I made my 11-day trip to see the solar eclipse in Texas. Supercharging went mostly well with significant waits only at two locations. A few other places only needed about 5 minutes wait time. The worst was at Willcox, AZ. In Childress, it was raining a lot suddenly, and Tesla rerouted me through...

Hi all, I am looking for OEM tires to fit a 2018 Model 3, AWD. First one has AC designation, third one has T1 Tesla designation. They are all the 98W load rating. Are they all essentially the same tire? Thank you. https://www.americastire.com/buy-tires/michelin-primacy-mxm4-ac/p/89901...

Hi Tesla family, I was driving on the freeway today and debris from the truck bed of a truck in front of me unfortunately flew off and hit my car. It caused some minor front bumper damage, and also knocked off a parking sensor. I need some help to decipher the license plate. This is as close as...

Neglected to take care of the car. Dusty with some rain, water accumulates on the rear of the car, lots of sunshine and I guess this is the result. What do you think I should try? I might have to try to do this all by hand. It was present in the past, tried to claybar but that did not do the...

Hi, this is for future reference for anyone curious. My car is stock P3D-minus, tires set at 43.5 psi probably around 60-65 F in the morning. Just myself on the trip, and maybe 50 pounds of supplies. A bit long, but also some information about Yosemite/Sequoia, where to stay, resulting charges...

Hi, I'm heading from Fresno to Orange County after a trip, need to wash all the bugs and gunk off. Can anyone recommend a good hand wash place in Lancaster, Palmdale, Santa Clarita, or Van Nuys? I searched on Yelp but 75% of these things are mobile "car wash" and the rest are junk. I'm heading...

Hi all, I'd like to take the following trip segment (EV Trip Planner) but the driving time is pretty long. So I was thinking of stopping in Visalia/Tulare/Porterville area. Have any owners here stayed at a airbnb or reasonably priced hotel that has EV charging? I do not see any destination...

There is a place near me with Tesla Destination chargers and Chargepoint chargers. The length of the Tesla charger is pretty long. If I parked in one of the Chargepoint slots, the Tesla cable will reach. The reason this situation happened was a non-EV car was parked in the Tesla slot, so had to...

What do you think of reinforcing the rear quarter window with security film? Do you think it'll deter them or it will encourage them to break the rear side window instead because of the failed attempt? Security Film- 12 Mils...

Monoprice 90-degree Apple MFi Certified Lightning to USB Charge & Sync Cable, 3ft Black - Monoprice.com Looks almost the same. Do you know if the fit works? I'm still waiting for them to get me the phone cables (2 weeks) that were supposed to come with the car. Monoprice top; Tesla bottom.

Hi all, happy thanksgiving! Posting here since I think S owners have had more years of charging experience. I'm renting a condo and the city offers a rebate that covers a portion of costs of charger, install fees, permit fees. Installing just a basic 240v outlet probably wouldn't fall under the...

Hooked up car to supercharger, walked away and couldn't seem to connect to car via app. So walked all the way back and saw that LTE was down. Estimated how much supercharger took to charge and came back around that time. Drove off and still no LTE connection even after 5 miles away. Rebooted MCU...

What do you guys think of these issues, and whether they need fixing or not? 1. triangle thing on the side mirrors. I've seen worse photos before with significant gap. This one is present on both sides, can push it in but it will pop back out. 2. headlight gap. Gap above, but almost no gap...

Okay, so I am using a regular lightning cable connected to front USB port (not the Tesla included one because they ran out and will get me some in the future). Every time I plug it into the phone to charge, it will ask to allow access to photos and stuff. Is this due to the cable I'm using?

So I opted to try driving without Creep setting on. I regen to slow down, but still have to brake in the last 2 seconds and then I'm about 25-30inches away (too close?), then press the brake harder to put it on Brake Hold, let go of brake pedal, then chill at the stoplight. Is this how you are...

I notice this supercharging station does not appear on the navigation (does not give slots occupied data). Can anyone comment when this supercharger is not busy? I stopped by at 9am on a Sunday and all slots were full already, but it could be the service center using them for deliveries and...

In reference to this one: Tesla Model 3 Delivery Checklist Can you clarify these accessories: - All accessories (tow hook, microfiber cloth, HUD) - Accessories under frunk mat are present I understand the UMC and three charge adapters, but what are those other things? Thanks.

I've seen a number of videos where drivers with supercars, or high-HP RWD cars in general, accelerate from a stop when going into a turn in order to look badass but ultimately lose traction and spin out. Are Teslas with their ability to control each individual wheel by braking to prevent...

Anyone have numbers for the amount of wrap needed to cover the car? Something like hood needs 48x60 piece to cover, etc. I don't have access to any templates of the car and no car yet to make proper measurements.

Hi all, I need some help with doing things properly for purchasing a Tesla for use as a business vehicle (*not* leasing). I'm a one-person S-corp and will not be transporting people/equipment, but instead is used for travel from office to hospital(s). What is the correct way to set up car...

Offered a choice between factory new inventory (ie 0 miles, not driven, etc) or a newly built car. Do you think newly built would be better since they will have more experience building the car? Or it is somewhat negligible at this point? Thanks.

Hi all, I live in a condo community and many of the garages are detached where they are surrounding the perimeter of the community lot. They have an outlet for the garage door opener and also a general outlet. I spoke with the HOA who said that it (the electrical cabling) probably does not run...

I was shopping at Tesla and asked about their showroom cars they want to lease out to see what kind of discount they would give. The configuration I am looking at is 75D with enhanced autopilot, everything else default. On the website, this comes out to $83200 cash (w/destination fee), or...

Hi all, new to the forum here. I'm planning to pick up a Tesla S in the next 6 months to supplement my ICE vehicle and wanted to hear some advice/recommendations for choosing between the 75D and 100D. I live in Cypress, CA (near Orange County) and my daily round trip commute is about 20 miles...
