    All Model 3s built since 9/1/2019 have a pedestrian warning speaker installed

    Do you work for an anti-pedestrian speaker company? Lmao No need to reply twice - we get it. You’re emotionally involved.

    All Model 3s built since 9/1/2019 have a pedestrian warning speaker installed

    I basically have to crawl on the opposite sides of the road when children are walking down the street facing away from me, because kids aren’t exactly known for following great street crossing etiquette. I’ve had kids basically leap in front of my car not looking while running to the other side...

    2021 Model 3 and differences from 2020

    All I want to know is - the .1s 0-60 increase in speed for P3D, is that a newly calculated time based on existing builds and therefore not really any faster? Is it result of battery, motor, or wheel changes? Or can us existing P3D owners also look forward to a slight speed increase :D ? Small...

    My Two Weeks Old Tesla Model 3 Depreciated by 10% Overnight

    Aug 2018 P3D owner, I remember Tesla cut me a $5000 check in exchange for giving up free lifetime supercharging after they dropped the price. That was shocking, I don’t know if you’d be so lucky. I’ve used maybe $100 in supercharging so that was a great decision. Shockingly the price of a new...

    Model 3 HW3 retrofit questions, wait time, issues

    Yep. As said you have to turn it on. I drove home from the appt disappointed then realized I was dumb.

    Model 3 HW3 retrofit questions, wait time, issues

    Thats crappy what version is it on? Mine came back with 2020.12.11.1. I lost 0 things that I can tell. Garage door, Spotify, phone pairing, presets, seat preference, map history. I haven’t found anything reset which seems either really cool or odd, or both.

    Model 3 HW3 retrofit questions, wait time, issues

    Here to give a shout out to the Council Bluffs service team. Their remote guys are great. Opened an appointment in the app last week just out of curiosity to see if I was yet eligible. They responded with an appt for today, Monday, at 8am. Got on-site, they had me text them my drivers license #...

    Rear bumper alignment issue

    Just got my rear bumper repainted after someone hit me in a parking lot and I am now experiencing this issue. Repair place, Tesla certified, isn’t being very helpful. I’d just assume fix it myself. Do you have a guide handy? I’ve taken off bumper covers before but would like to know exactly...

    Color choice question

    My opinion is this, as someone with a red - White looks nice but the discontinued silver is much sharper. Dirt looks worst on black. You’re getting a 3 - go big or go home. Red. It’s bright in the sun and subdued when overcast. Let the car breath.

    M3 license plate lights

    To let people know they’re so flush with cash they can spend $30 on license plate lights. Jk. But I think it looks tacky and screams eBay.

    Another dumb idea, pedestrian low speed noise makers.

    Could you rewrite that with more use of caps lock and exclamation points? It would go a long way to helping your point carry less merit.

    Performance Upgrade Price Change!

    I sent two emails a few days after Elon’s initial tweets. Maybe three weeks after that I got two different responses. One saying they’ll forward it on to evaluate and one telling me to pound sand. I responded to the first email thanking them for their time and consideration. Yesterday I got...

    glass roof - production change (July 2018)?

    Anyone know if there are different part numbers for the rear glass roof variants? My tint installer nicked some the rear defrost lines on my back window so that’s been fun. Trying to see if I can use the opportunity to try and source an original rear roof glass piece. Ugh. Thanks

    Looking at the plastic notch on the insert it looks like you could just snap them into place.

    I had one weatherstrip like this - they sent a Ranger out and replaced. New one was good.

    Performance Upgrade Price Change!

    I mean, I guess by that logic Tesla also agrees the P3D- isn’t even worth existing, now I happen to agree.

    Performance Upgrade Price Change!

    Unless some orders also get the full tax credit, with white interior and the prior + package, it is effectively a $1750 sting. But then resale value. But then free supercharging. Great for people moving forward. Not the worst for current + owners. Would not feel great if I was a - owner. .

