    FS: 2018-2020 Model 3 USB-A to USB-C Retrofit Adapters

    I'll take two if there are any left.

    What's the lowest charge level you've had?

    My unintentional record was 0%/zero miles very shortly after purchasing my Model 3 Performance. I took a 180 mile trip with three co-workers. About thirty miles from the destination the range started to drop fast -later I learned it was because the temperature was dropping fast too. We were...

    Window Tinting In Central Virginia?

    I'm in Charlottesville too, and I was wondering if you ever found a good local solution.

    Dimensions for Tight Garage

    So it sounds like roughly 92.5" wide with the mirrors and 106" long. Interestingly, I did find a site that reports key dimensions here: https://www.cars.com/research/tesla-model_x/specs/ Note that the length they report is 198"! Finally, I suppose the best thing to do is a test-fit. So, is...

    Dimensions for Tight Garage

    My aunt is considering a Tesla Model X and as a happy Model 3 owner I trying to sell her on it. She currently has a Lexus 450h (hybrid) for comparison. One of her big concerns is the ability of the X to fit in her garage. I tried to find dimensions of the X WITH the hatch opened and with the...

    I need some convincing re: M3 Performance

    I daily drive a Lotus Elise SC. For three seasons, it's pure joy (and I've had it for years). I've also had lots of other performance cars -mostly BMWs, including two 850CSis and an Audi RS6 (automatic transmission). Yet I still *really* enjoy driving the Model 3 (Dual Motor, Performance)...

    Shut down with supercharger in sight

    Annoying passengers and In-laws are fair game too.

    Winter driving advice, winter tire choices, etc.

    These are, without exception, all improvements I would endorse. My first winter with the M3 I found myself puckering up once or twice from aggressive regen on a very steep slope. I also found it challenging to climb some hills without going to chill mode. Winter wheels and tires helped, but...

    Beach rental property destination charger

    Agreed! I spent a week at Emerald Isle this summer, as I have for the past 40 years, and this time charging my Tesla was a concern. I managed to get by with a standard 110V feed, but only because others in my party could handle a lot of the driving. By the end of my week, there was enough...

    Can someone sell me on the black interior!?

    I've got both the M3 and an Audi RS6 with a white interior. Both have black-dominated dashboards/trim/arm-rests with not a hint of white. I would not expect Tesla to have differentiated parts for the interior trim pieces.

    GPS signal slow to activate

    Happens to me every day. Lasts about two minutes or roughly one mile.

    Annoying Charge Port - or am I doing it wrong

    I have never had issues with "deep sleep" but I do have walk-away lock enabled and sentry mode disabled. I also do not routinely open the app prior to going into the garage in the morning but I have my phone with me. And in every case, the charge cable is locked into the port until I open a...

    Annoying Seat Memory - or am I doing it wrong?

    I hope they fix this. As it stands, I risk ending up in the hospital with both femurs broken if I can't find my name in the menu fast enough.

    Annoying Charge Port - or am I doing it wrong

    That is indeed an option. But it autolocks now when I go out of range with my phone -which is an awesome feature. So I would have to hunt down the unlock option on my phone ... which really isn't much better than doing the same thing in the morning.

    Annoying Charge Port - or am I doing it wrong

    @TiggerTime ... I am using the Tesla charger and pressing the button does nothing until the car is unlocked by pressing a door handle.

    Annoying Seat Memory - or am I doing it wrong?

    When my phone unlocks the M3 I share with my wife, it seems irrational that the seat memory ignores the presence of my phone and absence of my wife's phone and simply moves the seat to the last used position after Easy Entry is cancelled by hitting the brake. Ideally, the presence of a...

    Annoying Charge Port - or am I doing it wrong

    When I go into the garage to drive off in my Model 3 every morning, I am perpetually annoyed by the need to open a door before the charge port will let go of the charger. Am I doing something wrong? One would think that the Bluetooth LE connection to my phone would allow the M3 to release the...
