How are you so absolutely sure that the HW3 is included? Even the Full Auto upgrade that I bought mentioned that it was a software upgrade when available when purchasing. It did not make any mention of the hardware upgrade. Since I upgraded from EAP to Full Auto on my Performance M3 for $2000...

My PM3 is used as an everyday commuter and it excels at the fun factor. However, I have a backup SUV gas guzzler that is super reliable. With a significantly reduced range compared to the stated range and possible reliability issues along with inconsistent service experiences, as well as cold...

I just got Email from Tesla notifying that they are sending Odometer paperwork for a Title as well.

I agree that the model 3 performance tend to fishtail occasionally on snow more so then any other 4 wheel vehicles that I currently own. And it happens without any warning but luckily it instantly corrects itself and go about business as usual. I had to also put it in chill mode and steering...

I purchased P3D+ model back on Sept 2018. Paid 100% in cash during the delivery date. Tesla has not sent me the title to the car as of yet. Contacted them and they are still researching stage. What car company does that? I am being patient but this seems dysfunctional to me.

Here is my P3D+ at local ski resort this morning. Nice powder day! Wheels are from Vibe Motors from Savini SV F1 model 19 inch x 9 rim with Michelin Alpin 5. Initially the rim was not properly drilled but Vibe Motors and Savini worked together to have it solved. Now I can fully recommend...

I hear these sounds routinely on my P3D+. During supercharging, during routine driving, and just as I pull out of the driveway. Its like a thunk and pop and snap and so on. Some are quieter and once in a while little louder. Currently, I just accept it as part of the normal process since it...

Being an owner of P3D+ since the end of Sep 2018, I have to say that I am a very happy owner of one. I love the acceleration and handling of the car as well as the styling. I am one of those lucky guys that have charging at work. I use my car for daily driving mostly highways and also to...

I am also in the camp of we should be getting close to the advertised miles of 310 under normal driving condition. It would have been nice to have a bigger battery capacity for the performance version to be able to get the rated mileage. I get 320 wh/mi average during the winter and about 300...

Hey, why argue over preferences! I am just glad the software allows both functions. I am glad they are not forcing down our throats someone else's preferences. We are all different and there are pros and cons to each choice. I am glad some of you guys are not the one making software...

I wonder how much premature window motor failure there will be because of this constant usage. I do agree to preheat the cabin is a band-aid and not a solution since not everyone has a chance to adequately pre-heat in certain situations, nevermind about, additional efficiency loss during the...

I understand your frustration. Hoping that Tesla will accept this as faulty design and fix accordingly. I live in a colder climate with more snow. So far I have not experienced this because my car is usually in the garage during the starting point. I have yet to have it openly exposed to...

I noticed a clicking sound coming from the charge port door every few seconds since the new update. I did not notice that before and I thought this would cause wear and tear somehow. It would be nice to know if this is a common faulty component or if it is indeed normal behavior. By the...

What is your current average Wh/Mile with the new setup?

Is that size front and back , 255/40R19. Also what offset did you have on your wheels? Do you have any spacers? Any rub in the front when aggressively turning right or left? Just curious because this was the size I was also interested in getting. Do you have any clearance issues with the...

The difference is that you have to prep for a launch control. With P3D+, you just hit your accelerator. While you are prepping for launch control your already gone with Tesla. Launch control will be good for drag racing. Normal street use, P3D+ wins out.

Personally, I think P3D+ has a perfect amount of street useable instant acceleration for everyday use without being dangerous. Very useful instant torque on entering highways and passing other cars. I love driving it every day without being too obnoxious to others sharing the street. As far as...

Currently, Vibe Motors is reworking my Savini wheels with Savini to have properly fit my P3D+. First time around it did not fit because of the improper drilling that did not clear the 3mm lip even though I did proper due diligence. So much work sending it back and having to remount. It took 2...

My problem was defective Charger provided by Tesla. The mobile unit came and tested and changed the defective charger. No problems with my wiring. Thank you for thinking about it.

Owners with performance model 3 with the performance upgrade need to be careful about working with aftermarket wheel sellers as of yet. I am currently working with VIBE motors and Savini Wheels and asked all the right questions about the fitment to my specific vehicle and the existing 3mm lip...

I got confirmation but no check thus far.

I am more alert using EAP especially the NAV on AP then I am just driving on my own. NAV on AP is a dicey experience so I have to be able to immediately take over. The only useful aspect of NAV on AP is that it may remind you when you need to exit and that is about it. I only continue to use...

I am still waiting on my Title on a fully paid cash transaction on Sept 28th, 2018.

Anybody hear any news about when we will get our spoilers and badging for prior purchases?

I offered to take FSD in exchange for $5000 refund while keeping FUSC. Tesla customer service replied this option is not on the table and that I have to give up FUSC in exchange for $5000. They also clearly stated that there will be no tax refund. Of course, I opted for $5000 for now. We will...

