Purchased these new to replace the stock 20” wheels on my ‘22 Kia EV6 FE. They have about 500 miles on them. The wheels looked great but were removed because I will be selling the car in a few months. They will also fit a Tesla Model 3 or Model Y non-performance with hubcentric rings. Bolt...

They are a dark gun metal like color.

It’s the heat pump. Many have complained and I believe Tesla says it’s normal. Mine does it and it’s annoying.

Anyone with a 2021 Model 3 has another problem. Tesla removed the ability to adjust the regen. Already had one incident where the default regen was too aggressive and led to the car slipping.

My 2021 M3P that was delivered the first week of January has them.

No change on my Model 3 either.

I had the same dilemma when trading my 2018 with Homelink for a 2021 without it. I loved the auto open but never trusted the auto close. Someone in another thread suggested a TailWind add on. It works with your existing opener and WiFi. The beauty of it is that is requires your car and phone...

Are you able to set track mode via a driver profile? On my 2018 Model 3 I had a “Winter” profile that set the car to chill with lower regen. Could the same be done so that when selecting a certain profile track mode is automatically turned on?

Sold

Still available. I will also throw in front and rear 3D Maxpider mats for an extra $50.

It may well be the heat pump or something. I haven’t tried it with the sound off. I never notice it when driving, only when stopped, both in park and in drive.

Recently traded in my Model 3 for a new M3P and no longer need these. The tires are Michelin X-ice Xi3 235/45/R18’s and the wheels are Sport Edition P2’s. They were all purchased new from Tire Rack last year and have 1 season of use. The tread on all 4 measures 8mm. The Tesla TPMS sensors are...

Someone earlier mentioned a Change.org petition but don’t think they did it. That would probably be the best approach. Once the e-vehicle websites and bloggers pick it up it could go viral. We know the only thing Musk responds to is negative press.

I just picked up my new 2021 M3P and I’m having issues with the sound. On the drive home I kept hearing a boomy bass rattle and assumed it was someone next to me. I later determined it was coming from my car. I was listening to a Spotify 80’s list at low volume with nothing that should have...

Carvanna was the lowest by over $1k. Vroom beat Tesla by $300. This is for a 2018 RWD LR silver model 3 with EAP and 19” wheels.

I just ordered a 2021 Performance to replace my 2018 LR. The trade in offered by Tesla was within a few hundred of my Vroom offer so I was just going to trade it in. With the likelihood of no new Performance cars until March how does the trade in work? Will they guarantee the offer or should...

The chime hasn’t worked for me since I received the earlier update. I’m hoping 5.15 fixes it.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for a fix. This has been an issue with Tesla vehicles since they decided to ditch the actual rain sensor every other car uses. It’s been over 2 years and they still suck. Classic example of over-engineering. As others have pointed out this is compounded on the 3...

If you don’t want the repair to be obvious it needs to be sent out. Even if the parts are prepainted they won’t be an exact match. The body shop will need to feather the repair to blend it with the surrounding panels.

Too busy coding worthless crap like fart noises.

Unless something has changed the long press does not work. I’m continually amazed at how far behind Tesla is in this area. For being a tech company that makes cars their “tech” is sad. From auto wipers that don’t work reliably to their pathetic excuse for in car infotainment. Just look at a...

They still don’t work at night. Driving home last night and my manual wipes outnumbered the auto by close to 10:1.

I’ve noticed the car also tends to forget/lose the setting. Mine were not working last night and I noticed I no longer had the “A” icon so I had to re-enable the high beams with the stalk control.

Wait until a steady rainfall.

The lack of a dedicated rain sensor is truly baffling. The auto wipers are practically worthless with any true rainfall. Compounding the issue is the lack of controls on the left stalk requiring you to take your eyes of the road to mess with the touch screen to make adjustments. Tesla has...

This. How hard is it to do a basic car function like wipers? Every other car company has managed to figure it out. Wake up Tesla. Early adopters and fans will tolerate this BS but the average consumer will not.

My car tried to install the update but received an error in the middle. The ensuing message said I needed to wait until the next update was pushed. Anyone else experience the same?

Slacker does not allow custom playlists even with an upgraded account. You can create a custom channel but it operates the same as the free Tesla account.

I’ve never seen a login for Spotify. Are you sure it wasn’t for Slacker?

I fly RC aircraft and would love to get the details on how to connect to the HV inverter to charge my lipo packs.

The OP has been absent from this thread for awhile now. I suspect either he is still in denial and stopped posting due to everyone pointing out the obvious or he accepted the fact that his kid lied to him regarding how he was driving the car.

Doubtful. If you read your purchase agreement I believe it expressly forbids reselling the car.

GFCI circuits are required on all 120v garage outlets in the U.S. Being in Canada your laws may be different. A GFCI outlet doesn’t necessarily have a cover or an obvious trip switch. The trip switch may be located on the actual breaker. In the U.S. a cover is only required on outdoor outlets...

Any dark color is going to show dirt more easily. Lighter shade cars will show less with white being the exception in my experience.

The Model 3 is putting a lot of torque down on the rear tires. Aggressive driving will wear them quickly. My 2005 BMW M3 would wear the rear tires very quickly as well due to the torque. Did the shop provide measurements of the camber and alignment or just tell you they thought it was off...

I’m not into the car wraps but the silver metallic with the stealth wrap looked pretty good in the Like Tesla video. I’m surprised the silver is getting the most votes. Pictures don’t do it justice. The white also looks sharp in person. The pearl effects really pop in the sun. It would have...

I thought you could only transfer a reservation to an immediate member of your family.

I would be interested in the sunglasses holder and phone dock once your son is ready for his school project.

Cars are not painted by hand. They have been using robots for some time.

The VIN does not necessarily indicate an imminent delivery. I got mine last weekend and hadn’t received a call or email so I finally called on Thursday. My ISA called later that afternoon and said the VIN just indicates a car has entered production. He said it would likely still be a month for...

I couldn’t agree more. Tesla is supposed to be a technology company that builds cars. Up to this point they have been in more of a niche market. If they expect to drive people away from their Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, etc... then they better offer equivalent features and that includes the...

Spoken by someone who has probably never owned one. I have been leasing BMW’s for close to 20 years and my maintenance cost is $0. It’s hard to call a BMW 4 series expensive when it is the same as a Model 3. And someone should tell our idiot president that BMW built close to 1 million cars in...

It could be worse. I’ve had my VIN for a week but cannot get a return call from an ISA to activate the Tesla credit link to even be able to lock in the current rates.

My VIN showed up using the HPWC trick last weekend but still no contact from anyone. I don’t even have an active link to apply for Tesla financing. I’m beginning to think getting a VIN assigned doesn’t necessarily indicate an imminent delivery.

It was in the most recent shareholder letter I believe. Don’t expect to lease a Tesla Model 3 this year

Tesla has stated no leases on the M3 until 2019 at the earliest.

Why exactly? There are other, less expensive options for someone wanting an electric car and cannot afford a Model 3. No one is “entitled” to own a Tesla. I didnt come from money, far from it. If I didn’t make enough $$ to afford one then so be it. I certainly wouldn’t expect a company to...

I’m amazed that Tesla doesn’t ship these cars in covered carriers. The local BMW dealer that I have purchased my last 4 cars through only ships their cars in covered carriers to prevent just these kinds of issues.

Same here. I didn’t bother doing the VIN trick until I noticed my edit link disappeared this morning.

I was in the July delay group but a VIN showed up today. Reserved 4/1/16 Invite 4/7/18 Configured 4/30/18 VIN 0242xx assigned 5/26/18 (HPWC) Silver metallic, EAP, 19” sport wheels
