I do like how the package is also Insured. That is a nice touch and appreciated.

Mine are now due to arrive on Monday. I'll install on the weekend.

I use Meguiars Carpet and Upholstery cleaner on a microfiber towel. It has worked for the minor issues I've had.

Just received a similar response. He followed up to my reply that he has had these on his model 3 for the last six months without issues. Looking forward to these once they are shipping again.

Honestly, I would expect the updated software to tell us it occurred. This last update does not. For example, the Model X has received an update specifically calling out the 5% update. 2019.8.2 included 5% power increase : teslamotors

No change here.

You get the power update free. 5%, but free lol. Use the 2K for AP. I just did today as well. Couldn't justify the 5 or 6 before, but 2? Yep!

Recently gave my parents a ride to and from the airport for a trip. Both have leg and knee issues and they did not have problems entering or exiting my Model 3. They also noted they were comfortable sitting in the car during the ride with no leg issues, movement or space. Regarding the...

I'm torn here. I can understand both sides. Sometimes, I'm cleaning the car, plugged in, HVAC on, BT connected, because, quite honestly, I want to not sweat/freeze in the car as I make it pretty and love the sound. I've also left a thing or two in the car and don't need BT/HVAC. One thing I...

Sounds like a 'skateboard' battery design would work well in that case.

Just got the update. Anyone not on wifi get it? I'm on wifi here.

The latest version of Nomad comes with two splitters, specifically for the USB cam. Mine came with those and shipped just before Christmas. Yours should come with them as the Nomad page states there are two USB splitters included. Overall, for Nomad, it is cheaper than the battery backup they...

It pulls power, but minimal. It does not heat the battery unless charging or climate is on. Charging works best.

LR RWD 18 inch MXM4. Just recently got to test the MXM4 in icy conditions in the area, between 10-20 degrees F at 3AM. Not much in the way of snow, but could definitely see icy spots. I went the speed limit without issue. Lane changes were fine. I just slowed down when cars were around. No...

Going to be great having so many more Model 3s in the area. Just saw a red one in my town last week and happy to hear ya all are getting yours soon :D

Just realized what I want as a feature for the pickup. I want to fit my model 3 in the bed of it.

Honestly, with the amount I drive, and comparing gas costs to electricity, and my cost of electricity compared to supercharging and the drive to the supercharger, the install has already paid for itself.

I would tend to agree with this. A typical daily commute of 10 miles in warmish climate? Yup, that 120v 20A outlet would be good. Any commute over 20 miles in a climate with single digit cold temps, or even teens, I definitely suggest that 240 outlet.

Yup. We've also had wind chills in the past year down to -40 F. In the spirit of testing the capability of the car, I want to see that temp change. I don't want it personally for my vehicle, but it will be good to have the experience.

I haven't heard of any kind of heated floor mats and a lot of folks want a heated steering wheel option, but nothing yet. In regards to the full charge, I recommend it because that will give you the furthest charger you could possibly go to, but the navigation will redirect you to another...

Tis my very thought

Did you do a full charge of the car then do a map check at home? Should only be one stop prior to getting there. I would recommend the second just before reaching your destination to avoid issues upon arrival or possible vampire drain there. The major thing will be the heater being on or not...

I'm excited about Porsche's offerings. Not so much the rest of VW's stuff.

Third confirmation of them accepting a personal check :) Good way to do it by the way. Gives you both a chance to inspect the car. I recommend a couple high lumen flashlights to go over the car before handing over that final check.

Look for something like in a BP Amoco or Shell station. I'm from Chicagoland as well and that's where I've seen and used them. Although, I honestly prefer to do the manual pressure wash and wipe it down in the stall

I should add that if the temp is above freezing, I wash outside. But right now, that hose is a bit frozen lol

Honestly, I went with the industrial grade 14-50 outlet, connected my mobile connector to it and leave it there. I get 30 miles of range per hour of charge and that more than accounts for any travel I do. The HPWC would get about 44 for me, but the cost didn't make sense considering my...

