    Center Console Wrap

    I am thinking about getting a center console wrap similar to the link below. But I was wondering how hard it is to install and how it looks. The video makes it look easy, but one never knows for sure. Has anyone tried this and how is the quality of the product? Model 3 Center Console Vinyl...

    Why? I plan to get one of those. But just did the external hard drive to see if it would work.

    Granted it is rather big, but would this work instead of a thumb drive. Just had it around the house.

    USB Dash Cam Questions

    Do I plug it into my Mac first to do this or plug it right into the USB in the M3?

    USB Dash Cam Questions

    Forgive me if this has been answered somewhere else, but I could not find it. I recently got V9 and would like to use the Dashcam. I have read that the USB has to be properly formatted first. If using IOS (Apple Mac) how do I do this? Also, is there a specific brand of USB that works best and...

    Software Update 2018.39.x (Version 9)

    Does anyone know the internet browser will allow for video streaming? I was explaining all of the updates to the family and one asked if they could watch Netlix while on road trips. I told them I did not think so, but figured I would ask.

    Can someone tell me....

    Hey there, I feel like am still new to this even though I have had my M3 for almost two months now. I read a lot about different things on charging and I am not sure what they mean. Can someone please what the numbers mean in the attached picture. I have mine plugged in and set to charge...

    What do you make of this news?

    I wonder if they have so many if they would give one for free. I would go pick it up, delivery problem solved.

    Defrost

    Yeah it is the same for the M3, but that seem to make it worse. Not sure if it did not clear up because it was unusually warm and humid, but I am guessing places like Florida have warm humid days.

    Defrost

    It was a very rainy day in my part of the country. They said it was the ninth wettest day on record and it was a little on the warm side with high near 80s (it is Arizona we will take any break we can get). While driving to dinner tonight we rolled the car out of the garage and while we were...

    Homelink woes

    I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Brought my Model 3 home a while ago and was programming Homelink. My other car is a ICE vehicle, so I need garage door remote still. Programming Homelink went fairly well, but when I did, the remotes stopped working as did the key pad. I...

    3 weeks in, already got chip in center windshield

    I got hit by a rock driving the car home from taking delivery. Luckily it did not spread, and was able to get it fixed by chip repair.

    Software Update 8.1 2018.34.1

    I’m not exactly sure of the number. It’s whatver one was yesterday. It said bug fixes as you said yours did.

    Software Update 8.1 2018.34.1

    Be sure everything works. Got mine yesterday and after install air conditioning didn’t work. It took about six hours but it eventually came back. I was worried because service said it could be days or weeks before there was a fix.

    Should I?

    Congrats on your graduation and new job. I say if it’s your dream car go for it. You only live once. I just took delivery of my M3 and couldn’t be happier. I have two teenage kids and we all fit fairly comfortable. Although I’m not riding in the back. If you find the 3 doesn’t fit your needs...

    Bottom skirt

    im not sure what it’s called but I noticed as I was walking up to my car today that there were some gaps between the plastic skirt and the metal door frame on the passenger side. There were some on the driver side too but not nearly as noticeable. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

    Tesla Model 3 First Drive Reviews

    This was kind of not cool and cool. We took deliver of our M3. Got it to replace my 2013 Dodge Charger. I decided to let the wife drive it out of the Tesla dealership. Anyway to make a long story short, I am now driving her Grand Cherokee.:( . On another note, one of my co-workers took five...

    Charge Port Door Needs service

    Brought my M3 home today opened charging door to charge. Ended up unplugging it to take it out of garage for a minute and got service door alert. Didn’t even have it five hours.

    What did you order RWD/AWD/AWD-P and have you received it yet?

    Gap Insurance

    Same thing for mine. Ameriprise offered it to me for about $20 for six months versus $400 from the lender.
  37. rodrego66

    Any consistency in wait time?

    I configured mine on 7/27, paid my $2,500 deposit and they called me six days later on 8/2 for deliver on 8/7, but because of personal scheduling will not be able to pick it up until 8/11. Had to work quick to get the financing lined up.

    Tesla Tablet/Slacker

    I am picking up my M3 in a few days and I was wondering what everyone's opinion is on the tablet and/or Slacker. More specifically, I have heard their are a lot of different sports things I can listen to. I am a sports nut, listen to many different podcasts and subscribe to MLB At Bat so I can...

    Gap Insurance

    Wonder what everyone's thoughts are on gap insurance. Up until this point, we have typically paid cash for cars so we did not need it. We decided to finance our M3 (taking possession Saturday) so we are debating the need for gap. We are financing about $40,000, and plan to pay more than the...

    Cost of a Model 3 vs. ICE

    You are right, getting a $20K car probably was not accurate, in doing a little research since my original post, it would be more like a $28-30K. So in my case I paid about $46K after tax rebate ($50K plus $3,500 in tax and fees). Using your numbers if I compared this to a $30K ICE I would pay...

    Cost of a Model 3 vs. ICE

    My commute to work is relatively short, just 30 miles round trip, but at times I have to drive across town for meetings an other things. My vehicle is usually the one we take on weekends to different places. In the past, we rented cars for road trips, but might be using this as mileage doesn't...

    Cost of a Model 3 vs. ICE

    Absolutely correct, however, I was trying to compare comparable models. The Honda Fit would be way to small for me to fit in. I currently drive a Dodge Charger and would probably buy another one (or similar size) when I need another vehicle. My guess if I bought a new ICE about the same size...

    Cost of a Model 3 vs. ICE

    As I near the deliver of my M3 RWD Tesla, my wife is having a little anxiety. I have tried to assure her that over the life of the vehicle it would be a savings. But she asks, "why can't we just get a $20,000 car?" I was averaging some costs of the ICE versus the Tesla and while the initial...

    New Owner Questions

    I’m picking up my new model 3 RWD on Saturday 8/11. I’ve got my financing and trade in all lined up. But I’m wondering what to expect when I arrive. Our sales person said a Tesla rep will go over everything in detail with us and to expect to spend an hour with them. But the lady who called me...

    they called today and said it will be read on 8/7. That is 10 days from config to pickup.

    4 days lead time

    I ordered on 7/28, they called me on 7/31 and said it would be delivered on or about 8/9. Called again today and said everything is good to go and could get it as early as 8/7. Personal scheduling conflicts make it not possible to get it until 8/11. Seems like it is common.
