    Had it with unfounded forward collision warnings; switched to Progressive

    Had Geico for years, then they jacked my rate for no reason. Switched to Tesla and was happy at first. But then my safety score started plummeting (due to driving slowly down a residential street and having parked cars trigger it all the time) and simultaneously they jacked their rates...

    FCW setting and Safety Score

    Cross post from Insurance forum, because got no response there... FCWs are frustrating as they seem often unpredictable/unwarranted but ding your Safety Score and therefore affect your insurance rate. I've read that setting FCW to "early", which makes the audible alert happen earlier, means...

    FCW setting and Safety Score

    FCWs are frustrating as they seem often unpredictable/unwarranted but ding your Safety Score and therefore affect your insurance rate. I've read that setting FCW to "early", which makes the audible alert happen earlier, means you may be able to brake before there would have been a FCW under the...

    No Safety Score showing

    Ever since I became eligible for the FSD beta and enabled it a couple weeks ago, the Tesla app on my phone no longer shows a safety score. Right around the same time I also signed up for Tesla Insurance, but that doesn't go into effect for another week. Any ideas why I'm not seeing a Safety...

    Venting - Model 3 should come with the lift pucks

    Just went to get my tires rotated. I thought most shops had padded lifts and could do Teslas. This place (NTB) didn't; said I need the hockey pucks. I don't have them, so now have to order them, wait for them, and waste time going back in for a tire rotation. Why does a $60k car that differs...

    Passenger window goes right back up after opening door (Please help: Imminent road trip)

    I went out to my 3 today to replace the cabin filters. Opened the passenger door, window dropped down an inch as usual so it doesn't hit the trim. Fine. Moved the seat back. Then the passenger window spontaneously went all the way back up (so now if I close the door it would hit the trim)...

    Does "vent" function actually reduce vehicle's interior temperature?

    When my M3 is parked in the driveway and the interior reads (per the app), say, 104F, and I "vent" the windows, an hour later the temperature hasn't changed. Perhaps it only really works if it's windy out? Just curious about other's experiences. Cheers.

    Tesla account - secondary contact

    Sorry if this is not new, but I logged onto the website today for the first time in a while and saw that you can add a secondary contact... "Give Tesla app access to a secondary contact. Your secondary contact will be able to use the app to lock and unlock your vehicles, track location and...

    VA state inspection in Falls Church / Arlington / Fairfax area

    Does anyone know of an inspection station that knows what they're doing with Teslas and won't improperly jack up my Model 3 (or do something else bad to it)? I'm in Falls Church. The Tyson's service center is supposed to be able to do it, and I had my car in there for something else last week...

    2020 Model 3 and differences from 2019

    The Tesla inventory page lists "2020" Model 3s. I thought Tesla didn't do model years?

    Rattle coming from front right passenger door

    Every time I go over a bump, I hear a rattle coming from the right side of the car. It's apparently coming from the door panel / window sill, because if (er, well, my wife) presses firmly on this spot (see attached pic) it does not rattle. Any idea if this is something I can address myself...

    Correct touch up paint for standard M3 18” wheels?

    I’ve found that Ford Dark Shadow Gray from DupliColor on Amazon is not an exact match for the standard Model 3 18” wheels. Either that, or Dupli Color is not consistent, or I didn’t shake it or something. Bought one tube, spilled most of it, but touched up my wheel and it was a pretty close...

    Bug Report: Immersive Sound constantly turns itself back on

    Full disclosure, this is a cross post from the Tesla Model 3 forum. :) Practically every time I drive the car, I check Immersive Sound, see that it's on, and so I turn it off. But the next time I get in the car, it has turned itself back on. Anyone else experience this? (So annoying. I don't...

    I find the M3’s rear visibility poor

    I find the view out the rear view mirror to be very limited vertically. I’m coming from a VW GTI, which had far better rear visibility. Before that it was a Honda Civic, which was also better than the M3 in this respect. I love much about my M3, but not the rear view mirror visibility. It...

    Has anyone been able to add referral code to M3 non-Perf order placed prior to 10/5?

    I ordered my M3 non-Performance on 6/30. Took delivery 11/19. A couple weeks before delivery I asked my DA to add my friend’s referral code to my order; DA said he submitted the request. I also asked them again at the delivery center (prior to signing) to please make sure that referral code...

    Anyone with pending silver metallic order seeing $1k "price adjustment"?

    I ordered silver metallic on 6/30. Prices have gone up on some things, and come back down on a subset of those. But no prices have gone down compared to when I ordered on 6/30. I'm scheduled for delivery on 11/19. My MVPA has the configuration page upfront showing a $55k total. Then on the...

    The tax credit is the reason I tolerate this awful roll out

    I like many have been extremely disappointed, frustrated, and somewhat astounded by the sh!t show that has been Tesla's M3 delivery process during this ramp up. You put down $1k potentially years ahead of time, then another $2500 months ahead of time (at which point it all became nonrefundable...

    Should I add EAP before or after I get a VIN?

    I'm pretty sure I want to add EAP to my order. Current delivery estimate is Sept.-Nov. Payment method is all cash, so all steps are done. The secret Edit Design URL still works for me. No contact from Tesla. So I'm pretty sure I don't have a VIN assigned. I'm wondering if it'd be better to...
