My '22 Model 3 Performance had one small intermittent buzz/rattle that worsened over time, plus small rattles in each B-pillar that started recently. Annoying, though hardly critical. Scheduled a SVC appointment through the app - initially it was to have been a Mobile Service call, but they...

Cross-posted from the "Electric Vehicles" V forum: Welp, we're now a 2 EV household...............and the 2nd EV ISN'T A TESLA!!! (ZOMG111ELEVENTY111!!!!)

We just picked up our 2nd EV, and I have to say that Tesla wasn't even in the running. Not because we don't like Tesla, because we do, but because we liked another EV better on balance - the Genesis GV60. Ours is the "Performance" trim, and the straight-line speed certainly lives up to that...

These have less than 2000 miles on them, and are in like-new condition. WHEELS ONLY - $1400 shipped anywhere in the lower 48 states!

Forged wheels, light and strong, wrapped in OEM Model 3 Performance Michelin tire. Tires have a few thousand miles left in them. Wheels are in very good (but not quite perfect) condition…includes TPMS $1600 Located in SoCal

Recently had 2 excellent experiences with Tesla Service - one with Mobile service, the other at my local Service Center. First was an appointment to replace a damaged front parking sensor - a flying chunk of asphalt center-punched the sensor on a recent road trip, knocking it out of the...

Link to the original thread, which should maybe be in a different sub-forum: Thread 'Tesla Model S Plaid vs BMW M5 CS vs Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing' The graphic representations of its acceleration advantage are fun(ny) and what it does on the track despite no actual track mode is unbelievable. 👍🏻

Bravo, Tesla!: Tesla Model S Plaid First Test: 0–60 MPH in 1.98 Seconds*!

I must have set some type of record for energy consumption during my drive yesterday morning leaving Chicago. Left at 5 am and it was POURING, plus super windy and unseasonably cold (hey, it's almost June - why WOULDN'T it be 45 degrees F. and blowing 30 mph in Chicago?!?! :rolleyes: ) I've...

Beautiful set of rotary forged, lightweight TSW Ohm "Lightning" wheels, 20" x 9", 5 x 114.3 bolt pattern Wrapped with 235/35/20 Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 winter tires, in excellent condition (perhaps 8K miles driven on them). This set was over $3K new, but we're moving out of state, so I no...

I struggle to understand why anyone would be obsessed with or care much about battery degradation... Tesla provides a warranty that addresses extreme capacity loss, in the unlikely event that such loss occurs. Teslas use lithium-ion batteries, which like all batteries suffer from some amount...

Interesting clip - short and to the point:

After looking at my car on my summer set (Stance SF03), putting the OEM wheels with winter tires back on the car for winter was a real let down. Don't get me wrong - the OEM 20s are nice, but I wanted something a bit more unique. When I bought the Stance wheels, they were one of the few forged...

Selling my OEM 20" silver 20" Model 3 Performance wheels - set of 4, in excellent shape - no curb rash. $1600 shipped anywhere in the continental US.

One thing that has amazed me in the year I've owned my Model 3 is the amount of H8 and venom spewed at EVs in general and Teslas in particular. From ICE-ing Superchargers, to "rolling coal", to road-rage incidents to internet commentary, I just don't get from where all the ill-will stems...

I actually tried to get grey OEM 20" wheels when I bought my Pearl White Model 3P but they weren't available for substitute at that time. My 20s are about a year old and are in excellent, though not perfect, shape. Anyone interested in swapping for my wheels plus some $$$?

So says the EPA, apparently: Getting Big Wheels On Your Tesla Model 3 Performance Will Cost 23 Miles Of Range

It's good news that it's in the running, but I wonder about a couple of the assertions in the article: https://www.motortrend.com/news/2019-tesla-model-3-pros-and-cons-review Will the full Autopilot not actually bring the car to a stop? I only have basic AP, and it does this perfectly... I...

Has anyone seen a spec for this? It's not often discussed, but impacts every aspect of a car's ride and handling, among other things. To me, the Model 3's chassis feels quite stout, but that could also just be the heft and location of the battery pack... Can anyone shed any light on this topic?

I decided on the spur of the moment to head out to the strip to see what effects the warmer weather and lighter wheels might have compared to when I ran in March. It was a typical "Test 'n Tune", and pretty busy overall considering that it was mid-week. Lots of "Murrican" muscle, both old and...

The answer might surprise you... :D

Pretty in-depth, too, so props to MT for sticking with it to try to get accurate results. One key thing is mentioned in the text, but not given enough emphasis, IMO: Supercharing to 100% is rare, so the x% to 80-90% times are the useful figures. Tesla V3 Supercharger: We Put the Latest Fast...

AND, Chris then tweeted that he's actually going to BUY a Model 3! :-)

As predicted by the many Tesla naysayers, mine has been an absolutely horrific ownership experience thus far (@ 5K miles): -Not a single issue or problem to bitch about. -The car is both faster AND smarter than the day I bought it. -Musk said it would be faster around a track than an M3, and he...

I presume that it will, but don’t know whether there’s anything I need to do to ensure that it’s active... Also, what’s the maximum clip length? TIA for any input.

No bullsh*t, gets the important details right:

Wait - why is the car so cold, and why isn't it ready to go once I fasten the seat belt?? How do I start this thing again?? Oh, right, push button on the dash... :rolleyes: What's all that RACKET?!? Oh, right - ICE, and diesel, to boot... Arrrgghhh - I didn't mean to activate the wipers...

I’m curious about the approximate production percentages for each trim level, but don’t know where to look for that kind of detail... Anyone? Anyone? Bueller??

Just got home from an hour's drive on some slippery, slush/snow covered roads. After 20 years of driving Audis with quattro AWD, a few observations about my Model 3 Performance, currently running Michelin Pilot Alpin tires in the OEM 20" size: First thing I noticed is that the car feels much...

Seriously. I would have ordered my car equipped with these if they'd been offered. I suppose they'll probably make it here eventually...sigh. Tesla Model 3 Performance gets 19-inch "Power Sports" Aero Wheels in China

On the spur of the moment late this morning I decided to take a quick trip to see a friend who lives about 115 miles away to show him my car, which was delivered on 12/28. Pearl White over Black M3P+ (Newsflash (not): He was blown away!) Conditions: Temp: high 20s/low 30s F Wind: 13-20 mph...

I came thisclose to buying an M3P back in September, but blinked and held onto my 2013 Audi S6. Then the price drop happened, and I haven't been able to get the M3 out of my mind since then. Last weekend, on a whim I pinged my sales dude asking if there happened to be a car in my preferred...

2018 Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor Performance Quick Test Review - Motor Trend So yep, it’s hilariously quick, brakes as well as the best high-performance cars on the market, and even without Track Mode, posts an impressively fast “MT figure 8” time.

I'm just about to pull the trigger on an M3P, and am trying to understand as much about it as I can before placing the order... I do a 400-mile each way road trip several times a year. There are superchargers along the way, and the trip planner suggests that I stop at one that's about 125...
