2018 Tesla Model 3 Performance Extremely Low Miles (less than 5500), very rarely supercharged. Long Range, All Wheel Drive Long Range Dual Motor Performance. HW 3.0 Installed, FSD All available options/upgrades, including Autopilot (Full Self Driving computer installed) Black w Black...

I’m not advocating buying anything you can’t afford, but Smart Summon JUST came out, it was just released to the public. I have no doubt a year from now it will be substantially improved vs what it is now. Once they have all this data they can mine, they’ll fine tune it, and I have no doubt...

I had a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk, fully loaded top of the line (sticker was $56k), and where I live (WI) speed limits increased on most highways from 65 to 70 around 2017...I had a speed alert sensor that would alert you when going a certain mileage over speed limit and the laws were...

Just think, 1 year ago, no Sentry, no Dashcam, no Arcade, no NOA, no PIN to Drive, no V3 SCs, AP was a glorified TACC, no lane changes, no track mode, no dog mode, and this doesn’t even include anything in V10...

He also agreed Tesla doesn’t have the correctly fitting parts available yet as this is basically a problem for every spoiler they’ve been installing.... some won’t complain, but prob very few.. he said they’ve been having almost everyone complain about it... he said they had a bunch they could...

Yes he did, he agreed that when I requested it, they’d replace my spoiler.... I have a really good guy that I stay in contact with that’s in charge of all mobile service in my state... he clearly agreed spoiler was not what was advertised nor what I was waiting 10 months for... honestly it...

I’m actually most excited for the visualization changes.... from watching a video on YT, it’s like having a view from a drone following your car... to me this is the most important update to V10 because it’s the beginning of FSD... FSD wouldn’t be possible if the car couldn’t pick up and render...

Can confirm this works perfectly... got 3.1 although my Tesla app wasn’t listed as needing an update.... I don’t have V10 yet, and there’s no window controls or smart summon yet, even with 3.1, but I’m hoping having 3.1 might somehow “tell” the car to download v10 sooner than it would have...

So I have 3.1, but don’t have V10 yet (have a P3D w FSD and advanced updates)... there’s no window controls or smart summon... yet... even when in 3.1... I guess you need to have V10 first.... But thanks for the info your workaround worked perfectly!

Thank you! I just did this and worked perfectly, got 3.10! Thanks again!

Congrats on the 10k, it took me a second to figure out what you were talking about or laughing at, but I don’t think it was personally at me, and I know you wouldn’t care if I did, lol... I love the car, and it’s as close to a car that has everything I want than anything else I’ve ever driven...

My service guy has been excellent by the way.. I asked him a question yesterday and he said he’d send the mobile tech over to talk with me about it, and while he was there he can install some part on the chart port that needs replacing. He also has always gotten back to me right away. Just...

I’ve had OEM spoiler for a couple months... it looks awesome and it’s by far my fav spoiler I’ve seen for the Model 3, but it’s been coming up on both sides about 1/4” and it’s also slightly crooked, and has been this way since day 1... I told my service guy this wasn’t acceptable, considering I...

Another thing, it’s a myth that painting plastic and metal won’t match. You’re not painting over plastic or metal, you’re painting over primer. The only reason they have color matching issues is because the plastic pieces are painted in a different booth/setup than the raw metal. But it’s...

My bumper is a perfect match, and I’ve been a professional commercial painting contractor for 20 years. Although I will agree, quality in general is always subjective. But I personally would never buy a brand new car that was not perfect in my subjective opinion. It has to be perfect in my...

The answer is no you are not being too anal! If you accept this car, I would demand some kind of compensation just for having to take it in and have the bumper replaced. I don’t know about you, but my time isn’t free and this is absolutely no fault of yours in any way. Sometimes you...

MikeR55 That is crazy, I agree. In no way should you be punished for Tesla’s negligence. They are going to push you to accept this car as hard as they possibly can. For one, if you take it, they don’t need to worry about unloading it to someone else. And for 2, they can then sell the one...

Also, two years free supercharging sounds amazing, but in practice it’s a few hundred bucks, unless you have a special case where you’re supercharging regularly. What would you choose before you made the purchase? A car that has a significantly misaligned trunk and needs a new bumper but...

MikeR55 Do not accept this. They will make it right, you’re not canceling an order, you’re rejecting the VIN they assigned you and want another one. They shouldn’t treat you as if you’re canceling your order and abandoning the deal. They didn’t hold up their end, they were supposed to...

MikeR55 Has it been 7 days? I would honestly think about telling them you want a new VIN, if they’re already planning on replacing the bumper. The white color is the hardest color to match, as even cars from the factory have had issues w matching the back bumper to the rest of the car...

As far as quieting it goes, a thin piece of insulation and a piece of black duck tape would go a long way.

Wow that’s bad, so glad I don’t have one of those in my 3. I could understand the reverse noise, but the forward noise sounds like an airplane taking off. I wonder how loud this actually is, it’s impossible to know from watching a video. Is it similar to an ICE? What I’m wondering is...

My advice... do not accept this car as is.... those gaps are way way off compared to my car that I took delivery at the end of the 2018 Q3 rush, which was insane... especially the back end one, that looks just awful! Surprisingly, my car was almost flawless as far as panel gaps, so it can be...

I agree with you there are more important things that could be done other than these games. I felt strongly so at one point. But after giving my nephew a ride and seeing how excited he was to see the “fart mode” I kind of changed my mind. I was one of those kids that grew up with a poster...

It would be nice if Tesla could imprint the speed you’re going on the dash cam videos, if would be helpful for everyone, especially for speeding tickets. Anyways, OP, I feel for you, there’s a reason why they put poles on these blocks, and there was supposed to be one there, probably by code...

