is wrong. If you were to stop on a wet street with no excessive accumulation of oil, so no stop signs or stop lights, and punch it (floor it), will you spin the rear wheels or does it just go? If you have no...

Do it

Pretty interested in this value as well. I didn't realize that the F80 was so stiff, that's really impressive. And the Veyron, they can probably do a 4 wheel rotation with a single jack :eek:

In case the link isn't working, the comment from Elon begins at 57:00 I'll sign up to be a gunter.. I just started looking to see if I could find others hunting for Tesla easter eggs because this comment from Elon has been etched in my mind since the interview. On to reddit..

I think that like most threads on here, this isn't too serious. But ultimately no one really knows how much headroom is or isn't in the 3P unless you happen to work for Tesla and have asymmetrical information. I kind of doubt that they are running it on the ragged edge, but maybe. The easiest...

Definitely a tire rub from a larger vehicle.. No question.

You like the 4 screen tron interior? It'll be interesting if Tesla ever posts a Nordschleife time for the 3P. And then there is the roadster, which by price is more of a competitor to the Taycan than the S. Clearly Tesla can make a great handling car, and I can't imagine that the roadster...

I just noticed that Tesla has removed the Model S Performance version that did 0-60 in 3 seconds and now the Performance S includes Ludicrous Mode for 100k.. So 2.4 seconds to 60 and 345 miles range for 100k.. What was Porsche making again? An outdated garage ornament? Sure the Porsche has a...

The car does not partially update. If it fails, it will roll back. Disable Sentry mode, remove the USB drive and start the update again.

Mine was installed back in March by mobile service and the first fit was perfect. I'm surprised that customers are still waiting for this.

I have both the o-ring and magnetic style. The new magnetic pad adapters from reverse logic are really nice and are my preference. You can visually place them in the hole/lift point and be absolutely certain that they are in the right place. Once you lift the adapter into position, the magnet...

I'm probably going to install one this winter. 90* is totally fine for the car.. If these cars can survive Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Florida etc, they can obviously handle 90* on a tropical island.

Everyone on this build is probably experiencing the same thing. I didn't note the version but a about 3 builds back Summon was working extremely well for me, the best it has been since picking up the car. Then 2 builds ago it was super flaky and would take multiple attempts to get the car...

I still need to try track mode..:(:eek: There just isn't anyplace around here to have fun with it besides the actual track. Now that my suspension is done I'm just waiting for it to cool off some and then I'll do some lapping.

Who else is excited for Fallout Shelter and Cuphead? I recently went on a 1200 mile drive across Texas with my wife and we had a lot of fun playing Beach Buggy while we supercharged using two Xbox One controllers that I keep in my car for such an occasion. It was such epic timing that USB...

Do you know how the Model 3 wipers work? Or more specifically, how they detect rain?

Love the sound the motors make when a SEA event happens.. It seems to happen more frequently when the battery is at a high SOC and there is less traffic. Tesla really needs to !look into it.

Great idea using EV's for this. My kids are years away from driving school but I know that both them and I would prefer a place that uses EV's, especially the Model 3! If you haven't received an answer in a bit I will go test this for you but I'm 99% sure that the brake interrupts the accelerator.

These adjustable swaybar links are a good fit for the Model 3 rear bar and will provide enough adjust-ability to remove preload from the bar at stock or lowered ride height. These were installed for about a week. I have two sets of rear links so I'm selling these. $100 shipped in the US.

I tested this out over the weekend and can confirm that with the steering set to "Comfort" mode, only a slight torque is required. Sport Mode is my preference for driving but requires significantly more torque to silence the nag.

Summon isn't working incredibly well in 28.2 and it was nearly perfect in 24.4. I've had 28.2 since 8/2/19. Possibly this revision merges some of the previously solved branches.

You're going to love the Tesla. Single speed, instant torque/response and loads of grip, perfection. On the topic of transmissions, ZF and others are developing 2 speed transmission/drive for EV's. Tesla originally tried to use a 2 speed transmission and couldn't solve the engineering...

I left mine off after ppf..

For 6k you get the full suite.. How is this a question? Get it!

Very good point. I have mine on sport.

Nope.. It's probably punishing me because I prefer to hold the wheel in a neutral way that doesn't apply artificial and unintentional torque. I've had my car for a while and have been through a few iterations of the AP nag. I have FSD and will be super excited to see some reduced nag...

I actually timed it.. It is exactly 8 seconds from shake the wheel to the start of a nag. This is traveling at 80-85 mph. (Speed limit is 80 fyi). I didn't time it at slower speeds but around 60 it is less frequent.

The hand detection is exhausting.. It just is. Holding the wheel with one hand off-center AND applying enough torque to satisfy the nag is not the best position to be in if a quick evasive maneuver is needed and it's exhausting on long drives. I end up just rolling the volume switch every...

I've noticed that this seems to work in every other update. I suspect that it's fixed in a channel that hasn't been merged yet. It does work perfectly fine for me, on some builds.

It's bearly noticeable
