    Software Update 2018.32.2 3817fdd

    Obviously it should trip, but I don't think it would trip instantly. It takes a good minute before one of my 15 amp breakers trips with 24 amps of space heater load. What's the 30 amp cable? Is it a 10 gauge extension cord?

    Ideal Aftermarket Audio System for Model S

    Interesting. I've also been very happy with the standard audio system on my 2017 MS. I'm not an audiophile, but I do have very good hearing. I rented a Model 3 yesterday to see if I should trade "down" and was surprised that I prefer the stereo system in my S. I've read many times how great...

    So many rattles one after another - FINALLY all gone

    Did you get it fixed? The speaker grills on my rear doors rattle a bit on rough freeways. I can get the rattles to go away if I push on them.

    Transferable Free Unlimited Supercharging + AP 2.0 resale value in the future?

    It may become worth something if the car ever becomes autonomous and part of the Tesla Network as a taxi, but I doubt it, in more ways than one.

    Wall Street Journal Model 3 AWD Performance Review-Buckle Up

    I like the minimalist dash, but that that screen sticking out of it doesn't look very good to me. It would look a lot better if it was set into the dash, like it is on the Models S. The volume can be adjusted with the left scroll wheel on the steering wheel.

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    Water dripping into the trunk from the rear glass?

    One more reason to stick with my Model S. My car sees a lot of rain in the winter months.

    From Models S to Model 3...Wow these cars are different!

    Good to know. I have a feeling I'm more the Grand Touring car kind of guy. My S75 seems fast enough to me, but I'm renting an M3 tomorrow to figure out what car I like the most. The S just seems like the perfect car to me, size wise, excellent handling for a big sedan, beautiful interior and...

    Oregon EV Tax Rebate

    This is a confusing rebate program. Does anyone know how long it's good for? Does it end at the end of 2018? Is the $60,000 M3 eligible for it? Just wondering if anyone knows the details off the top of their heads.

    AWD delivery before the end of the year

    I wonder what configuration would have the best chance of being manufactured soonest if I placed my order soon. I would be ordering a black on black AWD. I'm going to rent a Turo M3 tomorrow and see if it's worth selling my S75 and getting an M3. Hopefully I'll save myself some hassle and...

    Should I Trade In My 2017 Model S 75 for an AWD Model 3?

    come on guys help out here. I can't decide on my own.

    Would you cancel your order if you do not get it by the end of 2018 poll

    It effective raises the price $3,750. Not very much money in the whole scheme of things. I would just consider it the price of being indecisive.

    Should I Trade In My 2017 Model S 75 for an AWD Model 3?

    I test drove the performance Model 3 last week. If anything, I think it's too fast. My 5.5 second to 60 Model S is fast enough for me. I would like to have a discount on my auto insurance for having the "slow Tesla", though. The overall driving experience was similar to the Model S, except...

    I hate closing the frunk

    Just press slowly and gently down, until it latches. You don't need to do Heimlich type thrust to close it.

    Is there a recommended windshield washer fluid?

    I use whatever is sold as wiper fluid. The rainX stuff works fine. Read Amazon reviews to see if people are having issues with particular formulas.

    Red pill or Blue pill? Help!

    Blue is by far my least favorite car color. There's a a few shades and models that are an exception, but definitely not Tesla's. Red for sure.

    P Delivery -- Good News Thread

    Yeah but it's fun to slide the rear around corners. At least until you get the bill for the new tires.

    How to best clean the leather seats?

    Has anyone used Aero Cosmetics Wash Wax All for cleaning and protecting their seats? I really like this product, but I'm not sure if it will protect the seats from drying out and cracking. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X04JRMU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Best product for removing tree sap/bugs?

    Luckily I found another blob on the roof. The alcohol removed it almost immediately. Amazing!

    Best product for removing tree sap/bugs?

    Now ya tell me. It doesn't seem like it would work, but hopefully I find another blob of pitch to try it out on.

    Best product for removing tree sap/bugs?

    I tried the ONR wash and wax quick detailer dilution, but it didn't even come close to removing the pine tree sap that I got on my car last week, but the Turtle Wax bug and tar spray easily did the trick.

    Carwash Method?

    According to this I would think the ONR Wash and Wax would be harmless to our PPF. "While you can wax the film, be sure the product you are using doesn’t contain Naphtha or Kerosene in concentrations over 5%, and also avoid waxes that contain dyes. For best results, we recommend using our XPEL...

    What is the least attractive color for Model 3, from your observations?

    I saw a couple of white ones today. Not a white car fan, but it looks really good in white. Saw a blue one a couple days ago. Definitely my least favorite, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    Warning before you buy a tesla model S

    I was hit twice last year. Needed a new door and bumper cover. Parts were priced reasonably and were delivered quickly, but the certified shop price gouged me and the insurance company on the labor. I hope the "Tesla" body shops aren't planning on charging double the labor rate like their...

    What is the least attractive color for Model 3, from your observations?

    Silver would be a close second choice for me. I originally ordered silver then paid $500 to change it to black after looking around and realizing my favorite car color was black. Dirty black cars don't really bother me. To me a dirty black car looks better than a clean white car. I did pay...

    What is the least attractive color for Model 3, from your observations?

    I prefer black cars. My teenagers and their teenage friends prefer black. My youngest coworker in his 20's prefers black. I don't think it's a youth thing to like darker colors. Maybe just the opposite. I've often wondered if it was a nerd thing to not like black cars. Black isn't very...

    What is the least attractive color for Model 3, from your observations?

    Car color preference is so subjective. It's like trying to discuss what genre of music is the best. It's barely worth discussing. Just get what looks best to you.

    See my tire inside, in a sad way

    I have the same tires. I've had them patched twice by Les Schwab tires. The first time I experienced a flat I called about six different places to find a place that was familiar with patching these tires. Call your local service center and ask them if they know of any near by tire shops that...

    Hi, I’m a short seller

    So you're answering for ShortSeller now? Obviously I care, or I wouldn't have posted what I did. To me it proves what a joke this guy is. Not that most of his posts aren't proof enough, but you know what I mean.

    Hi, I’m a short seller

    I find it interesting that @ShortSeller and @Reality both troll the same three or four threads almost exclusively. They both joined in April. They both have the same short thesis. I'm just wondering if they might be the same person trying to look like two people. Has anyone caught one of...

    Is the Model 3 your most expensive car?

    Obviously we should exclude our Model S or X purchases if we bought them new. In 2010 I struggled with purchasing a used Lexus for $13,000. Psychologically, not financially. I had set out to find one for around $8,000 but I had to spend a bit more to get stability control. Now after buying...

    Elon says AWD and Perf orders start at end of next week!

    I was glad to see that too. I'ts something I don't need and it's another possible failure point I don't want. But To be fair I haven't heard of very many Tesla air suspensions failing.
