I researched different solar equipment and DIY options along with solar installers. I wanted to understand everything before I bought and installed it. I ultimately decided to purchase my own equipment after consulting with various solar people in the field. I got an optimized lead-acid...

This kit has the front trunk and rear trunk seals for the Model 3...

This kit has the front trunk and rear trunk seals for the Model 3. I cannot vouch that this will fit the Model S especially the trunk. I didn't see a Tesla Model S noise reduction kit from the same vendor...

You cannot compare a 2016 Model S (especially a 75) with a 2018 Tesla Model 3. The batteries are completely different and expectations of battery life should be different. The Model S and Model X in the earlier years were more like practice cars for Tesla. The core of the Model 3 is greatly...

His loaner was most likely an early VIN with the roof noise issue. The mid 2018 Model 3s and later were quieter. Sometime in 2019, Tesla made the Model 3 much quieter still.

Clicking the camera button should show the main camera for the direction you are heading by default (main front camera if in drive, rear camera in reverse). And then, ALL the cameras should be available to select from on the sides of the currently shown camera. Similiar to Sentry mode replays...

Spoken like someone who has just driven in smaller cities with obedient drivers :). Once you start driving in the really large cities all over the world you will understand that you can sometimes feel scared driving 10 MPH over the speed limit when everyone else is going 15 to 20 MPH over the...

My car detailer recommended not using this product unless the car is wrapped. They did not recommend the product for Ceramic Pro or non-treated cars due to potential scratching and swirls.

As a former Ford Mustang GT owner, I would not say answering which is better built is a simple answer: CORE CAR: If the Tesla Model 3 is built to spec (i.e, no bolts and steps skipped to make a quarterly earnings report), then the core of the car will be MUCH better than what Ford or even...

In the DC area, I have both my summer and winter tires set for 42 PSI, if I am looking for better range then 45 PSI would be the max I would increase them to. I have 19" winter tires Pirelli Sottozero 3 and 20" summer tires that are the OEM Michelin Pilot Sport 4S that came with the Tesla Model...

Yes, this is common after an update. Every time you update either the Tesla software or your phone I recommend deleting the phone as a key and adding it back. It isn't always necessary but removing and re-adding the phone as a key solves issues such as the car being slow to recognize you at...

I think you are going about this the wrong way. Why don't you just have the cars share a connection? The Tesla cars can share a connection using the Tesla wall chargers since the Tesla wall chargers are smart and will share the connection appropriately. Do you really need to charge all 4 cars...

Didn't happen to me. But, based upon experience, I would give the car 2 to 3 drives to finish any necessary updates. It may not yet have fully updated or finished tuning. If it doesn't work after that, then maybe some updates are failing or some other issue is going on that a service request...

Over time you will adjust. I can drive like a grandma or a pro racer in my P3D. Once you get used to Regen braking and the throttle response you will be able to drive smoother and adjust your driving style to get along with other drivers easily. You can have fun when it is safe to do so...

Does your Tesla phone app say Unable to use location services? Is this an iPhone or Droid? If the Tesla phone app is unable to use Location Services then you need to go to the app specific settings on the phone and allow the Tesla app to use location services.

Without doing any scientific tests and just driving around town manually in over 100 degree heat and rush hour traffic, I have to say the changes in Wh/m are very noticeable. When you are mainly driving at constant speed manually there does appear to be a much more efficient algorithm being...

From reading your post, it seems like the root problem is that your Tesla Model 3 is not responding to your initial click into drive (or reverse) because it is taking time to respond to the pulling of the stalk. The root cause sounds like it is taking time to recognize your phone key to...

2 words, "Hey Siri". I do everything using the steering wheel right button to go to the next song or voice commands while driving. I talk directly to the iPhone to all of the above.

Are you sure the reason they have not been rolled out with 2019.16.2.x is because you already have these features? Are these only being rolled out to cars that don't have AutoPilot enabled? My initial understanding is that those would be rolled out to non-AP enabled cars only but that would...

I figured it was the 20" tires, lowered suspension, and warranty concerns. I am really disappointed and I was counting on the tow rating so I could receive the "tow mode" software and warranty coverage. Especially, since the first spy photo was a Performance Model 3 from last July...

Are you using your phone to unlock the car and for drive authentication? If so, it is a good idea to unregister and re-register your phone after every software update. I had the same problem after updating to 2019.5.15. I unregistered the phone and registered the phone and everything is good...

According to Tesla, those that bought EAP will get Advanced Summon. The other features of FSD like traffic light detection, the current answer is EAP won't have those options.

Yeah, I had no bass for a while. It has recovered somewhat, but the back speakers still don't sound as good as they should. The biggest problem I have is I have to wait a while after entering my PIN to be able to move the stalk into Drive or Reverse. It takes up to 20 seconds before it will...