My tendency is same as you. I tend to steer toward the direction that the car should take but I will occasionally apply more torque than the car wants and causing the AP to disengage. I also tend to just anchor with one hand near the bottom of the wheel with a light touch to keep the AP nag...

I have been routinely using AP everyday since my commute to work is mostly on highways. I was thinking about how Tesla has implemented torque sensing and realized short coming of their implementation. Instead of sensing Torque that is consistent with active smart engagement it is looking for...

I am one of those buyers of P3D+ model with all upgraded features including white pearl paint and white seats and EAP except FSD. I would be happy if Tesla would just let me keep FUSC and would upgrade to FSD for a win-win situation instead of refunding $5000. This would save Tesla some money...

Hey, thanks for the education. Your explanation is correct. Way slang works are if it becomes popular enough it gets added to the dictionary sometimes. Also during blogging on the internet short forms are sometimes popularized to expedite communication since it is not an exercise of perfect...

Your right, it is usually spelled as you have stated. But if you were more open-minded you would have known that Torq is an alternative spelling for Torque. I am sure you are a much better user of AP than me, but I believe there definitely can be some improvement to the current version so that...

The thing about model 3 AP is that to comply I have to pay attention more to the computer screen then the road ahead while driving. I am constantly glancing at the computer screen to make sure there is no blue warning while driving because the wheel torq sensor is not sensitive enough...

I would agree automatic disengagement of AP is not always the safest. It does actively deter people that abuse AP but in situations that the driver has a temporary emergency situation such as brief seizure activity automatically disengaging AP will lead to fatality whereas it might have given a...

I received 42.8 update this afternoon. However, my menu that says track mode is grayed out and not selectable at this point. Maybe I am not meeting some condition that needs to be met before I can select the track mode. I was in park and supercharging when I was looking at the menu.

My experiences with AP is very mixed. It is not reliable enough even with the latest updates to trust it yet it is sensitive enough to accidentally turn off the AP feature while driving, It would be nice if the wheel actually detected hands on the wheel instead of needing to detect torq. I...

Your right narrower tires probably perform better on the snow. But that was not my question. I don't have a narrower choice with Nokian WR G4 at 19 inches with a similar diameter. Also, I wanted a compromise of all-weather traction and performance not just snow. Anyway, I was just trying to...

So does 255/40/19 setup with 19X9 inch wheel square set up clears the front and no problems everyday driving? I was thinking about the Nokian WR G4 wheels for the winter setup but only comes in 255/40/19 and no 245/40/19 is available.

How do you like your Nokean WRG4? I was also very interested in this tire for the winter swap out.

Hello, does anybody know for sure whether 255/40/19 Nokian WR mounted on 19X8.5 would be stable and have no rubbing issues with the fender on the front on Model 3 Performance? I cannot find any 235/40/19 or 245/40/19 here in USA online. I know the back is not an issue but would there be any...

They have a great product overall despite all the shortcomings that are discussed in the forum. Hope Tesla can polish all other aspects of their delivery and service process to really feel like you are dealing with a top notched company rather than a simple startup. They are too big to act...

I did have the purchase docs, I had all the evidence. Just not a sign of Title. I am not that worried and I will be driving and enjoying every minute. Just another fact to keep in mind and so far even Tesla is not able to answer this question. If Tesla nor DMV can answer this question that...

I checked with NV DMV while registration today and they said Tesla has not filed the title with them yet so they are also clueless at this point.

I have to say I am one of those P3D+ buyers that spent countless hours researching about the model 3 before taking delivery with some faith on Sept 28th. Less than a month later this $5000 drop occurred. There were enough delivery shenanigans and poor services like not getting the...

I have finally received the registration packet and successfully registered with the state of NV DMV. I did have to pay additional taxes that Tesla did not fully collect since it was the higher amount in Reno, NV. Of course, it was just outside the 30-day window in which time I had to stop...

Finally, Tesla delivered my registration packet and I was able to register, but of course, just outside the 30 days window. But I am thankful they finally got around to it. Only thing is they did not send me my title of yet, and nor does NV DMV have any record of yet. Called Tesla and they...

This is what you get when you have the 20" wheels from Tesla: 4 x 20X8.5J Sport wheels 4 x 235/35/20 – Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires 4 x tire pressure sensors 4 x Tesla logo Sport wheel center caps 2 x rear upper fore links This package includes rear suspension adjustments to optimize ride...

To clarify, I am just asking if there is any harm downsizing to 18 or 19-inch wheels with the performance model with performance upgraded wheels and rear suspension setup.?

I currently have the same issue. No registration packet sent to me and no way to register because of it and I took delivery September 28th. Today is the end of 30-day window. Tesla delivery specialist has been contacted without any effect. This is ridiculous!

Does anybody know if there are any geometry changes happening if 18 or 19-inch aftermarket wheels are added to the P3D+ model with a slightly different setup with performance brakes and the suspension linkage needed for the 20-inch wheels provided by Tesla? I am just asking this question out...
