I was clipped by an 18-wheeler Peterbilt dump truck that cratered the left rear quarter panel, including the charge port. I can't insert the charger because the bottom post is protruding. We've removed the plate covering the port. Can I cut the post out? it doesn't look electrical. The...

When we got our Model 3, there was a great thread on installing a charger at home which we did and it works fine. Last week we got new neighbors and he was asking me about charging their M3 and would love to share info with them. We installed an outdoor 240 box with clothes dryer plug attached...

My wife didn't like my window sticker I crafted. Maybe someone else can use it.

Does the dash cam only work with autopilot? We don't have autopilot so is there any ability to use the dash cam manually? The instructions I saw said to format the drive using Fat32 (were on Windows). Does it work on drives bigger than 32 GB that have to be formatted and exFat? Thanks, Reid

Car is about 3 weeks old, so this is the likely time of something electrical not working. The auto dim high beams worked initially, and now the only way to turn on the high beams is to pull the stalk toward the driver and hold. When I push forward, I only get a grayed out icon on the screen...

Are other people annoyed by the trunk? I have an Acura MDX which closes so easily since all you need to do is lower, and it will engage the latch mechanism electronically. No wailing away, no slamming. You think that a $50,000 car would have a more sophisticated trunk latch than a '63 Chevy. Reid

Is there any adjustment for the accelerator pedal so that it's not as firm. I find that it's a little bit stiff and that I start to feel it in my leg after driving for a while. Reid

I'm on about day four with the Tesla. At first, I found the regenerative braking pretty annoying. It felt like driving around in first gear when I took my foot off the accelerator. But then I figured they put this on for reason, so I might as well give the Tesla Way a try. As soon as I...

My MDX has one. My Subaru had one. Our Preius has one. Even the econ-box Honda Fit has a rear window wiper blade, but not the M3! Really? So I got our M3 a present today I can keep under the driver's seat: Rain-X Collapsible Compact Squeegee...

It's 10:30 on Sunday night, and we just got back from having dinner and driving the M3 back from Freemont. Our appt was at 3, but our car wasn't ready until a few hours later, like waiting at the airport for your relatives to arrive. The Tesla center was right out of the Apple playbook...

After some drama with the purchase contract, we are picking up our M3 on Sunday (supposedly). Anything I should look for while inspecting the car or any questions I should ask? Appreciate everyone's wisdom of experience. Thanks, Reid

At the end of August, ordered a model 3 with the Aero wheels because the we couldn't justify the $1500 upgrade given the stated advantages of the 18" (ride, noise, and wear). Granted, I feel the arrow wheels are truly hideous looking, and we were planning on taking the plastic pipe plates off...