If Tesla would like to make up the almost 1 billion in cash it paid out recently then My mostly conservative cash inflow estimates for the next 2 or 3 months: * Model Y deposits: $130 million = 130,000 x $1,000 (could be more, could be less given early registrations didn't give you much as far...

Unfortunately, with AutoPilot you have to be ready to hit the brake or the accelerator at any time. It requires constant monitoring. Anytime that I feel the car braking in a way that a fellow human driver would not expect or appreciate I immediately hit the accelerator a little to override the...

You may wish to post a picture. The vegan leather seats won't wrinkle like leather, so this may be a defect.

I was looking for recommendations for a tire inflation/deflation device for my Tesla Model 3 Performance. Primarily, I would like a device where I could set it to 45 for when I go on longer trips and the pump will automatically match that tire pressure by either inflating/deflating the tire...

Don't you contact Liberty Mutual the Turo insurance company instead of Turo?

I found that the brakes on the Tesla Model 3 Performance oxidize quickly especially if you clean the car and leave them overnight. The brakes are noisy at slow speeds like backing out of the driveway. I just hit the brakes at say 20 MPH or over to clean the brakes off until the rust is...

What brake fluid is recommended for the OEM brakes for both the street and track? For street driving, the brake fluid is adequate, but I heard the OEM brake fluid quickly becomes a liability at the track.

Unfortunately, the reality of AutoPilot/Tesla Software Updates means that if you want to be safe, you should not automatically install a Software Update without gathering feedback from various forums about how the changes will affect the various AutoPilot suite components. NOA, AutoSteer+...

* Navigation on AutoPilot (NOA) over the past couple of versions (2018.46.x and 2018.48.12.1 does not seem to be as adept at changing lanes as earlier v9 versions. One time NOA would not change lanes to the left when there was no car closer than 60 yards. NOA is still not adept at changing...

The price does not appear to be raised to me. I think you selected the AutoPilot option on the website which raised the price of the Telsa Model 3 Performance on the ordering page.

For a Tesla P3D+ (Performance Upgrade Package - 20 inch tires), I was able to achieve around 260 Wh/Mile consistently at 75 MPH with the A/C set at 70 on a cool night so the A/C was not working that hard. This was achieved by using AutoPilot and TACC for 95% of the driving on the interstate...

There are alerts for exceeding the speed limit available on the performance. Like was mentioned earlier, leave it in Chill Mode if you don't want to go so fast.

My DBM is in the 7xxxx range, I just got my VIN today

I believe they built a batch of P3D+ Deep Blue Metallic with black interior that are sitting around in a lot somewhere. But, the delivery team has not processed them yet. I got prompted for loan information for mine, but no VIN yet. But, I am on the East Coast. What range is your VIN?

OK, the loan application came up tonight, there is light at the end of this tunnel. Hopefully, the light is two perfectly aligned P3D+ headlights. P3D+, Black Seats, Deep Blue Metallic Reserved 03/31 10:15AM eastern ordered may 23

I am East Coast near Washington DC. Metallic Blue paint, I know Tesla has been making other P3D+/Black Seats with Metallic Blue paint this week, so we shall see.

I was one of the first to put in a reservation on 3/31/16 (must have been in the first 6,000 to 10,000 worldwide) and put in the order on 5/23/2018 (the $2,500 deposit that is) and I have not gotten a VIN assigned yet. I called Tesla and confirmed that no VIN has been assigned yet. So, rest...

Congrats! Enjoy your new toy! I am hoping mine comes off the line this week and will be on the same train.

Good news! I am the same configuration and one of the first people to register on Mar 31 as a non-owner. Let's hope we both get a call this week, although I don't trust my luck so much.

What is your paint color? I assume black seats :)

Don't want to kill your dreams, I hope you get yours before mine (as long as mine is delivered the next day :))

Supposedly, the "Edit Design" will disappear if you choose Cash or if you have the option, you enter all of your loan information as @Big Ern can now do. A disappearing Edit Design button just means they have all of the information they need from you, nothing more. If @Big Ern can enter his...

I think they just streamlined the web interface. I don't think the Prepare for Delivery means anything. I got the same screen. No sign of progressing to the next step for me yet. I won't be in the first batch of black seats more than likely, but I should be in the first few batches of black...

Sure we can complain :)

You have a Plan B, correct? :)

You may end up getting your VIN after it has been shipped to Birmingham, AL. Hopefully, the Birmingham AL stop also services Philly as well as DC; otherwise, it would make more sense for Tesla to ship you a different VIN.

I am in the same boat with the exception of being a previous owner. I did about the same steps you did with the configuration but I made my last change on July 14th to final P3D+ Black Interior with Blue paint. My timeline says Aug-Oct. IMHO, I think your car will be delivered about the same...
