    Rear Quarter Panel Damage Assessment

    Well I just backed into a tree and crumpled the driver side rear panel and lights. Entire panel is riveted and glued and all had to be undone to rivet and glue new panel. Entire rear end had to be taken apart to do this and then put back together. I looked while they were doing it and it’s true...

    New Model Y Very satisfying but NO HOMELINK

    Just traded in my 2018 Model 3 Long range AWD for a Model Y long range AWD. So I am a repeat Tesla buyer. The buying experience has vastly improved and the COVID safe process took 30 minutes and exceeded my expectations for efficiency. Drove the 2.5 hours home and liked what I had. Tight, nice...

    Rear window crack

    My rear window has developed a crack near where it inserts into the trunk area. I've read about this on the forums. The good news is Tesla agreed to replace the window under warranty. The bad news is that I have to drive 1.5 hours to a service center to get it done, get a loaner car and then...

    Largest concern about buying a model 3

    OK here are my thoughts. I received my Tesla in October of 2018. It has been among the very best cars I have ever owned. A joy to drive every day. In my view if Tesla stumbles they will be acquired very quickly. Their technology and largest network of chargers in the USA are way too valuable for...

    "Car not Safe to Drive-- Pull over Safely"

    I have a new model 3 with no problems and I’m sorry you had a problem. Years ago I had a brand new Mercury Villager with a Nissan engine that these vehicles had. It failed in a few months and Ford replaced the entire engine. Uncommon but it happens.

    Winter Driver: Extremely hazardous

    Apologies in that I am a new Model 3 dual motor owner (October 18). I live in Milwaukee and it has been a horrible snow filled below zero winter. My approach to this as I have learned the ropes of this car have yielded an outstanding winter weather AWD car: 1. I bought Michelin snow tires for...

    Cold. Cold. Cold. Strange / Interesting screen reading.

    I’ve lived through the more than 20 below weather in Milwaukee all week with my new Tesla 3 dual motor car parked outside. I do have a Tesla charger and left it plugged in all night. The charging itself warms the battery. Early in am I increase the limit to restart charging and turn on climate...

    Model 3 review - After moving from RWD to AWD

    This is a great story thanks. I’m on my third month of an AWD dual motor Tesla 3. It is absolutely the best driving car I have ever had. Solid sporty, tight driving with acceleration in sport mode that is surreal. Personally I like the black seats but I’ve seen one white seat car and it’s pretty...

    Just left the Dedham MA SC - People were loosing their *$@t

    LOL I am from Massachusetts but work in Milwaukee and took delivery of my model 3 here in Wisconsin (Chicago suburbs nearby). I feel grateful to have gotten this fantastic car and I have figured out on my own via this column and other internet sites a variety of glitches that are not really...

    Daily charging/topping up the battery (even only to 80%) could be very bad

    I am a new Tesla 3 owner and this has been useful. At the end of the day I walk away with: Don’t charge up to 100 percent unless going on a trip Charge up to 75 percent and ideally run down to 25 percent before charging up for normal weekly use. Correct everyone?? On another note don’t run...