I go to a local Jett Super wash. It is basically a pressure washer with different settings (soap/wax/rinse). I spray the car down top/bottom/underneath, rinse it, and use a detail spray as I dry it off with microfibers. Good as new.

I am hitting at just shy of 12K in six months of ownership. That would run me just shy of 42 years, or just about as long as I've been on this planet to date.

I had a separate 100 amp service run from the utility into my garage. 1350 all told, but commercial grade. No digging needed. I have a 50 amp 240 outlet that my mobile connector stays attached to 24/7. I currently have just the one car, but IF I get a second, I will have the second outlet...

I would say before if the issue is them freezing to the spot. However, I found on Monday that just turning on the heat and letting it run about half an hour melted all the snow from all the windows and left very little on the wipers. I'm hoping for more testing opportunity to see if that was a...

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, that is consistent.

Completely understand! This is my most expensive car. I tend to detail her every month, so I know the feelings of not wanting anything negative to happen. That first pull out of the Tesla facility can be nerve wracking. However, as Robert Downey Jr. said, "Sometimes you gotta run before can...

I haven't had a skip on bluetooth. I switch it up now and again and the only skipping I get comes from streaming on the car. I've used two different apps on my phone to play music and neither have skipped for me, thankfully. Currently on 44.2 as well

A used one, yeah. I have found a rare couple out there. Would just be used for work, 40 miles roundtrip. Something to cut down on miles on the 3.

Not a dumb question at all, man. Never know when something like this could save one of us issues down the road. As long as you aren't topping the battery at 100% every day, there shouldn't be issues. I charge mine to 70% during the night, then do a half hour charge in the morning before I...

I have been considering a used Rav4 EV for work. May use tax credit to pick one up, if any are available at a decent price/condition.

Actually, just press and hold the two buttons. I've never used the brake pedal, excepting when I was sitting at a red light. BTW, you can still drive while it resets. Can't see speed, obviously, but just stay with traffic if needed.

Valid point. I like to have my car start charging at 10-11PM as that tends to be the start of the coldest part of the night here. Then hit charge when I get up to warm the battery before going in at 3AM. Not completely necessary, but as I am keeping it around the 80% mark, also should not...

I do something similar. I set the car to charge at 11PM to a certain limit. When I get up, I open the app and start charging to a bit higher limit. I get ready for the day and by the time I'm in the car, everything is good. I know it's not what you are looking to have, but it's the best...

Only the Model 3 here since May. My ultimate test was a cross country trip I make yearly to Vegas from Chicago. 31 hour trip straight through with only supercharger stops. A bit of food and sleep when needed and on we go! Zero range anxiety, 100 percent enjoyment.

Honestly, when I get the load failure screen, I hit the refresh and it comes up. I have done a reset at times as well and that brings up the music again.

Maybe your car is tired of Taylor Swift ? :p

When playing some stations in the car, there are noticeable skips in music as well. It reminds me of the needle hitting a scratch on old vinyl LPs.

Thanks for the vid, but I'll stick with all seasons and report back after winter. I've driven FWD and RWD in snow and on ice when the Midwest had those few days where everything way layered in ice. The tree looked really pretty coated like that. The roads not so much. I left for work early...

If it was only 100 bucks, thats my deduction, so sure. This was above 800. Did the fill by safelite, which would have been free and no hit, but it was just too much that the fill couldn't cover.

Progressive here. I paid the bill, Progressive reimbursed me with a check, minus my deduction. Had a rock chip, filled, but too big and spider legs visible after work. Safelite could do the replacement, but if anything down the road came up regarding the windshield, Tesla service stated the...

I have a vision. In that vision, I see Model S and X getting upgraded with 2170, or better, cells. When that happens, range becomes longer and 0-60 scores become faster. Elon Musk announces that the time spent incorporating the new cells into the S/X has yielded 'surprising' results in a...

I actually keep another key card in my wallet just in case, being a bit paranoid. I bought a third and keep it at home in the extreme off chance something happens to both.

I'll test this with my Nomad when I get it this next month.