    Performance Model 3 Snow Tires/Rims

    I ended up buying a second OEM set of P3D 20” wheels off eBay for $1900, TPMS sensors for $150, and am having four Alpin PA4 tires mounted for $1200 - total of $3200 and change. I like the look of stock wheels too much and wouldn’t stomach Tesla’s pricing. Bought a Rennstand with blank plate...

    Vendor 3D Maxpider 10% off When ordering Frunk and Trunk w/ Interior mats!

    Mats arrived today. Lookin’ pretty good! Anti-climatic cause I mean, they’re just floor mats, but they look, fit and feel great. And after seeing what Tesla did for the official mats, there’s no doubt in my mind these are the way to go.

    Ludicrous Mode for P3D+ only or P3D- inclusive?

    To anyone that opted for the P3D- on the effort to upgrade parts yourself - that’s great. Tesla assumes none of this, Tesla isn’t going to test your cars aftermarket parts to see if they meet spec, and with Track Mode confirmed for P3D+ only - I don’t know why anyone would, being honest with...

    Red - paint quality issues

    I had some paint issues on my 09 Pontiac G8. I had them repaint the front bumper and it was a rock chip magnet (hood and flares were fine). It was decidedly the repair work. Granted, everyone’s repair experience will be different but rarely do you ever get a better paint job than the factory...

    Bumper Alightment At Delivery

    I had a Tesla ranger come out to do some misc things (replace taillight with moisture, replace weatherstripping in rear passenger door due to warping defect). I asked him to see if he could adjust my bumper to fit more flush with the taillights. Dude took out the whole frunk area to get this...

    Performance Model 3 Snow Tires/Rims

    Heck my 20’s are starting to look small when I walk up to it. I think I read a review about different tire manufacturers and their sound deadening and the results were basically hardly noticeable.

    Vendor 3D Maxpider 10% off When ordering Frunk and Trunk w/ Interior mats!

    Trade-in hell

    Eh, good luck. I was told by my delivery guy the trade in people were backed up, so just go get a CarMax and they’ll honor it. Two identical CarMax valuations of 14k later, I got 2 Tesla offers of 8k and no good explanation after a series of calls and emails. Ended up selling direct to CarMax.

    model 3 75D..... badge thoughts

    I like the idea of a Model 3 badge to compliment the Dual Motors badging - the font/typeface for any of the Model 3 badges don't seem to match the Dual Motors font, hoping someone comes out with one that does. And even then maybe it'll look off - hard to say. I'm not against it. Typically...

    Model 3 insurance

    Holy #*@! I feel like I won some kind of insurance lottery. I updated my insurance today for Progressive and with maxed out coverages (minus rental or medical) and $500 deductibles it is $399 for a 6 month term - $67 a month. That's for a Performance VIN - though it doesn't seem to...

    What's your reasoning behind your color choice.

    I chose red for reasons touched on above - when it’s sunny out it is a bright red and when cloudy it’s a darker more “safe” red. I had a “Liquid Red” G8 GT and I think the whole cop magnet thing is way overblown. You’re not going to get caught speeding if, you know, you’re not speeding. I...

    Any suggestions to remove tape adhesive from leather seat?

    Yes and it’s not an engine it’s an electric motor, it’s not a gas pedal it’s an accelerator, it’s not an [historically accurate term that in no way hinders the conversation because everyone with common sense knows what is being discussed].

    Tesla would not match my CarMax appraisal on M3

    I have a slightly different problem. I have a 2015 Sonata Limited that CarMax gave me an offer of 14k. Delivery specialist kept telling me to skip the Tesla offer and get him the CarMax offer asap. So I send him the offer on 9/1 - I’m set to take delivery tomorrow or Thursday. Sends me an...

    Performance Model 3 Snow Tires/Rims

    Not only that, aside from traction, it should not even be considered an option. Tires meant for winter can become damaged simply by being at colder temperatures. It should be noted that anyone with summer tires stores them someplace climate controlled. The same is true for winter tires and...