Speed is relative, coming from a 90s Dodge Caravan the SR+ is a race car. How fast it feels is subjective to your experiences. A SR+ would feel pretty slow after driving a P3D for a few months, and vice versa. EVs in general have a much faster throttle response time, and there is pretty...

That’s weird looking, it looks as if the tint is separating from the glass, or a layer of glass didn’t get glued correctly. I would show this to the service center or send pics to my mobile tech. This definitely isn’t normal in my opinion. I have never seen this issue in the several years...

Easy way to tell what suspension package you have... open your drivers door (or any door for that matter), look towards the front of the car, in the door jam (or B pillar) and there should be a small white sticker... it will list “performance chassis” if you have the lowered suspension. Just...

You can clearly see the gap is much larger on the left (drivers side).

I agree, it’s totally subjective but in my opinion the OEM looks better than everything else I’ve seen. Also, we’ve already paid for these, if you don’t have a P3D w performance package then I would not buy an OEM either. Considering this is a line item on my monroney sticker, it is shocking...

Thanks for the response @hydro I already talked to my tech, they’re scheduling an appointment to put another one on Monday. Is it even worth them trying, or should I wait until they get another product in? This is way off on both ends. I’m worried someone will get their shirt, purse, or...

I just had the Mobile tech install my spoiler this morning. I wasn’t around so I didn’t get to see how they did it, nor did I get to reject it as it’s visibly coming up at both ends. Love the look, can’t be beat on a solid black car, and this may sound kind of silly to some, but the spoiler...

Don’t worry guys, I have seen Monroneys for Model S’s that we’re almost $170k new. They used to charge you for a center console. I can’t imagine what it must be like for someone who paid $150+ for an S w/o AP2.5. I have to say thank you to any of these people, as at the very least without...

@TORQU3 Thanks for the reply but it doesn’t. They’re delivering new P3Ds w the spoilers already installed if I’m not mistaken, why is it so hard to make a spoiler that fits cars that have been delivered? I know it’s just a silly spoiler, but I picked the color of my car based on how the...

You mean the spoiler I have yet to receive on my P3D, that was ordered over a year ago, delivered over 9 months ago. I recently set up an appointment like I’ve read about, and they wrote me back saying there are no spoilers to install yet. It is amazing to me Tesla cannot seem to figure...

does anyone know where the cabin air filter is located? I always assumed it was under the frunk, but I removed said trim piece and there was no filter. Did they leave it out on my car? Or is there somewhere else I should be looking?

Is there any notes or documentation of this new “tracking” feature where the car that is being tracked in highlighted with a darker color? They usually explain features like this in the release notes. Even then “Model 3 may recognize red lights” feature was included in the release notes. I...

@ibGeek Are you sure? I watched that video and it looks like the car is just darker because it’s closer. If you watch the screen, all cars that are closer are darker. I could be wrong, and I haven’t yet seen my P3 “track” any other cars, and I have EAP and FSD. Granted, I still have...

Here’s an idea for you guys, I would work on this myself but don’t think I’d be able to figure out the electrical. I would love to install a rear parking light ala La Ferrari or the F12, Genuine Ferrari F12 Berlinetta Rear Fog Light For Parking Camera P/N 279240 Genuine Ferrari F12 Berlinetta...

I think when taking all other things equal into consideration, meaning no damage or defects, or any sign of wear and tear; indistinguishable from a brand new car, other than mileage, that buying a returned Tesla is just like buying a new Tesla that you rented out for a week. In that case, I...

I would use the Frunk a whole lot more if it wasn’t so weird to close. It makes me nervous every time, not to mention the finger prints it leaves on my Solid Black paint. I have this fear I’m going to put too much pressure in one place and dent it when pushing it closed. I’ve learned to...

@DBCooper Just curious, as you seem to know what you’re talking about, was there a reason Tesla did this? I’ve never seen it on any otter vehicle I’ve owned. Even the ones that had condensation problems did not have a small hole, they were all hermetically sealed, or at least they all made...

I’ve had large droplets form in all 4 taillights that took over 24 hours to evaporate. And this was not from washing the car or rain.

@CarlK Would do so if guaranteed first batch delivery. I hope you are! When they were first announced, and I had the money, I would have pounced, as this is going to be the best automobile ever made. Not only is it literally capable of snapping necks, you can go 600 miles on one charge. I...

And if this actually is “normal” and a new way of Tesla doing this and better way (to have the lights not fully sealed from moisture), Tesla needs to explain this to the public so we know why it’s better, why it’s happening, and why it’s not a problem that needs to be fixed under warranty. I’m...

Moisture in the taillights reminds me of a late 90s used car w over 150,000 miles on it. Then you get these issues, not expected, nor should be on a 2018+ w less than 1,000 miles on the clock, which was my situation. It’s so jarring seeing it, because it brings you back to the past. All auto...

Wow what a joke, that’s worse than mine! I have the same problem in my $75,000 P3D, in all 4 lights, and I called to get these changed out under warranty. It’s 2019, in 2009, cars didn’t have these problems. I remember buying a brand new 2001 Lincoln LS and had condensation within the first...

That’s a pretty good description of what stain smells like. And I’ve had multiple new vehicles, and I noticed the first second I opened the door for the first time it smelled more like a new house than a new car. It’s different than any other new car I’ve ever had or been in that I can...

Another thing I wanted to add; the smell of stain tends to linger longer than a lot of other things as the oil takes a long time to fully “dry”.

The reason I asked if you have the black interior is because I do. I’ve been a professional commercial and industrial painting contractor for 20 years, and the very first thing I noticed getting into my new car when taking delivery was the smell of the stain on the wood trim piece. Typically...
