One Costco technician mentioned a cheaper Michelin option by going with the 18” pilot sport 3+ a/s. $776 installed, $833 total with tax. But, this requires dropping a speed rating to V. Does anyone happen to know if there are significant downsides or safety concerns of V speed rating (vs...

I'm in a similar situation: I'm in Southern California and so don't really need all season tires. But, the CrossClimate seems to get very good ratings on TireRack. I could use advice (especially of options available at Costco, though I could go elsewhere; Costco has the MXM4, CrossClimate...

I just went on our first long trip this weekend and the same thing happened! Rear vents blowing hot, despite ac on. I googled briefly from the car and saw a post on some forum that said (speculated?) that it was excess battery heat. Dunno if that is accurate, but makes sense to me. We were...

I was thinking of getting those. How good is the coverage in back seat? Is there a big gap between the mats?

Thanks for the informative post. I might try these as a temporary solution. How was the coverage in back? Was there a big gap?

I posted about this issue in another thread. But, briefly, my 2 cents: If you are risk averse, it probably makes sense to wait. "Real" (i.e., level 4-5) FSD is a long way off. Tesla's incremental FSD features might be underwhelming at first, and could easily get delayed quite a bit. You...

Haha. Definitely heard that one before! :)

Wow, how are people driving so efficiently? I'm at 269 Wh/mi over the first 400 miles (LR, 18" aero wheels at 44psi). I'm coming from a Prius, and thought I was driving pretty efficiently... (at least it worked well for the Prius...) But, I'm having trouble bringing my average down. I'm in...

I had been using standard, but tried comfort today and liked it more than I expected... I might stick with it for a bit!

Also just got 39.7.1...

It is a very difficult question, which I thought a lot about. Much is unknown, most importantly the future cost (which will probably fluctuate; eventually hardware prices will come down and Tesla may adjust prices to boost demand at various times). My personal conclusion: If I were risk...

We got our car very recently. No update so far. I'm still on the original software, 2018.32.7.

Nope. But the sound definitely comes from the rear. Maybe I'll try putting the seats down and see if it is louder.

It is a high-pitched squeak/squeal. It does not sound like a motor spinning up. It seems to be totally related to high throttle (like Kirby64 said -- above half or so). It is loudest when I floor the car and goes away the instant I let off the throttle. It kinda bugs me (the only thing...

Thanks, I really appreciate it. I was worried there could be something not quite right... so this is reassuring. I definitely noticed a whine when we test drove a Nissan Leaf, but I didn’t notice it in the model 3... but maybe I didn’t accelerate that much... and I was paying attention to the...

We just took delivery of a blue LR RWD Model 3 today! Reserved in 2017 and ordered in August. Overall, the experience was great. I was at the "dreaded" Costa Mesa, CA store that people complain about, but they were very nice and didn't rush us at all. (They were late for our appointment...

Got a delivery text and scheduled pickup for this weekend! Reserved in 2017, ordered mid August. RWD. Vin 102xxx I didn’t hear a peep from anyone until today... other than the website saying delivery estimated “late sept”. no vin, nothing. I was going to call this week to follow up, but no...

Haha. :) I appreciate all the responses! I don't need my kids need to be pampered, and I don't need a "cadillac" soft ride. But, a Model 3 is a big purchase for us, and I'm hoping it will be our main car. I don't want to end up feeling like "boy, I wish I had a different car for long trips."...

I've been following the Model 3 for a long time, and would like to make a decision about whether to pull the trigger on a model 3LR soon. I am coming from a prius, and interested in getting a high quality, modern EV. (I also looked at the Leaf and Bolt; but in most ways the Model 3 seems...
