    Unplugged sway bars

    Those are my settings. Actually, was recommended by another forum member that does some track time. I can tell you that over the last 6mos of taking the 3 through more and more daring turns at higher speeds, I’m extremely impressed! The 3 sticks to the road and body roll is neatly...

    Model 3 owners getting screwed over?

    I don’t know of another car company that upgrades the systems for better performance, overall.....for FREE! All done OTA, no appointment needed AND, offers hardcore upgrades for a relatively minimal cost. If you know of another auto company, let me know. Cheers!

    HW3 Upgrade

    I accidentally had HW3 installed in my 2018 Model 3. (Service appointment for other than, 052220). Took 4 hours, everything worked better than expected. No loss in ANY saved configurations. Graphics crisper, USB for Sentry clips is now formatted in vehicle. Clips accessed in vehicle (HUGE...

    How noticeable is the acceleration boost from a dual motor long range to a performance Model 3?

    Drove a friends P. A slight noticeable difference. I really was hoping Tesla would offer the acceleration upgrade and was strongly considering it PRIOR to driving the P. Now, not so much. Sure, it's "cool" to tell someone your "rated" 0-60 time or maybe a prospective future buyer yet, I just...

    For AWD owners wanting a P3D-

    Well it appears that all this talk of "bin numbers" was for naught. Got my invitation by email to increase acceleration to 3.9 for $2K. I assume everyone else did, as well(?)

    cybertruck is going to fail ? I doubt it

    This "truck" will not be something that businesses/companies will purchase for their fleet of maintenance type vehicles. I see this as a niche entry for nerds, geeks and freaks; anyone that desires to be different. (Nothing against the aforementioned; I'm a nerd/geek) :) A truck for a guy or...

    Unplugged sway bars

    Good question! I should have included that assessment, as well. I run my tires at 40psi. Have since acquiring and assured all were right at 40 yesterday. The answer is: hard to tell. I did pay attention to the ride and I didn’t really notice much difference. That’s me and if you drove it...

    Traffic overlay missing on map

    Well, it's been a year since I ordered and that is what Tesla said would be the end of "Premium" for those that purchased after July 18. Mine is gone and so are a lot of others. Tesla has dropped the ball on the implementation of the subscription service.

    Loss of Traffic Conditions on Map Since V10

    I do but, didn’t purchase until end of Nov 18. Thought it would run through then(?). Ahh, I feel Elon’s hand in my pocket! EDIT: I’m wrong! Ordered 3 Oct 18. I’m still feeling that hand, though! Thanks for the reminder, brother!

    M3 is a BMW, people

    On Tesla Forums and conversations about the 3, I refer to the “Model 3” as “the 3” or “my 3”. Everyone gets it. Simple, elegant and non-irritating to folks hung up on the “M3” monicker.

    Technician's Choice Ceramic Detail Spray: It's like a ceramic Bead Maker

    I was able to find the TC CDS locally. Bought a 32oz, used it, fell in love. Went and purchased a gallon. I use it every other week. On the “off-week” I use Hydro Silex. It provides a VERY slick and glossy finish. More so than the TC. If anything, the TC provides a durable, longer lasting...

    Are we Really Really Saving Money owning a Tesla?

    It costs me less than $10/wk to charge at home. That is a $20-25 savings/wk. Now that I have my Tesla PW, my charging is $0/wk. I park for free, downtown Honolulu for up to 2hrs at any meter AND I park for free at the airport for as long as my trip is. Ain't life grand!? :)

    Things my wife said about Navigate on Autopilot tonight

    Wouldn’t it be easier to just “drive” the car and wait for refinement of the AP feature? I get that Tesla collects data but, it just seems a bit much to consternate over.

    What product do you use for the deepest wettest looking gloss?

    I have Tech. Choice Ceramic Detail Spray, Optimum and Hydro Silex. I have to say, also, The Hydro Silex REALLY leaves the finish slick with a deep, lustrous shine. I use the TC every other weekend and the Hydro on off weeks. My car is hardly ever dirty and always looks great!

    Car Wash for my 3

    With the "conveyor" type washes, there has been difficulty with "neutral" and most of the conveyor washes don't want the responsibility of a car jamming up their system. As far as "chemicals bad for paint", I've never heard or read about that.

    My model 3 says full at 210 miles

    I know this a SR, SR+ thread BUT, I too, noticed a degredation of 4 miles at 90% SoC, starting 4 days ago. I have consistently gotten 270 for the last 7 months. I charge 2 times a week, at home, have never charged outside. Strange.....

    Taycan Takedown

    Well, changing "attitudes" isn't going to be accomplished by producing cars you need to take a 2nd mortgage on the house to own. All the talk of "competition" is moot with Porsche's entry offering. Might as well be a Lambo.

    Did Tesla's Speed Cause You to Get Speeding Tickets?!

    I'm thinking that by driving "112 mph" you're inviting a ticket, impounding, go to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200 BUT, PAY court fees, fines, impoundment fees, increased insurance rates, yadda, yadda. Yeah, I left my speeding ticket days back with my youth.
